CALL TO ORDER:
OPENING CEREMONY:
Pledge of Allegiance Solemn Moment of Reflection Council Member Wurth
PRESENTATIONS:
1. PRESENTATION BY THE UTAH CHIEFS OF POLICE RECOGNIZING THE CLEARFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR ACHIEVING ITS ACCREDITATION BACKGROUND: For the past three and a half years, the Clearfield Police Department has been working to achieve the Utah Chiefs of Police Accreditation. Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven method for helping law enforcement agencies improve their overall performance. The foundation of accreditation lies in the adoption of standards that provide clear statements of professional objectives.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON AMENDMENTS TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2025 BUDGET BACKGROUND: Staff has identified expenditures necessary for City operations which were not included in its current budget. Rich Knapp, Finance Manager, has prepared the proposed amendments for the Fiscal Year 2025 budget. State law requires a public hearing before the City Council approves amendments to the City budget. RECOMMENDATION: Receive public comment.
2. PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON A ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT TO ADD COMMERCIAL STORAGE FACILITIES AS A CONDITIONAL USE IN THE M-1 (Manufacturing) ZONE AND TO ADD DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR COMMERCIAL STORAGE FACILITIES TO SECTION 11-13-20 OF THE CLEARFIELD CITY CODE BACKGROUND: The applicant would like to add “Commercial Storage Facilities” as a conditional use within the M-1 (Manufacturing) Zone with specific development standards to encourage high quality site and building design. Clearfield City Code currently has a specific section titled Commercial Storage Facilities which states that Commercial Storage Facilities are only allowed on properties which had such facilities prior to the effective date (January 25, 2002) of Ordinance No. 02-02. The proposed amendments would use Section 11-13-20 to list the required standards for development specific to Commercial Storage Facilities. RECOMMENDATION: Receive public comment.
3. PUBLIC HEARING TO RECEIVE PUBLIC COMMENT ON A ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT TO AMEND THE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT: EXPIRATION OF PERMIT STANDARDS OUTLINED IN SECTION 11-4-6 AND THE SITE PLAN REVIEW: EXPIRATION OF APPROVAL AND EXTENSION STANDARDS OUTLINED IN SECTION 11-5-7 OF THE CLEARFIELD CITY CODE BACKGROUND: Title 11 of the Clearfield City Code is also known as the Land Use Ordinance which includes the establishment of processes for site plan reviews and conditional use permits. With each administrative process there is the ability to request an extension of an approval to commence work or begin use. For each, a maximum extension timeframe of six (6) months is permitted based upon review of the detailed request for the extension. Site plan review extensions can be granted by the Planning and Zoning Administrator but conditional use permits require review by the Planning Commission with a public hearing. Based upon discussions with the Planning Commission, staff is proposing changes to align with Utah State Code and simplify the process for extension requests for both conditional use permits and site plan reviews. A draft of the proposed amendments is provided as an attachment to this report. RECOMMENDATION: Receive public comment.
SCHEDULED ITEMS:

A curbside green waste collection program would provide residents with a convenient and effective method to manage green waste while supporting the City’s environmental stewardship goals which are: reduce the volume of green waste sent to landfills, encourage maintainable waste disposal practices among residents, support local and regional composting and green waste recycling initiatives.
