Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: June 25, 2019
Title: Approval of Change Orders and Briefing on the 100 West Infrastructure
Improvements Project
Disposition: Discussion and possible action
Staff Presenter: Chuck Williams, City Engineer
Attachment(s):
-Attachment 1: Nelco Change Order Tabulation
Recommended Motion:
I move to approve the change orders for the 100 West Infrastructure
Improvements Project for Nelco Contractors Inc. in the amount of
$191,533.30 and for Bowen Collins and Associates in the amount of $17,908.
Background/Summary:
The adopted Sanitary Sewer Master Plan (Plan) evaluated the City’s sewer
collection system capacity to meet current and future sanitary sewer flows
and identified needed improvements.
The Plan determined that the 100 West sewer line between 100 South and
Walnut Lane is the #1 rated priority in the 10-year Capital Improvement Plan.
The Project:
o Abandoned 1,800-ft of undersized and failing sewer line
o Installed 1,800-ft of new 18-inch sewer with manholes
o Provided a new sewer line crossing of Mill Creek
o Reconstructed 100 South/100 West pavement from Main St. to
Walnut Lane
o Replaced old guard rail at 100 West curve with new handrail
o Installed a shared use path along the west side of 100 West from
the Mill Creek Parkway at 100 South to north of Maxine Ave.
Nelco Contractors Inc. was awarded the contract in the amount of
$2,396,296.05 and given a Notice to Proceed of September 10, 2018.
The project took longer to complete than originally anticipated due to:
A much colder and wetter than normal winter
The large amount of unknown underground utilities that were
encountered
The poor condition of the underground utilities that were encountered
that required unanticipated repair or replacement
As is normal for any underground construction project, change orders were
needed to address the conditions above. Change orders were negotiated and
reviewed by myself, our construction inspector and our consultant
construction contract administrator.
Some change orders requested by the contractor for what they perceived as
additional work were approved and some were not approved. Other change
orders were requested by the City. Only those change orders necessary to
complete the project or repair or replace failing City infrastructure were
approved by City staff in order to keep the project moving and get it
completed.
The total amount of the six approved change orders is $191,533.30. This
represents an increase of 8 % over the original contract price of
$2,396,296.05. The industry standard for large construction projects is from
10 to 20 % increase over contract price.
Due to the increased time to construct, more time was required of our
construction administrator Bowen, Collins & Associates in the amount of
$17,908. Their time included review, approval and preparing change orders as
well as additional progress meetings and site inspections.
Staff recommends approval of the change orders for Nelco Contractors and
Bowen, Collins & Associates as outlined above.

2019 meeting with corrections. Councilmember Jones seconded the motion. The motion passed
4-0 aye with Councilmembers Jones, Derasary, Knuteson-Boyd and Guzman-Newton voting
aye.
Mayor and Council Reports: (1:01 on audio recording)
Mayor Niehaus called for a moment of silence in honor of Memorial Day.
The Mayor and Council reported on their activities of the prior two weeks. Of particular note,
Mayor Niehaus announced a community survey regarding future planning for the Mill Creek
trailhead and Powerhouse neighborhood. She announced she was appointed to the Governor’s
water quality board. Councilmember Derasary brought up the recent open and public meetings
training she attended and referred to correspondence received regarding Rally on the Rocks, the
overnight accommodation moratorium and all-terrain vehicle curfews. Councilmember
Knuteson-Boyd gave an update on the Housing Authority and the Museum remodel.
Councilmember Guzman-Newton mentioned the success of the Chamber’s golf tournament and
noted a transit meeting to discuss train service. Councilmember Jones brought up regional
water conservation goals as presented during the Utah Water Conservation Summit and
announced the City’s Urban Design Legacy Award for Center Street improvements.
Administrative Report: City Manager Linares thanked staff for their work during the prior
busy weekend and updated Council on the search for a new Public Works Director. He spoke
about the upcoming Interim Legislative Session and possible impacts on Moab. He also updated
Council on recent activities regarding Powerhouse Lane, Transient Room Tax (TRT) audit,
Workforce Affordable Housing Ordinance (WAHO) and Zions Public Finance management plan.
