1. Amendments to Incentivize Homeownership
a. Type A Incentives (single family zoning)
•50% of units shall be affordable to those with incomes at or below 100% AMI
•If an existing structure is preserved, 25% of units shall be affordable to those with
incomes at or below 100% AMI
b. Type B and C Incentives (mid/high density)
•10% of units shall be affordable to those with incomes at or below 80% AMI
•5% of units shall be affordable to those with incomes at or below 60% AMI

Page | 2
3. Application Tracking
a. Specific information required for an application is outlined to improve the ability of the
Administration to track the application through the process.
b. Include a point that provides room to request any other information necessary to
demonstrate compliance.
Another straw poll failed that would have removed three and four-unit structures from the permitted type
of housing allowed in the single-family zones.
Council Members decided to put this item on the November 14 agenda for further discussion. The focus of
that discussion will be on enforcement, staffing and potential legislative actions.
For quick access to the enforcement and reporting & auditing sections of the ordinance, staff has attached
the legislative version of the ordinance to memo. See Attachment A.
•The enforcement section of the code is found in 21A.52.050.E. Page 17.
•The reporting and auditing section is found in 21A.52.050.D. Pages 15-17.
The following information was provided for the November 7 briefing. It is provided again
for background purposes.
NOVEMBER 7 INFORMATION
During the October 10 work session, the Council had the opportunity to raise questions about the
Affordable Housing Incentives plan. Planning staff has provided responses to the questions raised at that
time. Please see Attachment A to review the questions and responses.
Changes to the Ordinances
During the previous briefings, Council Members supported making specific changes to the ordinance
pertaining to incentives for homeownership and additional building height. Additionally, a change was
made that would help the Administration better track applications. If the Council supports the following
changes they will be added to the final draft.
•Home Ownership
▪Affordable homeownership units shall meet a minimum of at least one of the
affordability criteria identified. Any fractional number of units required shall be
rounded up to the nearest whole number.
•10% of units are restricted as affordable to those with an income at or below
80% AMI; or
•5% of units are restricted as affordable to those with an income at or below
60% AMI
•Additional Building Height
o Building height for additional stories is defined as “not exceeding 12 ft.”
o Tables were updated to reflect the updated maximum height for additional stories.
•Application Tracking (page 14)
o Specific information required for an application is outlined to improve the ability of the
Administration to track the application through the process.
Page | 3
Potential Follow up Questions
1. Does the Council support the changes to the draft ordinance pertaining to homeownership,
additional building height and application tracking?
2. Does the Council wish to initiate a request for the administration to complete a study to justify a fee
for the AHI program?
a. Does the Council have concerns that a fee would potentially discourage the construction of
affordable housing units?
3. Does the Council want to consider a delayed implementation for the AHI ordinance?
a. Planning staff indicates this could be helpful in order to give the Administration time to get
the permitting system set up with new requirements. This could also be helpful to get the
tracking system up and running or to phase in the ordinance if that is desired.
4. Does the Council wish to include any of the requirements from the Landlord Tenant Program as
part of the AHI program?
5. Does the Council with to discuss owner occupied requirements with the Administration?
a. Admin staff responded they feel owner occupied requirements would reduce interest from
property owners to participate in the AHI program.
6. Does the Council wish to discuss with the Administration the Legislative Action to study of single-
family zones and its potential impact on the AHI ordinance?
7. Does the Council wish to ask the Administration to add annual reporting requirements to the
ordinance (number of units built, number affordable, homeownership, etc.)?
Legislative Action
During some of the briefings Council Member Wharton expressed concerns about perceived
ambiguousness of city code when it comes to enforcing and limiting the impact on construction on adjacent
properties. Council Members expressed general support for initiating a legislative action that would
request the Administration provide recommendations to the City Council to clarify the city code.
Staff will have a motion ready for consideration at time of potential adoption of the AHI ordinance.
The following information was provided for the October 17 briefing. It is provided again
for background purposes.
October 17 Work Session Information
The Council held a follow-up discussion about the Affordable Housing Incentive proposal on October 10.
During the discussion, Council Members raised questions about the proposal. Questions included topics
such as long-term enforcement and administration of the program, community concerns about
neighborhood character, and ways this proposal intends to address the affordable housing crisis.
Page | 4
The Mayor’s Administration will work on responding to these questions in the next several weeks. Council
staff will add this list of questions to the public packets as soon as it is finalized. A follow-up briefing will be
held to discuss the responses and to determine if any changes will be made to the plan.
The public hearing is scheduled for October 17.
The following information was provided for the October 10 briefing. It is provided again
for background purposes.
The Council held a follow up briefing on both the Affordable Housing Incentives proposal and the Thriving
in Place draft plan during the October 3 work session briefing.
The Council decided to hold another work session to give more time to publicly identify any questions and
follow-up items. The goal of the briefing will be for Council Members to share requests, and then allow
time for Planning to respond and incorporate potential changes before returning for a follow-up briefing in
the coming weeks.
Council staff and the Administration will track the list, including items raised during the October 3rd
briefing, and get written responses to each question/concern for a future briefing.
The following information was provided for the October 3 briefing. It is provided again for
background purposes.
NEW INFORMATION
During the September 19 work session, the Council held a briefing on the Affordable Housing Incentives
zoning amendment petition. Based on that discussion, several questions were raised, and Council staff is
working with the Administration to get responses to those questions.
A follow up briefing will be held on October 3 in conjunction with a briefing on the Thriving In Place (TIP)
plan. The TIP plan identifies the Affordable Housing Incentives as a priority for implementation and notes
funding for new staff will be needed.
As part of the discussion on Affordable Housing Incentives, the Council may wish to consider discussing
some of the policy questions outlined below.
1. Drafting Administrative Policies and Procedures
•During the work session briefing Planning staff mentioned it would take some time to get
guidelines and procedures in place to administer the program. Council staff asked for
clarification because there was some confusion if that meant design guidelines for the
appearance of structures needed to be created.
Planning staff clarified they need to create the administrative procedures that outline the
process administrative staff will follow to move an application through the process.
2. Design Guidelines
•Some questions were raised about how buildings constructed according to the Affordable
Housing Incentives would be compatible with neighborhoods and existing development.
Page | 5
The draft ordinance notes that base zoning standards apply unless they are specifically
modified by this section. However, if there are conflicts with design standards, the more
restrictive regulation applies and takes precedence.
According to the draft ordinance, the “development regulations are intended to provide
supplemental regulations and modify standards of the base zoning district for the purpose
of making the Affordable Housing Incentives more feasible and compatible with existing
development.” (21A.52.H – Development regulations)
There are design standards that apply to rowhouses, sideways rowhouses, cottages as well
as for the new housing types in single- and two-family zoning districts. 21A.52.H, 1-3 –
Development regulations.
3. Staffing Adjustments
•Administrative staff said they will be able to initially absorb the anticipated workload that
creating and administering this program will require. However, they anticipate they will
likely come to the Council in future budgets to request additional staff once the program is
up and running.
4. Potential Program Participation Fee
•At this time Administration has not proposed to include a fee for the program that will help
cover the costs of administering it. However, they noted it is likely a fee can be justified.
o Does the Council wish to put in a place holder in the ordinance that anticipates
the Administration will return to the Council with a request to put a fee in the City
Code?
5. Good Landlord Requirements
•Council staff is working with Attorney’s and Planning staff to find out if requirements
outlined in the good landlord program can be included as a requirement as part of
participation in the Affordable Housing Incentives program.
6. Impact Fee Waiver
•Council staff is working with the Attorney’s Office to find out if impact fees can be waived
for affordable units that are constructed are part of this program.
7. Licensing Requirements for Apartments with Three or Fewer Units
•Staff is working with Attorney’s and Planning staff to confirm if apartment complexes with
three or fewer units are required to have a business license and be part of the good landlord
program
8. Enforcing fines and compliance with code
•Questions have been raised about how the City enforces fines that are levied to bring
properties into compliance with City Code. Some questions have been raised about the
effectiveness of fines and when the City decides to settle with property owners at levels
much lower than their accrued amount.
•Council staff is working with the Attorney’s Office to get a response to this question. At the
time this staff report was drafted, a response was not yet ready. Staff will update the
Council once a response is ready.
Page | 6
9. Administering and Enforcement
Administering and enforcement of the program was discussed. Planning staff outlined the key
provisions related to the enforcement plan: 21A.52.D, E and F
•Reporting and Auditing
o Property owners must submit an annual report to the Director of CAN by April 30
of each year, demonstrating compliance with the ordinance
o That report includes:
1. Property location, tax ID and legal description
2. Property owner name, mailing and email addresses,
3. Information on the dwelling units and tenants receiving incentives includes:
a. total number of dwelling units
b. number of bedrooms for each unit
c. rental rate of each unit
d. identify dwelling units that comply with level of affordability
identified in the approval process and statement that units are in
compliance
e. identify change in occupancy to the units, include number of people
residing in each unit and change in tenant (Personal data is not
required)
f. confirm verification for all tenants was performed on annual basis
g. identify differences in rent between agreed upon rental rate and
actual rent received
h. identify instances where an affordable unit was no longer rented at
the agreed upon level of affordability, length of time it was not in
compliance and remedy taken to address noncompliance
o The CAN director has 30 days to provide written notice to property owners
whether they are in compliance or not.
o In situations of noncompliance, a property owner has 30 days to come into
compliance. If they are unable to do so, they will start paying the fine.
•Enforcement
o Violations of the restrictive covenant will be investigated and prosecuted
1. A lien may be placed on the property
2. A business license may be revoked
•Eligibility
o Property owner must enter into a legally binding restrictive covenant which must
be filed with the Salt Lake County Recorder
o Notice of sale shall be provided to the City and the City shall have right of first
refusal to any sale of the property.
o Affordable units shall be both income and rent/housing payment restricted
o Affordable units must be comparable to market rate units within the development
10. Delayed Adoption for Portions of the Affordable Housing Incentives Amendment
Page | 7
Some have asked about the possibility of dividing the Affordable Housing Incentives into separate
pieces for adoption. The first piece would be to adopt the RMF/mixed use/institutional zoning
initiatives. Then the second would be to adopt changes to the single-family zoning districts.
11. Institutional Zone Amendments
There were some questions about what incentives apply to the Institutional zoning district.
According to the draft ordinance, housing would be allowed on institutional zoned land. These
would include row houses, sideways row houses, cottage developments
Additionally, the Institutional zoning district will follow the affordability requirements as outlined
in table 21 A.52.050.G (see page 7 below)
Affordable rental or homeownership units shall meet a minimum of at least one of the
affordability criteria identified. Any fractional number of units required shall be rounded up to
the nearest whole number.
1. 20% of units are restricted as affordable to those with an income at or below 80% AMI;
2. 10% of units are restricted as affordable to those with an income at or below 60% AMI;
3. 10% of units are restricted as affordable to those with an average income at or below
60% AMI and these units shall not be occupied by those with an income greater than
80% AMI;
4. 5% of units are restricted as affordable to those with an income at or below 30% AMI;
5. 10% of units are restricted as affordable to those with an income at or below 80% AMI
when the affordable units have two or more bedrooms;
6. 5% of units are restricted as affordable to those with an income at or below 60% AMI
when the affordable units have two or more bedrooms; or
5% of the units are restricted as affordable to those with an income at or below 80%
AMI when the affordable units have three or more bedrooms.
The following information was provided for the September 19 briefing. It is provided again
for background purposes.
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will receive a briefing about an ordinance that would amend various sections of the City zoning
ordinance by establishing Affordable Housing Incentives (AHI). The proposed amendments would allow
the following if requirements for affordable units are met in order to streamline and encourage more units
to be built in the City at an affordable rate. See more details on each of these changes starting at
the end of page 2, and chart on page 3 to see the level/quantity of affordability required for
each:
• Permit administrative design review and additional building height between 1-3 stories, depending
on the zone, in various zoning districts that permit multifamily housing.
• Remove the Planned Development requirement for specific modifications and for development in
the CS (Community Shopping) zoning districts.
• Permit an additional story in the TSA Transition zoning districts and two stories in the TSA Core
zoning districts.
• Allow additional housing types in the CG (General Commercial), CC (Community Commercial), and
CB (Community Business) zoning districts.
• Allow housing on Institutional zoned land.
• Remove the density requirements in the RMF (Residential Multi Family) zoning districts.
• On properties currently zoned for single- or two-family homes:
o Allow townhomes and housing structures that contain up to 4-unit buildings,
Page | 8
o a second detached dwelling when an existing dwelling is maintained;
o cottage developments;
o Allow twin and two-family homes in these zoning districts where they are not currently
allowed.
The proposal was initially envisioned as an overlay. However, since the incentives are different for various
zoning districts, the proposal was changed to a specific section of the zoning ordinance, 21A.52 Zoning
Incentives. The Affordable Housing Incentives is proposed to be the first section of this new chapter of the
zoning ordinance.
The Planning Commission held public hearings and forwarded a positive recommendation to the City
Council. Additionally, the Planning Commission added a condition that if adopted by the City Council, the
incentives plan should be analyzed 24 months after approval, to include a report of the cost and benefits of
the changes.
Staff note on public notice/engagement: Because of the City-wide breadth and potential impact of
this topic, along with the context of the City-wide anti-gentrification study, the Council authorized the
mailing of a postcard City-wide, to all residents and property owners, with direction to go to the
Council’s main website on the affordable housing topic, that includes information on these issues and
others, at tinyurl.com/SLCHousingProposals
POLICY QUESTIONS
•Reporting and Enforcement Related Questions
o Reporting Requirements – annual reporting and auditing will be a key component of the
plan to ensure property owners and builders who use the incentives keep the units at
affordable levels.
▪Will the proposed fine structure be enough to ensure compliance by property
owners?
▪The Council could consider requiring a biannual report on the affordability
compliance of the program.
o Option for the City to contract with another entity to administer the program
▪Would the third party be responsible for enforcement?
▪What type of entity might be interested in administering the program?
o Will properties that are part of the program be required to get a business license and
participate in the Good Landlord Program?
o Is there a plan in place to link up the affordable housing with income-restricted individuals,
or would the City service as a central resource to connect individuals with housing?
•Staffing/Guidelines Questions
o The Planning Commission staff report noted additional staff will be needed to administer
the program. The Council may wish to ask the Administration when and how they will
propose funding this additional staffing, how many FTEs would be needed, and the
anticipated timeline to onboard and train those FTEs?
o Because this ordinance would go into effect prior to the next budget amendment, is existing
staff sufficient to accept any applications that may come in prior to the next budget and
ensure compliance with design and affordability objectives?
o Is there a possibility this ordinance will go into effect before design guidelines are
developed/approved? Would funding be needed to develop those design guidelines? Will
the development of the design guidelines be an administrative process, or will they be
approved by the Planning Commission?
o Does the Administration plan to promote this program to the general public to notify them
of the program and potential benefits?
Page | 9
o How long might it take for the City to get the necessary affordability and design review
structures in place?
•Thriving in Place Plan Objectives and Community feedback
o The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration whether there are alternative
ways to achieve the goals of this proposal (see page 5).
o Given the significant community feedback received to date, the Council may wish to discuss
concerns that have been noted by some neighborhoods about the potential for these
incentives to result in the demolition of existing housing stock, including existing naturally
occurring affordable housing.
o The purpose statement of the affordable housing incentives notes design is key to the
success of the proposal: Housing constructed using the incentives is intended to be
compatible in form with the neighborhood and provide for safe and comfortable places to
live and play. Does the Council wish to ask the administration to discuss how design
guidelines will be able to help implement this vision?
o Based on concerns expressed by some residents, the Council may wish to discuss the
benefit of additional housing units with the potential for additional traffic in areas where
transit is not readily available.
o Based on recent discussion about the lack of family-sized housing with much of the new
construction in the city, the Council may wish to discuss if this incentive program has ways
to provide more family- sized affordable housing.
SUMMARY OF INCENTIVES
Pages 3-6 of the Planning Commission staff report outline key changes of the proposed amendment. The
list below, from Attachment B Summary of Incentives, is a high-level summary of the key changes, based
on the type of zoning district.
•Multi-family and Mixed-Use Zoning Districts
o Permit additional height, between 1-3 stories (approximately 10’ per story), depending on
the zone in various zoning districts that currently permit multifamily housing.
•Residential Multifamily Zoning Districts
o Remove the density requirements in the RMF zoning districts,
o No additional height permitted.
o Only 25% of the units could be 500 square feet or smaller.
o Add development and design standards for rowhouses, sideways rowhouses, cottages, and
other building forms.
•Single- and Two-family Zoning Districts
o Allow additional building types in single- and two-family zoning districts, provided 1-2 of
the units would be affordable.
o Allow townhouses in groups of up to four, 3–4-unit buildings, and cottage developments on
parcels that are currently zoned for single- or two-family homes.
o Twin and two-family homes would be permitted in the zoning districts where they are not
currently allowed.
o Add development and design standards for these dwellings.
•Other Incentives
o Waive the Planned Development process for some proposals
Page | 10
o Allow single-family and single-family attached housing on Institutional zoned land. Future
zoning amendments may be considered to allow multifamily housing.
o Allow additional housing types in the CG (General Commercial), CC (Community
Commercial), and CB (Community Business) zoning districts to encourage the
redevelopment of underutilized commercial land. These districts currently permit
multifamily housing, but not single-family dwellings, including single-family attached
units, or cottages.
•Affordability requirements - Planning staff worked with developers to come up with a model that
would provide sufficient return on development to incentivize the development of affordable units
in various projects. Table 21A.52.050.G of the ordinance outlines the recommendation based on
that analysis. Attachment G of the Planning Commission staff report includes a summary of the
proforma and scenario analyses.
See the table on the next page.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Pages 2-3 of the transmittal summarize outreach efforts Planning conducted to get feedback from the
community on the proposed change.
Outreach efforts included: online surveys, developer discussion, recognized community organization
outreach, and open houses, both in person and online. The Historic Landmark Commission and Planning
Commission both reviewed the proposed changes. The Planning Commission held public hearings in May
2022 and March 2023.
Additionally, in the fall and winter of 2022/2023 the Mayor convened a focus group that included 15-20
members of the community, including neighborhood leaders, developers, policy advisors, and housing
advocates. The group reviewed and discussed topics with the most community concerns over four meetings
in the fall and winter of 2022.
Based on the focus group’s recommendations, changes were made to the final draft. Their recommended
changes to the proposal are detailed in the Planning staff’s report and highlighted on pages 7-9 of
Attachment A – Updated Affordable Housing Incentives March 2023 to this memo.
As noted above, the Council also authorized a City-wide postcard to notify residents and property owners
about this proposal as well as the City-wide anti-gentrification plan.
KEY ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL
The Affordable Housing Incentives amendments are intended to encourage the development, construction,
and preservation of housing in the city through a variety of methods, including allowing for additional
height, reducing parking requirements, allowing additional housing types, and providing planning process
waivers or modifications.
Purpose
The purpose statement of the Affordable Housing Incentives section reads as follows:
To encourage the development of affordable housing. The provisions within this section facilitate
the construction of affordable housing by allowing more inclusive development than would
Page | 12
otherwise be permitted in the base zoning districts. Housing constructed using the incentives is
intended to be compatible in form with the neighborhood and provide for safe and comfortable
places to live and play.
There are two primary goals of the Affordable Housing Incentives:
1. Help public and private dollars that go into building affordable housing create more housing units.
2. Create additional opportunities for property owners to provide new, affordable housing units.
(April 26, 2023, Planning Commission Staff Report, Page 2)
Affordable Housing Definition
The draft ordinance provides the following definition for affordable housing:
Shall be both income and, as applicable, rent restricted. The affordable units shall be made available
only to individuals and households that are qualifying occupants at or below the applicable
percentage of the area median income for the Salt Lake City Utah, U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (“HUD”) Metro FMR Area the “SLC Area Median Income” or “AMI”, as
periodically determined by HUD and adjusted for household size) and published by the Utah Housing
Corporation, or its successor. Affordable housing units must accommodate (30% of gross income for
housing costs, including utilities) at least one of the following categories:
a.Extremely Low-Income Affordable Units: Housing units accommodating up to 30% AMI;
b.Very Low-Income Affordable Units: Housing units accommodating up to greater than 30% and
up to 50% AMI; or
c.Low-Income Affordable Units: Housing units accommodating greater than 50% and up to 80%
AMI
Preservation of Existing Housing
The Affordable Housing Incentives adds provisions to encourage preservation of existing housing. This
includes allowing a second, detached dwelling on a property when the existing dwelling is maintained.
Key Concepts Discussed with the Planning Commission
Pages 2-3 of the transmittal letter outline the key considerations of the draft amendments discussed with
the Planning Commission. A short summary is provided below. See pages 7-14 for full analysis.
1.Implementation of city goals and policies identified in adopted plans
a. Planning staff found the proposed amendments are consistent with principles and polices
of Plan Salt Lake and Growing SLC
2.Affordability level and percentage of units
a. See chart on page 3 above.
3.Neighborhood Impacts
The focus group discussed several mitigation options based on comments from the Planning
Commission and the public and came to a consensus on the following recommendations:
•The removal of the proximity to transit and adjacency to arterial roads requirement for
additional housing types in the single- and two-family zoning districts.
•Emphasis on the preservation of existing housing
•Additional design standards for new housing types in single- and two-family zoning
districts
4.Administration and Enforcement
Page | 13
a. Administrative staff anticipates additional staff will be needed to administer the program
based on the number of projects that use the affordable housing incentive program.
b. Language is included in the draft ordinance that would enable the City to contract with a
third party for administration on the incentives.
c. Language on reporting, compliance, and enforcement are included in the ordinance. The
properties using the AHI would be required to submit an annual report, and a restrictive
covenant would be placed on the property.
5.Infrastructure impacts
a. If a water, sewer, or storm drain line does not have adequate capacity for new housing
units, a developer is required to increase the capacity. This is handled during the building
permit process.
b. Planning staff also worked with Public Utilities to determine the impact this proposal may
have on water supply and demand in the city. Public Utilities provided scenarios for
different types of potential development that would result from the proposed changes.
i. Average usage for single-family residential dwellings is between 12,000-15,000
gallons per month.
1. Much of this is for outdoor watering and in the winter water usage is
approximately 6,500-7,000 gallons per month.
ii. A sampling of high-rise and wood frame construction with a total of about 725 units
averaged water usage of approximately 2,000 gallons per month, per unit.
iii. Two fourplexes and a cottage court (10 units) averaged approximately 3,000 gallons
per month, per unit.

