combining projects across departments and plans, tracking metrics for high-level policy
goals, and aligning funding sources with eligible uses.

2.Ordinances: Form Based Urban Neighborhood Zoning Text Amendment
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would
create the Form-Based Mixed Use 11 (FB-MU11), previously titled Form-Based Urban
Neighborhood 3 or FB-UN3, as well as an ordinance that would amend the zoning map to
apply the FB-MU11 to the fleet block property. The fleet block property is located
between 800 South and 900 South Streets and 300 West and 400 West Street. Form-
Based code focuses on the form and appearance of buildings and has more regulations
that control those aspects of development than traditional zones. The proposal would
apply regulations such as building design, height, bulk, use, and other development
standards and land uses. The new zoning district is being renamed FB-MU11 in
anticipation of future related form-based zoning districts being created. Consideration
may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar
characteristics. Other sections of Title 21A – Zoning may also be amended as part of this
petition. Petition No. PLNPCM2019-00277

The Council will set the date of Tuesday, September 19, 2023 at 7 p.m. to accept public
comment and consider a request for an annexation and zoning changes for properties
located at approximately 2350 North Rose Park Lane. The changes include:
Annexation into Salt Lake City approximately 28 acres of property generally
located at approximately 2441 North Rose Park Lane. The annexation requires
designating a zone for each property within the annexation area. The properties
are proposed to be zoned as follows:
•2440 N Rose Park Lane (City-owned) – OS, Open Space
•2441 N Rose Park Lane (Hunter Stables) – R-MU, Residential/Mixed-Use
•2462 N Rose Park Lane (State-owned) – OS, Open Space
Zoning Map Amendment at approximately 2350 North Rose Park Lane from AG-
2 – Agricultural to R-MU, Residential/Mixed Use. The property is currently
within Salt Lake City boundaries. Although the petitions propose specific zones
for the properties, the Council may consider other zones with similar
characteristics. The properties at 2350 and 2441 North are currently used for
horse boarding and outdoor equipment storage.
The changes would facilitate the future development of a mixed-use, multi-family
residential development with potentially 1800 dwelling units. Additional
properties at 2440 North (City-owned) and 2462 North Rose Park Lane (State-
owned) would be annexed into the City as part of the petition. Petition No.

b. How old is this pipe, and what is the expected life of the new pipe?

budget process?
•This project will be included in the FY24-25 budget as the work will be completed regardless of if funding is awarded. If the
appropriation request is successful, we will be able to offset future budget requests by the amount awarded. No other sources have
been identified.
d. Could you please provide a map of the locations? It’s unclear where these improvements would be made.
•See attached Marcus to Artesian Phase 2 Map.

GRANT DETAILS:
The Department of Public Utilities made a request of Burgess Owens, Congressman for Utah’s Fourth Congressional
District, to consider forwarding a Community Project Funding Fiscal Year 2024 appropriation request to the Interior,
Environment and Related Agencies Committee for the Marcus to Artesian Basin Transmission Line Phase 2 Project.
The project replaces a vital 36” transmission line (pipeline) conveying water supply to the largest pressure zone in
the water distribution system managed by Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities that delivers water to parts of
Cottonwood Heights, Holladay, Midvale, Millcreek, Murray, and South Salt Lake City in addition to Salt Lake City.
The existing pipeline is beyond its useful life and requires routine repairs and additional maintenance to assure
reliability of culinary water conveyance to water users.
The Department of Public Utilities will request the local non-federal match monies through the Fiscal Year 2024-
2025 budget process.