Police Chief Edge reported on law enforcement activity over Memorial Day including
Powerhouse, Millcreek Drive and 500 West. He stated there were 70 traffic stops over the
weekend. Finance Director Stenta gave a process update on the budget. Planner Shepard
updated Council on the joint Planning Commission meeting and the moratorium work of
Landmark consultants. Similar ordinances in Durango were brought up. Shepard requested
feedback from Council.
Students of the Month: Mayor Niehaus announced the May Student of the Month Awards
for the Grand County Middle School to Eighth Grader Maggie Groene and Seventh Grader Leslie
Valencia.
Citizens To Be Heard: (1:41 on recording)
Theresa King thanked the City for its support of the Arts Festival.
Kirk DeFond spoke in protest of the recently-passed Planned Affordable Development (PAD)
ordinance in the R3 residential zone. He expressed his concern about a lack of transparency and
public process in the writing and passing of the PAD ordinance. He said that it should be
complete and well-understood by the Council and then be presented to the public with a proper
public hearing to follow. He noted a sense of confusion regarding its impact on the part of
Council and suggested the Mayor’s comment that developers were excited to employ the PAD
hastened a vote of the Council. DeFond cited almost unanimous opposition to the PAD at a
recent Town Hall meeting and stated he thought changing the density of existing neighborhoods
is a taking of right that is unfair and unnecessary in pursuing more affordable housing in the
Moab area and he cited ongoing projects to bring 300 new units to the County.
Barbara Hicks stated she attended the workshop on compensation for the Mayor and Council
Page 3 of 5 – May 28, 2019
and recommended the appointment of a committee of unbiased individuals to advise the City.
She concurred with more 20 miles-per-hour speed limit signs and painted crosswalks, and
urged negotiation regarding Planning Commission reimbursement. She stated a pay increase for
City Council was long overdue and noted that since there was no incremental pay increase over
the years there is a big overdue catch-up. She stated a pay increase is necessary because Moab is
dealing with big city issues and it is time to fairly compensate. She stated she applauds those
who do not want pay but she is looking to the next generation.
Sara Melnicoff spoke about recycling bins at the ball park and stated that residential recycle may
be working but the public bins are a huge failure. She stated she will volunteer to train City staff.
Deb Slechta asked the City to please not remove parallel parking from the Main Street retail
district.
Public Hearing: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG):
Mayor Niehaus opened the second public hearing for the 2019 Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Application Program at 8:01 PM. The purpose of the hearing was to allow all
citizens to provide input concerning the project that was awarded under the 2019 CDBG
Program. She explained that the City has amended its capital investment plan and decided to
apply for funds on behalf of the Americans With Disabilities (ADA) Accessibility Improvements
to Downtown Recreation Facilities Project. The application was successful in the regional rating
and ranking process and the ADA Accessibility Improvements to Downtown Recreation
Facilities Project is programmed to receive a $74,000 grant from CDBG. Assistant City Engineer
Mark Jolissaint will be project manager. This Project primarily involves construction of an
enclosed vertical wheelchair lift for the purpose of providing one ADA compliant access to the
three floor levels at the Center Street Gym. The structure is split level, with an entryway at
ground level, and all gym facilities located on the other two floor levels, which are currently only
accessible via several staircases. Construction of the lift will require removing existing concrete
and excavating a pit for lift access to the lower floor, and providing the necessary concrete walls
and slab in the new pit. Additional work could include touching up paint where it has been
damaged due to the proposed work, modifying existing handrails to close or open pedestrian
access routes as needed, and installing trim or other aesthetic treatments to further integrate the
new lift into the existing structure. Additionally, project will provide the Center Street Gym and
the Moab Arts and Recreation Center with ADA compliant, tactile signage with braille. There
were no citizens to be heard and Mayor Niehaus called for a motion to close the hearing.
Councilmember Jones moved to close the hearing. Councilmember Guzman-Newton seconded
the motion. The motion passed 4-0 aye with Councilmembers Jones, Derasary, Knuteson-Boyd
and Guzman-Newton voting aye. Mayor Niehaus closed the public hearing at 8:02 PM.

Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: June 25, 2019
Title: Approval of Proposed Resolution #34-2019 Amending the FY 2018-
2019 Annual Budget
Date Submitted: June 1, 2019
Staff Presenter: Rachel Stenta, Finance Director
Attachment(s): Proposed Resolution, Summary of Requested Changes
Options: Approve, deny, or modify.
