the Capitol) . Comments included: no sidewalks on 300 North (access route
for kids walking to/from Washington Elementary and West High School) ,
request for crosswalks on 500 North was due to the State Capitol being
flooded with people during the legislative session, parking in the
neighborhood was tough to come by, no crosswalks across 500 North to get
to the Capitol, adding sidewalks on the north side of 500 North, hazard
relief by encouraging people to cross at East Capitol or mid-block, and

raised through fund raising projects, and Imperial Neighborhood Park
Association willing to match $30, 000 toward the project.

support of the Whitlock Avenue Curb and Gutter Project. Comments

Councilmember Luke moved and Councilmember Kitchen seconded to
close the public hearing, suspend the rules , and adopt Resolution 41 of
2018 adopting the Capital Improvement Program allocations for Fiscal
Year 2018 - 2019 as shown on the attached Funding Log, except for Project
#3 , so that the City can review funding options and process with the
Inland Port Board, and approve the contingent appropriation for Project
#50 shown on the motion sheet.
He further moved to approve the Contingent Appropriation for Project
#50 - Sunnyside 9-Line Trail to Matheson Nature Preserve - The $265, 000
was contingent upon the Administration sending the Council a
determination of the eligibility to use parks and/or streets impact fees
for the project. If any impact fees could be used, the Council intends,
in a budget amendment, to swap out impact fees for an equal amount of
General Fund dollars which will be recaptured into the CIP Cost Overrun
Account.
Councilmember Luke stated Project #50 was the Sunnyside 9-Line Trail
to the Matheson Nature Preserve which was an item brought forward by the
Community. He said it would fund an additional portion of the 9-Line
Trail, which would eventually connect with the Jordan River to
Immigration Canyon in the Foothill Trail System.
Councilmember Kitchen added as the Administration looked at the
eligibility for Impact Fees to also contemplate long-range funding and
design scenario for the 9-Line Trail . He said it was clear to him after
speaking with constituents in the Central 9th neighborhood (which would
also need to accommodate the 9-Line Trail) there was some
miscommunication between City Departments (Engineering, Parks, and
Transportation) on the 9-Line Trail . He requested getting some language
in the proposal from the Administration.
Councilmember Mendenhall said this was the culmination of weeks of
debate held during Work Session meetings which were open to the public

and Hayes Avenue as part of the 9Line Corridor Plan pursuant to Petition
No PLNPCM2018-00146 . The 9Line Corridor is a linear parkway that runs
along 900 South between the Surplus Canal and 200 West. This corridor
has been historically used as a railroad corridor for passenger trains
and was abandoned in 2007. This street closure is an early step in
implementing the Transvalley Corridor Trail, a system of parks and trails
that would connect the Westside with the foothills (Petitioner: Mayor
Jackie Biskupski) . View Attachments

properties located a half mile or less from a fixed rail transit stop.
The proposal would: View Attachments
• Allow ADUs citywide
° as conditional uses in the FR (Foothill Residential District)
and R-1 (Single Family Residential) zoning districts.
° as permitted uses in all other residential zoning districts
that already allow duplexes, triplexes, and multi-family as
permitted uses.
• Require properties with ADUs to have a deed restriction stating
that the owner must occupy the property.
• Create different standards for Attached and Detached ADUs.
• Change the wording of some standards for clarity.

zoning/building codes limiting number of ADUs, housing crisis, moving
faster/more efficiently on tools/strategies, similarities of the ADU
ordinance in comparison to the Off-Leash Dog Parks ordinance (complaint
generated/failure to enforce) , examining the effects of the ordinance
after a few years by requesting data from Planning, Permitting, and
Enforcement, amending the ordinance for community councils to be notified

