C.POTENTIAL ACTION ITEMS:
1. Ordinance: Shared Housing Zoning Text Amendments (formerly
Single Room Occupancy or SROs)
The Council will consider adopting an ordinance that would amend various
sections of Title 21A of the Salt Lake City Code pertaining to Single Room
Occupancy (SRO) uses (to be called Shared Housing uses). The proposed
amendments would redefine what was previously Single Room Occupancy (SRO)
housing to Shared Housing, and defines it as a residential building, or part of one,
that contains smaller housing units consisting of one or more sleeping rooms and
may contain either a private kitchen or private bathroom, but not both. In the
updated proposal, units could contain multiple sleeping rooms, rather than
limiting the unit to one sleeping room. Other sections of Title 21A – Zoning may
also be amended as part of this petition. Petition No.: PLNPCM2018-00066

Petro-Eschler, Alejandro Puy
Final Result: 7 – 0 Pass
Minutes:

maximum number of people in the units sharing bathrooms/kitchens) of the units adds a
dignified alternative and valuable option for affordable housing.

were heard and impacted the ordinance for the better and hopefully the ordinance
represented a compromise for the City.
2. Ordinance: Zoning Text Amendments for Off-street Parking

sections of the Salt Lake City Code pertaining to off-street parking regulations.

Final Result: 6 – 1 Pass
Minutes:
Council Member Mano moved to approve the ordinance amending various sections of
Title 21A pertaining to RMF-30 Low Density Multi-Family Residential District.
Council Member Puy suggested the substitute motion including the waiting period of 180
days; stated the reasoning for the substitute motion was that there were other ordinances
in the works and there may be unintended consequences if this ordinance were pushed
forward that may be minimized, the 180 days would allow for time to work through other
changes.
Council Members and Cindy Gust-Jensen discussed the process for voting on the
original/substitute motion and what would happen after the 180 days if the other
ordinances were not adopted/ready.
Council Member Fowler stated the other ordinances were mitigation/displacement
policies, appreciated a compromise but did not feel the concerns of the public had been
addressed.
Council Member Valdemoros stated the ordinances Staff was working on were the
Thriving in Place and the Housing Loss Mitigation Plan which were aids to the subject
ordinance.

property at approximately 16 South 800 West from Transit Station Area District -
Urban Neighborhood Station - Transition (TSA-UN-T) to Transit Station Area

also amend the North Temple Boulevard Plan. The proposed amendments are
intended to allow the property owner to build a mixed-use building with a
possibility of a maximum height of 75 feet. No development plans have been
submitted by the applicant at this time. Consideration may be given to rezoning
the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics. Petition No.:

Westside; the crime rates and how the rezone could affect the surrounding

trauma, efforts to help the residents be heard, and need for assurance to be given to the
residents of the Westside that future development would not be taken lightly. (Full

as services and resources to include on-site healthcare, medical services, and

Katie Pappas, Brian Moench, Tena Rohr, Maureen Grossman, Monica
Hilding, Nancy Alice McHugh, Carolyn Erickson and Courtney Henley spoke in
opposition of the Interlocal Agreement with the Inland Port, specifically:
•Agreement to be put on hold to allow for public input
•25 years was too long for the agreement as things changed and corrections
might be needed
•Doing it right should take priority over doing it fast
•At the Port Authority meeting, most spoke in opposition to the agreement noting
the need for further review
•The Great Salt Lake needed to be saved and could not give water to the Inland Port
•Property taxes should go to the City, not the Inland Port
•Most impactful thing would be to shut the Inland Port down before more harm was
done to the environment
MINUTES OF THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL

•Agreement was not advantageous to Salt Lake City, urged more time to review and

how it had been increasingly difficult for renters to buy homes or find cheaper rentals,
thanked the Council for applying the 180 day waiting period to the RMF-30 proposal,
and thanked Council Member Fowler for her work on the RMF-30 zoning.
Judi Short asked the Council to ensure Staff worked to create ordinances/policies
for housing and keep it affordable, suggested monthly progress reports to ensure the
ordinances were working.
Lynn Schwarz spoke to shared housing; RMF-30 housing ordinances and proposed
affordable housing initiative were likely to have a displacement impact on affordable
housing as it currently stood, mitigation efforts were not working, the need to ensure
people were not being displaced to create developments, and ensuring effective
mitigation was in place before these ordinance took hold.
Bob Danielson commended the Council for approving the Other Side Village, asked for
the current Shelter Providers to be held accountable for conditional use permits and
called out issues within District five.
Council Member Mano read a statement in response to Bob Danielson’s comment and to
the issues being rectified. (Full statement attached to the Meeting Materials).
Nigel Swaby spoke to the property on the west side that was being rezoned from
manufacturing to Transit Station Area, said a Master Plan should be put in place before
the rezone was complete, business were moving out of the area, and a master plan would
help give people confidence in what could happen in the area.
Maureen Botoman stated the rezone on F Street contributed positively to the area as it
fit with the character of the neighborhood, the Avenues Master Plan was outdated and
did not apply to the current nature of the area, requested the Council’s support of the
rezone.
Levy Woodruff spoke in support of a letter from the Seven Faiths regarding adequate
housing for homeless individuals before the winter months and ensuring new housing
was affordable.
Dave Iltis spoke in favor of higher density in the upper Avenues with the addition of a
park and wildlife habitat, agreed with the comments about the Inland Port, detailed a

mental health of the homeless, The Pointe by the Airport being the better option for the
homeless; and air-quality was deteriorating because of the tailings from Rio Tinto that

owned alley situated adjacent to properties located at 1518, 1530, 1540, South Main Street
and 1515 South Richards Street. The intent of these petitions would be to combine all
parcels as well as the alley into one cohesive parcel under the new zoning in order to
build a mixed-use/multi-family development on the site. Consideration may be given to
rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics.

BRIEFING UPDATE
At the November 10, 2022 briefing, Planning staff updated the Council about how the proposal aligns with
the recently adopted Ballpark Station Area Plan. The subject parcels straddle the Plan’s “Main Street,” and
“Neighborhood” Areas, with the alley as a dividing line. It was noted the Plan calls for buildings in the
“Main Street Area” up to three stories, while the proposal is four stories. The “Neighborhood Area” says
new buildings should be compatible with existing structures. The proposed development would increase
both scale and intensity from what exists.
As shown in the image below, Kensington Avenue is at the northern edge of the subject parcels. In the
Ballpark Station Area Plan, buildings north of Kensington Avenue are recommended to be 3-4 stories,
while south of Kensington, it advises a maximum of three stories. Planning staff explained from an urban
design viewpoint, buildings on corner lots are often taller than mid-block.
Council Members asked about off-street parking, bicycle storage and maintenance facilities, and family-
sized units. The petitioner agreed to a minimum of 0.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit and said the
proposed development will likely include additional parking.
The petitioner stated each of their developments in the FB-UN2 zoning district includes bike rooms with
secure storage and maintenance facilities. Following the briefing, Council staff reached out to the petitioner
for details about larger units and bicycle storage/maintenance facilities. They are planning on a minimum
of 10 two-bedroom units. Design details are not finalized so the mix of studio and one-bedroom units is
unknown at this point.

The petitioner is willing to include a bike maintenance area. They were not planning on a bike storage area
but are amenable to include one provided they have flexibility to scale it based upon resident demand. The
Council may wish to confirm bike storage details the developer is willing to include in a development
agreement.
The following information was provided for the November 10, 2022 Council briefing.
It is provided again for background purposes.
STAFF NOTE
The Ballpark Station Area Plan was adopted by the Council after these petitions were submitted. That plan
overrides the Central Community Master Plan for the area, so the Council will not need to act on petition
PLNPCM2022-00065 to amend the Central Community Master Plan future land use map.
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map and master plan for parcels at 1518,
1530, 1540, 1546 South Main Street, and 1515 South Richards Street in City Council District Five, from CC
(Corridor Commercial) and R-1/5,000 (single-family residential) to FB-UN2 (Form Based Urban
Neighborhood). A request to change the Central Community Master Plan future land use map from
Community Commercial to High Mixed-Use is also proposed. In addition, a request to vacate a City-owned
alley that runs through the properties is included in the proposal. (See image below.)
The petitioner’s intent is to consolidate the seven parcels (some parcels share the same address), and the
alley into one larger (approximately 2 acre) parcel with FB-UN2 zoning to develop a mixed-use
development on the site. No specific site development proposal has been submitted as of the writing of this
report.
Two duplexes and two single-family homes would be removed for a total loss of six housing units as part of
the proposal. Replacement of the housing units was the option selected for housing loss mitigation as
discussed in Consideration 4 below.
These proposals were reviewed by the Planning Commission at its July 27, 2022 meeting and a public
hearing was held at which five people spoke. Some comments were supportive of redeveloping the area and
closing the alley. Concerns expressed included the size of the proposed development is out of scale for the
neighborhood and would impact the area, particularly those who live adjacent to the property; changing
the zoning from prevalent existing Corridor Commercial zoning of properties fronting Main Street in the
area; additional rental units will not benefit the already predominately renter occupied neighborhood; and
concern for residents who would be displaced when existing housing is removed.
The Commission closed the hearing and voted unanimously to forward a positive recommendation to the
City Council with the following conditions:
1. Housing removed from the site must be replaced.
2. Vacated alley property be integrated into the future development.
3. Rezoned parcels must be consolidated through the appropriate process.

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 if any units in the proposed building will be affordable, and at what
percentage of AMI.
2. The Council may wish to ask if current residents of the properties will be assisted with relocation.
3. The Council may wish to ask the developer for the anticipated mix of rental units in the proposed
development.
Page | 4
4. The petitioner expressed a willingness to provide “ample” off-street parking in the proposed
development. The Council may wish to ask what parking ratios are being considered and if the
petitioner is amenable to including this in a development agreement.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property, amend the future land use map, and
vacate the alley. 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.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Planning staff identified six key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 3-9 of the
Planning Commission staff report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the staff
report.
Consideration 1-Compliance with City Goals, Policies and Plans
The Central Community Master Plan (2005) is the current relevant plan for this area. The Plan’s future
land use map shows the properties fronting Main Street, and the motel as “Community Commercial.” The
property fronting Richards Street is listed as “Medium Density Residential.”
Planning staff found the following Central Community Master Plan policies and statements applicable to
this proposal:
•RLU (Residential Land Use)-1.3- Restrict high-density residential growth to Downtown, East
Downtown, TOD areas and Gateway.
•RLU-1.5 - Use residential mixed uses zones to provide residential land uses with supportive retail,
service and commercial uses.
•Mixed Use Policy – RLU-4.0 - Encourage mixed use development that provides residents with a
commercial and institutional component while maintaining the residential character of the
neighborhood.
•Mixed Use Policy – RLU-4.2 – Support small mixed use development on the corners of major
streets that does not have significant adverse impact on the residential neighborhood.
•Commercial land use policy CLU-1.4 – High Density Mixed Use – Target areas adjacent to light rail
station in the downtown area for higher intensity commercial use and medium to high density
housing.
•Ensure that new development is compatible with existing neighborhood in terms of scale,
character, and density.
It is Planning’s opinion that the proposal is supported by some Central Community Master Plan policies
and statements, while others do not.
The Ballpark Station Area Plan is in draft form and has not been adopted. The draft Plan has been
discussed with the community and references to it were included in some comments to Planning. The
subject petitions may meet some elements of the Ballpark Station Area Plan while not meeting others. It is
worth noting since no specific development proposal has been submitted, and the Plan has not been
adopted, it is not possible to determine if the petitions would comply.
Page | 5
Plan Salt Lake (2015) outlines an overall vision of sustainable growth and development in the city.
Included in the Plan is a recommendation to develop a mix of uses needed to accommodate responsible
growth. New development scale and character compatibility with the existing neighborhood is also a
consideration.
Planning staff stated
“The proposed development is supported by general principles and initiatives found in Plan Salt
Lake. It would provide additional housing options within a walkable neighborhood with
commercial services served by convenient transit opportunities.”
It is Planning staff’s opinion the proposal is in line with Growing SLC: A Five-Year Housing Plan – 2018-
2022 (2017), which calls for providing more housing units and housing variety in the neighborhood.
Consideration 2-Neighborhood Compatibility & Anticipated Impacts
Neighborhood compatibility and impacts from new development are important considerations when
reviewing zoning changes. The applicant stated they intend to remove the motel and other structures on
the subject parcels. As noted above, no specific site plan has been submitted and the property could
potentially be developed with other uses allowed under the FB-UN2 zoning designation.
Existing CC zoning would allow buildings up to 30 feet by right, and up to 45 feet through Design Review.
The proposed FB-UN2 zoning would allow buildings up to 50 feet tall if zoning standards are met. It is
worth noting the petitioner originally included a request additional height up to 65 feet on the parcels. That
request was withdrawn following community and staff feedback.
Additional standards including glass percentages, building materials and ground floor uses in the FB-UN2
zoning district are not required in CC zoning. When abutting single-family residential zoning, FB-UN2
zoning requires added upper floor step backs to lessen impact to lower scale adjacent development. CC
zoning does not include this requirement. (These standards are included in the Zoning District Comparison
table found on pages 8-10 below.)
Planning staff found the proposed FB-UN2 zoning designation would not create additional impacts to the
neighborhood beyond existing zoning if the properties were redeveloped.
Consideration 3-Consideration of Alternate Zoning Districts
Planning staff reviewed the R-MU-45 zoning district as a potential alternative to the requested FB-UN2. It
has similar characteristics as FB-UN2 including a maximum height of 45 feet which is why they selected it
for comparison. Development standards for the ground floor and upper floor step backs are also included
under R-MU-45, but not in the current CC zoning district. (See Zoning District Comparison below.)
A key difference between FB-UN2 and R-MU-45 is parking requirements. FB-UN2 does not require off-
street parking. The petitioner stated they intend to provide adequate parking and are amenable to a
development agreement including that requirement.
In its review, Planning found more of the allowed uses in R-MU-45 are conditional rather than permitted,
which would require additional processes when reviewing a development proposal. Other zoning districts
allow both residential and mixed-use developments, with varying height and other requirements.
Planning staff did not recommend consideration of alternate zoning districts.
Page | 6
Consideration 4-Housing Loss Mitigation Requirements
When considering petitions for zoning changes that permit nonresidential land uses on property that
includes residential dwelling units, Salt Lake City Code requires a City approved housing loss mitigation
plan. The subject petition proposes to remove six existing housing units. Additional housing units are
proposed, but a plan is required as FB-UN2 zoning allows nonresidential uses.
Mitigating housing loss may include providing replacement housing or paying a fee to the City’s housing
trust fund based on the difference between the housing value and replacement cost of building new units.
For deteriorated housing, not caused by deliberate indifference by the property owner, a flat fee may be
paid by the petitioner to the City’s housing trust fund.
A plan satisfying the mitigation requirement by providing replacement housing was submitted. This plan
was evaluated and approved by the Community and Neighborhoods Department Director. The Council has
the option to work with the petitioner to include replacement housing units as part of a development
agreement.
Consideration 5-Alley Vacation Request
As discussed above, an alley vacation is part of the petitioner’s proposal. The subject alley is approximately
250 feet long and 16 feet wide. The alley is said to be blocked for most of its length and is being used for
parking and storage.
Alley vacation requests receive three phases of review, as outlined in section 14.52.030 Salt Lake City Code
(see pages 11-13 below). Those phases include an administrative determination of completeness; a public
hearing, including a recommendation from the Planning Commission; and a public hearing before the City
Council.
Salt Lake City Code requires alley vacations meet at least one of the following policy considerations:
A-Lack of Use, B-Public Safety, C-Urban Design, or D-Community Purpose. Urban Design and Public
Safety are the factors for this request. The petitioner believes the alley is not a positive urban design
element and would be better used as part of their proposed development. They also believe the alley
contributes to crime in the area. SLCPD officers reportedly discussed in community meetings the motel
and alley are problem areas in the area, though no reports have been provided detailing the alley’s
contribution to crime.
Alley vacations are also required to include a petition with signatures of at least 75% of abutting property
owners indicating support of the proposed vacation. The petitioner received signatures from six of the eight
abutting property owners. There was no opposition to the alley vacation expressed by those who didn’t sign
the petition.
City Department Review
During City department and division review of the petitions, the Engineering Division expressed
opposition to the alley vacation, stating “SLC Engineering does not support the proposed alley vacation.
The power runs down the alley on both sides (with the transformers) and it appears that underground
utilities may also exist. They are parking vehicles in the alley currently.”
Public Utilities provided comments saying it does not have utility lines in the subject alley. They noted
private water and sewer lines likely are within the alley, but those are owned by the petitioner.
No objections or concerns were received from other responding City departments or divisions.