RE: Alley Vacation at Approximately 2167 South 800 East
PLNPCM2022-00802
BRIEFING UPDATE
During the briefing, Council Members clarified that the property owners on Wilmington Avenue would
receive the vacated alley property if the proposal is adopted by the Council. Planning staff stated there was
no significant opposition to the proposal.
The following information was provided for the September 12, 2023 Council briefing
and public hearing. It is included again for background purposes.
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to vacate an approximately 156.75 foot by 7.3-foot east/west
alley segment adjacent to the properties at 801, 809, 815, and 825 East Wilmington Avenue (~2170 South)
in Council District Seven as shown in the image below. The remaining section of alley continues to 900
East and a portion of that alley segment is the subject of a separate alley vacation petition being processed
at the same time.
The subject alley segment has been used for more than 20 years as a driveway for the home at 2167 South
800 East. A gate at the rear of that property blocks the alley making it impassable.
Section 14.52.040 Salt Lake City Code outlines the method of disposition of alley property if a petition is
approved by the City Council. If abutting properties are zoned for low density residential use, as in this
case, the alley is merely vacated, divided in half and the owners are not charged. However, case law
determined that when a vacated alley is on the perimeter of a subdivision, title to the entire alley width
goes to abutting property owners within the subdivision from which it was created.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: September 12, 2023
Set Date: September 19, 2023
Public Hearing: October 17, 2023
Potential Action: November 7, 2023
Page | 2
The subject alley was created from the subdivision in which abutting Wilmington Avenue properties are
located. The property at 2167 South 800 East is in a different subdivision and would not receive half the
alley property if the vacation request is approved by the Council. That owner is supportive of the alley
vacation and signed the petition. He could work with abutting Wilmington Avenue property owners to
purchase the alley segment. Such a transaction would be private and not involve the City.
During City department and division review of the alley vacation petition, the Engineering Division stated
it is generally opposed to vacating public ways. No other responding department or division objected to the
proposed alley vacation.
The Planning Commission reviewed this petition at its February 8, 2o23 meeting and held a public hearing
at which one person spoke in support of the proposed alley vacation. An email from the Sugar House
Community Council supporting the vacation was also read.
The Commission followed Planning staff’s recommendation and voted 10-1 in support of the proposed alley
vacation, with a condition that a utility easement is established in place of the existing public alley right-of-
way. The Commissioner who voted against the alley vacation stated she prefers to leave the entire alley
open for public use. That would require obstructions such as accessory buildings, and temporary blockages
partially or completely blocking the alley to be removed.
Goal of the briefing: To review the proposed alley closure, address questions Council Members may
have and prepare for a public hearing.
POLICY QUESTION
1. Does the Council support the Planning Commission’s recommendation to close this alley?
Image showing the subject alley vacation request highlighted in yellow.
(The abutting alley vacation request is highlighted in orange.)
Image courtesy Salt Lake City Planning Division
ADDITONAL INFORMATION
Alley vacation requests receive three phases of review, as outlined in section 14.52.030 Salt Lake City Code
Page | 3
(see pages 5-7 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.
Planning staff identified four key considerations connected to this alley vacation. A short description of
each issue is provided below for reference. Please see pages 5-7 of the Planning Commission staff report for
full analysis of these issues.
Condition 1: Property Owner Consent
Section 14.52.030.A.1 Salt Lake City Code requires a minimum of 75% of abutting property owners sign a
petition to vacate a City owned alley. All four abutting property owners on Wilmington Avenue signed the
petition. As noted above, the abutting property owner at 2167 South 800 East, who would not receive any
property as part of the potential vacation, also signed the petition in support of vacating the alley.
Condition 2: Master Plan Considerations
The Sugar House Master Plan and Plan Salt Lake both support alleyways as contributors to connectivity
and the pedestrian orientation in established neighborhoods. However, abutting property owners
frequently seek to vacate alleys due to lack of maintenance, access issues, and undesirable activities in the
alleys.
Condition 3: Existing Alley Conditions
The subject alley has not been usable for more than 20 years and effectively exists only on paper. As
discussed above the alley segment has been used as a driveway for the property at 2167 South 800 East.
There is no access for pedestrians or vehicles, and at 7.3 feet wide, is too narrow for vehicles if it were open.
A fence at the rear of the 2167 South 800 East property, and a second fence approximately 70 feet beyond
the east block access to the alley. Much of the remaining alley to the east is not used, except for three
properties close to 900 East that use it for garage access.
Condition 4: Future Public Use of the Alley
Future beneficial public alley uses are frequently discussed when considering alley vacations. Such
potential uses include active transportation, access to garages and/or accessory dwelling units, and utility
access.
As discussed above, the subject alley has not been functional for more than 20 years. Wilmington and
Commonwealth Avenues are located nearby that allow east/west vehicle and pedestrian traffic, as well as
the Sugar House S-Line streetcar and bike and pedestrian greenway which is approximately ½ block from
the subject alley.
Planning staff found the requested alley vacation request generally aligns with the Sugar House Master
Plan and Plan Salt Lake. They and the Planning Commission are supportive of the request.
ANALYSIS OF STANDARDS
Attachment C (pages 15-17 of the Planning Commission staff report) is an analysis of factors City Code
requires the Planning Commission to consider for alley vacations (Sections 14.52.020/.030.B Salt Lake
City Code). In addition to the information above, other factors are summarized below.
14.52.020 - 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:
Page | 4
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 on-site 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 or
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.
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.
Planning staff found the requested alley vacation complies with policy considerations A-Lack of Use, and B-
Public Safety.
A - Lack of Use. In addition to the above-mentioned fences blocking the alley, other fences and an accessory
building protrude into the alley. There are also piles of dirt that change the grade height. It is Planning’s opinion
that “establishing a public way would require substantial effort and resources with limited payoff. In addition,
this portion of the alley narrows to 7.3 feet rather than the typical 13-feet which makes it difficult to for vehicular
traffic.” (Planning Commission staff report, page 15.)
B - Public Safety. Planning also found the requested alley vacation is consistent with the Public Safety
consideration. There have been reported criminal issues and camping along the alley. Planning staff saw
evidence of this during a site visit.
14.52.030.B - A positive recommendation from the Planning Commission to the City Council should include an
analysis of the following factors:

