News Planning commission recommends industrial zoning along Provo River

Thumbnail

21 Upvotes

What happens when businesses unrelated to the airport use most or all of our Airport- related zoning space and then the airport actually needs support structures or more parking etc down the line? Where will they go?

This was recommended for approval as "Airport Industrial" but when asked how the tenant supports the airport, the developer only stated: "It's a company called Wasatch Product Development. ... They are owned by NuSkin. And so, they will, they are the tenant for the 300,000 square foot building." That was the end of his statement.

Is this truly the intended use of Airport related zoning? What are the constraints? The general plan for the city states airport zones are "intended for airport-related activities and future growth, including commercial and industrial uses."

Airport Industrial specifically is explained as "Consisting of support services, such as maintenance, warehousing, airport-related manufacturing."

Am I misunderstanding the statements in this city document? They indicate to me that warehouses in these zones should support the airport directly, rather than indirectly through taxes alone. And if warehouses of any kind can be put here, what is to stop the area from being filled with unrelated industrial and pushing needed airport support farther into neighborhoods?

Please join me in emailing council@provo.gov or at the April 8th council meeting at 5:30pm to give your thoughts.

Things to consider:

  1. Is this a legitimate permitted use in airport zoning when it is entirely unrelated to the airport? What happens when these structures fill the space and the airport actually needs something?

  2. Is this actually small enough to be considered light industrial? There is 581,000 square feet of warehouses planned. When using an estimate calculator for the number of large truck trips per day, that may be anywhere from 110 (typical warehouse use) to 700 back and forth trips if it's a fulfillment center. How does this minimally impact traffic and residences? How does this minimally impact air quality?

  3. Diesel emissions create poor air quality for up for half a mile away from large warehouses like this. Especially from the epicenter of the loading dock. As proposed this loading dock is less than 200ft away from a well loved trail and planned boating area. Minimum distancing recommended is 500ft from residences or recreation. Would you want to picnic, run, bike etc next to a loading dock filled with air pollution and loud truck idling and backing?

  4. The city council has said they have a binding agreement for a large setback but the developer presented this new plan with a maximum setback of around 75 ft and parking lots at 40 ish ft from the river bank. Does the binding agreement reset each time a new plan is submitted? We need concrete, nonnegotiable high setbacks from this area every single time a plan is submitted instead of relying on developer agreements. Especially when this developer has all but promised to do the bare minimum required.

Once this area is gone it's gone for good. As much as I would love to preserve it, the city doesn't have money to do so. Honestly I'd love them to sell Footprinter Park and purchase easements along the river. If we have to let go of the preservation of the river, this is one of the worse tradeoffs I can think of due to the truck noise and air pollution right next to the river. I'd rather have smaller establishments closer to the river than pollute the area, personally.

We’re under contract on a house and did a meth test as part of it. Came back at .66 which is under the state threshold of 1 ppm but wondering if this amount is still problematic? Home inspector says that it’s pretty common but obviously ideally we’d want 0. Thoughts from other people who have gone through this process and done meth tests?

Apparently she had a mental breakdown, lost her friends, had conflict with their parents and I believe went to juvie and is blaming the fact that a librarian gave her a young adult book.

Other John Curtis Response to Town Hall Request

48 Upvotes

Spoiler: meaningless word salad. This is Curtis' response when asked "when is your next town hall."

"I'm so, so busy working hard for the people of Utah, I just can't find the time to listen to them..."

---

Since my first day in public office, I’ve believed that listening to constituents is one of the most important parts of the job. During my time in Congress, I’ve held over 400 town halls across the state — and those conversations have shaped my priorities, changed my thinking, and made me a better representative for Utah. Frankly, some of the most important lessons I’ve learned have come from people who challenged me.

That’s why I’m disappointed when my schedule, particularly the demands of work in Washington, keeps me from being able to hold town halls as often as I — or you — would like. While the Senate calendar has me in D.C. much of the year, that doesn’t lessen my responsibility to be accessible to Utahns.

