RE: Ordinance Amendment: Use of City Owned Vehicles by Employees
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Administration recommended an ordinance amendment that makes several changes to how employees may
take-home and use city owned vehicles. The ordinance mostly impacts public safety employees. While the take-
home vehicles are not part of the City’s compensation package, the changes could put the City in a more
competitive position for the recruitment of police officers, since take-home vehicles are a standard feature for
many other police departments. Greater use of city owned vehicles is likely to occur based on the changes. This
would result in a greater General Fund subsidy including some departments paying more in fuel and the Fleet
Division incurring maintenance costs and vehicle replacement costs sooner than would otherwise be the case.
The amendment also makes housekeeping changes to bring City Code in line with State law and some general
language clean up.
Expand Distance Limit from 35 Miles to 60 Miles; Increasing Costs to Fleet and Departments
The ordinance amendment increases the maximum distance from 35 miles to 60 miles from city limits. An
employee living more than 60 miles away could be allowed to use a city vehicle if the relevant department
director and mayor both waive the distance limit. The longer distance limit is believed to be inclusive of all
current City police officer’s primary residences.
Departments pay the Fleet Division for fuel and the increased distance limit may result in a greater amount of
total miles travels and therefore higher fuel billings for some departments to pay. The greater amount of mileage
on city owned vehicles means faster wear and tear which would require the Fleet Division to provide
maintenance at a faster pace. Vehicle replacements would also need to be done faster. Increased funding to the
Fleet Division may be needed to account for these shortened maintenance and replacement schedules. Specific
estimates on increase milage, maintenance, and replacement funding needs based on the ordinance changes
could be requested from the Administration.
Revise Personal Use of City Vehicles as determined by each Department
The ordinance amendments restrict personal use from within Salt Lake County and an employee’s home county
(current ordinance) to be limited within the employee’s standard commute. The shortest route from an
employee’s home to their primary place of employment determines their standard commute. Each department
would be tasked with setting allowable personal use distances beyond an employee’s residence and the standard
commute. There are also allowances for personal use by public safety employees subject to callback duty which
could improve operational readiness and response times. Another change allows employees to take-home a city
vehicle when emergencies or inclement weather cause dangerous circumstances. Employees are required to
obtain supplemental insurance coverage for personal vehicle use.
Project Timeline:
1st Briefing: April 19, 2022
2nd Briefing: May 3 (if needed)
Potential Action: May 3 or 17, 2022
Page | 2
Payments to City for Personal Use Not Updated in over a Decade
Per the current ordinance, an employee that lives outside of city limits makes biweekly payments for personal
use of the city owned vehicle. The cost as set in ordinance is $3 per mile. No payment is required for employees
that live within the City. A $6 per mile fee is required for use of a city owned vehicle to and from secondary
employment. Neither the $3 per mile fee for personal use nor the $6 per mile fee for secondary employee use
have been updated in over a decade. The two fees are not subject to the annual consumer price index (CPI)
inflation adjustment so the City subsidy has been increasing as purchasing power declines. In 2019, the Fleet
Advisory Committee estimated the following two subsidy scenarios:
a. If only counting fuel and maintenance costs, then the cost is currently split 50% City / 50% public safety
employee.
b. If also counting insurance, wear and tear caused by longer distance travel and vehicle replacement costs,
then the cost is currently split 80% City / 20% public safety employee.
Vehicle Location (GPS) Data and Compliance Monitoring
The Fleet Division will provide department directors with reports on how employees use a vehicle including GPS
data. The geofencing technology can send alerts when a vehicle leaves an employee’s predetermined personal
use area which each department would identify based on an employee’s standard commute and radius from
their home. Prior to use, an employee must acknowledge they have no expectation of privacy when using a city
owned vehicle. The Fleet Division has implemented the software platform to generate usage reports and alerts
based on location data. Supervisors in each department would need to be trained on how to setup, use, and
understand the reports. Some trainings have already occurred.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1.Balancing Hiring & Operational Readiness Goals with Budget Constraints – The Council
may wish to discuss with the Administration to what extent the proposed ordinance achieves the City’s
competing goals of reaching full staffing of police officers with whether it becomes prohibitive due to the
cost of increased funding for maintenance and replacement to ensure vehicles are safe and available
when employees need them.
2.Increase Vehicle Funding in FY2023 Annual Budget – The Council may wish to request that
increased funding be included in the Mayor’s Recommended Budget for FY2023 to account for
shortened vehicle maintenance and replacement schedules that may occur under the proposed
ordinance amendments.
3.Who should Evaluate Personal Use Fee and How Often – The Council may wish to discuss with
the Administration whether to keep the current ordinance language assigning annual fee evaluation
responsibilities with the Council or if that would better fit with another part of the City such as the Fleet
Division and/or the Finance Department? Historically, the Council has not consistently re-evaluated the
fee annually. The evaluation could be part of the Mayor’s Recommended Budget like other city fees
many of which are adjusted annually by the CPI.
4.Coordinating Citywide Fleet Policy and Departmental Policy – The Council may wish to ask
the Administration how the pending citywide policy for personal use of city owned vehicles will be
coordinated with each department creating a personal use policy. The ordinance amendments would
require employees to follow both sets of policies.
ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Comparison with other Law Enforcement Agencies
A few years ago, the City’s HR Department and the Fleet Division did an informal comparison to other law
enforcement agencies in the metropolitan area. They concluded the City’s take-home vehicle ordinance and
policies were about average with some municipalities more generous and others less so. However, the different
nuances of each agency’s take-home vehicle policies and the variation of compensation and benefit packages
prevented a direct “apples to apples” comparison.
Intangible Benefits
Intangible benefits are difficult to quantify such as perceptions of increased safety, deterrence effect of putting
more police vehicles in neighborhoods, improved operational readiness, and the convenience/time savings for
officers. Outside work hours most take-home vehicles are used outside Salt Lake City because most employees
live in other municipalities so the intangible benefits may be to residents in other cities.

$179,600 for Vehicle Telematics in FY2022 Annual Budget
The FY2022 annual budget includes $179,600 to purchase Global Positioning System (GPS) hardware for
General Fund vehicles. A few hundred vehicles in the City’s fleet have onboard sensors that allow the collection
of data such as speed, engine idling time, location, intensity of braking, fuel consumption and more. The data
provides insight into a vehicle’s health and driver’s behavior. The Fleet Division stated vehicle telematics can
improve safety, “minimize long-term equipment damage, reduce operational costs, such as fuel consumption,
and extend the maintenance intervals of heavy-wear parts like brakes and tires.” At last count, 762 General Fund
vehicles were equipped with the hardware and a few hundred more need it. This ongoing funding is sufficient to
cover the hardware costs for the remaining vehicles, upgrade to existing hardware to be compatible with 5G data
networks and ongoing maintenance.
Vehicle Storage at another Municipality’s Fire or Police Facility
The ordinance amendment includes the option for a take home vehicle for a public safety employee to be
securely parked at another municipality’s fire or police facility. This could be done daily if an employee lives
outside the 60-mile distance limit. The intention is for the employee to save time by not needing to drive to the
Public Safety Building or Pioneer Police Precinct to transfer from their personal vehicle to a city owned vehicle.
Liability Insurance
The ordinance amendment would remove the $200,000 minimum liability insurance the City provides and
instead use the amount required by Utah Code 63G-7-802 Liability Insurance – Government vehicles operated
by employees outside scope of employment. The City would cover liability up to the minimums set in state law.
Employees are required to obtain supplemental insurance coverage for personal use including passengers if any.
Misc. Info: Council Members may wish to note the following points:
- At last count, the City has 618 police vehicles with a replacement value of $28.4 million which is 43% of
all General Fund vehicles. The City also has 113 fire vehicles with a replacement value of $33.3 million
which is 8% of all General Fund vehicles. The fire vehicles are more expensive because they include large
engines and other specialty response vehicles.
- Public safety employees are required to keep an article of clothing and/or equipment in a city owned
vehicles used for personal use that clearly identifies them as public safety officers of Salt Lake City. This
preparation helps when an employee must respond to emergency situations or off duty deployments.
- Department heads are exempt from the fee and distance restrictions on city owned vehicles.
- The Fleet Division estimates the emergency proclamation suspending take-home fees for City vehicles
reduced revenue for fuel reimbursements by $453,704 in FY2021. This represented 16% of the fuel
revenue in the FY2021 adopted budget.

______________________________ Date Received:
Lisa Shaffer, Chief Administrative Officer
Date Sent to Council:
TO: DATE: December 21, 2021
FROM:
Salt Lake City Council Amy Fowler, Chair
Lisa Shaffer, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: An ordinance amending Sections 2.54.030 and 2.54.060 of the Salt Lake City Code
Pertaining to the Use of City Owned Motor Vehicles
STAFF CONTACTS: Rachel Otto, Mayor’s Office
Sara Montoya, Senior City Attorney
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the ordinance.
BUDGET IMPACT: Anticipated to be negligible. May result in some increased costs, but
will also decrease costs as a result of tighter “personal use” allowance.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In the face of increasing competition for qualified law enforcement officers across the state, as well
as feedback from the Police Department that the City’s current take-home vehicle ordinance was a
detractor from recruitment, the Mayor’s Office determined earlier this year to examine whether to
amend this ordinance. The proposed revision was created in conjunction with the Police
Department and Public Services. Below is a brief synopsis of the changes:
Limitations on personal use of vehicles: Previously, the ordinance permitted employees
to use city-owned vehicles for “reasonable personal use” within Salt Lake County and the
employee’s home county. The proposed changes have limited personal use to “reasonable
personal use within . . . the employee’s standard commute or related to a public safety
officer’s use of the vehicle while actively responsible for callback duty.” The purpose of this
change is to better tailor the policy to the intended benefits of taking home a vehicle,

including the benefit to the City of having public safety officers available for immediate
response when on callback duty, without accumulating excessive mileage or permitting
excessive personal use of the vehicles. The proposed ordinance includes procedures for
establishing the employee’s “standard commute,” and requires employees to first agree, in
writing, to comply with the ordinance, limit personal use, maintain the vehicle, and
acknowledge that there is no expectation of privacy their use of city vehicles. “Reasonable
personal use” will be further defined as per Fleet and Departmental policy.
Expanded eligibility radius for permitted take home use: The proposed ordinance
expands authorized take home use to any employee residing 60 miles or less from the city
limits, an increase from the current ordinance’s limit of 35 miles or less.. Additionally, the
proposed change permits exceptions to this radius requirement on a case-by-case basis, with
permission of the employee’s department director and the mayor. The primary purpose of
this change is to enable the City to recruit new public safety officers, as an increasing number
of recruits reside in communities surrounding the City, and public safety agencies in other
communities often have robust take home vehicle policies. The previous 35-mile limitation
seemed to arbitrarily cut employees living furthest from the city out of the policy (arguably
those most benefited from commuting in a city-owned vehicle). Additionally, this change
encourages more equity in the take home policy, as the previous ordinance permitted very
broad personal use for employees within Salt Lake County and their home county, while
other employees residing just a few miles outside of the limit were not permitted to even
commute in a city vehicle, even without personal use.
Reporting and enforceability: The proposed ordinance calls for Fleet to maintain a take
home vehicle policy and to provide department directors with access to geofencing
technology and telemetrics reports, allowing them to audit employees’ vehicle use. The Fleet
policy must also set forth procedures to address unauthorized use. These provisions are
intended to allow the City to monitor and enforce the terms of the ordinance.
Liability Insurance: Utah Code sets forth the insurance coverage a government entity must
carry to cover circumstances where a city employee is using a city vehicle outside the scope
of employment, with the express or implied consent of the city. The proposed amendments
bring the ordinance in line with the State Code minimum insurance requirements.
Cleanup: The proposed new ordinance re-structures the authorization provision and
removes some categories of authorization for simplification.
Emergency circumstances: The changes include new language permitting employees to
take home a vehicle when emergency circumstances make it difficult or unsafe for an
employee to return a vehicle at the end of their shift. This is intended to address
circumstances such as the protests in summer 2020 when public safety officers had to get
through demonstrators to gain access to the public safety building to pick up or return their
vehicles. This could also address inclement weather situations, such as snow storms, etc.

employee who disagrees with the determination of the city regarding that distance 130
calculation may appeal that determination to the employee's department head or 131
the department head's designee, pursuant to a process established by departmental 132
policy. Any department's policy shall require the employee to: 1) provide 133

Salt Lake City Council Amy Fowler, Chair
Lisa Shaffer, Chief Administrative Officer
SUBJECT: An ordinance amending Sections 2.54.030 and 2.54.060 of the Salt Lake City Code
Pertaining to the Use of City Owned Motor Vehicles
STAFF CONTACTS: Rachel Otto, Mayor’s Office
Sara Montoya, Senior City Attorney
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the ordinance.
BUDGET IMPACT: Anticipated to be negligible. May result in some increased costs, but
will also decrease costs as a result of tighter “personal use” allowance.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In the face of increasing competition for qualified law enforcement officers across the state, as well
as feedback from the Police Department that the City’s current take-home vehicle ordinance was a
detractor from recruitment, the Mayor’s Office determined earlier this year to examine whether to
amend this ordinance. The proposed revision was created in conjunction with the Police
Department and Public Services. Below is a brief synopsis of the changes:
Limitations on personal use of vehicles: Previously, the ordinance permitted employees
to use city-owned vehicles for “reasonable personal use” within Salt Lake County and the
employee’s home county. The proposed changes have limited personal use to “reasonable
personal use within . . . the employee’s standard commute or related to a public safety
officer’s use of the vehicle while actively responsible for callback duty.” The purpose of this
change is to better tailor the policy to the intended benefits of taking home a vehicle,

including the benefit to the City of having public safety officers available for immediate
response when on callback duty, without accumulating excessive mileage or permitting
excessive personal use of the vehicles. The proposed ordinance includes procedures for
establishing the employee’s “standard commute,” and requires employees to first agree, in
writing, to comply with the ordinance, limit personal use, maintain the vehicle, and
acknowledge that there is no expectation of privacy their use of city vehicles. “Reasonable
personal use” will be further defined as per Fleet and Departmental policy.
Expanded eligibility radius for permitted take home use: The proposed ordinance
expands authorized take home use to any employee residing 60 miles or less from the city
limits, an increase from the current ordinance’s limit of 35 miles or less.. Additionally, the
proposed change permits exceptions to this radius requirement on a case-by-case basis, with
permission of the employee’s department director and the mayor. The primary purpose of
this change is to enable the City to recruit new public safety officers, as an increasing
number of recruits reside in communities surrounding the City, and public safety agencies in
other communities often have robust take home vehicle policies. The previous 35-mile
limitation seemed to arbitrarily cut employees living furthest from the city out of the policy
(arguably those most benefitted from commuting in a city-owned vehicle). Additionally, this
change encourages more equity in the take home policy, as the previous ordinance permitted
very broad personal use for employees within Salt Lake County and their home county,
while other employees residing just a few miles outside of the limit were not permitted to
even commute in a city vehicle, even without personal use.
Reporting and enforceability: The proposed ordinance calls for Fleet to maintain a take
home vehicle policy and to provide department directors with access to geofencing
technology and telemetrics reports, allowing them to audit employees’ vehicle use. The Fleet
policy must also set forth procedures to address unauthorized use. These provisions are
intended to allow the City to monitor and enforce the terms of the ordinance.
Liability Insurance: Utah Code sets forth the insurance coverage a government entity must
carry to cover circumstances where a city employee is using a city vehicle outside the scope
of employment, with the express or implied consent of the city. The proposed amendments
bring the ordinance in line with the State Code minimum insurance requirements.
Cleanup: The proposed new ordinance re-structures the authorization provision and
removes some categories of authorization for simplification.
Emergency circumstances: The changes include new language permitting employees to
take home a vehicle when emergency circumstances make it difficult or unsafe for an
employee to return a vehicle at the end of their shift. This is intended to address
circumstances such as the protests in summer 2020 when public safety officers had to get
through demonstrators to gain access to the public safety building to pick up or return their
vehicles. This could also address inclement weather situations, such as snow storms, etc.

limits to the employee's homeresidence. Such distance shall be calculated using124
the shortest possible driving distance from the city limits to the residence as125
LEGISLATIVE DRAFT
evidenced by a commonly available internet or computer software program that 126
estimates distances using driving directions. The distance calculated by such 127
program shall be rounded to the nearest whole mile by calculating the mileage to 128
the hundredth of a mile and then applying standard rounding practices. An 129
employee who disagrees with the determination of the city regarding that distance 130
calculation may appeal that determination to the employee's department head or 131
the department head's designee, pursuant to a process established by departmental 132
policy. Any department's policy shall require the employee to: 1) provide 133
documentation supporting any disagreement with the distance determination of 134
the city, and 2) describe any action taken by the department regarding the matter. 135
The department shall maintain records regarding the appeal and shall make those 136

CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Allison Rowland
Budget & Policy Analyst
DATE:April 19, 2022
RE: INFORMATIONAL: STATUS UPDATE ON FOOTHILLS TRAIL SYSTEM
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
In a discussion of items included in Fiscal Year 2022 Budget Amendment #6 (BAM#6), the Council requested a
status update related to the Foothills Trail System from the Department of Public Lands. In response, the
Department provided information in a transmittal for the Council to consider as possibly fulfilling this request.
The Council could choose to schedule a vote on this matter if it decides that the request was fulfilled with this
information.
In brief, the Department of Public Lands reported the following in response to five specific parts of the Council’s
request:
-Plan implementation work completed or paused to date: Six trails have been completed and two are
“on pause” (Twin Peaks Trail and Dry Creek Trail).
-Overview of the funds and projects that are on hold per the annual budget contingency: $328,556.
-Status of the independent audit / professional review of trails and timeline for the resulting written
evaluation report: An environmental consultant was hired, and this analysis should be complete in
August 2022. For the Trails Plan and Construction Evaluation, the Department canceled a first RFP and
rewrote a new one to update and add items. They expect to issue it in April 2022.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: April 19, 2022
Set Date: n/a
Public Hearing: n/a
Potential Action: TBD
Page | 2
-Additional public engagement conducted or planned: The Department plans to hire a consultant for
this task once the trails consultant is hired.
-How the five new trailheads requesting funding in Budget Amendment #6 relate to the pause in
work from the annual budget contingency: Trailhead projects would begin with public engagement
and design work during the coming year, with construction beginning no sooner than Spring, 2023. The
Department notes that the Council could place a restriction on this funding to impose a “no
construction” clause until the FY2022 budget contingency requirements are met.
The Department of Public Lands also stated that while the pause on trail construction continues, it will focus on
building trust within the community through conservation of the natural lands and promoting responsible and
sustainable trail use.
Goal of the briefing: Review information provided by the Department of Public Lands and consider
whether to: 1) schedule a vote on related items pending from FY22 Budget Amendment #6 (this would allow
the Department to go forward with the State grant for trailheads); 2) approve the Department’s
recommendations for next steps, which appear in section E below.
ADDITIONAL AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A.Responses to Council request for information. In a transmittal received by the Council Office on
March 18, the Department of Public Lands provided the following information in response to topics
requested by the Council in the March 22 discussion of BA#6. (Department of Public Lands responses in
blue font below.)
1.Plan implementation work completed or paused to date.
Phase 1 Trails Plan Implementation
Trails Fully Completed:
- Popperton Trails,
- Lower City Creek Loop,
- Avenues Ridge Trail,
- 19th Ave Trail,
- BST Valleyview (partial re-alignment),
- BST East City Creek
Trails Partially Completed and on pause: Twin Peaks Trail 75% complete.
Trails in Phase 1 not started and on pause: Dry Creek Trail 0% Complete
2.Overview of the funds and projects that are on hold per the annual budget
contingency.
Phase I Trails Plan Implementation Funding on Hold per Budget Contingency
Total Appropriation:
- Grant Funding: $250,000
- City Funding: $ 901,027
Funds Expended:
- Grant Funding: $250,000
Page | 3
- City Funding: $347,088
Funds Reallocated for Phase 1 Review: $225,383
Funds on Pause: $ 328,556
3.Status of the independent audit / professional review of trails and timeline for the
resulting written evaluation report.
-Environmental Analysis: Scope of Work was finalized and contracted with SWCA
Environmental Consultants in November 2021. Work for the Environmental Analysis
commenced in January 2022 and is anticipated to be complete in August 2022.
-Trails Plan & Construction Evaluation: Request For Proposals (RFP) submissions
were due in January 2022, but there was consensus from the selection committee that the
RFP and the proposals received did not adequately represent the evolving needs based on
unforeseen factors and an expanded scope of work. Salt Lake City Public Lands has
canceled this first RFP and has rewritten a new RFP to update the desired specifications
and scope of work to include a deeper evaluation of the Trails Plan itself and add the
creation of an addendum to the Trails Plan that will include a land conservation and trail
maintenance plan and updated alignment recommendations for Phase II and III. This will
provide us with the evaluation, recommendations, and documentation that will be pertinent
for the responsible and sustainable management of the Foothills Natural Area. We expect to
issue a new RFP by April 2022 and anticipate this work to continue through 2022 and be
completed in spring of 2023.
4.Additional public engagement conducted or planned.
Communications Consultant: Selection and timeline is yet to be decided, based on
preceding consultants’ timelines.
5.How the five new trailheads requesting funding in Budget Amendment #6 relate to
the pause in work from the annual budget contingency.
During the Budget Amendment Approval Process Council has requested clarification on
whether funding for the Foothills Trailhead Improvements is included in the “conditional
appropriation about future dollars spent on foothill trails.”
The conditional appropriation about future funding spent on foothill trails was primarily related
to the “construction, modification and decommissioning of trails built under the Foothills Trail
System Master Plan.” The grant funding requested would fund public engagement and design
work of five trailhead projects, in the urban zone, in the first twelve months, with construction
planned no earlier than spring of 2023. Council could place a restriction on this funding to
impose a no construction clause until the FY2022 budget contingency requirements are met.
If constructed, the new trailheads would provide full-service amenities that include parking;
comfort stations/restrooms at Bonneville Blvd and Popperton and; wayfinding, kiosks, and
interpretive signage to promote safe recreation and conservation of natural lands; and minor
trail work to connect the trailheads to the BST.
B.Additional Information from the Department.
Page | 4
In FY 21 the City Council allocated $193,336 for design of five trailheads identified in the Foothills Trail
System Plan. These locations included:
1. Bonneville Boulevard near City Creek Canyon and Utah State Capitol,
2. Emigration Canyon near This Is The Place Heritage Park,
3. Popperton Park near the University of Utah,
4. 18th Avenue in the upper Avenues neighborhood, and
5. Victory Road northwest of the Utah State Capitol.
C.Background: In FY22 Budget Amendment #6, the Administration included a grant awarded by the Utah
Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity for the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, which is part of the City’s
Foothills Trail System.
1. The February 1 staff report described the issue as follows:
E-4: State of Utah, Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity, Bonneville
Shoreline Trail Grant
The Salt Lake City Department of Public Lands received $1,300,000 for the Foothills Natural
Area & Bonneville Shoreline Trailhead Infrastructure Improvements. The project proposes to
construct five public access trailheads along the stretch of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail that
runs through the Salt Lake City foothills between Emigration Canyon and Davis County.
Proposed trailhead locations are: 1) Bonneville Boulevard near City Creek Canyon and Utah
State Capitol, 2) Emigration Canyon near This Is The Place Heritage Park, 3) Popperton Park
near the University of Utah, 4) 18th Avenue in the upper Avenues neighborhood, and 5)
Victory Road northwest of the Utah State Capitol. This grant has a match requirement of
$1,300,000. Parks & Public Lands has committed matching funds is from parks impact fees
adopted in FY 2022 Capital Improvement Program for the Foothills Trailhead Development
Phase II.
The $2.6 million total project funding will fully cover construction costs at all five locations
based on current plans and estimates. Note: This funding is not subject to the FY2022 annual
budget adoption ordinance contingency on all Foothill trails funding because this project is
constructing trailhead infrastructure.
Policy Question:
Pausing Trail Construction and Building Trailhead Infrastructure – The Council may
wish to ask the Administration how this relates to the pause in work relating to the
Foothills Trails Plan.
2. The March 22 Update to the BA #6 staff report added this:
E-4: State of Utah, Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity, Bonneville
Shoreline Trail Grant ($1.3 million), and,
I-2: Rescope $1.3 Million of Parks Impact Fees as Match to State Grant for Five
New Foothills Trailheads (Budget Neutral)
Page | 5
The deadline for the City to use the grant funding for item E-4 if June 30, 2023. The
Department is requesting an extension from the State since the timeline for the capital
improvements will likely exceed the current deadline. The Council requested a briefing on the
Foothill Trails System Plan implementation status from the Parks and Public Lands
Department before considering votes on items E-4 and I-2, in which case, the Council may
wish to continue holding this item open until further discussion can take place. Some specific
topics Council Members mentioned for the briefing include:
-Plan implementation work completed or paused to date
-Overview of the funds and projects that are on hold per the FY2022 annual budget
contingency
-Status of the independent audit / professional review of trails and timeline for the
resulting written evaluation report
-Additional public engagement conducted or planned
-How the five new trailheads requesting funding in Budget Amendment #6 relates to
the pause in work from the annual budget contingency
D.Department Next Steps.
2022 Goal: Building Trust not Trails
Given the continued pause on trail construction of the Foothills Trail System Plan, Salt Lake City Public
Lands will focus our Foothills work on building trust within the community by supporting the
conservation of the natural lands and promoting responsible and sustainable trail use. These plans
include:
Rehabilitate Trench above Terrace Hills: Announce our plans to actively rehabilitate the damage
and get input on an updated plan for this specific segment.
-Repair damage by the cut trenches in 2021 by filling with the removed soil and rehabilitating
ridgeline.
-Work with local natural lands managers and botanists to design a plan for re-seeding and
revegetation of the rehabbed trenches and the areas of legacy trail with excessive deterioration.
-Work with our trail design consultant on an identified legacy trail alignment that is in line with
industry standards with significant input from the Parks, Natural Lands, Urban Forest and Trails
Advisory Board.
-Review proposal with key community stakeholders (Save our Foothills, SLC Trails Alliance, others)
for input.
-Present proposal to Mayor; submit briefing to City Council.
-Ensure proposal is communicated effectively with appropriate signage and fencing at the route
access points and through various communication channels including community councils and
social media.
Maintenance of Trail Network: Utilizing internal staff and volunteers, use hand tools to maintain
the City-built section of Foothills trails that experience erosion due to water flow, sediment and
vegetation failure. Without seasonal care, public safety for trail users is compromised and further
deterioration of the natural environment may occur.
-Current Needs: BST East City Creek and Lower City Creek Loop trails need revegetation and
stabilization efforts and on back slopes (to be completed by staff); Lower City Creek Loop needs trail
surface repair from two separate Public Utilities pipe leaks (to be completed by external
professionals in conjunction with pipe and road repairs); 19th Ave needs seasonal bike feature
Page | 6
maintenance, and all trails need seasonal loose debris clearance on trails for public safety
(volunteers and staff).
-Promotion of Sustainable Trail Culture: Salt Lake City Public Lands will work with our
internal communications team and communications consultant to positively promote sustainable
trail culture with guidelines regarding e-mountain bikes, dogs in natural areas, and trail use
etiquette to help protect our environment using trail signage, social media and online updates, and
trailhead events hosted by staff and our Trail Ambassadors.
E.Department Recommendations. In the March 22 transmittal, the Department of Public Lands made
the following Recommendations to the Council that would allow the Department to proceed on the path
described above:

BUDGET IMPACT: $1,300,000 State of Utah, Governor’s office of Economic
Opportunity, Bonneville Shoreline Trail Grant
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In FY 21 the City Council allocated $193,336 for design of five trailheads identified in the Foothills
Trail System Plan. These locations included:
1. Bonneville Boulevard near City Creek Canyon and Utah State Capitol,
2. Emigration Canyon near This Is The Place Heritage Park,
3. Popperton Park near the University of Utah,
4. 18th Avenue in the upper Avenues neighborhood, and

5. Victory Road northwest of the Utah State Capitol.
Conceptual Design work commenced in 2021 and draft concepts were completed later that year.
Following completion of the initial concept designs, Salt Lake City Public Lands requested full
design and construction funding during the FY 22 CIP process. The City Council allocated partial
funding of $1.3 million for design and construction of two trailheads located at Emigration
Canyon and Bonneville Blvd. Public Lands then used these City dollars to request matching funds
from the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity in the amount of $1.3 million to
complete all five proposed trailhead improvements. Combined, these funding sources provide
funding for completion of public engagement, construction design and construction at all five
proposed trailhead locations. Design is would occur in 2022 with anticipated construction
occurring in late 2023.
While trailheads and access points are mentioned in the Foothills Trail System Plan, they also
benefit the urban interface and public safety and do not involve construction, modification, or
decommissioning of trails. Public Lands would like to seek approval from Council that planning,
design, and community engagement of the five Foothill Trailheads proceed. Trailhead
construction will be on hold until the formal pause is lifted on implementation of the Foothills
Trail System Plan.
Budget Amendment Approval Language
During the Budget Amendment Approval Process Council has requested clarification on whether
funding for the Foothills Trailhead Improvements is included in the “conditional appropriation
about future dollars spent on foothill trails.”
The conditional appropriation about future funding spent on foothill trails was primarily related
to the “construction, modification and decommissioning of trails built under the Foothills Trail
System Master Plan.” The grant funding requested would fund public engagement and design
work of five trailhead projects, in the urban zone, in the first twelve months, with construction
planned no earlier than spring of 2023. Council could place a restriction on this funding to
impose a no construction clause until the FY2022 budget contingency requirements are met.
If constructed, the new trailheads would provide full-service amenities that include parking;
comfort stations/restrooms at Bonneville Blvd and Popperton and; wayfinding, kiosks, and
interpretive signage to promote safe recreation and conservation of natural lands; and minor trail
work to connect the trailheads to the BST.

Independent Audit/Professional Review
• Environmental Analysis: Scope of Work was finalized and contracted with SWCA
Environmental Consultants in November 2021. Work for the Environmental Analysis
commenced in January 2022 and is anticipated to be complete in August 2022.
• Trails Plan & Construction Evaluation: Request For Proposals (RFP) submissions
were due in January 2022, but there was consensus from the selection committee that the
RFP and the proposals received did not adequately represent the evolving needs based on
unforeseen factors and an expanded scope of work. Salt Lake City Public Lands has
canceled this first RFP and has rewritten a new RFP to update the desired specifications
and scope of work to include a deeper evaluation of the Trails Plan itself and add the
creation of an addendum to the Trails Plan that will include a land conservation and trail
maintenance plan and updated alignment recommendations for Phase II and III. This
will provide us with the evaluation, recommendations, and documentation that will be
pertinent for the responsible and sustainable management of the Foothills Natural Area.
We expect to issue a new RFP by April 2022 and anticipate this work to continue through
2022 and be completed in spring of 2023.
• Communications Consultant: Selection and timeline is yet to be decided, based on
preceding consultants’ timelines.
• Pause Extension: With the required environmental review and Phase I evaluation not
complete and likely to continue throughout 2022, Public Lands would like to formally
propose to extend the pause on trail construction until the Spring of 2023, when we have
completed our preliminary environmental review and the phase I evaluation.
PUBLIC PROCESS: See above Communications Consultant.

NEXT STEPS:
2022 Goal: Building Trust not Trails
Given the continued pause on trail construction of the Foothills Trail System Plan, Salt Lake City
Public Lands will focus our Foothills work on building trust within the community by supporting
the conservation of the natural lands and promoting responsible and sustainable trail use. These
plans include:
Rehabilitate Trench above Terrace Hills: Announce our plans to actively rehabilitate the
damage and get input on an updated plan for this specific segment.
• Repair damage by the cut trenches in 2021 by filling with the removed soil and
rehabilitating ridgeline.
• Work with local natural lands managers and botanists to design a plan for re-seeding and
revegetation of the rehabbed trenches and the areas of legacy trail with excessive
deterioration.
• Work with our trail design consultant on an identified legacy trail alignment that is in line
with industry standards with significant input from the Parks, Natural Lands, Urban
Forest and Trails Advisory Board.
• Review proposal with key community stakeholders (Save our Foothills, SLC Trails
Alliance, others) for input.
• Present proposal to Mayor; submit briefing to City Council.
• Ensure proposal is communicated effectively with appropriate signage and fencing at the
route access points and through various communication channels including community
councils and social media.
Maintenance of Trail Network: Utilizing internal staff and volunteers, use hand tools to
maintain the City-built section of Foothills trails that experience erosion due to water flow,
sediment and vegetation failure. Without seasonal care, public safety for trail users is
compromised and further deterioration of the natural environment may occur.
• Current Needs: BST East City Creek and Lower City Creek Loop trails need
revegetation and stabilization efforts and on back slopes (to be completed by staff); Lower
City Creek Loop needs trail surface repair from two separate Public Utilities pipe leaks (to
be completed by external professionals in conjunction with pipe and road repairs); 19th
Ave needs seasonal bike feature maintenance, and all trails need seasonal loose debris
clearance on trails for public safety (volunteers and staff).
Promotion of Sustainable Trail Culture: Salt Lake City Public Lands will work with our
internal communications team and communications consultant to positively promote sustainable
trail culture with guidelines regarding e-mountain bikes, dogs in natural areas, and trail use
etiquette to help protect our environment using trail signage, social media and online updates,
and trailhead events hosted by staff and our Trail Ambassadors.

