6:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING -Parks Master Plan
RESOLUTION - Adopting the City of Orem Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space
Master Plan and amending the Orem City General Plan to include the City of Orem
Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Master Plan as Appendix G
Reed Price said the proposal had been in the planning stage for several months, including
meeting with a steering committee composed of recreation-minded residents, staff, and advisory
commissions.
Mark Vlasic of Landmark Design presented a request to adopt the City of Orem Parks,
Recreation, Trails and Open Space Master Plan and amend the Orem City General Plan by
adopting the plan as Appendix G.
The development of the Orem Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Master Plan was
undertaken in 2016 to ensure the City kept pace with demand for parks, recreation and trail
facilities in a comprehensive and equitable manner. The plan captured the vision and needs of the
existing community while providing policy guidance for allocating resources during the ten-year
planning period and beyond.
The planning process involved a multifaceted public input process which included a statistically-
valid survey, a face-to-face scoping meeting that included a visual preference survey (twenty-
nine people signed in), a draft plan open house review meeting (thirty-six people signed in), and
a project website that served both as a clearinghouse for project information, mapping, drafts and
meeting dates, and also provided the public with the opportunity to comment on the plan
throughout the planning process. The planning team worked closely with a group of staff
Mr. Vlasic suggested two additional parks be added within the City, which he identified in his
presentation. Mr. Macdonald asked for clarification regarding the standards used to decide if
additional park space needed. Mr. Vlasic stated that the largest park in the City was a regional
community park. He said there was an overlap of parks in some areas, and in their study they
specifically identified areas where there were no parks near residential developments; the radius
that was analyzed was anywhere from a quarter mile to a mile.
Mr. Macdonald said the junior high school had park-like facilities; therefore, some of the
neighborhoods that Mr. Vlasic identified did have some sort of green space nearby.
Mr. Vlasic said his team was recommending that the City acquire an additional ten acres for park
a
surrounding Cherryhill Park. If the City expanded that particular park, it would better serve the
surrounding area. He then discussed the level of service currently provided in Orem and noted

Orem would likely be built out.
Mr. Lentz inquired upon the Alpine School District's official policy regarding public use of their
facilities. Mr. Price said that as a public entity, those facilities should have been available for
public use. However, the City could not count on those resources to be available. He said if the
school district were to close down a school for any reason, then those properties would no longer
be available. The City could only control the facilities that it owned.
Mr. Lentz asked if there were spaces that could be used in the interim while the City worked on
solutions for acquiring more park space. Mr. Vlasic said they had encouraged other cities to
that they address the school district's policy on the matter during the next joint meeting.
e s e s s
said they anticipated that the majority of those parks would be developed as part of private
initiatives for new development. He then reviewed a list of recommendations included in
Landmark Design's study:
Focus on regional trails and multiuse paths
Implement mountain to lakeshore trail system
Provide connections to the Bonneville shoreline trail
Implement on-street bike facilities as part of street and roadway upgrading projects
Continue implementation of street completion projects and increase project costs for
bike/pedestrian facilities from ten percent to twenty percent
Increase transit integration
Education and community outreach
Lighting and safety improvements
The plan proposed five new trailheads/trail accesses, including upgrades to the Provo
Canyon Trailhead
Address “hot spots" (intersections that posed challenges to bicyclists and pedestrians)
Establish a dedicated funding source
Establish a bicycle and pedestrian commission
Mr. Vlasic shared a list of priorities, acquisitions, and construction costs which totaled a little
over $32 million. A proposed action plan was then presented.
Mr. Lentz asked if the figures included the Altogether Playground, and Mr. Vlasic answered
affirmatively.
Mr. Sumner asked about the process for purchasing additional property for future parks. Mr.
Vlasic discussed the park space in Taylorsville City and said that when it first became a city, a
significant amount of acreage was purchased to plan for future park space. While it was a costly
endeavor at the time, it saved them a significant amount of money when it came time to develop
park space later. He stated that Orem City should purchase property even it if meant that it
wouldn't get developed for several more years.
City Council Minutes - June 27, 2017 (p.5)
Mr. Sumner asked if the City presently required developers with a significant amount of acreage
to include park space on their site plans. Mr. Bell said the City did not currently have land
identified for large parks. However, as State Street developed along the corridor, the City would
Mr. Davidson said there had been situations when the City had been outbid for property, namely
the Williams Farm. As larger parcels came into play, staff could negotiate with developers and
grant additional density in exchange for park space. He said there were a number of ways to
handle the matter; however, he did not see it being an issue because there wasn't a lot of property
available. Orem had a lot of open space that was not included in the plan, such as Orem
Community Hospital, Sleepy Ridge Golf Course, Powell Slough, etc. All the survey work that
had been done indicated that residents liked the open space Orem currently had, and that they
would like to see existing park space maintained.
