1. Approve a revision of Section VII of Ordinance 158.
2. Approved revision of Section V of Ordinance 158.
3. Approved a revision of Sections 29-3-1-2-B and 29-4-1 of the Orem City Zoning Ordinance.
Motion was also passed at the April 19, 1972, meeting held in special session that the City Council separate Home Occupation Licensing from the Business License procedure and that the City Business License procedure and that the City Business License Ordinance be revised.
4. Suggested that the City Council set up a committee to review irrigation ditch piping in the City.
The Planning Commission also took action on the City Council's request that a revision to the off-street parking provisions of the Zoning Ordinance be made. In this regard, it was felt that more than just the residential parking provisions needed revision. The action taken was to request staff to prepare a recommendation for the Planning Commission action. This staff paper will be presented at the June 7, 1972, meeting of the Planning Commission.
