Utah County commissioners refer land-use text amendment, adjust consent agenda and set closed meetings
Summary
During the Oct. 5 meeting commissioners approved a redline change to a zoning text amendment, referred a separate land-use text amendment for commission action, ratified an IGP grant administrator correction, struck two regular agenda items, and voted to hold two closed sessions for personnel and litigation strategy following the regular agenda.
Utah County commissioners on Oct. 5 took a series of procedural and policy steps: they ratified a correction to an Intergenerational Poverty (IGP) grant application, approved a redline zoning text amendment, formally referred a county land-use ordinance text amendment for commission consideration, removed two regular agenda items from the docket, and set two closed meetings to discuss personnel and litigation strategy.
Early in the meeting commissioners conducted a short Board of Equalization session and approved three BOE reports unanimously. The commission then reviewed its consent agenda; Heather Lewis of the prevention department said contract invoices require corrections to service boxes in section 1 of the contract forms and commissioners agreed to keep affected items on consent with a notation to correct the forms.
Commissioner (speaker 2) explained that the IGP grant application had incorrectly listed responsibility and that Utah County should be identified as the administrator. The commission ratified consent agenda item number 1 with the noted redline changes (motion approved 2-0). Later, community development staff Brandon Larson presented amendments to section 16J to add RA-5 to the list of zones eligible for nonconforming lots of record, add a road-dedication requirement for any nonconforming lot with right-of-way area, and require RA-5 nonconforming lots to have at least 90% of the minimum lot area for a single-family or manufactured dwelling. Commissioners approved the redline version of regular agenda item 2 (motion passed 2-0).
Commissioner (speaker 2) moved to refer the proposed county land-use ordinance text amendment contained in regular agenda item 3; that referral passed 2-0. The commission also voted to strike regular agenda items 5 and 6. Finally, commissioners voted to set closed meetings following the regular agenda to discuss (1) character, competence or health of individuals (personnel matters) and (2) strategy for pending or reasonably imminent litigation/mediation.
The commission did not receive any public comment before adjourning into the closed sessions.
Votes and motions recorded in the meeting transcript were typically unanimous among the two commissioners present (recorded as "aye" and passing 2-0).