Analysis of Factors
Pages 50-52 of the Planning Commission staff report outlines 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.
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
Whether a proposed map amendment furthers the
specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance.
Complies
The extent to which a proposed map amendment will
affect adjacent properties
Complies
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
(not within any
zoning overlays)
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.
Complies
Pages 53-55 of the Planning Commission staff report includes an analysis of factors City Code requires the
Planning Commission to consider for alley vacations (Section 14.52.030 B Salt Lake City Code). In addition to
the information above, other factors are summarized below. Planning staff found the proposed alley vacation
complies with the factors below. For the complete analysis, please refer to the staff report.
•City Code required analysis: The City Police Department, Fire Department, Transportation Division
and all other relevant City departments and divisions have no reasonable objection to the proposed
disposition of the property.
Finding: Planning staff believes it complies. As noted above, City Engineering objected to the alley
vacation. Other City departments and divisions had no issues with the proposal or did not provide
comments. (Department review comments are found in Attachment H (page 95 of the Planning
Commission staff report).) Planning staff stated “The Engineering Department does not support the
request while Public Utilities has no objections. Part of the objections of Engineering concerned the
possible location of utilities underground in the alley. Public Utilities indicated that there may be some
water lines but did not have concerns. Since the site consists of multiple parcels to be combined, the
issue of utilities and any required relocation will be dealt with on an individual development proposal
under consideration.”
•City Code required analysis: The petition meets at least one of the policy considerations for closure,
vacation or abandonment of City owned alleys (Lack of Use, Public Safety, Urban Design, Community
Purpose).
Finding: Complies. Planning staff determined the proposed alley vacation satisfies the Urban Design
and Public Safety policy considerations.
Page | 8
•City Code required analysis: The petition must not deny sole access or required off-street parking to
any adjacent property.
Finding: Complies. Vacating the alley would not impact parking or sole access to any property.
•City Code required analysis: The petition will not result in any property being landlocked.
Finding: Complies. No property would be landlocked because of this alley vacation request.
•City Code required analysis: The disposition of the alley property will not result in a use which is
otherwise contrary to the policies of the City, including applicable master plans and other adopted
statements of policy which address, but are not limited to, mid-block walkways, pedestrian paths, trails,
and alternative transportation uses.
Finding: Closing the alley will not result in uses that are contrary to any City policy.
•City Code required analysis: No opposing abutting property owner intends to build a garage
requiring access from the property, or has made application for a building permit, or if such a permit has
been issued, construction has been completed within 12 months of issuance of the building permit.
Finding: Complies. No abutting property owners expressed opposition to the proposed alley vacation.
•City Code required analysis: The petition furthers the City preference for disposing of an entire
alley, rather than a small segment of it.
Finding: Complies. The alley does not pass fully through the block between Andrew Avenue and Van
Buren. Planning stated, “Since there is no continuation to the alley, for all intents and purposes this
remaining segment would act as an “entire alley” so this factor has been met.”
•City Code required analysis: The alley property is not necessary for actual or potential rear access to
residences or for accessory uses.
Finding: Complies. The alley is not necessary for rear access to residences.
It is Planning staff’s opinion that the proposed alley vacation generally meets the policy considerations and
factors for alley vacations. They noted the Engineering Division is opposed to the request, but those
objections did not consider redevelopment of the site which will likely remove or relocate utilities on the
site.
Consideration 6-Public Input and Concerns
Most comments received by the Planning Division regarding the proposal are in opposition to the rezoning.
Many people expressed frustration with the existing motel and other properties that are included in this
proposal creating neighborhood issues, and a desire for change. Concern with the proposed building’s
height and scale, along with resulting neighborhood impacts are the primary reasons people expressed for
their opposition. The Ballpark Community Council sent a letter to Planning staff outlining its opposition to
the proposed zoning amendments, and support of the alley vacation. This letter and other written
comments received prior to the Planning Commission public hearing are found on pages 57-94 of the
Planning Commission staff report. Comments received by Planning following the Planning Commission
staff report was published are found on pages 65-87 of the Administration’s transmittal.

Salt Lake City Code for Alley Vacation
The process for closing or vacating a City-owned alley is outlined in Section 14.52 Salt Lake City Code.
14.52.010: DISPOSITION OF CITY'S PROPERTY INTEREST IN ALLEYS:
The city supports the legal disposition of Salt Lake City's real property interests, in whole or in part,
with regard to city owned alleys, subject to the substantive and procedural requirements set forth
herein.
14.52.020: POLICY CONSIDERATIONS FOR CLOSURE, VACATION OR
ABANDONMENT OF CITY OWNED ALLEYS:
The city will not consider disposing of its interest in an alley, in whole or in part, unless it receives a
petition in writing which demonstrates that the disposition satisfies at least one of the following
policy considerations:
A. Lack Of Use: The city's legal interest in the property appears of record or is reflected on an
applicable plat; however, it is evident from an onsite inspection that the alley does not
physically exist or has been materially blocked in a way that renders it unusable as a public
right of way;
B. Public Safety: The existence of the alley is substantially contributing to crime, unlawful
activity, unsafe conditions, public health problems, or blight in the surrounding area;
C. Urban Design: The continuation of the alley does not serve as a positive urban design element;
or
D. Community Purpose: The petitioners are proposing to restrict the general public from use of
the alley in favor of a community use, such as a neighborhood play area or garden. (Ord. 24-02
§ 1, 2002)
14.52.030: PROCESSING PETITIONS:
There will be three (3) phases for processing petitions to dispose of city owned alleys under this
section. Those phases include an administrative determination of completeness; a public hearing,
including a recommendation from the Planning Commission; and a public hearing before the City
Council.
A. Administrative Determination Of Completeness: The city administration will determine whether
or not the petition is complete according to the following requirements:
1. The petition must bear the signatures of no less than seventy five percent (75%) of the
neighbors owning property which abuts the subject alley property;
2. The petition must identify which policy considerations discussed above support the petition;
3. The petition must affirm that written notice has been given to all owners of property located in
the block or blocks within which the subject alley property is located;
Page | 13
4. A signed statement that the applicant has met with and explained the proposal to the
appropriate community organization entitled to receive notice pursuant to title 2, chapter 2.60
of this code; and
5. The appropriate city processing fee shown on the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule has
been paid.
B. Public Hearing and Recommendation From The Planning Commission: Upon receipt of a
complete petition, a public hearing shall be scheduled before the planning commission to
consider the proposed disposition of the city owned alley property. Following the conclusion of
the public hearing, the planning commission shall make a report and recommendation to the
city council on the proposed disposition of the subject alley property. A positive
recommendation should include an analysis of the following factors:
1. The city police department, fire department, transportation division, and all other relevant city
departments and divisions have no reasonable objection to the proposed disposition of the
property;
2. The petition meets at least one of the policy considerations stated above;
3. Granting the petition will not deny sole access or required off street parking to any property
adjacent to the alley;
4. Granting the petition will not result in any property being landlocked;
5. Granting the petition will not result in a use of the alley property which is otherwise contrary
to the policies of the city, including applicable master plans and other adopted statements of
policy which address, but which are not limited to, mid-block walkways, pedestrian paths,
trails, and alternative transportation uses;
6. No opposing abutting property owner intends to build a garage requiring access from the
property, or has made application for a building permit, or if such a permit has been issued,
construction has been completed within twelve (12) months of issuance of the building permit;
7. The petition furthers the city preference for disposing of an entire alley, rather than a small
segment of it; and
8. The alley property is not necessary for actual or potential rear access to residences or for
accessory uses.
C. Public Hearing Before The City Council: Upon receipt of the report and recommendation from
the planning commission, the city council will consider the proposed petition for disposition of
the subject alley property. After a public hearing to consider the matter, the city council will
make a decision on the proposed petition based upon the factors identified above. (Ord. 58-13,
2013: Ord. 24-11, 2011)
14.52.040: METHOD OF DISPOSITION:
If the city council grants the petition, the city owned alley property will be disposed of as follows:
A. Low Density Residential Areas: If the alley property abuts properties which are zoned for low
density residential use, the alley will merely be vacated. For the purposes of this section, "low
density residential use" shall mean properties which are zoned for single-family, duplex or twin
home residential uses.
Page | 14
B. High Density Residential Properties And Other Nonresidential Properties: If the alley abuts
properties which are zoned for high density residential use or other nonresidential uses, the
alley will be closed and abandoned, subject to payment to the city of the fair market value of
that alley property, based upon the value added to the abutting properties.
C. Mixed Zoning: If an alley abuts both low density residential properties and either high density
residential properties or nonresidential properties, those portions which abut the low density
residential properties shall be vacated, and the remainder shall be closed, abandoned and sold
for fair market value. (Ord. 24-02 § 1, 2002)
14.52.050: PETITION FOR REVIEW:
Any party aggrieved by the decision of the city council as to the disposition of city owned alley
property may file a petition for review of that decision within thirty (30) days after the city council's
decision becomes final, in the 3rd district court.

DOCUMENT TYPE:Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council follow the recommendations of the Planning
Commission to approve an Ordinance to amend the zoning map for the subject properties,
changing them from CC (Corridor Commercial) and R-1/5000 (Single-Family Residential) to FB-
UN2 (Form Based Urban Neighborhood), to amend the Future Land Use Map in the Central
Community Master Plan from "Community Commercial" to "High Mixed Use", and, to vacate the
platted alley.
The Planning Commission recommendation of approval included the following additional
recommendations:
1. The housing being removed from the site must be replaced.
2. The property for the vacated alley be integrated into the future development.
3. The rezoned parcels must be consolidated through the appropriate process.
BUDGET IMPACT:None
9/21/2022

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Urban Alfandre is requesting that the City amend the zoning
map and master plan for multiple contiguous property parcels located at approximately 1518, 1530,
1540, 1546 S Main Street and 1515 S Richards Street respectively. Some of the parcels have
duplicate addresses. The applicant is requesting to change the zoning of the properties from CC
(Corridor Commercial) and R-1/5000 (Single-Family Residential) to FB-UN2 (Form Based Urban
Neighborhood District). The original request also included a text amendment to allow additional
building height on the properties. That request was subsequently withdrawn by the applicant as
The Central Community Master Plan
Future Land Use Map designates the properties as "Community Commercial". The petitioner is
requesting to amend the future land use map for the parcels to "High Mixed Use". The applicant
has also requested to vacate an alley that runs through the properties. The applicant intends to
combine all parcels as well as the alley into one cohesive parcel under the new zoning in order to
develop a mixed use development on the approximately 2-acre consolidated site. No specific site
development proposal has been submitted at this time.
The subject properties and alley location are highlighted on the map exhibit below.

