NOW THEREFORE, I conclude that conducting Moab City Council meetings with an anchor location that is physically accessible for members of the public to attend in person presents a substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present at the anchor location. This determination will expire 30 days after the day upon which I made the determination. It is possible that circumstances could warrant future determinations and so I may re-issue future written determinations at that time. SIGNED: Joette Langianese, Mayor Date ATTEST: Sommar Johnson, Recorder Moab City Council Agenda Item Meeting Date: February 22, 2022 Title: Water System Workshop Disposition: Discussion Only Staff Presenter: Chuck Williams, City Engineer Attachment(s): Attachment 1 – Signed Memorandum of Understanding to develop a Water Utility Resource Management Plan Attachment 2 – Water Utility Resource Management Plan Draft Scope of Work and Proposal Recommended Motion: NA Background/Summary: In this part of the workshop staff will talk about the City’s water system from a temporal perspective with emphasis on the present and near future. This approach demonstrates the consistent and incremental path that the City has been taking in managing the City’s water system and provides insight on next steps for the future. Staff will review water capital projects as well as discuss recent and next steps in water utility resource planning in the Moab-Spanish Valley. Staff will also provide an overview of several of the various water or watershed organizations in the area of Moab. There are 3 primary Public Water Systems in the Moab/Spanish Valley (Valley). They are: 1. City of Moab 2. Grand Water & Sewer Services Agency 3. San Juan Spanish Valley Special Services District These agencies have authorities and responsibilities as authorized by the Utah Safe Drinking Water Act (Title 19, Chapter 4 of the Utah Code) and other applicable statutes. Part of the Vision of the Utah Division of Drinking Water (DDW) is “to empower water systems to be more resilient, proactive, and with a greater financial and technical capacity; to be able to plan for and provide Utahns with access to safe and reliable drinking water now and into the future.” The planning effort being proposed within this document is consistent with this Vision. In the interest of being proactive in managing the water resource in the Valley under their purview, the 3 Primary Water Systems have formed a Spanish Valley Regional Water Management Coordination Group which is staff level and meets approximately monthly. The Coordination Group addresses many issues such as operations, cross connections, support if parts of one provider’s system fails, etc. The Working Group also proposed long range planning which resulted in development of a draft scope of work for a Water Utility Resource Management Plan for the entire Moab-Spanish Valley. The Plan proposal resulted in a signed Memorandum of Understanding by the managing or elected bodies of the 3 providers that creates a Coalition of the 3 providers to cost share funding of the Plan. The attached Draft Water Utility Resource Management Plan (Plan) is the result of discussions with the Working Group and Utah Division of Water Rights (UDWRi) over the last 6 months. This plan will assist these agencies in implementing policies intended to ensure resilient water resource management for residents, visitors, and businesses for the next 100 years. The Plan will be prepared by Hansen, Allen & Luce, one of the premier Water Resource firms in the state and a firm that is on our On-Call Professional Services list. Since the two Districts do not have land use authority that may be beneficial in implementing the Plan, Grand and San Juan County have also agreed to participate in the Plan process. The City has not only Primary Water System status but also has land use authority. The attached signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) provides for sharing of the costs for development of the Plan. The City has the money for the study budgeted as part of the 2021 Water Bond. The sharing of costs is based on a five-year average of culinary water use by the Coalition partners.

This growth has led to increasing water demand, which may be approaching the limits of existing water sources. This growth has affected areas of Grand and San Juan Counties containing the City of Moab (Moab), the Grand Water & Sewer Service Agency (GWSSA), the San Juan Spanish Valley Special Service District (SJVSSD) and the Moab Irrigation Company (MIC). These organizations recognize the need for coordination, consistent water policies and the possibility of sharing water resources. They are considering shared new source projects as a way to maximize individual resources. They desire to prepare and implement a water utility resource management plan. This plan will assist these agencies in implementing policies intended to ensure resilient water resource management for residents, visitors and businesses for the next 100 years. In support of this vision, Moab, GWSSA, SJVSSD and MIC are forming a coalition of water providers (Coalition) for the purpose of studying long-term water and policy planning. Hansen, Allen & Luce, Inc.(HAL) has been selected, along with its team members, to perform the study. Team members include Sunrise Engineering, Inc. to support GWSSA and Smith-Hartvigsen PLLC to provide legal guidance.

The multi-pronged approach described in this Water Conservation Plan is comprised of policies, infrastructure improvements, investment in technologies and incentive programs, outreach and education, coordinated resource management, and on-going research and data refinement. The ultimate goal is to better define and achieve conservation as a term and set of practices which become embedded in the community ethos and carry forward to a sustainable future. 6.2a Water Use Reduction Goal In 2000, Governor Levitt proclaimed a conservation goal of 25% in GPCD by 2050 using 2000 water use as the indexing year. The conservation proclamation was aimed at municipal and industrial (M&I) users, agriculture was intentionally omitted from the goal. A few years later Governor Herbert decreased the timeline and proclaimed a conservation goal of 25% by 2025 using the same year, 2000, as the indexing year. The goals were not intended to reduce the total demand for M&I water, they were established to make room for new growth because a fair number of regions were reaching the limit of their water resources. Since then, the Utah Legislature conducted a 2015 Legislative Audit, followed by a 2017 Follow-up Audit, then a Third-Party Review, and finally a 2017 Recommended State Water Strategy. Those efforts recommended the State develop regional water conservation goals. The Utah Division of Water Resources (UDWRi) was tasked with the project and developed the latest goals in their document Utah’s Regional M&I Water Conservation Goals. Grand County was put in the “Upper Colorado Region” which also includes Carbon, Emery and San Juan County. The draft recommendations were for the Upper Colorado Region to reduce their per-capita water consumption by another 17% and the final recommendations were for 20% reduction from average regional 2015 usage (333 GPCD) by 2030. The 20% reduction for the region resulted in a recommended goal of 267 GPCD.Moab is currently at 278 GPCD and has set a new goal of 230 GPCD by 2030. The table below shows the percent reduction from the year 2000 as per the original call from Governor Levitt, which Moab would meet with the 267 GPCD regional goal and exceed with a new goal of 230 GPCD. The City will assess progress towards this goal annually when data is reported to the Division of Water Rights. 6.2b Water Use Reduction Challenge Goals Additional conservation is possible, and desirable. After the City and its customers implement the easiest measures, education and outreach support from other stakeholders, cooperative efforts with regional water providers, supporting state legislation, and new funding sources becomes more important to meaningful adoption of other tools, and greater water conservation. In particular, State support is essential to successfully meet the State-set goals for our region. In recognition of this, the City will adopt stronger goals based on quantifiable State support, relative to the 2030 target date. The Moab water conservation goal of 250GPCD will decrease by 5 GPCD up to 230GPCD for each of the following actions: 1 1.State amendment of all relevant building codes to require WaterSense fixtures and EnergyStar washing machines and dishwashers 2.State amendment of all relevant residential building codes to require grey water pre-plumbing and associated landscaping 3.Consistent/ongoing funding from the State for approved conservation tool(s) including City actions, rebate programs, and planning efforts 4.Consistent/ongoing funding from the State for outreach and education efforts Table 7. Percent Change in GPCD from 2000 Year Population Total AF gallons per capita day % change from 2000 2000 4779 1926.63 359.9 0.0% 2015 5251 1657.96 281.9 21.7% 2020 5341 1667.31 278.7 22.6% 2030 N/A N/A 267 25.6% 2030*5906*1667*230*36% 6.3 Water Conservation Metric The State has determined the metric for conservation goals at GPCD, or gallons per capita per day. The metric is a reasonable measure if only measuring municipal use. However, adding commercial, industrial, and institutional uses into the metric is problematic because the people who are using that water may not be living in the area where the water is being used – namely, tourists. Trying to determine whether metrics represent conservation or a change in economy are not represented using the current measurements. The City of Moab has a tourism economy. There are over two million visitors per year, just to the National Parks, and more who never visit the parks. As such, the per capita metric does not include the numbers of visitors who use at least 16% of all commercial water, or 95AF, just on overnight accommodations. This does not include the amount of water used in other businesses catering to visitors such as restaurants and washing off highway vehicles. The City of Moab is interested in considering other metrics to determine their conservation goals. One which has potential is an Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). It is already used for a variety of requirements associated with water supply and could be a metric which allows a comparison between economies and water conservation strategies. 