Result /
WHEREAS, Salt Lake City has a comprehensive plan for land use, en-
forced and implemented by City law; and
WHEREAS, as an intrigal part of said plan is consideration of traffic
flow problems and the protection of residential areas; and
WHEREAS, this responsibility and authority for planning of land uses
has been given to the City by the Utah Legislature; and
WHEREAS, the State of Utah, through its executive department, should
be sensitive to and complement the City master plans for zoning and land
uses within the Capitol City of this State; and
WHEREAS, the State of Utah, through its State Building Board, has
developed plans to construct and remodel structures for the purpose of
utilizing the same for office space in an area known as Capitol Hill,
which plans are totally incompatable with City zoning laws which reserves
the area for R-4 and R-5 residential uses; and
WHEREAS, the said State Plans are further ill advised for many other
reasons, including the fact that traffic and parking problems created
by the plans are inadequate and will press an unwise and unfair burden on
surrounding residential areas; and
WHEREAS, thus far the State has heretofore steadfastly maintained
that they are totally immune from City zoning laws and the studied opin-
ions of City officials conversant with and responsible for land use
development in Salt Lake City; and
WHEREAS, said agencies have not coordinated any of these plans with
the City and the City has received vigorous complaints about said develop-
ments; and
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Commission is of the belief that a
partnership of cooperation should exist between the City and State in
the planned development of Capitol Hill;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Salt Lake City
Commissioners that it does hereby express its concern and dismay over the
attitude of certain State officials in ignoring City zoning and planning
ordinances, which ordinances were passed after considerable study and
under the direction of the State Legislature.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Governor of the State be advised
of these problems, be requested to halt this planned development by State
agencies, be requested to direct these agencies to comply with City
zoning laws and to confer with City planning officials to locate suitable
office space locations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Mayor be, and he is hereby re-
quested, to personally deliver a copy of this resolution to the
Governor and seek an amicable solution to this problem.