3. Original Petition
TO: David Gellner
CC: Wayne Mills
FROM: Urban Alfandre (Stephen Alfandre, Owner)
DATE: 5.16.2022
RE: Amendment to Rezone application on 1550 S Main Street Assemblage
David,
After extensive meetings with the community council, Planning Staff, and other neighborhood
stakeholders, we are requesting an amendment to our previous rezone application wherein we
requested additional height of 15 feet within the FB-UN2 zone to a maximum of 65 feet. We wish to
revise our application and not request the additional 15 feet within the FB-UN2 zone which would
result in a maximum height of 50 feet. It became clear to us that the neighborhood did not agree with
65 feet in height at this location and we want to align ourselves with their desire to see a project of
smaller scale.
Although we can technically achieve a 50 ft height limit via design review and planned development in
the current CC zone, we would rather work in the FB-UN2 zone for various reasons. Here is why we
believe the FBUN-2 zone at this location far exceeds using the CC zone for this project:
1. Higher Design Standards
The FB-UN2 zone has higher urban design standards than the CC zone, which we believe will
make for a better project. Creating a consistent street wall, enhancing walkability, requiring
more glass and balconies and patios, and ensuring architectural design will contribute to the
character of the neighborhood are all requirements of the FB-UN2 zone. We are proponents of
having more FB-UN2 zones because of how they demand for better urban design in our city.
2. Step-backs to create neighborhood compatibility
The FB-UN2 zone requires step-backs and setbacks from adjacent single-family properties which
creates appropriate transitions between our parcels and adjacent single family homes.
3. Active ground floor uses
The FB-UN2 zone requires a permitted use other than parking shall occupy at least 75% of the
width of any street-facing building façade which makes for much better ground floor pedestrian
interaction than the CC zone. Our intent is to create a dynamic ground floor experience for
pedestrians.
We also want to address two additional complaints the neighborhood has had about the FB-UN2
zone: parking and setbacks.
Parking the FB-UN2 zone does not require parking. We have offered (on numerous occasions)
to voluntarily add ample parking within the project via a development agreement with the City
Council to lessen the impact of on-street parking in the neighborhood. In fact, we have
voluntarily included parking on all of our projects in the FB-
been required to do so.
Setbacks a common complaint from the neighbors is the lack of setbacks required in the FB-
UN2 zone. We continue to advocate for zero setbacks within urban-pedestrian areas for the
following reasons:
1. There already exists a 30-ft setback between the property line and the street
at 1515 S Main street. Adding more setback to this existing condition would
amplify the unfriendly pedestrian experience that currently exists by
exacerbating the wide chasm between street-walls along Main Street, as seen
below. Wide streets with large setbacks is not good urban design for cities and
prohibits pedestrian scale, comfort and vibrancy.
2. The eastern side of Main Street has zero setbacks and
is recommending for the western side to also have zero
setbacks to create a unified urban street wall (of which we agree entirely).
create a pleasant contrast to surrounding suburban residenti
strong street wall helps facilitate pedestrian circulation as well as provide a
3. Setbacks are not intended to be active open space for community use and
actually do more to hurt vibrant pedestrian experiences in our opinion. In the
CC zone only 1/3 of the setback area is required to be landscaped with
vegetation which means the majority can be gravel or rocks
invite open-space users.
4. Our intention is to add some retail space on the ground floor and the FB-UN2
zone is much more conducive to creating an enhanced retail experience than
the CC zone. For instance, in the CC zone, surface parking lots are allowed,
anymore surface parking lots. The FBUN-2 zone requires strong street walls,
durable building materials and active ground floor uses which create a more
enhanced retail and pedestrian experience than what the CC zone requires.
The section of Main Street from 1300 S to 1700 S is dead. There is little-to-no
pedestrian activity currently and as major landowners in the neighborhood it
is our strong desire to revitalize this area through good urban design and retail
activation to create a vibrant pedestrian experience, that is currently not
found in this area. The CC zone is the wrong zone to encourage this type of
revitalization for the reasons mentioned above.
Thank you for your considering of our request.
Sincerely,
Stephen Alfandre

RE: 1) Zoning Text Amendment; 2) zoning map amendment; and 3) master plan
amendment for 1550 South Main Street Assemblage
Summary
Urban Alfandre (UA) is the contract purchaser of an approximately 2 acre site with direct
frontage on Main Street and Andrew Avenue (exact parcel numbers shown below).
UA is requesting to re-zone these parcels from CC to FBUN-2 and to be listed in Table
voluntary development agreement to add off-street parking within the building and massing
that is sensitive to the adjacent parcels and neighborhood.
We believe FBUN-2 parcels that are listed in Table 21A.27.050.C is the appropriate zone for
the following reasons:
o The height of the proposed zone (65 ft) allows for maximum flexibility to achieve
the following design goals: 1) add sufficient off-street parking in the building; 2)
design ground floor retail with appropriate height;
o It is where we should be adding density located within a 10 minute walk to the
1300 S TRAX station which allows residents to enjoy transportation optionality and
not be dependent on a car
o It conforms with the proposed Ballpark master plan of activation, retail, and density
near transit and on major corridors
The current CC zone limits the height of our intended use to 45 ft which is insufficient for
off-street parking and retail on the ground floor.
The current use of the Main Street Motel is one that brings significant and recurring crime to
the neighborhood. The neighborhood stakeholders have all expressed strong desire to see
this use go away. Our intended use of a mixed-use residential and retail building will activate
the street and help make the entire neighborhood safer.
www.urbanalfandre.com
Report
We are pleased to submit this application to amend the current zoning from CC to FBUN-2 with
additional height at the properties highlighted below in blue, located at approximately 1550 S Main
Street, which is currently the Main Street Motel.
The parcel numbers are: 15132780200000, 15132780170000, 15132780120000, 15132780110000,
15132780120000, 15132780130000, 15132780140000 and the city-owned alley bifurcating these
parcels.
The purpose of this amendment is to redevelop this blighted, crime-ridden property into a mixed-
use project that would add housing not typically found in this neighborhood and neighborhood-
scaled commercial to this portion of Main Street, a major commercial thoroughfare, just blocks from
downtown and a ½ mile to the Ballpark TRAX.
A description of the proposed use of the property being rezoned is as follows:
Our vision for this property is to rezone it from Commercial Corridor (CC) to FBUN-2 Corner Lot
for the following reasons:
1) Proximity to TRAX and location on a prominent corner of Main St a major corridor
connecting into downtown. This property is within a ½ mile from the Ballpark TRAX
stop, categorizing this location as a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). The
following are benefits of successful Transit-Oriented Developments:
www.urbanalfandre.com
Create compact development within an easy walk of public transit and with
sufficient density to support transit ridership
Establish a hierarchy of transportation which places the pedestrian first, bicycle
second and auto third.
Create active places and livable communities that service daily needs and where
people feel a sense of belonging and ownership.
Incorporate retail into a development if it is a viable use at the location. Ideally
drawing customers both from both the TOD and a major street.
TOD strengthens urban development but also helps manage future regional
growth by encouraging growth to occur where the existing infrastructure is best
suited to address it. The benefits of this type of development include:
o More residents living close to commercial areas to support a strong, local
oriented economy.
o This reduces the overall cost of development and reduces negative
environmental impacts on air and water quality while creating community
oriented public places.
By optimizing land use and accessibility, Transit-Oriented Development
decreases traffic congestion, improves air quality and public health, lowers the
cost of living, and makes opportunities more accessible. (http://tod.org/)
Encourage the stabilization and revitalization of existing neighborhoods, as new
uses are designed to support existing neighborhood characteristics
o The stabilization of these parcels is an important part of making this
neighborhood safer to walk and take transit.
2) To add density and a mix of uses, in an appropriate scale, that contemplates future
growth of adjacent properties within the current zoning. Five-story, well designed mixed-
use buildings which are massed correctly, are appropriate for these parcels which are
situated on a prominent corner of Main Street which is a major commercial corridor
connecting the densest part of downtown, which is just a couple blocks away, to the
heart of the Ballpark neighborhood.
The neighborhood recently went through a zoning change to preserve single family
homes on the interior streets to accommodate more density on the main corridors of
Main Street and 1700 South. This proposal is compatible with this neighborhood
objective.

buildings are found, just a couple of blocks north, to past 2100 South and the start of
South Salt Lake. FBUN-2 will serve as a transition zone of gentle density between
Downtown, the Ballpark Area which will become much more dense, according to the
Ballpark Area Plan (Draft), and downtown South Salt Lake.
The purpose of a Transition Area as described by the Salt Lake City TOD Documents is:
to provide a moderate level of land development intensity that incorporates the
principles of sustainable transit oriented development. The transition area is
intended to provide an important support base to the core area and transit
ridership as well as buffer surrounding neighborhoods from the intensity of the
core area. These areas reinforce the viability of the core area and provide
opportunities for a range of housing types at different densities. Transition areas
are generally located within a one-half (½) mile from the station platform, but
may vary based on the character of the area. Transition areas typically serve the
surrounding neighborhood; include a broad range of building forms that house a
mix of compatible land uses. The minimum desired density is ten (10) dwelling
units per acre. Commercial uses may include office, retail, restaurant and other
commercial land uses that are necessary to create mixed use neighborhoods.
Commercial uses can be clustered around intersections and along block faces to
create neighborhood nodes.
The zoning along this portion of Main Street is currently Commercial Corridor which
h the growth
trajectory of our city and the lack of housing options it is only a matter of time before
www.urbanalfandre.com
3) Extra height creates more livability and housing opportunities: The current CC zoning
gh a Planned Development process. A rezone to FBUN-2 Corner
Lot is only one story taller than what is currently allowed, however, the extra story and
height allows for much more flexibility to add more housing types not typically found in
this neighborhood, adequate onsite parking, and ground floor commercial with the
appropriate ceiling heights to attract desired local retail tenants, while also creating a
vibrant pedestrian experience.
(Slate, a project our team developed in the Central 9th neighborhood in the same FBUN-2 zone, has off-street parking and appropriate ceiling heights
for ground floor active commercial space
1. to add a material amount of housing
units not typically found in the neighborhood, with proper ground floor ceiling heights for
commercial space and provide enough off-street parking.
2. Setbacks are much larger than the east side of Main St causing an irregular urban wall and
public realm.
1) Creating more livable communities and neighborhoods through the appropriate transition of
multi-family housing and mixed land uses in designated areas
a) This zoning amendment would achieve this by redeveloping this detrimental use into a
multi-family, mixed-use project on Main Street, which is a major thoroughfare for
automobiles, but also denser multifamily housing and commercial space, which would
also make this neighborhood more livable for a wider range of people.
www.urbanalfandre.com
2) To have pedestrians use transit and walk comfortably to services, shopping and recreational
opportunities.
a) It is important to leverage parcels on major thoroughfares to create smart density to
support TRAX and BRT transportation systems. This site is a 10 minute walk to the
1300 South TRAX stop and is considered a transit-oriented site. This zoning amendment
is appropriate to this location and will achieve city-wide master plan, housing and TOD
goals by redeveloping it in a mixed-use, contextually sensitive way that promotes
walkability and vibrancy along a major commercial thoroughfare just blocks from
downtown.
3) To increase pedestrian accessibility by creating housing that supports the employment center
of the downtown area.
a) Leveraging this location, which is a 10 minute walk to TRAX, through creating more
housing will increase pedestrian accessibility and transit accessibility that will support the
employment center of downtown.
4) An enhanced built environment that encourages employees to work and live in the Central
Community
a) Adding housing types not typically found in this neighborhood, in a mixed-use setting,
that creates a more vibrant and walkable streetscape, while providing more services
within walking distance, creates a vibrant built environment which will attract more
people to live and work in this neighborhood.
This zoning amendment will achieve Salt Lake City Housing Affordability Priorities by:
1) Removing barriers which limit housing density, prohibit needed housing types or create
excessive developer burden.
a) This zoning amendment would achieve this by redeveloping this detrimental use into a
multi-family, mixed-use project on Main Street and provide units that are not typically
found in the neighborhood.
www.urbanalfandre.com
The above photos of recently delivered projects, Moda on Main and The Edith, which are larger
townhome units, comprise most of the new housing stock in this neighborhood. The rezone
would allow for something different more efficient residential units above ground floor retail,
which will deliver a more varied housing stock to the neighborhood.
2) Support the development of new or underutilized housing types that meet the unique needs
a) The proposed rezone would provide more housing types not typically found in this
neighborhood and in so doing, increase housing choices for a wider range of people in
this neighborhood.
3) Promote transit-oriented development, walkable communities and models that decrease the
need for cars or parking stalls.
a) Leveraging this TOD site into a mixed-use project that increases the walkability of Main
Street would accomplish this Priority.
Ballpark Area Plan (Draft)
While we understand that the Ballpark Area Plan has not been officially adopted yet, we
his project is in
presence of small local businesses, a generally pleasant pedestrian and bike environment, and
medium-density residential buildings. New development should focus on maintaining the
scale, walkability and bikability of the neighborhood.
o This project will implement the intent of the Main Street Character Area by:
Creating ground floor commercial space for local businesses
Creating a vibrant pedestrian experience through activation and design
including:
Street trees
ADA accessible
Human scaled building frontages
www.urbanalfandre.com
Pedestrian level street lighting
Store fronts, office windows, and windows on homes facing the
street
Enhancing the walkability and bikability of Main Street through design,
gentle density and a mix of uses.
The Ballpark Area Plan (Draft) also calls out for reduced setbacks on the west side of Main
Street to be equal with the setbacks on the east side of Main Street to create a more uniform
urban wall and public realm.
Our team is interested in executing a Development Agreement with the City to ensure the public
benefits of off-street parking, human scaled street frontages and ground floor commercial space are
incorporated in the new project.
This request, if approved, will amend the zoning map, future land use map in the master plan and
amend the text of the zoning ordinance.