Department, Transportation

departments and divisions have no reasonable objection to the proposed disposition of the
property;

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

density residential use" shall mean properties which are zoned for single-family, duplex or twin
home residential uses.

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)

2167 S. 800 E. – Alley Vacation Request
STAFF CONTACT: Diana Martinez, Principal Planner
(801) 535-7215 or diana.martinez@slcgov.com
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council follow the recommendations of the Planning
Commission to approve the alley vacation request.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Denise Vance, the property owner of 815 E. Wilmington
Avenue, is requesting an alley vacation for a 7.3-foot by 156.75-foot portion of the alley that
runs west to east within the block north of Wilmington Avenue. The alley is located between 800
East and 900 East. The property abutting this alley is zoned R-1/5,000 (Single-Family
Residential District) and is located within Council District 7, represented by Amy Fowler.
The application request for a partial alley vacation must meet one of four policy considerations
to be considered by the City. This application meets the first policy consideration: Lack of Use.
The portion requested to be vacated has been used as a driveway for the dwelling at 2167 S. 800
E. for over two decades. It is not passable for pedestrians or bicyclist, since it has been gated by
residents and therefore, it renders that section unusable as a public right-of-way.

RE: Alley Vacation Located North of 827 East Wilmington Avenue
PLNPCM2023-000225
BRIEFING UPDATE
During the briefing, asked about encroachments to the alley and potentially restoring it to function as
pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicular use. Planning staff stated significant work would be required by the City
to make the alley passable again. In addition, fences and other encroachments on the alley would need to
be moved by the property owners. Planning staff also stated that all abutting property owners signed the
alley vacation petitioner.
The petitioner addressed the Council and noted the S-Line pedestrian and cycling path is approximately ½
block to the south of the subject alley.
The following information was provided for the September 12, 2023 Council briefing
and public hearing. It is included again for background purposes.
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to vacate an approximately 119 foot by 17.3-foot east/west
alley segment adjacent to the properties at 825, 827, and 829 East Wilmington Avenue (~2170 South), and
820, 826, and 830 East Elm Avenue (~2150 South) in Council District Seven as shown in the image below.
A segment of the alley between 800 East and the western edge of this alley segment is the subject of a
separate alley vacation petition being processed at the same time. The remaining section of alley continues
to 900 East and is not included in either current alley vacation request. This alley is located approximately
½ block north of the S-Line streetcar and bike and pedestrian greenway.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: September 12, 2023
Set Date: September 19, 2023
Public Hearing: October 17, 2023
Potential Action: November 7, 2023
Page | 2
The subject alley segment was blocked by a fence behind the petitioner’s property at 827 East Wilmington
Avenue which has been removed. Fences and structures at other abutting properties partially block the
alley. This along with grade changes in the alley makes it impassable by vehicles. It is worth noting that
some properties closer to 900 East (not part of either current alley vacation request) use that alley segment
for garage access. Vehicle access to those properties would not be impacted if the current alley vacation
request(s) are approved by the City Council.
Section 14.52.040 Salt Lake City Code outlines the method of disposition of alley property if a petition is
approved by the City Council. If abutting properties are zoned for low density residential use, as in this
case, the alley is merely vacated, divided in half and the owners are not charged.
When a vacated alley is on the boundary of two subdivisions, title to the entire alley width goes to abutting
property owners within the subdivision from which it was created. A portion of the subject alley was
created from the subdivision in which the Wilmington Avenue properties are located. Another portion was
dedicated from previous property owners on Elm Avenue to the Town of Forest Dale (which was later
absorbed into Salt Lake City). Property owners on Elm Avenue are not in a subdivision. Planning staff
asked the City Attorney’s Office how the alley property would be divided, and it was determined the alley
would be divided between abutting Wilmington Avenue and Elm Avenue property owners should the City
Council adopt the alley vacation ordinance.

