Darik Avak, Aziz Guzay, and Naomi (no last name), spoke regarding the current
conflict in Palestine. Comments included: the Council needing to represent their
residents by supporting a cease-fire, an ordinance or resolution was needed to end all
foreign aid to Israel, Egypt and any nations involved in the genocide, supporting a cease-
fire was needed to release hostages, atrocities were being committed in Palestine, lives
could be saved by setting a precedence that Salt Lake City stood with human rights, a
statement in support of Palestine from the Council would be meaningful and would set
an example for the way cities could use their platform to spread important messages, and
the Council had failed its constituents by continuing to fund the Israeli occupational
forces across seas.

accident, expressed appreciation to the Mayor for visiting the family member in the
hospital, and detailed ongoing issues/concerns with the Salt Lake City Engineering and

indigenous people and urged the Council to be on the right side of history.
C Brown spoke of appreciation to the community for coming out to speak/sharing their
voices and hoped the Council would listen and stand on the right side of history by calling
for a cease-fire in Gaza.
Council Member Petro took a moment of personal privilege and asked the community to
stay curious and invited them to consider what a cease-fire demand looked like (what
would be significant) to them and to provide the Council with suggestions, and
furthermore consider how would the Council still protect its constituents while staying on
the right side of history.

BRIEFING UPDATE
Much of the discussion at the January 9, 2024 briefing was focused on what community benefit would be
provided if the properties are rezoned. Affordable housing, family-sized units, and green space were among
the considerations Council Members suggested. The petitioner said they planned for market rate units but
would consider some affordable units. They noted that, given current market conditions, it may be years
before a project is developed on the parcels. They also discussed a multi-family project with 54 two-
bedroom units that is under construction on one of the parcels. This building is being constructed under
the existing RMU-45 zoning.
Some Council Members expressed concern with approving the zoning map amendment before more
information about what is planned for the site is provided.
The petitioner will provide more information to the Council after discussing it with the property owner and
other applicants.
The following information was provided for January 9, 2024 Council briefing. It is
included again for background purposes.
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for parcels at 357 East 500 South,
375 East 500 South, 464-466 South 400 East, and 460-462 South 400 East in City Council District Four
from their current RMU-45 (Residential/Mixed Use) zoning designation to TSA-UC-C (Transit Station

Area-Urban Center-Core). The proposed zoning would allow greater building height than the current
RMU-45 zoning.
Current zoning allows residential buildings up to 45 feet high (up to 55 feet through design review). The
proposed zoning allows buildings up to 90 feet, with potential for an additional story if the development
score qualifies for administrative review. Though plans have not been submitted, the petitioner’s stated
intent is to construct a mixed-use development with ground floor commercial and retail, with residential
uses above.
The four subject properties total approximately 1.28 acres and include one- and two-story buildings used
for commercial purposes. A single-story commercial building at 357 East 500 South was recently
demolished. In 2010 the Central Community Master Plan was amended with the block’s various land use
designations changing to “Civic/Mixed-Use.” Prior to that time the subject parcels were designated as
Residential/Office Mixed Use. A City initiated zoning map amendment was adopted in 2012 which changed
the zoning from RO (Residential/Office) to the current RMU-45.
Zoning on the block includes a mix of R-MU-45, TSA-UC-C, and PL-2 (Public Lands (the Public Safety
Building is west of the subject properties). Zoning on adjacent blocks consists of TSA-UN-C (Transit
Station Area - Urban Neighborhood – Core), RO, R-MU, and PL-2 as shown in the zoning map below.
Area zoning map with the subject property outlined in yellow.

The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed zoning map amendment during its September 13, 2023
meeting and held a public hearing at which two people spoke in support of the proposal. Planning staff
received email comments expressing concern with loss of mountain and downtown views, traffic, parking,
congestion, pollution, and construction issues. Planning staff recommended and the Commission
Page | 3
voted 8-1 to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council. The Commissioner who
voted against the motion did not state why he was opposed.
Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning map amendments, determine if the Council supports
moving forward with the proposal.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to ask the applicant if they plan to include any affordable housing in
potential future projects on the subject sites. If yes, is the Council interested in asking the applicant
if they would be willing to enter into a development agreement pertaining to affordable housing
units?
2. The Council may wish to ask the Administration how the Affordable Housing Incentives may
impact this petition or development potential on the property.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property. No formal site plan has been submitted
to the City nor is it within the scope of the Council’s authority to review the plans. Because zoning of a
property can outlast the life of a building, any rezoning application should be considered on the merits of
changing the zoning of that property, not simply based on a potential project.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Planning staff identified two key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 3-7 of the
Planning Commission staff report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the staff
report.
Consideration 1 - How the proposal helps implement City goals and policies identified in
adopted plans.
Planning staff found that the proposed zoning map amendment generally aligns with Plan Salt Lake, the
Central Community Master Plan, and Housing Salt Lake’s goals and initiatives. It would provide
redevelopment potential for additional density in an area with existing infrastructure and served by transit.
Consideration 2 – Compatibility with nearby properties.
It is Planning staff’s opinion that the proposed TSA-UC-C zoning is appropriate based on land to the north
of the Public Safety Building with the same zoning, and the site’s proximity to the Trax Library Station.
It should be noted that the current RMU-45 zoning requires one parking space per dwelling unit, and 1.5
spaces per 1,000 square feet for retail goods and services establishments. The proposed TSA-UC-C zoning
does not have a minimum parking requirement.
ZONING COMPARISON
The following table compares building height, setback, and other requirements for the current RMU-45
and proposed RMF-30 zoning districts.

that should be considered as the Council reviews this proposal. The standards and findings are summarized
below. Please see the Planning Commission staff report for additional information.
Page | 5
Factor Finding
Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent
with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of
the city as stated through its various adopted
planning documents.
Complies
Whether a proposed map amendment furthers the
specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance.
Complies
The extent to which a proposed map amendment will
affect adjacent properties
Complies
Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent
with the purposes and provisions of any applicable
overlay zoning districts which may impose additional
standards.
Complies
The adequacy of public facilities and services
intended to serve the subject property, including, but
not limited to, roadways, parks and recreational
facilities, police and fire protection, schools,
stormwater drainage systems, water supplies, and
wastewater and refuse collection.
Complies
City Department Review
During City review of the petitions, no responding departments or divisions expressed concerns with the
proposal, but stated additional review and permits would be required if the property is developed. The
Police Department said the current placement of communications antennas and dishes would not be
impacted by a new building at the subject location. The department wondered whether additional point-to-
point connections on a new building would be possible. Discussions about installing equipment on a new
building would not involve the City Council.

DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council amend the text of the zoning ordinance as
recommended by the Planning Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The applicant, Zachary Jones of Cowboy Partners, on behalf
of the property owners, is requesting a Zoning Map amendment for the properties at approximately
357 E 500 S, 375 E 500 S, 464-466 S 400 E, and 460-462 S 400 E. The applicant is requesting a
Zoning Map amendment to change the zoning of the parcels from the RMU-45 (Residential/Mixed
Use) to the TSA-UC-C (Transit Station Area – Urban Center – Core) zoning district. Future
development plans were not submitted with the application. The applicant’s anticipated use of the
site is for ground floor retail with residential units above the first floor.
The four properties are approximately 1.28 acres, or 55,750 sq. ft. The existing properties are
occupied by 1-2 story buildings with commercial uses. The land use designation for the property
is Civic/Mixed Use. A city initiated zoning map amendment adopted in 2012 for the 400 South
Livable Communities changed the zoning of the property from RO (Residential/Office) to RMU-
45 (PLNPCM2010-00647). The proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with the existing
rachel otto (Oct 17, 2023 11:38 MDT)10/17/2023
10/17/2023
land use designation. The 357 E 500 S site was the subject of PLNPCM2021-01109 and
PLNPCM2021-01150, a Planned Development and Design Review approved by the Planning
Commission in March 2022. There is a building permit in for review for this approval.
Zoning map with subject properties outlined in yellow
The zoning on the adjacent properties is a mix of districts:
North: RMU-45, occupied by a two-story commercial building
South: RO, occupied by a two-story commercial building
East: TSA-UN-C, occupied by a three-story commercial building, rezoned from RMU-
45 to TSA-UN-C in 2021 with PLNPCM2020-00804
West: PL-2, Public Safety Building
The existing and proposed zoning districts permit the anticipated use for the subject properties –
a mixed use building with retail on the first floor and residential units on the upper floors. There
are several differences as follows:
• The RMU-45 zoning district is designed for urban neighborhoods where there is a
mix of uses, and the TSA zoning districts are located around light rail transit stations.
The Urban Center Core area has a specific emphasis on the proximity to a transit
station and supporting rather than competing with downtown.
• The RMU-45 (Residential/Mixed Use) zoning district is within Chapter 24:
Residential Districts in the city’s zoning ordinance, and the TSA-UC-C (Transit
Station Area – Urban Center – Core) zoning district is within Chapter 26:
Commercial Districts. This results in a wider range of permitted and conditional uses
in the TSA-UC-C zoning district compared to the RMU-45 zoning district. This is
detailed in Attachment D of the staff report to the Planning Commission.
• The proposed TSA-UC-C zoning district allows for greater height than the existing
zoning district, approximately three additional stories. The RMU-45 zoning district
permits 45’ in building height by right. An additional 10’ can be requested and is
reviewed through the Design Review process. The previously reviewed proposal
requested an additional 5’ through the Planned Development process for a total of
60’. The proposed TSA-UC-C zoning district allows for 90’ by right and an
additional story can be added when a proposal meets the administrative review
requirements during the TSA Review process. The same as in the RMU-45 zoning
district, an additional 5’ could be added through the Planned Development process.
• Both zoning districts have smaller setbacks typical for urban neighborhoods. There
are minimum open space requirements for both zoning districts and these spaces can
be in plazas or courtyards. TSA-Core zoning districts do not have a minimum
parking requirement and the RMU-45 zoning district requires 1 space per dwelling
unit and 1.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. for retail goods and services establishments. The
two zoning districts have extensive design standards. The TSA standards are more
restrictive compared to the RMU-45 standards. Less EIFS is permitted, durable
materials are required on upper floors, trees are required in yards greater than 10’,
building entrances are required more frequently, and there is a limit on the building
length.
With the rezoning in 2012, the RMU-45 zoning district was established based on the existing and
anticipated development in the area. Over the intervening years, significant development has
occurred on 400 South and adjacent areas. In this case, the proposed TSA-UC-C zoning district
is appropriate for the subject properties based on the existing TSA-UC-C zoned land to the north
of the public safety building parking area and the site’s proximity to the Trax Library Station.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing to discuss the proposal on September 13, 2023.
Two members of the public spoke in support of the proposal. The Planning Commission voted
to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council by a vote of 8-1.
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 submitted:
• June 15, 2023 – The Central City Community Council was sent the 45-day required notice
for recognized community organizations. Staff did not receive a response.
• June 15, 2023 - Property owners and residents within 300 feet of the development were
provided early notification of the proposal. Staff received a number of comments related
to the proposal. Most comments were not in support of the request. The concerns
expressed related to loss of mountain and downtown views, traffic, parking, congestion,
pollution, and issues with construction.
• June-September 2023 – The project was posted to the Online Open House webpage.
Notice of the public hearing for the proposal included:
• August 31, 2023
o Public hearing notice sign posted on the property
• August 31, 2023

Subject:(EXTERNAL) Re: SLC - Planning Commission meeting info
Date:Tuesday, September 12, 2023 12:22:33 PM
Sara here are my additional comments
Please deny any zoning changes I STRONGLY oppose
After reviewing factors and standards I think it is a huge stretch to say these zoning changes comply with
proposed standards
For example
A. Lessen congestion in the streets or roads;
The rapid explosion of apartment development is mind boggling and the current road structure will not support
this rapid development. This will increase congestion and lower quality of living in downtown SLC
B. Secure safety from fire and other dangers;
I am seeing buildings being built within 10 feet of each other which increases fire danger and decreases Safety
in the event of adverse weather or other adverse events
C. Provide adequate light and air;
This will destroy And completely block my homes current view and create a claustrophobic environment of
living in between apartment complexes than are visually unappealing and high enough to block open city line
and Mountain View’s
D. Classify land uses and distribute land development and utilization;
Residential development is not being balanced with other uses such as arts and entertainment, eating
establishments and businesses . If we allow this type of development to continue we are going end up with a
congested downtown community that is near impossible travel around and have no place to go. It will not be
and enjoyable place to live
F. Secure economy in governmental expenditures;
The recent Covid Pandemic has created a false sense of residential demand as many people relocated from
larger city regions to smaller cities. Now that pandemic has lessoned many small cities are seeing an exodus of
people that are now relocating back to the larger city regions creating a real estate crises and other economic
problems. Blindly trying to meet a false increased demand will not secure our city economy and will devastate
my homes value
G. Foster the city's industrial, business and residential development; and
See comments comments above for item D
H. Protect the environment.
City developers need to pause and consider climate Issues that will be devastating and must be faced now
Examples include our embarrassing air quality we endure by living here and the diminishing great salt lake
which has the potential to become and environmental disaster that will make this area uninhabitable
Please block this zoning change
Sincerely
Heath Harris

Heath,
As we discussed, here’s the page to find out more about the Planning Commission meeting:
https://www.slc.gov/planning/public-meetings/planning-commission-agendas-minutes/. If
you go to page 21 of the staff report there are “factors” on the left and those are the standards
that the Planning Commission considers. Comments relating to those are most helpful.
The agenda has the links to the YouTube video and SLCtv. It’s live on those two platforms.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
When the Salt Lake City Council (the Council) adopted the Library’s FY24 budget, the Library
was informed that the new growth used in projecting property taxes revenues would generate
about $200,000 more than the estimate used in preparing the budget. In addition, the amount
allowed for the judgment levy was $193,000 higher than was budgeted. The Council adopted the
higher amounts, which allowed the $393,000 difference to go to the Library’s fund balance.
Given the additional property tax revenue anticipated in FY24, Administration is proposing
amendments to the FY24 budget for the following items, totaling $229,670. The following memo
provides additional detail and information on this item.

From: Deborah Ehrman, Interim Executive Director
Re: Budget Amendment 1 for FY2023-24
When the Salt Lake City Council (the Council) adopted the Library’s FY24 budget, the Library was
informed that the new growth used in projecting property taxes revenues would generate about
$200,000 more than the estimate used in preparing the budget. In addition, the amount allowed for the
judgment levy was $193,000 higher than was budgeted. The Council adopted the higher amounts,
which allowed the $393,000 difference to go to the Library’s fund balance.
The Board may recall that the FY24 budget included a three percent total increase for longevity and
COLA. In addition, the percent increase used to budget the employee health insurance was about half
of the actual percent increase once quotes were received.
Given the additional property tax revenue anticipated in FY24, Administration is proposing amendments
to the FY24 budget for the following items:
1. An additional one percent increase to the COLA amount for all Library employees and an
adjustment in the employee health insurance rate to reflect the actual increase. The cost of
these two adjustments would be $166,240.
2. An increase of one FTE for the Safety team. The Library is experiencing a significant increase in
the number of safety related incidents across the system, and branches have expressed a need
for additional support from the Safety team. The cost of one additional safety associate would
be $63,430.

RE: Budget Amendment #3
of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024
NEW INFORMATION
At the January 16 briefing, the Council received a General Fund revenues update from the Finance Department. As
of November, sales tax revenues are $3 million below budget projections. Sales tax receipts have a two-month delay
between the purchase and the revenue coming in. The Council reviewed all remaining items proposed by the
Administration. At the January 16 formal meeting, the Council adopted most remaining items except for two items
(A-10 and A-12) that had follow up questions. Additional information responding to Council Member questions on
these two items is shown below. There is also a follow up item to release funds from an existing holding account to
support the temporary sanctioned campground which is shown as item I-2 below. The Council may vote on some or
all these three items at the February 6 formal meeting.
A-10: Downtown Parking Pay Station Replacements ($135,993 from General Fund Balance)
Administration Responses to Council Follow Up Questions
Below are the Council’s follow up questions from earlier briefings and the Administration’s responses:
Question: How will the public, downtown businesses, and other organizations learn about the new parking pay
stations?
Response: The vendor will assist the City in producing an information campaign that will inform users of
changes. This will occur both online and in person.
Question: Will the existing ParkSLC mobile app continue or would a new app be needed?
Response: At this time ParkSLC will continue to be used. Both the app vendor and the pay station vendor
have assured us that an integration is possible between the two systems, just like the one that exists now. It is
possible in the future the City may explore other app options, but there are no immediate plans to so.
Question: Would the new stations allow the City to improve parking demand management practices? Would
additional funding be needed for some technology features not currently expected to be included in the new kiosks
but would be beneficial for the City? (For example, variable pricing during peak hours, paying for shorter or longer
time periods, real-time information on where parking spaces are available (public and private), reservation-based
parking spaces, vending zones like food trucks, and supporting the potential pedestrianization of closing Main Street
during certain times).
Response: The selection committee strongly desired to future proof the pay stations and thus special attention
was given to all aspects of this question. The potential new stations have the capability to have a variable rate
structure, paying for shorter or longer time periods, and the vending zone mentioned. They can also support
providing regional information (items of interest nearby), advertising (events, local businesses, etc.) payment
of parking citations, and sale and reloading of public transportation cards. It is expected that current practices

