Votes at a glance: Roy City Council approves zoning code changes and several resolutions, tables building-fee changes
Summary
Roy City Council approved several resolutions and ordinances on March 18, including a downtown zoning amendment, new Aquatic Center fees, and an interlocal waterline agreement; it tabled building-fee changes and denied a development agreement for the Echelon site.
This summary lists the formal actions taken by the Roy City Council at its March 18, 2025 meeting. All items below are drawn from the meeting record.
- Consent items: Council approved routine consent items, including the January 2025 financial statements (voice vote) after staff answered questions about property-tax timing and grant-funded projects.
- Resolution 25-3 (Roy Days safe zones): Approved (roll-call vote). The council adopted Resolution 25-3 designating Emma Russell Park (Aug. 1) and George Wallen Park (Aug. 2) as safe zones for Roy Days, a measure staff said will set a proactive zero-tolerance enforcement posture during the events but will not change operational policing plans.
- Resolution 25-4 (Aquatic Center fee schedule): Approved (roll-call vote). Parks and Recreation recommended and the council adopted an adjusted fee schedule for daily admissions and pavilion rentals at the Roy Aquatic Center; staff said daily admission increases averaged about 27% and switched to a flat admission rate rather than resident/nonresident levels for daily admission.
- Resolution 25-5 (building inspections/plan-review fees): TABLED. Staff asked to table Resolution 25-5 so remaining questions about fee changes can be addressed; the council voted to table and to return the item to a near-term meeting for further review.
- Resolution 25-6 (interlocal agreement with Roy Water Conservancy District): Approved (roll-call vote). Council authorized an interlocal agreement by which Roy City will contract for water-line replacement at the 6000 South / 3100 West roundabout and be reimbursed for the Roy Water Conservancy District's share; staff said the contractor expects to begin Monday if the agreement is executed.
- Ordinance 25-2 (zoning amendment: downtown heights to stories): Approved (roll-call). The council moved the downtown code from fixed feet to a stories-based measurement and substituted a 10-story cap for the eastern downtown subzone (planning commission had recommended 12 stories); the council recorded one dissenting vote.
- Ordinance 25-3 (development agreement — Echelon / Sunset Builders): DENIED (4-1). The council voted to deny a development agreement for the Echelon site at 5902 South 1900 West that would have increased the project's allowable height.
- Ordinance 25-4 (annual Truth-in-Taxation hearing requirement): Approved (roll-call). The ordinance requires the city to hold an annual truth-in-taxation hearing; the council recorded a 3-2 vote on that ordinance.
- Employee recognition: Motion to name Detective Mark Krieger employee of the month passed by voice vote; chief and council praised an investigation that led to multiple closure actions.
Ending: Items tabled or denied may return for future council action. Staff will bring supplemental material on the building-fee proposal (Resolution 25-5) and follow up on the implementation details for the adopted items.
