The council accepted the package for formal action and directed staff to forward text amendments related to land‑use code to the planning commission for a public hearing.

The main items staff described were:

- A proposed drainage manual to provide technical standards for stormwater design and to reduce the risk of future drainage failures in new subdivisions. Staff said the manual aims to provide consistent, modern guidance for natural channel solutions and detention design.

- New guidance on temporary turnarounds and a code provision to allow driveway alternatives, which staff said will save cities and developers tens of thousands of dollars by reducing the need to build full asphalt turnarounds in some circumstances.

- A crosswalk policy with a clear checklist and go/no‑go diagram for staff to evaluate requests for marked crossings, including the role of hawk signals and crossing guards.

- Thresholds and content requirements for traffic impact studies, so staff and applicants know when a study is required and what it must contain.

Councilmembers asked staff to return with ordinance language so the planning commission can hold a public hearing and the council can consider adoption at a later meeting. Staff agreed to revise the draft by incorporating commission comments and the council’s guidance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Kaysville City Council Meeting 6-5-2025","oneSentenceSummary","City staff presented a package of code updates and standards including a drainage manual, crosswalk policy and thresholds for traffic‑impact studies; the council instructed staff to carry the land‑use text changes to planning commission for a public hearing.","taxTitle","Kaysville, Davis County, Utah","taxId",7302,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533255,"Police annual report highlights calls, staffing changes; victim‑services grants renewed",1031,2977000,4008000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3795660-274f03c5159e60dea6c163ffc4bb20da&start=2977&end=4008","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3795660-274f03c5159e60dea6c163ffc4bb20da/thumbnail_2977000.jpg","/articles/6533255/Kaysville/Davis-County/Utah/Police-annual-report-highlights-calls-staffing-changes-victimservices-grants-renewed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533255-5e1f7cd093ba49a347fdb25d43f14525/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448536&Signature=CgyzLnl69Obyg--470FLBlec~ZUVPg1S0tNihZen2kXKxRuOnEod51Ldiy5ZOYcPk5AiIJdNC9dGAO92saN11JDUqMna1jprHuftWqpmsYyrlVQO02Z3m2uPG4Rfb9CAwyrTxrDvgNKA6vvXcRXsXFLAgcl~I~Qi-VD0ssCGqYND3d0EG4ioZR-fq-batXkDBHHhVDeT2nVzhRvQwkAullVcBE3L1NXE3rGlRIufrQXgN9HTH3bNX7qvuvcd9g-yNEqAw9Cov2hl6Xhscb6z-BlFKcElHB932kABpNjJCK421PjxMaNi2SM4eGDFYnvH2K2JZi7ovV0SfU4Yanc8mA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kaysville Police Chief presented the department’s annual report during the council meeting, reporting roughly 17,000 calls for service in the year and noting that overall crime statistics were down slightly compared with the prior year.

Chief said the city remained one of the state’s lower‑crime communities while also pointing to areas of concern: response times had risen and staffing had fluctuated. The department experienced about a 10 percent attrition rate during the year, including three officer separations and one long‑term medical disability; staff have since hired replacements and one new officer is currently in the police academy.

The department reported finishing an upgrade to in‑car and dash‑camera systems and completing a project to consolidate records and dispatch servers with neighboring agencies. Chief said the switch to Bountiful dispatch from county dispatch is operating well though the city and county are negotiating a payment reconciliation related to 9‑1‑1 funding.

On victim services, the council heard from Jennifer Winchester, the city’s victim advocate, that her Utah victim‑services program grant covers 62 percent of her salary and an application to continue level funding for 2025–2027 was pending. The federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) grant that funds roughly 25 percent of the city’s VAWA detective’s salary was reported as approved during the meeting.

Chief and staff also recognized Tina Johnson, who volunteers as a youth‑court advisor; the chief summarized the program’s work and Ms. Johnson’s years of service, noting hundreds of youth court hearings and thousands of supervisory hours. Two victims served by victim‑services submitted letters of appreciation, which Winchester handed to the council.

