Guide to Construction Mitigation Plans
Questions & Answers
When are Construction Mitigation Plans required?
Construction Mitigation plans must be prepared on all construction projects within the Park City limits requiring a Building Permit. A more detailed plan may be required for larger projects that have gone through the planning commission.
Who reviews this plan and how long will it take?
The Building, Planning & Engineering Departments will review your plan. The Chief Building Official makes the final approval. Your plan will be reviewed as quickly as possible and should not take more than 10 working days.
What if I need to work earlier or later than the hours of operation?
A Construction Mitigation Exception Permit may extend hours of operation depending on nature or public safety concerns requiring continuous operation.
What do I need to submit?
This plan shall be written and shall address the following elements: (Please note: all of these elements may not apply to each individual project. There may also be additional elements, unique to the project that involves public health and safety issues.)
1. Hours of Operation
The hours of operation are 7AM to 9PM, Monday thru Saturday, and 9AM to 6PM on Sunday.
2. Parking
Construction vehicles parking may be restricted at construction sites so as to not block reasonable public and safety vehicle access along the street and sidewalks. Within paid and permit only areas, an approved parking plan must be obtained from the Public Works Department.
3. Deliveries
Deliveries of construction materials and supplies, including concrete, may be regulated as to time (hours of operation) and routing.
4. Stockpiling & Staging
In order to reduce the number of delivery trips to construction sites, the stockpiling of materials on site may be required.
5. Construction Phasing
Due to narrow streets, topography, small lot configuration, traffic circulation, weather, construction parking and material staging problems, projects in the Historic District and other areas of the City may be required to be phased. In cases where phasing is deemed necessary, the first project to receive a building permit shall have priority, however, the Building Official shall have authority to phase projects as necessary to assure efficient, timely and safe construction.
6. Trash Management and Recycling of Materials
Construction sites shall provide adequate storage and a program for trash removal. Construction material recycling bins are encouraged on sites with adequate room for separation of materials.
7. Control of Dust & Mud
A program for the control dust or other airborne debris shall be required. Provisions must be made to prevent the tracking of mud on streets and it will be required to remove any such mud daily. Placing gravel in the egress and ingress areas to a job site is one method to control mud and dust problems.
8. Noise
Any noise above 65 decibels violates the noise ordinance, as well as any excessive or unusually loud noise that is plainly audible beyond the property line or outside the hours of operation.
9. Grading and Excavation
Because of the truck hauling involved in grading and excavation, restrictions on trucking routes as well as the hours of operation may be necessary to mitigate the adverse impacts from such operations. Destination and total cubic yards of dirt shall be addressed.
10. Temporary Lighting
An approve temporary lighting plan must be obtained from the Planning Department if any exterior, temporary lighting is necessary for construction.
11. Construction Sign
A sign shall be posted in a location where the sign is readable from the street or driveway. The sign shall not exceed 12 square feet in size and 6 feet in height. The lettering shall not exceed 4 inches in height. Information on the sign shall include:
Name, address and phone number of the contractor
Name, address and phone number of the person responsible for the project
Name and phone number of the party to call in case of an emergency
12. Other Issues
Dogs are prohibited at active construction sites. Encourage meeting with neighboring property owners to help them be aware of what to expect and to keep the lines of communication open.