(The abutting alley vacation request is highlighted in yellow.)

During City department and division review of the alley vacation petition, the Engineering Division stated
it is generally opposed to vacating public ways. No other responding department or division objected to the
proposed alley vacation.
Page | 3
The Planning Commission reviewed this petition during its June 28, 2o23 meeting and held a public
hearing at which no one spoke. The Commission followed Planning staff’s recommendation and voted 5-2
to forward a positive recommendation to the Council for the proposed alley vacation. Commissioners who
were opposed noted contrary to City preference the entire alley isn’t being vacated, encroachments into the
alley should not be used as justification for lack of use, and vacating would restrict residents’ future use of
the alley.
Goal of the briefing: To review the proposed alley closure, address questions Council Members may
have and prepare for a public hearing.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. Does the Council support the Planning Commission’s recommendation to close this alley?
2. If approved, is the Council supportive of dividing the alley property between abutting residents on
Wilmington and Elm Avenues?
ADDITONAL INFORMATION
Alley vacation requests receive three phases of review, as outlined in section 14.52.030 Salt Lake City Code
(see pages 6-7 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.
Planning staff identified three key considerations connected to this alley vacation. A short description of
each issue is provided below for reference. Please see pages 5-6 of the Planning Commission staff report for
full analysis of these issues.
Condition 1: Property Owner Consent
Section 14.52.030.A.1 Salt Lake City Code requires a minimum of 75% of abutting property owners sign a
petition to vacate a City owned alley. All six abutting property owners abutting this section of the alley
signed the petition.
Condition 2: Policy Considerations
Planning staff found the requested alley vacation satisfies policy consideration A-Lack of Use as outlined in
Section 14.52.020 Salt Lake City Code and discussed in the analysis of standards section below.
Condition 3: Master Plan Considerations
The Sugar House Master Plan and Plan Salt Lake both support alleyways as contributors to connectivity
and the pedestrian orientation in established neighborhoods. However, abutting property owners
frequently seek to vacate alleys due to lack of maintenance, access issues, and undesirable activities in the
alleys.
Planning staff found the requested alley vacation request generally aligns with the Sugar House Master
Plan and Plan Salt Lake. They and the Planning Commission are supportive of the request.
ANALYSIS OF STANDARDS
Attachment C (pages 11-13 of the Planning Commission staff report) is an analysis of factors City Code
requires the Planning Commission to consider for alley vacations (Sections 14.52.020/.030.B Salt Lake
City Code). In addition to the information above, other factors are summarized below.
Page | 4
14.52.020 - 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 on-site 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 or
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.
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.
Planning staff found the requested alley vacation complies with policy considerations A-Lack of Use.
A - Lack of Use. It is Planning’s opinion that “the alley has not been used as a public right of way for a long time,
and significant encroachments now make it impassable to vehicles and pedestrians. Establishing the right-of-
way under existing conditions would require substantial effort and resources with limited payoff” (Planning
Commission staff report, page 11.)
14.52.030.B - A positive recommendation from the Planning Commission to the City Council should include an
analysis of the following factors:

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

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

density residential use" shall mean properties which are zoned for single-family, duplex or twin
home residential uses.

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)

Approximate location -north of 827 S. Wilmington Ave. - Alley Vacation Request
STAFF CONTACT: Diana Martinez, Senior Planner
(801) 535-7215 or diana.martinez@slcgov.com
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council follows the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to approve the Alley Vacation request.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Russell Bollow is requesting approval for an alley vacation,
located north of 827 E. Wilmington Ave, to vacate (or to give up public ownership of) a portion
of a public alley approximately 17.3 feet by 119 feet, starting at a point 156.75 ft from 800 East.
If approved, this section of the alley would be divided and given to the property owners abutting
the area of the alley vacated.
This requested portion of the alley being asked for vacation is an extension of a portion requested
to be vacated in a prior application -PLNPCM2022-00802 (shown in yellow in the aerial below).
The previous application came before the Planning Commission on February 8th, 2023, and a
favorable recommendation to be sent to the City Council was voted on 10-1.
This new portion, being requested to be vacated, has been blocked with a fence at the backside of
the applicant’s property, is not used as a public right-of-way, and is impassable to travel.