1. Lien on Property. If the property owner fails to make payment of the outstanding
fines, then after 90 days or when fines reach $5,000, the division will issue a
statement of outstanding fines. If the property owner fails to make payment within
14 days, then the division may certify the fines set forth in the statement to the Salt
Lake County Treasurer. After entry by the Salt Lake County Treasurer, the amount
entered shall have the force and effect of a valid judgment of the district court, is a
lien on the property, and shall be collected by the treasurer of the county in which
the property is located at the time of the payment of general taxes. Upon payment
of the amount set forth in the statement, the judgment is satisfied, the lien is
released from the property, and receipt shall be acknowledged upon the general tax
receipt issued by the treasurer.
2. Revocation of Business License. Upon a determination of the division that the
property is in violation of this Chapter the city may suspend or revoke the business
license associated with the property. Any suspension or revocation of a license
shall not be imposed until a hearing is first held before the Director of Community
and Neighborhoods or his/her successor. The licensee shall be given at least 14
days’ notice of the time and place of the hearing, together with the nature of the
charges against the licensee. The licensee may appear in person or through an
officer, agent or attorney, to introduce evidence on the licensee’s behalf, and to
confront and cross-examine witnesses. The Director of Community and
Neighborhoods shall make a decision based upon the evidence introduced at the
hearing and issue a written decision. The licensee may appeal to an appeals
hearing officer and thereafter to district court pursuant to 21A.16. If the license is
revoked or suspended it shall thereafter be unlawful for any person to engage in or
use, or permit to be used any property for any business with respect to which the
license has been suspended or revoked until a license shall be granted upon appeal
or due to the property’s compliance with this Chapter. No person whose license
has been revoked, and no person associated or connected with such person in the
conduct of such business, shall be granted a license for the same purpose for a
period of six months after the revocation has occurred. The Director may, for good
cause, waive the prohibition against persons formerly associated or connected with
an individual who has had a license revoked.

DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council amend the text of the zoning ordinance as
recommended by the Planning Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None. However, implementation of the amendments may require
additional staff and resources.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Former Mayor Jackie Biskupski initiated the text amendment
in 2019. The Affordable Housing Incentives (AHI) are proposed for the city’s zoning code to
incentivize and reduce barriers for affordable housing. The proposed amendments include the
following if requirements for affordable units are met:
• Permit administrative design review and additional building height between 1-3 stories,
depending on the zone, in various zoning districts that permit multifamily housing.
• Remove the Planned Development requirement for specific modifications and for
development in the CS zoning districts.
• Permit an additional story in the TSA Transition zoning districts and two stories in the TSA
Core zoning districts.

• Allow additional housing types in the CG (General Commercial), CC (Community
Commercial), and CB (Community Business) zoning districts.
• Allow housing on Institutional zoned land.
• Remove the density requirements in the RMF zoning districts.
• Allow townhouses, 3-4 unit buildings, a second detached dwelling when an existing
dwelling is maintained, and cottage developments on properties that are currently zoned
for single- or two-family homes. Permit twin and two-family homes in these zoning
districts where they are not currently allowed.
The project was initiated in 2019 to address increasing concerns regarding housing affordability
and to implement Growing SLC. Initial outreach on the proposal included an online survey in late
2019/early 2020. From the initial survey results, staff developed a draft framework for the AHI
that serves as the basis for the current proposal. Staff requested additional feedback from the
community in a survey on the draft framework. Based on this feedback, developed draft the initial
AHI text amendments. Staff presented these initial draft amendments to the community in the
spring of 2022 and to the Planning Commission and public at a hearing in May 2022.
Following the hearing, staff worked with developers and a focus group convened by the Office of
the Mayor to address and revise the draft based on the issues raised. The revisions also incorporate
changes from the now adopted RMF-30 and pending Downtown Building Heights text
amendments. Staff presented a revised draft to the Planning Commission for discussion on March
22, 2023 and March 29, 2023. The Historic Landmark Commission held a work session on April
6, 2023. The Planning Commission held a public hearing and made a recommendation to the City
Council on April 26, 2023. The Planning Commission added a condition that the incentives be
analyzed 24 months after approval with a full report of the costs and benefits of the implementation
to the Planning Commission.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
The following is a list of public meetings that have been held, and other public input
opportunities, related to the proposed project since the application was initiated:
Online Surveys and Comment Form:

Developer Discussions: Planning staff met with several affordable housing developers in 2019 to
discuss issues and obstacles to building affordable housing in the community and how zoning may
be able to address them. Developers generally indicated that by right processes were best, there
should be parking reductions especially for lowest incomes, density limits made development
difficult in the RMF districts, additional height was needed in many zoning districts, and there was
a preference for form-based zoning districts.
Staff requested feedback from developers on the draft proposal and generally heard that the
incentives would allow them to construct more units and that the incentives in the single-family
zoning districts may encourage smaller developers to construct units.

receipt issued by the treasurer.
2. Revocation of Business License. Upon a determination of the division that the
property is in violation of this Chapter the city may suspend or revoke the business
license associated with the property. Any suspension or revocation of a license
shall not be imposed until a hearing is first held before the Director of Community
and Neighborhoods or his/her successor. The licensee shall be given at least 14
days’ notice of the time and place of the hearing, together with the nature of the
charges against the licensee. The licensee may appear in person or through an
officer, agent or attorney, to introduce evidence on the licensee’s behalf, and to
confront and cross-examine witnesses. The Director of Community and
Neighborhoods shall make a decision based upon the evidence introduced at the
hearing and issue a written decision. The licensee may appeal to an appeals
hearing officer and thereafter to district court pursuant to 21A.16. If the license is
revoked or suspended it shall thereafter be unlawful for any person to engage in or
use, or permit to be used any property for any business with respect to which the
license has been suspended or revoked until a license shall be granted upon appeal
or due to the property’s compliance with this Chapter. No person whose license
has been revoked, and no person associated or connected with such person in the
conduct of such business, shall be granted a license for the same purpose for a
period of six months after the revocation has occurred. The Director may, for good
cause, waive the prohibition against persons formerly associated or connected with
an individual who has had a license revoked.
F.Eligibility Standards: Developments shall meet the criteria below to be eligible for
the authorized incentives:

1. Lien on Property. If the property owner fails to make payment of the outstanding
fines, then after 90 days or when fines reach $5,000, the division will issue a
statement of outstanding fines. If the property owner fails to make payment within
14 days, then the division may certify the fines set forth in the statement to the Salt
Lake County Treasurer. After entry by the Salt Lake County Treasurer, the amount
entered shall have the force and effect of a valid judgment of the district court, is a
lien on the property, and shall be collected by the treasurer of the county in which
the property is located at the time of the payment of general taxes. Upon payment
of the amount set forth in the statement, the judgment is satisfied, the lien is
released from the property, and receipt shall be acknowledged upon the general tax
receipt issued by the treasurer.
2. Revocation of Business License. Upon a determination of the division that the
property is in violation of this Chapter the city may suspend or revoke the business
license associated with the property. Any suspension or revocation of a license
shall not be imposed until a hearing is first held before the Director of Community
and Neighborhoods or his/her successor. The licensee shall be given at least 14
days’ notice of the time and place of the hearing, together with the nature of the
charges against the licensee. The licensee may appear in person or through an
officer, agent or attorney, to introduce evidence on the licensee’s behalf, and to
confront and cross-examine witnesses. The Director of Community and
Neighborhoods shall make a decision based upon the evidence introduced at the
hearing and issue a written decision. The licensee may appeal to an appeals
hearing officer and thereafter to district court pursuant to 21A.16. If the license is
revoked or suspended it shall thereafter be unlawful for any person to engage in or
use, or permit to be used any property for any business with respect to which the
license has been suspended or revoked until a license shall be granted upon appeal
or due to the property’s compliance with this Chapter. No person whose license
has been revoked, and no person associated or connected with such person in the
conduct of such business, shall be granted a license for the same purpose for a
period of six months after the revocation has occurred. The Director may, for good
cause, waive the prohibition against persons formerly associated or connected with
an individual who has had a license revoked.

INITIATION REQUEST
5. ADDITIONAL DEPARTMENT COMMENTS
Kristeen Beitel, Public Utilities
When weighing increased densification as an incentive for affordable housing, it is important for
applicants to consider the potential increase in construction costs resulting from required offsite
utility improvements. Densification may place greater demands on water, sewer, and storm
drain systems, which could exceed the capacity of the existing infrastructure. Property owners
and developers may be required to upgrade the offsite public utilities to ensure sufficient
capacity for the new developments.

Caution: This is an external email. Please be cautious when clicking links or opening attachments.
Hello,
I had planned to attend tonight’s planning commission digitally but learned that there is no longer a digital
attendance option and I’m at Disneyland so I can’t make it. I wanted to make sure that our support for the
Affordable Housing Incentives was formally submitted. In addition to our formal support, I would like to submit
this statement for the record:
“SLC Neighbors for More Neighbors supports the Affordable Housing Incentives, however based on
estimates in the current proposal, we are concerned that projects in single-family neighborhoods will not
be financially viability. If the city is serious about promoting the construction of more housing in high-
opportunity single-family neighborhoods, some of the current conditions that make those projects
financially unfeasible should be removed.
The Scenarios in Attachment G show that there is virtually no economic incentive for market rate
developers to pursue the AHI’s. However, it has the potential to add more affordable units on SELECT
projects that are already pursuing LIHTC’s
Especially in multi-family districts, density bonuses need to take into account building code requirements,
for example that the maximum number of stories that can be built with a wood-frame structure is five. If
the density bonus provided forces builders to use a steel-frame construction technique, the economic
benefits of an extra floor of apartments does not overcome the extra cost of using expensive construction
materials.
In addition, to make the incentives more functional, the incentives should be changed to:
1) Allow lots to be split and to allow for the sale of separate units.
2) Eliminate ALL parking requirements for projects that meet the threshold for the incentives. This would
make many projects more affordable, especially in higher density zones.
3) In multi-family districts near rail transit, the incentives in terms of FAR (floor area ratio) and height limits
should be much stronger to (a) make more projects financially viable and (b) locate more residents and
businesses near rail.
Overall, the incentives should be increased to find a broader mix of incentives that produce positive results
for market rate developers considering adding affordable units to projects.”