City Council Staff
DATE:April 19, 2022
RE: Budget Amendment Number Seven FY2022
________________________________________________________________________________
Budget Amendment Number Seven includes 25 proposed amendments and requested changes to eight funds. Total
expenditures coming from Fund Balance are $843,298. The Council may wish to note that the Administration is
proposing to add one ongoing IMS FTE using Fund Balance initially; although actual costs will be allocated
proportionally across all funds based on usage. If all the items are adopted as proposed, then Fund Balance would
be $45,405,201 above the 13% minimum target established by the Council in FY2020.
The increase is a result of higher-than-expected revenues and unspent funds dropping to Fund Balance at the end of
FY2021 as confirmed by the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The Finance Department will be
available at the briefing to provide a more detailed revenues update as summarized in the table later in this report.
Inflation Impacts for Upcoming FY2023 Annual Budget
Although there are positive revenue and fund balance reports, staff wanted to mention that there will likely be
several inflationary impacts that may offset that positive news. Some departments have mentioned they expect
significant cost increases for existing services and contract renewals as part of the upcoming FY2023 annual budget.
In addition, the CIP Cost Overrun Account is less able to offset project cost increases in response to pandemic-
related construction supplies inflation so either project scopes are reduced, or additional funding may be needed.
The FY2022 annual budget included significant use of one-time funding for ongoing expenses which will need to
have ongoing revenue identified in future fiscal years to continue those programs, services, and FTEs.
Project Timeline:
Set Date: April 19, 2022
1st Briefing: April 19, 2022
2nd Briefing: May 3, 2022 (if needed)
Public Hearing: May 3, 2022

Revenue for FY2022 Budget Adjustments
The following chart shows a current projection of General Fund revenue for Fiscal Year 2022. The Finance
Department will be available at the briefing to review individual revenue line-item changes.
According to the Administration, revenues for Fiscal Year 2021 were better than expected, while projections for
Fiscal Year 2022 continue to trend above budget. The City is forecasting increases in most categories. Sales tax for
the first quarter was well above budget and the prior year. However, franchise tax is lagging below budget from a
decrease in water franchise ($704,000) and telephone ($218,000) franchise taxes. Licenses and Permits is coming
in very strong. Licenses are above budget driven by increases in airport parking taxes and innkeepers tax. The City
continues to see positive construction numbers leading permits to remain very strong with increases in plan check
fees and building permits. Field reservations, land leases and building leases are leading to an increase in Charges,
Fees, and Rentals. Miscellaneous revenue is seeing an increase in fuel reimbursement and other utility
reimbursements. These are offset by special event revenue due to a continued decrease of in-person events in the
City. Fines and Forfeitures are below budget from a decrease in moving violations and justice court fines. Interfund
Reimbursement is below budget due to fire reimbursement from the airport which should show an increase next
fiscal year.

Fund Balance
The Administration’s chart below shows the current General Fund Balance figures.
If all items proposed in Budget Amendment Number 7 are adopted by the Council, then Fund Balance above the
13% minimum target is $45,405,201.
Impact Fees Update
The Administration provided a summary of impact fee tracking, details on refunding amounts and dates and lists of
unfinished projects with impact fee funding. The information is current as of March 16, 2022. As a result, the City is
on-track with impact fee budgeting to have no refunds during all FY2022 and FY2023. The Administration reports
work is nearing completion to update the fire and parks sections of the impact fee plan. The transportation section
was updated last year. Eligible projects for police impact fees are being identified.

Section A: New Items
(note: to expedite the processing of this staff report, staff has included the Administration’s descriptions from the
transmittal for some of these items)
A-1: Open Space Acquisition – Public Lands ($700,000 from Parks Impact Fees)
Public Lands is requesting an FY2022 budget amendment for $700,000 in unallocated parks impact fees funding to
acquire property to be preserved as open space. Details on the specific property will be discussed in a Council closed
session meeting. If the Council approves this funding request, then the available to spend balance of parks impact
fees would be $12,556,676.
A-2: Cottonwood Park Bridge Rebuild ($195,000 from Public Lands Department Vacancy Savings –
Budget Neutral)
The Public Lands Department is requesting a budget amendment of $195,000 to transfer general funds to POL CIP
deferred maintenance fund. On November 6th, a windstorm upturned a large tree on top of the pedestrian bridge
by Cottonwood Dog Park. This bridge is the main access for the dog park for residents over the Jordan River. A
structural engineer has deemed that one side of the bridge can remain open to pedestrians to allow access. The
engineer has also determined the bridge stability has been compromised to a level that it is unsafe for Parks vehicles
to travel over this bridge, inhibiting maintenance vehicles from crossing.
One of the two supporting braces on the bridge has been crushed and so the bridge can handle light pedestrian
traffic but no vehicle use. The structural engineer determined that the cost of replacement of the brace is as much as
the replacement of the bridge. Parks staff have barricaded the damaged side of the bridge to keep pedestrians away
from the broken area for now. The bridge needs to be replaced as soon as possible as it is unclear how weather and
use of the bridge may impact the bridge stability. Public Lands will continue to monitor the bridge safety until it can
be replaced. Public Lands is proposing to use anticipated year-end savings as a source of funding for this bridge
reconstruction. The funds would be transferred from Public Lands to the CIP Maintenance Fund.
Absent this pedestrian bridge, residents living west of the river and parks maintenance crews would need to take a
detour more than a third of a mile to the nearest alternative crossing over the Jordan River.
A-3: UDOT Pass-through Funds for RAC Access Road ($1 million from UDOT)
In 2021, Utah State Legislature Senate Bill 3 allocated funds for a road connecting Rose Park Lane to Redwood
Road at 2600 North. This would be a new city-owned road. An agreement between UDOT and the City has
been executed for the City to receive the funds and to manage the project design and the funds have already been
transferred. The funding is limited to design, environmental work, and land acquisition. Additional funding would
be needed for construction.
Policy Questions:
Total Project Cost – The Council may wish to ask the Administration what is the total project cost and if
additional State funding is anticipated to be available for construction.
Demand for the Road – The Council may wish to ask the Administration what level of demand exists
currently for this new road and projected in the future.
New Bridge over the Jordan River – The Council may wish to ask the Administration if the new road will
require a new bridge over the Jordan River.
A-4: WITHDRAWN
A-5: Road Cost Center Adjustments for Class C Funds (Rescope $611,749 from 1300 East
Reconstruction to 900 South Reconstruction)
The Administration is requesting a rescope of Class C (gas tax) funding that remains after completion of the 1300
East reconstruction project. UDOT confirmed they have sufficient funding to cover close out costs. The funding
would be rescoped for use on the 900 South corridor reconstruction project including improvements to the 9-Line
Trail. The corridor project consolidates 10 individual projects across multiple departments over a few years.
Page | 5
Policy Question:
9-Line Trail and 900 South Reconstruction Fully Funded – The Council may wish to ask the Administration
are the multiple consolidated projects along 900 South fully funded?
A-6: Leonardo Flood Damage Repair ($300,000 from Fund Balance)
A rainstorm in July last year caused flooding in the sub-basement, basement and the two elevators. Sewage
impacted both the Library and The Leonardo after the City’s main drain suffered a backup. The Administration
reports the fundamental drainage problem has been addressed. Most of the funding estimated at $200,000 would
be for cleaning, demolition, and disposal. The remaining $100,000 is for construction and replacements. Damaged
areas that would be repaired include four restrooms, a mezzanine, several offices, the elevator shafts, and the cabs.
Repairs also include lighting, plumbing, furniture, flooring and sump pumps. These repairs are the City’s
responsibility under the primary lease between the City and The Leonardo. The areas to be repaired are part of the
sub-lease to Ken Sanders Rare Books which the Council approved in December.
A-7: IMS Cyber Security Portfolio Expansion ($713,680 from Fund Balance)
Due to increased computer security risks, the Administration is requesting funding toward improved security
software, licenses, and one new FTE for staffing needs. The breakdown includes:
$500,000 for security software, called Security Incident and Event Management (SIEM)
$75,000 for security assessments, such as penetration tests and vulnerability scans
$65,800 for 1,000 additional licenses for laptop and PC devices
$47,805 for device software
$25,075 for one new staff person through the end of the fiscal year (this will make four cyber security
engineer positions)
Some of these items are initial expenses for the purchases, but the ongoing costs will include approximately
$250,000 for the SEIM ongoing expenses, and $150,445 for the fully loaded cost (salary and benefits) for the new
cyber security FTE position. These ongoing costs will be requested for inclusion in the annual budget. The initial
budget comes from the General Fund to the IMS Fund but will also be allocated to the separate enterprise funds as
usual.

D-1: Youth & Family, Salt Lake County Central City Damages Payment ($37,892 from General Fund)
Youth and Family has partnered with Salt Lake County at the Central City Recreation Center since 2003 to provide
youth and teen programs. Salt Lake City has provided staffing and purchased program supplies and furnishings
while Salt Lake County has provided the space to operate the programs. In March 2020 all in-person Youth and
Family programming was halted. The County then contracted with the Salt Lake County Health Department to
provide a space for homeless individuals who were Covid positive but did not need hospitalization. The health
department moved out after a few months and the Center sat empty. Shortly thereafter, the Center was broken into
and as a result sustained significant damage to the building and interior contents including a good portion of the
equipment and furnishings that the City had paid for. This settlement payment of $37,892 is a reimbursement for
the damaged equipment and supplies.
D-2: WITHDRAWN
Page | 6
D-3: UTA Sponsored Routes – Encumbrance Carryforward ($184,259 from General Fund)
During encumbrance carry forwards Finance forgot to include the remaining encumbrance from FY 2021 in the
amount of $184,259 to cover the contract cost.
D-4: Wildland Deployment Reimbursements ($653,571 from General Fund)
Personnel were deployed several times during the Summer of 2021 to assist in wildland firefighting. Beginning in
July, the Fire Department sent 6 individuals to Montana. Another crew of 3 were then sent to California in August
and fulfilled a 2-week deployment. A third crew of 6 were then sent to swap them out at the end of August and
continued wildland duties into September. All costs associated with these deployments will be reimbursed to Salt
Lake City and will have a matching revenue offset budget. The Administration is asking the City Council to approve
this request to offset personnel costs that include overtime, benefits, and backfill. This proposal will make the Fire
Department whole as well as the General Fund.
Expenses Montana Wildfire - July 2021 $270,921
California Wildfire - August 2021 $126,693
California Wildfire - Aug/Sept 2021 $255,957
Total Expense Incurred $653,571
D-5: Fire Department – Other Reimbursements ($21,896 from General Fund)
The Fire Department has provided several services in which it expects to receive a reimbursement including
training backfill costs incurred on behalf of Utah Search and Rescue (USAR), Fire investigation overtime incurred
on behalf of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), and finally cost recovery efforts from
negligent accidents/incidents. This will have a matching revenue offset budget.
Utah Search and Rescue (USAR) Training/Backfill $2,936.37
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) Reimbursement $10,777.24
Cost Recovery: Incline Terrace Apartments - requested Fire Watch $6,432.00
Swift Water Rescue & Recovery on 12/11/21 $1,749.98
Total Reimbursement $21,895.59
D-6: Remove Transfers for ARPA Funding ($1,508,000 from General Fund)
To ensure compliance with federal reporting all grant related expenses will remain in the grant fund. In BA#4 the
Administration proposed transferring ARPA funds to the General Fund and the Fleet Fund. This amendment is to
remove those transfers in the General Fund.
D-7: 700 South Corridor Preservation Funds Reimbursement ($611,500 from CIP Fund)
In March 2021 an administrative transmittal was sent to Council to enter into an Interlocal agreement with Salt
Lake County for reimbursement of land purchase for the 700 South construction project. Salt Lake City Council
approved the Interlocal Agreement with Salt Lake County on April 20, 2021, to transfer the funds to the City. Funds
of $611,500 have been received and are needed to complete the project.
D-8: Transfer to Sustainability ($440,000 from General Fund)
During the FY2022 budget the Administration and Council were briefed that a transfer of $440,000 would be made
from the General Fund to the Sustainability Fund. This transfer was not included in the budget adoption; this
amendment formalizes that transfer.
D-9: Public Utilities Revenue Bonds ($874,000 – Sewer and $234,000 – Water)
In order to adequately finance the construction of the new Water Reclamation Facility and to lock in a favorable
interest rate, the Sewer and Water Utilities are planning to issue Revenue Bonds in June 2022 instead of two
separate issuances in FY 2022 and FY 2023.
D-10: Police Budget Reallocation for Workers Compensation ($199,500 from General Fund)
The Police Department is requesting a change in budget to cover the costs associated with a workers compensation
settlement. The Department will utilize attrition from vacant positions that have not been filled to fund the expense.
No additional budget is being requested.
Page | 7
D-11: Community Connection Center (CCC) Supplies and Tenant Improvements ($482,809 from
Police Department Vacancy Savings – Budget Neutral)
The Council approved $200,000 in the FY2022 annual budget that was intentionally flexible for lease payments,
repairs and/or remodeling. The funding was later rescoped in a budget amendment to also include utility payments.
A lease has been signed for a new CCC location and $167,000 is encumbered under the contract for rent and utility
payments. The remaining $33,000 is being used for building improvements but is only enough to cover 10% of the
$320,459 estimated cost. Improvements include security upgrades, wifi, network connectivity, electrical wiring as
well as moving / relocation costs.
The Administration is also requesting $90,000 to the Fleet Fund for two response vehicles, $52,800 for uniforms,
radios, and other equipment, $52,550 is also requested to IMS for computers, mobile data terminals, licensing,
trainings, and related equipment. All the funding would come out of the Police Department’s existing budget from
vacancy savings.
The CCC is currently operating out of the Public Safety Building which limits the ability to offer in-person services.
The CCC new location was expected to open in spring or summer 2022, however, supply chain delays may push
back the date to the fall.
Policy Questions:
Impact Fee Eligibility – The Council may wish to ask the Administration to evaluate this ongoing leasing
cost for impact fee eligibility as part of updating the police section of the City’s Impact Fees Plan. This could
be like the City’s crime lab lease being partially eligible under a prior version of the plan.
CCC Staffing Update – The Council may wish to ask the Administration for an update on efforts to bring the
CCC to full staffing of 19 social worker FTEs, and what additional resources could help address the
program’s obstacles.
Public Awareness of New Location – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration how the
public, clients and service providers will learn about the new CCC location.
D-12: Central Business Improvement Area (CBIA) ($500,000 from Misc. Special Services)
The Administration is requesting the approval of a budget to collect new CBIA-22 assessment and pay contractual
obligations to the Downtown Alliance Inc. The current assessment area CBIA-19 expires April 21, 2022. The City
Council re-established a special assessment CBIA-22 for a three-year period to continue collection of assessment
funds and allow the continuation of marketing, promotion, advocacy and other benefits to the City and downtown
property owners and businesses. The new assessment ordinance was adopted and bills to the property owners will
go out in the beginning of April 2022.
This item would create a revenue budget of $1,770,813 to accept the first-year payments from property owners
which are due May 6 and create a $500,000 expenditure budget for Special Assessment Area (SAA) initial costs and
the first payment to the contractor (Downtown Alliance).
D-13: Police Department Mobile Surveillance Trailer Cameras ($383,160 from Police Department
Vacancy Savings – Budget Neutral)
See Attachment 1 for photos of trailer cameras
The Administration is requesting approval to use vacancy savings to purchase eight additional mobile surveillance
trailer cameras for the Police Department. There are currently six trailer cameras used by the Department. This
funding would allow two trailer cameras to be placed in each Council District. The trailer cameras are placed on
public property and occasionally on private property with the owner’s permission for case-specific needs. See
Attachment 1 for images of trailer cameras the Department currently uses which are solar powered, the camera
extends vertically above the trailer and multiple cameras point in different directions.
Policy Questions:
Placement of Trailer Cameras – The Council may wish to ask the Administration where trailer cameras are
most effective and how the Department prioritizes where to locate them.
Page | 8
Privacy Considerations – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration privacy considerations
from placing cameras around the City and what protections exist for the resulting audio and video data.
Trailer Camera vs Pole Cameras – The Council may wish to ask the Administration why trailer cameras are
preferable to pole cameras which can be installed on streetlights in the public right of way.
D-14: Housing Trust Fund Transfer to RDA ($2,800,000 from Housing)
As requested by Council, this budget amendment transfers the Housing Trust Fund loans and associated cash to the
RDA. The $2,800,000 amount on the budget amendment is to move the cash in the current Housing Trust Fund
cost centers to the RDA. Approximately $20 million of loan receivables will also be transferred. As these are balance
sheet accounts, they do not affect budgets. Any remaining balance sheet items and cash that comes in will
subsequently be transferred to the RDA. A separate agreement between the RDA and the Community and
Neighborhoods Development Department will be completed after this budget amendment is approved by the
Council for the loans and deeds of trust to also be transferred.
Section E: Grants Requiring No New Staff Resources
E-1: State of Utah, Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget, Granary District Flood Plain Mitigation
($2 million from CIP Fund and $2,238,000 from Miscellaneous Grants Fund)
The Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities received $2,000,000 for the Granary District Flood Plain
Mitigation and Re-Mapping. Granary District Floodplain Mitigation and Re-Mapping is a phased planning,
permitting, and capital improvement project to reduce the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) designated
750-acre Flood Hazard Area (FHA) concentrated in the Granary District and the adjacent stretch of the Jordan
River. There are at least 1,182 properties partially or completely within the FHA. The flood hazard risk is substantial
and limits new development. The project area is approximately 5,700 acres. The project under this Agreement will
only cover Phase 1 for planning, design, and constructing water quality and storage facilities. Future Phase 2 will
plan, study, and schedule additional capital improvements to maximize the FHA reduction as funding is secured
from federal and state grants and/or Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities (SLCDPU) capital funds. Phase 1
of the project is estimated to begin January 2023 and be completed by December 2026. This grant has a match
requirement of $2,238,000. Salt Lake City identified $2 million from the first tranche of its American Rescue Plan
Act State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. A public hearing was held on 12/7/21. Note that since the grant
application was submitted last fall, the $2 million required match increased by $238,000. The grant is requesting
$11.45 million of federal funding for a total project cost of $13.45 million. The increase will be covered by the Public
Utilities Department’s Capital Improvement Fund. A revised scope of work caused the increased costs and includes
project elements that are ineligible for the federal grant funding.
Section F: Donations

Section G: Council Consent Agenda No. 3
G-1: National Renewal Energy Lab (NREL), Solar Energy Innovation Network (SEIN) Round 3
Multi-Stakeholder Team ($166,979 from Miscellaneous Grants Fund)

Innovation Network (SEIN) Round 3 Multi-Stakeholder Team grant program from the National Renewal Energy
Laboratory. The funding will be used to increase uptake of commercial solar and/or storage in underserved
communities through involvement from trusted stakeholders, community listening sessions, three to five solar and
storage benefit case studies, and culturally relevant outreach tools and resources that address solar PV market
barriers. Funding is allocated for: Travel $3,582 Three trips to Golden, Colorado for Team Lead (Senior Energy &
Climate Program Manager) to participate in SEIN-hosted cohort peer exchange workings sessions and symposium.
Contractual $163,397 Subrecipient contract to facilitate stakeholder convenings, guide case study assessments, and
develop solar/storage resources, outreach materials, and deliverables. No match is required. A public hearing was
held on 12/7/21 for this grant application.

