R2023-04-04 - Resolution Adopting the Station Area Plan for Farmington, Utah
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution R2023-04-04 adopting the Farmington Station Area Plan as presented and as recommended by the UTA Local Advisory Council
BACKGROUND:
The Farmington Frontrunner Station Area Plan was initiated by Farmington City, in collaboration with UTA, in 2020. Said plan was funded by the Transportation Land Use Connection (TLC) Program, facilitated by Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC). GSBS was selected as the project consultant through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process, also facilitated by WFRC.
This plan has officially been adopted by Farmington City on July 19, 2022 and certified by WFRC on October 27, 2022, to satisfy requirements codified in 2022 by HB462 Utah Housing Affordability Amendments. As required by state statute and UTA policy, it was also approved by the UTA Local Advisory Council on February 15, 2023 by resolution AR2023-02-02 with a recommendation for adoption by the Board of Trustees.
DISCUSSION:
The subject planning area is comprised of two sub areas: the Station Park area, and the North Station Area north of Park Lane, the total area being 550 acres.
It is recommended by the plan that the current UTA park & ride facilities be reduced from 853 to 264 structured parking stalls. Such a reduction will require further negotiations with UDOT, due to a reversionary clause contained in the respective deed.
State statute and UTA Board Policy 5.1 require that Station Area Plans be adopted by the UTA Board of Trustees prior to UTA’s involvement in implementing associated development.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Farmington City Council has approved the plan; WFRC has certified the plan to meet statutory requirements of HB462; and the UTA Local Advisory Council has approved the plan. Therefore, any modification will require further review, possible amendments, and additional approvals by those parties.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No immediate impact