DATE:November 14, 2023
RE: 711 and 721 South 1200 East Zoning Map and Master Plan Amendments
PLNPCM2023-00496/00639
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for properties at 711 and 721 South
1200 East from their current R-2 (Single- and Two-Family Residential) zoning to I (Institutional). In
addition, the proposal calls for amending the Central Community Master Plan future land use
designations from Low-Density Residential to Institutional. Private K-12 schools are not a permitted use in
the existing R-2 zoning district but are in the proposed Institutional zone. The proposed amendments
would allow expansion of the McGillis School campus for classes, meetings, assemblies, and
administration.
While the properties are zoned R-2, the building on the property has been the historic Douglas Ward
Building (an Institutional use). The McGillis School is under an agreement to purchase the currently
unused church building from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In their application, the
petitioner stated an intent to repurpose the building built in 1950 for the school rather than demolish it and
construct another building. There is some urgency to the request as the agreement stipulates that the
entitlement period ends December 9, 2023. The School is requesting Council action on the rezone and
master plan amendment prior to that date.
Combined, the two parcels are approximately 0.57 acres and the historic building’s footprint is roughly
8,800 square feet. The parcels are in a residential area primarily zoned R-2 shown in the zoning map
below, with single-family homes, duplexes, and an apartment building nearby. The McGillis School’s other
building is at the corner of 1300 East and 700 South, approximately 0.2 miles away as shown in the image
below. It is anticipated that student drop off and pick-up will happen at the 1300 East building, and those
participating in classes or other activities at the 1200 East building will walk between the two. This will
reduce traffic impact to the surrounding neighborhood. There are sidewalks and a marked crosswalk

The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal during its October 25, 2023 meeting and held a public
hearing at which seven people, including a representative of the East Central Community Council, spoke.
Six of the commenters were supportive of the proposal, and one was opposed. The person who spoke
Page | 3
against the proposal cited concerns with additional foot and vehicle traffic. The Commission voted 8-0
to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council for both the zoning map and
future land use map amendments with an additional recommendation that the Council
discuss a potential development agreement or restrictive covenant limiting use of the
property to a school or similar institutional function.
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 discuss whether to include a condition recommended by the Planning
Commission that the petitioner enter into a development agreement or restrictive covenant with
the City limiting use of the property to a school or similar institutional function if the Council
adopts the proposed zoning map and master plan amendments.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property and amending the future land use map.
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 three key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 5-10 of
the Planning Commission staff report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the
staff report.
Consideration 1 – Compliance with the Standards for General Amendments
Planning staff found the proposed zoning map amendment complies with standards outlined below and
found in attachment D (pages 54-57) of the Planning Commission staff report.
Consideration 2 – Compliance with City Goals, Policies, and General Plans
It is Planning staff’s opinion that the proposals align with goals and principles found in Plan Salt Lake and
the Central Community Master Plan including:
•Maintain neighborhood stability and character.
•Preserve and enhance neighborhood and district character.
•Retain areas and structures of historic and architectural value.
•Prohibit the location or expansion of institutional facilities that displace or remove residential uses.
•Improve and strengthen relationships between institutions and residential neighborhoods.
Consideration 3 – Impact on Adjacent Property Owners
In their review of the proposals, Planning staff considered impact on adjacent property owners in three
areas: height and setbacks, parking and traffic, and land use.
Height and Setbacks
As shown in the table below, building height in the I zone is a maximum of 35 feet, with additional height
up to 75 feet through design review. For each foot above 35 feet all required yards must be increased by one
foot. This is intended to move the height toward the center of the property, and away from adjacent
properties. Planning staff found that the I zone’s height requirements and design review process will help
mitigate height impacts to adjacent properties if a future change of use is requested. It is worth noting that
the church building’s steeple has been removed.
Page | 4
Parking and Traffic
When an expansion of a zoning district is proposed, the City requires a traffic and parking study along with
the application. The McGillis School believes that using the church building as a school will not
significantly impact traffic or parking. The City Zoning Administrator reviewed the application, and
following department comments that did not include parking and traffic concerns, waived the requirement
for a study.
A building permit would be required before using the church building as a school. McGillis would also
apply for a shared or offsite parking agreement with the existing school. This can be done because the two
buildings are so close to each other. As discussed above, under the proposal student drop-off and pick-up
will continue at the existing school, and students will walk from one building to the other. Only a few
administrative parking spaces are anticipated to be needed at the subject property which can be
accommodated with existing spaces.
Land Use
Planning staff believes that use of the existing church as part of The McGillis School will allow for
compatible use while preserving the building. It is their opinion that such a use will strengthen the school’s
connections with the neighborhood.
ZONING COMPARISON
Attachment E (pages 58-61) of the Planning Commission staff report includes a comparison of existing R-2
and proposed I zoning. It is replicated here for convenience.

DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council follows the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to approve the requested Zoning Map and General Plan amendments.
BUDGET IMPACT: None.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Jim Brewer, representing the McGillis School, is requesting
a General Plan and Zoning Map Amendment for the properties located at 711 S 1200 East and
721 S 1200 East. The subject properties are the location of the Douglas Ward House, a now
vacant building formerly used as a church. McGillis School intends to purchase the properties
and use the existing building as a school. The properties are currently zoned R-2 Single and
Two-Family Residential District. Schools are not an allowed use in this zone, so the applicant is
proposing to rezone the properties to I Institutional where schools are a permitted use. The
applicant is also proposing to change the future land use designation in the Central Community
Master Plan from Low-Density Residential to Institutional to ensure consistency between the
City’s general plan and zoning.

For specific information regarding the proposal, please refer to the Planning Commission Staff
Report.
The Planning Commission discussed the petition at their October 25, 2023 meeting and held a
public hearing. The Planning Commission voted (7:0) to recommend approval of the Zoning Map
and General Plan amendment to the City Council. As part of their motion, the Planning
Commission recommended that the City Council discuss a possible development agreement or
restrictive covenant limiting the long-term use of the property to a school or similar institutional
function. The discussion focused on the possibility that the property could be sold in the future,
and then any use allowed in the Institutional zone would be allowed at this location. They stated
in the discussion that some of the uses permitted uses in the I zone could have negative impacts
on the neighborhood. The Planning Commission did not vote on a specific condition. They just
recommended that the City Council raise the issue as a discussion point. The entire public meeting
can be viewed using this link at the 1:49:00 mark.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
• The Planning Division provided a 45-day comment period notice to the East Central
Community Council who held a public meeting and input opportunities related to the
proposed project.
• Staff sent an early notification announcement of the project to all residents and
property owners living within 300 feet of the project site providing notice about the
proposal and information on how to give public input on the project on August 15
2023.
• An online open house has been posted to the Planning Division’s webpage August 15,
2023 through September 29, 2023.
• Public noticing of the Planning Commission hearing was completed on October 13,
2023.
• Public comments were received before the Planning Commission hearing and
included in the Staff Report. The public comments during the meeting were both in
support and against the rezoning amendment. The theme of the comments was what
happens if the McGillis School vacates the property in the future and impacts the
neighborhood. Some parents of students at the McGillis School fully support the
expansion of the McGillis School into the Douglas Ward Building.

PURPOSE STATEMENT
The purpose of this amendment to the Zoning Map is to permit a school on the Douglas Ward property.
Thus, we request the zoning be changed from R2 to Institutional (I). This zoning is consistent with The
McGillis School located at 668 South 1300 East and other private schools in Salt Lake City. This new
use has support from neighbors and Council Member Ana Valdemoros has offered to help The McGillis
School with this Zoning Map Amendment and Master Plan Amendment, see attached letter.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED USE OF THE PROPERTY BEING REZONED
The McGillis School currently operates a school located at 668 South 1300 East in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The McGillis School desires to acquire the Douglas Ward and use said property as an extension of their
existing school. As desired by The McGillis School, the Douglas Ward property will be used for classes,
meetings, assemblies, and administration.
LIST THE REASONS WHY THE PRESENT ZONING MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR
THE AREA
The Douglas Ward is currently zoned R-2. The McGillis School intends to use the property as an
extension of their existing school. Although schools like The McGillis School are frequently located in
residential areas, Salt Lake City Land Use Tables for permitted and conditional uses for residential
districts show that the proposed use is not a permitted use or a conditional use. Thus, it is necessary to
amend the Zoning Map and Master Plan so The McGillis School may use the building as a school.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT ACCOMPANYING
THE ZONING MAP AMENDMENT
This Master Plan Amendment is necessary to accompany the Zoning Map Amendment to permit The
McGillis School to rezone the Douglas Ward property for use as a school. The Zoning Map Amendment
requests a change from Residential (R2) to Institutional (I). This Master Plan Amendment requests a
change to the designation of the property in the "Future Land Use Map" of the plan from "Low Density
Residential" to "Institutional."
STATEMENT DECLARING AMENDMENT PURPOSE
The McGillis School currently operates a school located at 668 South 1300 East, Salt Lake City, Utah.
The McGillis School desires to acquire the Douglas Ward and use said property as an extension of their
existing school. As desired by The McGillis School, the Douglas Ward property will be preserved and
used for classes, meetings, assemblies, administration and community events.
AMENDMENT REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH GENERAL PLAN
The Douglas Ward is currently zoned R-2. The McGillis School intends to use the property as an
extension of their existing school. Although schools like The McGillis School are frequently located in
residential areas, Salt Lake City Land Use Tables for permitted and conditional uses for residential
districts shows that the proposed use is not a permitted use or a conditional use. Thus, it is necessary to
amend the Zoning Map and the Future Land Use Map so The McGillis School may use the building as a
school. This requested change is consistent with the Central Community Master Plan and will prolong
the buildings useful life.
The Central Community Master Plan “…encourages diversity of use, preservation of historic
neighborhoods and buildings, and design excellence to maintain and enhance the quality of living in the
Central Community.” The Master Plan desires to preserve and “enhance neighborhood character and
historical integrity….”
The East Central South neighborhood enjoys fairly homogeneous Low to High Density single-family
residential dwellings intermixed with Public Lands and Institutional Lands as depicted on the map below.
This Master Plan Amendment is consistent with the guiding principles of the Central Community Master
Plan. This requested change will: 1) maintain the Central Community’s historic fabric; 2) support quality
living without doing harm to citizens; and 3) preserve historic structures and residential neighborhoods.
If The McGillis School does not purchase the Douglas Ward and use the building as a school, the building
will most likely be demolished changing the historic fabric and creating undesirable impacts to the
neighborhood. Preserving the building by changing its use is far more desirable. This requested change
is consistent with Residential Land Use Policy (RLU) 1.1 which desires to preserve low-density
residential areas and keep them from being replaced by higher density residential and commercial uses.
The requested change to Institutional Land Use is also consistent with the Central Community Master
Plan’s Institutional Land Use policies and goals. Institutional Land, in this case a school, is intended to
serve the general public and may be operated by either a public or private entity. The Institutional section
of the Master Plan acknowledges that “Many institutional structures have historical significance and are
worthy of preservation.”
The McGillis School’s desired use of the Douglas Ward as a private elementary school is one of the six
permitted uses in the Institutional Land Uses zone. The Master Plan acknowledges that “schools are an
important part of the community fabric and an essential component of viable and sustainable
neighborhoods.” The Master Plan encourages the city to keep schools “within neighborhoods as a
community anchor and serve as a resource for residents of all ages.”
The McGillis School’s desire to repurpose the Douglas Ward is consistent with Institutional Land Use
Policy (INSLU) 1.4 which provide for appropriate “re-use of abandoned or vacant religious facilities with
day care and other social services, residential or open space land use.”
The McGillis School feels strongly that the Institutional zone would be more appropriate than the Public
Lands zone. This amended application has been submitted to change to the Institutional zone. Section
21A.32.080 (E) requires a minimum of 40% open space. Section 21A.32.080(F) requires Interior Side
Yard setbacks of 20’ and Rear Yard setbacks of 25’. Section 21A.32.080(G) requires landscaping Side
Yard setbacks of 8’ and Rear Yard setbacks of 8’. The Douglas Ward is an existing structure and does
not comply with these provisions. That said, the Applicant believes that the net benefit of keeping the
existing structure with the requested zoning changes, outweighs the potential benefits that would be
derived from enforcing these requirements. Many of these nonconformities would exist under the Public
Lands zone (although the measurements maybe slightly different). Thus, the Applicant requests approval
despite these nonconformities.
Although many of the requirements of the two zones are very similar, the Institutional zone appears to
require a traffic and parking study. The McGillis School intents to have their students dropped off and
picked up at their existing school. Thus, the traffic and parking at the Douglas Ward will consist largely
of staff parking. In this case, although the use will change, the Applicant believes that the new use will
not significantly impact the traffic or parking. Thus, the Applicant requests the Zoning Administrator
waive the requirement for a traffic and parking study.
As outlined above, this Master Plan Amendment and accompanying Zoning Map Amendment are
consistent with Salt Lake City ordinances and policies and are supported by the community because the
request will preserve the existing neighborhood.
This Master Plan Amendment does not amend the text of the General Plan.

consistent with Salt Lake City ordinances and policies and are supported by the community because the
request will preserve the existing neighborhood.
This Master Plan Amendment does not amend the text of the General Plan.

Welcome to McGillis
AN INDEPENDENT PRIVATE SCHOOL FOR KINDERGARTEN THROUGH 8TH GRADE
Where community is a core value
October 18, 2023
Dear Salt Lake City Planning Commission,
As Head of School at The McGillis School, and on behalf of the School’s Board of Trustees, I write to ask for your
consideration in our application for Rezone and General Plan Amendment for the Douglas Ward property. I am
also writing to share with you some background on The McGillis School and why we wish to acquire the Douglas
Ward Building.
Rooted in Jewish culture and values, our independent private school is open to all children and serves
Kindergarten through 8th Grade. McGillis believes in creating community (kehilah), repairing the world (tikkun
olam), and doing good and kind deeds (gemilut hasadim). We are currently in our fourth decade of operations in
Salt Lake City and have called the former Douglas Elementary School building our home since 2001.
We feel honored by the opportunity to add the Douglas Ward Building to our school community for many
reasons. The Ward meetinghouse, located at 721 South 1200 East, is just one block from our school, and we were
fortunate enough to temporarily hold classes and activities there in 2010, while our current building underwent
construction for a major addition.
Beyond that direct connection, we have long appreciated and nurtured our relationship with our immediate
neighborhood, including the Douglas Ward and the East Central Community Council. We are invested in this
neighborhood and wish to continue being a good neighbor. As demonstrated in how we approached our
building’s expansion in 2010, we also have a proven history of preserving local architecture. We took great pride
then in matching the exterior of our addition to the original building, creating a seamless look for the campus that
we call home today.
Finally, we have expanded our offerings in recent years and need more space. In the fall of 2020, McGillis opened
its doors to students with language-based learning differences (dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia) by offering
a program called The Learning Center (TLC), the only school-within-a-school model in the state of Utah. In just
three years, this program, which began with 11 students, has tripled in size and will graduate its first 8th Grade
class in May 2024. We anticipate the demand for this unique program to continue to grow year over year.
I invite you to review the pages that follow, which demonstrate more about the history of McGillis. Please feel
free to reach out to me directly should you have questions or wish to discuss further.
Sincerely,
Jim Brewer
Head of School

Excerpt from Utah Heritage Foundation article:
The McGillis School's renovation of the historic Douglas School is a wonderful example of how old
school buildings can meet the needs of modern educators and students.
On a tight timeline and budget, The McGillis School team successfully addressed many of the issues
used to justify tearing down historic schools. For example, the McGillis project used center-core drilling
to economically and effectively address seismic safety concerns. A wireless broadcast network
eliminated the need for rewiring the building to accommodate new technologies. Sensitive alterations,
including a new elevator and raised front entrance, made the school ADA accessible.
The McGillis School used the original plans for Douglas School to guide its renovation and preserve
much of the building's historic fabric. The original maple floors in the halls were refinished. Drop ceilings
in the classrooms were raised to expose beautiful tall windows to their full height. On the exterior, water-
damaged concrete was painstakingly repaired. An unobtrusive aluminum cap on the roof's parapet wall
will protect it from further damage.
The McGillis School used
the original plans for
Douglas School to guide
its renovation
and preserve much of the
building's historic fabric.
More than just a great building, the former Douglas School is also a
landmark on 1300 East and the namesake of the Douglas
neighborhood. When Salt Lake City School District announced
plans to sell the building, many worried it would be demolished for
new development. Fortunately, The McGillis School and the
Douglas Neighborhood Association shared the goal of preserving
the building and its surrounding open space. With its modern
amenities in a welcoming historic setting, The McGillis School
offers a wonderful environment for learning and preserves a
neighborhood legacy.