G-2: Utah State Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Forensic Services, FY21 Paul Coverdell
Forensic Science Improvement Grant Program ($7,500 from Miscellaneous Grants Fund)
The Police Department is proposed as a sub-awardee in the Utah Department of Public Safety’s Bureau of Forensic
Services (UBFS) application for the FY21 Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grant Program. The state’s
application includes $7,500 for the police department’s Crime Laboratory to attain 2022 annual accreditation fee
through ANAB (ANSI National Accreditation Board) under ISO/IEC 17020:2012 requirement. The lab received
their ANAB accreditation in June 2021. With the assessment fee and annual accreditation fee being paid with
Coverdell 2020 funds, the costs for the first-year surveillance audit will be covered by this year's grant funds. A
public hearing was held on 4/5/22.
G-3: Utah Department of Health – Bureau of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Grant, FY22 Per
Capita Allocation ($4,200 from Miscellaneous Grants Fund)
Additional Funding of $4,200 has been awarded to this original grant bringing the total grant award amount to
$14,450. This agenda item will increase the funding budget. The Fire Department applied for and was awarded
$10,250 of grant funding from the Utah Department of Health, Bureau of Emergency Medical Services. This
funding will be used towards the purchase of a 12-Lead Cardiac Monitor and medical supplies relating to the
provision of Emergency Medical Services as funding permits. The public hearing for the original grant was held
2/16/21.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Revenue for FY 2021-22 Budget Adjustments
The following chart shows a current projection of General Fund Revenue for fiscal year 2022.
Projections for fiscal year 2021 were better than expected, while projections for fiscal year 2022
continue to trend above budget. The City is forecasting increases in most categories.
Sales tax for the first quarter was well above budget and the prior year. However, franchise tax is
lagging below budget from a decrease in water franchise ($704,000) and telephone ($218,000)
franchise taxes.
Licenses and Permits is coming in very strong. Licenses are above budget driven by increases in
airport parking taxes and innkeepers tax. The City continues to see positive construction number
leading permits to remain very strong with increases in plan check fees and building permits.
Field reservations, land leases and building leases are leading to an increase in Charges, Fees and
Rentals. Miscellaneous revenue is seeing an increase in fuel reimbursement and other utility
reimbursements. These are offset by special event revenue due to a continued decrease in in
person events in the City.
Fines and Forfeitures are below budget from a decrease in moving violations and justice court
fines. Interfund Reimbursement is below budget due to fire reimbursement from the airport
which should show an increase next fiscal year.

Section A: New Items
A-1: Open Space Acquisition Impact Fees $700,000.00
Department: Public Lands Prepared B: Kat Maus
For Questions Please Include: Gregg Evans, Kristin Riker, Kat Maus, Lewis Kogan
Public Lands is requesting an FY 2022 budget amendment for $700,000 in unallocated impact fees funding to acquire

A-2: Cottonwood Park Bridge Rebuild GF -$195,000.00
GF $195,000.00
CIP $195,000.00
Department: Public Lands Prepared By: Gregg Evans
For Questions Please Include: Gregg Evans, Kristin Riker, Lee Bollwinkel
The Public Lands Department is requesting a budget amendment of $195,000 to transfer general funds to POL CIP
deferred maintenance fund. On November 6th, a windstorm upturned a large tree on top of the pedestrian bridge by
Cottonwood Dog Park. This bridge is the main access for the dog park for residents over the Jordan River. A structural
engineer has deemed that one side of the bridge can remain open to pedestrians to allow access. The engineer has also
determined the bridge stability has been compromised to a level that it is unsafe for Parks vehicles to travel over this
bridge, inhibiting maintenance vehicles from crossing. One of the two supporting braces on the bridge has been crushed
and so the bridge can handle light pedestrian traffic but no vehicle use. The structural engineer determined that the cost of
replacement of the brace is as much as the replacement of the bridge. Parks staff have barricaded the damaged side of the
bridge to keep pedestrians away from the broken area for now. The bridge needs to be replaced as soon as possible as it is
unclear how weather and use of the bridge may impact the bridge stability. Public Lands will continue to monitor the
bridge safety until it can be replaced.
Public Lands is proposing to use anticipated year-end savings as a source of funding for this bridge reconstruction. The
funds would be transferred from Public Lands to the CIP Maintenance Fund.

A-7: Cyber Security Portfolio Expansion IMS $500,000.00
IMS $188,605.00
IMS $25,075.00
GF $713,680.00
Department: IMS Prepared By: Joseph Anthony
For Questions Please Include: Joseph Anthony, Aaron Bentley, Mary Beth Thompson
Salt Lake City is a major government organization that has a robust network with a vast array of valuable data and
processes that are reliant on the network. This is a request to get the city's endpoint management upgraded due to current
cyber security threats and a vast array of threats that are currently being seen throughout the industry.
We are requesting $500,000 to secure a contract for a SIEM (Security Incident and Event Management) security suite to
actively monitor and respond to security events ac ross the network that pose a risk to the city's network reliability. A SOC
(Security Operations Center) will be created to mitigate and monitor the active threats against the network. We are also
requesting an additional 75,000 for penetration testing and vulnerability scanning of our security posture, both internally
and externally.
Desktop/Laptop management expansion $65,800. The City’s Desktop Security solution needs additional licensing or a
“true up”. Our current system has 2350 licenses, and we need to expand that to 3350 (1000 additional licenses). This
software provides patch management to the primary devices (pcs and laptops) across the City. As Microsoft updates come
out monthly (sometimes weekly) this software enables us to patch the devices across the network without having to touch
every device individually.
Security Suite additional software for desktops/laptops $47,805. This software is an expansion of the above
desktop/laptop management software.
It will allow us to tighten the security on these devices such as disabling USB connected peripherals, change administrative
permissions for applications to install and run and allows enhanced control of the operating systems among other
functionalities.
To maintain these improvements an additional Cyber Security Engineer FTE will be needed.
Annual maintenance will vary greatly based on the SIEM solution that is chosen but may be as much as $250,000 per year
on an ongoing basis.
Costs will initially be covered through a transfer from the general fund. Actual costs will be allocated across all funds based
on usage.

Department: CAN Prepared By: Ken Perko
For Questions Please Include: Ken Perko, Brent Beck, Blake Thomas, Orion Goff
Youth and Family has partnered with Salt Lake County at the Central City Recreation Center since 2003 to provide youth
and teen programs. Salt Lake City has provided staffing and purchased program supplies and furnishings while Salt Lake
County has provided the space to operate the programs. In March, 2020 all in-person Youth and Family programming was
halted. The County then contracted with the Salt Lake County Health Department to provide a space for homeless
individuals who were Covid positive but did not need hospitalization. The health department moved out after a few
months and the Center sat empty. Shortly thereafter, the Center was broken into and as a result sustained significant
damage to the building and interior contents including a good portion of the equipment and furnishings that the City had
paid for. This settlement payment of $37,892.00 is a reimbursement for the damaged equipment and supplies.

Department: Finance Prepared By: Melyn Osmond
For Questions Please Include: Melyn Osmond, Elizabeth Gerhart
The Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilit ies received $2,000,000 for the Granary District Flood Plain Mitigation and
Re-Mapping.
Granary District Floodplain Mitigation and Re-Mapping is a phased planning, permitting, and capital improvement project
to reduce the Federal Emergency Management Act (FEMA) designated 750 -acre Flood Hazard Area (FHA) concentrated in
the Granary District and the adjacent stretch of the Jordan River. There are at least 1,182 properties partially or completely
within the FHA. The flood hazard risk is substantial and limits new development. The project area is approximately 5,700
acres. The project under this Agreement will only cover Phase 1 for planning, design, and constructing water quality and
storage facilities. Future Phase 2 will plan, study, and schedule additional capital improvements to maximize the FHA
reduction as funding is secured from federal and state grants and/or Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities
(SLCDPU) capital funds. Phase 1 of the project is estimated to begin January 2023 and be completed by December 2026.
This grant has a match requirement of $2,238,000. Salt Lake City identified $2 million from the first tranche of its
American Rescue Plan Act State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds.
A public hearing was held on 12/7/21 on the grant application for this award.

Policy Analyst
DATE:April 19, 2022
RE: Dowland Rezone and Master Plan Amendment (1902 South 400 East)
PLNPCM2021-00717/00718
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the master plan and zoning map for property located
at 1902 South 400 East in City Council District Five. The property is currently zoned R-1/5,000
(Residential) and the requested zoning designation is RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family
Residential). The Central Community Master Plan future land use map designates this property Low
Density residential (1-5 dwelling units per acre). The requested designation is Medium Density Residential
(15-30 dwelling units per acre).
A historic structure, the Septimus and Isabella Sears residence, was previously located on the subject
property. Unfortunately, the building suffered catastrophic damage during the March 2020 earthquake
and was subsequently demolished. The .33-acre property is currently vacant. Requested master plan and
zoning map amendments are to facilitate a proposed development of four townhomes.
The applicant originally requested RMF-45 zoning, but after Planning staff recommended the Planning
Commission forward a negative recommendation to the Council, and the Planning Commission reviewed
the proposal at its November 10, 2021 meeting, the applicant stated they would be amenable to changing
the requested zoning to RMF-35. The Planning Commission voted to table the application so the applicant
could work with Planning staff to revise the requested zoning designation. Townhomes are not allowed in
the R-1/5,000 zoning district but are within the RMF-35 and RMF-45 districts.
The applicant worked with Planning staff to revise their request to change the zoning designation to RMF-
35. The original proposed development was for eight townhomes but has been changed to include four
townhomes. It should be noted the Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property. No
development plan has been submitted to the City nor is it within the scope of the Council’s authority to
Item Schedule:
Briefing: April 19, 2022
Set Date: April 19, 2022
Public Hearing: May 3, 2022
Potential Action: May 17, 2022

review the plans. Because zoning of a property can outlast the life of a building, any rezoning application
should be considered on the merits of changing the zoning of that property, not simply based on a potential
project.
The Planning Commission reviewed the revised proposal at its February 9, 2022 meeting, held a public
hearing, and followed Planning staff’s recommendation, voting unanimously to forward a positive
recommendation to the City Council for both the zoning map and master plan amendments.
Area zoning map with subject property outlined in red
Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning and future land use map amendments, determine if
the Council supports moving forward with the proposal.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to ask the Planning Division if there are other, potentially more compatible
zoning designations would allow the proposed townhome development.
2. The Council may wish to ask if the applicant is considering any affordability considerations in the
additional units.
3. The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration how the pending affordable housing
overlay would have related to this request, to inform future discussions on that proposal.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Planning staff identified one key consideration related to the proposal which is found on pages 3-4 of the
Planning Commission staff report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the staff
report.
Consideration 1-Existing City Plan Guidance – Central Community Master Plan
Page | 3
The subject property is within the Central Community Master Plan’s Liberty neighborhood planning area
(900 South to 2100 South, and State Street to 700 East). The Plan states single-family detached residential
is the most common use in this area. Preservation of low-density neighborhoods and ensuring new
developments are compatible with existing scale, character and density of the surrounding neighborhoods
is outlined in the Plan. The Plan also states projects not in keeping with the scale, character and density
should not be allowed. It is Planning staff’s opinion the proposed zoning change to RMF-35 is appropriate
for the neighborhood. The subject parcel is across the street from St. Joseph’s Villa rehabilitation center,
which is split-zoned RMF-35 and I (Institutional), as shown in the area zoning map above.
The Central Community Master Plan future land use map shows the subject parcel is intended to be Low-
Density Residential (1-5 dwelling units per acre), which is not consistent with the proposed zoning map
amendment. The applicant requested a master plan amendment to the Central Community Future Land
Use Map to Medium-Density Residential (15-30 dwelling units per acre). This change would align with the
proposed zoning map change to RMF-35.
In addition to the consideration above, Planning staff reviewed the proposed amendments for compliance
with citywide plans Growing Salt Lake, and Plan Salt Lake. Planning found the proposed map
amendments meet goals outlined in these plans. Please see Attachment D (page 15 of the Planning
Commission staff report) for the full discussion.
R-1/5,000 and RMF-35 ZONING COMPARISON
The following comparison of R-1/5,000 and RMF-35 zoning designations are included in Attachment C
(pages 13-14) of the Planning Commission staff report. They are included below for convenience.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND :
Paul Dowland, on behalf of the property owner, is
requesting a master plan and zoning map amendment for
the property located at appro ximately 1902 South 400
East. The total area of the subject property is
approximately 0.3316 acres or approximately 14,444
square feet.
The subject property was home to the historic Septimus
and Isabella Sears Residence. The home was constructed
in 1896 and suffered catastrophic damage in the March
2020 earthquake. The historic home has been
demolished and the property currently stands vacant.
The purpose of the Zoning Map and Master Plan
Amendment requests is to facilitate future development
of townhome units on the subject property.
The subject property is located just north of 2100 South,
a major vehicular, pedestrian, and transit corridor. While
the subject property is close to the major corridor
400 East itself is a calmer street which primarily
provides access to residential streets and
properties. The properties across the street to the east
are zoned RMF-35
and Institutional and are the location(s) of the St. Joseph
Villa and Senior Living development. The surrounding
properties on the block and within the surrounding area
are zoned R-1-5,000 and are strictly residential properties.
The primary reason for the rezone request is so the applicant will have the ability to construct
townhome units, which is not currently allowed under the existing R-1-5,000 zoning district but
is allowed as a permitted use under the requested RMF-35 zoning district. New permitted uses
would include: assisted living facilities (small), multi-family dwellings, single-family attached
dwellings, and twin home/two family dwellings. New conditional uses would include: congregate

from 400 East.

