R2024-03-01 - Resolution Adopting Revised Board Policies
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution R2024-03-01 to adopt the revised Board Policies 5.1 - Transit Oriented Development and 5.2 - Real Property as presented.
BACKGROUND:
The Special Districts Act section 17B-1-301 and the Utah Public Transit District Act section 17B-2a-8 outlines the duties and powers of a large public transit district’s Board of Trustees. One of those duties includes developing and approving board policies, ordinances and bylaws after consultation with the Local Advisory Council.
The UTA Board of Trustees last updated Board Policies 5.1 and 5.2 in June 2019. These policies have been updated to reflect statutory changes and general practice.
DISCUSSION:
The agency is recommending the following updated policies be approved as presented:
• Board Policy 5.1 Transit Oriented Development (revised)
Proposed revision incorporates changes due to 2022 HB462 to the Station Area Planning process, adds Board approval of TOD design standards, adds Advisory Council approval of Master Plans prior to Board adoption, and adds requirements for conflict avoidance.
• Board Policy 5.2 Real Property (revised)
Proposed revision clarifies definition of Approved Capital Project to align with Board Policy 3.3 Capital Development, revises requirements for the classification of real property, and adds Advisory Council consultation for the acquisition, disposition or development of real property.
As required by statute, the proposed policy revisions were presented to the Local Advisory Council on February 21, 2024 for their consultation and feedback and no additional comments were provided. We are now presenting the proposed policy revisions to the Board of Trustees for final review and approval.
Note - the marked-up version of the proposed Board policy revisions was published in the Local Advisory Council’s meeting packet for February 21, 2024 and can be accessed at <www.rideuta.legistar.com>.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board may modify the proposed policy revisions prior to adoption.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