6.4 Current Conservation Measures Leak protection program / rebates 2 The leak protection program provides a rebate for the amount assumed to be lost due to a leak after the customer has fixed it. This is intended to provide an incentive for fixing leaks. New Water Treatment Facility The new Wastewater Treatment Facility uses only 20,000 gallons of water per month whereas the old one used two million gallons per month. This new facility has saved the City over 23.5 million gallons of water per year since it came online in 2017. Outreach, Education The City of Moab maintains a column in the Moab Happenings monthly newspaper and the monthly City Newsletter, e-mailed to those interested and those receiving e-bills for water service, devoted to issues of Sustainability. Water conservation is an important and frequent topic in these articles. In the past several years, the City has placed box ads in the two local weekly newspapers several times per year to educate readers about appropriate watering for outdoor landscaping and low-flow fixtures. 6.5 Current Conservation Ordinances and Standards The City of Moab does not currently have any ordinances or standards addressing water conservation directly. However, the WaterNOW Alliance just awarded the City a grant for technical assistance to develop three things: 1) a greywater ordinance, 2) a landscaping ordinance, and 3) new development standards, which will be completed in early 2022. The City is looking forward to working with WaterNOW Alliance as well as Utah State University Extension experts to get smart, relevant, and up-to-date ordinances adopted as soon as possible. The City is also working on an Emergency Drought Management Plan. 6.6 New Conservation Measures for the Next Five Years 6.6.1 Planning Efforts The City of Moab is spearheading an effort to bring all the water providers in the valley together to create a consensus-based Water Resource Management Plan. This group is called the Moab Spanish Valley Water Providers Coalition and consists of the City of Moab, Grand Water and Sewer Service Agency, San Juan Special Service District, and the Moab Irrigation Company. Grand County administration may or may not be part of this group. The state engineer ’s office has indicated that they do not believe a state-sanctioned Groundwater Management Plan is in order at this time, and that the valley aquifers have a few thousand-acre feet yet to be developed. However, the water providers in the valley disagree, and are interested in avoiding a crisis situation by undergoing a planning process prior to potential shortages. Undertaken now, this process will allow for community voices to be heard, experts to be consulted, and the best available science to be included – underpinned by the precautionary principle and a desire to create a sustainable water supply for all current and future residents. The first meeting of this new coalition occurred at the end of July, 2021, with the intention to meet at least monthly until the process is complete. At this point, the group will evaluate their options and intentions moving forward and recommend policies. 3 6.6.2 Ordinances and Policies When water saved via the easiest conservation measures is simply reallocated to accommodate increasing population growth, it can make it difficult to achieve further cuts during a future decrease in supply - whether that decrease is a temporary drought emergency or a longer term impact to supply. If, for instance, climate change reduces available water more than predicted, or, further investigations into aquifer supply reveal that we are already over-drawing, then the impact of additional demand would be much greater than anticipated, and have unwelcome consequences. Therefore, it is crucial to keep in mind that conservation should not simply be reallocation of saved water, but also include building excess capacity into the system now for resiliency in an uncertain future. A thoughtful Drought Emergency Plan is also a critical component of a sustainable water conservation program. The City intends to continue to support efforts to refine information about our supply, and to be conscientious conservers - keeping an awareness of the pitfalls of demand hardening* and the benefits of maintaining excess capacity in building long term system resilience.” *Demand hardening is the reduction in the ability to achieve further water reductions after the relatively easy and inexpensive water reductions have been implemented (Howe and Goemans 2007) A. Landscaping Code Amendments The City’s Water Conservation and Drought Management Advisory Board, which was formed as a result of the 2016 Water Conservation Plan, recommends developing landscaping code amendments which would have three main components. 1) Requiring new development to use waterwise landscaping and irrigation principles, limit or omit turfgrass, and include greywater systems (see below), 2) Instituting outdoor landscape watering rules for all customers during times of drought (see Drought Management Plan), and 3) Developing a recommended/required species list for any new development in Moab. This effort will be particularly helpful in conserving culinary water supply, which is currently being used as irrigation water on most properties in the City for lack of a secondary irrigation system. A key component to the success of the landscaping ordinance is outreach to current residents and businesses to encourage adoption of waterwise landscaping and irrigation and abandonment of unused turfgrass. City staff is working on opportunities to improve existing demonstration landscaping around City Hall, as well as removing turfgrass and installing waterwise landscaping in a prominent location. These demonstration areas will serve to encourage current residents to do the same in their own homes and will provide inspiration and education to current and future residents. These code amendments are planned for development in 2021 and adoption in 2022, and will consist of requirements for new developments and a best-practices guide for existing developments. B. Grey Water Residents began installing grey water systems as pilot projects with the Southeast Utah Health Department (SEUHD) a few years ago. The projects were successful and with the new information SEUHD collaborated with the Utah Division of Water Quality to re-write the rules associated with permitting grey water reuse in Utah. Since then, the SEUHD has permitted 4 several residential homes including affordable housing. The systems are relatively easy to install compared to most landscaping irrigation systems and inexpensive if installed during the building of a new home. The City plans to take advantage of the local expertise and the willingness of new homeowners to embrace these systems. Grey water use will make the City more resilient to drought and conserve water by reusing grey water to irrigate landscapes instead of sending it to the Wastewater Reclamation Facility and discharging it out of the area. It is estimated that new residences with lots less than 0.25 acres could save 50% of the water they would have used for outdoor irrigation. The City is developing code amendments that would require the indoor plumbing associated with grey water systems be installed during the construction or remodel of new single family and multi-resident housing, in conjunction with the associated landscaping component. The City is also looking to make the City ’s water portfolio more resilient by developing grey water code for new commercial developments. This would require new commercial buildings to install either grey water or rainwater catchment systems that would provide all the water required for the landscaping associated with the new development. C.New Development Standards In conjunction with the landscaping and greywater code amendments, the City will implement standards for new development that incorporate waterwise landscaping principles and water saving construction features. Landscaping will be required to be waterwise, using a recommended list of plants and features, limited areas of turfgrass and efficient irrigation. New construction will be required to use WaterSense labeled fixtures and appliances, and stub for greywater. D. Emergency Drought Management Plan The City intends to develop and adopt an Emergency Drought Management Plan to prepare for a situation of actual shortfall in water production. With thoughtful pre-planning, the City will be able to take the time needed for calculations, engage the public, and decide what measures make the most sense to conserve water when a drastic situation arrives. This may involve recommendations to install infrastructure for emergency shut-offs or secondary lines in all new construction so irrigation may be divorced from culinary uses. The City aims to adopt this plan within the next five years. 