Items: December 12, 2023
3rd Briefing: January 9, 2024
4th Briefing and Adopted Some Items: January 16, 2024
5th Briefing: February 6, 2024 and Potential Vote
Potential Action: February 6, 2024
for reserving a parking spot will continue. (User will need to request a reservation from Transportation, and
the meter spot will then be bagged.)
There is no additional funding anticipated for any of these services as the contract with the vendor provides
support services that would be utilized as decisions are made to implement the parking management
practices.
There is the option to purchase an occupation module with a web portal as well as pollution sensors that could
be installed on each pay station. The stations could also be upfitted to manage electrical car charging at
additional costs.
Question: Is information available about what percentage of users interact with kiosks vs the parking app? Other
metrics about also be useful context for the Council to consider this funding request. Council Member Puy
mentioned during the briefing that some cities have no physical kiosks so all customers use the app. Has that option
been explored and are there pros and cons that could be shared?
Response: In 2022 Transportation commissioned a parking study performed by an outside party. This study
found that 41%-60% is the pay-by-app share of transactions for most pay stations. Due to this variance, the
plan is to only remove about 10 pay stations or so. However, Transportation is hoping to slightly expand the
footprint of paid parking spots, thus the net change will be negligible. While app usage is increasing, there are
still enough cash/card transactions carried out at the pay stations to retain them. Pay stations also ensure
equity of access to parking for those who prefer to use cash, or don’t want to use the app. The study also found
that the average number of transactions in 2022 per pay station was 3,015.
Parking Meter Study and Two New Attachments
The Public Services Department and Transportation Division shared two new attachments that informed this budget
request: Attachment 3 is a Salt Lake City Metered Parking Analysis Executive Summary Presentation, and
Attachment 4 is the final report from November 2022. The study raises several policy topics for possible future
consideration such as:
- Expanding parking meters in new areas,
o In the short-term possible west downtown, Station Center, Granary District, Central Ninth, parts of
Central City,
o In the medium-term the Sugar House business district),
- Updating the fee schedule and fines including potentially new zones with different fees and rate structures
- Changing time limits, reducing free parking times, and increasing days of the week and time of the day for
enforcement, and
- New policies for special events and special overlay areas.
The Council may wish to consider scheduling a separate briefing on the parking meters study findings.
A-12: A-12: Police Officer Overtime Related to the Sanctioned Campground Pilot Program
($500,000 from ARPA Funds Unused in Prior Fiscal Years)
In response to Council questions about where police officers are located during overtime shifts related to the
temporary sanctioned campground, the Police Department clarified that officers “are in the surrounding area of the
sanctioned campground including the area of the downtown security initiative. Officers are not staffed inside the
sanctioned campground but will respond to calls for service inside the sanctioned campground as needed.”
The Council also asked for information about the Department’s overtime budget, vacancy savings, and personnel
services budget. The Department responded that actual expenses for overtime are nearly $2.8 million so far in
FY2024 which exceeds the $1.8 million overtime budget. Note there is a related $1.8 million request in Budget
Amendment #4 for police officer overtime. The Department stated that the personnel services budget numbers will
be available later because of pending financial system report validations.
I-2: General Operations Support for the Temporary Sanctioned Campground ($500,000 from
Nondepartmental Holding Account)
This is a follow up item to release $500,000 to the State for general operations at the temporary sanctioned
campground (not reimbursement for specific incurred expenses). The total estimated cost to operate the
campground is $860,000 from December through April. Note that the $860,000 operating cost doesn’t include the
City’s expenses to prepare the site to host the campground such as utility upgrades and the State’s cost to purchase
the Foldum micro shelter units. The campground is anticipated to operate until April 30, 2024. The State is
evaluating ongoing funding options and preparing a permanent location for the campground several blocks away
from the temporary site.
FY2024 Conditional Appropriation Ordinance Text
The Council previously put $1.5 million from the General Fund into a holding account for potential expenses related
to the temporary sanctioned campground. All those funds remain in the holding account. The Council included the
below conditional appropriation language in the FY2024 annual budget adoption ordinance. The Council could vote
on this condition being satisfied and releasing $500,000 from the holding account at the February 6 formal meeting.
“Conditional Appropriation -- Sanctioned Camping Catalytic Grant Fund – $500,000 for sanctioned
camping/RV parking into a holding account, pending future discussion with Administration, fact-finding on
best practices from other cities, and local and State considerations.”
Policy questions:
➢Additional Funding Needs – The Council may wish to ask the Administration whether additional funding
requests related to the temporary sanctioned campground are anticipated.
➢Coordinating Closure of Temporary Site and Opening of Permanent Campground – The Council may wish to
ask the Administration what preparations are underway to coordinate tenants moving from the temporary
site to the State’s permanent campground.
Information below was provided to the Council at earlier briefings
At the January 9 briefing, the Council discussed the modified proposal for item A-1 from the Fire Department which
requests four civilian single-role paramedics. The Council took a unanimous straw poll in support of the proposal.
Item A-1 has a related resolution that would request admission to the Tier 2 Firefighters Retirement System for
emergency medical personnel including paramedics and social workers. The retirement system resolution and the
budget adoption ordinance will be listed separately on the formal meeting agenda for individual votes.
The Finance Department has provided a General Fund revenues update presentation that will be given at the
January 16 briefing. Council Members had requested the update as context to consider the remaining items in
Budget Amendment #3. On January 16, the Council will continue reviewing items that were not yet discussed at
earlier briefings. The Council may consider voting on item A-1, the related resolution, and remaining budget items in
this amendment at the January 16 formal meeting.
Information below was provided to the Council at earlier briefings
At the December 12 briefing, the Council reviewed four items previously discussed with time sensitive deadlines
(e.g., the upcoming Utah Legislature’s General Session, anticipated price increases, winter shelter needs, and
manufacturer order windows). At the formal meeting later that day, the Council closed the public hearing and
adopted the four urgent items listed below. The budget amendment remains open. Some Council Members
expressed a preference to receive a General Fund Balance update as confirmed by the annual financial audit and
revenue projections as context for considering remaining items in this budget amendment. The Finance Department
is expected to be available to present these updates at the January 16 briefing. The Fire Department submitted a
modified proposal for item A-1 which is summarized below. At the time of publishing, details were pending on
remaining funds from prior year appropriations related to item I-1 for physical security improvements to City Hall.
Urgent Items Adopted on December 12
- A-4: City Attorney’s Office Legislative Division Request for Four New FTEs ($317,190 from General Fund
Balance of which $20,000 is one-time for workspaces, and $12,000 to the IMS Fund one-time)
- A-15: Mill & Overlay Pilot Program for Street Pavement Maintenance ($205,177 from the Quarter Cent Sales
Tax for Transportation Fund Balance, and Transferring $955,177 to the Fleet Fund)
- A-16: The Road Home’s Family Hotel Winter Interim Plan ($300,000 from General Fund Balance)
- D-2: IMS FY2023 Encumbrance Reappropriation ($4,269,083 from IMS Fund Balance)
Modified Proposal for A-1: Fire Department Medical Response Civilian Single Role Paramedics
Request for Two New FTEs and Reclassify Two Vacant Entry-level Firefighter FTEs
(Budget Neutral in FY2024 Using Vacancy Savings; $133,266 New Ongoing General Fund Cost in FY2025)
After the Council’s initial discussion on December 5, the Fire Department submitted a modified proposal for this
item. The table below compares the original and modified proposals. The Department considers staffing civilian
single role paramedics in the existing Medical Response Teams to be a pilot program. Currently, firefighter EMTs
staff the Medical Response Teams. If the pilot program creates operational efficiencies as expected, then additional
civilian single role paramedics may be requested in the next annual budget.
Proposal FTEs (full-time employees)FY2024 Budget Impact FY2025 Budget Impact
Original 4 new FTEs $160,519 from General
Fund Balance $292,638
Modified
Reclassify 2 vacant entry-level
firefighter FTEs, and
2 new FTEs
Budget neutral; using
vacancy savings $133,266
Information below was provided to the Council at earlier briefings
At the first briefing, the Council discussed time sensitive items and the three items requesting new full-time
employees (FTEs). The other items will be discussed at the follow-up briefing on December 12. The Council may
consider adopting some or all items in Budget Amendment #3 after the public hearing is held, although standard
practice would be to consider only the time sensitive items. In addition to the amendment adoption ordinance, the
Council could also act on another ordinance that is proposed for item A-4 to codify a Legislative Affairs Division in
the City Attorney’s Office and the duties and functions of that department. Item A-1 also has a resolution proposed
requesting admission to the Tier 2 Firefighters Retirement System for emergency medical personnel including
social workers.
Straw Polls
The Council took the following nonbinding straw polls at the first briefing:
- A-4: City Attorney’s Office Legislative Division Request for Four New FTEs ($317,220 from General Fund
Balance):
o Six in favor, none against, and one absent to support a division director FTE appointed ($85,510)
and a senior city attorney merit ($117,676).
o Three in favor, three against, and one absent to support a special projects analyst ($61,707) and
administrative assistant ($52,297).
o Note the amounts above in parenthesis are half-year costs for salary, benefits, $3,000 per
employee for electronic devices (e.g., computers), and $5,000 per employee to establish
workspaces.
- A-15: Mill & Overlay Pilot Program for Street Pavement Maintenance ($205,177 from the Quarter Cent
Sales Tax for Transportation Fund Balance and Transferring $955,177 to the Fleet Fund)
o Six in favor, none against, and one absent to support the additional funding request, transfer to the
Fleet Fund, and funding source swap.
- A-16: The Road Home’s Family Hotel Winter Interim Plan ($300,000 from General Fund Balance)
o Six in favor, none against, and one absent to support the one-time appropriation for motel and
hotel vouchers available to families experiencing homelessness.
Information below was provided to the Council at earlier briefings
Budget Amendment Number Three includes 31 proposed amendments, $3,103,054 in revenues and $15,244,714 in
expenditures of which $1,738,732 is from General Fund Balance and requesting changes to eight funds.
Additionally, the transmittal indicates there is an increase of nine FTE’s. Four of the nine FTEs are being requested
in Item A-1 for the Fire Department and four FTEs are being requested in A-4 for the City Attorney’s new
Legislative Division. The other new FTE is being requested in A-13 in the Finance Department.
Fund Balance
If all the items are adopted as proposed, then General Fund Balance would be projected at 14.3% which is
$5,784,487 above the 13% minimum target of ongoing General Fund revenues. Note: this figure includes both
General Fund and Funding our Future fund balances. The Administration’s chart of projected Fund Balance later
in this report was prepared before the Council voted in item I-1 of Budget Amendment #2 to return $1 million to
General Fund Balance from an affordable housing development grant that did not proceed. This increased the
projected percentage from the 14.08% to 14.3%.
The projected Fund Balance does not include unused FY2023 budgets that drop to Fund Balance at the end of the
fiscal year. The General Fund typically sees $2 million to $3 million drop to Fund Balance annually, which would
increase the Fund Balance percentage. It also does not include actual revenues through the end of the last fiscal
year. The comprehensive annual financial audit will confirm the actual Fund Balance through the end of FY2023.
The annual audit is typically completed in December.
This updated 14.3% combined Fund Balance is higher than estimated during the annual budget deliberations in
June and Budget Amendment #1 last month due to finance department clarification on best practices for what to
include or not include in Fund Balance calculations. The revised estimate did not impact the Funding Our Future
portion of Fund Balance which remains at 14.51% which is $791,501 above the 13% minimum target.
Council Request: Tracking New Ongoing General Fund Costs Approved in Midyear Budget Amendments
Council staff has provided the following list of new ongoing costs to the General Fund. Many of these are new FTE’s approved during this fiscal
year’s budget amendments, noting that each new FTE increases the City’s annual budget if positions are added to the staffing document. Note that
some items in the table below are partially or fully funded by grants. If a grant continues to be awarded to the City in future years, then there may
not be a cost to the General Fund but grant funding is not guaranteed year-over-year.

the FY2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) . As a result, the City is on-track with impact fee budgeting to have
no refunds during all of FY2024 and FY2025. The transportation section of the City’s Impact Fees Plan was updated
in October 2020. The Administration is working on updates to the fire, parks, and police sections of the plan.

Section A: New Items
Note: to expedite the processing of this staff report, staff has included the Administration’s descriptions from the
transmittal for some of these items.
A-1: Fire Department Medical Response Paramedics Request for Four New FTEs ($160,519 from
General Fund Balance)
The Administration is proposing a further evolution to staffing for the Medical Response Teams (MRTs). The proposal
would increase the scope and efficiency of the team while reducing the cost of staffing each of four (4) SUV-based light
response MRT units throughout Salt Lake City.
The proposal adds four civilian Paramedic FTEs to the Fire Department. Each would be classified as Single-Role
Paramedics (SRP’s) and would be allocated specifically to MRT positions currently held by firefighter/EMT’s. The
displaced firefighters would fill daily vacancies throughout the department, and staff additional apparatus as the
department grows. This will likely result in overtime budget savings although the exact amount is unknown at this time. In
its current form the MRT is a successful program, but from a budgetary perspective, staffing the MRTs exclusively with
firefighter/EMTs is not the most efficient use of resources. Civilian Paramedics are a less costly position than a sworn
firefighter, and the training time to onboard is significantly shorter (2 weeks rather than 16).
The request for FY2024 would be $150,119 plus some startup costs of $10,400. Full year funding for FY25 would be
$292,638.
Approving this shift mid-year would enable the department to start the hiring process for SRP’s in January and
incorporate them into the MRT’s as soon as February 2024. The department plans to continue gathering data on the
budgetary impact of this shift on the MRT program in order to inform the FY25 budget plan.
Background - The Salt Lake City Fire Department (SLCFD) currently operates three Medical Response Teams (MRTs)
with another funded at the Salt Lake City Airport beginning in January of 2024 for a total of four MRTs staffed by 16
firefighter/EMTs. This initiative was initially funded by the Council in 2014, in part to realize fuel and staffing efficiencies.
Having been proven successful over the years both from a sustainability and staffing perspective, it was expanded in 2022
to include social workers when available. When a social worker is combined with an MRT the City refers to this as a
Community Health Access Team (CHAT). The department has indicated that when all social worker positions are filled,
their goal is to have a social worker on 2 MRT teams (becoming a CHAT), 6 days a week. Staff has included Attachment 3
showing relevant data for the first full year of CHAT operations.
➢Policy question – In addition to the relevant data collected on the MRT program, the Council may wish to ask
the Administration to also collect data on any potential department-wide overtime savings of this shift.
A-2: American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grant Management Employee Expenses ($14,225 from ARPA)
The Economic Development Department is requesting $14,225 of ARPA funds budgeted in previous fiscal years that was
not used. The funds would cover expenses for an existing employee supporting the Department’s administration of ARPA
local business direct assistance grants and local nonprofit pass-through assistance grants. The Department hired two FTEs
to administer the programs through FY2023. However, the program implementation has taken longer than anticipated.
One of the FTEs has left employment with the City and the position is no longer needed. This additional funding would
provide a total of $125,000 for the second position through the end of FY2024. The two grant assistance programs are
expected to be completed at the end of FY2024 so the second FTE would no longer be needed next fiscal year.
A-3: Withdrawn Prior to Transmittal
A-4: City Attorney’s Office Legislative Division Request for Four New FTEs ($297,220 from General Fund
Balance)
The Administration is proposing to add four new FTEs to create a Legislative Division within the City Attorney’s Office.
According to the transmittal, “The primary focus of this division will be on legislative affairs, with special focus on the
legislative session and the various impacts to Salt Lake City.” The amount requested for FY2024 (6 months of funding) is
$297,220.40, which includes one-time startup costs such as computers ($12,000, to be budgeted as a transfer to IMS),
and funding to establish workspaces and necessary equipment ($20,000). The full year cost for the four positions is
$594,440.79. Note: The Administration would like to gauge Council support on this item at the first briefing such as a
straw poll and consider whether to approve this item at the December 12 meeting, so that positions can be
advertised/onboarded prior to the 2024 State Legislative Session which begins Tuesday, January 16, 2024.
The four proposed positions are as follows:
•Legislative Affairs Division Director (Grade E34 - appointed)
•Senior City Attorney (Grade E39 - merit)
•Special Projects Analyst (Grade E26 - merit)
•Administrative Assistant (Grade N21 - merit)
The proposal also includes an ordinance to amend the City Code to document this as a new division and to clarify that the
City Attorney’s Office and Legislative Division report equally to both branches of government. The Administration notes
that the ordinance:
•Establishes that because the City Attorney manages the legal affairs of both the executive and legislative branches
of government, she reports to both the Mayor and Council Chair, and can be removed at the discretion of the
Mayor.
•Clarifies that the City Attorney supervises the Recorder’s Office, Risk Management Division, and Division of
Legislative Affairs.
•Clarifies that the City Attorney may retain outside counsel on behalf of the City, if she concludes that the City
Attorney’s Office has a conflict of interest, is unable, or is unavailable to perform that legal work for the City.
•Creates the Division of Legislative Affairs, which will be responsible for monitoring state and federal legislation
and engaging in advocacy, collaboration, and tracking of all legislative matters for the City.
•Establishes the director of legislative affairs, who will work with both branches of government on the City’s
legislative agenda and will report to both branches of government on legislative priorities and policies.
Staff is working with the Attorney’s Office on several clarifying edits to the ordinance to ensure it matches the intent of the
bullet points listed above. See Attachment 1 for the approved as to form version of the ordinance and Attachment 2 for the
redlined version (showing edits in track changes format).
A-5: Additional Funding for 2100 South Reconstruction in Sugar House ($3,323,950 from Transportation
Impact Fees)
This request would maximize the eligible use of transportation impact fees for complete streets elements in the 2100
South reconstruction project. The total estimated cost for reconstructing 2100 South through the Sugar House Business
District (from 700 East to 1300 East) continues to increase due to inflation, supply chain issues, and an expanded scope in
response to community-desired elements. Construction level designs are anticipated to be completed this winter. Then the
project would go out to bid after which exact costs would be known. Construction may begin in 2024. The table below
summarizes budget line items for this project including the additional funding requested in this budget amendment. No
further funding requests are anticipated for this project.