Recommended Motion: I move to approve “Proposed Resolution #34-2019
Amending the FY 2018-2019 Annual Budget”
Background/Summary:
At the end of each budget year we find it necessary to open our budget to
accommodate any changes that have happened throughout the year. A
detailed summary of the changes is attached, and the current financial
statement is available for review on the shared Google Drive. My apologies, I
won’t be attending the public hearing – I will provide a more detailed
explanation here:
General Fund
We received a grant, mid-year, for the Victim Advocate program. This
was not included in our original budget and is budgeted for the next FY.
This includes the revenue and expenditures.
Due to the difference of the City being on a fiscal year and Grand County
being on a calendar year, we neglected to budget for the last payment to
the County for building inspection services. This reflects the last
contractual payment for building inspection services.
The solid waste collection fee structure has changed along with the
addition of recycling services. These are pass through revenues and
expenses, and we don’t have a complete estimate yet of the changes. I
have purposefully estimated high to be safe. I don’t anticipate the
changes will be this high, however if we don’t bring in the revenue, we
don’t pay it out to the contractor.
Our auction of surplus city property brought in more revenue than
expected.
Community Development Fund
The Housing Authority of Southeastern Utah applied for and was awarded
grant funds through the Community Development Block Grant program. We
are a pass-through funding agency – we receive the funds on behalf of HASU
and then disburse the funds to HASU. This corrects the budget to reflect this
year’s funding.
Health Insurance Fund
This is a new fund this fiscal year so that we can segregate our self funding
costs associated with our health and dental insurance along with all health
related benefit costs. The incoming revenue represents the amounts charged
to departments for this expense. The expenses shown in this fund are the
payments made to benefit providers for either premiums or actual claims. I
anticipate a transfer to fund balance at the end of this fiscal year.
Sewer Fund
To prepare the Water Reclamation Facility budget for this year, we received
estimates of operating costs from our contract engineer, Bowen Collins and
Associates. As these were just estimates and we haven’t had a full year to
operate the plant, we’ve had shortfalls in several areas. If you would like
more details on the operational processes represented here, please let our
City Manager know. We are able to cover these shortfalls with an increase in
revenue for both Sewer Service Charges as well as the portion of impact fee
collections that is allowed for operational usages.
Thank you and please let us know if you have any questions.

anticipate a transfer to fund balance at the end of this fiscal year.
Sewer Fund
To prepare the Water Reclamation Facility budget for this year, we received
estimates of operating costs from our contract engineer, Bowen Collins and
Associates. As these were just estimates and we haven’t had a full year to
operate the plant, we’ve had shortfalls in several areas. If you would like
more details on the operational processes represented here, please let our
City Manager know. We are able to cover these shortfalls with an increase in
revenue for both Sewer Service Charges as well as the portion of impact fee
collections that is allowed for operational usages.
Thank you and please let us know if you have any questions.

Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: June 25, 2019
Title: Proposed Ordinance #2019-12 - Adopting the Pay Plan Schedule and
Exempt and Elected Of icials Salaries
Date Submitted: June 17, 2019
Staff Presenter: Rachel Stenta, Finance Director
Attachment(s): Proposed Ordinance with attachments
Options: Approve, deny, or modify.
Recommended Motion: I move to approve “ Proposed Ordinance #2019-12 -
An Ordinance Adopting the City of Moab Pay Plan Schedule and Adopting the
Exempt and Elected Of icials Salaries for Fiscal Year 2019-2020”
Background/Summary:
First, my apologies for the error in the last City Council Packet concerning this
ordinance. The extraneous materials that I inadvertently included from last
Fiscal Year were my mistake. The correct ordinance and attachments were
included in the packet as well and posted on our website two weeks prior to
the public hearing; however, I apologize for any extra confusion that was
added to an already confusing subject.
Before you is an Ordinance that was revised based on the previous City
Council Meetings’ discussions. The Pay Plan for regular and exempt
employees remains unchanged with a 2% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA).
Here is a history and summary of what is proposed in this ordinance for
Elected Of icials pay:
●The City Council and Mayor historically received full health, dental and
vision insurance bene its, up to December 2014. At that time, the
current Mayor continued to be eligible for those bene its through the
end of his term (December 2017). City Council and Mayor have not
received these bene its nor been compensated for these bene its since
that time.