6.6.3 City Facilities Improvements There are opportunities to improve municipal water efficiency which the City intends to complete as funds become available, beyond the infrastructure improvements bonded for and contained within the Capital Improvements Plan (mentioned in Section 1). There are three main City parks that use water for irrigating turfgrass – Rotary Park, Swanny Park, and Old City Park. In addition, the City maintains the ballfields outside City Hall and various other smaller areas. Improvements to the system involve four things: 1) installing smart timers and moisture meters for more efficient watering 5 2) removing grass where it is not needed 3) evaluating and fixing old systems to water where needed and not where it’s not 4) replacing plants which have died and are still being irrigated, allow them to establish, and re-evaluate and reduce irrigation appropriately In addition, there are opportunities to install green infrastructure and improve stormwater management to facilitate more infiltration and less runoff, as well as contribute to a greener streetscape. As City drainage features are renewed or repaired, green infrastructure can be incorporated into new designs and implemented where possible. If funding becomes available, the City will be able to develop a green infrastructure plan for areas where projects would be possible. 6.6.4 Outreach and Education Successful water conservation in Moab will depend on both tangible and intangible elements. Efforts like replacing old fixtures and repairing leaks are opportunities to passively conserve water by updating systems. Behavior change is the intangible piece of the puzzle which will require a different approach. The City of Moab values the impact of education and outreach on water conservation and will be continuously working to develop a community spirit of water conservation without sacrificing quality of life or economic opportunities. Planned outreach efforts include articles in the local newspaper, the City Newsletter, and Moab Happenings, changing the design of the water bill to include conservation-oriented metrics, creating and distributing door hangers at properties with inefficient watering systems to offer consultation and resources, educational mailings with best practices and goals, and providing resources from local landscape designers, USU extension, and other knowledge holders to assist residents and businesses in their water conservation efforts. Keeping the community informed about progress towards our conservation goals is a key component of the outreach and education effort, and an essential piece of meeting our water conservation goals. 6.6.5 Programs If funding becomes available, the City can invest in programs to accelerate landscaping conversion and outdoor irrigation water savings. These may include the following: ●Turfgrass buy-back / rebate:providing cash payments or rebates for property owners to replace lawn with water wise landscaping (this is a common program to encourage lawn conversion) ●Conservation rebates: direct water-bill rebate rewards for meeting conservation goals on top of the tiered rates ●Smart timer and moisture meter incentives: providing smart technologies to assist property owners with efficient watering ●Penalty for failing to fix leaks: adopting a penalty in addition to the rebate for failing to fix a leak in a timely manner ●Incentives for functioning greywater systems: reduced sewer rates for homes with fully functioning and permitted greywater systems 6.7 Responsibility for Meeting Conservation Goals Chuck Williams, City Engineer:cwilliams@moabcity.org 6 Levi Jones, Public Works Director:ljones@moabcity.org Mila Dunbar-Irwin, Sustainability Director:sustainability@moabcity.org Carly Castle, Assistant City Manager:ccastle@moabcity.org City Council,council@moabcity.org **NOTE: all positions are subject to change in personnel; responsibility will remain with the position not the person.

This group recommended the formation of a coalition composed of water utility providers. The Moab / Spanish Valley Water Providers Coalition is the result of that recommendation, and has recently come into being via an MOU signed by the City of Moab, Grand Water and Sewer Service Agency, and San Juan County. This Coalition is tasked with developing the Water Resource Management Plan, and has not met yet as a body. Moab City Council Agenda Item Meeting Date: February 22, 2022 Title:Water Workshop - Past, Present, and Future Presenter:Lindsay Rogers and John Berggren, Western Resource Advocates Attachment(s):City of Moab Water Efficient Landscaping Standards Draft Recommendations Recommended Motion:N/A, Discussion Background/Summary:As part of the Water Conservation Plan (adopted Dec 2021), water-wise landscaping standards were contemplated as code requirements for all new development, and as recommendations and guidelines for existing developments. The Sustainability Department won $25,000 worth of technical support from WaterNOW to work on these recommendations, and have been working with WaterNOW and Western Resource Advocates for the past six months to develop the proposed standards, which will be presented today for discussion. These proposed standards were developed by researching similar requirements in other communities, learning from their mistakes and successes, and then many local expert interviews and consultations to further refine the ideas specifically for Moab and our unique local climate. This is the first time these recommendations have been presented, and they are here for discussion and direction to move forward. The Planning Commission will see the same presentation for discussion on Feb 24th. 1 MEMO: City of Moab Water Efficient Landscaping Standards Draft Recommendations TO: Moab City Council & Planning Commission FROM: Lindsay Rogers & John Berggren, Western Resource Advocates & Victoria Arling, WaterNow Alliance DATE: February 16, 2022 Executive Summary In August 2021, WaterNow Alliance (WaterNow) and Western Resource Advocates (WRA) launched a Project Accelerator with the City of Moab to provide pro-bono support in updating the City’s zoning code to include water wise landscaping and irrigation efficient standards. This memo presents 11 potential recommendations for updating Moab’s landscaping standards in the City’s zoning code that we feel would be reasonable for developers and landscapers to undertake and feasible for City staff to implement. These proposed recommendations would apply to some (or all) types of new development and redevelopment. The recommendations are based on research conducted by WaterNow and WRA on water wise landscaping standards implemented in 10 communities throughout the West. This research – which included a number of options for updating landscaping standards to prioritize water efficiency - was vetted through a variety of avenues, including a presentation and discussion with Moab’s Water Conservation & Drought Management Board, conversations with City staff, and interviews with key local stakeholders. Local stakeholders included: Jeffrey Adams with Terra Sophia; Eric Floor and Tara Stoner with EcoLogic; Kara Dohrenwend with Wildland Scapes; Roslynn Brain McCann with Utah State University Extension; Rikki Epperson with Community Rebuilds; and Orion Rogers with Southeast Utah Health Department. Stakeholders were asked to consider, in particular, any financial, capacity, material availability, or other barriers that could arise from a given recommendation. Based on this feedback, and additional research into other western community’s landscape regulations, these 11 potential recommendations were drafted. Each recommendation outlined below includes a justification (with stakeholder feedback), current City standards, recommended code update, supporting code language/examples of potential modifications, and any related supporting resources. In addition, there are 3 recommendations for educational or best management practices the City could pursue. The 11 recommendations include: 1. Living Plant Material: Require 25% living plant material at maturity in the landscaped area for all development types and require 50% living plant material in high-visibility, commercial development 2. Non-Living Permeable Groundcover: Allow up to 75% of landscaped area to be non-living, permeable materials (e.g., organic mulches, gravel, decorative pavement); for high visibility, commercial areas, allow up to 50% of landscaped areas to be non-living permeable groundcover. 3. Turf Limits: For all residential development, require that turf areas shall: (a) be limited to areas with suitable shade; (b) not be allowed in spaces narrower than 10 feet wide; (c) not be used in more than 10% of total landscaped area or a maximum of 200 square feet of turf; (d) not be 2 allowed on slopes greater than 33%; and HOAs may not mandate the installation of turf on residential properties. For commercial properties, retain current standards. 4. Plant List: All plant materials must be selected from the City’s approved Plant List, which is organized by non-irrigated/very low, low, medium and high water use plants. 