Dear Salt Lake City Planning Commissioners:
I am writing in support of the Douglas Ward rezone and general plan amendment proposed by The
McGillis School (PLNPCM2023-00496 and PLNPCM2023-00639).
I want to disclose that two of my children started attending McGillis school this year, giving me a stake as
a parent affiliated with this school.
I also have a community connection to this project. Last October I stepped down after serving for six
years as the co-chair of the East Liberty Park Community Organization (ELPCO), the community council
located two blocks south of the East Central neighborhood where this project is located. At ELPCO, I
engaged with multiple land use and zoning applications that came before our council and this
commission. I saw The Good. The Bad. And the Ugly.
The application by The McGillis School is in the “Good” category.
First, this proposal will extend the active lifespan of the Douglas Ward for many years. During multiple
community meetings, residents told McGillis and community leaders that their primary goal was the
preservation of the Douglas Ward building. The McGillis School intends to renovate and update the ward
building to use as an extension of their existing school.
McGillis has already demonstrated their willingness to preserve buildings with local significance through
their skillful renovation of the Douglas School, which now houses their lower grade classrooms. McGillis
purchased the 1916-era Douglas School in 2002 and completed renovation and seismic retrofitting to
open the new school in time for students by the next fall. When McGillis needed to expand in 2010, they
maintained the original Douglas School and constructed a modern architectural mirror of the building on
adjacent land and connected the buildings with interior walkways.
Second, McGillis has proven itself as a reliable and accessible community partner. The school routinely
hosts community council meetings as well as PCE plume information sessions and special events, such as
a city council and mayoral candidate forum earlier this month. The goodwill generated by the school’s
approachability has led to widespread support for this project from neighbors and the East Central
Community Council.
Third, the traffic and parking impacts of this application have been addressed thoroughly in the
application. McGillis plans to use the Douglas Ward for staff parking, keeping the current pick-up and
drop-off locations for students at the existing school. Based on my experience with my own kids at
McGillis this year, the school devotes significant time and attention to planning and improving parking,
traffic, congestion, and student safety.
Based on these points, plus the broad community support that accompanies this application, I urge you
to support the Douglas Ward rezone and general plan amendment proposed by The McGillis School.
Sincerely,
Jason Stevenson

Regarding: 721 S. 1200 E. - PLNPCM2023-00496 & PLNPCM2023-00639
Dear Planning Staff and Planning Commissioners,
The East Central Community is in complete unanimous support of the McGillis School rezone
and master plan amendment for the Douglas Ward property.
The ECC has had a longstanding positive and trusting relationship with McGillis. We cannot say
enough good about this school, their benefit to our neighborhood and the thoughtful way they
conduct all aspects of their property/school in the neighborhood. They are great neighbors.
It is for this reason when the Douglas Ward building was being vacated by The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, the ECC approached the McGillis administration to explore the
possibility of their needing this additional space. We are very pleased that this opportunity is
becoming a reality.
This proposal was reviewed during the August 10th general membership meeting of the ECC
with approximately 72 neighbors present. After the presentation it was proposed that a
positive recommendation be forwarded to the city by acclamation. The vote was 72 to 0 in
favor of the recommendation with no conditions.
Prior to the ECC meeting the proposal was also distributed to the proprietary email list of 7052
ECC members requesting feedback on the proposal. Thirteen positive comments were received
along with one question related to future uses of the zone should McGillis sell the property in
the future.
This proposal was also reviewed against neighbor, neighborhood, master plan, traffic, all other
existing city plans for potential impacts and implications by the ECC Community Development
and Land Use Committee who gave their full endorsement of the proposal.
With best regards,
Esther Hunter
Chair, and on behalf of the East Central Community Council

Dear Salt Lake City zoning and planning team members,
Like many fellow residents in our neighbourhood, I am delighted that McGillis school has been
able to buy the old, disused Douglas ward chapel.
As a resident of the Douglas neighbourhood I support McGillis school's request for a zoning
change from 'R2' to 'institutional'.

Dear Planning Commission,
Since its congregation vacated it in 2019, Preservation Utah has been deeply
concerned about the future of the historic Douglas Chapel located at 721 South 1200
East, Salt Lake City. Dating back to its dedication in 1953 by President David O McKay
and continuing until very recently, the Douglas Chapel has served as a vital center for
the surrounding community, fostering gatherings, education, and acts of service.
Moreover, with its distinctive blend of American Colonial and midcentury architectural
elements, this chapel has proudly stood as a dignified neighborhood landmark,
embodying a legacy of faith and community service thanks to the members of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who funded its construction and maintained
it for over seven decades.
On behalf of Preservation Utah, I express our wholehearted support for the proposal put
forth by the McGillis School for the adaptive reuse of the Douglas Chapel. The McGillis
School envisions a future where the Douglas Chapel continues to play a vital role as a
community gathering place, albeit with a fresh purpose. Their proposal seeks to
transform the chapel into an educational center catering to students with language-
based learning differences. This initiative preserves the chapel's association with
education and community service and ensures its continued significance as a cherished
neighborhood landmark.
I am confident that the members of the Douglas Ward will welcome the McGillis
School's stewardship of the Douglas Chapel, given the school's strong commitment to
community relationships and historic preservation. Over the years, our team has
engaged in discussions with the school's administration, trustees, and members of the
Douglas Neighborhood Council. This proposal is mutually beneficial for The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the McGillis School, the Douglas Neighborhood, the
Salt Lake City preservation community, and, most importantly, the underserved
population of students who will ultimately benefit from this revitalized space.
If our team can provide any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

Dear Friends of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints:
As the representative of District 4, I write to offer my full support of The McGillis School in their pursuit
of the purchase of the Douglas Ward. I am fully aware of the alignment of the school’s vision and purpose with the
history of the Ward, and the wishes of the neighborhood.
This opportunity arrives at an ideal time for McGillis. The school launched a new division - The Learning
Center - which serves students with dyslexia and other language-based learning differences. The Learning Center
is unlike any other program in the Mountain West and has doubled in size in its second year. To accommodate
future growth and serve more learners and families who need these unique educational services, the school
requires additional space. The Douglas Ward offers 20% additional space to the school’s existing facilities with
space for public gatherings, performances, and indoor play space. Exactly what any school could need.
Over the past months, District Four community voiced their support during various council meetings for
The McGillis School to acquire the Douglas Ward. The school’s contributions to our local community align with
our vision and needs for our neighborhood. I have attended these meetings and directly heard from my
constituents of their full support and desire for McGillis to grow in the neighborhood. The School and the Douglas
Neighborhood have taken good care of one another for decades, both bringing value to the neighborhood. The
school has a record of preserving places that matter to its nearby residents and welcoming neighbors to their
campus.
It has been brought to my attention that zoning changes may be necessary to accommodate the needs of
McGillis should they acquire the Douglas Ward. The school has my full support should rezoning be necessary. I
am confident that support would extend to my peers on the Council to help McGillis achieve the zoning necessary
to perform their educational vision at the Douglas Ward.
Sincerely,
Ana Valdemoros

Dear Church Real Estate Department,
Over the years, the Douglas Ward members and Community have enjoyed a great relationship
of working together with the McGillis School. We have shared our Ward house many times for their
school activities, and we have used their facilities for community meetings. The McGillis School has done
a lot of outreach in the community, for example, annually they have provided leaf raking for
neighborhood residents. As a Ward I know it would be a very positive outcome to have the McGillis
School purchase the property because there is already a family and community connection.
The feeling of the ward members, especially those who have called the Douglas Building their
home from its construction, remember watching parents and other Ward members work together
digging foundations, putting on bake sales, rummage sales and Ward dinners to contribute funds to the
construction costs. The McGillis School management will maintain the physical and emotional essence
of the building. The concern is that another party will not do the same and indeed destroy the building
in favor of an apartment complex.
I appreciate your kind consideration of this matter on behalf of the Douglas members.
Bishop William McClelland (erit6)

We, neighbors of the McGillis School, strongly support the school's desire to purchase the
Douglas Ward.
McGillis School has been a great and reputable institution within our neighborhood for many,
many years. Furthermore, we feel that the school's intention to use the chapel to expand its
special-needs programme is a worthy cause.
We also feel that preserving the building is important to us, for it has been part of our
neighborhood for many decades.
The signatures below unquestionably represent the general sentiment of our neighborhood.

FROM: Ben Luedtke, Senior Analyst
DATE:November 14, 2023
RE: Local Nonprofit Direct Assistance Grant Awards
NEW INFORMATION
At the first briefing, the Council identified several potential funding shifts. The Housing Stability Division reached
out to applicants for feedback about how scalable an application’s funding level could be. Table 1 below shows
where funding could be potentially freed up to use for other applications that did not receive a funding
recommendation. Scenarios 1-3 provide options for Council consideration to use the freed-up funding (from Table
1). This is not a comprehensive list of potential funding scenarios but intended to facilitate Council deliberations.
Table 1: Which applications that are recommended for funding should be reduced?
The Potential $ Change column shows the funding level reduction that would still allow the program or project to
proceed largely as proposed. Note that two applications (#6 and #11) were withdrawn by the applicant which frees
up $200,000. Another $101,540 could be freed up from five other applications. The two applications from The
Children’s Center Utah are readily scalable and could also be reduced to shift funding to more applications. The
Council may wish to discuss how much to reduce the recommended funding amounts such as shown in Table 1
below, or only reallocate the $200,000 from the two withdrawn applications, or a combination of approaches.

Council Members identified applications #24, #28, #32, and #38 as of interest. They also expressed a desire to
shift some funding away from organizations with multiple applications recommended to receive funding so that
limited funding could be spread further. The tables below provide potential scenarios for Council consideration.
The Council may wish to discuss whether there is majority support for a specific funding allocation approach.

The 4th Street Clinic and The Road Home
At the first briefing, the Council asked for clarification of the contractual relationship between the 4th Street Clinic
and The Road Home. This relates to applications #11, #12, and #15. The Road Home responded that they do “not
pass through any funding to 4th Street Clinic for services at any of its housing or homeless resource center
locations. We have no contractual relationship with 4th Street Clinic aside from one MOU that outlines
expectations for their staff our State-licensed emergency shelters and one MOU for a pilot program for the
Magnolia. We are not familiar with their application, but our application does not involve their team or duplicate
services that are currently provided by either team at our housing and resource center sites.”
Contingency in Case Applicant is Unable to Fully Use Funding
The Council may wish to discuss whether to provide a contingency to the Housing Stability Division for how to
handle remaining funding in the event an applicant is unable to fully use the grant award. The advisory committee
provided a contingency for a similar circumstance: if an application was later deemed an ineligible use, then the
funding should be reallocated to the next highest scoring application moving down the funding log until all
available funding is spent. The Council could choose to use this approach for a contingency for how to handle
funding applicants are unable to use. Alternatively, the Council could choose to award any unused funding to one
or more specified applications.
Information below was provided to the Council at earlier briefings
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
In April 2022 as part of Budget Amendment #4 of FY2022, the Council approved one-time $2 million from
American Rescue Plan Act or ARPA for local nonprofit direct assistance grant awards managed by the
Community & Neighborhoods Department (CAN). The advisory Community Recovery Committee and the
Mayor are recommending the full $2 million be awarded across 23 applications (see Attachment 1 for the
funding log). The Council has final decision-making authority over the grant awards including the
dollar amounts and uses. Please see “Additional Information” section for more on applications, award
limits, scoring, and clarifications about the recommended funding log.
Applications were accepted during the month of September last year. The Administration reviewed all
applications for eligibility and compliance with federal ARPA guidance. In Budget Amendment #6 of FY2023
the Council changed the funding source for the $2 million from ARPA to instead be from the General Fund.
The Administration has proceeded to align the grant eligibility with ARPA regulations in keeping with the
program’s original intent. Tracking and compliance reporting to the Federal Government is no longer
necessary because ARPA funds are not being used. Organizations will be required to track and submit
documentation to the City. The $2 million is still subject to City Code Chapter 2.20 governing the Community
Recovery Committee and grants program (see Attachment 2 for the ordinance).
The funding recommendations propose to award the full eligible amount requested by applicants. This results
in more funding per applicant and less applicants receiving funding. Note this is a different approach than the
local business assistance grant awards managed by the Economic Development Department where funding
recommendations were for a percentage of the full eligible amount (e.g., scored 85 so received 85% of the
eligible amount requested).
The Council also approved a separate one-time $2 million from ARPA for local business assistance grant
awards that are managed by the Economic Development Department. Note the direct nonprofit assistance
grants managed by CAN are not a passthrough to local businesses like the Economic Development nonprofit
passthrough grants which the Council approved on October 3. The advisory committee issued funding
recommendations for the $481,400 of remaining local business assistance grant awards which will have a
separate Council briefing tentatively scheduled for November.
Goal of the briefing: Review the recommended grant awards, identify questions and potential modifications
to the awards, and determine whether the Council is comfortable scheduling an adoption vote.
40 Applications Reviewed and Scored by the Committee
A total of 40 applications were reviewed and scored by the Committee as shown in the Attachment 1 funding
log. The total requested funding is $3,833,313. The total eligible funding requested is less at $3,317,126 because
Page | 5
$516,187 was found to be ineligible. The project description column in the funding log identifies whether an
application was fully or partially eligible. The highest possible score is 100. The top scored application (#1)
received a score of 87.17 points. The lowest scored application (#23) that is recommended for funding received
a score of 75 points.
In the Attachment 1 funding log, the third column from the right identifies the service category for each
application. Of the 23 applications recommended for funding:
- 10 applications (#1, #3, #4, #7, #10, #12, #14, #15, #17, and #19) are in the mental health assistance
category,
- Seven applications (#5, #6, #8, #9, #13, #22, and #23) are in the expanded educational opportunities
category,
- Three applications (#16, #20, and #21) are in the rental assistance / eviction prevention category,
- One application (#2) is in the retraining displaced workers category,
- One application (#11) is in the healthcare access category,
- One application (#18) is in the mitigating the digital divide category.
Applicants Receiving Multiple Awards for Different Programs
There are several organizations that submitted multiple applications for different programs and are
recommended to receive multiple grant awards. Below is a list of those organizations and their applications.
- $151,230 for First Step House
o $51,322 for #3 case management, and
o $99,908 for #4 restorative care pathways
- $163,846 for The Children’s Center Utah
o $76,923 for #7 young children outpatient clinic services, and
o $86,923 for #14 therapeutic preschool
- $300,000 for The United Way; note that all three applications would build out well-being rooms and
expand experiential learning
o $100,000 for #5 Bryant Middle School,
o $100,000 for #6 Bennion Elementary School (see policy question #4), and
o $100,000 for #8 Rose Park Charter School
- $200,000 for The Road Home
o $100,000 for #11 access to health services in homeless resource centers, and
o $100,000 for #12 access to mental health services
- $185,801 for the Asian Association of Utah
o $92,791 for #19 behavioral health support, and
o $93,010 for #20 rental assistance
Rounding Awards to Nearest $100 or $1,000
The Finance Department recommended rounding grant awards to the nearest $100 for easier tracking and
compliance reporting to the Federal Government. The Council adjusted Phase 1 local business direct grant
awards and local nonprofit passthrough grant awards to be rounded to the nearest $100. The local nonprofit
direct grant recommendations are not rounded. In response to staff questions on this topic, CAN provided a
funding log that rounds grant awards to the nearest $100.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. Questions about Recommended Grant Awards – Does the Council have any questions about the 23
Page | 6
recommended local nonprofit direct assistance grant awards?
2. Rounding Awards – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration whether to round the awards to
the nearest $100 as recommended by the Finance Department. This rounding was done for two phases of local
business assistance grant awards. The Council may also wish to ask the Administration to use the rounding
approach for other grant programs going forward such as the annual HUD grants.
3. Awarding Grants to Organizations with Multiple Applications – The Council may wish to discuss with the
Administration the pros and cons of awarding grants to organizations that submitted multiple applications vs
spreading limited grant awards further to more organizations. A list of applicants proposed to receive multiple
grant awards is listed on the prior page.
4. Application #6 The United Way at Bennion Elementary – The Council may wish to ask the Administration how
the Salt Lake City School District studying potential closure of Bennion Elementary could impact the intended
benefits of the $100,000 grant award. For example, the project description states the funds would be used for
physical improvements to “build out a well-being room.” The School Board has not decided which elementary
schools to close and is currently studying a list of seven potential closures.
5. Annual HUD Grants and New Five-year Consolidated Plan (2025-2029) – The Council may wish to ask the
Administration to share information with the nonprofit applicants about how to apply to the City’s other grant
programs such as annual HUD grants. The Council may also wish to ask whether feedback on community
needs received during this process could inform updating the City’s Consolidated Plan for the next five-year
period (2025-2029) such as new or modified goals and strategies.
ADDITIONIAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Award Limits
The maximum award is $100,000 for any of the ARPA assistance grants per City Code Chapter 2.20.040(A)
(see Attachment 2). There is no minimum award set in ordinance. The City uses minimum awards for other
programs such as annual grants from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) and the
Capital Improvement Program or CIP. Grant recipients must submit documentation for reimbursements and
file quarterly reports with the City.
Scoring
See Attachment 1 funding log where scores for all applications are shown in the right most column ordered
from highest to lowest score. A total of 100 points was available. Up to 35 points were awarded by the
Administration through a risk assessment which is a common requirement of federal funding. Up to 65 points
were available by averaging the individual scores from the advisory committee members. The administrative
and committee member average points were combined to yield the total score.
Spending Deadlines
Under federal guidelines ARPA funds must be obligated by the end of calendar year 2024 and must be fully
spent by the end of calendar year 2026. City Code Chapter 2.20.050 (see Attachment 2) sets an earlier
spending deadline of December 31, 2024, to provide public benefits at a faster pace.
Community Recovery Committee
(See Attachment 2 for the ordinance)
In April 2022, the Council enacted Chapter 2.20 of Salt Lake City Code creating the time-limited Community
Recovery Committee as an official City board. Section 2.20.060 of the ordinance identifies a sunset for the
Committee once all the ARPA program funds are expended or the federal spending deadline has passed. The
Committee reviews applications and makes funding recommendations to the Mayor and City Council for the ARPA
local business and nonprofit assistance grants. The Committee has seven or nine members who also serve on other
City boards or committees.
Grant Categories
(See Attachment 2 for the ordinance)
No specific categories are identified for the business assistance grants. These grants are focused on small and local
Page | 7
businesses, tourism, travel, or hospitality, and support for artists and artisan businesses. A business must first
demonstrate an economic and/or operational hardship caused by the pandemic, and then propose an ARPA
eligible use for the grant funds.
Specific categories are identified for the nonprofit assistance grants which are: “offering services to retrain
displaced workers; providing legal or other assistance for evictions or rent relief; expanding educational
opportunities; deploying resources to mitigate the digital divide; supporting parents or children affected by
COVID-19 including childcare or after school programs; and providing access to healthcare services including
mental health support.” (2.20.040(A)) Note nonprofits may submit applications for programs not listed above.