A-6: Additional Funding for 600/700 North Reconstruction ($3,204,371 from Transportation Impact
Fees)
This request would almost maximize the eligible use of transportation impact fees for complete streets elements in the
600/700 North corridor reconstruction and transformation project. It is eligible for another $400,000 of transportation
impact fees however the current unallocated available balance is not enough to cover that additional amount. The Council
may see a request in a future budget opening for the additional $400,000 if enough transportation impact fee revenue
comes in later this fiscal year or next. The total estimated cost for reconstructing the corridor (from Redwood Road to 800
West) continues to increase due to inflation, supply chain issues, and an expanded scope in response to community-
desired elements.
The 2022 Sales Tax Revenue Bond included $9,753,000 for this project. The Council also approved $1,879,654 in FY2022
CIP from Funding Our Future transit dollars for this project. A frequent (every 15 minutes) bus service route runs along
this corridor. Several other smaller funding sources are also anticipated to be used for the project such as Class C funds,
remaining Streets Reconstruction bond funds unused from completed projects, grants, and CIP complete streets funds.
Construction level designs are anticipated to be completed this winter. Then the project would go out to bid after which
exact costs would be known. Construction may begin in 2025.
The project webpage is publicly available at www.600northslc.org
A-7: Security Access Control System Upgrades ($400,000 from General Fund Balance)
Additional one-time funding is needed to continue transitioning City buildings to an upgraded S2 control access system as
the citywide standard. The back-end software was recently upgraded for the Public Safety Building and City Hall. This
item would allow the same upgrade for Plaza 349 and the Justice Court buildings. The funding also includes card readers
and proximity cards (sometimes called smart badges or access cards) for employees using the four buildings. The Council
could discuss this item in a closed session since the topic relates to security devices, personnel, and/or systems.
A-8: Additional Funds to Purchase Electric Trucks instead of Sedans for the Compliance Division
($20,000 from General Fund Balance)
Current funding would allow the Fleet Division to purchase two electric sedans. One sedan to replace a jeep that is past
useful life and another sedan for three new FTEs added in the annual budget to create the RV and Long-term Parking
Enforcement Team. This funding request would allow both vehicles to be electric trucks instead of sedans. The larger
vehicles would provide greater capabilities for the team to operate during the winter, inclement weather, and in
neighborhoods with steep roads. The trucks also have larger cargo space for equipment and supplies such as pay station
kiosks.
A-9: Adding Multimodal Specialized Road Markings Maintenance Funding into the Streets Division’s
Base Budget ($200,000 from General Fund Balance)
The Council did not fund this item in FY2024 CIP but requested the Administration evaluate adding this ongoing
maintenance need to the ongoing base budget for the Public Services Department or the Transportation Division in the
Community and Neighborhoods Department. The Council previously funded this item in CIP for a couple years. The
Administration recommends increasing the Streets Division’s base budget by $200,000. This item would be a one-time
appropriation from General Fund Balance. The next annual budget would then include the $200,000 as ongoing. Council
Members discussed the competitive CIP process, and that basic maintenance and safety funding better belongs in the
annual operating budgets of some departments. Any unused funds at the end of the fiscal year would lapse to General
Fund Balance.
The funding will be used for hiring contractors with specialized equipment. Examples of city-owned assets that could be
maintained include 1,010 bike racks, over three miles of green painted pavement, bike lanes, enhanced crosswalks, and
radar feedback signs. The Public Services Department and Transportation Division will develop optimal maintenance
schedules for these assets and evaluate potential equipment and staffing costs to bring the work in-house vs. the current
approach of using outside contractors.
A-10: Downtown Parking Pay Station Replacements ($135,993 from General Fund Balance)
The blue tower parking pay stations in the downtown are over a decade old and past the recommended useful life. This is
causing increasing maintenance costs and operations issues. The Administration issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) and
is evaluating the bid submissions. This item is being included in a budget amendment because of timeliness challenges
around equipment ordering and delivery windows. Based on the RFP responses, the Administration estimates a seven-
year payment schedule would be best. An initial half year payment would be this fiscal year and then larger payments
evenly spread across years two through seven (fiscal years 2025 – 2030). A shorter payment schedule or a one-time lump-
sum payment could result in savings because the total cost would be less than the seven-year payment schedule. However,
the larger upfront costs for a shorter schedule or one-time lump-sum payment would also reduce the General Fund
Balance more in the short-term.
New parking pay stations are expected to have features not available on the current older equipment such as pay by license
plate capabilities, public service information like events in the area, business and organization sponsored parking
validations, pay parking citations at a station, multiple languages, and pollution sensors. The old meters would be recycled
to the extent possible. New meters may be in new locations based on revenue evaluations for old station locations.
Policy Questions:
➢Public Education – The Council may wish to ask the Administration how the public, downtown businesses, and
other organizations will learn about the new parking pay stations. The Council may also wish to ask whether the
existing ParkSLC mobile app will continue, or a new app would be needed.
➢Parking Demand Management – The Council may wish to ask the Administration would the new stations allow
the City to improve parking demand management practices and whether funding would be needed to study
options such as variable pricing during peak hours, paying for shorter or longer time periods, real-time
information on where parking spaces are available (public and private), reservation-based parking spaces,
vending zones like food trucks, and supporting the potential pedestrianization of closing Main Street during
certain times.
A-11: Reappropriation for Rail Spur Removal ($205,000 from General Fund Balance to CIP Fund)
The Council originally approved this funding in Budget Amendment #1 of FY2023. A reappropriation is needed because
the funds were not used by the end of last fiscal year and lapsed to General Fund Balance. The rail spur at 600 West and
500 South was conveyed in 1997 by the City to a private party, with partial consideration for this conveyance being an
easement to construct, operate, and maintain a railroad spur and associated facilities. Since the rail spur has not been
used for over one year, the City is contractually obligated to remove it. There have been a couple similar rail spur removals
in recent years. The Administration stated this is believed to be the last rail spur removal in the area. Note that the budget
spreadsheet in the Administration’s transmittal mistakenly identifies this item as ongoing when the funding is one-time.
A-12: Police Officer Overtime Related to the Sanctioned Campground Pilot Program ($500,000 from
ARPA Funds Unused in Prior Fiscal Years)
This item would provide one-time funding for police officer overtime shifts at and in the area around the sanctioned
campground pilot program (“temporary shelter community”) at approximately 300 South and 600 West. It is expected to
operate until April 30, 2024. The overtime shifts would be voluntary so some might go unfilled. The overtime rate would
be $65/hour as an incentive for shifts to be filled. The Police Department will evaluate staffing levels to determine how
many officers are needed by shift (e.g., days, evenings, and nights). The Department will also utilize vacancy savings to
fund additional overtime shifts as needed. Over the five months of December through April, the $500,000 could provide
an average of five police officers working 10-hour overtime shifts per day. The actual staffing levels per day and time of day
will vary based on officers signing up for voluntary shifts, the volume of calls for service, proactive patrols, and other
factors.
At the time of publishing this staff report an ARPA reconciliation was pending to show which budgets were unused in
prior fiscal years and whether any more ARPA funding remains available for repurposing. The Council previously put $1.5
million from the General Fund into a holding account for potential expenses related to the temporary sanctioned
campground. All those funds remain in the holding account.
Policy Questions:
➢Where would officers be for overtime shifts? – The Council may wish to ask the Administration would officers be
inside the sanctioned campground, immediately around it, and/or how wide of an area around it would be
proactively patrolled?
➢Additional Funding Needs – The Council may wish to ask the Administration whether more funding is anticipated
to be needed for the temporary sanctioned campground’s operations, mitigating public safety issues, or other
related costs.
A-13: New Financial Grant Analyst FTE in the Finance Department for Grants Administered by the
Housing Stability Division ($46,643 from CDBG and $14,548 from ARPA)
This request would fund one FTE for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2024. The position is intended to oversee grants
administered by the Housing Stability Program. The proposed grant analyst will work under the direction of the Deputy
Director of Finance and will assist in the financial monitoring of multiple grants to ensure compliance with city financial
processes as well as state and federal grant requirements. The position will be split across two grant funding sources –
75% CDBG and 25% from ARPA. A job description for this position was included in the Administration’s transmittal. The
City has experienced a significant increase in the number and complexity of grant applications and grant awards over the
past few years. This trend is expected to continue as departments apply for more grants such as billions of dollars in
federal grants spread over multiple years from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act.
Historically, the City has not used all the available funding from CDBG to cover the costs of administering the program as
allowed under U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations. There is anticipated to be enough ongoing
CDBG funding to help cover most costs related to this new FTE over the long-term. The remaining 25% of the costs may be
covered by other grant funding depending on how much the FTE directly works on those programs. The ability to use
grant funds for personnel expenses is often limited to hours spent working directly on the grant programs.
➢Policy question: The Council may wish to ask the Administration to provide metrics on the number of grant
applications and awards in recent years and are additional resources (e.g., software, FTEs, trainings) needed to
improve management of grants.
A-14: Consulting for Enterprise Billing Systems ($250,000 from the IMS Fund Balance)
This item was previously appropriated in Budget Amendment 5 of FY2023 but, due to delays in the RFP process, was
ineligible to be encumbered prior to the fiscal year end and fell to IMS’s fund balance. The RFP process is underway, and
the Department wishes to reappropriate this funding.
The Public Utilities Billing System (PUBS) was developed and expanded by IMS over the past two decades. The system is
reaching the end of life and needs to be replaced. In addition to Public Utilities, some General Fund departments use the
system, like Sustainability and Community and Neighborhoods. This funding is to hire a consultant to evaluate the City’s
needs and identify the best path for a smooth implementation of the system’s replacement. Microsoft support for the
current system is expected to end as soon as July 2024.
A-15: Mill & Overlay Pilot Program for Street Pavement Maintenance ($205,177 from the Quarter Cent
Sales Tax for Transportation Fund Balance and Transferring $955,177 to the Fleet Fund)
The Council approved $750,000 in FY2024 CIP from quarter cent sales tax for transportation funds to purchase an
asphalt paver and a cold-milling machine that do this type of pavement maintenance. In the FY2024 annual budget, the
Council also approved $130,000 ongoing from Funding Our Future for program supplies. The Public Services Department
was notified that the manufacturer increased prices after these appropriations were approved. $205,177 is needed in
addition to the $750,000 in CIP to purchase the two machines. The Department has previously rented these machines.
Purchasing the machines is estimated to be a more cost-effective option in the long term than continuing to rent.
This item would also swap the funding sources for two projects to better align funding eligibilities with project uses. At the
time of publishing this report, staff has requested information on the allowable uses of quarter cent sales tax for
transportation funds as equipment purchases were previously thought to be eligible. The Mill & Overlay equipment would
be shifted away from quarter cent sales tax for transportation funds to General Fund dollars and Class C (gas tax) funds
that were also approved by the Council in FY2024 CIP. An equivalent $750,000 for complete streets reconstruction
projects would be shifted away from General Fund dollars and Class C (gas tax) funds to the quarter cent sales tax for
transportation funds.
The Mill and Overlay provides a pavement maintenance option that is greater than filling a pothole or chip & slurry
surface treatments and less than a full street reconstruction. For example, cutting down a few inches into deteriorated
asphalt and removing a several foot stretch and then backfilling with new asphalt.
➢Policy question: The Council may wish to consider a straw poll for this item so the Department could proceed
with drafting contracts before the next price increase which is anticipated to be in mid-December.
A-16: The Road Home’s Family Hotel Winter Interim Plan ($300,000 from General Fund Balance)
This item would provide one-time funding to assist the State and The Road Home’s efforts to provide motel rooms to
families experiencing homelessness from December 2023 to June 2024. The motel vouchers could be considered a
stopgap option until a new family non-congregate shelter opens next spring / summer. This new facility will be in addition
to the existing Midvale Family Recourse Center or MFRC. The average cost is estimated at $600-800 per week for a hotel
room serving a family of four. Actual costs could be more or less depending on the size of a family and variable rates at
different hotels. A one-page summary of the plan is shown as the last page of the Administration’s transmittal. The Road
Home stated there are existing contracts with motels for 12 rooms and one case manager assigned to the program.
Additional case managers would be hired per 12 hotel rooms that are contracted to ensure adequate staffing to workload
ratios. A supportive services manager is also anticipated to be hired.
The Administration has requested a straw poll on this item to facilitate contract development in advance of the final
Council vote.
➢Policy Question: The Council may wish to ask the Administration what is the funding gap for the overall plan
and would the City’s $300,000 fill the existing funding gap? Adding up all the costs on the one-page summary
indicates the total cost could exceed $1 million. The Council may also wish to task what other entities are
contributing funding towards the plan?

D-1: Moving Funding for Downtown Central Precinct Tenant Improvements for North Temple Substation
and Downtown Central Project ($513,208 from CAN to Public Services)
Funding for the Downtown Central Precinct Tenant Improvements for North Temple Sub Station and Downtown Central
Project in the amount of $513,208 was added by the Council to the CAN budget during the budget decision making
process. However, this funding should have gone to Public Services since it will be the Facilities division that will be
managing the improvements. This item does not allocate any additional funding, but simply moves funding from one
department to another for the same work.
D-2: IMS FY 2023 Encumbrance Roll Forward ($4,269,083)
IMS has encumbered money that was expected to be paid out of the FY23 funds and either will need to be paid, or has
already been paid in FY24. These encumbrances are listed in the Carry Over Encumbrance reports. All of these items have
been approved for purchase by central finance in a prior year. These expenses will be paid for by the annual allocation that
IMS uses to collect its revenue on an annual basis.
D-3: Move Cultural Core Funding to Non-Departmental from Arts Council Cost Center ($250,000)
This item is to move funds from the Art’s Council Division to the Economic Development’s Non-Departmental budget.
This is an effort to align funding with the appropriate cost center within the new financial system.

This item supports the necessary infrastructure for the installation of two (2) approved dual port AC Level 2 chargers
at the Day Riverside Library, located at 1575 West 1000 North in Salt Lake City. The project will result in a total of
four (4) charging ports. The chargers will be available to the public 24/7. There is no cost related to the charger in this
incentive. Accepting the incentive payment obligates the participant to maintain functioning chargers and allow public
access 24/7 for a minimum of five years, starting from the date of the incentive payment. No new staff members. The
maintenance cost of this item is the lesser of the following: $22,642.33 or 80% of the total project cost. A public
hearing was held on July 18, 2023. No match is required.
G-11: FEMA Power Poles Cameras ($15,000 from Misc. Grants)
FEMA is providing funding to the Fire Department for the temporary installation of cameras onto existing powers
poles as needed. A public hearing was held May 16, 2023. No match is required.
G-12: Utah Crimes Against Children Task Force
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) has created the Utah Internet Crimes Against
Children (ICAC) Task Force Program, which is a national network of state and local law enforcement cybercrime units.
The national ICAC program assists state and local law enforcement agencies to develop an effective response to cyber
enticement, sexual exploitation of a minor, and other child sexual abuse material cases. The Police Department will
utilize this funding to support its ongoing efforts to protect children from cybercrime. Public Hearing was held on
August 15, 2023. No match is required.
Section I: Council-Added Items
I-1: Releasing Funds for Physical Security Improvements to City Hall ($154,000 from CIP Holding
Account)
In Budget Amendment #5 of FY2023, the Council put $1 million into a Capital Improvement Program or CIP Fund
holding account for one-time to be determined physical security improvements to City Hall. The Public Services
Department is requesting these funds in a budget amendment so the improvements could be done in tandem with current
earthquake repairs to minimize disruptions in the building. The total project cost is estimated at $240,886. The FY2023
annual budget included funding for building security which is $86,886 of the project cost. If the Council approves this
item, then the holding account would have a remaining balance of $846,000. The Council could discuss this item in a
closed session since the topic relates to security devices, personnel, and/or systems.

Why We’re Doing This
•Downtown and other key neighborhoods have seen growth and other changes
that have affected on-street parking occupancy and usage habits.
•Salt Lake City will soon replace its existing parking meters with all-new
equipment.
•As part of the replacement process, parking planning staff wanted to evaluate
the current system to understand existing operating efficiencies, trends in meter
usage, changes in land use and density, and how existing policies, rates, and fees
compare to peer cities.
•Based on information gathered and data analyzed, the number and locations of meters in the
existing paid area can be right-sized and adjusted to fit current needs.
•That information can also be combined with an analysis of future growth areas to provide
quantity and cost estimates for potential future expansion of parking meters outside of the
existing paid area.
•Finally, the information can help Salt Lake City to adjust their policies, rates, and fees in order
to optimize operations, streamline enforcement, and potentially increase revenue by bringing
policies, rates, and fees more in line with peer city averages and best practices.

Executive Summary
Introduction
Salt Lake City is currently in the process evaluating the multi-space parking meter system to understand existing
operating efficiencies, trends in existing meter usage, changes in land uses and density, and how existing hours of
operation, rates, and fees compare to peer cities. In total, there were 280 multi-space meters across the system
that are deployed and operational as of August 2022. It should be noted that as of November 2022, there were
278 meters in operation.
Currently, paid parking is limited to the central business district and immediately adjacent areas, as well as two
additional small paid that are not contiguous to the main paid area along “main street”-type corridors located to
the east of the CBD.
Existing Metered Parking
The total number of transactions went down in 2020 but has started to increase again in 2021. Between July
2021 and June 2022, there were 852,998 transactions, down from 1,299,735 from 2015 to 2016. The share of all
transactions conducted with pay-by-app, instead of at the meter, has increased from 8% in 2015 to 45% today.
Currently, the highest-usage meters were clustered along the 300 S. corridor within the CBD as well as along 100
S. and at certain key intersections. Most meters saw between 1,000 and 5,000 transactions from 2020 – 2021.
The average number of meters per block face ranged from 1.80 to 2.74, depending on land use.
No clear correlation between certain areas/land uses and pay-by-app usage was observed. However, a few
“hotspots” and “coldspots” were apparent where pay-by-app use was notably higher or lower than average. The
pay-by-app share of total transactions was between 41% and 60% for most meters, with only 6% falling under
20% pay-by-app or exceeding 60% pay-by-app.
Evaluation of Metered Parking
Walker has established different criteria for evaluating whether parking meters should be considered for removal,
addition, or keeping in existing paid areas, as well as for determining whether an existing unpaid area may be a
candidate for installing meters
Criteria established include setting a minimum number of meters per block face and a maximum distance
between meters along a block face, determining the minimum number of transactions per year for a meter to be
financially self-sufficient, and determining a minimum percentage of transactions that occur at the meter.
Using evaluation matrices and associated criteria, Walker has determined specific minimum requirements that
should be met for all meters, as well as thresholds for determining whether a meter may be a candidate for
removal.
The established requirements for all meters are as follows:
Salt Lake City Corporation
Metered Parking Analysis (DRAFT)
WALKER CONSULTANTS | 6
• A minimum of two meter per block face with paid parking.
• A maximum of 250 feet distance between a meter and the farthest parking space.
• That maximum decreases to 150 feet for human services land uses.
• For accessible spaces, meters should be located as close as possible to such spaces.
The established thresholds for keeping meters are as follows:
• A minimum of 1,300 transactions per year (at the meter + pay-by-app.
• Percent share of transactions at the meter is at least 40%.
The established threshold for adding meters is if least one meter on a block face sees frequent “congestion.”
When applying thresholds, 85 of 280 meters do not currently meet the transaction threshold. Also, 9 out of 279
see use of pay-by-app at or above 60%. By land use, the average number of meters per block face that met the
transaction threshold ranged from 0.44 for Residential Mixed Use to 2.74 for high-activity areas in the CBD.
After evaluating the existing paid area, and after considering established requirements, Walker iden tified 27
meters that may be candidates for removal. At this time, Walker did not identify any block faces where more
meters are needed. Further evaluation is recommended for suggested candidates for removal, such as whether
there is accessible parking on the block face.
In terms of cost estimates, to replace all 280 existing meters, Walker estimates an initial, up-front cost range of
between about $1.4 million and $2.2 million. To replace all meters minus the meters identified as potential
candidates for removal, the initial, up-front cost range is estimated to be between $1.3 million and $2.1 million.
By moving from 280 to 263 meters, the City would save between 85k and $136k.
Potential Expansion of Parking Meters
In the short to mid term, there are about 68 developments in or near downtown that are planned or under
construction. A contiguous area that encompasses all new developments would represent about a 2.4x increase
in the size of the existing metered parking area, or an increase of 488 meters (at 2 meters per block face). The
cost range per meter for such an expansion is estimated to range from about $2.4 million to $5.9 million,
depending on where the cost per meter would fall within the given cost range.
In the mid to long term, future land use maps for neighborhood areas show potential increases in mid- and high-
density residential, commercial, and mixed-use development beyond the area that encompasses known future
development planned or under construction. If the City were to create paid parking zones within future mid- and
high-density residential, commercial, and mixed-use areas, for all such areas except high-activity commercial,
Walker would recommend an average of about 2 meters per block face. For high-activity commercial, Walker
would recommend an average of about 3 meters per block face.
In the Downtown study area, if parking meters were to be extended to the area defined as the short/mid-term
growth area, about 310 meters would be needed in all (at 2 meters per block face). The cost range per meter for
such an expansion is estimated to range from about $1.6 million to $2.5 million, depending on where the cost per
meter would fall within the given cost range.
Salt Lake City Corporation
Metered Parking Analysis (DRAFT)
WALKER CONSULTANTS | 7
In the Sugar House study area, if parking meters were to be extended to the area defined as the short/mid-term
growth area, 143 meters would be needed in all (at 1 meter per block face). The cost range per meter for such an
expansion is estimated to range from about $715k to $1.1 million, depending on where the cost per meter would
fall within the given cost range. For this area, Walker recommends 1 meter per block face instead of 2 due to
block faces that are much shorter than in downtown.
Metered Parking Policies, Rates, & Fees
Compared to peer cities, in general, Salt Lake City is the only city to have uniform time limits in place for metered
parking, to have a flat hourly rate for all paid parking that does not vary by area, length of stay, or tier, to not
charge for parking on Saturdays, and to have uniform hours of enforcement in place for all paid areas. Salt Lake
City also lacks special event pricing and time limits, and the city’s fine for accessible parking space violations is less
than half the average fine for peer cities examined and is less than the suggested fine published by the Utah State
Court System.
Selected recommendations are as follows:
• Increase time limit for most paid parking spaces from 2 to 4 hours.
• Increase base rate from $2.25 to $2.50 per hour within existing paid area.
• Move to a tiered rate structure where the first two hours are $2.50 per hour, the third hour is $5, and the
4th hour is $10.
• Expand paid parking into Saturdays, which would align paid parking hours with current enforcement
hours across the week.
• Extend the enforcement period for all days to 10 PM.
• Increase fines for all parking violation types discussed in this study to be more in line with peer city
averages and the suggested fines listed in the Utah State Courts’ 2022 Uniform Fines Schedule.
Other suggested items to consider are as follows:
• A tiered or graduated rate structure for some or all paid parking areas.
• Increase or eliminate time limits in conjunction with other suggested items regarding parking rates.
• Time limits of less than 2 hours for certain spaces in very high demand areas or in other special contexts
• Consider zone-based pricing based on demand patterns, with higher rates in high-demand areas and
lower rates in lower-demand areas.
o Sugar House should be its own zone when or if paid parking were to be extended to that area.
o The existing paid area should be divided into 2 or more zones.
o More zones could be added if the existing paid area downtown were to be enlarged.
• Adopt a later stop time for enforcement in areas and on days where on-street parking usage is elevated
past 10 PM, such as night life areas, and an earlier stop time for enforcement where parking usage
decreases after a certain hour, such as office
• Establish a special overlay zone around Vivint Arena where special event rates and hours would apply
during large events
• Increase time period for which a vehicle may not be allowed to return to the same parking space or block
face to at least 4 hours if time limits are expanded to 4 hours.
• Graduated fine structure where fines increase for subsequent violations within a calendar year.