Mr. Vlasic said that they were recommending that the wetlands be designated as a nature park.
He said there were opportunities for the City to acquire the wetlands by way of a conservation
easement.
Mr. Macdonald asked about the total budget proposed. He said that even though Mr. Vlasic had
only presented a plan, the costs outlined therein were significant. He said he would prefer more
study on the part on the Council before voting on the matter.
Mr. Davidson said that was “a chicken and the egg" situation. In order for the City to establish
impact fees within the community, the City needed to have a master plan to provide future
direction. The impact fees would become part of the revenue stream to pay for the
improvements. The plan became the foundation by which they could impose a fee. If they didn't
have the plan in place, developers and HOAs would question what the impact fees were based
upon. He said that, while the numbers were significant, staff did not intend to come before the
Mr. Vlasic said the plan was based upon forty-four years, and if the amount was divided by that
number of years, it became more manageable.
Mr. Davidson said in recent years the City had budgeted a half a million dollars or more in the
replacement of play structures, the reconstruction of trails, restroom improvements, ball park
improvements, etc. Therefore, setting significant amounts of money aside for park projects was
not unprecedented. However, they had not been setting aside a sufficient amount of money to
address all types of concerns. There would be a need to replace existing equipment and facilities,
and this plan would guide discussions regarding the best ways of spending the City's parks and
trails money.
Mr. Lentz asked if the amount was the entire estimate or just a subsection of the plan. Mr. Vlasic
said the proposed master plan did not include any improvements to the fitness center or a
deferred maintenance budget amount. Mr. Lentz said there was $1 million in CARE funds each
year which went towards the type of projects described in the plan. He said this was not an
incrementally new amount; rather, they wanted to have a long-range plan in place.
City Council Minutes - June 27, 2017 (p.6)
Mr. Davidson said the community wanted the amenities but also did not want to pay for them.
The City had to walk a fine line between both sides of that ledger. People had very high
expectations but a very low tolerance for paying for those improvements.
Mr. Lentz said that one of the reasons he voted “no" last month on the CARE allocation for arts
and culture, was because he was not comfortable with the City's process of figuring out how to
distribute the funds. He said that process was dependent upon the emotions of the members of
the City Council. However, he felt that this plan put a more scientific approach to the City's
long-range planning for the other half of CARE tax allocations. He said it was better aligned
withwhattheresidentswantedtosee.
Mr. Davidson said the proposed master plan would change over time as trends changed. He
mentioned pickleball as such an example. He said adopting the proposal tonight did not lock the
City into a specific plan and recommended revisiting this type of plan every five years. Mr.
Vlasic noted that the plan did include that specific recommendation.
Mayor Brunst said he liked the plan but understood Mr. Macdonald's concerns. Mayor Brunst
reviewed some items that he thought had inflated prices. He recommended that the Council
adopt this plan with the statement that these figures were estimates only.
Mr. Spencer asked for an explanation of what an impact fee was for the public.
Mr. Davidson said that, as a City, Orem had never assessed park impact fees. Presently, staff was
trying to determine the current level of service for park amenities within the community. As
additional development took place in Orem, thereby adding impact to the existing amenities, the
City had an opportunity to assess a fee for that added impact on park infrastructure. One issue
trying to get a realistic ballpark figure as to what some of these amenities would cost. It was
possible to end up in a situation where they had not collected enough impact fees to maintain the
current level of service; if that happened, the financial gap would be filled using existing dollars
within the budget. In that case, new members of the community would not be bearing the full
impact of those additional infrastructure/amenities. For that reason, it was important to develop a
master plan which included realistic numbers.
Mayor Brunst said if the proposed figures were used as a basis for determining impact fees, then
he would want those numbers reviewed. He said he could not feel good about voting for fees that
were not realistic based on current standard.
Mr. Davidson said he respectfully disagreed. It cost a lot more than more people realized to
purchase property and construct amenities. The City had previously discussed constructing
pickleball courts for less money, but the impact fee did not take into account parking, restrooms
and other items that were also necessary.
Mr. Macdonald asked Mr. Vlasic if he was comfortable with the figures that had been presented.
Mr. Vlasic said acreage was the most important determining factor, and that there were only
certain things for which impact fees could be used. He said Mayor Brunst was right that the
figures were placeholders. The figures were not meant to be a budget but rather something to use
when looking into the future.
City Council Minutes -June 27,2017(p.7)
Mr. Macdonald asked if they were within a reasonable tolerance level, and Mr. Vlasic answered
affirmatively. Mr. Macdonald said that typically the City's finance director provided overviews
of the City's revenues and expenditures throughout the year. However, this particular part of the
study had not yet taken place; therefore, they needed to approve the plan so they could properly
measure the City's impact fees before determining whether or not they were operating within an
appropriate budget.
