Summary
At its Feb. 6 regular meeting the Far West City Council approved minutes and bills, granted two business licenses, amended the general plan to allow commercial use on a northern parcel of Far West Landing, authorized a new city building cleaning contract, and reappointed planning commission members and leadership.
Far West City Council conducted a set of routine and substantive actions on Feb. 6, approving minutes and bills, issuing two business licenses, amending the general plan for a northern parcel of Far West Landing, approving a new cleaning-services contract for city buildings and reappointing members to the planning commission.
Minutes and finance The council approved minutes dated Jan. 16, 2025, and authorized payment of bills dated Jan. 31, 2025. Both motions passed unanimously on voice vote.
Business licenses The council granted a business license to TW Halls LLC (applicant Dallin Webster), a transportation/hauling business. The applicant said he will store most equipment off-site and would keep any vehicle or trailer at his residence behind a fence when necessary. The council emphasized neighborhood appearance and said on-site storage in residential areas must remain behind fences and not obstruct sidewalks. The license passed on a unanimous roll-call vote: Bob — Aye; Tim — Aye; Boyd — Aye; David — Aye.
The council also approved a license for Iron Shop LLC (owner David Edgel), a 24/7 fitness facility that will occupy about 3,000 square feet in a new building behind existing commercial uses. The applicant described a capped membership plan and controlled access (keycard/fingerprint and cameras). The motion passed unanimously on roll call: David — Aye; Boyd — Aye; Tim — Aye; Bob — Aye.
Zoning/general plan amendment The council voted to amend the city’s general plan for the northernmost parcel of the Far West Landing property (parcel 19-016-0058) to change the future land-use designation from manufacturing (M-1) to commercial (C-3). Council members clarified the change affects the future land-use map and does not revoke any existing zoning entitlements for properties already entitled as M-1. The amendment passed unanimously on roll call: Bob — Aye; Tim — Aye; Boyd — Aye; David — Aye.
City building cleaning services Councilors considered a proposal from Suave (proposal summary provided in meeting materials) to replace the current contractor. Staff said the proposed service would increase monthly contract costs by about $300 but provide more frequent and deeper cleaning of locker rooms and restrooms. Council members said budget projections could absorb the increase for the remainder of the fiscal year and approved the contract change, with city staff to finalize contract terms and a standard one-year renewal approach. The motion passed unanimously on roll call: David — Aye; Boyd — Aye; Tim — Aye; Bob — Aye.
Planning commission appointments The council reappointed planning commission members Geneva Blanchard and Lou Best and appointed Jason Anderson as a full voting member (previously alternate). The council also reappointed the planning commission chair (Geneva) and vice chair (Lyle). All appointments passed unanimously on roll calls.
Procedural notes Where roll-call tallies were read into the record, votes were unanimous among the four members recorded. No member voted against or abstained on the items listed above.
