'-;': v.'-v.v Less than forty persons gathered at the Memorial Building to lodge complaints or lend support to the ordinance or-dinance which has been vears in the making and which could become law next month. ' Slides With members of the city council and planning commission com-mission who constitute the, master plan committee in attendance and Mayor Leon Uriarte presiding, planning commissioner Wayne Iverson began the public hearing with a slide show depicting the historic character of . Park City. Following the slide presentation which was accompanied by music, City Planner Van Martin touched briefly on the intent of the new ordinance and some of its provisions. Martin said the purpose of the new ordinance is the same as the existing one but that it "clarifies" and adds to the present laws. , The old ordinance "alluded" to a historic district and cited a need to preserve the historic character of the town but did nothing to implement these goals, Martin said. He then stressed that the new . ordinance or-dinance creats a historic district as recommended by the city's master plan." , "The new ordinance makes possible greater innovation," Martin said and ad-ded,"Hopefully, ad-ded,"Hopefully, it will make it possible to not only maintain our environment but also to improve it." RMvs.RD . As expected, downzoning which will occur if the new ordinance is adopted in its present form was the cause of much debate. . Attorney Rick Prince protested the proposed zoning of the Prospector Village area as RD residential rather than the RM residential which allows higher hensity. RD zoning requires 12,500 sq. ft. lot minimums for single family dwellings as opposed to a 2,812 sq. ft. requirement " for RM. Although single family lots in Prospector Village No. I are in the 6,000 sq. ft. range, they will' not be affected by the new ordinance due ' to their prior approval. ; However, the fate of multiple unit development could be drastically altered.-Under altered.-Under RD a minimum of 17,000 sq. ft. would be needed to construct a duplex whereas the RM requirement is only 3,750 sq. ft., (continued on page 3) SALES TAX REVENUE WAY UP Park City received $61,095.76 in sales tax revenue for the last quarter of fiscal year 1975-76, a surplus of $23,095.76 over the $38,000 budgeted as tax revenue for that period. . - ' Baised on four and three quarters percent sales tax (four percent of which is kept by the state and three quarters of which returns to the city) Park City's sales for the months of December, January and' February totaled a record $8.3 million. f'This will be by far the , biggest sales year Park City has ever had," said City Recorder-Treasure Bruce Decker. ' . The 75-'76 fiscal year's total sales figure is $1725 million as compared to $14 million for the previous year, a 23 percent increase. Compounding this rosy, picture was the quarter percent sales tax increase voted by the city council last spring. Previously, the city retained only one half of a percent but when the state offered municipalities the option of tacking on another quarter percent Park City seized the opportunity. " Taking only a half percent in '74-'75, .the city realized $69,000 from its $14 million in sales. The extra quarter percent added to the jump in sales volumn garnered $129,375 for '75-76. Park City's prosperity also directly benefited Summit : County. The state collects a one and a half percent transient room tax which reverts to the county. Contacting the state tax commission revealed that in 1975 Summit County received $29,702.86 in transient room tax monies. After adding the state's two and a half percent collection fee, this computes to $2,031,307 spent on room rentals in Park City. The tax figure will jump dramatically in 1976 as the transient tax was doubled to three percent effective January 1st of this year. mm CITY GOVERNMENT SKI NEWS SCHOOL NEWS LOCAL SPORTS EDITORIAL COMMENT REAL ESTATE CLASSIFIEDS PUBLIC NOTICES TELEVISION LISTINGS HOW ABOUT IT?
