The Council will consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the zoning of
properties at 724,728,732,738,744,750 and 754 East Bueno Avenue from SR-3
(Special Development Pattern Residential District)to RMF-45 (Moderate/High
Density Multi-Family Residential District).The applicant is proposing to amend
the Central Community Master Plan Future Land Use Map for the aforementioned
properties from Medium Density Residential to Medium High Density Residential.
The project proposes to consolidate 10 parcels and replace the existing structures
with two buildings:a single-story amenity building fronting 700 East and a 4-story
rooming (boarding)house on the interior of the site.The rooming house would
consist of 65 units ranging from 1 bedroom to 4-bedroom units.Consideration may

characteristics.Petition No.:PLNPCM2021-00048 and PLNPCM2021-00047

Staff Recommendation -Refer to motion sheet(s).
Motion:
Moved by Councilmember Wharton,seconded by Councilmember Faris to
adopt Ordinance 74 of 2021 subject to:
1.the property owner executing and recording in the Office of the Salt Lake County
Recorder a restrictive covenant that prohibits the rental or lease of any units or
rooms for periods less than 30 days,and
2.the property owner shall make best efforts to salvage building materials from the
existing dwellings and either reuse the materials themselves or donate them
I further move that the Council direct staff to draft a legislative intent in collaboration
with the Administration for review and consider adopting at a future Council meeting.
The purpose of the legislative intent would include,but not be limited to the following
purposes:
•Consider a policy that would outline Council expectations when considering
discretionary zoning applications in order to protect existing affordable housing or
replace it if it is demolished in order to facilitate new construction.
•Consider policies outlining steps the City could take to help preserve and expand
housing stock when considering zoning amendments.

•Consider including in the review of the housing loss mitigation being conducted by
the Administration,a policy to help mitigate the impact to existing naturally
occurring affordable housing either through preservation or replacement of
the units.

Final Result:6 –0 Pass
Minutes:
Council Member Wharton stated the rezone was only a beginning in the process to achieve
the Council and City’s goals for affordable housing.
Following the vote on the item,the Council held a 20-minute recess due to the unrest
created in the hallway by those in attendance regarding affordable housing measures.
2.Ordinance:Rezone at Redwood Road and Indiana Avenue
The Council will consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the zoning of
the properties at approximately 835 South Redwood Road and 1668 West Indiana
Avenue from R-1/5,000 (Single-Family Residential District)to R-MU-45
(Residential/Mixed Use District).The property at 1668 W Indiana currently
contains an individual single-family dwelling while the other property is vacant.
No specific site development proposal has been submitted at this time.The change
is consistent with changes identified in the Westside Master Plan which identified
the intersection of Redwood and Indiana as the location of a future Community
Node.The Master Plan is not being changed.Consideration may be given to
rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics.
