Re : Block 42B Master Plan
Dear Mike ,
On January 4 , 1990 the Salt Lake City Planning Commission moved
to recommend adoption of a master plan for Block 42B , the city
block bounded by 900 East 300 South 1000 East and 400 South .
This recommendation followed an informal hearing conducted by the
Planning Commission . It is now appropriate that the Block 42B
Master Plan be considered by the City Council and a public
hearing be scheduled .
In essence , this master plan is a document that establishes a
desired land use pattern and guides growth and development on
Block 42B . If adopted by the City Council , the Block 42B Master
Plan will become part of the East Central Neighborhood Plan ,
1984 .
Sincere ,

A MASTER PLAN FOR SALT LAKE CITY SURVEY PLAT B BLOCK 42
900 EAST - 1000 EAST, 300 SOUTH - 400 SOUTH
INTRODUCTION
IT IS THE INTENT OF THE MASTER PLAN FOR SALT LAKE CITY SURVEY
PLAT B BLOCK 42 (BLOCK 42B) , BOUNDED BY 900 EAST , 300 SOUTH , 1000
EAST AND 400 SOUTH TO REFINE AND STRENGTHEN THE DIRECTION OF THE
EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN , 1984 FOR THIS BLOCK • THIS PLAN
PRESENTS A DESIRABLE FUTURE CHARACTER FOR BLOCK 42B AND ADDRESSES
THE ISSUES OF LAND USE , LAND USE TRANSITIONS , TRAFFIC
CIRCULATION , AND DESIGN AMENITY • THEREFORE , THE BLOCK 42B MASTER
PLAN SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SUPPLEMENT TO , AND COMPANION DOCUMENT
FOR THE EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN , 1984 • THIS PLAN ALSO
ADDRESSES THE PENDING DEVELOPMENTS PROPOSED BY THE SALT LAKE
CLINIC FOR BLOCK 42B AND EVALUATES THEM WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF
BOTH THE EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN , 1984 AND THE BLOCK 42B
MASTER PLAN •
EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN, 1984 - GUIDING PRINCIPLES
IT IS THE CLEAR AND UNMISTAKABLE DIRECTION OF THE EAST CENTRAL
NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN , 1984 TO "STABILIZE [THE EAST CENTRAL
NEIGHBORHOOD] AS AN ATTRACTIVE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD" (P •4) •
To ACHIEVE THIS GOAL THE EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
IDENTIFIES SEVERAL APPROPRIATE ACTIONS AND STRATEGIES • THESE
ARE :
1 • TO CONSERVE THE LOW-MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER
OF THE AREA,
2 • ENCOURAGE COMPATIBLE INFILL HOUSING ON VACANT LOTS , LOTS
CONTAINING NONCONFORMING USES AND RESIDENTIAL USES IN
DISREPAIR ,
3 • ENCOURAGE LOW DENSITY DEVELOPMENT CONSISTENT WITH
DENSITY AND DESIGN OF EXISTING HOUSING , AND
1
4 . ENCOURAGE PRESERVATION OF GOOD HOUSING AND NEIGHBORHOOD
ELEMENTS (EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN , 1984 PP . 17-
18) .
THE MASTER PLAN FOR BLOCK 42B WAS DEVELOPED WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK
ESTABLISHED BY THE EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN , 1984 THE
HOUSING ELEMENT OF THE SALT LAKE CITY MASTER PLAN , 1980 AND THE
CENTRAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN , 1974 . THE BLOCK 42B MASTER
PLAN SEEKS TO CLARIFY THE PRINCIPLES AND DIRECTION OF THESE PLANS
FOR THIS BLOCK .