5. WaterWise Plants Requirement: A minimum of 50% of living plant material must be selected from the non-irrigated/very low or low water use category of the City’s Approved Plant List. 6. Hydrozones: Plants are to be hydrozoned with plants of a similar hydrozone. Plants with a very low hydrozone are not to be planted in a moderate to high hydrozone. Irrigation shall be hydrozoned, grouping similar water demands by irrigation zone. 7. Landscape Water Budget: The total irrigation water need for all hydrozones cannot exceed a Maximum Applied Water Budget of 15 gallons/season/sq-ft (24in/season) of irrigated landscape area unless special features are included. Special features include: protected native vegetation areas, ecological restoration areas, bioretention areas, non-irrigated permeable areas, stormwater conveyance infrastructure, and graywater systems. 8. Mulch: Organic mulch must be applied at a depth of 4 inches, 1 cubic yard per 80 sq ft; inorganic mulch including gravel, river rock, and crushed rock must be applied at a depth of 2 inches. Because mulching can limit the successful propagation of some native plants, native plants are exempt from these mulching requirements. 9. Irrigation System Criteria: For commercial and large-scale developments: (a) smart irrigation controllers are required; (b) dedicated landscape water meters/submeters must be installed for all non-residential landscapes greater than 5,000 sq-ft; (c) the irrigation system must be designed to prevent runoff, low head drainage, overspray and other similar conditions; (d) minimum pop-up height for sprinklers in turf grass shall be 6 inches; (e) check valves or anti- drain valves are required on all sprinkler heads; (f) operating pressure at each emission device must be within the manufacturer’s recommended pressure range; (g) sprinklers within a zone must have matched precipitation rates; (h) a pressure regulation valve shall be installed and maintained by the consumers; (i) overhead irrigation shall not be permitted within 24 inches of any non-permeable surface. 10. Fire Wise Landscaping: For all developments in the wildland urban interface: Avoid fire prone plant materials and highly flammable mulches; plant widely-spaced, low growing, non-resinous shrubs 2-3 feet away from the house; if planting new trees, plant small maturing ones at least 15 feet away from structures. 11. Maintenance: All irrigation systems must be maintained including backflow assembly testing, leak repair, head adjustment, etc.; all replacement plants shall conform to the city’s plant list and landscaping standards; recommended turf mowing height is 3 ½ inches. It is important to note that this list of 11 potential recommendations is not intended to be adopted in whole; that is, this is a menu of options from which the City could select certain recommendations to explore. Most notably, there are two broad categories to consider when making those selections, driven primarily by the selection of a water budget allowance approach or not. If the #7: Water Budget Allowance approach is selected, that would impact which of the other recommendations are still applicable. A water budget approach would NOT include #5: Low Water Plant Requirements or #3: Turf Limits residential limitation of 10% or 200 square feet. If a water budget approach were not selected, those recommendations could still be considered. 3 Finally, Attachment A is a Landscape Water Budget Allowance Worksheet, which presents how the #7: Water Budget Allowance recommendation (Maximum Applied Water Budget of 15 gallons/season/sq-ft (24in/season) of irrigated landscape area) was developed. Draft Recommendations for Updating Landscape Standards 1. Living Plant Material a. Justification i. While requiring living plants doesn’t necessarily help reduce landscape water demand, a living plant material minimum standard can be important for landscaping aesthetics, reduced heat island effect, and pollinator habitat, among other benefits. Stakeholders expressed support for a living plant minimum, though they noted the example code language from other communities (50% or 75%) was likely too high for Moab’s desert landscaping aesthetic. b. Current Standards i. Residential: No living plant material requirement. At least seventy percent of the area contained within a required front or side yard adjacent to a street in any residential or residential-agricultural zone shall be landscaped. ii. Developments over 30,000 sq ft: At least 5% living plant material other than groundcover or natural vegetation; no more than 80% living ground cover. c. Recommended Code Update i. Require 25% minimum living plant material at maturity in the landscaped area including shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, groundcover plants, and turf grasses in all development types. ii. Require 50% minimum living plant material at maturity in the landscaped area for high-visibility, commercial areas including - but not limited to - street frontage landscapes, buffers, and parking lot perimeter landscapes. iii. Artificial trees, shrubs, plants, and artificial turf are prohibited. d. Supporting Code Language i. 50% minimum living materials including shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, groundcover plants, and turf grasses. (Aurora, CO) ii. For Street frontage landscapes, buffers, and parking lot perimeter landscapes – 75% of the area must be live vegetation. (Grand Junction, CO) 2. Non-living Permeable Groundcover a. Justification i. It’s important to strike a balance between non-living groundcover and living plant material. Allowing for a greater percentage of non-living ground cover could have the effect of reducing landscape water demand. Stakeholders were generally supportive of this recommendation and wanted to see the living and non-living percentages add up to 100% for clarity. b. Current Standards i. Residential: None 4 ii. Developments over 30,000 sq ft: Permeable non-living ground cover shall have a maximum coverage of 20%. c. Recommended Code Update i. For all development types except high visibility, commercial areas: Allow up to 75% of landscaped area to be non-living, permeable materials including river rock, crushed rock, organic mulches such as shredded bark, gravel, cobbles, walks, decorative pavement, or other non-living materials for all development types. ii. For high visibility, commercial areas: Allow up to 50% of landscaped areas to be non-living permeable groundcover. d. Supporting Code Language i. Allows up to 50% non-living materials including river rock, crushed rock, organic mulches such as shredded bark, gravel, cobbles, walks, decorative pavement, and artificial turf or other non-living materials. (Aurora, CO) ii. Allows up to 25 percent of the area required to be landscaped may be covered with mulch, pavers, decorative concrete (Thornton, CO) 3. Turf Limits a. Justification i. High water use, non-essential turf limitations are potentially the most important standard we can implement to reduce landscape water demand. Given Moab’s desert climate, the irrigation demands for turf are significant, so any reductions in the amount of new turf being installed will have large water savings. Currently, there are no limits on turf for residential development. Some form of turf limits were strongly supported by all stakeholders interviewed for this project. b. Current Standards i. Residential: None ii. Developments over 30,000 sq ft: ● Turf areas shall be limited to areas with suitable shade and shall not be allowed in spaces narrower than ten feet wide. ● Turf shall not be used in more than ten percent of total landscape area, and should be located in places where people will use it. ● Areas with a slope greater than thirty-three percent shall be landscaped with deep rooting, water conserving plants for erosion control and soil stabilization. (Ch. 17.80.070) c. Recommended Code Update i. Retain existing standards for large developments ii. For all residential development, adopt the standards below: ● Turf areas shall be limited to areas with suitable shade from buildings or trees and shrubs at maturity. ● Shall not be allowed in spaces narrower than ten feet wide. 5 ● Shall not be used in more than 10% of total landscaped area or a maximum of 200 square feet of turf, whichever is greater. (Note: this requirement could be removed if water budget approach is adopted) ● Turf is not allowed on slopes greater than 33%. ● Homeowners Associations may not mandate the installation of turf on residential properties. d. Supporting Code Language i. Lawn or turf area shall not exceed 10 percent of the overall landscape area of a project site (Sedona, AZ) ii. The installation of new turf in residential front yards is prohibited; Turf is not an allowable plant material within public or private common open space unless it meets the definition of “usable”. (For example, they’re defined as non-usable as medians, streetscapes, parking lots, entryways, and perimeter landscaping). (Henderson, NV) iii. Turf is not allowed on slopes greater than 25% when oriented towards hardscape (Sacramento, CA) iv. Any HOA governing documents… are void and unenforceable if they: Require the use of turf in landscape areas less than 8 feet wide or require turf in other areas that exceed 35% of the landscaped area; or prohibit the use of water- conserving plants as a group. (Jordan Valley WCD, UT) e. Supporting Resources i. Utah State University Cooperative Extension “Water-Wise Landscaping: Practical Turfgrass Areas” ii. Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, Flip Your Strip-Park Strip Designs 4. Plant List a. Justification i. There is an increasingly critical need to conserve water in the arid west, provide habitat for local animals within the urban environment, and create a more sustainable landscape system through the use of adapted plant materials. A plant list can be used to address these environmental concerns by encouraging or requiring certain low water, native plant species and to categorize plant species by their water use. The stakeholders interviewed expressed general interest and support of the City of Moab developing and maintaining a comprehensive plant list, as it would include plants appropriate to Moab’s unique climate and would give landscapers the flexibility to select a variety of plants based on what is available in the list. b. Current Standards i. Residential: None ii. Large Scale Developments over 30,000 sq ft: None. iii. RC Resort Commercial Zone: Screening Plant List: Plants used to satisfy any required screening standards shall be limited plants with a mature height of between six and fifteen feet and foliage. For reference to appropriate plants and 6 trees see the publication Urban & Community Forest: A Guide for interior Western United States, Department of Agriculture, 1990. (Ch. 17.31.050) c. Recommended Code Update i. For All Development Types: All plant material must be selected from the City’s Approved Plant List. The plant list is categorized by non-irrigated/very-low, low, medium, and high water use plants. ii. Installation of plants that are not on the approved list must be pre-approved by the City and are up to the discretion of the Planning Director. iii. Pursuant to the Utah Noxious Weed Act, Section 7, no plants shall be planted from the Grand County Noxious Weeds List (Available here: https://www.grandcountyutah.net/168/Noxious-Weeds) iv. Note: The City could either adopt and maintain its own plant list or borrow from other communities or potentially a state-maintained list. d. Examples of Potential Modifications i. The required plant list features plants that are considered water-wise or low water use plants, unless listed as riparian; includes three categories: native, adaptive, and riparian plants. (Sedona, AZ) ii. Plant material must be selected from Town’s approved plant list; plant materials meet or exceed the plant quality and species standards of the American Standard for Nursery Stock. (Castle Rock, CO) e. Supporting Resources i. Native Plants for the Intermountain West: https://cwelwnp.usu.edu/westernnativeplants/index.php ii.

Water Wise Plants Requirements a. Justification i. Water wise and native plants typically have significantly lower water demand than turfgrass and other high water use plants. There are also many associated benefits to using water wise and native plants such as providing pollinator habitat, being fire resistant, being lower maintenance, and providing functional, attractive landscapes. Stakeholders interviewed generally agree that landscaping code updates should include requirements for water wise plants and not native plants. It would be disadvantageous to require a standard for native plants as many plants native to Moab (i.e., cottonwood trees) are not low 7 water use. Additionally, there are many non-native, low water use plants that are well suited to Moab’s climate that would otherwise be restricted in this native plant requirement. b. Current Standards i. Residential: None ii. Large Scale Developments over 30,000 sqft: Plant Materials and Landscape Design Standards. 1. Plants selected for landscape areas shall consist of plants that are well suited to the microclimate and soil conditions at the project site. (Ch 17.80.070) iii. RC Resort Commercial Zone: i. Use of locally appropriate shrubs, trees and grasses or plants with low-water demand characteristics is encouraged, but not required, in all cases in order to minimize the consumption of water. (Ch 17.31.050) c. Recommended Code Update i. For All Development Types: A minimum of 50% of living plant material must be selected from the non-irrigated/very low or low water use category of the City’s Approved Plant List. ii. Remove RC Resort language above from code as it would be contradictory to the recommended code update. d. Supporting Code Language i. Adopt current standards for all development types in WUI ii. A minimum of 50 percent of the plants on a development site shall be native species identified in the Administrative Manual (Sedona, AZ) iii. Minimum three tree varieties and five shrub varieties shall be provided for each project selected from the plant list. (Henderson, NV) iv. Water-wise landscaping is required on all development, private or public, in recognition of our semi-arid climate and limited amount of water available for outdoor uses. (Thornton, CO) 6. Hydrozones a. Justification i. Hydrozones allow for proper, efficient irrigation. Hydrozones means grouping plants in the landscape according to categories based on their water usage (ex. non-irrigated, water-conserving, and non-water conserving); and these plants are served by a valve or set of valves with the same irrigation schedule. Stakeholders interviewed were generally interested and supportive of integrating hydrozone standards into the landscape code in conjunction with the water budget approach and plant list. Local nurseries in Moab already categorize plants by very low, low, medium, and high water use and which complements this code requirement. b. Current Standards i. Residential: None 8 ii. Large Developments Over 30,000 sqft: Plant Materials and Landscape Design Standards. Plants with similar water needs shall be grouped together as much as possible. (Ch 17.80.070) c. Recommended Code Update i. For All Development Types: Plants are to be hydrozoned with plants of a similar hydrozone (for example, low with low; very low with very low). Plants with a very low hydrozone are not to be planted in a moderate to high hydrozone. ii. Irrigation shall be hydrozoned, grouping similar water demands by irrigation zone. d. Supporting Code Language i. Plants are to be hydrozoned with plants of a similar hydrozone (for example, low with low; very low with very low). Plants of a very low hydrozone are not to be planted in a moderate to high hydrozone. (Castle Rock, CO) ii. All non-single-family landscapes must be divided into water conserving (non- turf), non-water conserving (turf), and non-irrigated areas (e.g., pavement). A separate hydrozone plan is required for submittal with the landscape plan. (Aurora, CO) iii. Each valve shall irrigate a landscape with similar site, slope and soil conditions and plant materials with similar watering needs. Turf and non-turf areas shall be irrigated on separate valves. Drip emitters and sprinklers shall be placed on separate valves. (JVWCD, UT) e. Supporting Resources i. Definitions: ● Hydrozone: A group of plants with the same water use classification and microclimate assigned to a single irrigation valve. Plants should be grouped and planted in separate hydrozones due to factors such as: Plant water use classification; root depth; microclimate (sun, shade, wind, heat); slope and elevation; soil type; irrigation emission devices with different application rates; summer-dry adapted plants should be on a different hydrozone to those that require more summer moisture (QWEL Reference Manual). Hydrozone example / design template Qualified Water Efficient Landscaper Reference Manual) 9 7. Landscape Water Budget a. Justification: i. A landscape water budget limits the overall amount of water that can be applied to a given landscape during the irrigation season. Stakeholders have been overwhelmingly supportive of this recommendation as a way to reduce landscape water demand while allowing for flexibility in what can be installed in the landscape. b. Current Standards: None c. Recommended Code Update i. All irrigated landscaped areas must be included in the water budget calculation. See Appendix for details regarding the Maximum Applied Water Budget calculation. ii. The total irrigation water need for all hydrozones cannot exceed a Maximum Applied Water Budget of 15 gallons/season/sq-ft (24in/season) of irrigated landscape area unless special features are included. iii. Special features include: ● Non-irrigated protected native vegetation areas ● Ecological restoration projects ● Bioretention areas ● Non-irrigated permeable areas ● Stormwater conveyance infrastructure (vegetated swales) ● Graywater applied to the landscape (% based on % living plant material primarily watered with graywater) iv. If any combination of the special feature areas totals to at least 5% of the total irrigated hydrozone area, then the Maximum Applied Water Budget increases to 16 gallons/season/sq-ft. If any combination of the special feature areas totals to at least 10% of the total irrigated hydrozone area, then the Maximum Applied Water Budget increases to 17 gallons/season/sqft. v. Active rainwater catchment systems, including rain barrels or cisterns, are also incentivized in the calculation through a reduced overall irrigation water need. d. Examples of Potential Modifications i. Require all proposals to calculate water demand of all landscapable areas according to a water usage table; no water budget limit (Aurora, CO) ii. Require water budget calculations that include an estimated total water use that does not exceed the calculation for the site’s maximum applied water allowance (Sacramento, CA) iii. The total irrigation water need for all hydrozones cannot exceed a Maximum Applied Water Budget of 7.5 gallons/season/sq-ft of irrigated landscape area unless special features are included (e.g. green stormwater infrastructure, graywater) (Aspen, CO) e.