DOCUMENT TYPE: Resolution
RECOMMENDATION: Review the Community Recovery Committee’s (CRC) funding
recommendations of twenty-three (23) applicants for the allocation of $2,000,000 through
Community and Neighborhoods Department (CAN), Community Recovery Assistance Grants
(CRAG). Approve funds in accordance with City Code 2.20.040, at the Council’s discretion.
BUDGET IMPACT: Distribution of $2M in funding allocated to CAN as American Rescue
Plan Act funds in April 2022, and reallocated as general funds in May 2023.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Salt Lake City received $85.4M from the US Department of
the Treasury through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). Of this total award, City Council
set aside $4M to establish a community grant program to help Salt Lake City recover from the
effects of COVID-19 (City Code 2.20.040, passed in April 2022) and tasked the respective
departments of Economic Development (DED) and Community and Neighborhoods (CAN) to
deploy and administer $2M each.
Lisa Shaffer (Sep 21, 2023 10:39 MDT)09/21/2023
09/21/2023
For the $2M in funds administered by CAN, a publicly noticed, open competitive application
period ran from September 1-30, 2022, and this portion of funds received forty (40) applications.
The Community Recovery Committee (CRC), created through City Code 2.20.040 and
composed of current members of other City boards and commissions, reviewed these
applications between February and mid-April 2023. During their seven (7) meetings, the CRC
scored and put forth their recommendations for twenty-three (23) applicants. Attached is Exhibit
B with the funding recommendations.
In May of 2023, Council transferred $19.8M of the awarded ARPA funds, which included the
$2M for the CAN CRAG towards City revenue replacement general funds. Finance has
confirmed that these funds are no longer American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds. Note: City
Code 2.20.040 references “Rescue Plan community grant program funds,” and at the time of the
open application process and CRC recommendations, these funds adhered to ARPA regulations.
The administration of these general funds will continue to align with ARPA regulations as much
as possible, along with any additional guidance provided by Council.
Award Eligibility Requirements:
CAN worked closely with Finance to determine eligibility requirements. The requirements for
funding eligibility are as follows:
●A community grant application will not exceed $100,000. Awards will not be greater
than $100,000 or less than $30,000.
●Any community grant application must focus on one of the six (6) categories, as outlined
in City Code 2.20.040(b):
i.Retraining displaced workers
ii.Legal or other assistance for eviction prevention or rent relief
iii.Expanding educational opportunities
iv.Mitigating the digital divide
v. Supporting parents or children affected by COVID-19
vi. Providing access to healthcare services, including mental health support
●Any community grant application must provide a direct service to Salt Lake City
residents that have been impacted or disproportionately impacted by COVID-19..
●Any community grant application must abide by all relevant federal, state, and city
activity standards and regulations, and any subsequent changes made while applying to
the same.
Scoring:
Eligible applicants were scored on a base-100 scale with the following breakdown:
●One-third of the total score was derived from the Admin Score. The highest possible
Admin Score was 35 points. Housing Stability staff and Finance staff conducted an initial
application review for eligibility and risk (history of administering federal funding,
independent audit findings, key staff turnover, etc.).
●Two-thirds of the score was derived from the CRC’s review. The highest possible
Committee score was 65 points. CRC members independently scored the applications, by
reviewing each application and scoring in a qualitative manner, that determined overall
program merit. Staff aggregated and averaged the individual scores for a final application
score.
Of the forty (40) applications that were received, thirty-one (31) were determined to be for the
CAN CRAG program, based on ARPA guidance and the City Code authorizing the use of the
funds. Ineligibility factors included insufficient or lack of: COVID recovery-related activities,
direct client services, and/or services to Salt Lake City residents. Due to funding availability, the
top scored twenty-three (23) applications have been recommended for funding. The
recommended applications have been sorted based on their final scores (highest to lowest).
Attached to this transmittal is the CRC’s and the Mayor’s list of funding recommendations for
consideration of final funding approval by the Council.
PUBLIC PROCESS: A notice of available funding was publicly noticed and all CRC meetings
were publicly-noticed in accordance with the Open and Public Meetings Act.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Ben Luedtke, Senior Analyst
DATE:November 14, 2023
RE: American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Local Business Direct Assistance Grant Awards Final Phase
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
In April 2022 as part of Budget Amendment #4 of FY2022, the Council approved one-time $2 million from
ARPA for local business assistance grant awards managed by the Economic Development Department that the
department recommended distributing in two phases. On March 7, 2023, the Council approved $1,017,397 for
42 grant awards to local businesses. On October 3, the Council approved $500,000 for seven passthrough
grant awards to local nonprofits that provide services to local businesses. Note the Council also approved a
separate one-time $2 million from ARPA for local nonprofit direct assistance grant awards managed by the
Community and Neighborhood Department (CAN) which has separate briefings and reports.
This memo covers the final phase of the business assistance grants. The Economic Development Department
and the Community Recovery Committee recommend that the remaining $481,400 of ARPA grant awards go
to 15 small local businesses as shown in the Attachment 1 - Funding Log. 11 of the 15 applicants also applied
during the first phase. The Mayor made no changes to the Committee’s funding recommendations. The
Administration reviewed all applications for eligibility and compliance with federal ARPA guidance.
The recommended award amounts are calculated by multiplying the requested funding by the average
committee score. For example, the highest scoring application requested $50,000 and received an average
score of 95.86 which is $50,000 x 95.86% = $43,041. The final funding recommended is $43,000 because of
rounding to the nearest $100 per the Council’s policy guidance and best practices according to the Finance
Department. Using this formula, the 15th application would be recommended to receive $40,100 but the
advisory committee recommended a lower amount off $8,800 to stay within the total $481,400 remaining for
this final phase of grant awards.
The Council has final decision-making authority over the grant awards including the dollar
amounts and uses. See the “Additional Information” section for more on applications, award limits, scoring,
and clarifications about the recommended funding log.
Goal of the briefing: Review the recommended grant awards, identify questions and potential modifications
to the awards and/or process, and determine whether the Council is comfortable scheduling an adoption vote.
Project Timeline:
1st Briefing: November 14, 2023
2nd Briefing: December 5, 2023 (if needed)
Potential Final Vote: December 5 or 12, 2023
Page | 2
At Least One Award in Each Council District
The advisory committee interpreted the ordinance requirement of geographic equity to mean there should be at
least one grant award to a local business in each Council District. The highest scoring applicant from District Six
(h2blow Salt Lake City) is recommended to receive $8,800 which is less than the eligible funding because that’s all
the funding remaining after awards to higher scored applicants. There are six applicants that scored higher but are
not recommended for funding because of the committee’s geographic equity policy approach.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. Questions about Recommended Grant Awards – Does the Council have any questions about the 15
recommended local business direct assistance grant awards?
2. Potential Contingency for Unused Funds – The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration whether
to provide a funding contingency in case an applicant(s) is unable to fully use the grant award. For example,
the funding could be reallocated to the next highest scoring application moving down the funding log until all
available funding is spent. However, it’s unclear whether the multiple different phases with different scores
and funding logs would be consolidated or kept separate in this potential circumstance. Alternatively, the
Council could choose to award any unused funding to one or more specified applications.
ADDITIONIAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Applications: 116 applications were submitted for the final phase. 22 applications were not scored by the
Committee such as when an application was deemed ineligible for reasons such as the applicant was located
outside of city limits, did not begin operations within the federal time requirements (been in business on or
before January 1, 2020), the application was incomplete, or late. 11 of the 15 applicants recommended for
funding also applied during the first phase.
Award Limits: The maximum award is $100,000 for any of the ARPA assistance grants per City Code Chapter
2.20.040(A) (see Attachment 2). There is no minimum award set in ordinance. The City uses minimum awards
for other programs such as annual grants from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD)
and the Capital Improvement Program or CIP (See policy question #3). Grant recipients must submit
documentation for reimbursements and file quarterly reports with the City. Some local businesses could be
ineligible depending on the minimum award amount.
Scoring: Eligible applications were scored on a scale of zero to 100 with higher scores being better. Identifying
information such as names and addresses were removed from applications before the Community Recovery
Committee reviewed and scored them. This was done to improve the integrity of the process. See Attachment 3
for a summary list of all 94 eligible local business applications ordered from highest to lowest combined score.
The attachment shows average scores in the fourth column which is an average of all Committee member’s
scores who ranked the application.
Funding Recommendations: The 15 local business applicants are recommended to receive a grant award based
on a sliding scale rather than the full eligible funding amount. The Administration provided this example: “if
an applicant had an eligible funding amount of $10,000 and received an average Committee score of 90.0,
then their final funding amount would be $9,000.” The sliding scale approach results in less funding to
applicants but spreads the limited ARPA dollars to more applicants.
Funding Log (Attachment 1): The log shows the 15 local businesses recommended for funding. 11 of the 15
applicants also applied during the first phase. Note that when an application is listed as “Received other
assistance: None” this means the local business received zero financial assistance from any level of
government. The columns moving from left to right are: recommended local business number one through 15,
local business name, Council District, amount of funding the local business requested, amount of requested
funding that is eligible (must show a proven loss and other ARPA requirements), the Community Recovery
Committee’s recommended funding rounded to the nearest $100, and the category of AB – Arts and Artisan
Businesses, SB – Small Business, and TTH – Tourism, Travel, or Hospitality. Several acronyms are spelled out
at the end.
Page | 3
Spending Deadlines: Under federal guidelines ARPA funds must be obligated by the end of calendar year 2024
and must be fully spent by the end of calendar year 2026. City Code Chapter 2.20.050 (see Attachment 2) sets
an earlier spending deadline of December 31, 2024, to provide public benefits at a faster pace.
Community Recovery Committee
(See Attachment 2 for the ordinance)
In April 2022, the Council enacted Chapter 2.20 of Salt Lake City Code creating the time-limited Community
Recovery Committee as an official City board. Section 2.20.060 of the ordinance identifies a sunset for the
Committee once all the ARPA program funds are expended or the federal spending deadline has passed. The
Committee reviews applications and makes funding recommendations to the Mayor and City Council for the ARPA
local business and nonprofit assistance grants. The Committee has seven or nine members who also serve on other
City boards or committees.
Grant Categories
(See Attachment 2 for the ordinance)
No specific categories are identified for the business assistance grants. These grants are focused on small and local
businesses, tourism, travel, or hospitality, and support for artists and artisan businesses. A business must first
demonstrate an economic and/or operational hardship caused by the pandemic, and then propose an ARPA
eligible use for the grant funds.
Specific categories are identified for the nonprofit assistance grants which are: “offering services to retrain
displaced workers; providing legal or other assistance for evictions or rent relief; expanding educational
opportunities; deploying resources to mitigate the digital divide; supporting parents or children affected by

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
On March 11, 2021, the U.S. government signed into law a COVID-19 recovery bill, the American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). ARPA was intended to support State and Local recovery from the
COVID-19 public health emergency (COVID-19 Pandemic) and the negative economic impacts
experienced because of the pandemic.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury released materials associated with the release of funds to
cities and states, known as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) Salt
Lake City received approximately $85.4 million of these funds, which must be committed by
December 31, 2024 and spent by December 31, 2026.
After extensive community engagement, the Mayor and City Council approved the creation of

the Community Grant Program to help small businesses and nonprofits recover from the
negative economic impacts of the pandemic.
In April of 2022, Salt Lake City Council adopted city code Chapter 2.20, which established the
Community Grant Program. The Community Grant Program is administered by both the
Department of Economic Development (DED) and Community and Neighborhoods (CAN). Both
departments were tasked with deploying $2M each of the $85.4 million federal funds granted to
the City.
Below is an overview of the program, guidelines, scoring and recommendation by the Community Recovery
Committee (CRC).
CRC Recommendation & Demographics
In Phase 2 a total of 116 small business or artist applications were received, and of those 94 were
eligible for further review. The Community Recovery Committee has recommended funding be
distributed to 15 small businesses and artists, which utilizes the remaining $481,400 of the
Community Grant Program funds.
The table below shows demographic data of the 15 applications recommended for Phase 2
awards by the committee:

Program Overview
● No single application for a community grant will exceed $100,000.00
● Any application for a community grant to a nonprofit organization will focus on
supporting communities disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic,
including, but not limited to, offering services to retrain displaced workers: providing
legal or other assistance for evictions or rent relief: expanding educational
opportunities; deploying resources to mitigate the digital divide; supporting parents
or children affected by COVID-19 including childcare or after school program; and
providing access to healthcare services, including mental health support.
● Any application for a community grant for a local business will focus on supporting
the business’s operation or employees who have been economically affected by the
COVID-19 pandemic.
CRC Members
City Council created the Community Recovery Committee (CRC) to oversee the process,
review the applications and make recommendations for the deployment of funds.
The CRC is currently comprised of eight (8) members that serve on the following other
boards:
Economic Development Loan CommitteeRacial Equity in Policing (2 members from this board)
Human Rights Commission (3 members from this board)
Salt Lake Arts Council
Business Advisory Board
Scoring
The CRC used the following scoring methodology in Phase 2:
Applicants were eligible for 100 base points with the following breakdown-
●60% of the points are based on narratives the businesses provided sharing how
COVID-19 impacted their business (past, present, and future)
●40% of points are based on how a business was able to navigate through the
pandemic.
In addition to the base points, staff awarded up to 70 bonus points to impacted and
disproportionately impacted communities including:
●100% BIPOC-owned business (15 points)
●100% Female-owned business (15 points)
●Artist-artisan business (15 points)
●Business located in qualified census tracts - QCT (15 points)
●Business in the travel, tourism, & hospitality sector (5 points)
●Business in the City Center (5 points)
The Committee’s recommended awardee list for Phase 2 is based on: 1) the Committee’s
adopted methodology of a “sliding scale” (eligible funding amount multiplied by average
Committee score) to calculate top scorers, and 2) making sure that all City Council Districts
have at least one applicant on recommended list to ensure geographic equity.
Qualifying Use of Funds
To meet the qualifying criteria established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and to
align our grants with SLFRF expenditure categories, applications were categorized into one of
the four categories below:
●Small business economic assistance
●Aid to tourism, travel or hospitality
●Aid to arts and artisan businesses
●Aid to nonprofit organizations with programming specific to small businesses or
arts and artisan businesses. All four of these expenditure categories are small
business-related, eligible for funding through the Community Grant Program and
aid Salt Lake City’s Department of Finance (Finance) to administer the
distribution of funds.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
To ensure the Community Grant Program is available to all potentially interested applicants,
DED instituted the following measures to ensure the program is equitable, transparent, and
inclusive:
● Application materials, training videos, and presentations were provided in
multiple languages.
● Online and paper applications were accepted.
● Training and Technical Assistance appointments were offered on both the East
and West sides of Salt Lake City.
● Individual application assistance was provided by DED, the International
Rescue Committee, and Utah Small Business Development Center (SBDC) as
needed.