A MASTER PLAN FOR BLOCK 42B
PRESENT CHARACTER
BLOCK 42B IS A MIXTURE OF USES • THESE INCLUDE LOW-MEDIUM DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL ACTIVITIES , COMMERCIAL USES ON THE CORNERS OF 300
SOUTH AND 400 SOUTH 900 EAST STREET , AND A MIX OF HIGH-DENSITY
RESIDENTIAL AND OFFICE USES ALONG THE 400 SOUTH STREET FRONTAGE •
THE 900 EAST BLOCK FACE CONTAINS RESIDENTIAL , MEDICAL OFFICE ,
SURFACE PARKING AND COMMERCIAL USES • THE MAIN OFFICE OF SALT
LAKE CLINIC AND ITS ASSOCIATED PARKING IS A PRINCIPLE LAND USE •
THE MAJOR THOROUGHFARES ADJOINING THE BLOCK ARE 400 SOUTH STREET
AND 900 EAST STREET , EACH OF VITAL IMPORTANCE TO TRAFFIC MOVEMENT
IN SALT LAKE CITY • BLOCK 42B DOES NOT POSSESS A SINGULAR ,
UNIFYING CHARACTER • RATHER , THE CHARACTER OF BLOCK 42B VARIES
FROM RESIDENTIAL USE AND ARCHITECTURE TO LARGE , INTENSIVELY
DEVELOPED OFFICE USES • DEVELOPMENT ON BLOCK 42B HAS PROCEEDED IN
A DISJOINTED MANNER WITH NO UNDERLYING THEME OR DIRECTION •
FUTURE CHARACTER
BLOCK 42B SHOULD PRIMARILY ACCOMMODATE LOW-MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENT , ALTHOUGH APPROPRIATE NONRESIDENTIAL ACTIVITIES
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AND DIRECTED TOWARD 400 SOUTH STREET •
HOWEVER , INCOMPATIBLE NONRESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT MUST BE DENIED
TO CONSERVE AND STABILIZE BLOCK 42B AS A RESIDENTIAL SETTING •
BLOCK 42B SHOULD PROVIDE AN AREA OF TRANSITION IN ACTIVITIES AND
SCALE FROM THAT ALLOWED ALONG 400 SOUTH STREET TO A LESSER SCALE
AND INTENSITY RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT TOWARDS 300 SOUTH STREET
AND 1000 EAST STREET • IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSERVE THE BLOCK ' S
ARCHITECTURAL FLAVOR AND TREE-LINED STREETS • No DEVELOPMENT
SHOULD RESULT IN THE NET LOSS OF RESIDENTIAL FLOOR SPACE OR
RESIDENTIAL UNITS •
3
USE OF LAND
THE PRIMARY USE OF LAND ON BLOCK 42B SHOULD BE FOR RESIDENTIAL
ACTIVITY • ALL INFILL DEVELOPMENTS SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE THE SCALE
AND BUILT FORM OF ADJOINING AND SURROUNDING STRUCTURES TO MAGNIFY
AND REINFORCE THE BLOCK ' S DESIRED RESIDENTIAL ELEMENTS • THE
INTENSIFICATION OF NONRESIDENTIAL USES SHOULD BE RESTRICTED TO
THEIR EXISTING SITES AND SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH RESIDENTIAL
USES IN TERMS OF INTENSITY , HOURS OF OPERATION AND BUILT FORM•
BUILT FORM
HEIGHT AND SCALE
THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT ALLOWED ON THIS BLOCK SHOULD BE FOUR (4)
STORIES , OR 45 FEET . NEW BUILDINGS SHOULD MAINTAIN THE
RELATIVELY LOW-MEDIUM SCALE BUILT FORM BUT DEVELOPMENT INTENSITY
ALONG THE 400 SOUTH FRONTAGE COULD BE A LITTLE GREATER THAN THE
REMAINDER OF THE BLOCK, PROMOTING A DESIRABLE VISUAL EDGE ALONG
400 SOUTH STREET • NEW BUILDINGS SHOULD EXPRESS THE DESIRED
RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER OF THE BLOCK IN FACADE DESIGN , ROOF FORMS
AND CHOICE OF BUILDING MATERIALS • INFILL DEVELOPMENT SHOULD
ACKNOWLEDGE SCALE , FORM, AND FACADE COMPOSITION IN ORDER TO
REINFORCE THESE ELEMENTS OF BLOCK CHARACTER .