Mulch a. Justification: i. Proper mulching provides many benefits to landscapes, including reducing soil evaporation and moisture loss, moderating soil temperatures, providing weed control, and improving landscape aesthetics. Some of the stakeholders interviewed expressed concern about the availability of organic mulch in Moab, but also noted that any requirements would create market demand. One stakeholder described organic mulch from arborists as relatively easy to acquire. b. Current standards: None c. Recommended Code Update i. For all development types, require organic mulch be applied at a depth of 4 inches, 1 cubic yard per 80 sq ft; inorganic mulch including gravel, river rock, and crushed rock must be applied at a depth of 2 inches. ii. Because mulching can limit the successful propagation of some native plants, it is recommended that native plants be exempt from these mulching requirements. d. Examples of Potential Modifications i. Rock mulch shall be installed and maintained at a minimum depth of 2 inches and a maximum depth of 4 inches on all planted areas except where groundcover plants are fully established. (Henderson, NV) ii. Organic mulch applied at depth of 4 inches, 1 cubic yard per 80 sq ft; inorganic mulch applied at a depth of 2 inches. (Castle Rock, CO) e. Supporting Resources i. Utah State University Cooperative Extension, Using Mulches in Utah Landscapes and Gardens ii. Utah State University Cooperative Extension, Water-Wise Landscaping: Mulch 9. Irrigation System Criteria a. Justification i. Irrigation system design and installation is critical because even the most water wise landscaping won’t save water if it’s not being irrigated efficiently and effectively. For example, MP rotator nozzle heads are significantly more efficient in applying water to the landscape compared to more traditional spray nozzles, especially in windy areas like Moab. The stakeholders interviewed expressed interest in irrigation system criteria requirements, but were concerned about having requirements for residential properties. b. Current standards: i. Residential: None ii. Large developments over 30,000 sq-ft: ● A detailed irrigation plan shall be drawn to the same scale as the landscape plan and shall contain the following information: 11 a. Layout of irrigation system and summary legend outlining the type and size of all components of the system, including manufacture name and model number with approved equals; and b. Flow rate in gallons per minute and design operating pressure in pounds per square inch for each valve and precipitation rate in inches per hour for each valve with sprinklers. (Ch. 17.80.070) iii. RC Resort Commercial Zone: ● Irrigation. All required landscaped areas shall include a permanent, underground irrigation system as defined herein to insure the long-term health and growth of the landscape. Where possible, irrigation systems shall utilize untreated, irrigation water instead of treated water. Irrigation system design shall take into consideration the xeriscape characteristics of plant materials used. (Ch. 17.31.050) iv. Recommended Code Update: ● For residential developments: All requirements below are recommendations. ● For commercial and large-scale developments: ● Smart irrigation controllers labeled by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense Program or with published reports posted on the Smart Water Application Technologies website are required. ● Dedicated landscape water meters/sub-meters shall be installed for all non-residential irrigated landscapes of 5,000 sq-ft or more. ● The irrigation system shall be designed to prevent runoff, low head drainage, overspray, or other similar conditions where irrigation water flows onto non-targeted areas, such as adjacent property, non-irrigated areas, hardscapes, roadways, or structures. ● Minimum pop-up height for sprinklers in turfgrass areas shall be six inches (6”). ● Check valves or anti-drain valves are required on all sprinkler heads. ● The irrigation system shall be designed to ensure that the operating pressure at each emission device is within the manufacturer’s recommended pressure range for optimal performance. ● Sprinklers within a zone shall have matched precipitation rates, unless otherwise directed by the manufacturer’s recommendations. Sprinkler spacing shall be designed to achieve the highest possible distribution uniformity using the manufacturer’s recommendations. Spacing must achieve head-to-head coverage. ● A pressure regulating valve shall be installed and maintained by the consumer if the static service pressure exceeds 80 pounds per square inch (psi). The pressure-regulating valve shall be located between the meter and the first point of water use, or first point of division in the pipe, and shall be set at the manufacturer's recommended pressure for the sprinklers. 12 ● Overhead irrigation shall not be permitted within 24 inches of any non- permeable surface. Allowable irrigation within the setback from non- permeable surfaces may include drip, drip line, or other low flow non- spray technology. The setback area may be planted or unplanted. The surfacing of the setback may be mulch, gravel, or other porous material. c. Examples of Potential Modifications i. An irrigation construction plan shall graphically depict, and describe through appropriate notes, an efficient irrigation design; each irrigation zone on the irrigation construction plan should be designed to water plants with similar water and environmental requirements. (Thornton, CO) ii. Specific requirements for irrigation systems including backflow prevention, pressure regulators, highest possible distribution uniformity, and not permitting overhead irrigation within 24 inches of non-permeable surfaces. (Sacramento, CA) iii. Landscaped areas shall be provided with a WaterSense labeled smart irrigation controller which automatically adjusts … in response to changing weather conditions. (JVWCD, UT) d. Supporting Resources i. Washington County Water Conservancy District, Installation and Maintenance ii. EPA WaterSense, Water Efficiency Management Guide: Landscaping and Irrigation iii. South Metro Water Supply Authority, Model Regional Water Efficient Landscape and Irrigation Ordinance 10. FireWise Landscaping Standards a. Justification: i. Wildfires present a serious and growing threat to Western communities, particularly properties at the interface between urban areas and natural open space. In conversation with stakeholder, it was recommended that Moab expand firewise landscape regulation for properties in the WUI. b. Current Standards: i. Residential: None ii. Developments over 30,000 sq ft: For projects located at the interface between urban areas and natural open space non-irrigated, highly drought tolerant plants shall be selected that will blend with the native vegetation and are fire resistant or retardant. Plants with low level fuel volume or high moisture content shall be emphasized. Plants which tend to accumulate excessive amounts of dead wood or debris shall be avoided. c. Recommended Code Update: i. Expand current large development standards to all development types at the interface between urban areas and natural open space. ii. For all development in the WUI: ● Avoid fire-prone plant materials and highly flammable mulches. See appendix for a recommended list of plants. 13 ● Plant widely-spaced, low-growing, non-resinous shrubs, 2-3 feet away from the house. Do not plant directly under windows, vents, or decks. Do not plant under tree crowns, or use shrubs to screen propane tanks or firewood piles. ● If planting new trees, plant small-maturing ones, at least 15 feet away from structures. d.

