The intent of the original ordinance was to allow condomi-nium- s of a commercial nature 1 (office buildings, professional offices etc.) in the CP-- 1 zone. The wording was not exclusive enough and people approached the planning commission with residential condominium plans for the CP-- 1 zone.

ONE PUBLIC hearing was held at the last council meeting. Gary Dockter requested that his property at the east end of the East Layton Hills subdivision be zoned RS so that he could keep two horses. There is only one acre involved in the rezone request. No one attended the public hearing." Council approved the request. After three attempts, the city council finally gave final approval to the Hillgate Terrace expansion plans. The project has been held up nearly two months because the council did not want the developers to install a lift station to carry sewage from the southern portion of the park north and then into the city sewer lines. COUNCIL MEMBERS wanted the developers to use a gravity flow money received through the sewage system.

FOR THE past several years, every residential developer or person has been required to pay a $200 per unit impact fee before a building permit was issued. This money was placed into a park fund and used for the purchase of land for public parks. The system has worked well. Layton has many attractive parks that are used and enjoyed by hundreds of people living within the city limits and outside of Layton. Building patterns in Layton have changed recently. There are many PRUD (Planned Residential Unit Developments), condominiums and mobile home subdivisions in existence and in the planning stages in Layton. Requirements for these special housing projects include green space and recreation facilities such as swimming pools, play grounds and tennis courts. SHOULD developers of projects with built-i- n green space and recreational space be required to pay the same impact fee as a developer who offers nothing to the home RICHARD HUNT, Layton Parks and Recreation Department head, wondered, even though a de- velopment provides many recreation facilities, does that mean the people living there dont use the city parks?

Is the park impact fee really going to stop any development? Empire West, told council members that the developers of special housing projects with recreation facilities built into the project, dont expect to be treated differently, just treated fairly. The men suggested that Layton City officials might look at each individual project and ask, does what is provided in the project satisfy the recreational needs totally? If not , what credit should be given for the facilities provided? structed Mr. Hunt and Scott Carter, city planner, to look at the park impact schedules used by other cities and to work with the city attorney to develop a workable park fee impact schedule.