Introduction & Study Area
Introduction
In 2012, the City of Salt Lake City began replacing its single -space meter infrastructure with a new system of
multi-space meters. In the new system, 1 to 4 meters per block face, along with a handful located along mid-
block alleys and in certain high-activity off-street areas, serve all individual paid parking spaces along the block
face within paid parking areas.
Since multi-space meters were first implemented, downtown Salt Lake City and other key neighborhoods and
areas within the City have seen growth, development, redevelopment, and land use changes. These changes
have potentially affected on-street parking occupancy and usage habits within existing paid parking areas and
currently unmanaged and/or free parking areas. Within the existing paid parking areas, such changes have also
potentially influenced usage at existing meters. Some block faces within the paid area may have seen increased
use of on-street paid parking, while others have seen decreases.
In addition, managed parking technology has dramatically advanced within the last decade. In 2012, the major
change of note was the ability for customers to use a credit card to furnish payment, though the system also
allowed for the use of payment via a smartphone app. In 2012, such app usage to render payment represented
only a small fraction of total transactions. However, over the last decade, the use of pay-by-app using a
smartphone as a payment option has grown considerably. For Salt Lake City’s multi-space meter system, pay-by-
app services are provided through the Passport platform. While the use of pay-by-app relative to other multi-
space meter payment methods has increased across the system, the relative increase may be higher within some
areas and for some multi-space meters compared to others.
While one upgrade to the multi-space system has been performed since the initial installation, the existing
contracts for the current system, provided by IPS Smart Meters, are expiring soon. As such, the City is looking to
revamp and overhaul its decade-old multi-space infrastructure with a new, state-of-the-art metered parking
system.
Understanding trends in parking habits and multi-space meter usage, as well as changes in land uses and density
that have occurred and may occur in the near future, will help to inform data-driven decisions on changes that
can be made to the paid parking system when it is overhauled that will allow the system to operate more
efficiently, providing the right balance of multi-space meters for customer use while reducing the cost of
operations and maintenance and reducing sidewalk clutter.
To help the City understand these trends and changes, and also to accomplish its goals pertaining to the paid
parking system, Walker Consultants (“Walker”) has been retained to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the
City’s existing multi-space metered parking system.
In addition to evaluating the system to determine where existing meters may be removed or added, if necessary,
Walker will also provide a high-level overview of selected existing unmanaged/unpaid parking areas, with
recommendations on specific neighborhoods or areas that may need to have multi-space meters installed in the
future. These high-level recommendations will be informed by future known land use changes and developments

of note, as provided by the City, and/or development/redevelopment. Also, they will include suggested criteria
that will enable the City to identify where and how many multi-space meters could be installed in the future.
Walker has also been retained to evaluate existing paid parking rates and fees, including fines for violating existing
parking rules relating to paid on-street parking. Also, the hours of operation for the paid parking system will be
analyzed. Based on this evaluation and analysis, in conjunction with a review of parking rates, fees, fines, and
hours of operation for selected peer cities for benchmarking purposes, Walker will provide recommendations for
changes that could help to streamline further and optimize both the existing system as well as any expansions in
the system that may occur in the future.
Study Area
The overall study area for this study is defined by two rectangles that are non-contiguous with each other.
One area is a rectangle approximately bounded by 600 West to the west, 200 North to the north, University St. to
the east, and 1000 South to the south. This area contains all existing paid/metered parking areas in the City.
Neighborhoods entirely or partially falling within this area include Downtown, Central City, Fairpark, Capitol Hill,
East Central, Ball Park, Liberty-Wells, East Liberty Park, Greater Avenues, and Glendale.
The other area is a rectangle approximately bounded by 700 East to the west, 2000 South to the north, 1300 East
to the east, and the 80 Freeway to the south. This study area represents the core of the Sugar House
Neighborhood.
Figure 1 on the next page depicts the two study areas considered as part of this study, with paid and free parking
areas within the study areas shown.

The existing paid parking areas where existing conditions were evaluated in detail are shown in Figure 2 on the
next page. The maximum extent of the main contiguous paid area is 100 North to the north, 400 E to the east,
700 South to the south, and 500 West to the west. In addition, there is paid parking along South Temple St.
between 400 East and E Street, as well as along 1300 E. between East 500 and 600 South. These areas are not
contiguous with the main paid area or each other.
City records show a total of about 280 existing multi-space meters that are deployed and operational as of August
2022. Out of that total, 268 meters are within the main contiguous area, 11 are located in the 1300 E. non-
contiguous area, and 1 is located along S. Temple between 400 and 500 East. These 280 multi-space meters
serve 1,591 individually numbered paid parking spaces across the system. Of those, 63 spaces are located in the
1300 E. non-contiguous area, and 6 are located along S. Temple between 400 East and E Street.

Existing Metered Parking
Historical Systemwide Trends
When Salt Lake City’s existing multi-space meter technology was first implemented, transactions via pay-by-app
constituted only a small fraction of total transactions. However, every year since then, the relative share of
transactions taking place via pay-by-app has increased relative to transactions at the multi-space meter.
Based on monthly transaction and revenue data furnished to Walker by the City dating back to 2015, Walker was
able to chart the total overall volume of transactions from year to year and determine the percent share of pay-
by-app versus multi-space meter transactions between 2015 and 2022. This data is shown in Figure 4 below.
Note that each time period shown is from July through the following June.
Figure 4. Pay-by-App vs. Multi-Space Meter Transactions by Year (July 2015 – June 2022)
In 2015, pay-by-app transactions represented 8% of the total number. By 2022, they represented nearly half of
total transactions. Note that overall transactions decreased starting in 2019 – 2020 due to the COVID-19
pandemic.
Overall, the average revenue per transaction has been steadily increasing. The annual average increased from
$2.21 per transaction in the June 2015 – 2016 period to $3.00 in 2021 – 2022, with a positive year-over-year
increase occurring yearly. It should be noted that the per-hour rate increased from $2.00 to $2.25 per hour in

Figure 5. Pay-by-App vs. Multi-Space Meter Transactions by Month (July 2021 – June 2022)
By month, March had the greatest number of transactions while January had the fewest. The total number of
transactions for the period ranged from a little over 57,000 to 82,667.
Analysis of Multi-Space Meter Usage
Methodology
For purposes of analysis and comparison of multi-space meters and transactions by individual meter location, it
was necessary to examine individual transaction data for each multi-space meter location. Data containing all
individual transactions by meter was provided to Walker between July 2021 and June 2022. As a result, this is the
period of time for which meter usage analysis by location was conducted. In all, two different sets of data for all
multi-space meter transactions were furnished to Walker, described in detail below.
One set of data contained, by month, every transaction that took place physically at each individual multi-space
meter across the system within the time period for which data was available. In this set, both the individual space
number as well as the multi-space meter at which the transaction took place were identified, making it possible to
aggregate individual transactions by their associated multi-space meter. Walker then performed analysis using
geographical information systems (GIS) software that enabled it to associate transaction information at the multi-
space meter level with the spatial location of each meter.
The other data set contained all individual pay-by-app transactions across the system within the same period.
While data on the total number of transactions that physically took place at the multi-space meter identified both

the individual space number as well as the meter at which the transaction took place, making it possible to
aggregate individual transactions by their associated meter, pay-by-app transactions only identified the individual
space number to which the transaction is linked, and not an associated multi-space meter. This is because pay-
by-app transactions bypass the multi-space meter entirely.
As a result, to compare pay-by-app transactions to multi-space meter transactions at the multi-space meter level,
and to spatially plot the data in GIS, Walker was required to perform some additional analysis to associate one
multi-space meter to every individual parking space. To do this, Walker looked at the total number of
transactions associated with all multi-space meters for each individual parking space within the set of data that
contained transactions that physically took place at the meter. The multi-space meter/space combination with
the greatest volume of transactions per individual space was then used to assign to that space a single multi-
space meter that most closely matched or was most strongly associated with the space. For example, if 99% of
total transactions for a given space were associated with one multi-space meter, and fewer than 1% were
associated with other multi-space meters, that space was assigned the first multi-space meter for all pay-by-app
transactions associated with that space.
In general, the closest multi-space meter match was likely to be the most convenient and/or closest multi-space
meter to a given individual parking space. Transactions associated with other multi-space meters may have been
due to, for example, people who started to walk to their destination and made it a block or two before
remembering to pay. For such transactions, Walker carried over the transaction to associate with the closest
match multi-space meter instead.
Total Transactions by Multi-Space Meter Location
There was an average of 3,015 transactions per multi-space meter overall (1,671 at the meter and 1,362 pay-by-
app for spaces associated with each meter). There was a median of 2,221 transactions per multi-space meter
overall (1,277 at the meter and 964 pay-by-app for spaces associated with each meter).
Figure 6 shows the total transactions per multi-space meter proportionately across the system, with the size of
the circles corresponding to the number of transactions per station.
Note that data was not available for ten multi-space meters that were shown to exist according to City data
records provided. For this analysis, two additional meters were excluded as the total number of transactions fell
under 20. Some or all of these meters may have been newly installed and/or out of service during the time
period. Therefore, out of 290 total meters shown in City records, 280 had a number of transactions associated
with them greater than 0 and 278 had more than 20 transactions.

Figure 7 shows the percentage distribution of meters by total number of transactions.
Figure 7. Percent Distribution of Multi-Space Meters by Transaction Volume (July 2021 – June 2022)
About 24% of multi-space meters reported a total number of transactions (at the meter and pay-by-app) that fell
below 1,000. Most multi-space meters reported a volume of between 1,000 and 5,000 total transactions. The
remainder reported a volume greater than 5,000, with only 3 multi-space meters reporting a number greater
than 10,000.

CBD. The CBD itself overall had an average of about 2.18. Outside the CBD high-activity area, Community
Business and Library zones had the highest at an average of 2.67 per complete block face.
If generalizing the figures presented above to represent more general land use categories and density, it was first
necessary to establish the specific selected land use, as identified by existing zoning within the paid area, that
best corresponds to the given general land use category/density combinations. Figure 10 below shows existing

While there is no clear correlation between certain areas/land uses and pay-by-app usage as a function of
percentage share, a few “hot spots” and “cold spots” are apparent. 200 W. between 100 and 200 S., the area
bounded by 200 S. to the north, 300 E. to the east, 400 S. to the south, and State St. to the west, South Temple
between 200 E. and 300 E., and 300 E. south of South Temple all featured multi-space meters recording over 60%
pay-by-app usage.
Relatively speaking, areas of low pay-by-app usage included most multi-space meters north of 100 S. west of 200
E. and between 400 S. and 500 S.

Figure 12. Multi-Space Meters by Pay-by-App Percent Share (July 2021 - June 2022)
Overall, for most multi-space meters, the division between transactions at the meter versus through pay-by-app is
relatively even, with the share of pay-by-app transactions ranging from 41% to 60% for 67% of all multi-space

Evaluation of Metered Parking
Evaluation Criteria
To evaluate the existing paid parking area, Walker first needed to establish the criteria by which meters are
evaluated. These evaluation criteria can also be used when determining the meter density , or number of meters
per block face, in locations the City may deem appropriate for establishing future paid parking areas that
currently do not have it.
Walker, with the input and agreement of Salt Lake City staff, has established the following criteria for evaluating
where meters should potentially be added or removed within existing paid parking areas/block faces, as well as
for assessing whether an existing unpaid area or block face may be a candidate for new metered parking.
The criteria are as follows: minimum number of meters, distance between meters, number of total transactions,
and percent share of transactions that are pay-by-app. The first two criteria are defined as requirements, which
should be satisfied regardless of any other factors, while the third and fourth criteria are defined as minimum
thresholds.
For the threshold-defined criteria, the total number of transactions should be considered the primary criterion,
instead of or equally in conjunction with share of Passport transactions, to consider a meter as a suitable
candidate for removal.
Meters with high usage will still have an absolute high number/volume of transactions at the meter, even if the
relative share of such transactions compared to Passport is greater than 50% or 60%. Also, Passport/smartphone
app usage is a metric that is more likely to vary depending on the season and other factors. Finally, it is possible
that such usage of the app versus the multi-space meter may begin to plateau in the future, with at-meter
transactions always representing a certain minimum percentage of all transactions despite smartphone and app
saturation in the marketplace.

Requirements
Figure 16 below summarizes the established requirements for evaluating all meters in both the existing paid

Figure 16. Minimum Requirements for Meters
Criteria Category Requirements
Minimum Number of Meters Minimum of 2 meters per block face
Distance between Meters Maximum of 250 feet between the meter and parking space (150 feet for human services)
Minimum Number of Meters
Walker has determined that there should be a minimum of two meters per block face, regardless of the length of
a paid parking block face or any other factors. Because this requirement establishes that meters must be located
on the same block face, parking meters that may fall within the maximum distance of a parking space but that are
located on an adjacent block face, or directly across the street, cannot count towards meeting this required
minimum requirement.
This minimum of two meters per block face was established with input from Salt Lake City staff, who determined
that each paid block face should have at least two meters to provide for redundancy in case one of the meters is
out of service or not working correctly. Under such conditions, people who choose to pay at the meter may still
do so without having to cross a street.
Distance Between Meters
If a block face falls within the paid area and has paid parking along the block face, there should typically always be
a minimum of at least one multi-space meter per 250 feet of parking frontage within the paid area. For distances
beyond 250 feet, the average parker may find that the path of travel to the nearest meter is inconvenient. Even
in a scenario where use of pay by app may be encouraged, or where the parker does not have to return to his/her
vehicle to place a paid parking receipt on their dashboard, it is recommended that parkers should not have to

walk more than one minute to reach a parking meter. At a conservatively estimated walking speed of 3 miles per
hour, it would take just under one minute to access a meter located about 250 feet away.
As the standard block face length for a typical Salt Lake City block (within the CBD) is about 660 feet, this means
that, in general, there would need to be at least two multi-space meter per block face to satisfy this distance
requirement, regardless of other factors. In such cases, the meters should optimally be positioned at even
intervals, about 1/4 and 3/4ths up the length of a full-sized block face (660 feet). For longer block faces, more
than two may be required. At such intervals, there would be a meter at 165 feet and 495 feet when measured
from a point of origin at the end of one block face, assuming that there are paid parking spaces located along the
entire block face. This would make each meter about 165 feet away from the farthest parking space.
Alternatively, for meters placed 1/3 and 2/3rds up the length of the full-sized block face, there would be a meter
at 220 and 440 feet when measured from a point of origin at the end of one block face. This would make each
meter a maximum of 220 feet away from the farthest parking space, assuming that there are paid parking spaces
located along the entire block face.
For block faces with paid parking that services specific land uses, such as human services, that may command a
need for closer parking multi-space meters than usual, the maximum distance from a meter to a parking space
should be about 150 feet. This shorter distance can make it easier for parkers with mobility issues to access
meters and/or ensure that meters are available for populations that may not have pay -by-app technology
available to them.
For any accessible on-street parking spaces within the paid area, Walker recommends that a meter be located as
close to the accessible spaces as possible.
Thresholds for Keeping Meters
Figure 17 below summarizes the established thresholds for keeping existing meters.
Figure 17. Thresholds for Keeping Existing Meters
Criteria Category Thresholds for Keeping Meters
Number of Total Transactions Minimum of 1,300 transactions per year (at meter + pay-by-app)
Percent Share Pay-by-App The percent share of transactions at the meter is at least 40% (60% pay-by-app)
Minimum Number of Transactions
Meter usage per meter by block face should be such that the revenue and number of transactions make the
individual meter profitable, or at least break-even in terms of cost, while not so high as to cause undue burden on
persons attempting to use the meter to pay for parking.
From a financially feasible perspective, a multi-space meter should support a minimum of approximately 1,300
transactions annually. This derives from an assumed 3-year return on the initial capital investment in a multi-
space meter of approximately $8,000 and an average ongoing operations and maintenance cost of $1,000
annually per multi-space meter. With 260 paid parking days enforced per year, over the 3-year period, each multi-

space meter should generate approximately $14 per day. With an average transaction value paid at the multi-
space meter of $2.79, this represents approximately 5 transactions per day or 1,300 per year.
Figure 18 summarizes the equation described above that results in the break-even number of transactions per
multi-space meter per year, as determined by Walker.
Figure 18. Summarized Equation for Determining Break-Even Number of Transactions per Year
Multi-space meters with fewer than 1,300 associated transactions per year are less likely to generate the
minimum revenues necessary to support their initial installation cost and/or ongoing operations and
maintenance. This minimum threshold is used as the base for identifying multi-space meters for potential
removal.
Percent Share Pay-by-App
In terms of the percentage of transactions that are pay-by-app versus at the meter, Walker has established the
critical threshold at 60% pay-by-app usage. Multi-space meters for which the percentage of pay-by-app
transactions is under 60% are meters for which physically paying at the meter is still a popular payment choice.
Thresholds for Adding Meters
Figure 19 below summarizes the established thresholds for keeping existing meters.
Figure 19. Thresholds for Adding Meters to Block Faces with Existing Meters
Criteria Category Thresholds for Adding New Meter
Number of Total Transactions At least one meter on a block face sees frequent “congestion,” defined as parkers who need to
queue up at the meter in order to use the meter to pay for a parking space.
Meters should be added to a block face or area if at least one meter along the block face has a high enough
average number of transactions at the meter across the paid parking period per day where paid parking is in
effect to where the meter may see “congestion.” In this context, congestion is defined as parkers needing to
queue up in order to use the meter to pay for a parking space.