the ordinance tonight, see how it took shape in the community, and

revisit it in 2-3 years . He said he thought the ordinance was a solid
piece of legislation, there were gaps which should be able to be better
addressed in a couple of years (with a clean-up bill) . He said this would
not fix the affordable housing issue in the community, but when there
was such a tight housing market, adding any units would inevitably help
bring down rents .
Councilmember Luke stated he would be voting against the
motion/ordinance . He said he agreed with Councilmember Kitchen' s comment
about spending a lot of time on this issue. He said he had been on the
City Council for over seven years and prior to that spent two years on
the Planning Commission and had talked about ADUs every one of those
years . He said he worked on this issue more than any other issue the
City had faced and still had questions about how this was going to be
enforced and the Administration had not responded. He said he had serious
concerns this ordinance was unenforceable and had the potential of
drastically changing the look and feel of neighborhoods .
Councilmember Johnston stated he was in favor of the ordinance but
not acting on it tonight. He said he wished to defer action to a future
Council meeting.
Councilmember Johnston offered a friendly amendment to the motion
and Councilmember Rogers second to close the public hearing and defer
action to a future Council meeting.
Councilmember Rogers said he felt the Council had been deliberate
in the discussions (trying to get answers) . He said he also wanted to
defer action to the next meeting. He said if this motion failed he would
still be in favor of adopting the ordinance and would vote in favor of
the original motion as well .
Councilmember Luke asked Councilmember Johnston (regarding the
substitute motion) if he intended to bring any changes to the ordinance
prior to consideration at the next meeting. Councilmember Johnston
replied no. He said any changes he brought would not be approved.
Councilmember Wharton asked if any Council Members intended to
submit changes to the ordinance between now and the next meeting. He
said public process was followed and two hearings had been held.
Councilmember Mendenhall asked if Councilmember Johnston wanted to
recall the substitute motion. Councilmember Johnston replied no. He said
he thought this would be deferred to ensure everything was done right
procedurally.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2018
Councilmember Mendenhall clarified that it was not improper to
suspend the rules and adopt an ordinance. She said the gap Councilmember
Kitchen mentioned in some of the ADU components was not for want of
research or lack of discussion.
Councilmember Rogers commented about the expense of outside ADU
developments and said those inside the home would be built first . He
said moving forward would show the type of developments being built and
where growth was taking place .
Councilmember Mendenhall commented the affordability component was
not about the ADU. She said it was about residents speaking to the loss
of character and stability in neighborhoods, people not able to age-in-
place on a fixed income, the growing cost of living, and families having
multi-generational housing.
Councilmember Mendenhall called for the question of the substitute
motion to close the public hearing and defer action to a future Council
meeting. A roll call vote was taken, which motion failed 4-2 . Council
Members Luke, Kitchen, Wharton, and Mendenhall voted nay. Council Members
Johnston and Rogers voted aye. Councilmember Fowler was absent.
Councilmember Mendenhall referred back to the original motion where
Councilmember Kitchen moved and Councilmember Wharton seconded to close
the public hearing, suspend the rules , and adopt Ordinance 53 of 2018 .
Councilmember Wharton said he was not in the ADU debate for nine
years but knew it was a big issue in last year' s election. He said
District 3 was one of the exempt neighborhoods, and walking the
district/talking door-to-door with people, there was a lot of support
among senior residents to be able to age-in-place . He said people who
put money, time, and heart into a neighborhood and wanted to stay in
that neighborhood should have the option to do so. He said he thought
the Avenues and others in District 3 were extremely cost prohibited. He
said pain staking efforts were made to try and address all of the problems
and he understood the enforcement issue remained. He also pointed out
that other cities addressing this issue had found a way to make it work
and deal with the enforcement issues . He said the conditional-use permit
also gave specific neighborhoods (Historic Districts) help to alleviate
problems that were raised. He said for these reasons he would be voting
yes .
Councilmember Mendenhall said this was the first body that was able
to come to a vote . She thanked the Council for all the hard work that
had gone into this issue .

#2 . Item Pulled. Setting the date of Tuesday, November 13, 2018 at
7 : 00 p.m. to accept public comment and consider an ordinance that would
put limitations on the sale of dogs, cats, and rabbits at commercial
animal establishments. The proposal would require these establishments
to obtain their dogs, cats, and rabbits from an animal shelter, animal
control agency, humane society or a non-profit rescue organization. These
restrictions are intended to reduce pet overpopulation and ensure animals
sold in commercial animal establishments are treated appropriately and
humanely. Within Utah, both Sandy City and Salt Lake County have passed
similar restrictions governing the sale of animals at commercial animal
establishments. View Attachments

ordinance amending various sections of Title 21A of the Salt Lake City
Code pertaining to regulation of inland port uses pursuant to Petition

applicable State agencies such as the Utah Department of Transportation,
and clarify requirements for bidders to certify and comply with the
ordinance, including having health insurance available for workers, and
penalties or consequences for failing to meet outlined requirements.