Mansion following March 2020 earthquake.
care facility (large), residential support (small), community recreation centers, assisted living
facilities (large), group homes (large) and residential support dwellings (small). There are no uses
which are currently permitted which
would become conditional uses but there
are conditional uses which would
become permitted. These include:
co mmunity garden, accessory dwelling
units, limited capacity assisted living
facility, and small congregate care
facility. For a complete list of uses that
are allowed under the existing R-1-5,000
Residential zone and the proposed RMF-
35 Multifamily Residential zone, please
refer to Attachment C.
Typically when the zoning designation of
properties is amended to a zone which
allows non-residential uses a Housing
Loss Mitigation Study is required. In this
case, however, the residential use was
terminated (demolished) before these
petitions were filed so a Housing Loss
Mitigation Study is not required.
This request was previously heard by the
Planning Commission on November 10,
2021 where the Applicant was requesting
a zoning map amendment to the RMF-45
zoning district. Numerous neighbors attended the public hearing at this meeting; some voiced
their support and others stated their opposition. Planning Staff’s previous analysis of the map
amendment considerations led to a negative recommendation and the Planning Commission
voted to table the requested map amendments to allow the Applicant and Planning Staff time to
discuss the request and consider other available zoning districts. Following this discussion the
Applicant opted to amend their zoning map amendment request to RMF-35.
Zoning Map Amendment Considerations
Planning staff is required by ordinance to analyze proposed zoning map amendments against
existing adopted City policies and other related adopted City regulations. Planning staff is also
directed to consider whether zoning map amendments implement best planning practices.
However, ultimately, a decision to amend the zoning map is fully up to the discretion of the City
Council and is not subject to any particular standard of review or consideration.
The full list of factors to consider for a zoning map amendment are located in Attachment E.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS :
The key considerations and concerns below have been identified through the analysis of the
project, neighbor and community input, and department reviews.
1. Existing Area Plan Guidance
Consideration 1: Existing City Plan Guidance – Central City Master Plan
For zoning map amendments, Planning Staff is directed by ordinance to consider the associated
City master plans and adopted policies that apply to a proposal. Staff reviews general City policies,
including adopted policies in Citywide master plans such as Plan Salt Lake , and considers plans
that are specific to an area. In this case the property is within the boundaries of the Central
Community Master Plan. The Central Community Master Plan outlines how this area developed;
beginning as a residential area into which commercial uses began to infiltrate after WWII.
The Future Land Use Map associated with the Central Community Master Plan indicates the
subject property is intended to be a Low-Density Residential land use (beige ), which is not
consistent with the proposed zoning map amendment. To remedy this the Applicant has also
requested an Master Plan Amendment of the Central Community Future Land Use Map to
Medium-Density Residential (golden color) in order to facilitate the zoning change. This change
would allow for zoning changes consistent with 15-30 dwelling units per acre as opposed to the 1-
15 dwelling units per acre currently encouraged under the existing land use and zoning map
designations.
The subject property is located in the “Liberty neighborhood planning area” within the Central
Community Master Plan. This area is bounded between 900 South to 2100 South and State Street
to 700 East. The Plan indicates single-family detached residential uses are the most common in
this area. The residential land use goals outlined in the Central Community Master Plan
encourage higher density developments to be located in appropriate areas including East
Downtown, the Central Business District, the Gateway area and nearby downtown light rail
stations. It also seeks to ensure the preservation of low-density residential neighborhoods and to
ensure new developments are compatible with the existing scale, character and density of the
surrounding neighborhoods. While the Plan encourages the creation of various housing
opportunities it is clear that projects not in keeping with the surrounding scale, character and
density of a neighborhood should not be allowed. The proposed zoning change to RMF-35 is in
keeping with the surrounding neighborhood and would be directly across the street from an
existing property that is also zoned RMF-35 (St. John’s Villa).
See Attachment D for policy statements and goals from various city plans that staff co nsidered as
part of the review of this rezone request. Generally, staff finds that the proposed map amendments
meet the considerations outlined in section 21A.50.050.
NEXT STEPS:
The Planning Commission can provide a positive or negative recommendation for the proposal
and as part of a recommendation, can add conditions or request that changes be made to the
proposal. The recommendation and any requested conditions/changes will be sent to the City
Council, who will hold a briefing and additional public hearing on the proposed zoning changes.
The City Council may make modifications to the proposal and approve or decline to approve the
proposed zoning map amendment .
Zoning Map and Master Plan Amendment Approval - If the requests are ultimately
approved by the City Council, the changes would be incorporated into the official City Zoning map
and the future land use map within the Central Community Master Plan and the subject property
could be developed under the RMF-35 zoning regulations.
Zoning Map and Master Plan Amendment Denial - If the proposed amendments are not
approved by the City Council, the property could still be developed under the current R-1-5,000
zoning designation, however, the property would not be able to have townhome units as they are
not permitted in the existing zoning district.

PLNPCM2021-00717 & PLNPCM2021-00718
Principal Planner, Caitlyn Tubbs, reviewed the petition as outlined in the staff report. She shared
that the majority of public comments were in opposition to the petition. She stated that Staff
recommends the Planning Commission forward a negative recommendation to City Council.
The applicant representative, Tom Jolley, stated that they have no formal presentation. He said
that the City’s Master Plan was made in response to the market at the time but that needs have
changed. He feels the project could be tweaked to fit within the City’s goals.
Chairperson Barry asked for the reason they are asking RMF45 versus other options such as
RMF-35. The applicant stated that they were looking to fit 8 units on the lot. He stated they are
open to change the request to RMF35.
Commissioner Bell asked if the applicant had considered subdividing the lot and if so, how many
lots they could get out of it. The applicant stated they had not considered subdividing, but they
could possibly subdivide the lot into two and meet zoning.
Salt Lake City Planning Commission November 10, 2021 Page 8
Commissioner Burrows asked what the chances were the applicant would rebuild the mansion
on the lot. He stated that they were not willing to do that.
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairperson Barry opened the public hearing.
• Cindy Cromer – supports the staff report – in opposition of the petition.
• Darlene Kaufusi – in opposition of the petition
• Doyle Buchanan – in favor of the petition
• Jeff Bair – in opposition of the petition
• Mary Piele – in opposition of the petition
• Sharlene Kiuhara – in opposition of the petition
• Taylor Anderson – asked wanted to know why the applicant asked for RMF-45 and wanted
to know what other kind of zoning could be put there
• Vincent Gryboski – read his previously emailed comment – in opposition of the petition
• William Nesse – in support of the petition
• Bailey Cooper – sees value in adding more properties to the area
• Amy Thompson read an email from Sara E. Adelman – Liberty Wells Community Council -
we do not support the rezoning of this property to RMU-45 given the existing character of the
surrounding neighborhood.
Seeing that no one else wished to speak, Chairperson Barry closed the public h earing.
Chairperson Barry addressed Taylor Anderson’s question about zoning and asked Caitlyn if the
RMF-45 was needed specifically for the project density. She stated that the requested zoning
was needed for the proposed project. Chairperson Barry then asked what kind of density they
could get in the RMF-35 zoning. Staff stated that the bulk requirements would be similar but
there would be a major change with the height restrictions which would be 35ft for the RMF-35
zone verses 45ft in the RMF-45 zone.
Chairperson Barry asked about the appropriateness of form-based code in the proposed area.
Director Nick Norris clarified that zoning is typically used in metro areas close to transit.
Chairperson Barry asked what the setback for the front yard is. Planner Tubbs reviewed the
setbacks that are shown in the staff report.
Director Nick Norris reviewed the density for RMF-35 saying the lot is just over 14,000 square
feet, and how density is calculated in the RMF-35 zone is that you get 3 unit for the first 9,000
square feet of lot area and then each additional unit up to 11 additional units requires 2,000
square feet per unit. He stated that the property in question could have 5 units under the RMF-
35 zoning.
Salt Lake City Planning Commission November 10, 2021 Page 9
Commissioner Scheer stated that the applicant did not ask for the RMF35 zoning and the
Commission is not able to negotiate that at a Planning Commission meeting. She said she
agrees with almost all of the public comments, but this project has not been thought out enough
and she will be opposing.
Commissioner Mike Christensen said he wants to see more density and housing available in the
neighborhood but wants something that is more thought through.
Mr. Jolly feels they can build a project the community could be proud of. He asked if t hey could
continue a conversation with staff to find a solution.
MOTION
Commissioner Aimee Burrows stated, Based on the information in the staff report, the
information presented, and the input received during the public hearing, I move that the
Planning Commission forward a Negative Recommendation to the City Council for the
requested General Map Amendment from Low Density Residential (1-5 dwelling units per
acre)to Medium Density Residential (15-30 dwelling units per acre) for 0.33 acres at
approximately 1902 South 400 East with the following finding: 1. The requested map
amendment is not consistent with the considerations within section 21A.50.050of Salt
Lake City’s ordinances.
Commissioner Mike Christensen seconded the motion.
Director Nick Norris review the options with the Commission other than denial since the applicant
mentioned willingness to change their application.
Commissioner Scheer asked staff if they send a negative recommendation if it has to go before
City Council or of the applicant could withdraw.
Commissioner Aimee Burrows stated that she would withdraw her motion. Commissioner
Adrienne Bell stated that she would be in favor of tabling the petition in favor of finding an
alternative. Commissioner Christensen stated he would be in favor of tabling as well.
Commissioner Burrows withdrew her motion.
Commissioner Brenda Scheer stated. In the application PLNPCM2021-00717 &
PLNPCM2021-00718 I move that we table this set of applications. Commissioner Sara

City Plan Considerations
Adopted City Plan Policies and Guidance
Zoning map amendments are reviewed for compliance with City master plans and adopted
policies. The below plans were adopted for the area:
• Central City Master Plan (Current Community Plan)
o Density increases in single family type structures are encouraged in the Liberty
Neighborhood. The proposed zoning amendment to RMF-35 would allow for
moderate density increases within single family attached structures as encouraged
in the Central City Master Plan.
o
• Growing Salt Lake
o Housing Initiative 2 suggests the City increase the number of medium density
housing types and options. Allowing the zoning change would increase the
medium density housing types in this area of the city in a location where the
additional units would have access to amenities such as parks.
o Housing Initiative 3 encourages housing options that accommodate aging in
place. The development of multiple housing types in a neighborhood provides
opportunities for residents to live in homes that serve their specific needs for
their age while also keeping them in the same neighborhood and nearby the
amenities they have grown accustomed to.
• Plan Salt Lake
o Growth initiative 3 encourages the City to “promote infill and redevelopment of
underutilized land.” The subject property is larger than other properties in the
surrounding area. The property is currently vacant following the demolition of
the damaged Sears Mansion. The subject property’s location in an already
established neighborhood and the size of the land makes this parcel a good
candidate for infill redevelopment.
o Housing Initiative 2 promotes the increase of medium density housing types and
options. The Plan also advocates for the city to enable moderate density increases
within existing neighborhoods where appropriate. As seen in the Central City
Master Plan the subject property is appropriate for a moderate density increase
because it is in close proximity to multiple collector streets and local amenities.
Analysis of Zoning
Amendment Standards
ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS
21A.50.050: A decision to amend the text of this title or the zoning map by general
amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the city council and is not
controlled by any one standard. In making a decision to amend the zoning map, the City
Council should consider the following:
FACTOR FINDING RATIONALE
1. Whether a proposed
map amendment is
consistent with the
purposes, goals,
objectives, and policies of
the city as stated through
its various adopted
planning documents;
Complies The proposed map amendments are
consistent with the housing and growth
initiatives of multiple citywide housing plans
and the subject property is a good candidate
for moderate density increase as allowed by
the Central City Master Plan.
2. Whether a proposed
map amendment furthers
the specific purpose
statements of the zoning
ordinance.
Complies The general purpose statement of the City’s
residential zoning districts includes:
providing a range of housing choices, types,
and densities and to ensure co mpatible
development, among other goals. The
proposed map amendments are consistent
with the purpose statements.
3. The extent to which a
proposed map
amendment will affect
adjacent properties;
Complies The subject property is in an already
established neighborhood and there is an
existing land use across the street to the east
that is also zoned RMF-35.
4. Whether a proposed
map amendment is
consistent with the
purposes and provisions
of any applicable overlay
zoning districts which
may impose additional
standards
Not Applicable There are no overlay zoning districts
governing the subject property.
5. The adequacy of public
facilities and services
intended to serve the
subject property,
including, but not limited
to, roadways, parks and
recreational facilities,
police and fire protection,
schools, stormwater
Complies The surrounding area is fully developed, and
all public infrastructure and utilities are
already in place.
An increase in the number of dwelling units
permitted under the proposed RMF-35 zone
may require upgrading the utilities and
drainage systems. However, such upgrades
would be required for any new
larger/intensification of use on the property
through the building permits process.

supplies, and wastewater

My name is Sharlene Kiuhara. I live at 373 E Ramona Ave located around the corner of the Dowland
proposal (in case my audio does not work).
I would like to thank Madame Chair, the commissioners, and Ms. Tubbs for their time and judicious
thought on the original application and the amendment, which I am in support of.
In light of the fact that SLC is growing and affordable housing is becoming more limited, I also want
to thank the applicant and the amended proposition to reduce the number of townhomes from 8 to
4.
I look forward to attending the next public hearing on the building plan.
Thank you again,

6 . Original Petition
June 28, 2021
Via Electronic Mail
Salt Lake City Planning Division
451 S. State Street Salt Lake City, UT 84111 Attn: Daniel Echeverria – Senior Planner
Re: Written Narrative in Support of Master Plan and Zoning Amendment Applications
Dear Daniel,
This firm represents PJJD LLC (the “Developer”) in connection with a proposed multi-family
residential real estate development in Salt Lake City. Developer owns a vacant lot located at 1902 S 400 E
in Salt Lake City (the “Property”). Developer is proposing to develop the Property into an 8-Unit/Lot multi-
family residential subdivision (the “Project”). The Property is currently zoned R-1/5,000 (Single - Family
Residential District) and in order to develop the Property as intended by Developer, it is necessary to request
a rezone and a master plan map amendment of the Property from R-1/5,000 (Single-Family) to the RMF-
45 (Moderate/High Density Multi-Family Residential District (“RMF-45 Zone”).
Concurrent with this letter, Developer is submitting: (i) a General Master Plan Map Amendment
Application; (ii) a General Zoning Amendment Application; and (iii) supporting materials (collectively the
“Application”) as required by Salt Lake City (the “City”). The purpose of this letter is to address the
Application requirements and provide written support for the Application.
1. Current General Plan Classification. The current City General Plan classification for
the Property is located in the Central Community district.
2. Current Zoning Classification. The current City Zoning classification is R-1/5,000
(Single-Family Residential) and Low Density Residential (See Central Master Plan).
3. Requested Zoning Classification. The Developer is requesting a Zoning Classification
and change of the Zoning Map to RMF -45 Zone (Moderate/High Density Multi-Family Residential).
4. Parcel Number Change. The Developer is requesting the Zoning Map to be amended for
only one Parcel Id: 16-18-452-012-0000.
5. Project Description and Proposed Use. Developer purchased the Property on October 20,
2020. Prior to Developer’s ownership, a single-family home was located on the Property which received
substantial earthquake damage. As a result of such damage and for safety reasons, the home was razed, and
the Property now sits vacant. Developer proposes to subdivide and construct 8 tasteful townhomes on
Page 2 of 2
the Property for sale and use as a multifamily residential subdivision. Each townhome will have 4
bedrooms, 2 baths with a double car garage. There will be no on street parking.
6. Reasons in Support of Requested Zone Change. In support of rezoning the Property
to the RMF -45 Zone, Developer respectfully requests the City to balance existing rules and regulations
with flexibility for change and growth and consider the following:
(a). General Statement. Salt Lake City is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation and boasts a strong housing and employment market. Although this growth in population
and employment supports a vibrant community, for many residents and workers, SLC is
becoming a city out of reach. Similar to cities across the country, Salt Lake City is faced with housing prices that are rising more rapidly than wages, resulting in a lack of diverse and
affordable housing.
To address the growth and housing challenges, over the years the City has developed
goals, objectives and policies as stated through its various adopted planning documents, including, Plan Salt Lake; Salt Lake City/Citywide Vision, adopted 2015 (“Master Plan ”);
Growing SLC, A Five Year Housing Plan, (2018-2022) (“City Housing Plan”); Salt Lake City
Consolidated Plan; Hud Program Years 2020-2024; Fiscal Years 2021-2025, (“HUD Plan”),
Central Community Neighborhood Master Plan, adopted 2005 (“Central Master Plan ”); Building
Affordable in Salt Lake City: An Affordable Residential Development Guide, 2019 (“Affordable
Residential Guide”); various zoning regulations (“Ordinances”) and other city wide and
community plans, etc.
Implementing these various goals, objections and policies as reflected in the adopted planning documents requires a unique approach of balancing existing rules and regulations while
exercising flexibility to achieve real and responsive change that will encourage the market to develop the diverse and affordable housing needed to accommodate the growing SLC
community.
(b) The Project is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and policies of the
City. The Master Plan, City Housing Plan, HUD Plan, Central Master Plan, Affordable Residential
Guide and Ordinances all recognize, support and call for increasing the housing supply and
expanding housing opportunities throughout the city, including removing local barriers to housing
development. For example, both the Master Plan and the City Housing Plan specifically provide:
(1) By creating places with a diverse mix of uses, building types, connections, and
transportation options, people have the choice of where they live, how they live, and how they get around. As our City grows and evolves overtime, having
a diverse mix of uses in our neighborhoods citywide will become increasingly
important to accommodate responsible growth and provide people with real
choices. See Master Plan; Sustainable Growth & Development, Page 9.
(2) Compatibility of development generally refers to how a development
integrates into the existing scale and character of a neighborhood. New
development should be context sensitive to the surrounding development,
taking into account the existing character of the neighborhood while providing
opportunities for new growth and to enhance the sense of place. See Master
Plan; Sustainable Growth & Development, Page 10.
Page 3 of 2
(3) Guiding Principle; Access to a wide variety of housing types for all income
levels throughout the City, providing the basic human need for safety and
responding to changing demographics; Initiatives; Increase the number of
medium density housing types and options; Enable moderate density increases
within existing neighborhoods where appropriate. See Master Plan, Guiding
Principles and Housing Initiatives, Pages 14 & 21.
(4) Guiding Principle; Maintaning places that provide a foundation for the City to
affirm our past; Initiatives; Preserve and enhance neighborhood district
character; Balance preservation with flexibility for change and growth. See
Master Plan, Guiding Principles and Housing Initiatives, Pages 14 & 33.
(5) In order to respond to Salt Lake City’s changing demographics and the housing needs of its diverse communities, it is critical to begin to look within the City
for real and responsive change that will encourage the market to develop the
housing and infrastructure needed to accommodate our growing community.
This goal focuses on the need to increase the diversity of housing types and
opportunities in the city by seeking policy reforms that can enhance the flexibility of the land-use code and create an efficient and predictable
development process for community growth. See City Housing Plan, Section
3, Goal 1, Page 17.
(6) In order to respond to the demographic shift described above, modernizing
zoning is key not only to catching up with the demand, but creating housing
that responds to every stage of lifewhether just starting out or downsizing later
in life… In addition, thereis a needfor in-fill ordinances that allow for greater
density in existing neighborhoods, offering owners the option to subdivide
large parcels to increase the utility and value of their land, removing
impediments to innovative construction types, such as accessory dwelling
units, and reducing parking requirements to bring downthe cost of developing
new housingunits. See City Housing Plan, Section 3, Objective 1.1.1, Page 18; (Emphasis Added).
(7) In-fill ordinances provide both property owners and developers with options
to increase the number of units on particular parcels throughout the city. Such
options would alsohelprestore the“missingmiddle” housingtypes where new
construction has principally been limited to single-family homes and multi-
story apartment buildingsfor decades. Missingmiddle housingtypes arethose
that current zoning practices have either dramatically reduced or eliminated
altogether: accessory dwelling units, duplexes, tri-plexus, small multi-plexus,
courtyard cottages and bungalows, row houses, and small apartment
buildings. Finding a place for these housing types throughout the city means
more housing options in Salt Lake City and restoring choices for a wider
variety of household sizes, from seniors to young families. Apart from
traditional infill ordinances, responding to the unusual age, form, and shape
of housing stock should beaddressed andleveragedto addincremental density
in existing structures. This would include options for lot subdivision where
there is ample spaceto build anadditional home ona property or alternatively
Page 4 of 2
expand rental opportunities in existing structures. This solution responds to
the strong preference for single-family homes that was captured in the Salt
Lake Live Work Survey. Allowing landowners to subdivide their large,
underutilized lots createsa path to building more single-familyhomes in a city
that has limited space left for them under its current land-use regulations. See
City Housing Plan, Section 3, Objective 1.1.2, Page 19 (Emphasis added).
The Project creates a real opportunity to respond to and satisfy many of the City’s stated
goals and objectives to find places to enable moderate density increases within existing
neighborhoods to provide for a wider variety of housing types. The Property is a corner lot and is currently vacant. Developer is not requesting demolition of an existing single-family home. The
Project will provide 8 residential townhomes to enhance the character of the neighborhood. The
Project will create new “missing middle” housing growth on a small scale at a price point more
affordable than currently exists in this area.
(c) Further Purposes of Zoning Ordinance. Developer will establish CC&R’s (and, if
necessary, an HOA) for the development and use of the Project in order to protect and enhance the
value and desirability of the Project and to provide a clean and safe neighborhood for its residents.
(d). The Project will not materially affect adjacent properties. Developer recognizes
that the Property is located in the Central Community district and subject to, among other planning
documents, the Central Master Plan which provides for “preservation of historic structures and
neighborhoods” as an important goal. Yet we note that the Central Master Plan was created and
adopted in 2005 when market dynamics were much different and may even conflict with more
modern goals and policies of the City as adopted in the Master Plan and City Housing Plan as they relate to creating a diversity of housing types in the city to address growth.
Developer believes that the Project will not fundamentally change the residential nature of
the neighborhood and is willing to engage with the City on “form-based zoning” (i.e., ensuring that
the form of a building fits into the neighborhood surrounding it, rather than focusing regulation on
the specific use of that building as traditional zoning code requires) to tweak height, depth and
general shape of the Project to best utilize the space on the Property and ensure that the residential neighborhood character is preserved and enhanced. Working with the City, the Project will be
context sensitive to the existing character of the neighborhood while providing opportunities for
new growth and to enhance the sense of place.
(e). Consistent Land Use. The land use of the Property will remain residential and not
mixed use. Moreover, the Project is consistent with land uses immediately surrounding the
Property. The St. Josheph’s project is zoned RMF-35 and allows for moderate multifamily
residential development. Additionally, a drive through of the surrounding neighborhoods also show
various multi-family duplexes, tri-plexus and apartments that have been built over the years.
(f). Adequate Public Facilities and Services. The Project is small scale and limited
to 8 residential units/lots and will have a minimal impact on traffic and other required public facilities.
Page 5 of 2
We believe the Project is consistent with the City’s development goals and objectives to provide
diversity of housing types and to support attractive and well-maintained neighborhoods. We appreciate the
City’s consideration of these matters and look forward to working with you.
Best regards,
YORK HOWELL & GUYMON