Mr. Davidson said Mr. Bybee was watching the stream of the meeting and had been
communicating with Zions Bank regarding the costs that had been presented, to make sure they
were in the ballpark relative to these fees.
Mr. Macdonald said that while the Council believed theoe figures to be high, Mr. Bybee, Mr.
Vlasic and Zions Bank professionals thought the estimates were reasonable.
Mr. Sumner asked if the impact fee schedule was developed by Zions Bank. Mr. Vlasic answered
affirmatively, and said his company was part of the Zions Bank team. Landmark Designs was
tasked with preparing the master plan first so that Zions Bank could use the data to develop the
impact fees. Therefore, there was a correlation between what was proposed in the master plan
and what would be coming out of the impact fee study. Mr. Sumner asked if there were any
regulations on impact fees, and Mr. Vlasic answered affirmatively. Mr. Sumner said Orem was
one of the few communities that did not have impact fees.
Mr. Price said that when this was discussed with the Public Works Advisory Commission, they
were adamant that the City look at impact fees for parks and other areas of the City.
Mr. Macdonald said residents who had lived in Orem for fifty years had paid for the current
amenities. New people needed to pay their fair share, and that was the intended purpose of
impact fees. Mr. Price said that was correct. He also said there were regulations on how those
funds were to be spent. One such regulation was to have some sort of a master plan in place,
quantifying the fees being charged on new developments.
In response to a question from Mayor Brunst, Mr. Hirst said the cost of the dog park was
$180,0oo. Mayor Brunst asked how much the bike skills park would cost. Mr. Hirst said the
estimate he previously submitted was for the skills portion of the park only; it was never meant
to be the full project cost. The skills portion of that park would cost $60,000 to $80,00o. Mr.
Macdonald asked about the value of the land under the park, and Mr. Hirst said he could not
provide an exact cost.
Mayor Brunst said that, in his opinion, the numbers presented were too inflated and therefore
much higher than they should be.
Mr. Seastrand said they were making estimates for the next twenty to thirty years. They did not
know if they would have to buy more land for some of these projects. The proposed plan was
something upon which to build for the future.
a s
he thought was inflated.
City Council Minutes - June 27, 2017 (p.8)
Mayor Brunst opened the public hearing. No one came forward to speak, so he closed the public
hearing.
Mr. Lentz said they were not voting on impact fees tonight; rather, that was a future discussion.
He said he was comfortable with what was being proposed.
Mayor Brunst asked how impact fees would be determined. Mr. Davidson said the plan would
become a foundational piece for the impact fee discussion. There was a separate process for
figuring out impact fees, but it did incorporate findings from within the master plan.
Additionally, there was a requirement for the City to develop a capital facilities plan that would
also serve as a guide for assessing impact fees. State law had specific guidelines on how impact
fee money could be spent.
Mr. Vlasic said those numbers had nothing to do with the impact fee calculations. Impact fees
were calculated off the costs of existing land and not of future land. He said the figures were just
projections for future needs. Mayor Brunst said that was not what he had understood based on
the discussion.
Mr. Davidson said it was a good faith effort at trying to identify future costs. They were not
using these numbers as the sole reasoning for impact fees. However, they were using this as a
Mr. Vlasic said they would use existing acreage costs, as developed by Zions Bank, of existing
parks, fields and trails.
Mr. Price said Zions Bank would be developing an impact fee facilities plan that would be an
additional process following the adoption of the plan.
Mrs. Lauret said she went through the same process when she worked in American Fork. A city
could be sued by developers if impact fees were inflated. She agreed that this plan should be
reviewed every five years.
Mr. Lentz moved to adopt the City of Orem Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Master
Plan and include it as Appendix G of the Orem City General Plan. Mr. Sumner seconded the
motion. Those voting aye: Debby Lauret, Sam Lentz, Tom Macdonald, Mark Seastrand, David
Spencer, and Brent Sumner. Those voting nay: Richard F. Brunst. The motion passed 6-to-1.
6:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING -Business License Text Amendment
ORDINANCE - Amending Sections 12-3-5, 12-3-6(C) and 12-3-6(D) of the Orem City
Code pertaining to License and Business Regulations
Mr. Bench presented a request from the Development Services Department that the City Council
amend Sections 12-3-5 of the Orem City Code pertaining to the duration of business licenses,
Section 12-3-6(C) pertaining to the proration of application fees, and Section 12-3-6(D) of the
Orem City Code pertaining to late penalties for delinquent business license fees.
