Summary

At its meeting the Provo City Council approved several routine land-use items and consented to appointments; the council also received a public hearing on the HUD Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER).

The Provo City Council recorded several short, largely noncontroversial votes and a public hearing at its recent meeting.

Appointments and boards - The council passed a resolution consenting to multiple board and commission appointments and reappointments (vote recorded 7-0). The mayor presented appointees including David Taylor and Jared Cobia for the Airport Board and other reappointments to the Landmarks Commission and Planning Commission.

Rezones and annexations (brief items) - The council approved an ordinance changing the zone map for property at 920 South / 1020 West (Sunset neighborhood) to allow subdivision (vote 7-0). Staff said the rezone would enable creation of an additional single-family lot. - The council approved an ordinance amending the zone map for property at 2858 West Center Street from Agriculture (A-1) to one-family residential (R1-7) to allow subdivision of an existing 1.04-acre parcel into three lots; the motion passed 7-0. - The council accepted an annexation petition for two single-family properties at 5490 North Canyon Road for further consideration (vote 7-0). These two properties requested annexation to join adjacent city territory and cited access to city services.

Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) - The council held a public hearing on the CAPER (HUD Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report) presented by community grants administrator Melissa McNally. McNally summarized CDBG and HOME accomplishments: CDBG-funded projects and nonprofit capital improvements, 11 jobs created or retained, 7 homeowner rehabilitations, and down-payment assistance (1 household in Provo and 17 countywide). The public hearing was opened and closed with no speakers at the meeting; McNally said the public comment period remains open through the city's online portal through the date stated in the staff presentation.

Each of the short items recorded unanimous council votes where shown; no substantial controversies arose on these items during the meeting.