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM:Brian Fullmer
Policy Analyst
DATE:April 19, 2022
RE: Intermountain Wood West Temple Rezone and Master Plan Amendment
(1948/1950 South West Temple) PLNPCM2021-00291/292
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for property located at 1950 South
West Temple, and a portion of the property located at 1948 South West Temple within the Ballpark
neighborhood in City Council District Five. Combined, the parcels total approximately 4.25 acres. The 1948
South West Temple property is “split-zoned” between RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family
Residential) and CG (General Commercial) zoning designations as shown in the area zoning map below.
The entirety of 1950 South West Temple is zoned RMF-35. Additionally, the proposal would amend the
Central Community Master Plan Future Land Use Map for the properties from Medium-Density
Residential to Medium Residential/Mixed Use.
Intermountain Wood Products has been located on the subject parcels for many years. The requests are
included in efforts to expand storage space and construct a new office building with uniform zoning on the
properties, which would be consolidated. Existing RMF-35 zoning would not allow the proposed expansion
or office uses.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing at its August 11, 2021 meeting. The applicant spoke during
the meeting and stated they are amenable to a development agreement that limits building height on the
property to 35 feet, and to consolidate the parcels.
Planning staff recommended and the Planning Commission voted unanimously to forward a positive
recommendation to the City Council with the following recommendations:
Approval is conditioned on consolidating the parcels into one.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: April 19, 2022
Set Date: April 19, 2022
Public Hearing: May 3, 2022
Potential Action: May 17, 2022
Page | 2
The petitioner and City enter a development agreement to limit the height of any future
development and approve the final site plan for the rezoned parcel. (It should be noted the City
Council does not approve site plans for parcels.)
Area zoning map with subject properties outlined in red and yellow
Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning and future land use map amendments, determine if
the Council supports moving forward with the proposal.
POLICY QUESTION
1. The Council may wish to discuss if height limitations and other requirements such as consolidating
the two parcels might be included in a development agreement.
2. Because this property is located in the State Street project area, the Council may wish to discuss
with the Administration if this is consistent with planning and redevelopment efforts in the area, or
if aspects of the development agreement could anticipate adjacent redevelopment to ensure
compatibility.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property. No formal site plan has been submitted
to the City nor is it within the scope of the Council’s authority to review the plans. Because zoning of a
property can outlast the life of a building, any rezoning application should be considered on the merits of
changing the zoning of that property, not simply based on a potential project.
Page | 3
Planning staff identified four key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 3-5 of
the Planning Commission staff report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the
staff report.
Consideration 1-Zoning compatibility with Adjacent Properties
Properties fronting on West Temple in this area are predominantly zoned residential. As shown in the area
zoning map above, properties on the east side of West Temple are zoned R-1/5000; adjacent properties to
the north are also R-1/5000. A parcel at the northeast corner of the subject property is zoned RMF-35 and
is used for multi-family residential. These residential uses exist within a larger commercial and industrial
area of the city.
Okland Construction Company is adjacent to the south and the property is used for the company’s offices,
as well as material and equipment storage. This parcel was rezoned in 2017 from a split zoning of RMF-35
to CG, very similar to conditions on the subject property. Okland built new offices closer to West Temple on
the rezoned property. Intermountain Wood is limited in its options for locating offices much like Okland
Construction was before its property was rezoned.
While CG zoning could allow more intense uses than RMF-35, the applicant’s expressed intent is to
construct a new office on the property. Planning staff noted uses allowed in the CG zoning district have
existed on most of the property for many years.
Consideration 2-Change in Zoning to CG (General Commercial) for the Entire Parcel
The petitioner requested the zoning change to CG for uniformity and to expand existing office space. The
RMF-35 portion is less than 15% of the 4.24 acres combined parcels’ total.
Existing split-zoning requires the current (or future) property owner to be subject to different land use and
building regulations. Requirements for setbacks, open space, and others may be different for one part of
the property than another. This makes development on the property more difficult than with uniform
zoning.
Consideration 3-Master Plan and Current Zoning Considerations
The Central Community Master Plan designates the front portion of the property as “Medium Density
Residential” and the remainder of the property “Medium Residential/Mixed Use.” Planning staff stated
The master plan supports a business-friendly environment that limits planning and zoning
restrictions to those instance that provide clear and substantial benefits to residents (Central
Community Master Plan, 2005 – Vision – Vital and Sustainable Commerce – Page 3). Given the
overall commercial and industrial character of the area and the majority of the property already
being zoned CG, no substantial benefits would be provided to neighboring residents through a
denial of the changes to the master plan and zoning map amendment.
Approximately 85% of the combined properties has been zoned CG since 1995, and it is Planning’s opinion
a change to the remaining portion would do little to change the overall character and area impact of the
site.
Consideration 4-Consideration of Alternate Zoning Districts
Planning staff considered several potential alternate zoning districts (R-MU, R-MU-35, R-MU-45
(Residential Mixed-Use), MU (Mixed Use), RO (Residential Office), and CB (Community Business). Each
would allow expansion of the office and parking, while limiting building height and some more impactful
uses allowed in the CG zone. However, other limitations such as reduced non-residential building height,
extra process steps required to build an office building, or additional residential building height were
Page | 4
mentioned. Planning staff noted changing the zoning district to something other than the requested CG
would perpetuate the property’s split-zoning and make development more cumbersome due to dissimilar
standards and requirements on different portions of the property. Planning does not recommend an
alternate zoning designation than the requested CG.

ANALYSIS OF STANDARDS
Attachment E (pages 20-22) of the Planning Commission staff report outlines master plan and zoning map
amendment standards that should be considered as the Council reviews this proposal. The standards and
findings are summarized below. Please see the Planning Commission staff report for additional
information.
Master Plan Amendments
State law requires municipalities to have a master plan but does not include criteria for master plan
amendments, nor does the City. However, Salt Lake City Code Section 21A.02.040 – Effect of Adopted
Master Plans of General Plans addresses the issue in this way:
Page | 5
All master plans or general plans adopted by the planning commission and city council for
the city, or for an area of the city, shall serve as an advisory guide for land use decisions.
Amendments to the text of this title or zoning map should be consistent with the purposes,
goals, objectives and policies of the applicable adopted master plan or general plan of Salt
Lake City. (Ord. 26-95 § 2(1-4), 1995)
Planning staff found in this instance the master plan is being amended to provide consistency between the
Central Community Master Plan and the subject property’s zoning designation. The request is to allow
rezoning the property to a zoning district which will permit office expansion.
Zoning Map Amendments
Factor Finding
Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent with
the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the city as
stated through its various adopted planning documents.
Complies with master
plan policy statements
and other documents
and policies adopted by
the City.
Whether a proposed map amendment furthers the
specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance.
This has been considered
and the proposal
furthers the specific
purpose statements of
the zoning ordinance.
The extent to which a proposed map amendment will
affect adjacent properties
The map amendment
will facilitate additional
development in the area,
specifically expansion of
the existing office
building. While this may
create additional
impacts on neighboring
properties, those
impacts will be reviewed
in relation to any
specific future
development proposal.
Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent with
the purposes and provisions of any applicable overlay
zoning districts which may impose additional standards.
Complies
The adequacy of public facilities and services intended to
serve the subject property, including, but not limited to,
roadways, parks and recreational facilities, police and fire
protection, schools, stormwater drainage systems, water
supplies, and wastewater and refuse collection.
The City has the ability
to provide services to the
subject property. The
infrastructure may need
to be upgraded at the
owner’s expense in order
to meet specific City
requirements.