RE: Zoning Amendment for 1550 South Main Street Assemblage
Summary
Urban Alfandre (UA) is the contract purchaser of an approximately 2 acre site with direct
frontage on Main Street and Andrew Avenue (exact parcel numbers shown below).
UA is requesting to re-zone the property from CC to FBUN-2 Corner Lot with a
voluntary development agreement to add off-street parking within the building and
massing that is sensitive to the adjacent parcels.
We believe FBUN-2 Corner Lot is the appropriate zone for the following reasons:
o The height of the proposed zone (65 ft) allows for maximum flexibility to achieve
the following design goals: 1) add sufficient off-street parking in the building; 2)
design ground floor retail with appropriate height;
o It is where we should be adding density located within a 10 minute walk to the
1300 S TRAX station which allows residents to enjoy transportation optionality
and not be dependent on a car
o It conforms with the proposed Ballpark master plan of activation, retail, and
density near transit
The current CC zone limits the height of our intended use to 45 ft which is insufficient
for off-street parking and retail on the ground floor.
The current use of the Main Street Motel is one that brings significant and recurring
crime to the neighborhood. The neighborhood stakeholders have all expressed strong
desire to see this use go away. Our intended use of a mixed-use residential and retail
building will activate the street and help make the entire neighborhood safer.
www.urbanalfandre.com
Report
We are pleased to submit this application to amend the current zoning from CC to FBUN-2
Corner Lot at the properties highlighted below in blue, located at approximately 1550 S Main
Street, which is currently the Main Street Motel.
The parcel numbers are: 15132780200000, 15132780170000, 15132780120000,
15132780110000, 15132780120000, 15132780130000, 15132780140000 and the city-owned
alley bifurcating these parcels.
The purpose of this amendment is to redevelop this blighted, crime-ridden property into a
mixed-use project that would add housing not typically found in this neighborhood and
neighborhood-scaled commercial to this portion of Main Street, a major commercial
thoroughfare, just blocks from downtown and a ½ mile to the Ballpark TRAX.

WHAT IS AN ALLEY VACATION OR CLOSURE?
As part of the subdivision process, early developers were required to create alleys which were then deeded to the
City. They were used for coal delivery, garbage pickup and other services. They also allowed access to garages. Today,
the City is officially the owner of these alleys. In situations where it can be demonstrated that there is an over-riding
public purpose for vacating the alley, the City may relinquish its property interest in the alley.
When an alley is next to or abuts a single family or duplex residential property, the City vacates the alley, divides it in
half, and the property is conveyed to the abutting property owners. If an alley is next to or abuts a non-residential, or
multifamily residential (3 or more dwelling units) property, the City may close the alley and then sell the land at fair
market value to the abutting property owners.
WHAT THE CITY CONSIDERS BEFORE VACATING OR CLOSING AN ALLEY Section 14.52.020
1. The City police department, fire department, transportation division, and all other relevant City departments
have no reasonable objection to the proposed disposition of the property;
2. Granting the petition will not deny sole access or required off-street parking to any property adjacent to the alley;
3. Granting the petition will not result in any property being landlocked;
4. Granting the petition will not result in a use of the alley property which is otherwise contrary to the policies of
the City, including applicable master plans and other adopted statements of policy which address, but which
are not limited to, mid-block walkways, pedestrian paths, trails, and alternative transportation uses;
5. No opposing abutting property owner intends to build a garage requiring access from the property, or has
made application for a building permit, or if such a permit has been issued, construction has been completed
within 12 months of issuance of the building permit;
6. The petition furthers the City preference for disposing of an entire alley, rather than a small segment of it; and
7.The alley property is not necessary for actual or potential rear access to residences or for accessory uses.

Hello David Gellner and the Planning Division,
I attempted to forward some of the correspondence our neighborhood has recently exchanged with
Urban Alfandre regarding management of other nearby property in the Ballpark neighborhood.
Unfortunately it bounced back due to file size restrictions. I and other surrounding residents often sent
photos of evidence of our current situation. I am sorry that the photos won't make it into the report to
be considered by members of the Planning Commission, but hopefully the amount and tone of the
correspondence will still convey some of the important information.
It is also important to note that despite what surrounding residents have been told, as of the time that I
am writing this email, the buildings at 1450 S. Main Street are still standing and have yet to be
demolished. The surrounding neighborhood no longer believes that Urban Alfandre will be honest or
transparent with them regarding timelines or expectations regarding this or other properties in the
neighborhood. This is unfortunate.

Dear David Gellner, the Salt Lake City Planning Division, and Members of the Planning Commission,
As we approach next week's public hearing for the 1550 S Main Street Assemblage Zoning Map, Master
Plan, Zoning Text Amendments, and Alley Vacation, I am passing along some of the recent
correspondence between residents in the Ballpark neighborhood and Urban Alfandre concerning
another property assemblage of theirs one block to the north, at approximately 1450 S. Main Street. We
are still waiting for the buildings on this property to be demolished. While we wait, these unsecured
properties have attracted a considerable amount of drug dealing, sex work, bike chop shops, and
camping, causing the surrounding residents a great deal of stress. While there is currently fencing
around the property, it is not secure (as evidenced by the shopping carts that appear on the other side
of the fencing). Many emails to the property owners, Urban Alfandre, have gone unanswered for days,
or have never been answered at all.
It is deeply concerning to the residents of the Ballpark neighborhood that we have experienced
problems with these properties as they have been vacated and turned over to Urban Alfandre. Prior to
being owned by Urban Alfandre, these properties were occupied by a used car lot, a dog car care
business, and a closed electronics store, and were not extremely troubled properties. In contrast, the
1550 S. Main Street Assemblage properties that they wish to acquire and rezone include the Main
Street Motel, one of Salt Lake City's most troubled and crime-ridden properties. The Main Street Motel
is a notorious low budget motel that has often been the site of sex work, domestic abuse, drug sales and
use, and has been involved with several recent homicides in our neighborhood in the past few years.
If Urban Alfandre cannot responsibly manage the transitioning of an unproblematic used car lot and dog
day care without causing such a dramatic uptick of crime to the surrounding neighborhood, they should
not be allowed to manage the transition of one Salt Lake City's most troubled properties. The
consequences for the neighborhood will not be trivial. Given the history of the property and the Salt
Lake Police Department SWAT team that has had to visit this year while it has been occupied and
managed, it is not an exaggeration to say that human lives will be at risk during any gap between its
current style of management and complete demolition.
I welcome my other Ballpark neighbors to submit further comments about their experience in our
neighborhood to zoning@slcgov.com and David.Gellner@slcgov.com while Urban Alfandre has been
responsible for managing the unoccupied 1450 S. Main Street properties.

Subject:Security breach
Good morning James.
On my morning walk, I noticed that the fences have been breached both on main street and on
the Alley side of your property. I saw a homeless person leaving through the front fence in front
of the dog building, they have simply pulled the post out of the ground and opened the fence.
They have a shopping cart inside. Plus, you might check the security of the dog building it
almost appears that someone could be Camping inside with a blanket in the interior doorway. In
the back alley, part of the new fence has been Opened to expose a hole in the old fence.
Thanks, Jeff Sandstrom

Hi James,
It looks like some clean up has happened at your property and the homeless camp has finally
been removed. We also look forward to you adding the city approved "no trespassing" signs so
this doesn't happen again while the property gets redeveloped into much needed new housing.
I know you've said that there have been delays in the demolition but the faster it can look like
the lot at 1700 S and W Temple (pic attached) the better it will be for the community to not have
so many people attracted to the empty buildings like a month to a flame. I am sure there are
supply chain and labor shortage issues but an expedited demolition of the property will keep
people from using it. I walk my dog every day past 1700 S and W Temple lot and have never
seen a squatter there because it is very unappealing since there is a clear line of sight to the
roads.
Additionally, I noticed another hole has been cut into the fence (see attached pic).
Thanks,

With the exponential growth of drug activity and trash buildup since the tenants have left a few
weeks ago, the thought of another few weeks has me frightened. As Amy mentioned, we can no
longer walk along your property and feel safe. I have been calling the police multiple times a
day between the encampments, drug use and break ins.
Please help the neighborhood by at least cleaning up and securing the perimeter of the property
prior to Dominions work. The lot literally looks like a junk yard, and to be honest I am
embarrassed to live next to something like this. Please let us know if there is something we can

Hi James,
Your response deeply concerns me because on June 10th you wrote and told us that you were
planning to demo the buildings next week, which would have been June 13th - June 17th. Will
you write to us two weeks from now on July 11th, and let us know of another delay?
I'm sorry if I wasn't perfectly clear in my previous email. Given the current situation on our street,
a minimum of two weeks is going to be a very long time to wait. We do not feel safe walking
down our street. I do not feel safe exiting my front door, because it is in full view of this camp,
and its occupants have seen me speaking with police officers. The occupants of this camp
appear to be friendly with drug dealers. Who can we call to help you obtain your permits faster?
I mean this *very literally*. We are willing to make calls and make contacts for you. Please take
advantage of this opportunity. I need you to help us answer this question so we can feel safer,
sooner.

Hello,
Also a concerned neighbor here. I have noticed and have videos showing the uptick in people
camping and browsing the back yards in my ally. It is up 10x since the buildings have been
vacant. There is a mostly permanent living situation between the trailers. The door on the pet
boarding place was wide open last week and there where at least 3 people hanging out in there.
The fact that the trailer on the street is allowed to be there is 100 precent because the building
is vacant. It is unacceptable that the only thing that has been done to secure them is some
plywood and it didn't even happen until last week or so. I am a general contractor and have
been involved with multiple projects very similar to what this one seems to be, and the fact that
nothing is being done there because of dominion is ridiculous. The properties could have been
secured and patrolled, as well as all what I am almost positive is hazmat stuff left in the
dealership. That could all have been removed prior to the excavators coming in to
demo. Ultimately these properties are your responsibility now and should be kept accordingly.
Hi James,
I second all of Amy and John's frustrations and concerns!
It seems clear that leaving these buildings abandoned for this length of time seems to be
nothing less than poor planning on you and your firm's part. As an outsider looking in, it
is perplexing how much time you have had to prepare for this (over a year) and how horrible it is
going. And placing all the responsibility on Dominion seems to be passing the buck.
Gary's property still has multiple semi trucks that are still full of materials that he has been
slowly unpacking. Given the speed at which he is unloading those I don't get the sense that he
is under any pressure to move out, which makes me question the real timeline of this
demolition.
Are there parts of the property that you can begin to clear/clean up. For example, the section of
alleyway behind my house (middle of the alleyway) has huge bushes that are on George's
property. This provides a place for the homeless to hide out and there is a huge encampment
there (in the alleyway and on George's property). There is a permanent fire pit next to the road
where people are burning the plastic coating off copper wire they are selling.
Additionally the old auto body shop and dog daycare has a ton of large item trash (stoves,
refrigerators, ATV) that could be moved and cleaned up. Getting rid of that trash would make
your properties look less inviting for people who are passing by and interested in
scavenging. Right now it looks like a junkyard.....is it really that surprising homeless people are
breaking in to see what they can steal.
Two (or more) weeks of this is unexceptable and we all know that enforcement alone isn't going
to change this.
Please share more options for what you are going to do.
Best, Jason

Hi Everyone,
I'd just like to add to what Amy has stated in the previous email(s) and add a few pictures. It is
my hope that Dominion Power and RMP will expedite the process of cutting gas and power to
these properties so demolition of these buildings can begin immediately. Because the fence has
been compromised people are coming and going from the buildings constantly throughout the
day and night. It has overwhelmed our section of the neighborhood and they are now looking for
power out of our outlets on private property. Some have been so audacious to just "squat" on
our front porches. All of this activity has greatly increased because these empty buildings are
still here and accessible.
Is there not anything that we can do to help this process along? The dry cleaner on the corner of
1700S and W. Temple was abandoned and quickly demolished and there hasn't been any
squatting on the property. Why can't this be done for this property?

We realize the fencing would have to be fairly substantial and a big step up from decorative
garden fencing currently surrounding the trailers to effectively secure the property and prevent
camping.
The encampment that I photographed on Sunday morning was broken down and moved to the
east side of your building by Sunday afternoon. Additionally, a trailer parked on the north side of
the street on Merrimac Avenue and spent the night on the street, where people used drugs and
visited your property and our townhomes throughout the night (Dan Thomas a Ballpark
Community Council Board Member who is copied on this email, can verify the latter, having
messaged me at 11:41 pm about telling a transient person to stop using our external power and
to leave our property--they returned to their camper.
Thankfully, multiple neighbors and police communicated about the trailer today and have
informed its occupants that they need to leave the street. Profound thanks to Lieutenant Steve
Wooldridge and Sergeant Allen Christiansen and their officers for their policing of the Ballpark
neighborhood, and for the officers who visited throughout the day and evening yesterday.
James, please let us know what we can do to advocate for securing the property and expediting
your permits. We will continue to have issues with camping, drug use, dealing and other issues
that transient populations attract until this is resolved.