Letter from the Community Recovery Committee
Dear Mayor and City Council,
The Community Recovery Committee (CRC) knows that the COVID-19 pandemic and related shutdowns
were devastating to many small businesses in Salt Lake City, and many have struggled to financially
recover from the effects of the pandemic. During Phase 1 of the SLC Community Grant Program, the
CRC was thrilled that the City Council awarded 42 small businesses and artists with COVID-19
recovery funding.
The Committee also understands the difficulties that small businesses and artists still face because of the
COVID-19 pandemic. During Phase 2, we continued to dedicate a great deal of care and effort into
conducting a fair and equitable process that would award as much money to as many businesses as
possible. With that said, this is a competitive grant program and the Committee focused for many hours
over difficult decisions to award limited funding. After reviewing various funding options, we are again
recommending a ‘sliding scale’ be applied to the eligible award amount based on the average score the
applicant received to fund more grantees. We recommend that the applicants scoring the highest be
awarded funds until the Phase 2 funding amount is exhausted.
The Committee feels we put forth the best, and most equitable recommendation we could and appreciate
your consideration of our decision.
Sincerely,
Jake Maxwell
Chair – Community Recovery Committee

UTA’s 2024 budget and supporting 5-year Capital plan were developed as the Agency was coming out of a time of
economic uncertainty. Inflation had reached a 40-year high and interest rates are approaching levels last seen
during the Great Recession of 2008. Year-over-year growth for costs of fuel and power, goods and services, parts,
utilities, construction materials and other of providing service is significantly higher than in the recent past.
Offsetting these negative economic indicators, but creating a different and difficult challenge, are robust
employment, historically low unemployment levels, and a resilient Utah economy. Recruiting and retaining
employees in the competitive Utah economy is a challenge and an area of focus in this budget.
The 2024 budget includes $424.5 million in operating expenses and $230.4 million in capital investment to fund the
provision of safe, convenient, and reliable service and key investments in our infrastructure. The budget includes
federal, state, and local contributions from our partners.
Budget priorities outlined here affect you and your community. Guided by the newly adopted 2030 UTA Strategic
Plan, UTA has developed our budget centering on the mission, vision, and five strategic priorities.
Mission
“We Move You”
The Utah Transit Authority moves Utah to a stronger economy, a cleaner environment, increased mobility, greater
access to opportunity, and a better quality of life - all driven by safe, reliable transportation.
Vision
Leading Utah’s mobility solutions and improving quality of life.

11/8/2023 10:04 Nigel Swaby Affordable Housing Overlay Councilmembers, I've had the opportunity to scan the affordable housing overlay proposal. I haven't read all
the details, but find it a significant improvement to the original draft. It appears to allow greater density in
residential zones and adds housing to certain commercial zones. Adding housing in commercial zones seems
to fit broader trends of less office space and more multi-family and urban warehouses. The affordability
requirements are more reasonable which should allow development to take place in all parts of the city. That
equity concern was one of the biggest issues I had with the previous version. Overall, this seems like
something good for the city! Nigel My website - www.swabyrealestate.com

higher density that is simply a way for developers to increase expensive density in formerly single family

drugs in public - if it was a Frat guy doing it Mendenhall would want him locked up but if you’re homeless “oh
we can’t have those statically showing all the crime better just let them be safe” A lot of us living in the city,
that have been here longer than ANY one on the council, can see that she/you are using city funds to try to get

Hills area, have a young family, and am championing a CIP application for park renovations of our local park,
Curtis Park (attached to the west of Foothill Village). I'm wondering if I could get your support for our project?
It could be as simple as any or all of the following: • Be named on the application • Help gather community
member support, through email, social, or your personal sphere of influence • Sign a letter of support that
could be attached to the application. I know you're right in the middle of campaign season, so I've
intentionally tried to make this as short and easy as possible knowing you're busy. The CIP application
deadline is Dec 15, 2023, otherwise I would have waited until after the campaign. I'd love it if you would be
willing to offer your support in any way, please let me know. Thanks! Jon Cracroft

Kristina11/9/2023 16:58 Steven Keyser Northpoint Small Area Plan update: Nov. 14 vote Good Afternoon, I previously spoke to planners regarding an error on the northpoint map on our lease
property. The planner acknowledged the error and said it would be fixed however I see the same error is still
on the online map. The error includes wetland designation along the border of our lease property at
REDACTED. The error is apparently an improper designation showing a "green cross hatch layer" that should
not be on the map, which causes a green line down the south border of the property (see pic attached). Also,
there is no "open space" on this property, it is all zoned BP? Please explain the open space identified on this
same parcel on the Northpoint map that has never been identified as open space on any deed or recorded
document? These errors will certainly cause problems as we develop the property and need to be removed. I
cannot tell from the information in the plan what is being proposed for property such as ours that is already
zoned BP. Does this plan suggest the property will be rezoned to something else? I have had no notice of a
rezone from BP, so I'm hoping that's not the case as we would file a TRO for emergency relief if that is the
case. Regards Steven Keyser

ADA Access #8318048
Dan, Public Lands “demolished and completely removed” uriparian retention structures along Red Butte Creek
in 2014. PL then admitted that this demolition was a violation of standards of practice as is evidenced by the
following: 1. After SLCo Flood Control’s storm retention wall was demolished, serious erosion occurred and
Public Lands installed sandbags in place of the retention structure that had been designed by SLCo
hydrological engineers in 1987. Public Lands did not consult a qualified hydrologist or Rich White, PE the
engineer for Chevron who managed the clean-up as regards demolition of a perfectly functioning storm
retention structure. 2. After demolishing the 300’ long lower oath, Public Lands realized access along the
Military Dive side had not been addressed by their design team, Biohabitats abs Design Workshop. No means
of providing access was ever designated or indicated on the construction documents approved by SLC
Engineering and Public Utilities. Then, in violation of these approvals Public Lands as an after though decided
to gouge out the footings of a WPA rock wall listed on the national registry, The Living New Deal to realign and
replace the lower trail. This unauthorized construction involved the removal of native trees installed along the
WPA wall by the seven adjoining residents, including Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin. Our intent was to stabilize the
WPA historic wall. As Public Lands followed along the WPA wall they had a second realization, that they were
about to trespass into private properties. Rather than admit they had failed to survey park boundaries, Public
Lands staff diverted the new unapproved path down a steep slope, again removing native trees installed by
Friends of Miller Park. This also violated standards of practice and the unified building code. 3. Public Lands
then realized their new upper path would cause additional erosion, and again without any geotechnical or civil
engineering input they stacked six additional tiers of timber plus boulders on top of a wall that was designed
by MNG in 1987. This wall had been bonded as a requirement of SLC Engineering and Parks. For nine years this
pre-existing wall has been arbitrarily and illegally subjected to serious structural jeopardy, and it will fail.
Perhaps you can assess the city’s invalidation of bonding requirements? Jim Webster, RLA

Work Session **Attachment 1, 4 pages
Dear Council Members, At your Work Session on Affordable Housing last week, one of the topics mentioned
briefly was the data prepared by the Mayor's Task Force specific to Salt Lake. Chris Zarek and Josh Green,
members of the group, donated their expertise to produce the data in the attachment. There is a huge amount
of information---complicated information. Because I anticipate relying on these data in future comments, I
want to highlight their importance. Members of the Task Force decided that the proposed changes were
unlikely to produce affordable units in low density/high value neighborhoods. The Attachment G: Summary of
Proforma and Scenario Analyses begins on page 91 in the link below. The attachment contains the tables

11/13/2023 10:06 Cindy Cromer comment on the McGillis I speak as someone who worked in the building which now houses McGillis School for over 20 years. I know of
no group more qualified to retrofit an historic building. McGillis has already done a fabulous job with an old
building, already. Prior to April 1995, churches and schools were permitted uses in ALL residential zones. They
were treated the same. Based on the City's decisions about other nonconforming uses such as medical clinics, I
don't see why the nonconforming right to use the building as a church has not been extended to a school.
Earlier this year, I identified 7 historic churches in jeopardy within Salt Lake City. Certainly the City should
welcome a proposal to reuse one of these historic structures. There is the benefit of protecting the embodied
energy in the structure while concurrently protecting the community benefit of the structure in the fabric of
the neighborhood. It is urgent that the City streamline the adaptive reuse of educational and religious
buildings. These uses, conforming when introduced, should not be so difficult to bring into conforming status.

North. I live in the Guadalupe neighborhood about a block from the correction. I believe that I15 has been a
huge dividing element of the community and any potential to reduce that dividing effect should be taken. I
would imagine if the reverse was proposed and 3rd North was going to be closed than the whole community
would be against the additional division in the community. At the last Fair Park Community Council meeting it
was mentioned that there might be a effort to try and have a good faith effort to work on a what that
connection would look like. If possible I would love to be included in that effort. Thanks Jarod Hall
11/13/2023 16:51 Keiko Jones Housing and Urban Development Dear council members: I am not good at remembering numbers, and I don’t even try. But there are so many
apartments that have been built/are being built. It feels like the city thinks it’s a crime to leave any green
space in TSA zone. Yet increase in number of housing units hasn’t improved homeless situation. Federal
funding for “housing and urban development” doesn’t need to be spent for building more housing. We need
to think about something else rather than building more housing. I am not a politician, and my idea may be
out of scope, but the city should get together with other cities, counties, and the state, and build a mental
hospital that includes drug rehabilitation facilities. Also the funding should be spent to help law-abiding
residents to buy homes. We have focused so much on homeless people that I sometimes think the city is
neglecting upstanding citizens. And I hope the city will spend some of the money on enforcement to create a
clean and safe place for everyone to live. Two sets of rules, one for homeless people; and another for law-
abiding citizens, are getting old. Keiko Jones

11/13/2023 16:52 Susan Olson Affordable housing thoughts Dear City Council members, I watched the portion of the November 7 working meeting that concerned the
affordable housing incentives. I was impressed by the seriousness and depth of the discussion. I thought Mr.
Mano's point that these incentives will not create "deeply affordable" housing, but are intended to induce as
much affordable housing as possible from the development community without needing to spend city money
was very helpful. Save the money for deeply affordable. I have been having conversations with East Bench
friends who are all riled up about the proposed incentives. The tweaks chosen this week to favor owner-
occupied housing and keeping existing structures should help reassure such folks a little, but not a lot. The fear
seems to be developers will see the most money to be made is in 4-plexes and will eventually buy up all the
single-family homes and replace them. I wonder if there is any way to include some maximum number or
percentage of lots that could be developed beyond duplexes. Maybe not without violating owners' property
rights, but it might be worth exploring. More generally, I think it would help to circulate more widely the sorts
of occupations held by people at the levels of AMI incentivized in the proposal. I get the feeling that people
ignorantly think that 4-plexes in Yalecrest will be rented by people who have been chronically homeless and
suffer from mental illness and substance abuse. More accurate information needs to be presented at every
community meeting. Good luck. I support the direction you're going. Susan Olson

11/13/2023 16:56 Maze Nolastname Affordable Housing I'm 65 and live downtown in SLC. Affordable housing as you know is extremely hard to find. As a resident on
housing its extremely hard to find one bedroom housing. When you don't have transportation it's harder even
if you find what matches your needs. Buying food from a convenient store doesn't help matters. Affordable
housing thanks not in Tim buck to helps. Just because we are poor doesn't me we deserve housing away from
necessities and in safe neighborhoods. However the top priority should be to help build housing for the
homeless. I hear there are many shipping containers that are being used to build housing for the poor and
homeless. They are large, and plentiful. They can be used to build large homes, apartments and smaller homes
and can can make the building go faster since they are already put together. Just make sure the housing is
insulated. We have low income. Sure there are organizations that help with heating and cooling. Yet why
waste their resources when they can help others to.

11/13/2023 17:52 Cindy Cromer 1/2 notification re changes in contributory status in
historic districts
Dear Dan- Thank you for setting up a meeting today. I am deeply appreciative. I have spoken publicly 3 times,
been rebutted by staff when I couldn't speak, and ignored by about 2 dozen decision makers. When I write
"deeply appreciative," I am not exaggerating. The attachment contains documentation regarding my argument
that there is no notification regarding a change in contributory status in an historic district. Currently there is
not even a process in the ordinance. The proposal before the Council establishes one for the first time. It does
not include notification; that is intentional. The Planning Division wants to be able to change the status quickly
based on requests from property owners. (There is an expedited process for demolition for dealing with a
hazardous building. The issue is not about hazards to the public.) So in order in the attached pdf: -notification
requirements which the Council adopted last spring in 21A.10.015 A There is no requirement to notify the
community council, property owners within 300 feet, or even abutting property owners. Note that there is a
requirement to notify regarding demolitions of contributory structures. If the status of the building changes to
noncontributory prior to the request for demolition, then obviously the notification on the request for
demolition is a formality. The decision has already been made. -message from the owner of 444 S 700 E
indicating that she received no notice in 2022 that the contributory buildings on either side of her building
were being considered for change to non-contributory status. The proposal codifies what the staff has been
doing. It does not add notification to the process. -staff report from Brian Fullmer describing the issue -my
comment at the Council's hearing -a public comment submitted by a resident in Central City to the Planning
Commission Why does this matter? -Because the contributory/non-contributory status of a building in an
historic district is the core of the City's land use regulation. If the building is non-contributory, then the City
will approve its demolition. The requirements for new construction in an historic district are different from
those for additions and modifications to contributory structures. I keep saying, "Contributory status is at the
core of land use regulation in historic districts."
11/13/2023 17:52 Cindy Cromer 2/2 CONTINUED!! notification re changes in
contributory status in historic districts
-Because the determination of a building's status is not obvious and requires specific expertise. Even then
there are disagreements. In my opinion, the building on the southeast corner of 300 S/600 E retains sufficient
features to be considered contributory. Two of the members of the Landmarks Commission agreed with me
publicly earlier this month. The building is designated noncontributory as a result of work completed without a
permit and is going to be demolished. -Because the Central City Histroic District will be disproportionately
affected by the lack of public process due to the City's previous decisions about land use in Central City, the
transit corridor on 400 S, and the fact the neighborhood was redlined historically resulting in poor
maintenance and less than optimal remodeling of surviving structures. There have been 51 demolitions of
contributory structures in the Central City Historic District since 1991. That number has only increased by 1
since the last survey in 2012 because the City now moves the buildings out of contributory status and then
approves their demolition. That is exactly what happened to the 2 mid-century buildings on either side of 444
S 700 E last year. I keep saying, "This is about land use regulation and there is no notification." Relentlessly,

striped at this intersection. This intersection was improved last year with new curbing and accessible ramps. It
was not improved, however, with striping to indicate that it is a crosswalk. I spoke with Zahnor Edwards, a
senior transportation planner, about this and he said that, despite there being no striping, this is indeed a
crosswalk. He explained the reason for this is that that the city wants to limit the number of painted
crosswalks in the area so traffic can keep moving. There have been numerous times when I've attempted to
cross at this intersection and cars have refused to stop for me. Given that drivers do not acknowledge that this
is a crosswalk and that UTA has bus stops at this intersection, it seems like striping would be appropriate.
Thanks in advance for your consideration. Eric Valchuis
11/14/2023 10:37 Louis Borgenicht Nuclear weapons are a local issue, please sign
this letter
Dear Council Member Dan Dugan, The horrific war in Israel and Gaza is the latest reminder that the world is a
nuclear tinderbox—one bad decision or miscalculation away from nuclear war—and it’s well past time to get
serious about getting rid of nuclear weapons. At a time when our communities are grappling with life-
threatening security challenges related to housing, jobs, transportation, food, and health care, our federal
government is spending enormous amounts of our tax dollars, every hour, every day on nuclear weapons that
make us less safe and do nothing to address these and other real-life challenges, in our communities and in
the world. And today, the threat of nuclear war is perhaps greater than it’s ever been—threatening all of us,
all of humanity. There is a safer path going forward. In late November, the 2nd Meeting of States Parties to the
Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW), will be held in New York City. The TPNW is a big deal.
Adopted at the United Nations in July, 2017, the treaty bans the use, possession, testing, and transfer of
nuclear weapons under international law. To date, 93 countries have signed the treaty and 69 have ratified it.
Unfortunately, the Biden administration (like the other 8 countries that possess nuclear weapons) actively
opposes the treaty. I think that’s wrong-headed and this is where you come in. Will you please sign this open
letter https://preventnuclearwar.org/us-officials-letter-23/ to President Biden urging him to (1) send an
observer delegation to the 2nd Meeting of States Parties (2MSP) to the TPNW and (2) to initiate negotiations
with all nuclear weapons states toward a verifiable, timebound agreement to eliminate all nuclear weapons
from the planet? By signing it you will join a growing chorus of elected officials from around the country who
are speaking out for nuclear disarmament and demanding action from Washington. The letter is organized by
Back From the Brink (BftB): Bringing Communities Together to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, a U.S.-based
grassroots coalition of individuals, civil society organizations, and elected officials working together on a multi-
year campaign to rid the world of nuclear weapons and secure a set of common sense U.S. nuclear weapons
policies that will make the world safer, healthier, and more just. Nuclear weapons are a local issue. Your voice,
my voice matter and together we can make a difference. Please sign onto the open letter to President Biden
here: https://preventnuclearwar.org/us-officials-letter-23/. Sincerely, Louis Borgenicht

in place to clean up and fix the park before the snow comes? Remove the wood debri from the flooding (yes, it
is still there, the grass is probably dead underneath by now), filling in the holes in the ground which are
tripping hazards and there is a big one next to the pavilion, close to the playground. It is surprising that the city

nomination to Planning Commission
Dan: I noticed that the City Council will consider the nomination of Landon Kraczek to the Planning
Commission tonight. My comments are not directed toward Landon as an individual. Rather my concern is if
he is approved, two top officers of the Glendale Neighborhood Council — the chair (Turner Bitton) and the
secretary (Landon Kraczek) — would both serve together on one of the most powerful and important
commissions in the city. Is that appropriate? Is this a conflict of interest? For example, would I as chair of
Yalecrest and one of my co-chairs or secretary/treasurer both be allowed to serve on the Planning Commission
while maintaining our seats on the neighborhood council? Leaders in two other Salt Lake community councils
have also discussed these same issues with me. Both heard that Turner had resigned his Planning Commission
appointment because of a conflict of interest. Nonetheless, at last Wednesday’s Planning Commission meeting
he attended and voted. Could you clarify his status? An even bigger concern is the Planning Commission
vacancy in D6 has not been filed. I accidentally discovered that two individuals in D6 with exceptional
qualifications in architecture, real estate or financing applied for the D6 vacancy. Both shared this with me
months after their applications were sent. Can you provide an update on why the vacancy hasn't been filled?
Is there a timeline? Does the city have suitable candidates? The requirements are quite broad. We appreciate
the service of Aimee Burrows from D6 on the Commission but would certainly like to see the second vacancy
filled. I hope you will have a chance to discuss this with your colleagues before there is a vote. Best, Jan