Council members thanked the department and victims services staff and discussed future equipment needs, such as taser replacements and software costs, and the importance of continued investments to keep response times and training at an effective level.","Kaysville police reported roughly 17,000 calls and modest crime declines in the most recent year, noted increased response times and staffing churn; the department’s victim‑services grant and a VAWA grant were renewed and the city recognized a longtime youth‑court volunteer.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533260,"Council approves rezoning at West Davis Corridor; developer to include townhomes with ownership limits",467,3643000,4110000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3795660-274f03c5159e60dea6c163ffc4bb20da&start=3643&end=4110","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3795660-274f03c5159e60dea6c163ffc4bb20da/thumbnail_3643000.jpg","/articles/6533260/Kaysville/Davis-County/Utah/Council-approves-rezoning-at-West-Davis-Corridor-developer-to-include-townhomes-with-ownership-limits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533260-d8f5395ebdda91891a37c6dcee23cd80/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448536&Signature=aItTYsGQpNzZKTPJr~EtiKaZ2GEN8PZ3mA6pdem1C7I7pT8mFSI0s7k6KF2Yg7Axf54MdX3si3BeP21sSMgMrkHdCR48iPDNd~wTkwqCrSZdgg7FIU4TmbdLCUnrokghr723ImTBFfSeyUfMf3GCpvJQRPVGMAaSM9q3yrP3s5ahDJlSbfLhFC07vjptZ59ik~OQUmo3EFAV8K0Scq6N5q0xPEDxVNoQMTleNHA7zn7hWZrWLVMWr7GQPr15FfXRnnJ4Ag8ofmIAQoNmqi6GBk1mglDkYhKUVMQbUWHoaGHELXpyTfR8e2NXrKuYgorlvJ6SQEmUgQar04vfNMyoyw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kaysville City Council approved two related rezonings on property the Holland Group bought from UDOT near the West Davis Corridor interchange, clearing the way for a mixed commercial and townhome project.

The council first rezoned roughly 4.88 acres to a light industrial (LI) classification intended to accommodate flexible retail, convenience and ‘flex’ warehouse uses tailored to the site’s location near the highway interchange. Council members and staff removed specific conditional uses the planning commission had flagged as incompatible with nearby homes, and the developer agreed to exclude self‑storage from permitted uses at the site.

The council then approved rezoning the adjacent 3.77‑acre parcel from residential agriculture to RM multi‑family with a planned residential unit development (PRUD) overlay. The RM/PRUD approval allows townhome development and requires a development agreement; the council approved amendments to that agreement Thursday.

Those amendments, requested by council members during the meeting, included: a limit on bulk purchases by institutional investors (the development agreement uses a provision that would prohibit ownership of three or more units by a single institutional buyer and limits individual ownership to two units); a requirement to encourage owner‑occupancy with an explicit statement that the project is intended to be a for‑sale community; and a height allowance of 33 feet to accommodate pitched roofs on three‑story townhomes. The developer said the intent is to deliver for‑sale townhomes sized roughly 1,800–2,200 square feet, two‑car garages with 20‑foot driveways and amenities including a dog run, play area and small common spaces.

Staff and the planning commission told council members that the project provides more housing choices than are typical in Kaysville, meets open‑space requirements above the RM minimum and includes additional parking and a 30‑foot setback facing Farmington. The planning commission recommended approval subject to the development agreement, and the council approved the rezones and the development agreement with the modifications.

Council discussion included questions about traffic, pedestrian safety at an existing school crossing near the site and the relationship between the LI frontage and the residential townhomes. The developer and staff said all access will be controlled from Divide Drive and that UDOT restricted access from Sunset Drive when the property was surplused. Several Farmington residents had raised concerns in planning‑commission hearings about density and proximity to residential streets; the council said the PRUD overlay and setbacks are designed to mitigate compatibility concerns.

The council motion to approve both rezonings carried. Staff will incorporate the council‑approved development agreement terms into the formal ordinance and record the agreement as part of any building permit and subdivision process that follows.","The council approved two companion rezonings for 8.65 acres off 950 North: light‑industrial zoning for a commercial/retail frontage and RM townhome zoning with a PRUD overlay.

City staff had presented several items for council consideration during a required budget hearing, including potential additions to staffing (assistant city attorney, a police sergeant and a deputy fire chief), updated cost estimates for a proposed gymnasium project with Davis School District and proposed utility rate adjustments for power and water. The council’s final motion adjusted a handful of those requests but stopped short of making broader cuts the meeting’s opponents had proposed.

The council debated whether to add the deputy fire chief, a position city fire leadership had recommended. Council members acknowledged concerns about service levels on Kaysville’s growing West Side but expressed hesitation about adding the recurring payroll and benefit costs immediately. At the meeting’s close the council approved removing the deputy fire chief position from the tentative budget; the transcript shows the motion carried after members discussed alternative timelines for future fire‑station staffing.

On utilities, staff used financial modeling to show how retained earnings and capital needs would be affected if rates were not adjusted. After discussion the council voted to leave the proposed power and water increases as they appeared in the tentative budget — not reducing the proposed percentage increases at this meeting — citing infrastructure needs and the risk of deferring capital projects.