Their questions are being prompted by the fact your unsecured property is now a known vector

Hello Salt Lake City Civil Enforcement and Urban Alfandre,
I'm writing to let you know that the Ballpark neighborhood is having problems with the
unsecured buildings at 1450 S. Main Street (at the corner of Merrimac Avenue and Main Street)
being repeatedly broken into by transient folks coming through the neighborhood. Multiple
residents have reached out to me this week to let me know that these unsecured buildings are a
serious problem, including Arika Schockmel, whose 11-year old daughter was recently solicited
on her bicycle at the end of her block as if she was a sex worker.
Our neighbor and Ballpark Community Council board member Jeff Sandstrom has just reached
out to our Salt Lake Police Department Community Liaison Office Detective Fallows (thanks
very much for being proactive, Jeff!), but I'm hoping that this can possibly be solved faster by
Civil Enforcement and the current property owners and developers working together to secure
the property before it is safely demo'ed.
Could we be given a timeline to know when the buildings might be demo'ed? What can we do to
help alert you to future problems to circumvent this situation in the future?
Thank you for your help,

Hello Detective Fallows:
We have an increase in homeless campers in the alleys. The alley between Main Street and
Major street, behind Condie's Candy has been reported an an ongoing problem, especially in
the evening and nighttime hours. An expanding number of people have been hanging out
behind the business. Condies have called the police about this several times.
The alley between Andrew Avenue and Merrimac Avenue just west of Main Street also has
another camp in the middle of the alley. They are frequently blocking the right of way in the
alley.
I also reported the abandoned building at 1450 S Main on the City's app for having been broken
into. The entire back of the building is wide open, with two garage door open. The building
needs to be boarded and secured asap. The tenant has moved out and it is going to be
redeveloped soon. Someone has cut the fence from the alley into the rear of the property, as
well.
If you could put these issues on your team's radar, we would really appreciate the help.
Thanks,

RE: Budget Amendment Number Four FY2023
________________________________________________________________________________
NEW INFORMAITON
Item I-1 Remaining and A-5 Withdrawn: At the November 10 and 22 briefings, the Council reviewed revenue and
Fund Balance updates and all items except I-1 which is a proposal to use $10,000 for a pilot program providing
vouchers to RVs for disposing of black water designated sites instead of the Jordan River. The Administration
withdrew item A-5 because it is no longer needed. The item was a contingency in case the Parks, Trails, and Open
Space Bond did not pass. Voters approved that General Obligation Bond by over 71% in favor.
Six New FTEs: The Council discussed whether the six new FTEs proposed should wait to be considered in context of
the annual budget. The new FTEs are:
- Item A-4 a senior warehouse operator in Public Lands,
- Item A-8 two new contract development specialists in Finance, and
- Item A-12 three positions dedicated to implementing the voter-approved Parks, Trails, and Open Space GO
bond. The positions are two Public Lands planners and one senior project manager in Engineering.
Straw Polls: The Council also passed three straw polls in support of urgent items:
- Item A-13 because of the lengthy lead time for ordering electronic equipment,
- Item E-3 because the $5 million of new emergency rental assistance from the U.S. Treasury must be spent
by the end of calendar year 2022,
- Item I-2 because the acceptance deadline of the Rocky Mountain Power electric vehicle charging
infrastructure grant is before the Council is scheduled to vote on this Budget Amendment, and
- Item I-4 to rescope $1.24 million from Funding Our Future for federal grant to study and design solutions
to the west-east transportation divide in the City.
Responses to Council Follow Up Questions:
A-2: Rescope Unspent Operation Rio Grande Funds for Homelessness Services ($490,847 from General Fund
Balance)
The Council asked several questions about the proposed rescope of the unused funds. The Council’s questions and
responses from the Administration are listed below.
- Are there metrics available to share with the Council regarding the $274,000 proposed for the VOA's Salt
Lake City specific outreach team?
Project Timeline:
Set Date: November 10, 2022
1st Briefing: November 10, 2022
2nd Briefing: November 22, 2022
3rd Briefing: December 6, 2022
Public Hearing: December 6, 2022
Potential Action: December 13, 2022

o Response: In FY2022, 145 individuals were connected to short term services, such as detox and
shelters, 109 individuals received case management, and 22 individuals were permanently housed.
For FY2023, the City will gather similar data from the VOA City-Specific Outreach Team and will
share these metrics with the Council.
- How do these outcomes compare to the City's other homeless response groups such as the Rapid
Intervention Team, Community Health Access Team (CHAT), Street Ambassadors, etc.?
o Response: Each of these teams are newly implemented and perform different functions. Each team
will measure outputs and outcomes differently. From its launch in June 2022, the Rapid
Intervention Team has performed 612 site rehabilitations. Since their full expansion into Ballpark
and Central City in July of 2022, the Street Ambassador team has assisted approximately 130
individuals with referrals to shelter, medical care, and/or food and water.
- Regarding the $30,000 proposed for security at the King and Miller Homeless Resource Centers (HRCs):
o What kinds of security would be provided and where?
▪Response: This proposed funding will help fill the funding gap for this critical service,
which costs $522K annually per facility. Shelter The Homeless contracts with Premier
Security for at least two security personnel to be on-site 24/7, 365 days a year at each of the
facilities, which is a key component of the HRC security plan and a requirement of the
conditional use permit. Security is tasked with supporting operations staff in security
matters, screening, and searches at the entrance of the facility, including bag and jacket
searches and magnetometer screening, and interior walk-arounds throughout the facility
on an hourly basis and exterior circuits as time allows.
o What are the boundaries of the security services (e.g., only on the HRC private property, extends to
the sidewalks)?
▪Response: Security conducts walk arounds outside of the facilities and the blocks adjacent
to the facility, which are done as frequently and as much as incidents within the facility will
allow for them to leave their main post at the entrance. When outside, security officers
address loitering, generally monitor conditions immediately around the facilities, and
connect with police or other resources as needed.
o Are there options to enhance private security into areas surrounding the HRCs? If yes, are there
cost estimates available?
▪Response: While the intent of this ask is to help with the security cost funding gap for on-
site services, other security deployment to the areas surrounding the HRCs would require
additional security personnel to be hired. This would also require more coordination of
efforts with the HEART team and the new HRC police squad sergeants. The hourly rate of a
security officer is $25-$27. Security personnel are helpful in monitoring the conditions in
the neighborhoods surrounding the HRCs, but do not have authority to act in the same
manner as police, so their efforts are focused on talking with individuals around the HRCs,
requesting that they move along, and observing the activities in the neighborhood, and
engage with police on all matters needing follow up action.
A-3: Dee Glen Tennis Court Reconstruction ($500,000 from General Fund Balance)
Council Members requested that the Administration evaluate all the tennis court reconstruction needs citywide and
provide a written update with the results. Some Council Members expressed geographic equity concerns with recent
funding for tennis. At the time of publishing this staff report a response was forthcoming.

Impact Fees Update
The Administration’s transmittal does not provide an updated summary of impact fee tracking. The information
from Budget Amendment No. 3 is copied below and is current as of July 1, 2022. As a result, the City is on-track
with impact fee budgeting to have no refunds during all of FY2023 and FY2024. The Administration reports work is
nearing completion to update the fire and parks sections of the impact fee plan. The transportation section was
updated in October 2020. Eligible projects for police impact fees are being identified. Note that the below balances
were updated based on the Council’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project funding decisions.

