Public Works Director Neil Winterton and staff member Baylor Hatch presented the changes, which staff said respond to roughly 84 audit items identified in a November 2024 audit by the Division of Water Quality. The ordinance amends Title 8, Chapter 6 (stormwater) and Title 11 site-plan requirements to (1) describe permitted discharges, (2) require applicants to file and close an online state land-disturbance permit, and (3) specify the Rational Method as the engineering approach for runoff calculations.

Winterton said the state had noted that applicants were sometimes filing the required online permits but not closing them when work completed; the new code language requires both application and formal closeout. \"There's three main things that they wanted to see, and that was permitted discharges ... the requirement for filling out an online permit for the state and not only filling it out and applying for it, but closing it out,\" Winterton said.

Baylor Hatch was singled out by Winterton for leading the effort to address the audit. Council members asked whether the city would be taking on enforcement responsibility; staff confirmed the city is responsible for enforcing the ordinance and related permit requirements. Winterton said the city had already submitted the language to the state and that this ordinance is the first of several items to complete the audit response; staff indicated a mid-November deadline from the state to finish remaining items.

Council Member Jensen moved to approve the ordinance; Council Member Limon seconded. A roll-call vote recorded unanimous approval.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Pleasant Grove City Council Meeting - 10/7/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Pleasant Grove City Council on Oct. 7 adopted Ordinance 2025-025 to amend stormwater and site-plan code in response to a Utah Division of Water Quality audit, including requirements to apply for and close state land-disturbance permits and to use the Rational Method for runoff calculations.","taxTitle","Pleasant Grove, Utah County, Utah","taxId",4710,"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},6427538,"Residents urge Pleasant Grove to fix school-area traffic after child struck; city schedules on-site meeting",3190,256000,3446000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5905399-6fbb0e174ad769321df6c9f0a47ebae4&start=256&end=3446","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5905399-6fbb0e174ad769321df6c9f0a47ebae4/thumbnail_256000.jpg","/articles/6427538/Pleasant-Grove/Utah-County/Utah/Residents-urge-Pleasant-Grove-to-fix-school-area-traffic-after-child-struck-city-schedules-on-site-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6427538-326be2ce66ab4dbc1ac5830bed83508b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773578422&Signature=buy52nwr4PxhM2112GjgegGCb~2cbziNptwcNcM8zz1LT8ZXQtIWA9euuQjt1zBuiVeBCLwq6yJo~PSs0Pa8JeIAe~d~qrtTGgKvVYVX9eOd2jzI~BpXFWXK4W4AKB0U-kSGermMjJMGuj5GaVDtPJxaKH~itzXoy--DCLAHzfm3Wp7Cn3IUSRurfVbBwxiL0O~sdTBGt0HUEt2MDEhH-GsGdXfcKlovTgwNvo~vYWc2jkTZyWzfDMQd58eVkj9r3-amXkI3v-LGX0~5rVkWvekzdMBVmRUT3qyh6TmRV585gmLGfbVnm~DqcWrDeVjS5Y5wHBD84-Fl6BglIS027g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pleasant Grove City Council heard several public comments on Oct. 7 urging action on traffic and pedestrian safety near Lincoln Academy after a child was struck in the area.

The comments came during the council’s public comment period, where speakers described high volumes of drop-off and pickup traffic on a partly modernized farm road, missing sidewalks and crosswalks, and vehicles traveling at speed during peak school times. Scott Derrick, the city administrator, told the council staff will meet on-site at Lincoln Academy the following day at 1 p.m. to walk the area with residents and discuss possible short- and longer-term solutions.

The push for action followed an emotional opening by council members referencing the recent fatal collision involving a child and earlier similar incidents. \"We mourn with members of our community that have been affected by this tragedy,\" one speaker said during opening remarks.

Christine Anderson, who identified herself as chairwoman of the American Fork Planning Commission, offered a range of possible measures. \"Some of the immediate ones could be staggering the start and end times at the school or partnering with a nearby church that has a parking lot that can be used as temporary parking during peak times,\" Anderson said, and she suggested midterm steps such as a carpool program using apps like GoKid and a traffic study targeted at peak hours.

An unidentified resident who said the neighborhood road was \"an old farm road that has never been fully modernized\" urged physical changes, including additional crosswalks, a four-way stop, or speed bumps. \"It's impossible. I've almost been hit trying to get across there because you've lines of cars that are lined up there,\" the resident said.

Derrick said the city will send a team to meet with residents and Lincoln Academy staff. \"Tomorrow is me, our chief of police, Kelvin Brown, and our public works director, Neil Winterton. So we would be the main three, dealing with some of these,\" he said, noting the city attorney could become involved depending on requests and legal constraints.