●A small raise ($200/month for City Council and $300/year for Mayor) to
Elected Of icial compensation was approved in 2015 after a signi icant
decrease in bene its (loss of insurance). The compensation for elected
of icials has otherwise remained unchanged for more than 22 years.
●This ordinance proposes paying the Mayor and City Council at their
current compensation rates plus a Cost of Living Increase of 2% for
July 1 to December 31, 2019 without health, dental and vision
insurance bene its for the irst six months of the iscal year. This was
derived as follows:
City Council Member (per individual)
1.Current Council Member Annual Salary $8,652
2.Plus 2% COLA $173
3.Annual Employer Costs
( FICA, Workers Comp, Long Term Disability )$796
4.Annual total $9,621
5.Prorated six months (7/1 to 12/31)$4,810
Mayor
1.Current Mayor Annual Salary $12,669
2.Plus 2% COLA $253
3.Annual Employer Costs
( FICA, Workers Comp, Long Term Disability, Retirement )$3,294
4.Annual total $16,216
5.Prorated six months (7/1 to 12/31)$8,108
●This ordinance proposes an increase to Mayor and City Council
compensation for the last six months of the iscal year to include their
current rates of pay with COLA as well as a compensation increase
equivalent to the cost of health, dental and vision bene its for service
from January 1 to June 30, 2020 . Each elected of icial would then
determine if they would like to use that compensation to participate in
City offered Health, Dental, and Vision insurance or any other equivalent
bene it programs. The compensation was derived as follows:
City Council Member (per individual)
1.Current Council Annual Salary (with COLA)$8,825
2.Cost of Health, Dental, Vision added to Salary $25,193
3.Annual Employer Costs
4.( FICA, Workers Comp, Long Term Disability )$796
5.Annual total $34,814
6.Prorated six months (1/1 to 06/30)$17,407
Mayor
1.Current Mayor Annual Salary (with COLA)$12,922
2.Cost of Health, Dental, Vision added to Salary $25,193
3.Annual Employer Costs
( FICA, Workers Comp, Long Term Disability, Retirement )$3,294
4.Annual total $41,409
5.Prorated six months (1/1 to 06/30)$20,705
Since the cost of the health, dental and vision insurance is added into the
salaries amounts, Council Members and the Mayor will choose an option
with the Human Resource Department to elect bene its based on all of
the available options. Those elected (or non-elected) options are
protected under HIPPA and do not need to be decided individually as
part of the approval of this Ordinance.
Please also note that the addition of the cost of health insurance to the
salaries will potentially increase the employer retirement costs for the
Mayor and City Council. All elected of icials have the opportunity to
participate or opt-out of the retirement program. My suggestion is since
this proposed increase goes into effect half way through the iscal year,
that we accommodate any increases (based on which of icials opt to
participate) through an internal adjustment in the executive budget
rather than increasing the overall budget.
●The proposed Ordinance includes an increase for Planning Commission
Members from $50 per meeting to $75 per meeting as allowed by state
code. This increase can be accommodated in the adopted budget
through an internal adjustment rather than an overall increase in the
budget.

Attachment 1: Planning Commission Workshop Outline
June 13, 2019
Goals for the meeting (what decisions/direction should come out of the meeting)
• Provide options for legalizing existing OA projects
➢ Business License requirement/fees and the difference between Zoning and
regulating the business aspect of OAs.
➢ Overlay zone with accompanying map to be applied at time of ordinance
adoption for existing nightly rentals (County approach)
➢ Allow existing OAs to continue is all zones – add language to each zone district
where OAs have been permitted uses. The language would state that there are
no new OAs permitted until and unless a future OA Overlay or modifications to
each zone is completed.
➢ Create a subzone of each zone where OAs have been permitted and map
properties where OAs exist as legal uses now.
• Review Draft Overlay language
➢ What are the minimum standards that should be adopted now, to be added to
later (probably before the overlay is applied in any specific location, other than
existing units)
➢ Discuss the overlay and legislative vs administrative decisions. Should only be 1
legislative step
• Moving Forward
➢ Next Steps
➢ Public Hearing scheduled before the Planning Commission on June 27, 2019
➢ City Council meeting on July 9, 2019
➢ Temporary Land Use Regulations expires on August 12, 2019

Summary of Planning Commission Meeting
June 13, 2019
Planning Commission Direction
We had a very productive work session with the Planning Commission on June 13,
2019. There was limited public input under citizens input and there were a handful of
people in the audience.