Note that, for this context, only the number of transactions at the meter is relevant, as transactions associated
with a meter that take play via pay-by-app do not result in physical “congestion” at the meter.
In this study, there were a total of 6,721 at-the-meter transactions at the multi-space meter with the highest
recorded number of at-the-meter transactions (Meter #34199). When divided by 260 paid parking days and 12
hours per day where paid parking is in effect, this resulted in an average of 2.15 at-the-meter transactions per
hour. While this average does not account for variance per hour in meter usage, the average time it takes to
conduct an at-the-meter transaction is likely under 28 minutes.
At 10,000 at-the-meter transactions per year, the average number of transactions per hour would be about 3.20,
or about one every 19 minutes. It is likely that a single meter would not have frequent “congestion” unless the
meter had an average of one transaction every 15 or fewer minutes. Currently, no meter in the existing system
sees such a high level of transactions per hour, on average.
Existing Meters with Thresholds Applied
Figure 20 below shows all multi-space meters in the existing system with the total transaction volume and
percent pay-by-app use thresholds applied that were established above.
Note that meters are only shown where data for total number of transactions and pay-by-app usage was
available. Squares in red indicate that the meter fails the established threshold for the total number of
transactions needed for the meter to break even in terms of revenue. In the case of pay-by-app usage, the
threshold is expressed in terms of multi-space meter usage, with circles in red representing meter usage falling
under 60%.

By Block Face & Land Use
Figure 21 below shows the average number of multi-space meters meeting the 1,300-transaction threshold per
block face for all land uses/zones that have paid parking on at least one adjacent block face. When compared
with the total number of meters per block face for each given specific land use/zone, the difference between
figures can help to highlight selected specific land uses where there may be too many meters or about the correct
number, on average, to achieve financial feasibility. Note that block faces with at least one multi-space meter
that are divided between two or more zones were excluded from the calculations; only full block faces adjacent to
one single zone were included.

Overall, the average number of multi-space meters with an annual transaction total equal to or exceeding 1,300
per complete block face, for block faces not divided between two or more zones, ranged from 0.44 in the
Residential Mixed-Use District to 2.74 for high-activity areas within the CBD. The CBD itself had an average of
1.69 multi-space meters per full block face with at least 1,300 transactions. Outside the CBD, Gateway Mixed Use
had the highest average at 1.80 meters per block face with at least 1,300 transactions.
Figure 22 below shows the average number of multi-space meters per block face that met the transaction
threshold of 1,300 transactions per year according to more generalized land uses and densities discussed in the

Recommendations
Adding Meters
Currently, no meter in the existing system likely sees a high-enough level of transactions per hour, on average, to
warrant the need for an additional meter along a block face with existing meters. Therefore, Walker does not
currently recommend adding more meters along any block faces within the existing paid parking zone.
Walker does recommend that the City consider feedback from citizens, business owners, and paid parking users
along a block face in order to evaluate the potential need for additional meters along that block face on a case-by-
case basis. If feedback is consistently received that identifies long wait times or queues at a particular meter, the
block face upon which the meter is located should be evaluated for the addition of a meter.
Removing Existing Meters
Given the above established requirements and threshold of 1,300 transactions per year, Walker has evaluated the
existing paid parking system by block face in order to identify potential block face candidates for removal of a
meter, as shown in Figure 23 below.
Note that meter candidates identified for potential removal may not be meters that recorded fewer than 1,300
transactions. For instance, consider an existing block face with three meters that are located about a quarter,
half, and three-fourths up a block face where one of the three meters recorded fewer than 1,300 transactions.
If the meter not meeting the threshold is the one located either ¼ or ¾ the way up the block face, Walker would
suggest that the meter ½ way up the block face would be the most suitable candidate for removal, even if it
recorded more than 1,300 transactions. This is because the removal of that meter would result in more even
spacing between meters and a shorter distance from any meter to the farthest parking space on the block face,
and therefore better satisfy all the criteria established previously.
Also note that the figure below does not account for any on-street accessible parking within the paid system, if
any exists.
Finally, note that meters for which no transactions were recorded were not included in this evaluation.

WALKER CONSULTANTS | 37
Figure 23. Multi-Space Meter Candidates for Removal in Existing Paid System
In all, Walker has identified 27 out of 280 currently deployed and operational multi-space meters that may be
candidates for removal, excluding meters with no recorded transactions that may not have been operational and
deployed during the time period for which data was analyzed in this study. Note that some of the meters may be

Metered Parking Analysis (DRAFT)
WALKER CONSULTANTS | 38
located off-street and/or in a mid-block alley. In all cases, these represent associated block faces with three or
more existing meters where at least one meter does not meet the 1,300 -meter transaction threshold. Candidates
were selected that appeared to leave the most even spacing between meters on a block face, with meters
satisfying the 250-foot maximum distance requirement.
Walker recommends that block faces with meters identified as candidates for removal be evaluated further
before being considered for removal. Criteria for further evaluation may include whether the block face is to see
notable densification or redevelopment in the future that may increase parking use on that block face, or whether
the meter is located near a particular institutional use where more meters may be warranted. Also, if accessible
parking spaces are located near a meter identified as a candidate for removal, Walker would recommend that the
meter remain.
A detailed list of the meter locations identified for potential removal is located in the Appendix.
Replacement Cost and Quantity Estimates
Figure 24 below shows the estimated cost range for replacement of the existing meter inventory (deployed and
operational meters). Figures are shown for both complete replacement of the entire existing deployed and
operational inventory as well as replacement minus the meter locations identified as candidates for removal in
the previous section.

The estimated cost for replacing all existing 280 deployed and operational meters ranges from about $1.4 million
to $2.2 million. However, if replacement were to occur without replacing all 27 meters locations identified as
candidates for removal, the cost would range from about $1.3 million to $2.1 million. As a result, total initial, up-
front cost savings would range from $85k to $136k.

Potential Expansion of Parking Meters
As Salt Lake City continues to grow, densify, and diversify, the City may wish to expand the location(s) where
parking meters are installed. In this section, Walker provides a high-level framework for formulating a roadmap
for future expansions based on an evaluation and consolidation of future known developments in the short and
mid-term, as well as future land uses in the long term, as informed by various applicable sub-area and
neighborhood plans.
Short to Mid Term
The City furnished to Walker a map, current as of July 2022, of known future downtown developments that are
under construction, soon to be under construction, or that planned/proposed. Developments range from
residential to commercial/retail and are mid-density to high-density in nature. Figure 25 below shows the
locations of these various developments. By Walker’s count, there are about 68 developments shown.
Figure 25. Future Downtown Developments (July 2022)

WALKER CONSULTANTS | 42
Figure 26 below shows the existing paid parking areas and study areas for this project along with a contiguous
area in yellow that outlines and encompasses the future downtown developments shown above. Note that the
area has been drawn such that whole blocks are included if at least one new development is contained within.
Figure 26. Short-Term and Mid-Term Downtown Growth Area and Existing Paid Parking Area
Salt Lake City Corporation
Metered Parking Analysis (DRAFT)
WALKER CONSULTANTS | 43
In all, an area that encompasses all known new development downtown and adjacent to downtown would
represent about a 2.4% increase in the number of block faces covered compared to the existing paid parking area
shown above. There are about 102 block faces currently that are within the paid area while the growth area
represents an area of about 244 block faces as drawn. Also, for each block or partial block within the area, only
the block faces interior to the respective block were counted. Block faces on the opposite side of the street, or
exterior to the block face, along the periphery of the area were not counted.
Cost and Quantity Estimates
If the City were to extend the paid parking area to this whole area, it would therefore represent about a 2.4x
increase in the size of the paid parking area, not including Sugar House. If assuming about 2 meters per block
face, regardless of land use, this would equal to an increase in the total number of multi-space meters in the
system of about 488 meters, give or take. If assuming about 3 meters per block face, it would result in an
increase of about 732 meters, give or take.
As of 2022, the average cost of a multi-space parking meter, including installation and other up-front costs such
as hardware, software, and configuration, ranges from about $5,000 to about $8,000, depending on v endor and
other factors. These costs do not include ongoing capital costs such as maintenance and software/platform
subscriptions. Figure 27 below provides high-level cost range estimates for an expansion of the paid area into the
areas shown in yellow in Figure 26.
Estimates are shown assuming 2 meters per block face, as this is both the minimum requirement outlined in the
analysis on existing metered parking as well as the average number of recommended meters per Downtown-
length block face for all general land uses except high-activity, high-density commercial. It should be noted that
the number of meters recommended for new high-density, high-activity commercial areas would be 3 meters per
block face, consistent with the average number of meters that met transaction criteria for such areas. As a result,
Walker has provided estimated costs assuming both 2 and 3 meters per block face for illustrative purposes.
Figure 27. Cost Estimates for Expansion of Paid Area into Short- and Mid-Term Downtown Growth Areas
Cost Range per Meter in 2022 Projected Cost for New Meters (Downtown) Estimated Cost
Difference At 2 per Block Face At 3 per Block Face
$5,000 $2,440,000 $3,660,000 $1,220,000
$8,000 $3,904,000 $5,856,000 $1,952,000
In all, a high-level cost estimate for increasing the size by 2.4x of the current metered parking area, as indicated in
Figure 26, would range from about $2.4 million to $3.9 million, assuming 2 meters per block face, and would
range from about $3.7 million to $5.9 million, assuming 3 meters per block face.
Mid to Long Term
Future land uses as planned and displayed in the various neighborhood and sub-area plans that have been
officially adopted for all the neighborhood and community areas that are covered by the study areas are also
included within the study area.
These applicable sub-area, neighborhood, or community plans are the following:

• Gateway District Land Development and
Master Plan
In order to provide a framework for understanding the number of parking meters and density that may be
required of the future land uses, Walker has evaluated the applicable future land use plans and maps and created
a composite of all future land uses across the study areas. This composite is shown in Figure 56 in the Appendix.
After compiling the map shown in Figure 56, Walker then dissolved the various land uses, labels, zone/use
nomenclatures, and legend/map colors shown in each plan and map into the same common general land use
category/density combinations that were used in the Existing Metered Parking section of this report (Figures 10
and 21) in order to make comparison of future land uses across plans possible. Note that only mid-density and
high-density commercial, residential, and mixed-use specific categories were considered.
A detailed table that displays all specific land use categories and colors used in each of the land use maps shown
in the composite above, and the general land use/density category(ies) to which they were associated/matched
by Walker, is provided in the Appendix.
A map of all future land uses with generalized land use/density categories is shown in Figure 28 on the next page.
For purposes of this map, Walker included mid- and high-density land uses that straddled the study area
boundaries. For Sugar House, Walker included and mapped generalized land uses falling within a quarter-mile
buffer of the study area boundary.

The average number of meters that meet the 1,300-transaction minimum threshold, as reiterated above, ranged
from about 1 to 2 per block face (2.74 average for high-activity, high-density commercial areas). However, since
the City has specified that a minimum of two meters per full block face should always be installed regardless of
usage or other factors, this means that the number of meters per downtown block face for all general uses and
densities should be 2 for all land uses with an average of 2.00 or below. For high-activity, high-density
commercial areas, 3 meters per block face are recommended as the average number of meters meeting the
transaction threshold is above 2.00 (2.74).
It should be noted that for certain institutional and human resource land uses, a minimum of 3 or 4 meters per
block face should be installed. Also, as shown in the table, for high-activity areas within the high-density
commercial area, the average number of meters per block face where the threshold is met exceeds two. As a
result, for such areas, 3 meters per block face should be considered.
Figure 30 on the next page shows the existing paid area combined with the short- and mid-term growth area in
yellow, as shown in Figure 25 above, along with an additional area that outlines additional mid- and high-density
residential, mixed use, and commercial growth areas as determined from the consolidated future land uses
shown in Figure 28. These additional areas are shown in orange. In the case of Sugar House, such future land
uses that fall within a quarter-mile buffer of the study area were included.
Note that future mid- and high-density land uses contained within the study areas for this project do not
necessarily account for whether or not the given density and land use falls within an urban or a suburban/car-
orientated context. For instance, the medium-density residential located immediately east of the Forest Dale Golf
Course, in Sugar House, is an existing suburban-style apartment complex that lacks internal on-street parking and
may not be a good candidate for metered parking.
As a result, the mid- and long-term growth areas in orange are drawn to encompass only mid- and high-density
residential, mixed-use, and commercial future land areas that exist currently with an urban context/typology
within the study area, as areas that are not within such a context/typology may not be well suited for paid parking
even in the long term. These are the areas within which Walker has considered for purposes of estimating the
number of meters that would be needed to serve the areas.
Also, Walker drew the mid- to long-term areas so as to encompass blocks and/or block faces that completely or
nearly completely fall under a future mid- or high-density residential, mixed use, or commercial land use. As a
result, the growth area excludes some of the mid-density residential future land uses in the eastern third of the

Cost and Quantity Estimates
Walker has provided below a high-level estimate for the number of meters that might be installed in the mid- and
high-density residential, mixed-use, and commercial areas in the Sugar House and Downtown study area in the
mid- to long-term, as informed by the consolidated future land uses. Only the mid- and high-density residential,
mixed use, and commercial future land uses included within the orange areas shown in the previous figure have
been considered for purposes of estimating the number of meters that would be needed to serve block faces
within the respective areas.
Downtown Growth Area
Figure 31 shows the estimated approximate number of block faces or visually combined partial block faces, called
“block face equivalents,” within the main orange area (downtown) by general land use classification.
Note that these estimates exclude existing block faces where there is no parking. Also, they only account for
existing block faces along existing streets. Third, frontage of blocks along freeways, viaducts, and other such
corridors were excluded. Finally, these estimates do NOT account or consider alleys or some mid-block streets
that may occur across the orange area, particularly at the periphery in The Avenues and at the south.
Estimates are shown assuming 2 meters per block face, as this is both the minimum requirement outlined in the
analysis on existing metered parking as well as the average number of recommended meters per Downtown-
length block face for all general land uses except high-activity, high-density commercial. It should be noted that
the number of meters recommended for new high-density, high-activity commercial areas would be 3 meters per
block face, consistent with the average number of meters that met transaction criteria for such areas. As a result,
Walker has provided estimated costs assuming both 2 and 3 meters per block face for illustrative purposes.

Walker estimates that there are approximately 155 block faces or block face equivalents within the Downtown
mid- to long-term area. At 2 meters per block face, the cost range would be approximately $1.6 million to $2.5
million. At 3 meters per block face, the cost range would be approximately $2.3 million to $3.7 million.
Sugar House Growth Area
Figure 33 shows the estimated approximate number of block faces or visually combined partial block faces, called
“block face equivalents,” within the smaller orange area to the south (Sugar House), as defined in Figure 30
above, by general land use classification.
Note that these estimates exclude existing block faces where there is no parking. Also, for some irregular and/or
curved block faces, Walker visually estimated the equivalent or approximate number of qualifying block faces
within the defined area. Third, they only account for existing block faces along existing streets. Finally, frontages
of blocks along the 80 Freeway were excluded.
Estimates are shown assuming both 1 meter per block face and 2 meters per block face. While 2 meters per
block face was one requirement outlined in the analysis on existing metered parking, that requirement was
determined partly based on the fact that the standard block face length in Salt Lake City is about 660 feet.
Standard Sugar House block faces, at 360 feet, are a little more than half that length. Therefore, only one meter
per block may be sufficient to serve some or most typical block faces in Sugar House.

Walker estimates that there are approximately 143 block faces or block face equivalents within the Sugar House
mid- to long-term area. At 1 meter per block face, the cost range would be approximately $700k to $1.1 million.
At 2 meters per block face, the cost range would be approximately $1.4 million to $2.3 million.

Metered Parking Policies, Rates, & Fees
Existing Policies, Rates, & Fees in Salt Lake City
Walker researched Salt Lake City’s existing metered parking system and documented the following items: on-
street metered parking rates, hours of enforcement, time limits, overnight parking, “move -it” policies, and fines
for various selected parking violations that pertain to on-street metered parking/paid parking areas.
On-Street Parking Time Limits

Peer City Benchmarking
For the topics researched and documented in the previous section, Walker performed benchmarking for six peer
cities across the western United States. These cities are Denver, Sacramento, Boise, Austin, Portland, and Seattle.
Two of the six peer cities – Portland and Seattle – were selected as aspirational communities that feature
metered/paid on-street parking systems that are larger and more complex than Salt Lake City’s existing system.
Information for peer cities is believed to be current as of August 2022.

Selected Off-Street Parking Rates & Fees
Salt Lake City does not directly own, operate, or manage any paid off -street parking facilities for general public
use. However, as part of this study, Walker has performed an overview of paid parking rates for privately owned -
and -operated off-street parking facilities downtown as a benchmark for which to compare existing on-street
parking rates.
In all, Walker benchmarked 26 off-street parking facilities that offer paid parking for general public use. Rates
researched are shown in Figure 50 below and are current as of July 2022. Note that per-hour figures in cells
highlighted in light orange have been calculated from a listed rate other than one hour (e.g., a given rate for 20
minutes was multiplied by 3 to determine the effective rate for 1 hour).

Also, Walker has researched the cost of monthly parking permit rates at selected off -street facilities where such
parking is offered. While Salt Lake City currently does not offer or provide permit-based parking at any of its paid
on-street meters, it could use off-street parking permit rates benchmarked here as a baseline for establishing
costs for such permits in the future. In all, 15 downtown parking facilities were researched that offered, as of July
2022, monthly permitted parking, as shown in Figure 52 below.