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: Elections Awareness ($38,509 from General Fund Balance)
The cost of the general obligation bond election was $24,735. The cost of the insert for the voter information
pamphlet was $13,774. This item will backfill costs incurred by the Recorder’s Office which were unknown at the
time of adopting the annual budget.
A-2: Rescope Unspent Operation Rio Grande Funds for Homelessness Services ($490,847 from
General Fund Balance)
This amendment is to repurpose unused Salt Lake County funds for Operation Rio Grande through a contract
amendment with the County for new homelessness services. See attached County contract and contract
amendments.
$274,000: VOA, City Specific Outreach Team. Description: This funding will continue operations of the City’s
outreach team with Volunteers of America. This team focuses on facilitating unsheltered residents access to both
short term supportive services and long-term permanent housing. Absent this funding the City-specific street
outreach team of four FTEs would stop operating. The team includes two case managers working on housing
homeless individuals and two coordinators working on short-term interventions like temporary shelter and detox /
treatment placements. There are no other city funding sources for this team. A countywide street outreach team
would remain available for work in Salt Lake City but at a reduced level of service. Note the four-person City-
specific street outreach team is in addition to the two street outreach workers and community liaisons funded by the
State Homeless Shelter Cities Mitigation grant.
$177,847: Provider TBD, FY 2023 Winter Overflow Operations. Description: The Winter Overflow plan for this
year, while mandated by the State legislature, was not funded by the State legislature. While existing state funding
has now been identified to support most overflow costs, this funding has been identified as a source that can fill
gaps in needed services for overflow operations this winter. Note that these funds could also be used for Police
Department overtime staffing at and in neighborhoods around the winter overflow shelters including the forced flex
capacity increases at the Miller and King Homeless Resource Centers (HRCs).
$30,000: Shelter the Homeless, HRC Security. Description: Funds would be used to pay for one of the swing shift
security staff at either the Geraldine E. King or the Gail Miller HRC. The City does not typically pay for private
security at HRCs or other privately owned property. Shelter the Homeless has indicated the HRC operating budgets
have a funding gap for security.
Page | 6
$9,000: VOA, Detox Bed Costs. Description: Detox service costs increased this year and funding is needed to ensure
immediate access for the City’s first responders to refer patients into two detox beds at VOA’s adult detox center.
Note that the additional funding is to continue providing access to the two treatment beds at higher cost and is not
securing additional bed availability. The City does not typically provide funding for detox beds.
The Administration does not anticipate additional unspent funding from Operation Rio Grande becoming available
for repurposing.
Policy Question:
➢Balancing City Police Overtime and Shelter Operations Funding Needs Outside Typical City Scope – The
Council may wish to discuss with the Administration whether some of the proposed funding should go to Police
Department overtime or shelter operations/detox beds proposed. Note that four items in this budget
amendment are requesting $4,812,953 of new one-time funding for Police Department overtime.
A-3: Dee Glen Tennis Court Reconstruction ($500,000 from General Fund Balance)
In 2020 after the March 18th earthquake, the North side of Court 7 at the Dee Glen Smith Tennis Center began to
significantly buckle and crack and has become unsafe. Cables holding the post-tension courts have shifted and
could continue to shift more into the court with future weather or earthquake events. The Engineering Division has
been working with a structural engineer to determine the best course of action. Failure of the post tensioning and
drainage are suspected to be causing the cracking and court slab failure. Repair to the post tensioning is possible,
however expensive, and likely temporary, and the contractor cannot guarantee the quality and longevity of the
repair. This request for $500,000 will be to replace the post-tension courts with an anticipated cost of $360,000.
Engineering also suggests another $140,000 to address drainage and other issues that may have caused the failure.
The Administration states no further capital improvement needs have been identified at the Dee Glen Tennis
Facility. The City evaluated whether property insurance could cover some or all the cost since the March 2020
earthquake is believed to have contributed to some of the damage. However, unlike earthquake damage to City
buildings which was immediately apparent, the damage to the tennis courts was slower and cumulative from
drainage issue over a couple years which complicates showing direct causality by the March 2020 earthquake.
Policy Question:
➢Evaluate Tennis Court Reconstruction Needs Citywide – The Council may wish to ask the Administration to
share evaluations of tennis court reconstruction needs citywide to help contextualize this funding request
compared to other similar needs. Recent CIP proposals identified other tennis court locations to be
reconstructed such as Fairpark Tennis, Fire Station Tennis, Westpointe Tennis and Riverside Tennis.
A-4: New Public Lands Senior Warehouse Operator FTE ($18,750 from Golf Fund and Rescope
$18,750 from existing Public Lands Budget)
With the creation of the new Public Lands Department, we have identified a need to centralize purchasing,
contracting, and warehouse support functions to include the Golf Division to maintain better controls and
efficiency. The Golf Division has had several purchasing violations in the last year and the centralization of these
functions will standardize processes and controls to avoid future purchasing violations. The Public Lands
Department is requesting to reallocate existing seasonal budget from the General Fund and the Golf fund to share
the cost 50/50 for (1) new FTE Senior Warehouse Operator position. This new position would potentially start
January 1st, 2023, utilizing existing savings for 6-months in FY23. Additional funding would be requested to fund
50% of the position from the general fund for the full year in FY24. The Public Lands warehouse staff currently
provides purchasing, ordering, contracting, payment processing, and warehouse inventory management for the
entire Department. Over the last 24 months the warehouse staff workload has increased as the department has
taken on Special Events, Community Events, Park Ranger Program and added new properties. The new Senior
Warehouse Operator position would provide warehouse support to free up time for the current warehouse staff to
dedicate more time toward purchasing, ordering, and contracting functions for the Golf Division, the other new
programs and properties, and continue to assist other departments as needed.
This proposal would use the same cost-share approach the Golf Fund and Public Lands currently have for a shared
financial analyst FTE. An alternative approach would be the General Fund fully covering the new senior warehouse
Page | 7
operator FTE and charging administrative fees to the Golf Fund. The Public Lands Department stated the
administrative fees approach might be more complicated to track and manage.
Policy Question:
➢Consider in the Annual Budget Context – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration whether the
new requested FTE should be considered as part of the next annual budget in context of the City’s overall
competing needs. The Administration indicates that without the new FTE several negative impacts could be
expected such as employees receiving trainings at a slower pace and delays to ordering and receiving supplies.
Conversely, waiting for the annual budget maximizes the Council’s flexibility to consider all requests and
funding options comprehensively.
A-5: Additional Funding for Phase One of Glendale Regional Park ($4.35 Million from Parks Impact
Fees)
The Administration is requesting $4.35 million from park impact fees to proceed with Phase 1 of creating the
Glendale Regional Park as a contingency if bond funding is not available. This request was submitted before the
November 8, 2022, election results were known for the proposed Parks, Trails, and Open Space General Obligation
(GO) Bond. It includes $27 million for creation of a Glendale Regional Park at the 17-acre site of the former Raging
Waters Park.
At the time of publishing this staff report, initial election results from the Salt Lake County Clerk show 68.63% for
the issuance of the bond and 31.37% against. If these results in favor of the bond issuance hold for final canvassing
and certification of the results on November 22, then this budget amendment item may not be needed.
The Council previously approved funding for creation of the Glendale Regional Park as follows:
- $855,000 in Budget Amendment #5 of FY2021 for demolition of the waterpark and related infrastructure
as well as site preparations for redevelopment into a regional park.
- $225,000 in Budget Amendment #6 of FY2021 for creation of the Glendale Regional Park Plan. The
Council received a briefing on the draft plan and the final version is expected to return to the Council for a
potential adoption vote in the coming months. The Plan would guide future funding including from the
proposed GO Bond.
- $3.2 Million in FY2022 CIP for Phase 1 implementation to create the regional park. However, most of these
funds were used for demolition and site preparation work because of unexpected circumstances. For
example, cranes were needed to disassemble the roller coaster slide because of the complicated structural
elements and more costly demolition options were used instead of blasting some infrastructure. The
Administration states that slightly over $1 million of these funds remain for development of the regional
park Phase 1.
The Administration provided the following summary of Phase 1 funding needs: “Items that we have budgeted for
include: demolition, geotechnical studies, site restoration, construction permits, new water connections and meters,
new sanitary sewer and stormwater connections, stormwater fees, new gas and power connections, site surveys, soil
testing, potential site remediation and cleaning, IMS requirements, demolition, slide retention and repurpose, city
administrative/ engineering project management fees, materials testing, planning consultant fees, design
consultant fees, contract administration testing and inspection fees and the required construction project
contingency have all been estimated as part of the total project delivery cost of constructing park improvements.
Many of these upfront items will not be required for future phases of park construction.”
Phase 1 of the regional park is expected to include a multi-use sports court, pavilion, community plaza, pathways,
parking, water-wise and ornamental plantings, and a playground with accessible designs for all ages.
It’s important to note that federal Land and Water Conservation Fund regulations require the City to restore some
public active recreation uses at the property by April 27, 2024. This requirement exists because the land was
purchased with LWCF dollars which come with a perpetual public active recreation use. The Administration stated
the if the GO Bond passes or this item is approved, then the City will be on track to meet the federal deadline.
Page | 8
Policy Question:
➢The Council may wish to confirm with the Administration if these funds are still needed if the GO Bond
passes (the official canvass is November 22). Previous discussions about this park indicated that there are
far more needs than funding provided by existing appropriations and the GO Bond.
A-6: Transfer CIP and Impact Fee Functions and Two FTEs from CAN to Finance ($223,299)
This amendment will transfer CIP and Impact Fees functions from CAN to Finance, consisting of two FTE's and
operating budget. FTE's consist of the CIP Impact Fee Manager, grade 30, and a Capital Improvement Program
Specialist, grade 25. FTE annual budget of $210,394, annual operating budget of $12,905.
A-7: Urban Forestry Division Director Reclassification (FY2023 Annual Budget Included Costs)
The Public Lands Department is requesting the Council approve a reclassification of the Urban Forestry Division
Director from a merit position to an appointed position and increase the pay grade from 32 to 35. The appointed
position and proposed pay grade level are consistent with the status of division directors in Public Lands and other
departments. The fully loaded annual cost for the increased pay grade is estimated at $10,032. The Department
reports this cost has been accounted for in the recently adopted FY2023 annual budget.
In addition to amending the staffing document as requested in this budget amendment, a new appointed employee
designation also requires amending the Appointed Employees Pay Plan in the annual Compensation Plan for non-
represented employees. At the same time as adopting the budget amendment, the Council could approve updating
that plan and direct HR to make the necessary changes. The Council has used this approach before when changing
positions from merit to appointed mid-year.
Background - The Urban Forestry Division Director manages all aspects of the City’s urban forest growth and
preservation needs including a multi-million-dollar budget and team of skilled trade professionals that provide
individualized customer services to thousands of residents annually. The position requires expertise in a specialized
biological science and the ability to apply and relate that knowledge to diverse city priorities and challenges.
A-8: Two New Contract Development Specialists in Finance ($103,900 from General Fund and
$5,000 from IMS Fund)
The Department of Finance is requesting two Contract Development Specialists. Since 2021 the contract requests
have been growing at a steady rate. In 2023 we are experiencing a surge of contracts that we couldn't have
predicted. As you can see on the graph in FY 2020 we had 96 contracts, in 2021 we had 197 contracts, in 2022 we
had 238 contracts, and current today we have 93 contracts (see graph). Two Contract Development Specialist
positions are being requested accommodate the increased workload. These positions are a pay code 26 with budget
for 6 months of salary plus an additional 26% for benefits.
Contract or “K” requests increased 148% from FY2020 to FY2022. Multiple factors are contributing to this increase
such as a growing operational budget for some departments, the influx of one-time federal funding (CARES Act,
American Rescue Plan Act or ARPA, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law), a generational level of capital
investments from the recently passed Sales Tax Bond, Parks, Trails and Open Space Bond and FY2023 Capital
Improvement Program or CIP.
Page | 9
Purchase Orders or “PRs” have remained relatively stable however supply chain issues such as very short ordering
windows are creating new problems for departments to navigate.
Policy Question:
➢Consider in the Annual Budget Context – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration whether the
two new requested FTEs should be considered as part of the next annual budget in context of the City’s overall
competing needs. The Administration indicates that the contracting process is currently experiencing longer
delays. Potential impacts of adding this request to the annual budget could be delayed project and program
implementation, slowed services to the public and increased costs due to later purchases if inflation continues.
Conversely, waiting for the annual budget maximizes the Council’s flexibility to consider all requests and
funding options comprehensively.
A-9: Lease, Utilities and Tenant Improvements for Two Police Substations ($678,462 from General
Fund Balance)
The ongoing costs associated with this request- Substations rent/utilities/parking is estimated to be $125,000 for
the downtown substation and $5,000 for the N. Temple substation. This cost is only for 7 months (Dec to June).
The annual budget amount needed would be closer to $225,000. The one-time costs associated with this request -
All other costs are one-time and related to initial setup. They include tenant improvement (TI) and office furniture
of $513,208 for the downtown location and $125,254 for the N. Temple location. See back up documentation for
details. Additionally, the parking area is estimated at $40k which covers costs, design, storm drain and landscaping.
Note that the downtown substation lease is for ten years and would be used by the Central Precinct. The North
Temple substation lease is for five years with two options to renew for an additional five-year period.
A-10: Renovations to Five Fire Stations for Gender Equity Improvements ($750,000 from General
Fund Balance)
Earlier this year, the Administration assessed all City fire stations evaluating workplace and personal space equity.
Note that fire stations # 3 and 14 were recently constructed a few years ago. The assessment focused on the City’s
older stations built a quarter century or longer ago.
Half the stations (# 2, 4, 6, 9, and 13) in the City were determined to need minor modifications. These were
completed using existing budgets with the Facilities Division. The other half (stations # 1, 5, 7, 8, and 10) were
found to lack reasonable accommodations for gender equity. An example of a reasonable accommodation is
renovation within the station to create a dorm and bathroom facility.
Major facility renovations typically go through the City’s annual Capital Improvement Program (CIP) process. CIP
is an open and competitive process where the Council can consider all the City’s capital needs together. Sometimes
capital improvement projects are considered outside the CIP process that are urgent for legal or equity reasons.
Page | 10
Background Information from the Administration: Historically, firefighting was a male-dominated profession. As a
result, yesterday’s fire stations were built to accommodate individuals of the same gender, traditions, and
background. Most of the fire stations in Salt Lake City were built in the late 80s and early 90s, with a few dating
back as far as 1971. Today, the fire service is universally more diverse, and are certainly more aware and respectful
of coworkers’ needs for inclusion and well-being. Individuals of different genders, gender identities, traditions,
backgrounds, and perspectives work together to form the current generation of firefighters. This emphasizes the
need to accommodate many different individuals in one fire station. Any firefighter or City employee should have a
basic expectation of privacy and appropriate accommodations. We have made efforts to address these expectations
internally, with limited success given the original design of the facilities. Today, our inability to permanently meet
these standards places an unfair burden on all employees and can negatively impact morale and workplace
productivity. A fire station should reflect Salt Lake City’s priorities of equitable and inclusive workspaces for all, and
the Salt Lake City Fire Department has an obligation to promote and meet those goals and objectives. The proposed
renovations to city facilities include modifying dorm rooms at fire stations 1, 7, and 10. This work will create
adequate privacy by separating current dorm rooms with new walls and doors. Station 8 will add additional privacy
by adding an additional bathroom and shower. Station 5 will require an additional dorm room with an adjacent
bathroom with shower.
A-11: Real Property Purchase ($430,000 from General Fund Balance)
The Administration is proposing the purchase of real property previously discussed in a closed session. Further
discussion about the purchase could be held in closed session if the Council desires. This is a key acquisition of real
property that will benefit the city and be utilized immediately with no additional budget impacts. The proposed
purchase would include a transfer from the general fund to the CIP fund for the purchase of the property. The
Surplus Land Fund is an alternative funding source to General Fund Balance. The current balance of the Surplus
Land Fund is $2,465,152.
The Surplus Land Fund receives proceeds from the sale of real property (land and buildings). According to City
policy the Surplus Land Fund can be spent on purchasing real property. The funds are one-time because the real
property can only be sold once.
A-12: Two New Public Lands Planner FTEs and One New Public Services Senior Project Manager
($302,600 from General Fund Balance – Ongoing Annual Cost $409,440)
Write-up from the Administration’s transmittal:
Full-time planning staff in the Public Lands Department are responsible for public engagement, design, consultant
management, cross-departmental coordination, and implementation tasks required to complete critical Public
Lands projects.
Existing project workloads and backlogs (approximately 70-80 funded yet incomplete projects) already necessitate
increased planning staff capacity. Significant increases in capital funding through the City Council-approved, $67.5
million Sales Tax Bond (August 2022) and the voter-approved, $85 million General Obligation (GO) Bond for
Parks, Trails, and Open Spaces (November 2022) have further cemented the need for and urgency of hiring
additional planners as quickly as possible.
As such, the Public Lands Department proposes hiring two (2) new full-time public lands project planners (pay
grade 28, non-union) through Budget Amendment #4 (FY22/23). This would allow the Department to tackle
existing backlog and begin bond projects with more immediacy. Two more planners would grow the Department’s
Planning Team to (5) total FTEs.
The Sr. Project Manager will work within the Engineering Division and oversee a program dedicated solely to the
proposed bond projects. This position will be necessary for oversight of design and construction, overall. This would
include procurement of design and construction management, financial management, coordination with the Parks
Division engagement efforts and preliminary design leading to construction - along with other administrative
functions and coordination. This position will need to be a skilled engineer, landscape architect or project
management professional with experience in large scale projects.
It is necessary to submit this request through a budget amendment rather than through next year’s FY23/24 annual
budget process due to the urgency and high expectations that the City and the public have in regard to the initiation
and completion of critical public lands bond projects. Because the eight GO Bond projects will not all begin at the
Page | 11
same time, the Department will be able to further assess the need for additional planners and resources and include
further Planning Team staffing requests through the annual budget process. Due to fleet delays and materials
shortages, this request also includes an additional Public Lands vehicle that will allow the Planning Team to
complete community engagement and site visit tasks. It is included in the budget amendment to receive the vehicle
as quickly as possible (with 8–10-month lead times becoming more common in recent years). Public Lands One-
time and annual costs for these two (2) additional FTEs include salaries, benefits, equipment and IMS Department
assistance, workspaces, and purchasing and maintaining one (1) compact fuel-efficient vehicle in the City’s fleet.
Additional Information from Council Staff: Note some of these amounts and uses changed after the
Administration’s proposal was transmitted and inadvertent errors were identified.
The total requested funding is $302,600. A detailed breakout of the costs by positions and use are listed below. The
fully loaded annual ongoing cost of the two planner FTEs is estimated at $241,440. The fully loaded annual ongoing
cost for one senior project manager FTE is estimated at $168,000.
-$69,000 one-time for the two planners of which $50,000 goes to Fleet for a vehicle, $4,000 to IMS for
electronic devices and $15,000 for office setup.
-$100,600 ongoing to provide five months of compensation funding for two planners
-$63,000 one-time for a senior project manager of which $50,000 goes to Fleet for a vehicle, $4,000 to IMS
for electronic devices and $9,000 for office setup.
-$70,000 ongoing to provide five months of compensation funding for a senior project manager.
Policy Questions:
➢Consider in the Annual Budget Context – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration whether the
three new requested FTEs should be considered as part of the next annual budget in context of the City’s overall
competing needs. The Administration indicates that some GO Bond projects could experience delays depending
on when the bond funds are issued, and which projects are in the first issuance. Conversely, waiting for the
annual budget maximizes the Council’s flexibility to consider all requests and funding options comprehensively.
➢CIP Project Delivery Needs – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration whether the three
proposed FTEs are the most urgent staffing needs for CIP and what other staffing or resource needs exist
(engineers, architects, financial positions, software, contracts, policies, etc.). During the annual budget Council
Members expressed interest in using the auditing powers of the legislative branch to find efficiencies and
improvements. The Council could also discuss with the Administration whether and how an audit of the Capital
Improvement Program could be helpful.
A-13: New Computers and Associated Devices for Airport Police ($155,028.26 from IMS Fund)
Note: straw poll requested
Write-up from the Administration:
The Council approved moving the Airport Police into the Police Department in Budget Amendment #1 of FY2019.
The Police Department and the Airport recently worked on a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to govern
services, costs, and related matters. As part of the MOU, the Information Management Services Department (IMS)
will provide technical support and equipment for police officers working at the Airport. This will better ensure all
police officers are using the same devices, software and have similar skillsets. There may be interoperability and
uniformity of force benefits from further integration of the Airport police into the Police Department.
We are requesting 64 new devices to be used by the Police Officers for the Airport Division that was recently moved
to them. There is a total of 66 officers currently serving at the airport. Two devices have recently been updated. We
are therefore requesting an additional 64 computers for the remaining officers.
Docks are not needed for each additional computer but will be set up as specific workstations where officers while
not in the field may sit for report writing or other administrative responsibilities. These will be hotel-style stations
that will be shared and be able to be used by any officer. We are requesting 10 docks for this purpose. The dock in
the quote is not the dock that will be used, but a standardized Thunderbolt 4 dock which is the new universal
standard and will be compatible with the next generation computers that come out. The last batch of docks we
purchased at the price listed below. We are also requesting a total of 13 car adapters for the airport vehicles. These
Page | 12
devices come with a standard 3-year warranty. They are also strong ruggedized devices. We are recommending that
we don't get the additional bumper-to-bumper warranty as shown on the initial quote. Our historical data shows
that the devices do not break at a cost greater than the increase in the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Therefore, we
recommend skipping the additional warranty currently.
Price Quantity Total
Computer $2,350.93 64 $150,459.52
Docks 284.00 10 2,840
Car Adaptor 132.98 13 1,728.74
TOTAL $155,028.26
The Administration has requested the Council consider a straw poll for this item because supply chain issues have
created delays in ordering computers and other electronic devices. IMS reports delays have exceeded nine months
in some cases.
A-14: Police Officer Patrol Overtime to Cover Vacant Positions and Officers on Leave ($2,539,019
from General Fund Balance)
The Police Department is requesting funding for patrol response staffing to maintain staffing at a level that provides
safety in the community and helps to reduce call response times. Staffing levels continue to be strained and officer
leave of all types is directly impacting patrol staffing. In September 2022, the Police Department added mandatory
patrol shifts to cover shifts that are not currently staffed. For the current trimester, the Department added 18 patrol
shifts per day. Demand for patrol resources has steadily increased over the past six years. Response times is a
metric the Department is constantly striving to improve to help improve community expectations.
The Administration stated that vacancy savings are being used to fund overtime shifts, paid leave, shift extensions
and other personnel services costs. The vacancy savings are insufficient to cover minimum patrol staffing levels.
The Police Department plans to offer shifts using these funds in the second half of the fiscal year as voluntary
overtime. However, mandatory overtime could be reinstated if voluntary overtime coverage does not meet
minimum patrol staffing levels and based on priority 1 (most serious crimes) response times. Overtime shifts may
be paid at $65/hour to incentive voluntary coverage.
There are currently 29 officers on leave for several reasons (military, administrative, FMLA, parental, short-term
disability, and workers comp). 67 officers are in training. There are currently 43 police officer vacancies. This is an
improvement over the 56 vacancies reported during the annual budget deliberations back in May. It’s important to
note that the number of police officers increased by 24 this calendar year including:
-2 sergeants and 10 police officer positions from the State Homeless Shelter Cities Mitigation grant focused
on the Miller and King homeless resource centers (HRC) and the surrounding neighborhoods
o The two sergeants have been hired and the 10 police officers are in training
o The grant includes $186,000 for police officer overtime at and around the two HRCs
-1 sergeant and nine police officer positions to form a Violent Criminal Apprehension Team partly funded by
the DOJ’s COPS Hiring Grant approved in Budget Amendment #6 of FY2022
-1 sergeant for the Special Victims Unit approved in Budget Amendment #6 of FY2022
-1 lieutenant police officer as Director over the new Civilian Response Team program approved in the last
annual budget
The Administration stated overtime funding is needed for several reasons including continued prolonged staffing
vacancies since 2020, continued increases of calls for service, 2022 year to date reductions in crime reports have
not reach a corresponding level where current staffing would allow ideal response times to the most serious priority
1 calls, callouts for major criminal events which are unpredictable, and the need to have time for officers to be in the
community building relationships and conducting proactive policing work. The Police Department credits overtime
funding this year with recent increases of proactive police work particularly in focus areas.
Note that items D-10, E-1, and E-4 are also requesting funding for overtime staffing at the Police Department. If all
the items are approved, then the total funding for overtime at the Police Department in FY2023 is over $6 million.