Master Plan & Zoning Map Amendments
PROPERTY ADDRESS: 1948 and 1950 South West Temple
PARCEL ID: 15-13-478-035 and 15-13-478-031
MASTER PLAN: Central Community Master Plan
ZONING DISTRICT: RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential and CG (General
Commercial)
REQUEST: The requests are part of an effort to expand the existing Intermountain Wood Products
operation to meet company needs and to have uniform zoning on their properties which would be
consolidated. This project requires the following applications:
1. Master Plan Amendment (PLNPCM2021-00292) - The associated future land use map in the
Central Community Master Plan currently designates the subject portion of the properties as "Medium
Density Residential" while the remainder of the property is designated as "Medium Residential/Mixed
Use." The petitioner is requesting to amend the future land use map so that the entire property is
designated as "Medium Residential/Mixed Use".
2. Zoning Map Amendment (PLNPCM2021-00291) - The main property is currently split-zoned
between RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential) and GC (General Commercial) zoning
on the west portion while the smaller parcel along South West Temple is fully zoned RMF-35. The
petitioner is requesting to amend the zoning map designations for the properties or portions that are
zoned RMF-35 to GC. This would make the zoning of the consolidated parcel uniform.
The Planning Commission’s role in this application is to provide a recommendation to the City Council,
who will make the final decision on the requested zoning map and master plan amendments.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the information presented in the staff report, and the analysis and findings of fact, Planning
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward a positive recommendation to the City
Council for the proposed master plan amendment and zoning map amendments as requested.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Reason for Request
These requests are part of an overall effort to expand storage space on the property and build a new office in
order to meet company needs. The property is currently split-zoned between the GC – General Commercial
and RMF-35 – Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential zoning districts. In their narrative, the applicant
references the Okland Construction property immediately to the south that went through a similar rezoning
several years ago in order to build a new office on the portion of their property closest to South West Temple.
⚫ Page 3
The applicant has indicated a similar desire to build office space on the eastern portion of their property closer
to South West Temple.
The total property parcel at 1948 South West Temple is approximately 3.93 acres or 171,200 square feet in size
while the smaller parcel at 1950 South West Temple is approximately 0.311 acres or 13,550 square feet in size.
The eastern portion of the larger parcel (approx. 0.311 acres/13,500 SF or 8%) is zoned RMF-35 while the rest
of the property (92% - 3.62 acres/157,650SF) is zoned CG. The smaller parcel at 1950 South West Temple is
zoned entirely RMF-35. The RMF-35 zoning district would not allow the proposed expansion as it does not
allow office uses. The intent of the proposal is to rezone the smaller eastern portion of the property and
adjacent smaller parcel from the current RMF-35 zoning to GC to make the parcel zoning uniform which would
allow for the changes. The project is located within the boundaries of the Ballpark Community which lies within
the Central Community Master Plan area. The petitioner is requesting to amend the future land use map so
that the entire property is designated as "Medium Residential/Mixed Use". This project requires both a Zoning
Map and Master Plan Amendment.
The applicant’s narrative explaining the rationale for the zoning map amendment request and conceptual plans
can be found in Attachment B of this report.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS:
The key considerations associated with this proposal are:
1. Change in Zoning and Compatibility with Adjacent Properties
2. Change to CG Zoning for the Entire Parcel
3. Master Plan and Current Zoning Considerations
4. Consideration of Alternate Zoning Districts
Key considerations are discussed further in the following paragraphs and were identified through the analysis
of the project (Attachment D) and department review comments (Attachment F).
Consideration 1: Zoning Compatibility with Adjacent Properties
Properties along West Temple are predominantly zoned residential along the street face. On the east side of
the street near the project area the zoning is R-1/5000 (Single-family Residential). To the north of the project
area, lies Macarthur Avenue, a street of single-family residential development that is also zoned R-1/5000.
To the south and west the properties are zoned CG and have been developed for a variety of commercial and
light industrial uses. On the north-east corner of the subject property is a single parcel zoned RMF-35 that
has been developed for multi-family uses. This property fronts on South West Temple.
While the CG zoning district potentially allows more intense uses, the applicant has expressed a desire to build
a new office on the property which would be allowed and supported by the CG zoning. It is also notable that
the use has already existed on the majority of the property for a long time. This issue is analyzed in more
detail in Attachment E: Analysis of Standards.
Consideration 2: Change in Zoning to CG (General Commercial) for the Entire Parcel
The applicant asked for a zone change to the CG – General Commercial zoning district in order to uniformly
zone the parcel and accommodate an expansion to the existing office use. The portion of the parcel that is
zoned RMF-35 together with the addition parcel zoned RMF-35 represents approximately 14.7% of the entire
area of the combined parcels. This equates to approximately 0.622 acres/27,000 square feet of the total
combined 4.24 acres/184,700 square foot parcel area. The current split-zoning of the property requires that
⚫ Page 4
redevelopment of the parcel for the current owner (or for a different owner in the future) would be subject to
different land use and building regulations and may have different requirements for things such as open space
and maximum street setback on one portion of the property compared to the other. This makes future
development of the parcel more cumbersome through the imposition of non-uniform zoning and building
rules on the property. Zoning the entire parcel uniformly CG would eliminate this issue.
Consideration 3: Master Plan and Current Zoning Considerations
The associated future land use map in the Central Community Master Plan currently designates the front
portion of the property as "Medium Density Residential" while the remainder of the property is designated as
"Medium Residential/Mixed Use." The petitioner is requesting to amend the future land use map so that the
entire property is designated as "Medium Residential/Mixed Use". This change would apply to
approximately 23% of the total 2.4 acre parcel. The master plan supports a business-friendly environment
that limits planning and zoning restrictions to those instance that provide clear and substantial benefits to
residents (Central Community Master Plan, 2005 – Vision – Vital and Sustainable Commerce – Page 3).
Given the overall commercial and industrial character of the area and the majority of the property already
being zoned CG, no substantial benefits would be provided to neighboring residents through a denial of the
changes to the master plan and zoning map amendment. Staff is recommending approval of the change to
the future land use map in the Master Plan to designate the property as Medium Residential/Mixed Use from
the current Medium Density Residential designation.
A change to CG zoning from the current RMF-35 would allow additional commercial and light industrial uses
on the subject portion of the parcel that are not currently allowed. As the majority (85%) of the total combined
parcel area already allows for mixed use and many more impactful commercial uses through the CG zoning
district than the current zone. Changing to the CG zone to allow for the office expansion will likely do very
little to change the overall character of the site. The majority of the site is already zoned CG and has been
zoned CG since 1995. Rezoning the remaining property to CG would not create new impacts to the area
because most of the property is already zoned CG. Staff is recommending approval of the zone change from
the RMF-35 to the CG zoning district for both the portion of the CG property and the additional parcel.
Consideration 4: Consideration of Alternate Zoning Districts
Planning Staff considered and analyzed different zoning districts for the subject portion of the property in lieu
of a change to the requested CG zoning district. A number of mixed use and other zones would allow for the
expansion of the office and parking, while limiting the maximum building height and limiting some of the
potentially more impactful uses allowed under the CG zoning. The other districts considered included the R-
MU, R-MU-35 and R-MU-45 (Residential/Mixed Use), the MU - Mixed Use, the RO- Residential Office, and,
the CB – Community Business zoning districts. While each of these districts would allow for an office on the
subject portion of the property, there were notable limitations on the maximum building height allowed for
non-residential buildings (limited to 20-feet in the R-MU-35/45), additional process steps required for
building an office (Planning Commission approval) or they allowed additional residential building height (up
to 75-feet in the R-MU zone). More notable was that a change to a district other than CG would also perpetuate
the issues associated with the current split-zoning of the property. Split-zoning makes future development of
the property cumbersome through the imposition of different standards and requirements on different
portions of the property. For these reasons and the issues identified in the Key Issues and Analysis of
Standards sections of this report, a change to an alternate zoning district in lieu of the original request is not
being recommended by staff.
⚫ Page 5
DISCUSSION:
The applicant has proposed to rezone a portion of their main property and an adjacent parcel from RMF-35
to GC in order to allow an expansion to their office space on the site. While the applicant has expressed a
desire to expand the existing business and office, consideration must be given toward a future scenario where
the entire property could be redeveloped under the CG zoning designation if the property were to be sold.
The GC zoning district allows a mix of land uses including retail sales and services, entertainment, offices,
heavy commercial and low intensity manufacturing and warehouse uses. It is generally located along major
arterials. Some of the uses allowed in the CG zoning district may be potentially impactful to surrounding
properties due to their nature and the more intense scale of activities that take place through regular
operational noise, odors from operations, increased traffic for deliveries and shipping of goods, and impacts
from customer traffic.
However, the overall area is not low density residential in nature, and the residential component exists within
a larger commercial and industrial area of the city. This area includes a number of heavy
commercial/industrial uses. The property immediately to the south of this site is used for the office and some
operations of Okland Construction. Their own use includes material and equipment storage that is more
intense than the envisioned office uses on the subject area of the property. The Okland site was rezoned in
2017 from a split zoning of RMF-35 to CG that was very similar to the conditions on the subject property.
Upon rezoning, Okland constructed a new office closer to South West Temple on the rezoned portion of their
property. The Intermountain Wood property has essentially the same limitations as was present on the
adjacent property and the owners have expressed a desire to rezone for similar reasons and construct new
office closer to South West Temple in order to meet company needs.
Given the nature of the site and that the majority of the property already allows more impactful uses in the CG
zone to take place, changing the front of the property and additional parcel to uniformly zone it and allow for
the office expansion will do little to change the overall character of the site and will not substantially increase
current or potential impacts.
NEXT STEPS:
The Planning Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration
as part of the final decision on these petitions. If ultimately approved, the applicant may proceed with the
submission of plans for the project.
If ultimately denied, the applicant would still be eligible to develop the properties in accordance with the
respective zoning regulations for each existing zoning.

ATTACHMENT C: Existing Conditions & Site Photographs
This proposal involves two parcels, the larger one which is approximately 3.93 acres in size and a smaller
adjacent parcel of approximately 0.311 acres. The larger parcel is currently split-zoned between GC and
RMF-35 zoning while the smaller parcel is entirely zoned RMF-35. On the larger parcel, approximately 92%
of the parcel is already zoned CG while the remaining 8% is zoned RMF-35.
Adjacent land uses and zoning include:
North: Single-family residential development on MacArthur Avenue – zoned R-1/5000 (Single-
family Residential).
South: Zoned CG (General Commercial). This property has been developed for commercial purposes
and houses the offices and some operations of Okland Construction.
East: On the east side of South West Temple properties are zoned R-1/5000 (Single-family
Residential) and have been developed as single-family homes. To the immediate east of the
subject property on the same side of South West Temple is a single parcel zoned RMF-35 that
has been developed for multi-family housing.
West: To the west of the subject property, properties are zoned CG (General Commercial) and have
been developed for a variety of commercial and industrial uses.
The overall development pattern of the area is not strictly a residential neighborhood, but is a mix of
commercial, industrial and residential uses based on the existing development and uses. While there is some
residential development, it exists within a larger area that is generally not predominantly residential in nature.
This is illustrated on the Zoning Map and Future Land Use Map in Attachment A of this report.

ATTACHMENT D: MASTER PLANS & ZONING
PLAN SALT LAKE ELEMENTS & CONSIDERATIONS
Plan Salt Lake (December 2015) outlines an overall vision of sustainable growth and development in the city.
This includes the development of a diverse mix of uses which is essential to accommodate responsible growth.
At the same time, compatibility, that is how new development fits into the scale and character of existing
neighborhoods is an important consideration. New development should be sensitive to the context of
surrounding development while also providing opportunities for new growth.
Guiding Principles specifically outlined in Plan Salt Lake include the following:
• Growing responsibly while providing people with choices about where they live, how they live, and
how they get around.
• A beautiful city that is people focused.
• A balanced economy that produces quality jobs and foster an environment for commerce, local
business, and industry to thrive.
The proposed zoning map amendment and overall project will help to implement the vision contained in
Plan Salt Lake and are supported by the policies and strategies in that document cited above.
CENTRAL COMMUNITY MASTER PLAN ELEMENTS
The subject area is discussed in the Central Community Master Plan (CCMP - 2005). More specifically, it is
located with the People’s Freeway Neighborhood Planning Area, a district characterized by a mixture of low-
density residential, and major manufacturing and commercial uses. The location of I-15 and railway lines
through the area supports many commercial and industrial uses.
The future land use map in the CCMP shows the subject area of the parcel as being medium density residential
which allows for 15-30 dwelling units per acre. This corresponds to the current RMF-35 zoning. The map also
shows the west part of the property as medium residential/mixed use which would allow for 10-50 dwelling
units per acre. This corresponds to the majority of the property which is currently zoned CG.
The CCMP includes this vision statement related to vital and sustainable commerce:
Limiting planning and zoning restrictions on businesses to those instances that provide clear and
substantial benefits to residents to sustain a business-friendly environment.
The residential land use policies in the CCMP include RLU 1.5 which speaks to using residential mixed use
zones to support commercial and small-scale office uses while monitoring the mix of uses to preserve the
residential component.
The Commercial Land Use policies in the CCMP (CLU-4.0 – Ensure commercial land uses are compatible
with neighboring properties) include items relating to ensuring that commercial land development does not
disrupt existing low-density residential neighborhoods and to the preservation of viable residential structures
that contribute to the fabric and character of the neighborhood. In this case, the overall area is not low-density
residential in character but rather part of a larger overall commercial and industrial area.
The master plan recognizes the mix of manufacturing and commercial uses that predominate in the area while
also including some low-density residential uses. This pattern is expected to continue. The project is in
alignment with the predicted future land uses in the area as reflected in the master plan.

ZONING COMPARISON SUMMARY
Existing Zoning – RMF-35 – Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential
Purpose Statement: The purpose of the RMF-35 Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential
District is to provide an environment suitable for a variety of moderate density housing types,
including single-family, two-family, and multi-family dwellings with a maximum height of thirty
five feet (35'). This district is appropriate in areas where the applicable Master Plan policies
recommend a density of less than thirty (30) dwelling units per acre. This district includes other
uses that are typically found in a multi-family residential neighborhood of this density for the
purpose of serving the neighborhood. Uses are intended to be compatible with the existing scale and
intensity of the neighborhood. The standards for the district are intended to provide for safe and
comfortable places to live and play, promote sustainable and compatible development patterns and
to preserve the existing character of the neighborhood.
The RMF-35 zoning district allows for multi-family, single-family and twin-home development but prohibits
retail and office uses as defined in Chapter 21A.33.020.

Proposed Zoning – CG – General Commercial Zoning District
Purpose Statement: The purpose of the CG General Commercial District is to provide an
environment for a variety of commercial uses, some of which involve the outdoor display/storage
of merchandise or materials. This district provides economic development opportunities through a
mix of land uses, including retail sales and services, entertainment, office, residential, heavy
commercial and low intensities of manufacturing and warehouse uses. This district is appropriate
in locations where supported by applicable master plans and along major arterials. Safe,
convenient and inviting connections that provide access to businesses from public sidewalks, bike
paths and streets are necessary. Access should follow a hierarchy that places the pedestrian first,
bicycle second and automobile third. The standards are intended to create a safe and aesthetically
pleasing commercial environment for all users.
The CG zoning district allows for a wide variety of commercial uses including warehouses, outdoor storage,
food production and larger scale retail operations among other uses as defined in Chapter 21A.33.030.

ATTACHMENT E: ANALYSIS OF STANDARDS
MASTER PLAN AMENDMENTS
State Law, Utah Code Annotated, Title 10 Chapter 9a, requires that all municipalities have a master plan.
However, there is no specific criteria relating to master plan amendments. The City does not have specific
criteria relating to master plan amendments. However, City Code Section 21A.02.040 – Effect of Adopted
Master Plans or General Plans addresses this issue in the following way:
All master plans or general plans adopted by the planning commission and city council for the
city, or for an area of the city, shall serve as an advisory guide for land use decisions. Amendments
to the text of this title or zoning map should be consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives and
policies of the applicable adopted master plan or general plan of Salt Lake City. (Ord. 26-95 § 2(1-
4), 1995)
In this case, the master plan is being amended in order to provide consistency between the Central Community
Master Plan and the zoning designation of the subject property. This request facilitates a rezoning of the
property to a district that will allow the office expansion on the subject property. State Law does include a
required process in relation to a public hearing and recommendation from the Planning Commission in
relation to a master plan amendment. The required process and noticing requirements have been met.
⚫ Page 16
ZONING MAP AMENDMENTS
21A.50.050: A decision to amend the text of this title or the zoning map by general amendment is a matter
committed to the legislative discretion of the city council and is not controlled by any one standard. In making a
decision to amend the zoning map, the City Council should consider the following:
Factor Finding Rationale
1. Whether a proposed map
amendment is consistent
with the purposes, goals,
objectives, and policies of
the city as stated through
its various adopted
planning documents;
Complies with
Master Plan policy
statements and
other documents
and policies
adopted by the
City.
The Central Community Master Plan (CCMP) speaks to limiting
planning and zoning restrictions on businesses to those instances that
provide clear and substantial benefits to residents to sustain a business-
friendly environment.
Consideration must be given in regard to the appropriateness of the
CG zoning district and the potential impacts it may have for this
area if the CG zoning were to be expanded. Staff believes that based
on the existing land uses and the adopted master plan, that rezoning
the front of the parcel to CG as requested is appropriate for the
following reasons:
• The property is located within a larger commercial and
industrial of the city that accommodates a number of heavy
commercial and industrial uses. The area is not solely
residential in nature.
• The majority of the property is already zoned CG. The split-
zoning on the property makes future development cumbersome
through the imposition of different standards and requirements
on different portions of the property.
• Since the majority of the property allows for CG uses, changing
the front of the property to uniformly zone it and allow for the
office expansion will do little to change the overall character of
the site and will not substantially increase current or potential
impacts.
A change to the CG zoning district is supported by the
proposed amendments to the master plan.
2. Whether a proposed map
amendment furthers the
specific purpose statements
of the zoning ordinance.
This has been
considered and the
proposal furthers
the specific purpose
statements of the
zoning ordinance.
The proposed zone change from RMF-35 to CG would support the
specific purposes of the zoning ordinance. The change would help
protect the tax base (E.) while helping to support the city’s business
development (G.)
The purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to promote the health, safety,
morals, convenience, order, prosperity and welfare of the present and
future inhabitants of Salt Lake City, to implement the adopted plans of
the city, and, in addition:
A. Lessen congestion in the streets or roads;
B. Secure safety from fire and other dangers;
C. Provide adequate light and air;
D. Classify land uses and distribute land development and utilization;
E. Protect the tax base;
F. Secure economy in governmental expenditures;
G. Foster the city's industrial, business and residential development; and
H. Protect the environment. (Ord. 26-95 § 2(1-3), 1995)
⚫ Page 17
3. The extent to which a
proposed map amendment
will affect adjacent
properties;
The map
amendment will
facilitate additional
development in the
area, specifically
expansion of the
existing office
building. While this
may create
additional impacts
on neighboring
properties, those
impacts will be
reviewed in relation
to any specific
future development
proposal.
The proposed GC zoning district would allow a mix of land uses
including heavy commercial and low intensity manufacturing and
warehouse uses along with residential uses. Some of the uses allowed in
the CG zoning district may be potentially impactful to surrounding uses
due to their nature and the more intense scale of activities that take place
through regular operational noise, odors from operations, increased
traffic for deliveries and shipping of goods, and impacts from customer
traffic.
It should be noted that the area is not low density residential in nature and
that the use has already existed on the majority of the property for a long
time and that the community and neighboring property owners have
expressed support for the proposal to rezone the property and allow an
expansion of the existing office building.
4. Whether a proposed map
amendment is consistent
with the purposes and
provisions of any applicable
overlay zoning districts
which may impose
additional standards
Complies The property is not located within an overlay zoning district that
imposes additional standards.
5. The adequacy of public
facilities and services
intended to serve the
subject property, including,
but not limited to,
roadways, parks and
recreational facilities,
police and fire protection,
schools, stormwater
drainage systems, water
supplies, and wastewater
and refuse collection.
The city has the
ability to provide
services to the
subject property.
The infrastructure
may need to be
upgraded at the
owner’s expense in
order to meet
specific City
requirements.
The proposed development of the subject properties was reviewed
by the various city departments tasked with administering public
facilities and services, and the Public Utilities Department identified
some issues that are outlined in Attachment G: Department
Comments that relate to the water, sewer and storm water
connections and infrastructure on the site. If the rezone is
approved, the proposal will need to comply with the applicable
requirements. Public Utilities and other departments will also be
asked to review any specific development proposals submitted at
that time.