Recommendations & Other Suggested Items
On-Street Parking Time Limits
Salt Lake City has a uniform time limit of two hours in place for all metered parking. It is the only city, compared
to the peer cities examined, that has a uniform time limit. Having different time limits in place can serve to
customize or tailor on-street parking to the adjacent land uses the parking serves and account for the particular
predominate use case for that parking.
Longer time limits can allow for longer parking stays to take place, giving parkers a chance to avoid citations for
overtime parking or for “feeding the meter.” Shorter time limits can allow for higher turnover compared to the
average parking space for very high demand or high-activity parking spaces.
From a revenue generation perspective, time limits for paid parking are mostly unrelated to a space’s revenue
generation potential. Within an 8-hour period, the amount of revenue generated would be the same (under a
flat-rate system) whether the space sees four vehicles parked for 2 hours a piece or whether it sees one vehicle
parked for 8 hours. It should be noted that under a tiered system, longer time limits may actually increase
revenue compared to a flat-rate system, all other things being equal, since some parkers will pay a higher rate per
hour to for longer stays.
Recommendations
• In conjunction with suggested actions regarding parking rates, increase time limit from 2 to 4 hours, at
least for most spaces within the paid system.
o A tiered or graduated rate structure would take over as the primary mechanism for encouraging
turnover and incentivizing shorter stays while allowing longer stays if needed without being in
violation.
o A maximum time limit should still be in place to discourage overnight parking.
Suggested Items for Consideration
• Time limits of fewer than 2 hours for certain spaces in very high demand areas or in other special
contexts.
On-Street Parking Rates
Salt Lake City is a large city and has a high-activity and diverse downtown that continues to grow. It is not
exclusively comprised of office land use where activity peaks between 9 AM and 5 PM on weekdays. The
downtown, as well as peripheral areas such as Gateway, feature dining, night life, entertainment, and services
land uses, as well as the continued development of multi-family residential.
On-street meter rates today in Salt Lake City are universally $2.25 per hour, and Saturdays and Sundays are free.
This is despite substantial differences in the ways that parkers use metered parking, as well as differences in
parking occupancy and activity levels across the paid parking area. Also, according to Walker’s current
understanding, a two-hour time limit for on-street parking still applies on Saturdays despite decreased or no
enforcement on Saturdays as parking is free.

Metered Parking Analysis (DRAFT)
WALKER CONSULTANTS | 64
Every peer city examined has on-street metered parking rates that varied across the system. Rates vary as a
function of area or zone, length of stay, tier, or time of day. It should be noted that, for every peer city, the
highest rate observed, for at least the first 2 hours, was lower than Salt Lake City’s flat rate, with the typical
highest rate for the first hour, regardless of tier or zone, being $2 per hour.
In the case of parking rates that vary by area, some areas/zones feature higher per-hour rates than others as a
function of the land use density and activity levels of a given area. The highest-activity areas within the central
business district command higher prices than lower-density areas and/or areas with lower activity levels. The
rate, therefore, takes into account the value, or the “market rate,” of on-street parking dynamically. An
alternative or additional way to account for the “market rate” of a respective metered parking space is to vary the
rate by time of day or day of week, acknowledging that parking demand may differ widely based on time of day
for all areas/zones, regardless of the peak level of activity for that area/zone.
In the case of parking rates that vary by length of stay, rates are designed to escalate according to a tier structure,
with lower rates for the first hour or two than for subsequent hours. For these peer systems, a graduated, or
tiered, rate system accomplishes the purpose of encouraging on-street parking turnover while also allowing for
longer parking stays to take place if needed, giving parkers a chance to avoid citations for overtime parking or for
“feeding the meter.
Parking meter rates should, first and foremost, be set at rates that match the cost of services and programs that
the revenue is intended to pay for. Also, they should be responsive to users’ parking behavior patterns, which can
differ widely, and potentially be future proofed for managing other uses of the curb within the paid parking area,
such as TNC’s (Uber/Lyft), commercial deliveries/loading, or other short-term use.
One other important consideration or best practice is that on-street parking should, in general, be more
expensive per hour than off-street parking. This is to incentivize longer-term parkers to use off-street facilities,
freeing up on-street parking for shorter stays and increasing parking availability for customers or visitors. If on -
street parking is not as expensive as off-street parking, on-street parking may be occupied by employees and
other long-term parkers who are cost incentivized not to use off-street parking, which typically already operates
at a competitive and convenience disadvantage. Parkers of all user groups may elect to “cruise,” or circulate
around the street grid looking for or waiting for an on-street space to free up instead of using an off-street space.
This can cause inconvenience from a time perspective as well as cause traffic congestion and unnecessary
greenhouse gas emissions.
While Salt Lake City does not operate a system of city-owned and -operated parking structures or lots intended
for general public use, the average per-hour rate for private parking garages is higher than the per-hour rate for
on-street parking by more than a dollar. For long-term parkers, a rate structure should be set up such that the
rate per hour for stays exceeding 4 hours is higher than the predominate average off -street parking rate, in order
to incentivize parkers to use off-street facilities instead for long stays.
Recommendations
• Increase base rate from $2.25 to $2.50 per hour.
• Transition to a tiered rate structure where parking rates increase per hour for longer parking stays
o In order to disincentivize long-term stays, and encourage such parkers to use off-street facilities,
the per-hour rate should incrementally increase until at least the average off-street public parking
rate is reached or exceeded.
Salt Lake City Corporation

WALKER CONSULTANTS | 65
o For the existing paid parking area, Walker recommends the following tiered rate schedule:
▪ $2.50 per hour for the first 2 hours.
▪ $5 per hour for the 3rd hour.
▪ $10 per hour for the 4th hour.
Suggested Items for Consideration
• Zone-based pricing for on-street rates
o Zones should be defined based on parking demand patterns in a given area.
▪ Sugar House can or should be a separate zone from the existing paid area (downtown),
with its own rate schedule that is commensurate with parking demand patterns in that
area.
▪ Downtown can or should be divided into at least 2 zones, with 1 zone comprising high-
utilization parking areas with higher rates and the other comprising lower-utilization
parking areas with lower rates.
• A different tiered rate schedule or flat per-hour schedule could be put into place
for lower-demand zone(s).
▪ Other zones can be added when or if the area of the paid parking system were to
increase with their own rate structure.
On-Street Hours and Days of Enforcement
Hours of enforcement are Monday – Friday from 8 AM to 8 PM in Salt Lake City. As with parking rates, this is also
despite substantial differences in the ways that parkers use metered parking, as well as diffe rences in parking
occupancy and activity levels across the paid parking area.
Accordingly, every peer city examined also set different hours of enforcement that varied as a function of the
same variables used to determine rate structures. Paid parking, as a baseline, should be in place during all time
periods where parking activity levels warrant or justify it.
Hours of enforcement should correlate with the dynamic rate structure and also be set as a function of the
“market rate” and occupancy/behavior patterns. Parking enforcement requires time, labor, and resources.
Enforcement should be more concentrated in areas of higher activity and/or higher revenue generation, and
hours of enforcement should differ based on the parking activity patterns of a given area. Finally, cost-effective
enforcement should be active during all times for which parking restrictions are in place in any paid system/within
any paid area.
Recommendations
• Expand paid parking into Saturdays.
o This change would align enforcement hours with paid parking hours across the week.
• Extend paid parking to 10 PM within the existing paid parking area.
Suggested Items for Consideration
• Later end time for enforcement in areas and on days where on-street parking utilization remains elevated
past 10 PM.
o Such areas may include land uses such as night life, entertainment, et cetera.
Salt Lake City Corporation
Metered Parking Analysis (DRAFT)
WALKER CONSULTANTS | 66
• Earlier end time for enforcement in areas and on days where on-street parking utilization may decrease
substantially after a certain time, making enforcement non-cost-effective
o Such areas may include land uses such as single-use office.
▪ For such areas, enforcement may conclude at 5 or 6 PM.
Special Events
Like some of the peer cities examined, Salt Lake City’s downtown features at least one significant generator of
special event activity: the Vivint Arena, used for professional basketball as well as for other special events such as
concerts. As a result, on-street parking activity along streets immediately surrounding the arena may surge
during games or events, which may occur during evenings or on weekends, and/or when parking activity levels
are much lower than their typical peak. On-street parking in this area during such events should be reflective of
and responsive to such surges, regardless of whether they remain at a flat rate or are set to vary during non-event
times.
Suggested Items for Consideration
• Establish a special zone or an overlay zone around the Vivint Arena where special event paid parking rates
and hours of enforcement would apply during large events at the arena.
o For special event rates, the existing two-hour time limit for on-street parking would have to be
eliminated or modified (See “Time Limits” above).
o Walker suggests setting per-hour special event rates for the first 1 -2 hours based on the average
per-hour rate for the off-street parking system to provide non-event parkers with an on-street
parking option.
o For every hour after the 2nd hour, the per-hour rate should be such that the “max rate” for an
event should be competitive with event day maxes for the off-street parking system.
Overnight Parking
Salt Lake City is in line with most peer cities in terms of overnight parking. One city has implemented a special
rate structure and policies for overnight parking.
Suggested Items for Consideration
• None at this time.
Move-It Policy
All peer cities that had a “Move-It” policy in place required vehicles within the on-street metered area to move at
least one block face away from where they were previously parked once they reach the maximum time limit.
However, all peer cities examined have typical city block lengths that are shorter than downtown Salt Lake City.
Also, the time for which a parker may not be allowed to park within the minimum distance that the parker was
required to move was at least 3 hours. Typically, a “no repark allowed” time of at least 3 hours helps to
discourage drivers from moving to take advantage of longer time limits and/or lower parking rates that may go
into effect during the parker’s stay.
Salt Lake City Corporation
Metered Parking Analysis (DRAFT)
WALKER CONSULTANTS | 67
Suggested Items for Consideration
• Increase the time period for which a vehicle may not be allowed to return to the same parking space to at
least 4 hours if time limits are expanded to 4 hours (See “Time Limits” above).
Violations & Fines
Fine amounts for parking violations should be set such that they incentivize parkers to not commit recurring
violations. For violations that are serious in nature, fines should be set such that parkers are highly incentivized
not to commit any violation.
While the ultimate goal of parking management is to create and support transportation options for people and
support uniform following of all rules and regulations, fines for violations are an important part of encouraging
compliance and mitigating the negative consequences of rule breaking. For example, when a parker chooses to
overstay a time limit in a parking space, they in turn reduce the ability of that parking space to serve other
parkers. When a parker neglects to pay for a metered parking space, they reduce the revenue generated by that
parking space and can impact the city’s ability to run services and programs paid for by parking revenues.
There is undoubtedly a community impact associated with parking violations. If fines are too low, and especially if
enforcement is lacking, parkers may simply choose to risk citation and pay a fine instead of moving their vehicles
or paying the per-hour rate.
Salt Lake City’s fine for overtime meters was in line with the peer city average. The city’s fine for meter violations
was much higher, though the violation may be defined differently than for peer cities and is this not directly
comparable. Fines for parking outside of allowed hours and for feeding the meter were lower than the peer city
average, though it should be noted that some peer cities had rate and time limit structures such that those
violations are partially or completely obsolete in those cities.
The major divergence of note was the fine for accessible space violations, where the fine in Salt Lake City was
notably less than the average for the peer cities. It was also less than the suggested fine amount found in the
2022 Uniform Fine Schedule as published by the Utah State Court System. Two of the 6 peer cities featured some
version of graduated fines as a disincentive for repeated offenses.
Recommendations
• Increase fines from the current levels for all 5 parking violation types discussed in the peer benchmarking
analysis.
o Increases should bring fines for given violations more in line with the peer city averages and/or
take into account inflation since fines were originally established.
• The fine for accessible space violations should be closer to the suggested fine published by the Utah State
Courts as of 2022 in their Uniform Fine Schedule ($340).
Suggested Items for Consideration
• Consider a graduated fine structure where fines increase by at least 25% for subsequent parking
violations of the same type that occur within one year of the first such violation.

Current Status
The Salt Lake City Fire Department (SLCFD) currently operates three Medical Response Teams (MRTs) with another
funded at the Salt Lake City Airport beginning in January of 2024 for a total of four MRTs. Each MRT is comprised of 4
Firefighters (FFs), for a total of 16 FFs allocated and funded for the MRT program. All FFs currently allocated to the MRT
are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). By staffing a MRT with 3 EMTs and 1 Paramedic, rather than 4 EMTS, the
response capability would increase by
Replacing one of the EMTs as a Paramedic (Advanced Life Support or ALS) would increase the capability of the MRTs by
approximately 30% and allow them to perform more advanced patient assessments.
Paramedics are currently at a premium nationwide. Fortunately, SLCFD trains and remains appropriately staffed with
Paramedics on our Medic Engines (4-handed) for our optimal response model - two Paramedics on each of eight daily
Medic (ALS) Engines within SLC. These Medic Engines respond to the most serious medical and fire calls and should
remain staffed in this configuration as a 4-handed unit for maximum capability.
Proposal
This item it to establish 4 new FTEs (Medical Response Paramedics) and reclassify 4 existing FTEs (Firefighters) to
Medical Response Paramedics.
The SLCFD proposes to diversify our current MRT model by replacing and displacing a total of eight (8) MRT FF EMTs
with Medical Response Paramedics (SRPs). This would ideally staff one (1) Paramedic on each unit of four daily operating
MRTs.
The transition would expand the current MRTs response capability with an ALS component while maintaining the integrity
of the MRT as a FD resource responding from and residing within select SLCFD fire stations.
The SRPs would be civilian, potentially sworn, and eligible to participate in the Firefighters or Tier 2 Public
Safety/Firefighter retirement systems.
The SRPs would participate in a training regimen developed by the SLCFD for their specific role within our EMS response
model. SRPs will serve under a new job title, new wage schedule, and possibly as part of SLCFD’s Local 81 labor group.
Process
The SLCFD would realize eight (8) Medical Response Paramedics through a combination of additional FTEs and
conversion of existing FTEs:
1. SLCFD is requesting four (4) additional FTEs in the form of Medical Response Paramedics at a half-year cost $150,119
plus some start-up costs of $10,400. Full year funding for FY25 would be an additional budget increase of $142,519. No
new equipment (radio’s, tablets, vehicles, etc.) is required. These new positions would be funded for six months beginning
January 2024.
2. SLCFD would retain the option to convert four (4) existing vacant FF positions currently funded for the MRT to SRPs by
the end of calendar year 2023.
3. The remaining four FFs displaced by the four requested SRPs would be utilized to fill 4 -handed vacancies or additional
resources throughout Salt Lake City in an effort to reduce OT and consistently staff SLCFD heavy apparatus.

This funding is to establish and support four (4) new FTEs, creating the Legislative Division within the City Attorney’s
office. The primary focus of this division will be on legislative affairs, with special focus on the legislative session and the
various impacts to Salt Lake City. The proposed funding in the amount of $297,220.40 assumes the positions to be filled
for six-months in Fiscal Year 2024, with a hire date in January. The four (4) positions are to be ongoing, with a financial
impact of $594,440.79 annually beginning if FY25. The four proposed positions are as follows:
• Legislative Affairs Director (E34)
• Senior City Attorney (E39)
• Special Projects Analyst (E26)
• Administrative Assistant (N21)

A-7: Access Control System Upgrade – Security GF $400,000.00
Department: Public Services Prepared By: Jorge Chamorro
For questions, please include Jorge Chamorro
The current access control system and devices across City buildings are now considered outdated and vulnerable, and staff
are proposing this be addressed before the system fails. This system is used for access badges issued to all City employees
to scan at certain doors to gain access to a given space. The Safety and Security Program proposes continuing the transition
to the S2 control access system as a City-wide standard.
With the recent allocation of funding from Council, the Public Safety Buildi ng and City Hall have upgraded their back-end
software. The funding requested for the next phase should transition Plaza 349 and the Justice Courts. Additionally, access
cards and card readers will be purchased for all four buildings. This project scope has been developed with staff from
various departments, including IMS, to ensure standards and needs are met. The estimated cost for this project is
$400,000.

Public Services - Compliance is requesting a transfer of $20,000 to the Fleet Replacement Fund helping cover the
difference in cost to purchase two electric trucks instead of the originally funded smaller vehicles.
Fleet has been presented with an opportunity to order these electric trucks. One of the vehicles is part of the replacement
cycle, upgrading the originally intended vehicle to a more capable one, and will allow for Parking Enforcement operations
to continue during winter snow events, especially in areas like the Avenues. Additionally, the extra cargo space is needed to
transport equipment such as pay station kiosks and equipment as needed. In addition to these advantages, the second

A-9: Road Marking Maintenance GF $200,000.00
Department: Public Services – Streets Prepared By: Jorge Chamorro
For question, please include Jorge Chamorro
Over the past few years the Transportation Division has been successful in obtaining funding for special road markings
through the CIP process, which include green paint on certain bike lanes .
After assessing the current inventory of assets made up of 1010 bike racks and 3.23 miles of green-painted bike lanes and
markings, staff has concluded that this ongoing maintenance need should no longer rely on the CIP process but rather be
added to the Streets operating budget. At this time the need does not justify upfront cost of equipment procurement,
Streets will develop a maintenance schedule and oversee a contract to perform the necessary maintenance work. If funding
is approved for this item, though most of the work would not occur in the winter, contract development and work
scheduling could be done in the meantime with work happening as weather allows.
The Streets Division is requesting $200,000 to be added to their budget for ongoing maintenance of road markings and
assets recently inventoried.
A-10: Pay Station Replacement GF $135,992.49
Department: Public Services/Finance
For questions please include Mary Beth Thompson and Jorge Chamorro
The current pay stations were purchased over 10 years ago. Due to their age, they are past the end of their useful life and a t
risk of failure. New pay stations will allow the City to modernize the services offered to end users. The new pay stations
will provide more features for the public including parking payment, information sharing about events going on city wide,
the capability to pay by license plate technology, potential pollution sensors, and other innovative features. The
modernization of the pay stations will allow for smoother staff operations and continued service to end users. City Finance
is recommending a 7-year amortization rather than using the General Fund for one-time payment.
The amortization schedule is attached and includes a 7-year payment schedule, with $135,992.49 due in Year 1, and
$271,984.98 due in years two (2) through year seven (7). This includes an interest rate of 4.60%. The Council may consider
a 5-year schedule which is also attached, with an interest rate of 4.77%.
This item is being brought forward with Budget Amendment 3 due to the Request for Proposal process and market
conditions around equipment. At the time of budget development, staff did not have clear insight into the cost or timeline
of pay station procurement and delivery. Following the completion of the RFP process, staff feel it is best to proceed with
the selected vendor for the reasons outlined above.