I have been thinking a lot about how to allow existing OAs to continue to be legal while
not allowing any new OAs at this time. My goal in developing these ideas is to:
• Keep it simple
• Not regulate land use through business licenses, but through zoning
The Planning Commission discussed several ideas relating to existing overnight
accommodations. The ideas discussed were:
Idea 1: No new OAs are permitted (new-builds or residential conversions). All existing
uses become legal non-conforming uses, subject to the non-conforming use provisions
Idea 2: Remove new OAs as a permitted use in all zones. Adopt an Existing OA Overlay
(much simpler than the overlay zone for new OAs) and apply it to all existing OAs
projects in the C-2, C-3, C-4, RC and SAR zones. Show the overlay on the Zoning Map.
In all other zones, existing OAs would be a non-conforming use. The overlay would
address the existing OA issue only.
Idea 3: Remove new OAs as a permitted use from all zones, and add new language in
the existing C-2, C-3, C-4, RC and SAR zones to include the allowance for existing OAs
to continue as legal uses.. A Map would identify the existing OAs use a map or
description of those areas within each existing zone.
Idea 4: Adopt an OA Overlay as generally outlined by Landmark and apply it only to the
existing units at this time (the approach the County Planning Commission
recommended to the County Council).
After some consideration and discussion, the Planning Commission favored the idea to
put language in the C-2, C-3, C-4, RC and SAR zone to allow the existing uses. They
felt that this would be the most transparent and simplest way to deal with the situation.
Their second choice would be for a new “Existing OA Overlay” that would identify those
properties.
We also discussed the draft language for future overlays for new OAs. They favored 3
overlays as originally discussed. The draft language is a great start, and the Planning
Commission looks forward to developing those overlay zones once the moratorium has
passed. They also discussed whether we want to create an overlay, or just change the
zone language to allow new OAs in each zone subject to the Development Standards.
They would not have to allow it in all zones at once but could address new OAs in each
zone.
The idea of including redevelopment incentives in the Downtown Area was also briefly
discussed.
Attachment 3 – Draft Outline of Code Changes
Overnight Accommodations
6.17.2019
C-1 17.20.020
• 17.20.020A C-1 Zone
Bed and Breakfast as a permitted use? Do we want to keep this section in this zone, or
do we want to delete it as a permitted use?
C-2 17.21.020
• 17.21.020 Permitted Uses
➢ Bed and Breakfast – leave it or delete it?
➢ Lodging – remove as a permitted use
➢ Add Existing Overnight Accommodations as a permitted use
➢ Add Language to 17.21.020A.17 Multifamily dwellings to specify that they cannot
be rented nightly
C-3 17.24.020
• Remove Lodging as a permitted use
• Add section on Existing OAs
C-4 17.27.020
• Add a provision to 17.027.20.9 to specify that MF dwellings cannot be nightly rentals
• Remove Lodging
• Add Section on Existing OAs
• 17.27.020A.27 RV parks or campground – remove as permitted use, add existing
campgrounds to the section on existing OAs
RC 17.31
• Remove Lodging as a permitted use
• RV/travel trailer park -???
• 17.31.020B – Remove Lodging maximum of 30,000 sq ft
• 17.31.050C – RV/Travel Trailer Parks standards – delete?
SAR – 17.32
This zone was created for resort type lodging. Nightly rental is a big part of what is envisioned in
this zone. How should we handle it?
MH/RV-1 17.35
Should be OK since the section already says that spaces cannot be rented for less than thirty
days
5.67 Nightly Rental Licenses
May want to add a section stating the Nightly Rental business licenses cannot be issued unless
they comply with zoning requirements.
New Language for Existing Overnight Accommodation Overlay Option
Existing OA Overlay Zone
• Add a new Overlay Zone to make Existing OAs legal.
Outline of new overlay zone:
17.37 (or 38, 30, 41, 42) Existing Overnight Accommodations Overlay
17.??.010 Objectives and characteristics
17.??.020 Existing Overnight Accommodations identified
17.??.030 Existing Overnight Accommodations considered legal in C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, RC and SAR
Zones
17.??.040 No Expansion
17.??.050 Repair and Replacement of Existing Overnight Accommodations
As an alternative to “Existing Overnight Accommodations Overlay,” the C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, RC
and SAR Zones would each to be amended to add language to allow existing OAs to continue
as referenced on an adopted map.