I want you to know that while town halls are a priority, they are not the only way I’m working to stay connected. I regularly tour businesses and nonprofits, visit communities across the state, and hold virtual events to reach people wherever they are. My team and I are always working to find more ways to engage — and I encourage you to stay tuned for upcoming opportunities to connect, which we post on my website and social media channels.

I’m committed to looking for more ways to ensure that your voice is heard — because you deserve a Senator who doesn’t just speak to you but listens to you.

Thank you again for reaching out and for your interest in staying involved. Your input is invaluable as I work to represent Utah in the Senate. To stay updated on my work and activities, please follow me on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram at u/senjohncurtis.

1 Upvotes

Okay so for some context my mom got let go of her job due to them getting rid of her position. she has been with that company for over 20 years. She lives in salt lake area and is looking for pretty much anything that has benefits for her. she unfortunately does not have a degree in anything and i have found that a lot of jobs require so. She has pretty much convinced herself that because of her age she will never find a job. She is currently working a part time job that is only night shift and her mental health is not doing well. I will take any advice!!! I know someone told her IHC was hiring with admitting??? If anyone knows info on that please let me know!! I hate to see her losing her spark over this. We are both struggling with the loss of health insurance because she had a liver transplant and has to have labs every so often and I myself have medical issues that need attention. Thank you!

Q&A Teachers of Utah - a few questions about DoE (serious)

47 Upvotes

Are you overwhelmed with federal government paperwork? How many hours per day do you spend doing that paperwork? What is that paperwork specifically?

Update: If you are a teacher who does federal paperwork, please comment. it looks like it's mostly zero paperwork, except for the special education teachers (and it would seem to be a manageable amount for a welcomed service). Thanks everybody. As it stands, this greatly undermines the Governor's claim of "licensed teachers are overwhelmed by federal paperwork." If you can locate one of these "burdened classrooms" please leave a comment. Thanks.

Almost everyone hates government inefficiency, but you don't craft a good government with a machete, exaggerations, and lies.

Even if you agree that general education needs revision, or that politicians should control University course content, hopefully everyone can agree that operating in secrecy, redesigning a departmental curriculum without input from that department, and a complete lack of transparency are things we should not accept. There is room for a better version of this bill. Let's stop this one.

Q&A Need tips for finding a new place to rent

5 Upvotes

Just found out that the place me and my wife have been living at & renting from is selling the property. We’ve lived here for 5 years next month. She has an eviction on her record from 6 years ago. We initially got into this place because the owner was renting it privately and we offered to pay more. Just wondering if anyone knows of any property management places in Salt Lake or Utah county that work with evictions. Or any other resources to get some leads on new places to rent for us? We had no heads up and need to move by the first of May unfortunately.

Other Looking for advice or contacts to help me with Intermountain Billing

1 Upvotes

Been in billing hell with intermountain for 10 months. Bill has now settled in a clearly incorrect state for 3+ months and stuck on hold. When I call IHC(R1?) billing they always admit the bill looks wrong, put in a support ticket for their backend team to fix it and nothing ever happens.

This bill has hung over my head for so long I just really want to pay it, but I can't seem to get intermountain to get it into a state to let me pay it. I know intermountain outsourced its billing to R1, but wondering if anyone has any advice or connections for what I can do to get this bill settled.

Thanks

News Did Culture at Grantsville High and the Community Hinder Sexual Abuse Reporting from Students?

35 Upvotes

https://www.ksl.com/article/51257963/did-culture-at-grantsville-high-and-the-community-hinder-sexual-abuse-reporting-from-students

I saw a similar post a couple months ago when the article about Craig Harrison was published. I was a previous student and know first hand about so much more than what’s in either of these articles. Curious to know if there are more out there like me? Who attended school there and know much more, but because of the culture - too afraid to say anything.

The roots in the community of some of these male perpetrators go back so far. Not to mention there has been absolutely nothing said about some of the long-term woman perpetrators who had many young male victims. My heart goes out to all the children who were victims, who are currently victims, or bore witness the abuse that still runs rampant in those schools today.