($205,177.00)
CIP ($750,000.00)
Fleet Fund $955,177.00
Department: Public Services Prepared By: Denise Sorensen,
Julie Crookston, Greg Cleary
For questions, please include Jorge Chamorro, Dawn Valente, Mike Atkinson, and Mary Beth Thompson
Streets received notification in August that the Council had adopted the CIP application of equipment for the Mill &
Overlay program, totaling $750,000. As Streets began to coordinate with Fleet to purchase the equipment it became
apparent that the manufacturers ordering window for 2023 had already closed. The 2024 window has now opened,
however the manufacturer increased prices such that there is now a $205,200 deficit (includes make -ready). This item is to
request an additional $205,200 to cover the increase in price, as well as the transfer of the $750,000 from the CIP Fund to
the Fleet Replacement Fund.
The vendor has notified us that there will be another price increase, estimated at approximately $7,000 around mid -
December 2023. The next price increase will incur in July 2024, however if we do not have the equipment by Spring 2024
it will be very difficult to evaluate the pilot program as the equipment used during the first part of the fiscal year has been a
combination of shared and/or rented.
This item includes financial adjustments from the Transportation Fund (1/4 cent sales tax), CIP Funds, and the Fleet Fund
to ensure the most appropriate use of funds for the proposed capital equipment procurement. When initially preparing the
Capital Budget, the Mill and Overlay Maintenance Pilot Program was funded in the amount of $750,000 with the ¼ cent
sales tax or the “Transportation Fund”, which is to be dedicated to transportation related projects. However, after
consultation with city staff, it was determined that the ¼ cent sales tax is no t intended to support equipment expenses. As
a result, staff is reallocating the $750,00o to the Complete Streets Project, and is proposing to utilize an additional
$205,177 of available Transportation Funds to support the Complete Streets Reconstruction Project, where this funding
source is better aligned and is eligible for the given project.
This adjustment results in a reduction of general CIP funds needed to support the Complete Streets Reconstruction Project
in the amount of $750,000, which are to be transferred to the Fleet Fund for the capital equipment procurement in
support of the Mill and Overlay project. The end result of these adjustments includes the use of $205,177 of Transportation
Funds to support the Complete Streets Project.
A-16: The Road Home - Family Hotel Winter Interim Plan GF $300,000.00
Department: CAN Prepared by: Brent Beck, Greg
Cleary
For questions, please include Blake Thomas and Andrew Johnston
In support of The Road Home program, staff is proposing the use of up to $300,000 from General Fund Fund Balance to
assist the State by adding additional motel options for families ahead of the winter months. The goal of this program is to
expand support for families to step out of the cold into a sheltered situation until the opening of the Family Non-
Congregate Shelter in 2024. The use of $300,000 from GF Fund Balance is proposed following council action in Budget
Amendment #2, which allocated $1M back to Fund Balance, associated with the Discontinued Deeply Affordable Housing
Development.
Attached is the Road Home Family Hotel Winter Interim Plan which outlines the program in more detail, challenges the
program faces, staffing levels, and how additional funds will support the program.
The Administration is requesting that the Council hold a Straw Poll on funding this initiative to expedite the budget for
use in this program.

Section A: New Items
A-1: Fire Department Medical Response Paramedics GF $150,119.00
GF $10,400.00
Department: Fire Prepared By: Chief Karl Lieb / Clint
Rasmussen
For questions, please include Chief Lieb, Clint Rasmussen, Greg Cleary and Mary Beth Thompson
Current Status
The Salt Lake City Fire Department (SLCFD) currently operates three Medical Response Teams (MRTs) with another
funded at the Salt Lake City Airport beginning in January of 2024 for a total of four MRTs. Each MRT is comprised of 4
Firefighters (FFs), for a total of 16 FFs allocated and funded for the MRT program. All FFs currently allocated to the MRT
are Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs). By staffing a MRT with 3 EMTs and 1 Paramedic, rather than 4 EMTS, the
response capability would increase by
Replacing one of the EMTs as a Paramedic (Advanced Life Support or ALS) would increase the capability of the MRTs by
approximately 30% and allow them to perform more advanced patient assessments.
Paramedics are currently at a premium nationwide. Fortunately, SLCFD trains and remains appropriately staffed with
Paramedics on our Medic Engines (4-handed) for our optimal response model - two Paramedics on each of eight daily
Medic (ALS) Engines within SLC. These Medic Engines respond to the most serious medical and fire calls and should
remain staffed in this configuration as a 4-handed unit for maximum capability.
Proposal
This item it to establish 4 new FTEs (Medical Response Paramedics) and reclassify 4 existing FTEs (Firefighters) to
Medical Response Paramedics.
The SLCFD proposes to diversify our current MRT model by replacing and displacing a total of eight (8) MRT FF EMTs
with Medical Response Paramedics (SRPs). This would ideally staff one (1) Paramedic on each unit of four daily operating
MRTs.
The transition would expand the current MRTs response capability with an ALS component while maintaining the integrity
of the MRT as a FD resource responding from and residing within select SLCFD fire stations.
The SRPs would be civilian, potentially sworn, and eligible to participate in the Firefighters or Tier 2 Public
Safety/Firefighter retirement systems.
The SRPs would participate in a training regimen developed by the SLCFD for their specific role within our EMS response
model. SRPs will serve under a new job title, new wage schedule, and possibly as part of SLCFD’s Local 81 labor group.
Process
The SLCFD would realize eight (8) Medical Response Paramedics through a combination of additional FTEs and
conversion of existing FTEs:
1. SLCFD is requesting four (4) additional FTEs in the form of Medical Response Paramedics at a half-year cost $150,119
plus some start-up costs of $10,400. Full year funding for FY25 would be an additional budget increase of $142,519. No
new equipment (radio’s, tablets, vehicles, etc.) is required. These new positions would be funded for six months beginning
January 2024.
2. SLCFD would retain the option to convert four (4) existing vacant FF positions currently funded for the MRT to SRPs by
the end of calendar year 2023.
3. The remaining four FFs displaced by the four requested SRPs would be utilized to fill 4 -handed vacancies or additional
resources throughout Salt Lake City in an effort to reduce OT and consistently staff SLCFD heavy apparatus.

Department: Finance & Economic Development Prepared By: Mary Beth Thompson
Funding in the amount of $14,225.00 is being requested to cover expenses for one grant employee for the remainder of the

Department: City Attorney Prepared By: Katherine Lewis
For questions, please include Mary Beth Thompson, Greg Cleary, Katie Lewis
This funding is to establish and support four (4) new FTEs, creating the Legislative Division within the City Attorney’s
office. The primary focus of this division will be on legislative affairs, with special focus on the legislative session and the
various impacts to Salt Lake City. The proposed funding in the amount of $297,220.40 assumes the positions to be filled
for six-months in Fiscal Year 2024, with a hire date in January. The four (4) positions are to be ongoing, with a financial
impact of $594,440.79 annually beginning if FY25. The four proposed positions are as follows:
• Legislative Affairs Director (E34)
• Senior City Attorney (E39)
• Special Projects Analyst (E26)
• Administrative Assistant (N21)
The supporting Ordinance:
• Establishes that because the City Attorney manages the legal affairs of both the executive and legislative branches
of government, she reports to both the Mayor and Council chair, and can be removed at the discretion of the
Mayor.
• Clarifies that the City Attorney supervises the Recorder’s Office, Risk Management Division and Division of
Legislative Affairs.
• Clarifies that the City Attorney may retain outside counsel on behalf of the City, if she concludes that the City
Attorney’s Office has a conflict of interest, is unable, or is unavailable to perform that legal work for the City.
• Creates the Division of Legislative Affairs, which will be responsible for monitoring state and federal legislation
and engaging in advocacy, collaboration, and tracking of all legislative matters for the City.
• Establishes the director of legislative affairs, who will work with both branches of government on the City’s
legislative agenda, and will report to both branches of government on legislative priorities and policies.
This initial funding request accounts for one-time expenses for staff equipment such as computers ($12,000), funding via a
Non Departmental Transfer ($12,000), and a tenant improvement to established workspaces and necessary equipment
($20,000).

Reconstruction Project
Impact Fees $3,323,590.00
Department: Public Services – Engineering Prepared By: Mark Stevens
For questions, please include Mark Stevens, Mike Atkinson, Jordan Smith, Jorge Chamorro
Engineering and Transportation are requesting a budget amendment to increase the appropriation of Streets Impact Fees
for the 2100 South Reconstruction Project. Multiple departments (Engineering, Transportation, the Finance Capital Asset
Planning Team, and the Office of the City Attorney) have conducted an analysis of the 2100 South Reconstruction Project,
and based on the increase in overall cost and the increase in the portion of the project related to Complete Streets, this
project is eligible for an additional $3,323,590 of Streets Impact Fees.

A-7: Access Control System Upgrade – Security GF $400,000.00
Department: Public Services Prepared By: Jorge Chamorro
For questions, please include Jorge Chamorro
The current access control system and devices across City buildings are now considered outdated and vulnerable, and staff
are proposing this be addressed before the system fails. This system is used for access badges issued to all City employees
to scan at certain doors to gain access to a given space. The Safety and Security Program proposes continuing the transition
to the S2 control access system as a City-wide standard.
With the recent allocation of funding from Council, the Public Safety Buildi ng and City Hall have upgraded their back-end
software. The funding requested for the next phase should transition Plaza 349 and the Justice Courts. Additionally, access
cards and card readers will be purchased for all four buildings. This project scope has been developed with staff from
various departments, including IMS, to ensure standards and needs are met. The estimated cost for this project is
$400,000.
A-8: Compliance Electric Vehicle Funds Transfer to Fleet GF ($20,000.00)
GF $20,000.00
Fleet $20,000.00
Department: Public Services – Compliance Prepared By: Erik O’Brien / Julie
Crookston
For questions please include Erik O’Brien, Julie Crookston, Nancy Bean, Denise Sorensen
Public Services - Compliance is requesting a transfer of $20,000 to the Fleet Replacement Fund helping cover the
difference in cost to purchase two electric trucks instead of the originally funded smaller vehicles.
Fleet has been presented with an opportunity to order these electric trucks. One of the vehicles is part of the replacement
cycle, upgrading the originally intended vehicle to a more capable one, and will allow for Parking Enforcement operations
to continue during winter snow events, especially in areas like the Avenues. Additionally, the extra cargo space is needed to
transport equipment such as pay station kiosks and equipment as needed. In addition to these advantages, the second

vehicle will provide adequate space to transport three (3) mitigation officers (FTEs recently approved) and their supplies
for our Long-Term Parking Mitigation Team. The addition of these 2 EVs will bring Compliance closer to their goal to have
a 100% electric fleet.
A-9: Road Marking Maintenance GF $200,000.00
Department: Public Services – Streets Prepared By: Jorge Chamorro
For question, please include Jorge Chamorro
Over the past few years the Transportation Division has been successful in obtaining funding for special road markings
through the CIP process, which include green paint on certain bike lanes .
After assessing the current inventory of assets made up of 1010 bike racks and 3.23 miles of green-painted bike lanes and
markings, staff has concluded that this ongoing maintenance need should no longer rely on the CIP process but rather be
added to the Streets operating budget. At this time the need does not justify upfront cost of equipment procurement,
Streets will develop a maintenance schedule and oversee a contract to perform the necessary maintenance work. If funding
is approved for this item, though most of the work would not occur in the winter, contract development and work
scheduling could be done in the meantime with work happening as weather allows.
The Streets Division is requesting $200,000 to be added to their budget for ongoing maintenance of road markings and
assets recently inventoried.
A-10: Pay Station Replacement GF $135,992.49
Department: Public Services/Finance
The current pay stations were purchased over 10 years ago. Due to their age, they are past the end of their useful life and a t
risk of failure. New pay stations will allow the City to modernize the services offered to end users. The new pay stations
will provide more features for the public including parking payment, information sharing about events going on city wide,
the capability to pay by license plate technology, potential pollution sensors, and other innovative features. The
modernization of the pay stations will allow for smoother staff operations and continued service to end users. City Finance
is recommending a 7-year amortization rather than using the General Fund for one-time payment.
The amortization schedule is attached and includes a 7-year payment schedule, with $135,992.49 due in Year 1, and
$271,984.98 due in years two (2) through year seven (7). This includes an interest rate of 4.60%. The Council may consider
a 5-year schedule which is also attached, with an interest rate of 4.77%.
This item is being brought forward with Budget Amendment 3 due to the Request for Proposal process and market
conditions around equipment. At the time of budget development, staff did not have clear insight into the cost or timeline
of pay station procurement and delivery. Following the completion of the RFP process, staff feel it is best to proceed with
the selected vendor for the reasons outlined above.
A-11: Rail Spur Removal GF $205,000.00

The property on which this rail spur is located, 535 S. 600 W., was conveyed in 1997 by the City to a private party, with
partial consideration for this conveyance being an easement to construct, ope rate, and maintain a railroad spur and
associated facilities. Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Easement and Boundary Line Agreement, executed on July 3,
2000, the easement shall terminate if the City ceases to use the rail spur for more than one year, a nd that the City shall
remove the related infrastructure at the City’s expense. Since the rail spur has not been used for over one year, the City is
contractually obligated to remove it.
A-12: Temporary Shelter Community (Sanctioned Camping) Misc. Grants $500,000
Department: Police Department Prepared By: Greg Cleary/Shellie
Dietrich
Staff is requesting a budget amendment in the amount of $500,000 to support startup costs associated with city efforts
around a Temporary Shelter Community or Sanctioned Camping. This funding will allow staff to roll out the program, with
ongoing assessment in needs, service levels, and funding being further developed in the coming months.
Specifically, the $500,000 will support the Police Departments role in this effort, with overtime staffing of offers at the
temporary shelters. In addition to the program, the most effective and efficient police staffing levels will also be assessed.

Reasoning behind staff recommendation
Applicants of The Economic Development Loan Fund (EDLF) go through a thorough application
process consisting of a pre-screening, underwriting analysis and economic impact statement. Only
after the loan applicant goes through these processes, then the loan is recommended to be
reviewed by the Loan Committee members. Upon the thorough review of the Loan Committee
members then a recommendation is made before the loan is transmitted to the Mayor for Council
to receive the recommendation for final approval. Because the Loan Committee review process
must adhere to the Open Meetings Act, DED’s staff has worked closely with the City Attorney’s
Office to ensure that applicants’ information is protected and at the same time the public process
is followed.
In addition, the EDLF loans must meet the goals of the Economic Development Loan Fund as
stated in the EDLF program guidelines. This loan meets the EDLF program guidelines in the
following areas.
•Increase employment opportunities,
•Stimulate business development and expansion,
•Encourage private investment,
•Promote economic development,
•Enhance neighborhood vitality,
•Boost commercial enterprise.
This loan will assist in the creation of 3 new jobs in the next year and retention of 2 current jobs.
This loan was recommended by the EDLF Committee to the City Council for approval.

RE: 1433, 1435 South State Street, 1420 South Edison Street, and 121 East, Cleveland Avenue
Zoning Map and Master Plan Amendments
PLNPCM2022-01183/012184
A question was raised about the Council's motion when this item was adopted in November. Basically,
the zone requires a higher amount of active use (75%) than the Council’s motion implied. So, this item
eliminates the implication that the Council intended to lower the 75% requirement and directs that at
least 40% of the State Street façade on this property be active uses that draw the public to the building,
and to ensure residential and parking use are not used to satisfy the 40%.
MOTION 1 (clarify ordinance 63 of 2023 rezoning the properties, and amending future
land use map)
I move that the Council confirm its intent expressed in its motion of November 7, 2023, adopting the
ordinance rezoning the properties and amending the future land use map with the condition that the
petitioner enter into a development agreement with the city that requires petitioner to do the
following:
1. Replace any dwelling units demolished with at least as many dwelling units as will be
demolished; and
2. Include a minimum of 40% of the building’s ground floor façade fronting State Street as active
uses allowed in the zoning district, which uses shall not be residential or parking. All portions
of such spaces shall extend a minimum of 25 feet into the building.
(Staff note: The subject parcels were included in the list of properties with additional
building height and adopted as Ordinance 63B of 2023.)

SUBJECT: Avenues Restrictive Covenant
STAFF CONTACT: Krissy Gilmore, Senior Planner, kristina.gilmore@slcgov.com, 801-535-
7780
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: Remove the restrictive covenant from the affected properties.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND:
In April 2023 the property owner at 453 N C Street applied for a Lot Consolidation with the
intention of constructing an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) in the rear yard. During the review
process, Planning Staff examined a restrictive covenant applied to their property and 17 other
properties, which prohibits the construction of detached ADUs. After considering the implications
for all 18 affected properties, Planning Staff consulted with the Attorney’s Office and decided to
pursue the removal of the restriction simultaneously for all properties instead of addressing them
individually.
DISCUSSION:
The restrictive covenant (Exhibit 2) was established in 1981 as part of the street closure of 8th Avenue
for the expansion of LDS Hospital (Ordinance 40 of 1981). As part of the street closure, as described
in the restrictive covenant, the Greater Avenues Community Council agreed it would not oppose the
11/07/2023
AS
rachel otto (Nov 9, 2023 08:59 MST)11/09/2023

street vacation if other LDS Hospital owned properties
were subjected to a restrictive covenant guaranteeing
their continued residential use in conformity with the R-
2 zoning district that was in effect at that time. In 1995
during the City’s comprehensive zoning rewrite, the
affected properties were rezoned from R-2 to SR-1A.
Although Planning Staff was unable to locate the
specific correspondence from 1979 that outlined this
agreement, the City Recorder's Office found a separate
letter related to the closure of 8th Avenue from the
Greater Avenues Community Council regarding the
Historic Revolving Loan Fund (see Exhibit 3). This
letter provides some insight into the rationale behind the
request for the restrictive covenant. It explains that the
neighborhood would lose a total of 44 homes due to the
expansion of the hospital, and it is likely that they wanted to prevent further deterioration of the
neighborhood by imposing the restrictive covenant.
The restrictive covenant was primarily focused on limiting allowed uses. The list below shows the uses
currently allowed in the SR-1A zone that are prohibited due to the restrictive covenant. It is important
to note that just because a use is allowed, it does not mean that the properties will have a right to that
use. They must still meet the applicable zoning requirements associated with those specific uses and the
SR-1A zone.
-Accessory Dwelling Unit (permitted)
-Dwelling, Assisted Living Facility with limited capacity (2-5 individuals) (conditional)
-Dwelling, Congregate Care Facility (conditional)
-Dwelling, Group Home (conditional)
-Community Garden (conditional)
-Urban Farm (permitted)
-Daycare Center (conditional)
-In-home Daycare (permitted)
Because the properties are no longer owned by LDS Hospital, it seems the intent of the covenant
has been satisfied, which was likely to prevent them from either developing as part of the hospital
or selling to commercial use to support the hospital. Additionally, considering the adoption of the
ADU ordinance, which permits ADUs in the SR-1A zone, Planning Staff believes it may be
appropriate to remove the restriction. When the restrictive covenant was created, Salt Lake City
may not have anticipated that ADUs would be permitted in the future.
Map of the affected properties. See Exhibit 1 for a
larger scale map.
While SR-1A does permit, either by-right or through the conditional use process, some uses that
may have a commercial aspect, Planning Staff is of the opinion that the SR-1A zone aligns with
the intended purpose of the restrictive covenant to ensure residential use and low impact uses.
However, the Council may consider implementing a new restriction that prohibits the properties
from being rezoned to higher density zones or primarily commercial zoning districts to address
any concerns.
Greater Avenues Community Council Review
The Greater Avenues Community Council is listed as an interested party in the restrictive
covenant, and therefore, they must also vote to remove their interest in the covenant for it to be
effective. Planning Staff met with the GACC on September 13 and October 4, 2023 to discuss the
matter. The GACC ultimately voted to release their interest in the restrictive covenant at their
November 1, 2023 meeting.
Property Owner Notice
On May 24th Planning Staff sent a notice to all affected properties making them aware of the
covenant. The notice provided a 45-day comment period, after which Planning Staff would begin
the process of requesting the removal of the covenant. The notice stated that if we did not receive
a response, staff would move forward with the removal of the covenant based on the presumption
that the property owners had no objection.
Staff received responses from four property owners. Three in support of the removal (321 E 10th
Avenue, 267/271 9th Avenue, and 453 N C Street), and one against the removal. One call included
multiple property owners on the line, however, Planning Staff only feels comfortable stating that
the actual caller should be recorded as in support. The property owner at 339 E 10th Avenue is
against the removal due to zoning restrictions that would prohibit an ADU on their property.