1) Purpose of Overlay Districts
Overlay Districts are established to provide standards that address unique circumstances or
conditions affecting single sites where the development of such sites is of special public
concern. They are established to provide for certain additional requirements for properties
located in one or more base zoning districts.
Upon approval, the overlay district replaces the previous base zoning. In addition to the
requirements of the underlying base zoning district, the provisions of the overlay district would
also prevail in the areas so zoned. In certain areas two or more overlay districts may apply. In
any such instance where there are conflicting provisions, the more stringent requirements shall
apply.
2) Purpose and Intent of the Moab North Gateway Overnight Accommodation (OA) Overlay
District
The Moab North Gateway Overnight Accommodation (OA) Overlay District designates the areas
where Overnight Accommodations (OA) may be permitted. While Overnight
accommodations are an important element of the existing community and local economy, an
imbalance between such uses and other desired community uses exists. In order to ensure that
future overnight accommodations are sited and developed to benefit the local community and
that other critical community uses are given a chance to establish, the Moab North Gateway
Overnight Accommodation (OA) Overlay District may be applied to entire developments or
portions of properties where the primary use is for Overnight Accommodation activities. In
addition to the primary use, all new overnight developments are expected to provide features
and systems that address the impacts and service needs generated by overnight
accommodation developments, provide other tangible community benefits, and incorporate a
mix of other uses that are deemed appropriate and compatible with the primary use, adjacent
land uses, nearby neighborhoods and the community as a whole.
3) Approval Procedures
A two-step planning and approval process is required as summarized in the following table:

• Typical Lot Dimensions. All lots of record shall be developed to meet established
standards.
• Typical Lot Configuration. All lots shall front a public streets unless otherwise
approved.
• Lot Shape. To create regular, rectangular lots, side property lines shall be
perpendicular to the vehicular right-of-way to the extent practical.
10 June 2019 DRAFT 2 10
5. Lot Configuration
Primary uses should face the fronting roadway and configured in a fashion that responds
to natural site conditions such as slope and topography. The intent is to respond to the
lay of the land and existing developments in the vicinity of the development.
Developments fronting US-191 should contribute to a unified continuum of individual
projects distributed along the highway.
6. Lot Access
US-191 is a State Highway, with traffic levels and vehicle speeds that present challenges
for direct access to projects and for creating a roadway environment that is not only
drivable but also safe to walk and bike along. Since existing development patterns are
dominated by primary buildings and associated uses sited well-away from the highway
with access provided by private access roadway, similar patterns are assumed.
7. General Open Space Requirements
The following are requirements for the provision of civic open space.
• Development of parcels over 5 acres are required to provide a minimum of 5% total
lot size as publicly-accessible civic open space. Developer shall work with City to
determine the appropriate location of proposed open spaces.
• For developments under 5 acres, impact fees and other funding will be used as
mechanisms to ensure adequate open space is provided in the district.
8. Streets and Access Roads
General Requirements.
• Address all modes of travel, including pedestrian traffic, bicycle, transit and vehicular
traffic.
• Address all features of the access road and public road right-of-way, including
sidewalks, traffic lanes, bicycle lanes and medians.
• Provide adequate access to all developments for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists
pedestrians.
• Create access roads to individual development properties that are appropriate for
their context and contribute to the formation of a mixed-use gateway district that
encourages travel at appropriate volumes and speeds.
• Create streets and access roads that reduce storm water runoff and improve the
quality of storm water runoff.
• Utilize street and private access standards defined by Moab Public Works.
9. Road Design Standards
Variations from applicable road design standards may be approved only when it can be
demonstrated that such exceptions will not be detrimental to public health, safety and
general welfare, and where private road maintenance is provided by the owner.
10 June 2019 DRAFT 2 11
10. Bicycle Facilities
The following types of bicycle accommodations should be provided as determined by
Moab Public Works:
• Cycle Track - a separate on-road bicycle facility that is typically adjacent to, but
physically separated from vehicular traffic and parking by a barrier. Inclusion of
bicycle tracks and other bicycle facility requirements to be determined by Moab
Public Works.