Area Plan Prior to Adoption **Attachment 2
Councilmembers Petro, Puy, Wharton, Valdemoros, Mano, Dugan and Young - There are many good and
important elements in the Northpoint Small Area Plan. I am pleased to see the correction with regard to the
Blueprint Jordan River, and the addition/expansion of a proposed 300 foot buffer to the Jordan River in the
latest draft. I encourage you to adopt the Plan, with one notable and important change. Unfortunately, the
current draft retains the Vision Map on page 16 relatively unchanged. This map directly contradicts numerous
adopted City policies clearly and carefully outlined in Salt Lake City's Comprehensive Vision & Plan — Plan Salt
Lake. I could elaborate on dozens of inconsistencies. For brevity, I will highlight just five key contradictions
here: Neighborhoods (Plan Salt Lake, page 17) Initiatives: 1. Maintain neighborhood stability and character. 3.
Create a safe and convenient place for people to carry out their daily lives. 4. Support neighborhood identity
and diversity. 5. Support policies that provide people a choice to stay in their homes and neighborhood as they
grow older and household demographics change. The proposed map directly contradicts each of these
strategic initiatives outlined and adopted by the City. It will directly displace hundreds of residents, will
destroy one of the most unique rural neighborhoods in Salt Lake City, along with its important and diverse
identity and function, and will destroy the intergenerational history of this community. Growth (Plan Salt Lake,
page 19) Initiatives: 1. Locate new development in areas with existing infrastructure and amenities, such as
transit and transportation corridors. 4. Preserve open space and critical environmental areas. 7. Work with
regional partners and stakeholders to address growth collaboratively. The proposed map directly contradicts
each of these strategic initiatives previously outlined and adopted by the City. Transferring development rights
would remove the development pressure in this area and put the development more efficiently where
infrastructure already exists, and would greatly expand economic development opportunities...in the right
places. The proposed future land uses are inconsistent with the priorities and actions of the neighboring
jurisdictions of Salt Lake County and North Salt Lake, which have and continue to expand habitat preservation
in this ecologically sensitive area. Air Quality (Plan Salt Lake, page 25) Initiatives: 1. Reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. 8. Incorporate climate adaptation strategies into City planning processes. 9. Ensure local industries
meet stringent environmental standards. The proposed map directly contradicts each of these strategic
initiatives previously outlined and adopted by the City. Urban sprawl, including industrial sprawl, is the
antithesis of smarth growth and good planning. I shared a book with Nick Tarbet that highlights how compact
development, incorporating the use of transferring development rights and limiting sprawl, is one of the MOST
important climate planning and adaptation strategies that exists.

11/14/2023 13:22 Soren Simonsen 2/3 CONTINUED!! Please Revise the Map in the
Northpoint Small Area Plan Prior to Adoption
There are no stringent environmental standards in the current draft plan, and developing intensive industrial
uses in an ecologically sensitive area is the exact opposite of best practices for environmental standards as
outlined by the U.S. Green Building Council, the American Planning Association, and Congress for the New
Urbanism, the leading smart planning organizations in the country. Just this morning, the Salt Lake Tribune
published a heartbreaking story of the air quality environmental injustices imposed on Salt Lake City's west
side for more than a century, and this map will expand and perpetuate this environmental injustice. Natural
Environment (Plan Salt Lake, page 27) Initiatives: 1. Preserve natural open space and sensitive areas to sustain
biodiversity and ecosystem functions through: - Restoration of natural lands and critical habitat; -
Implementation and promotion of best practices in management and stewardship or natural lands; -
Restoration of aquatic and riparian corridors and habitats (including daylighting of streams and water
corridors); and - Reduction in habitat fragmentation. 2. Protect water quality and supply by: - Preserving and
expanding acreage of property critical to watershed protection; - Protecting ground water sources. The
proposed map directly contradicts each of these strategic initiatives previously outlined and adopted by the
City. The delta area of the Jordan River and shorelands of Great Salt Lake are among the most important, and
threatened, parts of the Great Salt Lake ecosystem. The Northpoint Small Area Plan is surrounded on the west
and northeast by ecological preserves, and this map represents the epitome of further habitat fragmentation
by extending industrial sprawl into this sensitive area. Additionally, the watershed protection of source water
and groundwater in the Great Salt Lake shorelands are as critical to wildlife and human health as is the source
watershed areas in the Wasatch Mountains. We wouldn't dream of filling our canyons with industrial
development. We should not settle for any less for the Great Salt Lake shoreland areas. The tools to protect,
preserve and restore this area in the long term are already contained in the Plan. They are just not reflected in
the current map. Beautiful City (Plan Salt Lake, page 31) Initiatives: 3. Identify, preserve, and enhance view
corridors and vistas, including views of natural lands around and within the City. 7. Reinforce and preserve
neighborhood and district character and a strong sense of place. 10. Develop landscapes that reflect our
geographic region. 11. Create opportunities to connect with nature in urban areas. 12. Reinforce the
development of a connected green network of urban open spaces and forest that accommodates active
transportation and provides contact with nature. The proposed map directly contradicts each of these
strategic initiatives previously outlined and adopted by the City. The shorelands and habitat areas of the Great
Salt Lake are as important vistas as the Wasatch Mountains, as the most character defining geographic
features of our region.
11/14/2023 13:22 Soren Simonsen 3/3 CONTINUED!! Please Revise the Map in the
Northpoint Small Area Plan Prior to Adoption
Harming these vistas with industrial sprawl will do irreparable harm to these landscapes, and will further limit
access to important areas for conservation and education, in connection with nature. Finally, Plan Salt Lake
contains recommendations for important tools to implement these initiatives of our shared community vision.
Page 45 explicitly recommends Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) as an important tool, which has been
effectively used in communities across the state. Conservative Utah County has adopted TDR in its zoning code
to protect natural and cultural resources. Salt Lake City needs and deserves this valuable tool. It is already
referenced in the Northpoint Small Area Plan...it is just not reflected as a priority in the Vision Map. And it
should be. Please find attached a map that every major environmental organization in Salt Lake City has
endorsed or supported as a more effective way to implement Salt Lake City's broad vision in this specific area.
I urge you to incorporate this map into the final plan prior to adoption. Thank you - Soren Simonsen

11/14/2023 13:32 Steven Keyser Clarification / Amendment Re Northpoint Plan
Dear Salt Lake City Counsel: We are commercial developers and have a lease option on 2601N 2200W (15ac west side of
2200W), currently zoned BP. In July 2020 a conditional use was approved for our Moonlake Farms. Having read the staff
reports and Northpoint Plan I have several concerns. 1. Northpoint Map Identifying "open space" around Rudy Canal. The
Rudy Canal has not been maintained for over 100 yrs. As such, in certain areas in some spring-runoff, there is temporary
flooding of some private property. Repairing the Rudy Ditch walls will eliminate the seasonal flooding. We expect to do
this. Any subdivision plat will require a wetlands survey. The survey will conclusively identify any actual wetlands on the
property vs property flooded due to the unmaintained Rudy Canal. However, the Northpoint map identifies "open space"
next to as-yet unconfirmed wetlands. This is error that could and likely will create confusion and substantial, expensive
delays from the SLC planning department when we apply for a subdivision plat. Should planning need clarification when we
apply for subdivision, we will see delay. Should planning need Northpoint plat amendments to fix - again, expensive, delay.
I can see a situation where our wetland survey identifies no wetlands but planning refuse to proceed until the so called
"open space" on the Northpoint map is clarified by SLC counsel. All of this is unnecessary as every subdivision application
will require a wetland survey and the survey will identify wetlands, and if they exist, then open space may be created if
new code requires. Although, in our case, we are already zoned BP, and adding setbacks to existing zones would seem to
create a legal taking issue. Take home: Identifying "open space" on a map where the wetlands have not yet been
designated by an actual wetlands survey creates unnecessary problems, costs and delays that are easily resolved by
wetland survey, already required by subdivision application. New Open Space designations should be removed from the
Northpoint map - particularly around the Rudy Canal. 2. Reading the Northpoint Plan and staff reports, it is entirely unclear
what will happen to already commercially zoned BP property. Without clear guidance in the plan, the plan becomes a
cloud on the title of every property owner. Adding setbacks to the existing BP zoned property, would seem to be a taking
issue. It is unclear from my read if we can apply for subdivision under the existing BP uses, or if the lack of clarification for
treatment of already commercially zoned property will simply delay a subdivision application, adding substantial expense
and need for clarification when we apply for subdivision application. Absent clarification now, it would seem the Planning
Department has no clear guidance on this issue. Take home: clarifying language regarding how existing BP land will be
treated is necessary to provide Planning guidance and avoid substantial delay and expense. Will a subdivision application
of already zoned BP property be subject to substantial delay and cost until the "new" northpoint BP zone language is
adopted? This could take years... Thank you for your consideration Steven Keyser

Planning Commission. I strongly believe in equal representation from each City District on both the Historic
Landmark Commission and Planning Commissions. I note with distinction that D6 position has not been filled
for a year, despite 2 applications. Both Turner Bitten (already appointed), and Landon Kraczek (before you for
approval tonight, Nov 14) are currently both serving on the Glendale Community Council Board, as Chair and
Secretary, respectively. My questions 1. Planning CommissionIs it acceptable to have current Community
Council Board members serve simultaneously on the Planning Commission? Is that a conflict of interest? 2.
While a City District may be represented by 2 Commissioners (Christensen and Tuttle D1), (Scheer and Gayle
D4) is it acceptable to have 2 Board members from the SAME Community Council (Glendale Community
Council) serve simultaneously with the same term on the Planning Commission? Could that be considered to
be over-representation from 1 specific Community Council of our City? Both Christensen and Tuttle both from
D1 and Bree Scheer and Gayle from D4 to my knowledge don’t BOTH serve on the same Community Council
and have different term dates. Curious about representation on our City Commissions Lynn K. Pershing D6

I wouold like to know if there has been any attention paid to the presentation by Kem C Gardner Housing
Analyst James Woods on 10/10/23 SC Work Session. The data and financial information presented a solution
to the afforable housing crisis which focused on citizens rather than developers and builders. This is not some
hairbrain scheme, it has been implemented with great success in Massachusetts and even has an on-going
funding plan. I find Woods' solutions to be democratic, compelling and foreward thinking. Please take time to
review the video as I have several times and read his study carefully.
11/14/2023 18:39 Kathy Adams James Wood summary on the website is

Who wrote this summary of Wood's presentation? This is NOT what Wood said at all! https://housing-

James Wood, Ivory-Boyer Senior Fellow at the Kem. C. Gardner Policy Institute. The presentation included a
few key takeaways: Utah’s economy is strong, and wages are growing. However, homebuilding will likely slow
down due to inflation and continued high interest rates. This will worsen the housing affordability crisis as
there is not enough housing supply to meet the demand of our growing City.

11/15/2023 9:50 Marsha Thatcher AHI - Affordable Housing Incentives City Council: After reading over the District 6 email news regarding AHI, I find it disturbing that you as
members are still pushing and supporting density for our SLC neighborhoods outside of the downtown area.
All of us who live in the City do so because we love the feel of the City. We are close to downtown and the
University of Utah and other educational institutions, yet we take extreme pride and satisfaction in keeping
our neighborhoods beautiful, well-maintained and free from cars lining the streets to park in the residences.
Of course there are some cars parked on the streets, but are sparse compared to downtown neighborhoods.
We feel very strongly and passionately that our City neighborhoods outside of the downtown area be kept
with mostly single family homes. There is no place for 4 plexes in our serene areas. They would crowd the lots,
bring many more vehicles to the same size street, and create additional noise by the vastly increased number
of people living in these multiple resident places. There are duplexes In our neighborhoods on oversized lots
now. We adamantly oppose changing the zoning to adding more than that in our areas. We chose forty plus
years ago to live in our neighborhood when we could have easily moved south in the suburbs and had more
house for the money. We chose then and would now to have well established, friendly, well maintained single
family homes in our area. To keep Salt Lake City a livable city we need to keep dense housing in the downtown
area where it belongs NOT expand it out to our single family home areas and send those of us out of them
because they become stressful, noisy congested streets which they are not designed for or desired from all of
us who live in them. We implore you, as our representatives, to keep multi family structures packed on regular
sized lots out of our City neighborhoods. Please keep dense housing downtown or west of the city where there
is empty ground. Our city neighborhoods, outside of downtown, deserve the respect and attention from you
to keep them liveable, walkable, friendly ones, not congested, stressful, unpleasant places. Salt Lake City is a
special place where neighbors work together and watch out for each other. Please don’t change that. Long
time Salt Lake City resident, Marsha Thatcher

11/15/2023 9:51 Caitlin Fellows HUD Public Comments Submission Dear Salt Lake City Council Members, I would like to submit a public comment on the topic of the 2023-2024
U.S. Housing and Urban Development General Community Development Needs Annual Public Hearing. Our
organization had hoped to join the meeting this evening but will be unable to attend due to scheduling
conflicts. We are grateful for the opportunity to submit a comment on behalf of the needs of the community
we serve for the council's review. Since 1994, the International Rescue Committee in Salt Lake City (IRC SLC)
has resettled over 12,000 refugees and has continued to implement high-impact programs to support the
successes of refugees and new Americans. IRC SLC works to maintain and bolster over 20 culturally responsive
and linguistically accessible programs, including the Digital Inclusion program, which provides opportunities
for refugees and new Americans to access digital tools and the skills needed to operate them, in order to
positively impact their efforts toward economic stability and upward mobility. The digital divide is one of many
challenges facing refugee and new American communities striving for social, economic, and civic success.
Digital Inclusion is a community development need that is central to refugee integration. Without essential
digital skills, many refugees and new Americans struggle to access virtual healthcare services, apply for jobs,
bank online, and so much more. In an increasingly digital world, access to affordable broadband and digital
skills are a basic need. Refugee and new American families are disproportionately affected by a lack of access
to devices and reliable and affordable internet connection due to the high costs, and language barriers, thus
culturally relevant technology access and support are critical for all refugees and new Americans. As a result of
IRC SLC’s Digital Inclusion (DI) Program refugee and new American participants gain the knowledge and skills
needed to navigate a digital world with confidence. This includes basic digital literacy skills, access to digital
tools such as a computer, smartphone, and affordable internet service. The IRC SLC DI Program also fosters
safe, enriching learning environments where refugees and new Americans can develop the attitudes,
successes, and curiosity needed to be lifetime learners and users of technology. IRC SLC is deeply grateful for
the past support provided through CDBG funding made available by Salt Lake City to sustain and expand
programming efforts to ensure refugees and new Americans are able to fully navigate life in our city. Year over
year, CDBG funding has been made available and prioritized for this purpose, and we look forward to the
opportunity to partner with the city again in 2024 to maintain this vital resource for our newest neighbors. If
Salt Lake City Council or others have questions about the work of IRC SLC, our digital inclusion program, or
would like to connect further, please do not hesitate to reach us by email or by phone1. Thanks, Caitlin Fellows

