Your input – In existing CRA/RDAs, are there existing underutilized tools or existing tools that can be improved for housing? Accessory Dwelling Units Rep. Ward Proposal Two-pronged approach: Zoning This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-NC • If a city has authorized “internal” ADUs (owner occupied, inside or attached to residence) within a zone, the ADU is a permitted use. Building code modifications • IBC Definitional piece: Distinguishes between a duplex, a detached ADU, and a primary dwelling owner occupied interior ADU. HB 374 Reporting Update HB 374 • 70 cities reported at least partial data • Plan review and inspection • Most cities are compliant with the 14-/21- day requirements for plan review and inspection. • Multiple cities identified challenges with logistics and staffing during the pandemic HB 374 Cont’d SB 34 Progress Reports Progress reports to DWS are December 1 • Reporting compliance is essential to your continued eligibility for state Transportation Investment Fund ($700m) projects. • Progress report will play a key role in our ability to defend against additional state land use requirements! • Reporting form • Questions? Contact Meg [email protected] Op-eds “But even with more flexible zoning laws, municipalities are still impeding the affordable housing market through their fee structures. Until both are drastically changed, affording a home will continue to be unattainable for many Utahns.” Housing data Residential Units Permitted by Year 30,000 27,610 • “Nearly 76% of Utah local governments responding to a 23,00224,245 23,294 25,000 Utah Foundation survey noted that the need to increase 18,810 20,064 20,000 17,294 15,009 road capacity was one of the greatest impediments to 15,000 11,919 9,079 9,085 10,000 growth, with water infrastructure a close second.” – 5,000 Utah Foundation, June 2019 0 Residential Units Permitted • Your residents trust YOU to manage growth. Year Source: Ivory-Boyer Construction Database Housing: How you can help • SB 34 data • HB 374 data • ULCT forthcoming rebuttal to complete the fees and zoning narrative • Talk to your legislators about how your community plans for growth, counter narrative that cities are sole cause of housing crisis. Land Use Task Force Update Land Use Task Force: Final stages • Annual training for planning commissioners: require one hour on LUDMA, three hours other courses provided through ULCT or city staff. • Impact fees: clarify existing statute that allows a local entity to use impact fees to pay for the impact fee facilities plan and analysis and enactment of the impact fee. • Conditional use permits: modify UCA 10-9a-407 to state that CUP standards must be “objective.” Land Use Task Force: Final stages • Annexation/Incorporation • Cross-county boundary annexation: • Legislation would require a property owner to first approach cities within county where property is located. • If same-county cities are not interested, the property owner may then look to a city in an external county if the city identifies the property within its annexation plan. • The external county then holds a hearing and issues a decision based upon statutory standards to authorize or decline annexation. • The property owner may then file an annexation request with the city located in the external county. Land Use Task Force: Final stages • Annexation/Incorporation, cont. • Annexation notification: require counties to provide actual notice to each property owner located within the proposed area to be annexed and 300 ft of the proposed area before an annexation petition is filed (actual notice is only required for annexation in a 1st class county under current law). • Incorporation notification: require the lieutenant governor to provide actual notice to each property owner located within the proposed area to be incorporated and 300 ft of the proposed area after receiving a request for a feasibility study (actual notice is only provided to large landowners under current law). • Second opt-out: give landowners 15 days to opt out of an incorporation after conclusion of 1st public hearing on feasibility study results (first opt-out is before feasibility study occurs). LUTF: In process, no consensus yet • Low Impact Development: establish maximum pavement width for cities that require low impact development • Boundary line adjustments: clarifying confusion between boundary line agreements and boundary adjustments • Water provider review of plats: statutory clarification and authority for a water district/provider to review and approve a plat at the time of subdivision or vacating and, at the time of review, preservation or creation of a water provider easement. • Development agreements and contract zoning: clarify permitted use of development agreements and distinguish from illegal “contract zoning” • Building permits and vesting: clarify that building permits are a separate process from the land use approval process and that the building code may only be changed by the legislature. • Gravel pits: clarify regulation of existing, new, and expanded operations Land Use Task Force: No go… • Standards of Review: ULCT rejected changing the land use code to allow a bifurcated appeal standard, changing the appeal standard • PID: ULCT Board rejected any legislation that would allow the creation of a PID without local government approval

  • 2021 Legislative Wrap up Document
    UTAH LEAGUE OF CITIES AND TOWNS LEGISLATIVE2021 WRAP UP #Cities Work INTRODUCTION 2021 was a legislative session like no other: new Governor, new legislators, COVID-19, Zoom voting, and an earlier start date after several 2020 special sessions. ULCT successfully nav- igated the 2021 General Session by relying on the League’s pillars: respecting the roles of state and local government, collaborating with stake- holders, and targeting policy-focused outcomes. ULCT took a hands-on approach with over 60 bills—testifying, negoti- ating, writing language, 245 and other advocacy BILLS TRACKED work—in addition to the INTRODUCTION 245 bills we tracked. Despite many bills preempt- ing local government authority, ULCT effectively defeated legislation mandating digital billboards, expanding short-term rentals, and increasing bureaucracy around fees, to name a few. ULCT invested significant resources negotiating and amending two preemptive land use bills, and will continue discussions with legislators on inspec- tions, building design elements, and internal ac- cessory dwelling units. Several bills supporting and improving law enforcement were passed due to the efforts of the Love, Listen, Lead Task Force, a joint ULCT and Utah Chiefs of Police Association endeavor. The Legislature also passed an unprec- edented investment in transit and transportation projects, efforts supported by the ULCT Board. Ultimately, our success comes back to the unpar- alleled involvement by our members. Thank you! Of course, the session also created plenty of is- sues for the 2021 interim, including continuing discussions on water, land use, public safety, and much more. We encourage members to engage with the League through the Legislative Policy Committee, ULCT conferences, and League com- munications.