Councilmembers also approved setting $30,000 from fund balance for sidewalk repairs and directed staff to return with a refined budget reflecting the council’s direction in advance of the final FY2026 adoption. Councilmembers emphasized they had not yet adopted any final personnel hires or long‑term financing; the changes reflect amendments to the tentative document only. Staff reiterated that the final budget will be adopted in late June and that truth‑in‑taxation notices rely on the revised tentative figures.

The council approved the amendment motion. The meeting record does not include a roll‑call tally in the transcript for the budget amendment motion; councilmembers discussed multiple competing priorities in the discussion that preceded the vote.","After extended debate the Kaysville City Council modified the tentative FY2026 budget: it removed a requested deputy fire‑chief position, left proposed utility rate increases at staff levels, and directed a small sidewalks allocation from fund balance.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6533268,"Kaysville council backs joint gym at Kaysville Junior High with Davis School District",4471,2729000,7200000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3795660-274f03c5159e60dea6c163ffc4bb20da&start=2729&end=7200","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3795660-274f03c5159e60dea6c163ffc4bb20da/thumbnail_2729000.jpg","/articles/6533268/Kaysville/Davis-County/Utah/Kaysville-council-backs-joint-gym-at-Kaysville-Junior-High-with-Davis-School-District","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6533268-f049c0aa5c29c9f7c4e6b548cdee19c7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448536&Signature=nZ9Ri3KUxxf7rNqANlnsvZXiCBdo0v-kjWBUYCXHfIT-aIXmdstv34MhjITV1iXiihsrYPnNDb8rpAxH5NRIK1T6wQzPSjY5X3syIe1xMuUg4dDrCTDggDbHJJH9HQnvh5qxrE9WlkjoKBZTXvdxbb-57Vh5Q6tfI8c511wOHNHDC663Q2UkvV1gkwsKwX20IN2F-4FAwVp2ctu9tMTHSjzWkV6BV~F1IPVFL~1sQ9d4RujmcsoDgM7Y7MWeoEzbND4LgmcEFuRatuIZbj4Xec1gEHoNJDMlMSFIyjcGImAFcfkba8iHFA2gV9F2twzSn0mjHsv6hpnSUu7tCgW9OQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kaysville City Council on Thursday authorized staff to proceed with design and planning for a proposed joint gymnasium at Kaysville Junior High, a partnership the Davis School District and local architects described as a way to deliver large, recreation-style gym space to the city at a lower per‑unit cost than a standalone municipal center.

Architects from VCBO and a district representative presented an initial concept showing a stand‑alone gym with a perimeter running track, spectator seating and shared fitness and office space. The council’s action directs city staff to continue design coordination with the school district and the architects and to return with further cost and contract details.

Supporters at the meeting urged the council to seize the opportunity. “It’s a win‑win,” Brian Turner of the Davis School District said during the presentation. VCBO architect Bridal Peterson said the model has been used elsewhere in the county and allows a city to get “a rec center for a quarter of the price” of a standalone facility.

The preliminary concept shown to the council includes a two‑court main floor that can be striped for basketball, volleyball or multiple pickleball courts, retractable seating, locker rooms for the school and a second‑level fitness and cardio area that could be served separately from school spaces. Architects said design and bids could be ready to bid by late fall or early winter and that construction would likely take 18–24 months after a contractor is selected.

Several residents urged the council to approve the partnership. Gil Miller, a longtime resident who spoke during the public‑comment portion, said he regretted a similar council decision that blocked a school partnership years ago and urged the council not to repeat it. Laurie Cragan asked council members to balance recreation spending with public‑safety needs, particularly a future West Side fire station; Michelle Barber, who said she now serves on the Davis School District board, supported the district as a reliable delivery partner and said the district will manage construction to budget.

Councilmembers discussed financing options, including using a portion of the city’s dedicated recreation (RAMP) sales tax and bonding. Jason (city manager) noted preliminary estimates tying a 25‑year bond for the city share of the gym to a modest annual per‑household cost and said the city would bring a construction manager on board to refine costs. Councilmember comments ranged from full support to caution about timing and total cost; no interlocal or funding commitment was finalized Thursday.

The council voted to authorize staff to continue planning and design work with the school district and the project architects. The motion carried; council members did not adopt a binding interlocal agreement or formal bond at the meeting. Additional public meetings, a more detailed cost estimate and a draft interlocal agreement were identified as the next steps.

The council and staff indicated they will return with a clearer financing plan, a construction schedule and a proposed interlocal agreement for council consideration before any final funding decision.

Looking ahead, the school district representatives said they hope to have a construction manager on board by mid‑July and to be ready to put the project out to bid late this year. Final costs will depend on design, market conditions and contract awards.","City council voted to have staff proceed with plans to partner with Davis School District on a larger gym at Kaysville Junior High, advancing design work and asking for further cost detail and an interlocal agreement later.","actionData","errors"]