Utah State University Forestry Firewise Landscaping Guide: https://forestry.usu.edu/files/firewise-landscaping-updated-2018.pdf 11. Maintenance a. Justification: Effectively maintaining landscapes and irrigation systems is critical to plant health and water demand management. b. Current Standards: i. For residential developments: Required landscaped areas shall be maintained in a neat, clean, orderly and healthful condition. This is meant to include proper pruning, mowing lawns, weeding, removal of litter, fertilizing, replacement of dead plants and the regular watering of all plantings. (Prior code § 27-3-24(B)) ii. For commercial developments: Maintenance Requirements. Landscaped areas shall be reasonably maintained by the owner or the lessee of the property, including pruning, trimming, watering, and other requirements necessary to create an attractive appearance for the development. Lack of maintenance of required landscaping material shall constitute a violation of this code. c. Recommended Code Update: i. Include the replacement and maintenance of irrigation systems including backflow assembly testing, leak repair, head adjustment, etc. ii. Include language to specify that all replacement plants shall conform to the city's current plant list and landscaping standards. iii. Include a recommended turf mowing height of 3 ½ inches. d. Supporting Code Language i. Required maintenance shall include regular watering, pruning, mowing, fertilizing, clearing of debris and weeds, removal and replacement of dead plants and repair and replacement of irrigation systems and architectural features. (Sedona, AZ) ii. All replacement plants shall conform to the city's current landscaping standards. (Aurora, CO) iii. Maintenance requirements must be noted in landscape and irrigation plans. Irrigation system maintenance includes back flow assembly testing, leak repair, head adjustment, etc. Turf preferred mowing height is 3 ½ inches. (Castle Rock, CO) 14 Educational, Best Management Practice Opportunities 1. Soil Amendment a. Justification i. Incorporating compost and other soil amendments into a landscape has important benefits including: up to 20% water savings, improved plant growth and increased stormwater retention for the soil, pest suppression and reduced need for fertilizers. However, stakeholders agreed that a requirement for soil amendment – which can be difficult to come by in Moab – would present a financial burden and an enforcement challenge for the City at this time. b. Current standards: None c. Examples of Potential Modifications i. Min. 4 cubic yards of organic matter soil amendment required for turf, trees, shrubs, perennials and annuals; Soil amendment tilled to min. depth of 6 inches (Thornton, CO) ii. Develop exception for native seeds/plants to use 2 cubic yards per 1,000 square feet (based on research from City of Centennial, CO) 2. Graywater Reuse a. Justification: Graywater reduces potable water demand by reusing water from showerheads or washing machines or bathroom sinks in the landscape. While graywater systems have been incentivized through the water budget allowance, stakeholders shared that requirements for installing graywater stub-outs would likely be ineffective since most homeowners would not then install the full system and graywater stubouts are challenging from a regulatory perspective for Grand County Public Health. Fully installed graywater systems were considered potentially overly prescriptive as a mandate. b. Current standard: No requirements, graywater systems allowed in Grand County per state statute (R317) c. Examples of Potential Modifications i. Incentivize or require graywater in all/some types of new development: ● Graywater included in a landscape water budget allowance ● Graywater stub-out requirement ● Fully installed graywater system required ii. Landscape Standards Best Practices ● Soil characteristics ● Subsurface irrigation system design ● Mulch basin design 3. Rainwater Capture a. Justification: Rainwater can also be used to reduce potable water demand by capturing, holding and releasing collected water to the landscape. While active and passive rainwater capture is incentivized through the water budget, some stakeholders shared 15 that mandating rainwater capture could be financially burdensome and would potentially not make a significant difference given Moab’s arid climate. b. Current standards: No local standards, state statute (73-3-1.5) allows for rain catchment storage up to 2,500 gallons or up to 100 gallons without registering. c. Examples of Potential Modifications i. Incentivize and/or require passive or active rainwater harvesting ● Landscape water budget allowance ● Requiring specific forms of rainwater harvesting on some properties ii. Landscape Standards Best Practices ● Rain garden / bioswale design ● Rain barrel installation 16 ATTACHMENT A: Maximum Allowed Landscape Water Budget Effective Precipitation: Effective Precipitation (25 – 75% total rainfall) = 1.6 – 4.7 gal/sf/season o Precipitation during irrigation season = 6.27 in (Mar – Oct) ▪ Per Desert Research Institute1 Reference Evapotranspiration: • ETo = 57.38 inches/season (Mar – Oct) o Per AgriMet Castle Valley UT station2 Irrigated Area • Irrigated Area = hydrozone area in sq-ft Water Use Category Plant Factor3 High (including Cool Season Turf & Water Features) 0.8 Medium 0.5 Low 0.2 Very Low / Non-Irrigated 0 Irrigation Method Default Efficiency Overhead 70% Drip 90% Water Feature 75% Special Features to Incentivize Healthy Landscapes (% of irrigated landscape) Maximum Applied Water Budget (gal/sf/season) At least 15% +3 gal / sf / season At least 10% +2 gal / sf / season At least 5% + 1 gal / sf / season 1 Annual rainfall during irrigation season from Moab, Desert Research Institute https://wrcc.dri.edu/cgi- bin/cliMAIN.pl?ut5733); Effective precipitation ranges from 25 – 75% based on local climate factors. 2 Average tall reference ETo from 2015 – 2021; https://www.usbr.gov/pn/agrimet/etsummary.html?station=csvu&year=2021.