TOWNSCAPE CONTEXT
ALL FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SHOULD ACHIEVE A COHERENT , UNIFIED
CHARACTER AND ATTRACTIVE STREETSCAPES • THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE
FRAGMENTED TOWNSCAPE AND AMENITY OF THIS BLOCK SHOULD BE ACHIEVED
THROUGH REDEVELOPMENT OF VACANT, UNDER UTILIZED AND BLIGHTED
SITES WITH RESIDENTIAL USES • THE CONTINUITY OF BUILDING FACADES
ALONG STREET FRONTAGES SHOULD BE REESTABLISHED AND AN
INCREASINGLY RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER CREATED TOWARD 300 SOUTH
STREET AND 1000 EAST STREET• 300 SOUTH AND 1000 EAST STREETS
SHOULD BE EXCLUSIVELY RESIDENTIAL AND BADDLEY PLACE SHOULD BE
4
REESTABLISHED AS A RESIDENTIAL ENCLAVE • APPROPRIATE SCREENING
AND BUFFER TREATMENTS SHOULD BE UTILIZED BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL
ACTIVITIES AND ADJOINING NONRESIDENTIAL USES • NEW BUILDINGS ON
THE BLOCK SHOULD BLEND WITH ADJOINING STRUCTURES AND EXPRESS THE
DESIRED RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT IN DESIGN AND BUILDING MATERIALS •
BUILDINGS ON LARGER SITES MAY EMPLOY MORE DIVERSE ARCHITECTURAL
FORMS AND MATERIALS BUT MUST MAKE A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION TO THE
DESIRED TOWNSCAPE CHARACTER •
MOVEMENT
VEHICLE ACCESS AND PARKING
THE CAPACITY OF 400 SOUTH (A MAJOR ARTERIAL ) AND 900 EAST (A
COLLECTOR ) TO MOVE TRAFFIC MUST BE MAINTAINED• THESE STREETS
SHOULD ALSO PROVIDE PRINCIPAL ACCESS TO THE BLOCK • TRAFFIC ON
AND AROUND BLOCK 42B SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE DIRECTED TO 400 SOUTH
STREET AND 900 EAST STREET • ANY DEVELOPMENT ON BLOCK 42B THAT
REDUCES THE TRAFFIC CAPACITY OF 400 SOUTH AND 900 EAST SHOULD BE
DISCOURAGED• THE STREETS OF 300 SOUTH AND 1000 EAST SHOULD
PROVIDE LOCAL ACCESS TO PROPERTIES WITH SOME THROUGH TRAFFIC
PROVISION • PARKING LOTS SHOULD BE DENIED ADJACENT TO STREET
FRONTAGES • PARKING AREAS SHOULD BE SITED BEHIND MAIN BUILDINGS
AND WHEREVER POSSIBLE DESIGNED AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF SITE
DESIGN • GENERALLY , ABOVE GRADE PARKING STRUCTURES ARE OUT OF
CONTEXT WITH THE CHARACTER OF BLOCK 42B•
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS
WHILE BLOCK 42B SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE HIGHLY ACCESSIBLE WITH A
SIGNIFICANT VOLUME OF VEHICULAR TRAFFIC ON 400 SOUTH AND 900
EAST, A HIGH LEVEL OF PEDESTRIAN SAFETY , ACCESS , AND AMENITY MUST
BE MAINTAINED• WELL MAINTAINED SIDEWALKS , APPROPRIATELY SITED
DRIVEWAYS , AND STREET TREE PLANTINGS WILL ENCOURAGE THE DESIRED
PEDESTRIAN AMENITY •
5
ENVIRONMENT
SIGNAGE
ALL SIGNS SHOULD BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE OVERALL RESIDENTIAL
CHARACTER SOUGHT FOR THIS BLOCK • SIGNS AND THEIR IMPACT SHOULD
DECREASE IN TERMS OF SIZE , COLOR , ILLUMINATION AND PROMINENCE
WITH INCREASING DISTANCE FROM 400 SOUTH STREET •
LANDSCAPE OPEN SPACE
ON-SITE LANDSCAPING IS REOUIRED TO ENHANCE THE RESIDENTIAL
SETTING SOUGHT FOR THE BLOCK • EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPING AND BUFFER
TREATMENTS SHOULD BE UTILIZED TO SOFTEN THE TRANSITION FROM
NONRESIDENTIAL TO RESIDENTIAL USES • EXTENSIVE STREET TREE
PLANTINGS ON ALL BLOCK 42B FRONTAGES WILL ADD TO BLOCK AMENITY •
CONCLUSION
BLOCK 42B SHOULD CONTINUE AS A VIABLE RESIDENTIAL ENVIRONMENT •
NONRESIDENTIAL USES MAY BE APPROPRIATE PROVIDED THEY BLEND WITH ,
AND DO NOT COMPROMISE THE RESIDENTIAL INTEGRITY OF THE BLOCK •
SITE PLANNING, BUILDING SCALE AND DESIGN , AND TRANSITIONING
TREATMENTS ARE ALL IMPORTANT ELEMENTS OF LAND USE COMPATIBILITY