Public Notice, Meetings, Comments
The following is a list of public meetings that have been held, and other public input opportunities, related to
the proposed project:
• Notice of the project and request for comments sent to the Chair of the Ball Park Community
Council on April 14, 2021.
• Staff sent an early notification announcement of the project to all residents and property owners
located within 300 feet of the project site on April 14, 2021 providing notice about the project and
information on how to give public input on the project.
• Staff hosted an online Open House to solicit public comments on the proposal. The Online Open
House period started on April 14, 2021 and ended on June 1, 2021.
• Staff and the applicant attended an online meeting of the Ball Park on May 6, 2021.
• The 45-day recognized organization comment period expired on June 1, 2021.
Notice of the public hearing for the proposal included:

• Public hearing notice sign posted on property: July 29, 2021
• Public notice posted on City & State websites and Planning Division list serve: July 29, 2021
Public Input:
As of the date of this staff report, the following comments were submitted in regard to the proposed changes.
• Steven Miles – via email 04/30/2021:
I live near Intermountain Wood. I am worried about more noise at night from them if
they are expanded.
• George Chapman – via email 5/11/2021:
I am against the proposal since there is no guarantee that the rezone will not
negatively impact the single family homes on the street. The potential negative impacts
are increased traffic going into or parking on the street and there is a proposal to
remove parking on West Temple for the cycle track in 2024. In addition, the rezone
would allow monster class heights and without a limit of 40 feet, the rezone is
inappropriate for the adjacent single family home areas. Adjacent properties should
not have a large increase in zoning or height. That is why there is supposed to be a
gradual rise in height from single family areas. The nearby Okland building works
since the parking lot is more convenient than parking on the street and the building
and entrance is set up so that neighbors are not impacted. I believe that the neighbors,
if and when they understand the potential negative impact of this proposal, will be
against it without a significant guarantee that the building height and design will not
impact the street and neighbors.
• Jana Kelsch – phone call approximately 07-13-2021
Had questions about the process and what was being planned as well as the general
impact of changes.
⚫ Page 19
At the Ball Park CC meeting of May 6, 2021, several attendees expressed concern about the
potential maximum height of any new development on the property and suggested that City
Council consider a maximum height limit if the zoning were to be changed.
Councilman Darin Mano was in attendance at the Ball Park CC meeting and suggested that such
a height limit could be accommodated through a development agreement. A development
agreement is a City Council matter and decision and not under the purview of the Planning
Commission. It is mentioned here for the purposes of documenting the public input and
comments made at the Ball Park CC meeting of May 6, 2021.

to a suggested Development Agreement pertaining to the maximum height and site development.
This is outlined in more detail in the Planning Commission recommendation in the Public Process
section of this memo.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Banks Group, LLC, property owner is requesting that
the City amend the zoning map and associated future land use map for the property located at 1950
South West Temple and a portion of the property located at 1948 South West Temple. The
property at 1948 South West Temple is currently split-zoned between the RMF-35 (Moderate
Density Multi-Family Residential) zone and the CG (General Commercial) zone. The entire parcel
Lisa Shaffer (Mar 8, 2022 15:18 MST)03/08/2022
03/08/2022
at 1950 South West Temple is zoned RMF-35. The requests are part of an effort to expand the
existing Intermountain Wood Products operation into a new office building with uniform zoning
on their properties. Through the zoning amendment request the identified properties would be
amended from RMF-35 to CG – General Commercial.
The Central Community Master Plan Future Land Use Map designates the properties as "Medium
Density Residential". The petitioner is requesting to amend the future land use map for the parcels
to "Medium Residential/ Mixed Use". No specific site development proposal has been submitted
at this time.
The subject properties are highlighted on the map exhibit below.
PUBLIC PROCESS:

MEMO | March 11, 2022
To: Salt Lake City Public Library Board of Directors, Salt Lake City Administration and City Council
From: Deborah Ehrman, Interim Executive Director
Re: Budget Amendment 1 for FY2021-22
Library Administration is requesting a $500,000 increase to the FY22 general fund budget. This increase
is required to budget and account for pass-through property tax revenue collected by Salt Lake County
and remitted directly to the Utah Inland Port Authority and the Convention Facility. Neither of these
entities has taxing authority, so the respective governments with taxing authority to which the tax
revenues would have gone must show the revenue and a corresponding expenditure in their financial
statements as required by Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statements 33 and 77. This
requirement was noted as part of the Salt Lake City’s FY 2020 audit, and the issue has been discussed
with Paul Skeen, the Library’s independent auditor, and Seth Oveson from the Office of the State Auditor
of Utah, both of whom confirmed this requirement.
A similar budget amendment was requested at the end of FY21. An estimate of these pass-through funds
has been included in the FY23 proposed budget, but knowledge of this requirement came at the end of
FY21 after the FY22 budget had been approved by the Board and submitted to the Salt Lake City
Administration and City Council.
Administration is requesting that this amendment be approved at the March 28, 2022 meeting, so the
amendment can be forwarded to the Salt Lake City Administration and City Council. The amendment is
time sensitive and needs to be approved by both the Library Board and Salt Lake City Council prior to the
end of FY2022.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Sylvia Richards, Budget and Policy Analyst
DATE: April 19, 2022
RE: Written Briefing: THE BLOCKS Year Four Overview and Year Five Budget and Plan
________________________________________________________________________________
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Administration has provided a transmittal which includes an overview of the City’s THE BLOCKS
(formerly known as the Cultural Core) Year Four overview and Year Five budget and plan. As Council Members
may recall, the City and Salt Lake County formed a partnership to promote and develop arts and culture in the
Cultural Core, and a twenty-year taxing district was created to fund this effort. The City and County’s Interlocal
Agreement for the THE BLOCKS is governed by a six-member advisory budget committee, with direct
oversight from City and County staff. A public RFP process resulted in a five-year contract with ‘Downtown
SLC Presents’ which is active through July 2022. The purpose of this briefing is to fulfill the requirement of the
Interlocal Agreement which requires a City Council briefing.
Council Members may wish to ask whether the contract with ‘Downtown SLC Presents’
will be renewed at the end of the contract period in July.
BUDGET AND POLICY ISSUES
Each entity, (the City and County), contributes $250,000 annually per the Interlocal Agreement. The Council
may recall that for Year 4, the County did not contribute due to the economic effects of COVID-19. However,
the County Council has since voted to restore the funding for year 5 of the contract. THE BLOCKS budget
committee has reviewed and approved the plans and budget for Year 5. Below is a summary of Year 4.
Marketing and Promotional Efforts: Program adjustments continued during Year 4 as a result of the
COVID-19 Pandemic. Specific emphasis was placed on digital ads, social media and online streaming content.
According to the Administration, total campaign impressions in Year Four were 24,841,816 since July
2020, an increase of 525,000 year-over-year.
The people, spaces, places, and opportunities were highlighted to engage with the arts during the closure of
key venues.
Investments were made in placemaking, programming and partnerships to reinforce downtown as the
cultural core of the intermountain west.
Project Timeline:
Written Briefing: April 19, 2022
Page | 2
As venues, programs and events were cancelled or postponed, the Main Street Kiosks were repurposed to
provide advertising for more than 20 art exhibits and programs.
Annual in-person events were reimagined as hybrid events with in-person and online participation.
Large scale art installations were brought to the Gallivan Center and were especially popular during the
holidays.
Open Streets was piloted last Fall and created a pedestrian-friendly area allowing businesses to expand
their venues and safely serve additional customers.
Utah Arts and Museums, the State’s art agency, helped by connecting the Arts Council with additional local
arts agencies that previously had not engaged with THE BLOCKS.
Note: Additional details regarding Year 4 and Year 5 expenses, metrics and programming can be found in the Cultural
Core Year 4 Overview & Year 5 Budget and Plan, which is included in the Administration’s transmittal.
The Cultural Core Action Plan Implementation Manager Agreement is attached for the Council’s reference.

Benchmark Study:
Council staff requested a copy of the annual benchmark survey. In response, the Administration provided the
following information:
“For eight consecutive years, Downtown Alliance conducted a telephone survey of 600 Utah residents to
understand their opinions of downtown as a destination for arts and other amenities. We have concluded that
actual visitation is a more meaningful metric than self-assessed visit frequency or residents’ speculation about
visiting in the future. Telephone surveys also have inherent biases and typically do not capture opinions of
underserved communities. The Arts Council has committed to the following benchmark efforts:
1.We will measure public opinion of the downtown Cultural Core by gathering visitation
metrics using Placer.ai data. Downtown Alliance subscribes to the Placer.ai data set. We compare
visitation in specific areas, time of day, and events to understand visitor trends.
2.We will measure audience diversity by examining Cultural Core visitors’ neighborhoods
of origin, and spending using Zartico data. This will provide insights on Cultural Core patrons
and their economic impact. This data will inform how we adjust programming and promotions to
Page | 3
expand and diversify the audience. We have access to this powerful data source through our strategic
partner Visit Salt Lake.
3.We will seek a collaboration with primary ticket sellers in the core to collect and publish
ticket sales data. We will collect and aggregate monthly ticket sales data for venues in the cultural
core in order to measure progress. This will include raw monthly ticket sales data (not performance-
specific ticket sales) for venues serviced by ArtTix, 24tix and Vivint Arena. We recognize that there may
be other venues (e.g. UMOCA) that could provide monthly attendance data that could be aggregated
here. We feel strongly that ticket sales cannot be a singular metric because it does not capture the
diversity of artistic content nor the diversity of audience at hundreds of free arts offerings every month
in the Cultural Core.
4.We will continue to track our employment of artists and specifically report the number of
artists from BIPOC and marginalized communities.
5.We will continue to report marketing engagement data from our social, digital and mass media
channels.
6.We will publish quarterly data, visitation trends, ticket sales and artist employment by the
Cultural Core to the Cultural Core Budget Committee and arts stakeholders.
We also look forward to adapting other measurement sources (i.e. Kem C. Gardner Institute, Americans
for the Arts Economic Impact Calculator) that the Cultural Core Budget Committee deems to be an
appropriate expenditure.”

manual process and a data dump. Since then, Finance and IMS have developed a software database so that sales tax allocations
can be accurately calculated.

COORDINTATION: The Blocks, Salt Lake County Arts & Culture
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
In 2010, the City and County of Salt Lake formed a partnership to promote and develop arts and
culture in the Cultural Core and established a taxing district to provide a reliable revenue source
for a 20-year period. In 2011, a series of community conversations with stakeholders established
foundational goals for the plan including creative placemaking - physical development of the
district, and Creative programming - marketing, promotions, and audience development. The
City and County’s Interlocal Agreement for the Cultural Core is governed by a six-member
advisory Budget Committee, with direct oversight from City and County staff. A public RFP
process resulted in a 5-year contract with Downtown SLC Presents (The Blocks) which is active
through July 2022. The annual appropriation from Salt Lake City (approved for FY22) is
$250,000 with Salt Lake County also contributing $250,000 annually. This briefing on budget
and plans is a requirement of the Interlocal Agreement.
Additionally, the County Council has since voted in favor of restored funding for year 5 of the
contract, after a temporary pause in year 4 due to the economic effects of COVID-19.
4 YEAR PERFORMANCE AND YEAR 5 PLAN
The Cultural Core Budget Committee has reviewed and approved the plans and budget for Year
Lisa Shaffer (Aug 4, 2021 14:35 MDT)
Five of the Cultural Core initiative which is part of the approved FY22 budget. Below is an
executive summary of year-4 performance and year-5 plans.
From Lucas Goodrich, The Blocks, Program Director
YEAR-4: July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021
Though campaign tactics, placement, timing, and format was adjusted due to the pandemic,
THE BLOCKS continued to heavily invest in marketing and promoting arts and culture
programming in the cultural core. During the pandemic a specific focus was put on digital ads,
social media, and online and streaming content. These efforts resulted in consistent growth of
public awareness of cultural offerings, THE BLOCKS programming, and drove a 525,000
increase in total campaign impressions year over year. Total campaign impressions in year 4
came in at 24,841,816.
Success was validated with data collected through our website, media partners and social
media channels as well as feedback from the creative community, the Cultural Core Arts
Advisory Committee, and venues. THE BLOCKS worked hard to highlight the people, spaces,
places, and opportunities to engage with the arts during the closure of key venues. Video shoots
at UMOCA and Fice Alley that were then shared online, increased physical banners across our
city, and highlighting artists and arts groups that were reimagining programming during the
pandemic, increased brand awareness and gained market share for THE BLOCKS.
THE BLOCKS invested in placemaking, programming and partnerships to reinforce downtown
as the cultural core of the intermountain west. We continued to invest in THE BLOCKS Public
Art and Mural Trail app with videos, photos and artist information on over 60 pieces of public
art and murals within THE BLOCKS. We recently added County venues to the app and are
working to add additional venues as well as place QR code stickers in all cultural core venues.
These efforts resulted in a 25% growth of new and returning users to our app. We invested in
street pole banners to promote organizations producing programming within the cultural core
and partnered with the Utah Cultural Alliance on a campaign aimed at reigniting visibility for
arts, culture, and entertainment.
As venues shuttered and programs and events were cancelled or postponed, we quickly
repurposed our Main Street Kiosks. These kiosks provide more than $80,000 in advertising
value each year for cultural core programmers. Rather than keep the windows bare, we created
Exhibitions on Main, an opportunity for artists to showcase their bodies of work. This was an
opportunity to increase the visibility, quality, and quantity of visual art in our city. This new
program featured artists from across Salt Lake City. Year over year we doubled the number of
direct artist support to over 200 artists, makers, and creators creating content downtown.
Last Hurrah, an annual legacy event was reimagined as a hybrid event with in-person and
online participation opportunities. Over 600 attendees in person and 3000 viewers tuned in via
YouTube. Going forward we hope to keep the online streaming component to more broadly
share the opportunity. Locally Made, Locally Played, a new partnership with KUAA radio to
feature local musicians was created. This program, airing twice a week, reached viewers
internationally, nationally, and throughout our state. 48% of listeners tuned in from Salt Lake
City. Large scale art installations were brought to the Gallivan Center. These installations were
especially popular during the holidays. Combined efforts with downtown holiday lighting drove
audiences to the cultural core. Finally, Open Streets was piloted in the fall. The closure of Main
Street, creating a pedestrian promenade and allowing businesses to expand their premises to
safely serve additional customers was a huge success. THE BLOCKS programmed heavily
during the event and were proud to not only feature the breadth and depth of our creative
community, but to provide an opportunity for artists from across the county to showcase their
talents. For a majority of them this was their first paid performance since the pandemic broke
out.
We continued our outreach and engagement with arts and culture stakeholders and identified
needs within the creative community so that we may provide targeted marketing and promotion
support and programming and event support. This outreach also enabled us to shore up our
physical assets so that programmers and organizations have the needed materials to produce
events and programs. Utah Arts and Museums, the State’s art agency, was very helpful in
connecting us with additional local arts agencies that previously had not engaged with THE
BLOCKS.
Year-5: July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022
Though programming within Salt Lake’s Cultural Core was significantly impacted due to
COVID-19, reactivation is quickly taking place. Continued investment in the individuals,
organizations, and venues programming in the core continues to be a priority. We will focus
efforts on building audiences and growing awareness of the vast arts, culture, and entertainment
opportunities in THE BLOCKS.
Not only is it vital to the creative community and the substantial legacy of world class offerings,
itis crucial to the economic vibrancy of our City, County, and entire state. Throughout the
pandemic, the creative community showed their ability to innovate, reimagine offerings, and
find impactful and meaningful ways to ensure the rich artistic and cultural heritage is
maintained. These efforts will continue to be supported by THE BLOCKS in year 5 and beyond.
In year 5 THE BLOCKS will focus on promoting existing arts organizations’ programming and
investing in placemaking throughout the cultural core. Our marketing and promotion strategies
will continue to target audiences across the County, State, and Intermountain west. As more and
more organizations recognize the viability of online content and virtual programming, we will
continue to invest in photographic and video assets. This will ensure not only a rich asset bank
for use in our ongoing promotions and marketing campaigns, but will help THE BLOCKS and
the creative community have a greater online presence.
Program and event expenses are focused on increasing artist opportunities, supplementing
existing arts organization programming, working closely with arts organizations to curate
content and offerings, audience development, and providing opportunities for our creative
community to program through the continuation of various placemaking projects and strategic
deployments of the BLOCKS Truck and assets.
THE BLOCKS moved quickly to adapt over the last 18 months and reimagined much of
what we do. We emerged out of this pandemic better than when we went in and gained
market share through our marketing and promotion efforts. We also achieved growth in
partnerships, artist support, programming. The work completed, investments made and
overall impact in year four of THE BLOCKS have had great support from our creative
community stakeholders, Cultural Core Budget Committee Representatives, downtown
businesses and audiences. THE BLOCKS reach, brand awareness, and overall impact
continues to grow and the implementation of the Cultural Core Master Plan is on target.
The partnerships that have been forged will continue to strengthen and grow, creating
exciting opportunities for Arts and Culture to flourish and guide THE BLOCKS over the
coming years. Thank you for your support.

If you've ever strolled downtown New Orleons, Nashville or Son
Francisco, you're aware of how street performers-aka b uskers-add
to the cultural richness of those cities . This weekend , Salt Lake's
heart will thrum with a similar ene rgy wh en more than 60 buskers
descend on downtown as part of the third annual SLC Busker Fest .
"The lineup of performers for this year's event is really the best we've had," says Kim
Angeli, owner of Primrose Productions, SLC Busker Fest presenter, which was held
previously in 2018 and 2019. "I think it will not only be on amazin g experience for
attendees but a really va luable learning experi ence for local talent as well."
Singing and/or playing an inst rument is probably the most common form of busking
But t he really cool port about !..!:ll.i~ is how much more diverse its genres tend
t o be compared to what you'd typically see in a brick-and-mortar setting. In addition
to musicians and vocalists, performers booked for SLC Busker Fest include sword
swallowers, puppeteers, aerialists, mimes, jugglers, hula hoopers, lassoists,
comedians and magicians
