amend the zoning map in the West Temple Gateway Redevelopment project
area pursuant to Petition No. PLNPCM2011-00640 : View Attachments
• Zoning for properties located between 700 South and

300 West would be changed to the new Form Based Urban
Neighborhood (FB-UN-1 and FB-UN-2) zone. Zoning for
properties located between 700 South and 800 South and

and strengthen the character of single-family home
clusters on Montrose, Jefferson, and Washington Streets .
Related provisions of Title 21A, Zoning, may also be amended as
part of this petition. Although the proposal would rezone properties
to FB-UN-1 and FB-UN-2 (Form Based Urban Neighborhood) zones,
consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning
district with similar characteristics. (Petitioner Mayor Becker)