Council members indicated they would gather residents’ suggestions and direct staff to pursue feasible solutions. The city scheduled the on-site meeting to gather details; formal policy changes, funding or technical studies were not adopted at the Oct. 7 meeting.","Residents and the City Council discussed traffic and safety near Lincoln Academy after a child was struck.

Director Daniel Cardenas and applicant representatives from St. John’s Properties described the proposal as an effort to codify a set of uses commonly requested by tenants of the city’s recent flex-space buildings so future tenant requests need not be handled one-by-one. \"These are all uses that make sense to be here, so why not just add them so that they're available so we don't have to come in one at a time,\" an applicant representative said.

The additions include specific manufacturing categories (with assembly-only limits), apparel and leather product manufacturing tied to retail, refrigerated (climate-controlled) warehousing, and a clarified automotive repair use. For automotive services the code language adopted excludes engine and transmission rebuilds and requires all servicing to be conducted entirely indoors; no outdoor storage of vehicles being serviced is permitted.

Council and staff emphasized geographic limits: the revised overlay applies only to the specific GBP area (south of doTERRA, behind Tesla and adjacent to a newly approved hotel along State Street), not to the entire Grove zoning district. The planning commission and staff worked with the applicant to refine language about office/warehousing mixes and the allowed relationship between manufacturing/assembly and retail sales.

Marty, representing St. John’s Properties, said the flex buildings have performed well and the broader allowance will reduce the need for piecemeal code amendments. Council Member Anderson moved approval; Council Member Lamone seconded. The ordinance passed unanimously on roll call.

The planning commission had forwarded the item with recommendations that included clarifying that certain office uses (such as utility offices) should be office-only and that heavier outdoor industrial activities remain disallowed.","Pleasant Grove approved Ordinance 2025-024 to add multiple permitted uses to the Grove Business Park (GBP) overlay — including limited manufacturing, refrigerated warehousing, and auto servicing — with restrictions such as indoor-only vehicle servicing and assembly-only manufacturing.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6427528,"Pleasant Grove council adds tattooing as permitted use in Grove Commercial Sales District with limits",477,863000,1340000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5905399-6fbb0e174ad769321df6c9f0a47ebae4&start=863&end=1340","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5905399-6fbb0e174ad769321df6c9f0a47ebae4/thumbnail_863000.jpg","/articles/6427528/Pleasant-Grove/Utah-County/Utah/Pleasant-Grove-council-adds-tattooing-as-permitted-use-in-Grove-Commercial-Sales-District-with-limits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6427528-eb93c2c6c0057c5851263a6480aaac15/orig.mp4?Expires=1773578422&Signature=PNzIEnxpt-QjUN5gitme6fm1A453xvRDSrxnJTEXWv8f7axSRaSiYqBMDQ5qd7zTqS7LuyXYGGdFazzRU0B0w6IXhgdVSlEjkx-9vVNtVWGaU232092ZmWvTh1gGzMqc-Q-tCDaRdQ8uL6XYdaKjrqcwkY4V-qmeS~5xXSd91dgq~FTGdg4~bi019NihMR68XAnGMoN~K1N-n4ZRVm3AbLbDnC8tWbSdvTTxaNx-UmtKO78ffkhjP19zXfwrqcqQ326aJXrmKKTKTPVW~gilHjfXLDlGMCf4M1--6k0CzGNX6LspOQz-yzee3CEL9o43XJaBmaj7Uqxbq8IBq5AKkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pleasant Grove City Council on Oct. 7 approved Ordinance 2025-023 to add use 62-95 (tattooing) to the list of permitted principal uses in the Grove Commercial Sales subdistrict under limited conditions.

Director Daniel Cardenas presented the item and said staff reviewed how other cities regulate tattooing and recommended permitting the use only for properties fronting State Street and only when the tattooing business is associated with use 62-30 (beauty and barber services). \"Tattoo parlor by itself is not permitted or is not proposed to be permitted at this point,\" Cardenas said.

Council Member Jensen moved to approve the ordinance; Council Member Williams seconded. On a roll-call vote, Council Members Anderson, Rogers, Jensen, Ramon and Williams voted yes and the motion carried.

Cardenas and the planning commission discussed other possible restrictions. The city does not include a minimum separation distance between tattoo businesses, and staff said the council did not propose any additional distance or content-based signage restrictions. Cardenas noted existing city sign regulations remain in force and that regulating the content of a sign is legally complicated.

The planning commission had recommended unanimous approval with the two conditions: (1) the tattooing use be limited to properties fronting State Street and (2) the tattooing operation be associated with beauty/barber services. The council adopted those conditions in the ordinance.

No public comments were offered during the public hearing on this item.","The council approved Ordinance 2025-023 to permit tattooing (use 6295) in the Grove Commercial Sales subdistrict on State Street only and only when associated with beauty/barber services; standalone tattoo parlors remain prohibited.","actionData","errors"]