• Dedicated Bicycle Lane - striped lanes accommodating cycle traffic within the paved
road section. Required on all access roadways and primary entrances into specific
developments. Inclusion of dedicated bicycle lanes and other bicycle facility
requirements to be determined by Moab Public Works.
11. Storm Water Management
Incorporation of storm water management best practices, including Low-impact
Development (LID) techniques within the access road/ driveway / parking lots are
required. Examples include drainage swales, slotted curbs, sub-surface sumps and
French drains, and the use of permeable paving in roadways and parking areas.
Part 2 Mixed Use Requirements
1. General Conditions
All developments applying the Moab North Gateway Overnight Accommodation (OA)
Overlay District must provide a significant mix of residential, commercial, retail, office,
civic and similar uses to offset some of the impacts generated by overnight
accommodation projects.

1) Purpose of Overlay Districts
Overlay Districts are established to provide standards that address unique circumstances or
conditions affecting single sites where the development of such sites is of special public
concern. They are established to provide for certain additional requirements for properties
located in one or more base zoning districts.
Upon approval, the overlay district replaces the previous base zoning. In addition to the
requirements of the underlying base zoning district, the provisions of the overlay district would
also prevail in the areas so zoned. In certain areas two or more overlay districts may apply. In
any such instance where there are conflicting provisions, the more stringent requirements shall
apply.
2) Purpose and Intent of the Moab North Gateway Overnight Accommodation (OA) Overlay
District
The Downtown Moab Overnight Accommodation (OA) Overlay District designates the areas
where Overnight Accommodations (OA) may be permitted. While Overnight
accommodations are an important element of the existing community and local economy, an
imbalance between such uses and other desired community uses exists. In order to ensure that
future overnight accommodations are sited and developed to benefit the local community and
that other critical community uses are given a chance to establish, the Downtown Moab
Overnight Accommodation (OA) Overlay District may be applied to entire developments or
portions of properties where the primary use is for Overnight Accommodation activities. In
addition to the primary use, all new overnight developments are expected to provide features
and systems that address the impacts and service needs generated by overnight
accommodation developments, provide other tangible community benefits, and incorporate a
mix of other uses that are deemed appropriate and compatible with the primary use, adjacent
land uses, nearby neighborhoods and the community as a whole.
3) Approval Procedures
A two-step planning and approval process is required as summarized in the following table:

7) Development Standards
As detailed below, development standards are addressed according to seven specific
parts.
Part 1 General Requirements
1. Applicability
The following are general development standards applicable in the North Gateway
District. The general development requirements of the underlying zone shall apply
unless otherwise indicated.
2. Density and Heights
Maximum density and heights shall be no greater than that permitted in the underlying
zone district.
3. Affordable Housing
Required in accordance with the affordable housing requirements of the City.
4. Lots
• Typical Lot Dimensions. All lots of record shall be developed to meet established
standards.
• Typical Lot Configuration. All lots shall front a public streets unless otherwise
approved.
• Lot Shape. To create regular, rectangular lots, side property lines shall be
perpendicular to the vehicular right-of-way to the extent practical.
10 June 2019 DRAFT 2 27
• perpendicular to the vehicular right-of-way to the extent practical.
5. Lot Configuration
Primary uses should face the fronting roadway and configured in a fashion that responds
to the urban context, including natural site conditions such as slope and topography. The
design and layout of the lot should carefully incorporate new development in a manner
that fits with the established character and form of the downtown district. The result
should be a unified appearance that does not draw unwarranted attention to the
project. Pedestrian and cycling amenities such as sidewalks, trails, dedicated lands and
similar features should be located on fronting roadway(s), providing safe and easy access
and circulation opportunities for pedestrians and cyclists.
6. Lot Access
US-191 is a State Highway and also serves as the Main Street for downtown Moab. The
stop-and-go traffic, volume and speed of vehicles on this roadway presents challenges
for providing project access while also supporting a walkable downtown environment.
Since existing Main Street development patterns are dominated by an established street
wall formed by continuous rows of buildings with little or no setbacks in the city core,
vehicular access to new projects should be provided by small access roads and alleys to
the rear of Main Street, reinforcing established access patterns and helping to ensure
Main Street is preserved as a safe and comfortable pedestrian environment.