Section B: Grants for Existing Staff Resources Section
(None)
Section C: Grants for New Staff Resources Section
(None)
Section D: Housekeeping
D-1: Market Pay Adjustment – General Fund Transfer to Golf
The Golf Enterprise Fund did not receive the FY23 NFP & CCAC market pay adjustment revenues. The Public Lands
Department is requesting a housekeeping budget amendment to transfer a portion of general fund budget from
Public Lands to the Golf Fund to cover these costs and the remaining amount will come from the Golf Fund balance.
D-2: FY 2023 General Fund Funded Vehicle Purchases
In Fiscal Year 2023 budget vehicles were added to the City's Fleet in the General Fund for new FTEs. However,
Public Services Fleet did not receive the budget for the transfer from the General Fund to the Fleet Fund, or the
budget for the related expenditures. This amendment will transfer funds to cover these purchases and provide the
expenditure budget.
D-3: FY 2022 Fleet Vehicle Purchases
Public Services Fleet requested rollover funds on FY 2023 Budget Amendment 1 item D4. There was a discrepancy
in the funding detail and Public Services Fleet requires $90,000 to order all vehicles.
D-4: Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2022 C Federally Taxable
Sales and Excise Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2022 C Federally Taxable, were sold in October 2022 for the purpose of
financing five projects. This amendment creates the revenue budget for the receipt of bond proceeds and the
expenditure budget to pay for construction of the five projects. There will be five project cost centers in Fund 83 to
which bond proceeds will be allocated. One cost center will receive $6,100,000 for the Central Plant Electrical
Transformer Upgrade & Emergency Backup Generators project. A second cost center will receive $10,000,000 for
the Pioneer Park Improvements project. A third cost center will receive $3,000,000 for the Fisher Mansion
Stabilization & Improvements project. A fourth cost center will receive $2,000,000 for the Urban Wood
Reutilization Equipment and Storage Additions project. A fifth cost center will receive $3,000,000 for the Smith's
Ballpark Improvements project. There will also be a unique cost center for the bond's cost of issuance. This cost
center will receive $140,000.
Staff note: This is the last budget step for the bond funded projects. After this budget approval there will not be
further Council actions required for the projects to proceed.
D-5: Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2022 B Non-Taxable
Sales and Excise Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2022 B Non-Taxable, were sold in October 2022 for the purpose of
financing five projects. This amendment creates the revenue budget for the receipt of bond proceeds and the
expenditure budget to pay for construction of the five projects. There will be five project cost centers in Fund 83 to
which bond proceeds will be allocated. One cost center will receive $6,100,000 for the Westside Railroad Quiet
Zone project. A second cost center will receive $8,000,000 for the Warm Springs Plunge Structure Stabilization &
Improvements project. A third cost center will receive $11,200,000 for City Cemetery Road Repairs /
Reconstruction project. A fourth cost center will receive $9,753,000 for the 600 North Corridor Transformation
project. A fifth cost center will receive $7,500,000 for the Radio Towers project. There will also be a unique cost
center for the bond's cost of issuance. This cost center will receive $244,846.
Staff note: This is the last budget step for the bond funded projects. After this budget approval there will not be
further Council actions required for the projects to proceed.
D-6: General Obligation Series 2022 Streets Bonds
In November 2018, voters authorized the issuance of up to $87 million in general obligation bonds to fund street
construction. The General Obligation Bonds, Series 2022 were sold in September 2022 as the fourth and final
issuance of the authorization. This amendment creates the revenue budget for the receipt of bond proceeds and the
expenditure budget to pay for construction of the street projects associated with the bonds. There will be eight
Page | 14
project cost centers in Fund 83 to which bond proceeds will be allocated. The funding will be allocated as shown
below:
1. $3,000,000 for the 1300 E (2100 S to the city limits) project.
2. $1,300,000 for Virginia Street (South Temple St to 11th Ave.) project.
3. $2,000,000 for West Temple (South Temple St to 200 South).
4. $3,000,000 for local streets construction projects.
5. $1,500,000 for the 1700 East (900 S) (2100 South to 2700 South) project.
6. $8,000,000 for the 2100 South (700 East to 1300 East) project.
7. $2,000,000 for additional local streets construction projects.
8. $2,500,000 for 100 East / Highland Dr to augment prior funding.
There will also be a $194,957.90 allocation associated with the bond's cost of issuance.
D-7: Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2022 B & C
The Sales Tax Revenue Bonds, Series 2022 B&C were issued in October 2022 for the purpose of financing several
capital projects throughout the City. The bonds were issued at a par amount of $64,225. The first interest payment
is due on April 1, 2023. The Council added a $4,393,161 placeholder in the annual budget for a first year debt
payment on the proposed sales tax revenue bond. The first debt payments total $1,196,588 which is $3,196,573 less
than the placeholder. The first debt payments are less than expected because they are interest-only payments.
Beginning next fiscal year, the payments will include principal and interest. The annual debt payments will be
approximately $5.1 million for the next 20 years when the bonds will be fully paid off.
D-8: FY 2022 Year End Fleet Encumbrance Rollover to FY 2023
Timing of vehicle and equipment orders tend to overlap the City's fiscal year cycle. Public Service Fleet has vehicles
on order with funding that was encumbered in FY 2022. This amendment will move encumbered funds to FY 2023.
D-9: FY 2022 Year End IMS Encumbrance Rollover to FY 2023
IMS has encumbered money that was expected to be paid out of the FY22 funds and needs to be paid in FY23.
These encumbrances are listed in the Carry Over Encumbrance reports. All of these items have been approved for
purchase by central finance in a prior year. These expenses will be paid for by the annual allocation that IMS uses to
collect its revenue on an annual basis.
D-10: Winter Shelter Overflow Patrol Resources – Informational Only
In Budget Amendment #4 of FY2022, the Council appropriated $400,000 from ARPA for Police Department
overtime staffing at the winter overflow shelter, the Weigand Homeless Resource Center and the surrounding
neighborhoods. $378,560 of the funds remain available for other ARPA eligible uses. Grant funds do not lapse to
fund balance but remain in the appropriated budget between fiscal years. However, since these funds were for the
2021-2022 winter shelter they are unavailable for use during the upcoming 2022-2023 winter overflow shelter
time. The funds were not all spent last winter in part because of the delayed shelter opening. The Administration is
requesting the Council approve using the remaining funds for the same use this winter.
Section E: Grants Requiring No New Staff Resources
E-1 Homeless Shelter Cities Mitigation Grant Increase for Homeless Resource Centers Flex
Capacity and Winter Overflow Shelter ($694,122 from State Formula Grant)
This budget amendment is to recognize the City's annual State of Utah Homeless Shelter Cities Mitigation Grant
Amendment #1 for FY23 in the amount of $694,122 for the purpose of addressing homelessness and homelessness
related services in Salt Lake City.
This year the State changed the process for distributing funds from a competitive grant to a formula grant. Due to
HB440 and the State's decision to flex-up, the City is now eligible for an additional amount of the State Homeless
Cities Mitigation funding to support the flex up (take-on additional shelter clients during the winter). However, as a
result of a decision by the Utah Homeless Council, SLC is required to pass 2/3 of this new mitigation funding
through to a service provider who is slated to provide winter overflow shelter and 1/3 may be used for City
identified mitigation activities. Housing Stability staff have reviewed winter overflow shelter budgets and propose
that the required 2/3 be passed through to Shelter the Homeless for overflow security and transportation, and the
remaining 1/3 be directed to the Police Department for camp mitigation overtime shifts. Note: This additional
$694,122 was not applied for; it was part of the State’s formula that is coming to Salt Lake City. $462,748 would be
Page | 15
a pass through to Shelter the Homeless for operation costs at the Miller HRC and King HRC. The remaining
$231,374 would be used for overtime staffing by the Police Department at the two HRCs, the Weigand Center
downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods. It’s important to note that this funding is in addition to the $2.75
million recently awarded to the City from the annual State Homeless Shelter Cities Mitigation grant.
Note that items A-14, D-10 and E-4 are also requesting funding for overtime staffing at the Police Department.
Policy Question:
➢Other Funding Needs Related to Winter Overflow Shelter Plans – The Council may wish to ask the
Administration if there are other City funding needs related to flexing capacity at the two HRCs and the States’
winter overflow shelter plan.
E-2: Rehabilitation of High Hazard Potential Dams: Lake Mary-Phoebe Planning and Design
($260,687 from Department of Homeland Security Grant)
This budget amendment is to recognize the City's funding availability grant award in the amount of $260,687 for
the purpose of planning and design for the rehabilitation of Lake Mary-Phoebe in Salt Lake City. The State of Utah,
Division of Water Resources secured the funding from the Department of Homeland Security. The grant can be
used to fund 65% of planning and design work.
There are no new FTEs. Public Utilities has discussed potential projects on the Lake Mary Dam internally and with
Utah Dam Safety Program. The intent was to budget work for Fiscal Year 2024. Given the available funding
opportunity, Public Utilities has determined the schedule will be accelerated and initiate the evaluation and design
to take advantage of the grant. Public Utilities has identified and will commit funding to mat the remaining 35% or
$130,344 of the project. We need to put a hold on this funding until an award agreement is received. We have
received an email announcing the award.
Lake Mary-Phoebe is located near Brighton Ski Resort at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon. The lake is located at
the headwaters of Big Cottonwood Creek within the protected watershed that supports Salt Lake City’s water supply
and water quality. Lake Mary-Phoebe dam is operated by the Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities with
storage water being conveyed to the Big Cottonwood Water Treatment Plant, where the water is treated and
distributed to Salt Lake City residents and customers. See Attachment #1 for a map showing the dam location.
E-3: Emergency Rental Assistance Program Additional Funding for City Renters ($5 Million from
U.S. Treasury)
The Treasury has reallocated unspent Emergency Rent Assistance Program (ERAP) 1 funds set-aside for the State of
Utah by low-performing cities and made these funds available to apply for by high-performing cities, such as Salt
Lake City. To administer Salt Lake City’s initial ERAP 1 award, the City contracted with the State of Utah,
Department of Workforce Services’ (DWS) online Utah Rent Relief application portal, https://rentrelief.utah.gov/.
Coordinating with DWS, Housing Stability staff have determined that Salt Lake City could apply for $5,000,000 in
reallocated ERAP 1. These funds will further assist Salt Lake City residents with deposit, rent, utilities, rent arrears,
and utility arrears, again utilizing the Utah Rent Relief application portal. Note: This new request is separate from,
and does not affect, the City’s other Treasury ERAP 1 ($6,067,033), ERAP 1 Reallocated ($3,000,000), and ERAP 2
($4,800,559.40) awards. See attached funding memos and award email from Treasury.
Any of the additional emergency rental assistance funds remaining after the end of calendar year 2022 must be
returned to the U.S. Treasury. This is an extension from the original deadline of September 30, 2022. No further
extensions are allowed per federal law. The City has averaged $2 million a month in awards of emergency rental
assistance. If this pace of awards continues, then the City would be able to spend the entire $5 million before the
deadline.
If this item is approved, then the City will have received nearly $23 million in emergency rental assistance for
residents during the pandemic.
The Administration provided the below additional context on how these funds have benefited City residents.
Page | 16
Collaboration: The ERA program has brought together a coalition of organizations committed to ensuring rental
assistance reaches those most in need. This coalition includes our funding partners at the County and State, the
Community Action Partnership of Utah, community health workers, legal aid organizations, the Utah Courts, and
community-based non-profits. Utah Community Action and Centro de la Familia provide assistance to those who
need help applying for assistance.
Equity: The funds have reached the communities most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among applicants
who received assistance:
- 100% had incomes less than 80% AMI
- 53% identified as racial or ethnic minorities
- 57% were women
- 73% lived in zip codes west of 500 East
- 47% were unemployed
- Ages ranged from 18 to 90 years old
Dashboard: The State Department of Workforce Services provides a public interactive map showing emergency
rental assistance by zip code available here:

E-4: Clean Neighborhoods Team Police Officer Overtime Mitigation Additional Funding ($1.664
Million from ARPA)
The Administration is requesting $1,664,000 of funding, to provide funding for Clean Neighborhoods Teams for the
Police Department to provide staffing to support the homeless encampment cleanup and camp re-establishment
stabilization as requested by the Salt Lake County Health Department. Police officers working extra overtime shifts
will provide security to ensure the cleanups can proceed in an environment that will be safe for all involved. Staffing
numbers will vary depending on the size, number of cleanups and the location.
The City’s total ARPA fiscal recovery funds award is $85,411,572. Of this amount, $25,332,867 has been spent as of
September 30, 2022 and $33,043,966 have been budgeted. The remaining unobligated available to spend balance is
$25,434,739. If this item is approved as requested by the Administration, then the balance would be $23,834,739.
During the last annual budget deliberations, the City expected to use $15.5 million from ARPA in the FY2024
annual budget for estimated obligations such as revenue loss replacement, salary restorations and eligible
Community Commitment Program costs. The estimated obligations and eligibility will change based on the City’s
actual revenues, needs and potential further guidance from the U.S. Treasury.
ARPA funds must be obligated (encumbered under a contract) by the end of calendar year 2024 and fully spent (no
funds left in the bank account) by the end of calendar year 2026.
Note that items A-14, D-10 and E-1 are also requesting funding for overtime staffing at the Police Department.
Policy Questions:
➢Meeting Federal ARPA Deadlines – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration the City’s plans to
use the remaining ARPA funds by the Federal Government’s deadlines.
➢Need for ARPA Funds in FY2024 – The Council may wish to ask the Administration to what extent ARPA funds
may be needed in the FY2024 annual budget. The City’s FY2023 annual budget contemplated use of ARPA
funds in FY2024 for revenue loss replacement and salary restorations as allowed by U.S. Treasury guidelines.
➢Review Interlocal Agreement with County for Camp Abatements – The Council may wish to ask the
Administration to review the 2017 interlocal agreement between Salt Lake City and County for abatements of
transient camps. The contract requires the City to provide “law enforcement support, limited equipment, and
limited labor” for these regularly scheduled abatements, as appropriations are available.

Section I: Council Added Items
I-1: Vouchers for RV Black Water Disposal at Designated Sites Pilot Program ($10,000 from
General Fund Balance)
Council Member Puy has proposed funding for a pilot program to address water quality concerns related to safe and
sanitary disposal of black water from RVs. These one-time funds would be used in coordination with the Salt Lake
County Health Department and City outreach teams to incentivize RVs to dump black water at designated sites
Page | 18
rather than in the Jordan River. At the time of publishing this staff report the cost per disposal and location of
disposal sites was being researched to determine how many RVs could participate in the program.
I-2: Electric Vehicle EV Charging Infrastructure on 200 South ($38,000 Grant from Rocky
Mountain Power)
Note: straw poll requested
On October 25 the City applied for this make ready grant funding to include EV charging as part of the upcoming
200 South reconstruction project. The grant was quickly awarded and the City must sign the acceptance letter
within 30 days which is faster than expected at the time of application. As a result, the Administration has
requested the Council consider making the grant funding a Council-added item. The Administration has also
requested a straw poll if the Council supports acceptance of the grant since final approval in this budget amendment
would happen after the 30 day acceptance deadline.
I-3: Real Property Purchase ($3.3 Million from General Fund Balance)
This item is a placeholder for the purchase of real property to be discussed in a closed session as allowed by state
law. The proposed purchase would include a transfer from the General Fund to the CIP Fund for the purchase of the
property.

STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO: City Council Members
FROM: Sam Owen, Policy Analyst
DATE: December 6, 2022
RE: Ordinance: Establishing Limits
For New Water Availability
ISSUE AT A GLANCE
The purpose of the proposal is to “advance water conservation and management efforts with respect to
water services provided by the city to help assure that water is available for the city’s water customers
in the future.”
In other words, the proposal before the Council is one measure to conserve future water use and
protect the investment and resources of city residents.
INTRO AND KEY ITEMS
The Council previously adopted a land use ordinance to prohibit industrial and commercial uses
consuming over 200,000 gallons per day.
One challenge for planning and securing the water supply future for this area is that tools available to
the city to manage water supply do not always extend through the system.
The current land use ordinance does not apply to customers on the water system who are exempt from
changes in the city zoning to limit water use, for example businesses and residences outside the city.
This proposed ordinance expands that prohibition to the city’s entire water service area, which goes
beyond Salt Lake City into neighboring jurisdictions.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: December 6, 2022
Public Hearing:
Potential Action: December 6, 2022
Page | 2
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The city sells water outside its delivery system under limited circumstances. How do the city’s
surplus water agreements compare in terms of quantity with the restriction being proposed?
2. Notably, the proposal provides that “an existing water customer that currently exceeds the
water use threshold of 200,000 gallons of potable water per day will not receive water service
from the City if the expansion will result in a net increase in water consumption or use.”
The Council might ask about whether the large-scale water users on the system outside the city
are comparable to number and frequency of those in the city.
Does the department anticipate more relatively intensive water use demand outside the city?
ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
One whereas clause in the resolution that adopts the ordinance states, “immediate steps are
appropriate to limit use of the City’s water resources by water consumers that would consume very
large quantities of water that would exacerbate the pressures on the City’s water resources and the
Great Salt Lake system.”

SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. __ of 2022
(An ordinance amending 17.16.10(c) and 17.16.020 limiting water availability)
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Council finds that the City has adequate water resources
for the current needs of the City’s customers in the City’s designated water service area; and
WHEREAS, the City holds water interests that can be developed in the future for the
benefit of its water customers, but the City’s water resource supply is not unlimited and changing
environmental conditions, prolonged drought and development are placing significant pressures
on the City’s water resources; and
WHEREAS, the City’s water service area includes areas outside of the City where the
City does not have land use authority or other powers to regulate development that could be used
to help manage the future availability of water to all the City’s water customers; and
WHEREAS, the majority of the City’s water resources emanate from the watershed that
contributes water to the Great Salt Lake, and the City is very concerned that a shrinking Great
Salt Lake has significant negative ramifications to the health and welfare of the public and
environment; and
WHEREAS, immediate steps are appropriate to limit use of the City’s water resources by
water consumers that would consume very large quantities of water that would exacerbate the
pressures on the City’s water resources and the Great Salt Lake system; and
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Council desires to place reasonable limits on the future
use of water availability to help protect and preserve the availability of the City to provide water
to its current customers and to future development in the City’s water service area that will
promote the public health, safety and general welfare of the present and future City residents and
neighboring communities; and
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Council finds, after holding a public hearing on this
matter, that adopting this ordinance promotes the health, safety, and public welfare of the
citizens of the City and neighboring communities within the City’s water service area.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. Amending the Text of Salt Lake City Code Chapter 17.16. That Chapter
17.16 be amended as by adding a new subsection, 17.16.10 (C) and amending 17.16.020 as
follows:
17.16.010: FURNISHING OF WATER; APPLICATION REQUIRED:
A. No culinary water shall be furnished to any house, tenement, apartment, building,
place, premises or lot, whether such water is for the use of the owner or tenant, unless the
application for water shall be made in writing, signed by such owner or the owner's duly
authorized agents, in which application the owner shall agree to pay for all water furnished
thereto according to city ordinances, rules and regulations.
B. In case an application to furnish water shall be made by a tenant of the owner, as a
condition of granting the same, such owner or the owner's duly authorized agent must either
cosign the application or sign a separate agreement which provides that, in consideration of the
granting of such application, the owner will pay for all water furnished such tenant, or any other
occupant of the place named in the application, in case such tenant or occupant shall fail to pay
the same in accordance with the city's ordinances, rules and regulations.
C. The City will deny water service in the City’s designated water service area and areas
where the City is providing water under surplus water sales agreements under the following
conditions:
a. New development: Any new commercial or industrial development that
consumes or uses more than an annual average of 200,000 gallons of potable water per day
within the City’s designated water service area and under circumstances where the City is
providing water under a surplus water sales agreement. The use and consumption limit is based
on the total use from all water meters that serve the new development.
b. Expansions of Existing Uses: Any commercial or industrial development that
expands to an extent that increases its daily potable water consumption or use to exceed an
annual average of 200,000 gallons of potable water per day. Notwithstanding the provisions of
the City Code, an existing water customer that currently exceeds the water use threshold of
200,000 gallons of potable water per day will not receive water service from the City if the
expansion will result in a net increase in water consumption or use. The use and consumption
limit is based on the total use from all water meters that serve the water customer.
c. The Director of the Department of Public Utilities may also deny water service to
a new or existing water customer for water use that exceeds an average of 200,000 gallons of
potable water per day over less than a year, if the proposed use would exceed the anticipated
water availably for a particular location within the City’s designated water service area or within
areas where the City is providing water under surplus water sales agreements.
d. Water Use Report Required: A new or existing water customer shall certify the
anticipated daily water use of a proposed development or expansion of existing use in a manner
satisfactory to the Department of Public Utilities. The Department of Public Utilities may require
an anticipated daily water use report of any water customer for a new use or expansion of an
existing use.
e. Exemption: Agricultural, residential, and institutional water customers are not
subject to the regulations of this subsection. For purposes of this section, an institutional water
customer includes government owned or operated facilities, places of worship, and hospitals.
17.16.020: APPLICATION; CONTENTS:
The applicant shall state fully and truly the purpose for which water is required, the
anticipated daily water use, and shall agree to conform to and be governed by such ordinances,
rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the city for the control of the water supply. The
applicant(s) agrees to be responsible for and pay all bills due the city on account of materials or
labor furnished.

use of water availability to help protect and preserve the availability of the City to provide water 23

SUBJECT: Amending an Interlocal Agreement Between Sandy and Salt Lake City Regarding
CAD and RMS Services.
STAFF CONTACT: Stephen Meyer, Salt Lake City 911 Executive Director,
Stephen.Meyer@slcgov.com, 801.799.3592
DOCUMENT TYPE: Resolution
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt
BUDGET IMPACT: Salt Lake City will continue to receive Sandy’s portion of 911 Emergency
Telephone Service Charge Revenue from the Utah State Tax Commission. Additionally, Sandy
will also pay its portion of any pass-through costs charged by the CAD and RMS vendors and
will pay Salt Lake City Corporation an additional $153,193 per quarter. The $153,193 quarterly
payment will be adjusted annually to reflect that Sandy City will pay 7.12% of any total cost
increases Salt Lake City incurs to provide the CAD and RMS services.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In October 2013, Salt Lake City and Sandy City entered into
an Interlocal Agreement (the “Original Agreement”) under which Salt Lake City 911
Communications Bureau would provide dispatch services, including computer aided dispatch
(“CAD”) and record management system (“RMS”) services to Sandy City. The Original
Agreement contemplated that the proportional amounts charged to Sandy City for such services
would be calculated based on the Parties’ estimated call volume and system usage. However, the
pertinent state agencies have indicated that they cannot provide the data necessary to accurately
calculate each parties’ proportional call volume and system usage. Moreover, the parties have
mutually determined that the compensation approach used historically that attempts to rely on

actual costs incurred in rendering services is excessively burdensome, less predictable, and
administratively costly. In light of the challenges associated with obtaining the necessary data,
and in order to create a predictable and streamlined approach to calculating the appropriate
compensation for the dispatch services provided, Salt Lake City and Sandy desire to amend the
Original Agreement.
Under the amended agreement, Salt Lake City would receive various forms of compensation
from Sandy City as outlined in the “Budget Impact” Section above. The compensation is
intended to substantially cover Salt Lake City’s direct costs and any indirect costs incurred in
providing dispatch services to Sandy City. The total compensation Salt Lake City receives under
the proposed amendment should not be materially different from the total compensation received
under the Original Agreement. However, the proposed amendment should reduce the City’s
significant administrative costs and expenditure of resources that are currently incurred in
administering and operating under the Original Agreement. The proposed amendment will also
eliminate ambiguities existing in the Original Agreement related to the fact that the pertinent
state agencies cannot provide the data necessary to accurately calculate the Parties’ proportional
call volume and system usage. In summary, the compensation received by Salt Lake City under
this proposed amendment should not be materially different than the amount of compensation
Salt Lake City currently receives under the Original Agreement. However, adopting the
proposed amendment will benefit both Salt Lake City and Sandy City by reducing the
unnecessary expenditure of municipal resources related to the provision of dispatch services and
by eliminating any purported reliance on information that the pertinent state agencies have now
clearly indicated is not available.
If the parties determine that the compensation received under the amended agreement is not an
accurate reflection of the costs shared between the parties, then the Agreement contains
provisions that would allow a party to either (i) pursue a revised cost structure that better reflects
the parties’ proportionate costs, or (ii) withdraw from the Agreement after providing sufficient
notice of such withdrawal to the other party.

Reasoning behind staff recommendation
Applicants of The Economic Development Loan Fund (EDLF) go through a thorough application
process consisting of a pre-screening, underwriting analysis and economic impact statement. Only
after the loan applicant goes through these processes is the application recommended to be
reviewed by the Loan Committee members. Upon the thorough review by the Loan Committee
members a recommendation is made before the loan is transmitted to the Mayor for Council to
receive the recommendation for final approval. Because the Loan Committee review process must
adhere to the Utah Open and Public Meetings Act, DED’s staff has worked closely with the City
Attorney’s Office to ensure that applicants’ information is protected and at the same time the
public process is followed.
In addition, the EDLF loans must meet the following goals of the Economic Development Loan
Fund as stated in the EDLF program guidelines. This loan meets the EDLF program guidelines in
the following areas.
•Increase employment opportunities
•Stimulate business development and expansion
•Encourage private investment
•Promote economic development
•Enhance neighborhood vitality
•Boost commercial enterprise
T his loan will assist in the creation of 45 new jobs in the next year and retention of 3 current jobs.
T his loan was recommended by the EDLF Committee to the City Council for approval.