FOR BLOCK 42B •
6
SALT LAKE CLINIC , DIRECTIONS FOR THE FUTURE
THE MAIN OFFICE OF THE SALT LAKE CLINIC IS THE PRINCIPAL LAND USE
ON BLOCK 42B • THIS MASTER PLAN WOULD BE REMISS IF IT DID NOT
ADDRESS THE DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL OF THE CLINIC FACILITIES AND
ITS INFLUENCE ON THE CHARACTER OF BLOCK 42B•
THE EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN , 1984 RECOGNIZED THAT PAST
ZONING REGULATIONS HAVE ACCOMMODATED CLINICS , CONVALESCENT HOMES
AND OTHER NONRESIDENTIAL USES TO SUCH A DEGREE THAT THE LOW
DENSITY NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER AND DISTINCT FLAVOR OF THE EARLY
TWENTIETH CENTURY ARCHITECTURE IS IN JEOPARDY (P • 17) • INDEED,
THE EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN SUGGESTED THAT THE CITY ADOPT
A POLICY THAT WOULD RESTRICT MEDICAL FACILITIES TO THE HOLY CROSS
HOSPITAL BLOCK • "REZONING TO ACCOMMODATE ADDITIONAL MEDICAL
FACILITIES IN THE EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD IS DISCOURAGED" (EAST
CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN, 1984, P • 28) •
WITH THE ADOPTION OF THE EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN , 1984
SALT LAKE CITY INITIATED REZONING ACTIONS TO RESTRICT MEDICAL
USES IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD• SALT LAKE CLINIC IS NOW ALLOWED ON
BLOCK 42B AS A CONDITIONAL USE • LOCATED AT 333 SOUTH 900 EAST
AND ESTABLISHED IN 1958 , THE MAIN OFFICE OF SALT LAKE CLINIC IS
NOW A FACILITY OF APPROXIMATELY 71 ,000 SQUARE FEET LOCATED ON A
4 .3 ACRE SITE • THE SALT LAKE CLINIC IS AN EXTREMELY VALUABLE
AMENITY FOR THE CITIZENS OF SALT LAKE CITY AS WELL AS VALLEY WIDE
RESIDENTS • INDEED, TO MORE FULLY SERVE AREA RESIDENTS THE SALT
LAKE CLINIC IS PROPOSING TO EXPAND ITS FACILITY TO APPROXIMATELY
133 ,000 SQUARE FEET ON A 5 . 0 ACRE SITE • THEREFORE , IT IS THE
GOAL OF THIS SECTION OF THE BLOCK 42B MASTER PLAN TO EVALUATE THE
EXPANSION PLANS OF THE SALT LAKE CLINIC AGAINST THE PRINCIPLES OF
THIS PLAN AND EXISTING ORDINANCE PROVISIONS •
THE OVERRIDING PRINCIPAL OF THE BLOCK 42B MASTER PLAN AND THE
EAST CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN , 1984 IS TO PRESERVE AND PROVIDE
7
RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITY ON THE BLOCK AND TO STRENGTHEN
RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER • ADDITIONALLY , THE SALT LAKE CITY ZONING
ORDINANCE PRESENTS THE APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR ANY SALT LAKE CLINIC
EXPANSION • CONTAINED IN SECTION 21 . 40 . 050C THESE CRITERIA ARE :
1 • THAT THE USE WILL BE IN KEEPING WITH NEIGHBORHOOD
CHARACTER AND WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT NEIGHBORHOOD
STABILITY ,
2 • THAT THE STREET SYSTEM WILL NOT BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED,
OR MEASURES CAN BE TAKEN TO MITIGATE TRAFFIC AND PARKING
DEMANDS,
3• THERE EXISTS NO CONDITIONS THAT WOULD MAKE THE USE
IMPROPER TO ESTABLISH, AND
4• THAT NO CIRCUMSTANCES EXIST THAT PRECLUDE APPROVAL OF
THE CONTINUED USE ( SALT LAKE CITY ZONING ORDINANCE , P •
858 ) •
FURTHER , ANY EXPANSION OF THE SALT LAKE CLINIC FACILITY WILL
REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PARKING . AS THE SALT LAKE CLINIC PARKING LOT
IS ALSO A CONDITIONAL USE , APPROPRIATE CONDITIONS MAY BE IMPOSED
TO PROTECT RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER (SEC • 21 . 78 .060A8 SALT LAKE CITY
ZONING ORDINANCE P•900) •
FOR THE SALT LAKE CLINIC , THE BLOCK 42B MASTER PLAN RECOMMENDS ;
A• THAT CLINIC EXPANSION BE DIRECTED TOWARDS THE SOUTH WEST
CORNER OF BLOCK 428 .