Under the City's current business license ordinance, business licenses expired on December 31st
of each year. That meant the process of renewing all of the business licenses in the City occurred
during just a couple of months instead of being spread throughout the entire year. It resulted in
City Council Minutes - June 27, 2017 (p.9)
huge mailings of renewal notices being sent to all the businesses in the City and then very large
incoming mail processing when the payments were sent back in.
An additional problem that had been encountered with the expiration of all licenses on
December 31", pertained to the proration of business license application fees. The City prorated
application fees for business licenses so that a license issued in December of a given year would
pay an application fee that was approximately one-twelfth of the standard application fee. That
was inefficient because a prorated amount for applications received in the later months of a given
year was insufficient to cover the cost of processing the application.
Staff proposed to amend the business license ordinance to make business licenses valid for one
year from the date of issuance. That would spread the work of processing business license
renewals throughout the year instead of concentrating them all in a period of one or two months.
It would also eliminate the need to prorate application fees and would eliminate the inefficiency
that it caused.

business license renewals. When a business license renewal payment was more than thirty days
late, the City would charge the business a late penalty. The City Code was outdated and did not
reflect the correct calculation of late penalties for business license renewals. The request would
change the City Code to match the Adopted Fees and Charges.
same month. Mr. Bench said that was something they could determine in the first year. Mr. Earl
said he thought the current language gave the City the ability to do exactly what Mr. Seastrand
Mrs. Lauret said she thought the request was logical and reasonable.
Mr. Lentz asked Mr. Bench to explain how home occupation businesses would be impacted. Mr.
Bench said that any home business that had a significant impact on the neighborhood could still
be charged a fee. However, typical home businesses where clients were not coming and going
could not be charged a fee, according to the new State Law. Anyone who operated a home
business was still required to get a business license; the City was just limited in who they could
now charge.
Mr. Stephens read from State Code.
Mayor Brunst opened the public hearing. No one came forward, so he closed the public hearing.
Mrs. Lauret moved, by ordinance, to Section 12-3-5 of the Orem City Code pertaining to
business license duration, Section 12-3-6(C) pertaining to proration of application fees, and
Section 12-3-6(D) of the pertaining to business license late penalties. Mayor Brunst seconded
the motion. Those voting aye: Richard F. Brunst, Debby Lauret, Sam Lentz, Tom Macdonald,
Mark Seastrand, David Spencer, and Brent Sumner. The motion passed unanimously.
6:00 P.M. PUBLIC HEARING - Rezone - Delta V Industrial Park
City Council Minutes - June 27, 2017 (p.10)
ORDINANCE - Amending Section 22-5-3(A) and the zoning map of the City of Orem
by changing the zone on 3.75 acres at 1519 West 400 South from the C2 zone and R20
zone to the M1 zone
Mr. Bench presented a request from Bryant Christensen for the Council to amend Section 22-5-
3(A) and the zoning map of the City of Orem by changing the zone on 3.75 acres at 1519 West
400 South from the C2 zone and R20 zone to the M1 zone.
The subject property was located between two railroad tracks and was currently zoned C2 and
R20. The uses allowed by these zones were generally not suitable for the subject property. The
General Plan identified the parcel as a future light industrial use and designated the M1 zone as
an appropriate land use classification. Staff agreed that the property was most suitable for
manufacturing/industrial uses.
the subject property, but the property would need to be rezoned to M1 before that could take
place.
A neighborhood meeting was held with two adjacent business owners in attendance. Each
neighbor supported the request of the applicant.
Mayor Brunst asked if the railroad impacted the subject property. Mr. Bench said there was an
access close to the tracks and would be reviewed by UDOT.
Mark Warren, owner of the land, said there currently was nothing on the land. He had bought the
property ten years ago and thought the time had come for the land to be developed. At the
request of Mr. Macdonald, Mr. Warren described some of the adjoining property.
Mr. Seastrand asked if the lots to the east were also in the M1 zone. Mr. Bench said the lots in
question were zoned M2. He said the future plans for the area were to convert a lot of the M2
zoning to M1. Mr. Seastrand asked if the property still allowed some retail, and Mr. Bench
answered affirmatively.
Mr. Macdonald said the back part of the parcel probably would not be developed. Mr. Warren
said he did not know what would work back there, but they would do what they could.
Mayor Brunst opened the public hearing. No one came forward, so he closed the public hearing.
Mr. Seastrand moved, by ordinance, to amend Section 22-5-3(A) and the zoning map of the City
of Orem by changing the zone on 3.75 acres at 1519 West. 400 South from the C2 zone and
R20 zone to the M1 zone. Staff supports the recommendation of the Planning Commission. Mr.
Spencer seconded the motion. Those voting aye: Richard F. Brunst, Debby Lauret, Sam Lentz,
Tom Macdonald, Mark Seastrand, David Spencer, and Brent Sumner. The motion passed
unanimously.