Consistent with provisions of the Utah Open and Public Meetings Act, Utah Code Annotated § 52-4-207(5)(a), City Council chambers served as a physical anchor location. Audio is archived at www.utah.gov/pmn and video is archived at www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmPaSpgHcoM. Attendance and Call to Order: Mayor Joette Langianese called the meeting to order at 6:04 p.m. Councilmembers Tawny Knuteson-Boyd, Rani Derasary, Kalen Jones, Jason Taylor and Luke Wojciechowski attended remotely. City staff participating included Acting City Manager Carly Castle, Finance Director and Acting Deputy Manager Ben Billingsley, Planning Administrator Cory Shurtleff, Parks, Recreation and Trails Director Annie McVay, Planning Administrator Cory Shurtleff, Engineer Chuck Williams, Assistant Engineer Mark Jolissaint and Recorder Sommar Johnson. Attorney Dani Cepernich also joined the meeting remotely. Amendment to Agenda—Approved Motion and Vote: Councilmember Derasary moved to amend the agenda to allow for a discussion with Attorney Cepernich prior to Citizens To Be Heard. Councilmember Jones seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0 aye with Councilmembers Jones, Derasary, Taylor, Wojciechowski and Knuteson-Boyd voting aye. Discussion Regarding Rezone Request and Development Agreement: Attorney Cepernich and Planning Administrator Shurtleff answered questions from Council about a rezone request and development agreement for a project proposed at approximately 398 Kane Creek Road. Councilmember Derasary asked about rules regarding active employment households. She also asked about proposed code revisions regarding active employment households in residential zones. Citizens To Be Heard: Judy Powers spoke about her concerns regarding perceived “spot zoning” for the proposed development at 398 Kane Creek Road. She stated the City is being held hostage and wanted clarification regarding a residency requirement for ownership. She implored Council to wait for the residential density and active employee household ordinance to be adopted. She recommended a much higher requirement for affordable housing units. She stated her concern that implementation would be difficult, nearby roads are not accommodating, and that it appears the City is being forced into approving the development. John Weisheit spoke about a 2007 study conducted by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) regarding the effects of climate change on the Colorado River Basin water supply. He stated the NAS was available to help urban governments solve future water situations. He offered his assistance to the City with regard to the impending water crisis. Mike Duncan spoke about the water utility resource management plan. He stated there is high local interest surrounding the topic. He spoke about the City’s ability to acquire surface water rights and briefly described various controversial studies and noted his impression that the local aquifer was currently at safe yield. He said the studies showing this current level of use are contested by the City’s engineer and the Regional Engineer for the Utah Division of Water Rights. Mr. Duncan stated it is the Council’s job to set policy, not staff. He expressed skepticism Page 2 of 7 January 25, 2022 about the outcomes expected of the water utility resource management plan. He said there is finite recharge every year and if he were in a position to make a decision, he would not approve this nebulous proposal. He stated it is not an engineering issue but is a hydrology problem. Written Comments: Lara Derasary submitted written comments, as follows: I have a number of questions regarding the requested rezone and sketch plan for 398 Kane Creek Blvd. 1) How would this parcel qualify for 161 units given a density allowance of 8-10 units per acre in the R-3. 2) What is the intent of the development agreement? The summary mentions that the R-3 requires affordability for a density allowance, but there is no mention of affordability in the Development Agreement. If the intent of the agreement is for the Active Employee Units to be affordable for local workers (which I think it should be), then I think affordability needs to be clearly defined and tied back to zoning in the development agreement. Density does not equal affordability as illustrated by the new town homes on 100 and 200 South. 3) Who will enforce local occupancy and covenants of the AEUs? Thank you for your consideration of my comments. Lisa Carter submitted written comments, as follows: Rezone RA-1 to R-3 request by Blue Bison Development Questions and Concerns: Does the development plan significantly affect or alter the adjoining properties or neighbors (esthetics, traffic, property values and taxes)? Is the area to be rezoned going to have only 161 units built on it or 174? I am assuming that roughly 1/3 or approximately 53 units (of the 161) would be for local workers as deed restricted rentals? Meanwhile the other 108 can be sold for market value of 400-635K(?) and be made up entirely of second homeowners who can rent them out for a minimum of 30 days? I guess it is better than zero “affordable” deed restricted units, but can the City get a better deal by requiring half of the units designated for local workers? What would be the cost benefit to the developer if that were the case? What is the cost/benefit with the proposed development agreement? Would the other one acre-parcels that remain in RA-1 be pressured/considered for an up zone at a later date and how would that affect the adjoining properties? Regarding the return of the Walnut Lane Bond: If the City returns the bond how easy will it be for them to acquire a new one when they come up with a bid package for the project? How much, if any, of the progress that was made on the Walnut Lane project can be used going forward (Site plans, infrastructure, etc.)? Interest rates will most likely be going up this year; how will that effect the project funding? Is the current bond amount ($6,500,000) enough to fund the initial phase of the project given inflation in almost all goods and services required for the project? Other funding sources to be explored? Is the City the only local government entity involved? Seems like the County as well as many other entities will benefit from what is to be “affordable” housing for local members of the work force? Public Hearing: Consideration of Location to Construct Pickleball Courts Presentation and Discussion: Mayor Langianese opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. It was explained the City has successfully applied for a grant for the construction of four pickleball courts and the next step in moving the project forward is site selection for the courts. Parks, Recreation and Trails Director McVay explained that, to assist in the site selection process, a committee of stakeholders had been convened. She said the committee brainstormed several locations and reviewed them against a set of criteria and grant stipulations and the committee recommended Old City Park. She said other sites considered included Swanny Park, the golf course, the high school and Sun Court. Councilmember Derasary asked about Sun Court and the ball fields and Councilmember Jones asked about the golf course site. McVay also explained the terms of the Utah Land and Water Conservation Fund grant of $80,000. Public Hearing: Rick Davidson stated pickleball is a diverse sport that has locally involved players aged 16 to 80 years old. He said Old City Park is not adjacent to the City limits but the sport is noisy and that Page 3 of 7 January 25, 2022 was a consideration of the selection committee. He said the site was perfect for the amount of money available for development. He said the high school tennis court location was good but is not owned by the City as required for the grant. Mr. Davidson stated pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America. He said it brings tourists and is a social sport. Written Comments: Cort Wright suggested Rotary Park. Wendy Newman suggested courts in the Spanish Trail Arena complex. Carter Lloyd wrote: I am a resident of Grand County and big fan of pickleball and would love to see the City add a few courts. This would be a great addition to the community. Mary Moran wrote: I live right above Old City Park, and only ask that if Old City Park is chosen as the pickleball court location, please leave the park dark at night. If there will be lighting installed for the courts, have them be motion-activated. I appreciate dark skies. Grand County has passed lighting ordinances. However, even within the ordinances, there is no need to have lighting that is on all night. Few people will use the courts after dark, so leave the park dark most of the time so as not to impact me and other neighbors, the nesting birds, and the wild ducks that join the few domestic ones in the pond. Thank you for considering dark night skies if this location is chosen. Mayor Langianese closed the public hearing at 7:16 p.m. New Business: Consideration of Location to Construct Pickleball Courts—Approved Motion: Councilmember Jones moved to direct staff to pursue construction of pickleball courts at Old City Park with federal grant funds.

Councilmember Derasary brought up written comments from the community.

Castle stated the MOU describes cost-sharing between the City, Grand Water and Sewer Services Agency (GWSSA) and San Juan County to pay for the studies staff has specified. Castle added she included a scope of work in the MOU. Engineer Williams stated he selected a consultant to do the work to provide existing data to consider potential future needs and conditions such as sewer projects, water infrastructure projects and stormwater projects and added this would be the first comprehensive evaluation of surface and groundwater resources in the Valley and would consider needs at 20, 50 and 100-year periods. He acknowledged comments made in Citizens To Be Heard and stated there are opportunities for the City to use a different source of water for irrigation needs, rather than using culinary water.

Jason Glidden, Housing Development Manager for Park City, presented information about master leases, public-private partnerships, and Park City’s efforts to implement affordable housing projects.

Councilmember Taylor asked about the bond that funded projects in Park City and parking considerations for affordable housing projects. The alternatives presented to Council were as follows: Alternative 1 would continue as planned with a design-bid-build process to develop Phase I internally, and also pursuing bids to develop Phases II and III internally; Alternative 2 would involve a public-private partnership to solicit a master developer for the entire project (Phases I, II, and III); and Alternative 3, which would entail a hybrid involving a design-bid-build approach to develop Phase I internally, and pursing a public-private partnership for Phases II and III.