On behalf of Housing Connect, I would like to thank the Salt Lake City Council for the opportunity to comment
on the housing and community development needs of Salt Lake City residents. Housing Connect, previously the
Housing Authority of the County of Salt Lake, is a public housing authority that has operated in Salt Lake County
since 1970. We function as an affordable housing developer and property manager for properties around the
valley, and also administer rental assistance through programs such as Housing Choice Vouchers (HCV) and
Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS (HOPWA). Though we serve the whole county, many of our
programs operate in Salt Lake City and we have received HOPWA funding from Salt Lake City since 2004. As
such, we have seen firsthand the housing needs facing Salt Lake City residents, in particular the need for
affordable rental housing, rental assistance, and barrier removal assistance to secure affordable housing.
As part of the House Bill 462 in 2022, the Department of Workforce Service (DWS) commissioned the Gardner
Policy Institute (GPI) to develop a database of moderate and affordable housing needs and support across Utah.
The data showed a deficit for 174,664 households at 60% AMI and below, 106,650 affordable units were
available, or 61 affordable units were available for every 100 households, a total cumulative deficit of 68,014
units. There were 35 units available for every 100 households for those with incomes at 50% AMI and below,
creating a deficit of approximately 95,586 units for the group. This figure also includes the deficit of 77,140
estimated for those households with incomes at 30% AMI or below. In 2022, only 3 affordable units were
available for every 100 households with incomes at 30% AMI and below. The GPI data shows Salt Lake County
has the greatest imbalance for the 30% AMI and below population.
Housing Connect operates over 3,800 vouchers for rental assistance and over the last few years we have seen
both an increased need for vouchers and an increased difficulty in utilizing these vouchers. HCV is Housing
Connect’s largest voucher program. Currently 6,776 households are on the waiting list for HCV assistance and
the expected wait time for a household to come off the waiting list and receive a voucher is five to six years. On
all our rental assistance programs, we are seeing the same trends: rising rents, a lack of affordable units for low-
to extremely-low-income households, and a high need for rental assistance to mitigate these obstacles.
In addition to our HCV program, Housing Connect operates several programs that serve specific populations
paired with supportive services to meet their needs, such as the HOPWA program. The HOPWA program wait list
has been holding steady at around 50 households, often more, for the last three years, demonstrating the high
need for this program in our community. However, even when a household is brought onto the program from
the waitlist, they often struggle to find a unit due to high rents and low vacancy rates throughout the city and
county. The average rental assistance payment for the HOPWA program is currently $880 and will likely only rise
in the coming year. The HOPWA program provides housing to vulnerable, extremely low-income households in
Salt Lake City, enabling them to be better able to afford and maintain medical treatments. It is a vital resource
and to meet the needs of Salt Lake City residents, the HOPWA program will require additional funding to
support rising rent costs for current program participants and be able to bring new households onto the
program.
Once again, we extend our deepest gratitude to the Salt Lake City Council for the opportunity to share these
comments, and for their continued support of our HOPWA program. We also thank them for the work they do
all year long to support important projects that improve the lives of Salt Lake City residents.
With gratitude,
Janice Kimball

Salt Lake City Council
PO Box 145476
Salt Lake City, UT 84114-5476
Dear Salt Lake City Council,
The Road Home appreciates the opportunity to provide comment on the 2023-2024
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) General Community
Development Needs for Salt Lake City. We know the Council receives ongoing
feedback about community needs throughout the year and sincerely appreciate the
ability to provide input.
Our community is facing unprecedented rates of homelessness and housing
instability due to ever increasing rental rates and low vacancy across Salt Lake City.
The HUD funding included in this public hearing is dedicated to serving a variety of
needs, all of which are necessary to helping low-income families and individuals
access critical services and supports throughout the year to increase their self-
sufficiency.
We would highly recommend that the Council consider prioritizing homeless services
as it has in recent years, including operational funding for homeless resource centers
and street outreach programs, housing assistance for literally homeless households,
and supportive services, including case management, for households experiencing
homelessness or in housing programs. These are eligible activities within CDBG,
ESG, and HOME regulations and are crucial to ensuring we can help stabilize some
of our community's most vulnerable households, reducing the trauma associated with
experiencing homelessness.
Affordable housing development is another critical priority for the Council's
consideration, as there is a substantial lack of housing units available in Salt Lake
City for those at or below 40% of Area Median Income (AMI). Both of these areas
align with the objectives outlined in Housing SLC, Salt Lake City's plan to guide
housing-related efforts over the next five years.
Thank you for your consideration of our recommendations and input - we know as the
Council, you must balance a number of competing needs and interests across Salt
Lake City with this funding and appreciate your dedication to helping our community
end homelessness.
Sincerely,
Michelle C. Flynn
Executive Director

10/12/2023 10:36 Anonymous Constituent 754 S. State Rezone I believe that an update should be provided on the status of this rezone. In past meetings it seemed like the
rezoning was moving at a consistent pace but now it seems to have stalled. Hearings have been held and
comment gathered, the request for this rezone was filed almost a year ago. Why is there no progress on a
formal decision? I work in the viscinity of this lot and my industry would benefit greatly from an urban hospital
on this block.10/13/2023 15:57 Beth Blattenberger lack of digestible information Could you please, please, please provide information in an easy-to-read-and-understand way that makes clear
what would happen where? The summary does not give a clue to what would happen in my neighborhood.
What are the criteria for allowing 4-pleses and other multi-family units? Does faster permitting mean it's
harder for neighbors to provide timely comment? Are there any design guidelines? What is being done to
preserve the historic character of some neighborhoods? It should be easy to get answers to these questions. It
is not.10/13/2023 16:07 Jon Liddle Affordable Housing I want affordable housing too. Produce and preserve make sense but have concerns about the direction the
City is heading. Two points: 1 - Eviction is not a displacement. Its an inability to pay what the homeowner
wants to charge. When the government tries to take over the market, its never good. 2 - Rent stablization
sounds like rent control. Do not use tax dollars to fight what is an market problem. Increase the supply by
approving housing projects as you have been in Sugarhouse, downtown, North Temple, and along trax lines.
Smart! Imposing new forms of rent control should not be an option. 3 - Do not allow townhouses or 4 unit
buildings in single family zones.
10/15/2023 9:19 Aaron Benson Affordable housing initiative I am writing in support of the new affordable housing initiative. SLC doesn't have enough housing, and
upzoning, or easing restrictions on what kinds of housing can be built throughout the city, is the only way to
incentivize enough development to bring down prices. I especially appreciate the change to allow more dense
housing in R1-zones neighborhoods. Recent experience in Minneapolis and Houston demonstrates that
upzoning residential neighborhoods can have a significant effect on mitigating home and rental prices. Thank
you for considering simple, appropriate, and effective changes that can benefit our city. Please be mindful in

Mormon. Also I might even go on to say that the governor of Utah should be a moron along with the state
legislative members and the judges of the Utah state courts. But since that would be illegal here in the United
States of America I guess the state of Utah would be in the wrong according to the federal law.
10/16/2023 10:54 Benjamin LaRiviere I support the affordable housing
incentives proposed
I wanted to submit a comment in support of the proposed affordable housing incentives. I think that we need
more housing and single family neighborhoods would benifit from having more missing middle housing. All of
the policies proposed seem reasonable.

10/16/2023 15:01 Anonymous Constituent I Cant Invest in My Future Generations before me were able to work hard, and turn that hard work into something that could build them
generational wealth. The long hours they put in paid off and they could buy homes and build equity. My
generation is unable to do so. I am a single 30 year old with a Masters degree, making considerably more than
both my parents did at my age. I work hard, continute to my community, have a good credit score and make
smart financial choices. However, in the current market I still cannot afford to own even the most modest
home. I am disheartened to see that my hard work cannot even come close to affording me a basic two
bedroom apartment on my own. Utah is a beautiful place that generations of my family have worked hard to
develop, raise families and build communities in. It is devestating to think I might have to leave it just to affird
to live. Something needs to be done. so that hard working, contributing members of my generation can
acheieve the American dream.
10/16/2023 17:03 Donald Shane Sadler Affordable housing We have enough housing units in Salt Lake City. There is never any talk of how water is going to be provided.
Also for some reason it has been deemed a good idea to get rid of most of the two-lane roads in favor of "bike
lanes and wider sidewalks". I guess those that make those decisions believe that all the new people who would
move in are not going to have cars. Let some other city take on some of the responsibility for affordable
housing and for the homeless. Would like to see it all out and finished. Shane Sadler

I have 33 unused Opening ceremony ticket and 32 unused Skate tickets and some Nagano Olympics tickets. My
Artist Friend Janet Manalo ( 3D sculptor) and I would like to create a sculpture of Olympic Memory with those
tickets and we would like to donate it to S.L. City. If you display it at the City Hall for good. Please let me if you
are interested. Thank you Nao Magami10/17/2023 8:47 Daniel Echeverria Rose Park Ln annexation Just a quick note about Rose Park Lane and the Hunter Stables development. I’m not sure if this is something
that’s already thought about, or not, but I wanted to be sure to say it. Regardless of where the Hunter Stables
developer ends up running their sewer line from, it ought to be mandatory that they install a sewer line large
enough that whatever happens in the future to the north of them on Rose Park Lane can tie into that line
without having to dig it up and replace it. Please let me know whether or not this is something that would
normally be considered prior to approving such a project, and if you can bring this information to the city
council members on our behalf. Thank you, Eric Porter

attachment 1
Members of the City Council: I am submitting the attached comments on behalf of the East Bench Community
Council. There are two additional points I'd also like to make. First, adoption of this proposal for properties now
zoned as "single family housing," is likely, over time, to result in a reduction of single family home ownership.
This result is not desirable for a healthy, liveable city. Second, to the extent adoption of this proposal results in
a reduction in the value of single family homes, it may constitute a government "taking" of property, like a
condemnation, for which the government could be required to compensate the homeowners. We urge you to
not adopt the AHI, as currently proposed. Thank you. David Leta, East Bench Community Council Board
Member and 2nd Vice Chair

10/17/2023 16:05 Jen S Oscarson Affordable Housing-East Bench Hello, I will not be able to attend the informational meeting tonight as I have to try and save our school from
being closed. That said I question: 1. What will the 4plexes do for neighborhoods that are historic districts? Are
we able to tear down and rebuild or would we just be able to reconfigure our current homes? 2. As far as
income restrictions-if left to the developer why wouldn't they make all the units market under the scenario
presented? a. The AHI plan grants developers the right to determine how many and what percentage of AMI
low income tenants will be allowed in their projects-seems to me as a developer of these small units (unless
developers group sites together for a larger development) there would be little to no incentive to build
affordable. I want more families to be able to live in Salt Lake and want to see this program work. I am
confused on the implementation and how this will allow for more affordability? Thanks, Jen Oscarson
10/17/2023 16:08 Lisette Gibson Changing SF Zoning on Affordable
Housing Incentives? DON'T VOTE YET -
PLEASE READ
Hello Councilmember Dugan and other Council Members, My husband and I have been residents of Salt Lake
City for 35+ years. I urge you to DELAY VOTING on any issues that impact CHANGES to the UNDERLYING
ZONING of SINGLE FAMILY Neighborhoods. Anything this critical and important should be EXPLAINED to
residents of Salt Lake City in smaller group settings. I would bet most residents don’t know anything about this
issue and will be blindsided if Townhouses or Cottage developments are allowed to be built in their
neighborhoods. These structures belong downtown or in outlying areas. All of Salt Lake City’s neighborhoods
are unique, special and a safe haven from the busyness of everyday life. I would bet they all contain many
duplexes that are currently affordable. My neighborhood has 52. We don’t need additional townhomes.
Multistory housing is being built all over Salt Lake City and allowing a few townhomes into Single Family areas
won’t help the housing problem. It will only harm the character and Stability of our precious neighborhoods. I
have been a community activist for years and have to admit I have not yet read the 89-page document
referenced on this issue. I haven’t had the time and would like the City to provide highlights, an outline of the
proposal or hold small meetings with Q&A time. We need these smaller events where the vision of the plan
can be explained to everyone. This has been done in years past. Thank you for considering my comments.

10/17/2023 16:10 Paula Harline Please vote against the AHI As long as the AHI promotes the elimination of single-family zoning, please vote against it. The August 7, 2023
"Letter of Transmittal" to the City Council by Blake Thomas, Director of the Department of Community and
Neighborhoods, shows clear evidence that our City leaders are ignoring the pleas of neighborhood councils
throughout the City and are instead listening to developers. As part of the required public process, Planning
staff visited neighborhood councils throughout the City where they heard the same concerns over and over.
According to the meeting summaries in the letter, no residents made positive comments about the proposed
zoning changes and all voiced significant worries. They are concerned about • • • 3-4 unit buildings blocking
views and destroying neighborhood character; • • • • surprise changes to neighborhoods, such as sudden
home demolitions; • • • • lack of parking; • • • • non-resident and out-of-state property developers and
owners who don’t live in or care • about the neighborhood; • • • • “affordable housing” that isn’t affordable,
and thus, doesn’t help solve the problem; • • • • zoning changes that should be tried out as a “smaller pilot
program” first, rather than • as a City-wide experiment. • By comparison, the letter also summarizes the needs
of “several affordable housing developers” who met with planning staff “to discuss issues and obstacles to
building affordable housing in the community and how zoning may be able to address them.” Note that
developers have pushed zoning changes to make their work easier and profitable. According to developers, • •
• They want “by-right processes,” meaning that zoning would be in place that allows them • to build without
getting “discretionary approval” for new builds, eliminating neighborhood discussion about change; • • • •
They want “form-based zoning districts,” meaning they want to build a simplified fourplex • facade that could
be built anywhere, without regard for differing land uses; • • • • They want to change the “density limits” in
single-family home (RMF) districts because • those limits make “development difficult,” and in fact, they asked
for incentives that would “encourage smaller developers to construct units in single-family zoning districts”; • •
• • They want “parking reductions”; • • • • They want incentives which would allow them “to construct more
units.” • A simple comparison between neighborhood concerns and developer concerns shows that City
leaders have prioritized developers' voices. I believe it's your job to stand up for neighborhoods, not
developers.10/17/2023 20:21 Justin Butterworth Affordable Housing Council
Comment/Formal Meeting
hi, for some reason my device will not let me speak. Affordable Housing Council feel we can an will raise funds
ongoing for Affordable Housing projects. Justin Butterworth.
The Board of the East Bench Community Council (EBCC) has reviewed the proposed Affordable
Housing Incentives (AHI) that are being recommended by the SLC Planning Commission
(Commission) to the Salt Lake City Council (Council) for adoption. While the EBCC agrees that
there is a need for more affordable housing throughout Salt Lake City, and that all districts
within the City have a shared responsibility to make such housing more available, we also think
that it is equally important to preserve the character, micro-culture and owner expectations of
the various diverse neighborhoods within the City. Moreover, not all neighborhoods have
equal access to mass transit or to connector and arterial roadways. Increasing density, without
appropriate infrastructure to support this higher density, is inviting failure.
Our concerns center on the Single-Family Incentives. Most of the residences and lots within
the EBCC district currently are zoned as "single family," namely, R-1/5,000, R-1/7,000, R-
1/12,000, and FR-1, FR-2, and FR-3. The AHI proposes to allow various types of non-single
family dwellings within these historically single family neighborhoods, including: (a) Two-
family, twin, or duplex homes; (b) 3-4 unit buildings – triplexes or fourplexes; (c) Townhouses,
or single family attached units, as sideways rowhouses or rowhouses in groups of 3-4; (d) A
second detached dwelling when an existing dwelling is maintained; and (e) Cottage
developments, which are single family homes in groups of two to eight that are generally
arranged in a courtyard layout. We oppose expansion options (b), (c) and (e) above in these
neighborhoods, especially because there is inadequate infrastructure for vehicles, pedestrians,
and cyclists to support the higher density that would result.
The city has four districts that generally allow two-family or duplex homes in addition to
single family homes. These are the R-2, SR-1, SR-1A, and SR-3 zoning districts. We believe that
a more reasonable, measured and accommodating approach, at this time, would be to only
allow expansion options (a) and (d) above within the current "single family" zones, and, in
addition, include the following restrictions to the extent those restrictions do not exist in the
AHI proposal : (1) at least one of the homes on the lot would have to be "owner occupied,”
unless the owner is the representative of an estate, LLC, partnership or trust, or a lender that
acquires the property through a foreclosure sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure, (2) existing set-
backs and height restrictions would have to be maintained, unless adjoining property owners,
including those immediately above and below the subject property, consent to a variance, (3)
existing parking requirements would be relaxed to permit on-street parking, and (4) one of
these units must be designated as an affordable unit and meet the affordability requirements
(See 21A.52.050.H.1.c.4 and Table 21A.52.050.G in Attachment A).
This modification has the following advantages over the current proposed AHI: (i) it
increases the stock of affordable housing, but not to an extreme; (ii) it is more consistent with
the existing character, culture, and expectations of current owners; (iii) it prevents existing
neighborhoods that are primarily owner-occupied homes from becoming primarily tenant
properties with absentee owners, and (iv) while increasing the burden on infrastructure, it does
not create an excessive burden.
Thus, we urge the Council to reject the AHI proposal in its current form, but support approval
of a modification to the AHI as indicated above.
