Budget of Salt Lake City, including the employment staffing document,

Road to rezone the parcel from Agricultural (AG) to Light Manufacturing
(M-1) and to remove the parcel from the Lowland Conservancy Overlay
District (LC) pursuant to Petition No. PLNPCM2017-00063 . The changes
would allow the site to be developed into light manufacturing
development. The City's Northwest Quadrant Master Plan supports the
change in zoning from AG to M-1 and the property is designated for light
Industrial uses. Public Utilities has reviewed this proposal and is
supportive of removing the property from the overlay district as there
are no ponds or other bodies of water on the property in question, the
area is not located in the floodplain and there have been no wetland
areas discovered in the area. Although the applicant has requested that
the property be rezoned to Light Manufacturing (M-1) , the Council may
consider rezoning the properties to a different zoning district with
similar characteristics (Petitioner: Seefried Development Management,
Inc,) . View Attachments

adjacent to the alley to be combined into a larger parcel and developed.
If the ordinance is adopted, the alley would be sold for fair market
value, or traded for similarly valued land along the northern edge of

#8 . Setting the date of Tuesday, May 2 , 2017 at 7 : 00 p.m. to accept
public comment and consider adopting a resolution authorizing the

appropriate" to accomplish the City's goals. View Attachments
