PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO TITLE 14, SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, AMENDING ROADWAY CLASSIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS AND STREETLIGHT REQUIREMENTS

To review the proposed amendments

Approval of the amendments (9-0)

Ogden City Administration is proposing several amendments to the City’s Subdivision ordinance. The subdivision ordinance, Title 14 of the City code, provides standards for the subdivision of property, including the subdivision platting process, standards for required public improvement and the process for amendment or vacating subdivision plats. The amendments proposed would update the classifications and widths of different types to be consistent with the City’s engineering standards as well as the recently adopted Transportation Master Plan. The amendments also provide standards for new residential alleys and add streetlights as part of the required public improvements for subdivisions.

When developing property, there are several codes, standards and master plans that must be followed. These various codes and plans should be consistent in terminology and in technical specifications. The proposal amends only the subdivision ordinance but does so in order to be consistent with the City’s engineering standards and the Transportation Master Plan. These various codes and plans are described in more detail below.

Title 14 of the City’s code provides standards and regulations for the subdivision of property. Similar to the City’s zoning ordinance, Utah state code (§10-9a-602) requires the Planning Commission to review and provide a recommendation to the City’s legislative body on the adoption or amendment of a subdivision ordinance. The City’s subdivision ordinance outlines the process for subdividing land, provides standards for public improvements when subdividing land, and lays out the procedures for any subdivision plat amendment or street vacation.

Ogden City Council Work Session: August 25, 2020 1

In addition to the zoning ordinance and the subdivision ordinance, any person who wishes to subdivide and develop property must comply with any engineering standards adopted by the City for public improvements. The City’s engineering standards are developed by the City Engineer and adopted by executive order. The City’s current engineering standards (found here or on the Engineer’s webpage on the City’s website) were adopted on January 7, 2019. Among the regulations adopted in the standards are street widths for various street types. These standards were used in the development of the 2019 city-wide Transportation Master Plan.

In December 2019, the Council adopted a city-wide Transportation Master Plan. The plan provides background on different modes of transportation and provides recommendations for improvements throughout the City. The plan includes technical data based on industry standards and the City’s own technical specifications. As part of that, the plan uses the engineering standards adopted by the City to classify each of the City’s as one of the following in descending order from largest to smallest: interstate, other freeways, other principle arterial, minor arterial, major collector, minor collector, or local street.

The proposed amendments would align the street typologies and street widths within the subdivision ordinance with the engineering standards and the Transportation Master Plan. The current subdivision ordinance provides definitions and standards for “major street” and “minor street” rather than the equivalent “arterial street” and “local street” included in the engineering standards and Transportation Master Plan.

In addition to the updated standards for street typologies, the proposed amendments also introduce standards for new residential alleys. These standards would apply to new, private residential alleys and would not apply to existing alleys.

The last amendment included in the proposal would add the requirements for streetlights in new subdivisions. The proposal includes standards for when and where the streetlights would be required with new development.

Ogden City Council Work Session: August 25, 2020 2

The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal at its May 6, 2020 meeting and forwarded a recommendation of approval to the Council with a vote of 9-0. The recommendation was made based on the finding that the amendments are consistent with the General Plan and Transportation Master Plan and meets the needs for future growth and orderly development.

No public comment was received regarding this proposal.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff explained this project is to update the sections of the subdivision ordinance that deal with the required when property is subdivided. There have been different requirements in the Subdivision Ordinance, Engineering Standards and some fire code requirements This is to amend the documents so that there is consistency in the City requirements. Staff explained that the Transportation Master Plan approved last fall had identified the various street typologies and the

Ogden City Council Transmittal Page 1 of 4 terms used differ from the subdivision ordinance. The first amendments deal with calling the types of streets the same in the ordinance and the plan. A minor street will now be called a local street. Definitions were also added for collector streets and arterials. The next change is unifying the width standards. These revisions were based on not only what is needed to carry different types of but to also meet the needs of the underground utilities and their maintenance. Standards are developed for the local roads of when a 56 foot right of way is appropriate and when a 60 foot is required. These had not existed before. Provisions are still in place where variations from these standards can take place such as infill projects, but provisions are also included of when a wider right of way may be needed. Another revision is to allow the use of alleys for residential uses. Standards are established to allow the alleys as new types of development are using alleys for access to garages in the rear of lots and thus keeping the street clear of approaches and better utilization of the side. The final consideration is adding streetlight requirements as part of the subdivision process. While these standards had been in Engineer standards, adding them to the Subdivision ordinance gives better definition of what is expected.

Planning Staff's Recommended Action

Approval of the proposed amendments to the subdivision ordinance.

Description of request I

Last year the Commission approved the Transportation Master Plan. That approval created a need to make some changes to the Transportation element of the general plan. Those updates have led to the reevaluation of ordinance language which is the means of implementation of many of the objectives of the plans. The main goal of the ordinance amendment is to create consistency between the plan and the requirements. The general implementation of street installation is during the subdivision process and the subdivision ordinance should be consistent with the plans in order to give clear direction of proposed street and public improvements.