B • THAT NO CLINIC EXPANSION RESULT IN THE NET LOSS OF
RESIDENTIAL FLOOR SPACE OR RESIDENTIAL UNITS •
C • THAT ANY ADDITION TO THE EXISTING BUILDING RECOGNIZE THE
SCALE OF ADJOINING STRUCTURES • SPECIFICALLY , ANY ADDITION TO THE
EXISTING BUILDING ' S NORTH , WEST OR EAST FACADE SHOULD BE DESIGNED
AND/OR TERRACE DOWN TO BLEND WITH ADJOINING RESIDENTIAL
STRUCTURES • THE VISUAL IMPACT OF ALL CLINIC BUILDINGS MUST BE
CONSIDERED•
8
D• ANY NEW BUILDING , SOUTH OF THE EXISTING FACILITY , BE
RESTRICTED TO ONE ( 1 ) LEVEL ABOVE GRADE • A BASEMENT LEVEL IS
APPROPRIATE • IN TOTAL , A BUILDING AND CONNECTING WALKWAY OF
APPROXIMATELY 27 , 000 SQUARE FEET IS APPROPRIATE •
E • AS PART OF ANY INCREASE IN CLINIC ACTIVITY , BADDLEY PLACE BE
RETURNED TO RESIDENTIAL USE • BADDLEY PLACE SHOULD NOT PROVIDE
ACCESS TO THE SALT LAKE CLINIC • THIS IS AN AMELIORATIVE ACTION
TO ASSIST IN ACHIEVING THE RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER OF BLOCK 42B •
FOUR ( 4) BUILDABLE LOTS ARE AVAILABLE ON BADDLEY PLACE AND ALL
FOUR (4) SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR RESIDENTIAL USES •
F • ALL CLINIC PARKING BE PROVIDED AT , OR BELOW GRADE , MINIMIZING
THE NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF A SUBSTANTIAL PARKING DEMAND IN A
RESIDENTIAL AREA • ANY ABOVE GRADE PARKING STRUCTURE WOULD BE
PARTICULARLY DETRIMENTAL TO THE DESIRABILITY AND STABILITY OF THE
RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER SOUGHT FOR BLOCK 42B •
G • WHERE POSSIBLE , THE CLINIC SHOULD AVOID CREATING "MAJOR GAPS"
IN STREET FRONTAGES • TO MAINTAIN CONTINUITY OF THE STREET EDGE ,
ALL CLINIC PARKING SHOULD BE LOCATED BEHIND BUILDINGS , SCREENING
WALLS AND LANDSCAPING • THE 400 SOUTH STREET BUILDING EDGE SHOULD
BE MAINTAINED WITH CLINIC PARKING SCREENED BEHIND BUILDING
FACADES •
H • THAT EXTENSIVE LANDSCAPING , SETBACK AND SCREENING BE
ESTABLISHED SURROUNDING THE PARKING LOT AND CLINIC BUILDINGS •
THIS ACTION WILL PROMOTE COMPATIBILITY WITH ADJOINING STRUCTURES
AND USES •
I • THAT ALL BUILDING MATERIALS AND DESIGN BE SENSITIVE TO THE
RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER OF BLOCK 42B •