For all other areas in Downtown Moab where overnight accommodations are proposed,
vehicular access should be encouraged from rear alleys when possible, and only
permitted directly from the facing roadway when all other options have been exhausted.
7. General Open Space Requirements
The following are requirements for provision of civic open space.
• Development of parcels over 5 acres are required to provide a minimum of 5% total
lot size as publicly-accessible civic open space. Developer shall work with City to
determine the appropriate location of proposed open spaces.
• For developments under 5 acres, impact fees and other funding will be used as
mechanisms to ensure adequate open space is provided in the district.
8. Streets and Access Roads
General Requirements.
• Address all modes of travel, including pedestrian traffic, bicycle, transit and vehicular
traffic.
• Address all features of the access road and public road right-of-way, including
sidewalks, traffic lanes, bicycle lanes and medians.

THE CITY OF MOAB ORDINANCE 2019-20
A Municipal Corporation
AN ORDINANCE IMPOSING A TEMPORARY BAN ON THE DISCHARGE OF
FIREWORKS WITHIN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE CITY.
The following findings describe the intent and purpose of this ordinance:
a. Sections §15A-5-202.5 and §53-7-225 of the Utah Code provide that cities may prohibit the use
of ignition sources, including fireworks, in fire risk areas when climatic conditions present a risk of
fire.
b. The City has serious concerns of the safety and welfare of its residents and visitors.
c. Historically, the City has had problems with fireworks starting dangerous fires in overgrown
and riparian areas within the City, including areas near Pack Creek and Mill Creek. The City finds
these areas are particularly prone to fire.
d. Areas surrounding the City have imposed fire restrictions due to extremely dry conditions and
enhanced risk of fire. Fire restrictions are currently in place in the Manti-La Sal National Forest,
Bureau of Land Management lands, National Parks Service lands, and State of Utah lands in Grand
and San Juan Counties.
e. The City has determined that due to extreme dry conditions and the enhanced risk of fire, the
City needs to impose a temporary ban on discharge of all fireworks in certain areas, including some
City parks, parkways, and riparian areas, and to prohibit the possession, sale, or discharge of dangerous
fireworks in all areas.
f. The City has determined that the discharge of aerial and/or explosive fireworks would be
careless and negligent given the current conditions.
Therefore, the City of Moab enacts the following:
1. Purpose. The purpose of this ordinance is to enact a ban on the discharge of certain fireworks
throughout the entire limits of the City of Moab, except where indicated herein, and to ban the
discharge of other types of fireworks in areas that are particularly susceptible to fire, as authorized by

2. Definitions. Fireworks not allowed in City limits (Prohibited Fireworks) include those that fly,
explode (report), or travel more than six (6) feet off the ground. Prohibited Fireworks include those
identified or defined in U.C.A. §53-7-202(6)(a) as Class C dangerous explosives. Prohibited
Fireworks includes aerial shells, salutes, roman candles, flash shells, comets, mortars, firecrackers,
bottle rockets, aerial rockets (including those with fins or sticks for guidance), fireworks containing
500 grams or more of pyrotechnic material, and other similar explosives.
3. Ban on the Sale, Possession, or Discharge of Prohibited Fireworks. It is unlawful for any
person to possess, sell, or discharge any Prohibited Fireworks within the Moab City limits.
4. Discharge of all Fireworks prohibited in Certain Areas. It is unlawful to discharge any
fireworks over or within parkways, public trails, pedestrian paths, over or within two hundred feet of
Pack Creek or Mill Creek within the City limits as shown in the map attached as Exhibit 1, or over or

fireworks are allowed.
a. Additionally, it is unlawful to discharge any fireworks within twenty (20) feet of any
residence, building, structure or combustible material.
5. Retailers to Display Maps. All fireworks retailers shall display in a prominent location the
maps contained in this ordinance showing the locations where the discharge of fireworks is prohibited.
6. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon passage, regardless, of the
date of publication, and shall continue until repealed.
7. Enforcement. Any person violating this ordinance is guilty of an infraction, which may be
punishable by a fine of up to one thousand dollars ($1,000) per violation. Additionally, Prohibited
Fireworks are subject to seizure and destruction by law enforcement officials; the Moab Police
Department is authorized to carry out and enforce this ordinance.