The first set of changes is in the definition section of the subdivision ordinance (7 4-7 -4) Presently there are definitions for collector streets, major streets and minor streets. The transportation plan identifies local streets, minor and major collectors and arterials. The change looks at using the same language of the master plan for streets in the ordinance. Minor streets now become local streets, the definition of collector streets is revised to be inclusive of minor and major collectors and major streets now becomes defined as arterial streets. The transportation master plan is also defined and street lighting as part of public improvement plan is added

The next set of changes takes place in 74-3 of the subdivision ordinance. These changes are made not only to be consistent with the master plan language but also the Engineering Standard Manual. There have been differing requirements between the subdivision ordinance and the engineering standards and the revisions to both documents now will bring them into alignment as well. During this review process the fire code was also used so that the road widths proposed will not conflict with that code either. One of the concerns during this review was to make sure that the right of way width is sufficient to deal with the utilities that are underground and the ability to maintain those utilities within the right of way width. References to the utilities and their sizes are part of the consideration of a local road being 56 foot right of way or 60 foot right of way. Another consideration is if parking is happening on one side of the road or both sides. These are outlined in the proposed 74-3-2.8.

Another change is the collector street width goes from 66 to 72 feet. Collector and arterial street designations are tied to the adopted transportation master plan.

Other proposed amendments include clarifications of the use and design of alleys. These will become more popular with different subdivision designs. Staff used the work done at the Stapelton redevelopment in Denver to see how these alley systems can be beneficial.

The revisions also discuss the ability in special designs such as in fill that variations may be considered from the standards with approvals from fire, engineering and planning.

The final major addition is adding a provision addressing streetlight installation as part of a subdivision (7 4-3-7A. 73) .

Factors for Consideration of Action

7. Consistency with plans The transportation general plan states as an objective," Develop a street system for Ogden that provides convenient access within the City and into adjoining communities and the larger region. Right of way design and access should be safe, attractive and reflect the intended use of the street (7 7. D. 7 7)"and "Develop a safe, functional and attractive transportation and circulation system (7 7.0. 73)". The proposed revisions focus on the right of way designs that look more at the function of the street and provide options that can reflect the intended use. At the same time, they would also be consistent in the various city documents. Two strategies from 7 7. D. 73 are also being included in the consideration of the amendments. They are, "Establishing a transportation system and streetscape design plan that establishes safe sight lines, integrates bus stops, shelters and street amenities" and "Balancing the fiscal impact of transportation and streetscape design development and maintenance requirements."

The considerations of when a 56 foot right of way or a 60 foot right of way is appropriate is based on the factors identified in the strategies. Clear standards are identified and special consideration of type of uses along the right of way and consideration of unique conditions is also provided for. The inclusion of the underground infrastructure is included because it can have a financial impact on maintenance.

2. Future growth Street layouts are important for any future growth. The ability to adapt based on specific conditions but have requirements of what is typically required is needed. The ordinance makes it possible for special variations to be considered while maintaining the balance of all the user needs of a street. The subdivision stage is the place that sets out the type of development that can take place. These revisions, along with other document changes, create a clear expectation rather than conflicting requirements which is important.

7. Proposed ordinance amendment language 74-7 and 74-3.

Functional classifications organize roadways into categories based on two primary characteristics: mobility and access. Roads that primarily serve mobility needs Typical Characteristics have fewer opportunities for entry and exit, carry higher Arterials traffic volumes, and often have higher vehicle speeds. Collectors Local Roads that primarily serve accessibility needs have many Interstate Other opportunities for drivers to enter and exit the roadway, Freeways Other Principal which makes traffic flow less efficient on these roads. The Arterial Minor Arterial table below provides guidelines from the Federal Highway Major Collector Minor Administration (FHWA) for functional classifications: Collector Width 12 feet 11-12 Typical AADT Divided/ Lane Width Access Characteristics (Urban) Undivided feet 11-12 feet 10-12 35,000- Fully Interstate 12 feet Divided 129,000 Controlled

Development of recommended street typologies for this Transportation Master Plan should address these inconsistencies and establish a unified cross section requirement for the future.

Roadway Functional Classification UDOT published functional classification maps based on FHWA’s Highway Functional Classification Guidelines that “define the classes into which streets and highways are grouped, based on their function within the overall roadway network.”7 The map in Figure 3 shows the functional classification for local, collector, arterial and interstate roads in Ogden as designated by UDOT. According to UDOT, “Principal arterials, including Interstates, other freeways & expressways, and other primary highways, serve corridor movements and statewide travel needs through rural areas and serve major centers of activity in urban areas. Minor arterials interconnect and augment the higher lever arterials and provide service to all developed areas of the state, including any cities and large towns, and are spaced in urban areas to provide a balance of access and mobility within communities. Collectors serve a critical role in the roadway network by gathering traffic from local roads and funneling them to the arterial network. Within the context of functional classification, Collectors are broken down into two categories: Major Collectors and Minor Collectors.” 8