Salt Lake City, Utah, 84111
Gentlemen:
The Greater Avenues Community Council respectfully requests that time
be scheduled during the January 2, 1980 hearing before you on the closure of
8th Avenue between C and D Streets, to present a related a compensatory petition.
Our Council has agreed to not oppose the closure of this street in exchange
for the guarantees offered by Intermountain Health Care which were enumerated
before you on December 19. Should you actually decide to close that street
there still remains a considerably important, unresolved detail.
The closure of 8th Avenue constitutes, in actuality, the sale of publicly-
owned property, to the benefit of a privately-owned institutio~The sale not
only constitutes a loss to Avenues' residents of the benefits derived from
the property, but the future institutional use of the property brings with it
a serious, negative impact on the Avenues Community.
We have already experienced many recent intrusions on our neighborhood.
Without belaboring the point, we mention the following losses:
Block Location Demolition PurEose
101 7th s 8th, B s e 7 homes Construction of Parking
Terrace
102 7th & 8th, e & D 12 homes Parking Lot
122 8th s 9th, D & E 5 homes Parking Lot
130 9th & 10th, c & D 10 homes Parking Lot
130 9th s 10th, C & D 10 homes Doctors Clinic
44 home total
As you can see this adds up to a loss of 44 homes to the purpose of
hospital expansion. The rezoning to RH and R2A of blocks 122 and 124 (to the
immediate west and east of the main hospital) will eventually bring the demoltion
of another 14 homes, for a total of 58. In addition, the closure of 8th Avenue
and the construction of a new hospital facility on Block 102 will mean the
demolition of 9 more homes--homes which we have requested be preserved, in front
of the new facility. We have been denied consideration for their preservation.
This, ;hen, adds up to a grand total of 67 homes.
The main point is that not only has the neighborhood sustained major losses
in the past, but that the sale of the 8th Avenue property for hospital use
•entails further neighborhood deterioration, and that this deterioration is a result
of the disposition of an asset that belongs to that neighborhood. In all
fai:rness the proceeds deriving from that sale ought to be used in a way which
would offer some compensation to that neighborhood for its loss ..
I
b o
...
We therefore petition the Commission to set up an Avenues' Captial •
Improvements and Neighborhood Preservation Fund to be created with the
proceeds from the sale of 8th Avenue. The fund would be used in two ways.
First, there have already been many attempts to acquire a revolving
fund specifically for purposes of historic preservation. This fund could
serve that purpose as well as the purpose of neighborhood preservation. When
homes are threatened, there would be an available source of revenue to secure
the endangered properties, attach preservation covenants to them, and
resell the properties on the open market.
Second, a portion of the money could be made available as a Capital
Improvements fund. We suggest that the major item needed is that of
hillside preservation.
Hopefully, the creation of a fund for these purposes will not only
help with needed improvements for the neighborhood, but will also contribute
to continuing good Neighborhood-Hospital relations.
Sincerely, /\
I ! \}~~.

EXHIBIT 4) Property Owner Notice
NOTIFICATION OF A REQUEST
AFFECTING YOUR PROPERTY
May 24, 2023
RESPONSE REQUESTED
Dear Property Owner,
We would like to bring to your
attention a Restrictive
Covenant that has recently
come to the attention of Salt
Lake City Planning Staff. This
covenant affects your
property, as well as seventeen
others indicated on the map to
the right. The Restrictive
Covenant was recorded on
your property in 1981 and was
associated with the street
closure of 8th Avenue between
C and D Streets.
The covenant restricts the land
uses to those permitted in the
R-2 (Single and Two Family
Residential) zoning district in
effect in 1981. It is important
to note that in 1995, the city
conducted a comprehensive
revision of the zoning code, resulting in the rezoning of your property from R-2 to SR-1A
(Special Development Pattern Residential). Your property is currently subject to all the
restrictions imposed by the SR-1A zone, as well as any land use restrictions that existed
in the 1981 R-2 zone.
The most significant implication of this restriction is that you are prohibited from
constructing a detached accessory dwelling unit, due to the strict limitations found in
the 1981 R-2 zoning.
Planning Staff received interest from at least one affected property owner regarding the
removal of this restriction. To streamline the process, we would like to request the City
Council's consideration for the simultaneous removal of the restriction on all affected
properties.
The purpose of this notice is to inform you of the restriction and to inquire about your
preferred course of action for the removal of the restrictive covenant from your
property. Please contact me, Krissy Gilmore, at Kristina.Gilmore@slcgov.com or
801-535-7780 before July 8, 2023. After this date, we will begin processing the
request and schedule a briefing with the City Council. Subsequently, the City Council
will arrange a follow-up meeting to vote on the matter.
If we do not receive a response from you, we will assume that you agree to
include your property in the application for the removal of the restrictive
covenant.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Krissy Gilmore
Senior Planner

EXHIBIT 5) Ordinance for Removal
SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. _____ of 202_
(Relinquishing Salt Lake City’s interests in restrictive covenants on certain real property)
An ordinance relinquishing Salt Lake City’s interests as a beneficiary of restrictive
covenants on certain real property related to Ordinance 40 of 1981.
WHEREAS, In January 1980, the Salt Lake City Council (“City Council”) heard a
petition by Intermountain Health Care, Inc. (“IHC”) to close a portion of 8th Avenue between C
and D Streets to for IHC to acquire that portion of right-of-way to accommodate expansion of its
LDS Hospital property; and
WHEREAS, at the time, IHC owned 18 residential parcels adjacent to the hospital
property (the “Affected Properties”); and
WHEREAS, concerns were raised by property owners in the nearby community as well
as by the Greater Avenues Community Council concerning IHC’s expansion efforts that
residential dwellings had already been lost to prior LDS Hospital expansion and that further
expansion could result in additional loss of dwellings; and
WHEREAS, on May 19, 1981, the City Council passed Ordinance 40 of 1981, which
closed a portion of 8th Avenue between C and D Streets, but retained ownership thereof until
terms of a deed conveying the portion of right-of-way could be agreed upon; and
WHEREAS, the City Council made Ordinance 40 of 1981 effective 30 days following
publication of that ordinance; and
WHEREAS, to satisfy the requirements of the City Council and the wishes of the Greater
Avenues Community Council, IHC recorded a restrictive covenant (the “Restrictive Covenant”)
against the Affected Properties on September 18, 1981 (Salt Lake County Recorder Entry No.
3608995) in favor of Salt Lake City and the Greater Avenues Community Council, which
restrictive covenant limited the use of the Affected Properties to only single-family dwellings,
two-family dwellings, and any other uses allowed in the R-2 zoning district at that time; and
WHEREAS, in 1995, the City Council adopted a comprehensive amendment of the city’s
land use regulations, which effort also rezoned the Affected Properties from R-2 Single- and
Two-Family Residential District to SR-1A Special Development Pattern Residential District; and
WHEREAS, at the time the Restrictive Covenant was recorded, the R-2 Single- and Two-
Family Residential District prohibited accessory dwelling structures that could be used as a
dwelling; and
WHEREAS, in recent years, the City Council has amended Title 21A of the Salt Lake
City Code to allow accessory dwelling units in residential districts, including both the R-2
Single- and Two-Family Residential District and SR-1A Special Development Pattern
Residential District; and
WHERAS, IHC no longer owns any of the Affected Properties; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the purposes of the Restrictive Covenant are no
longer necessary and the R-2 use restrictions applicable in 1981 have become inimical to the

SUBJECT: 1300 South Commercial Rezone
Petition PLNPCM2023-00385
STAFF CONTACT: Eric Daems, Senior Planner
801-535-7236 or eric.daems@slcgov.com
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council amend the zoning map as recommended by the
Planning Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Tyler Morris, the applicant representing the property owner,
submitted a petition for a Zoning Map Amendment for the properties located at 2260, 2270, and
2290 E. 1300 South. The properties are currently zoned R-1-7000, which is a single-family
residential zone. The petition is to rezone the properties to CB- Community Business. The CB
zone allows for a wider range of land uses including multi-family, commercial, retail, and
restaurants. The request did not require a master plan amendment.
At this point, the applicant has not provided a development plan for the properties. However, it is
anticipated they would be developed in junction with adjoining properties to the south and would
be used for multi-family housing or a mixed-use development.

The Planning Commission reviewed the
request at a public hearing September
13, 2023. The Commission had some
questions about final development of
the property but voted (7-2) in favor of
the City Council amending the zoning
map as requested.

SUBJECT: General Plan and Zoning Amendments (Community Benefit and Tenant
Displacement Ordinance)
STAFF CONTACT: Krissy Gilmore, Senior Planner, Kristina.Gilmore@slcgov.com, 801-535-
7780
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: This city-initiated petition is intended to implement policies
identified in Thriving in Place to mitigate involuntary displacement due to development pressure. The
proposed amendments are intended to prompt growth to benefit the community, prevent loss of
naturally occurring affordable housing, and counteract displacement of current tenants. The updates
include the creation of a new Title 19 General Plans and amendments to Title 21A.50 Amendments.
Additionally, Title 18.97 Mitigation of Residential Housing Loss will be deleted and replaced with the
community benefit policy in Title 19 General Plans and Title 21A.50 Amendments. Title 18.64.050
Residential Demolition Provisions will also be amended to include provisions to ensure that
replacement of housing units that have a similar rent and unit size if housing is demolished.
PROPOSAL:
rachel otto (Dec 6, 2023 09:46 MST)12/06/2023
12/06/2023
1) Title 19: General Plans
This proposal creates a new “Title 19
General Plans” which is the first such
ordinance in the history of the city.
The creation of Title 19 aims to
establish clear and objective criteria
for determining the necessity of
general amendments, particularly in
cases where property owners submit
zoning map amendments exceeding
recommended community plan
densities within the general plan. It
also outlines the required
components for the general plan.
In situations where an amendment is
likely to lead to the demolition of
housing, Title 19 would require relocation assistance for displaced tenants and may necessitate
property owners to replace demolished dwellings. In addition, Title 19 includes a community benefit
policy, compelling property owners to provide benefits to the community when making a request for a
general plan amendment.
Title 19 also expands the factors that the Planning Commission and City Council should consider when
reviewing a general plan or zoning amendment. This includes specific language on evaluating the
impacts of a request based on proximity to amenities and services, potential effects on city services, and
the possibility of displacing residents and businesses.
2) 21A:50 Amendments
Chapter 21A.50 is proposed to be amended to include the same community benefit and displacement
requirements to apply to text and zoning map amendments. The community benefit and tenant
displacement sections will be similar in both Title 19 General Plans and in Title 21A.50 Amendments
to ensure that all amendments being considered are using the same process and similar standards. This
will help avoid discretionary decisions regarding the amendment process and establish an equitable
process for the applicants, the city, the community, and all stakeholders.
3) Title 18: Buildings and Construction/ Housing Loss Mitigation
Changes to Title 18.97 Mitigation of Residential Housing Loss are also proposed. As part of the
proposed changes, Title 18.97 will be deleted, and housing loss mitigation will be addressed through
one of these methods:
• Title 19 General Plans (New Requirement): Requires a public benefit, tenant relocation
assistance, and replacement of a demolished dwelling with a unit of similar bedroom count and
rental rate.
• Create a new Title 19: General Plans that defines what
a general plan is, the required plan contents, and when a plan
amendment is required.
• Require a community benefit analysis for zoning or
general plan amendments submitted by a property owner.
• Require the replacement of demolished housing units
at a similar rent prior to demolition or a payment to the city.
• Establish a tenant relocation assistance policy.
• Establish new review factors for considering zoning and
plan amendments related to displacement.
• Require data on displacement to be collected with
zoning and plan amendments.
• 21A.50: Zoning Amendments (Replacing Existing Requirement from Title 18.97): Requires a
public benefit, tenant relocation assistance, and replacement of a demolished dwelling with a
unit of similar bedroom count and rental rate.
• Prohibition on expansions or new commercial parking lots that involve the demolition of a
dwelling. This is being done as a separate proposal and is independent of this proposal.
• Removing Title 18.97 also triggers amendments to the demolition requirements in Title
18.64.050 Residential Demolition Provisions. Due to the removal of Title 18.97, Title 18.64.050
needs to be amended to ensure consistency in regulations.
4) Community Benefit Policy
The community benefit policy requires property owners to provide a community benefit when making
a request for a general plan or zoning amendment. The policy includes specific criteria to evaluate the
community benefit. Applicants are required to provide one or more of the following community
benefits, along with demonstrating that the benefit would not otherwise be available without the
proposed amendment:
• Housing: Provision of affordable or family-sized housing.
• Dedication of Publicly Accessible Open Space: Dedication of open spaces accessible to the
public.
• Preservation of Critical Lands: Conservation or restoration of critical lands such as wetlands,
river corridors, or wildlife habitats.
• Historic Building Preservation: Safeguarding historic structures not already protected against
demolition.
• Support for Local Businesses: Inclusion of space for small businesses and charitable
organizations within a development.
• Expansion of Public Infrastructure: Enhancement of public infrastructure beyond what's
necessary for future development.
The proposed amendment includes 11 factors that the Planning Commission and City Council should
consider when evaluating a suggested community benefit. These factors include assessing the
appropriateness of the proposed community benefit in relation to the increase in development
potential, potential strategies to counter displacement and its effects, and the probable impacts on city
services and infrastructure. Any community benefit that is required as a condition of approval of the
amendment(s) would be secured through a Development Agreement.
5) Replacement of Demolished Housing Units
Thriving in Place identifies the loss of naturally occurring affordable housing units as a concern that is
being experienced in the city. To address this concern, if a proposed privately initiated general plan or
zoning amendment is likely to result in the demolition of a housing unit, the City Council may require
the petitioner to provide replacement of the dwelling within the new development at the same number
of bedrooms. The applicant would choose to either limit the rental rate on the replacement dwelling to
no more than a 3% annual increase on the rental rate for a period of 20 years, or they could make a
payment to the city in lieu of the rental rate restriction. The payment would be calculated by taking the
unit rent prior to demolition and multiplying it by the number of months until a new Certificate of
Occupancy is issued. For example, if the unit rent is $1,000 per month prior to demolition and it takes
36 months for replacement unit to completed, the payment would be $36,000.
6) Tenant Relocation Assistance
Tenant relocation assistance would help renters cover the cost of relocating when they are displaced by
new development. The relocation assistance would include the following:
• Up to $1500 in moving expenses.
• Replacement housing application fees.
• Deposit fees for the new place of residence.
• Rental assistance payment of the difference between the cost of the monthly rent of the
demolished unit and a comparable unit. The total amount to not exceed $7,200.
The property owner may propose to relocate the tenant to an alternative property that they also own.
If this occurs, the tenant would not be eligible to receive payment for application fees or deposit.
7) Standards for General Plan and Zoning Amendments
The current consideration factors for general plan or zoning amendments do not address potential
tenant displacement or the loss of affordable housing. Both proposed draft amendments to Title 19 and
21A.50 include new review factors that address these concerns. The goal of creating new consideration
factors is to provide a clear and detailed analysis of the impact of the requested amendment to decision-
makers.
8) Data Collection
Thriving in Place also identified a need for the collection of rental cost data for the purposes of analyzing
displacement. This data is crucial to understand whether the demolished unit is considered affordable,
and to track the loss of affordable or naturally occurring affordable housing. The city does not currently
have a method of collecting this information from building permits or planning applications. To
address this void of information, the amendments include more robust submittal requirements when
making a general plan or zoning amendment application that include current information on housing
unit rent and size.
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:
• July 20, 2023 – Planning Staff and Community and Neighborhoods Division representatives
met with the Recognized Organization chairs to brief them on the proposal.
• August 31, 2023 – The project website was published and an email notification regarding the
project was sent out to the Planning Division’s listserv.
•September 5, 2023 – Recognized Organizations were sent the 45-day required notice for
recognized community organizations.
•August 19 & 28 and October 4, 2023: In-person public open houses were held at the
Sugarhouse Fire Station, the Sorenson Community Center, and the downtown Salt Lake City
Library. The open houses were primarily used to explain the proposal and answer questions.
Feedback was generally positive.
•August 25 & 26: Roundtable meetings with development community representatives to
gather input.
Development Community Roundtables
The Mayor’s Office hosted two development community roundtable meetings that allowed Planning
Staff to introduce the amendments and obtain feedback. The development community raised concerns
regarding the rental rate restriction on replacement units (proposed at no more than a 3% increase per
year for 20 years). Their concern centered on cost implications and the unpredictability of such an
extended timeframe. Multiple comments indicated a preference for an upfront fee as an alternative
approach. This preference was both a desire to enhance cost predictability and to allocate the fee toward
providing assistance to a greater number of people facing displacement. As a result, the draft was
modified to allow a payment option in addition to the rental rate restriction option.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission held a briefing on the proposed changes on October 11, 2023. The briefing
was a public meeting, open to the public, and broadcast on SLCTV and on the city’s YouTube live
channel. The briefing was advertised by posting the agenda as required by the Utah State Code and City
Code and emailed to those on the Planning Division email list.
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on November 8, 2023. The public hearing was posted
as required by the Utah State Code and City Code, including posting a notice in a public location within
the city that is reasonably likely to be seen by residents of the municipality. To comply with this
requirement, notice was posted within three city libraries: the Main Library, Sprague Branch, and
Marmalade Branch.
In addition to the input received during the open houses or at the development community roundtable
meetings, three written comments were received that are included in the Planning Commission Staff
Report. Comments focused on a concern that the proposal is too restrictive and may add unnecessary
‘red tape’ which could inhibit the production of housing. One public comment was received after the
Planning Commission Staff Report was published and is included as Exhibit 5 of this memo.
The Planning Commission provided a positive recommendation on the proposed amendments with
two additional recommendations, which are included in the attached ordinance. The Planning
Commission recommends the following language be adopted by the City Council:
•Space for charitable organizations is considered as a potential community benefit.
•The word ‘fee’ is replaced with the word ‘payment’ when considering the option to
allow a payment to the city in lieu of limiting the rental rate on replacement
dwelling units. This was recommended by Planning Staff following additional
consideration and counsel from the Attorney’s Office.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. Amending the text of Salt Lake City Code Section 18.64.050. That Section
18.64.050 of the Salt Lake City Code (Demolition: Residential Demolition Provisions) shall be,
and hereby is amended as follows:

A. If the structure for which a demolition permit is sought contains one or more
dwelling units, whether or not occupied, upon issuance of a demolition permit, the building
official shall cause to be recorded against title to such real property in the official records of Salt
Lake County a notice that contains the following information:
1. Information about the demolished property as required by the city, including the
number of dwelling units and respective number of bedrooms, and the amount of rent
2
charged in the year prior to the demolition, and the level of affordability if the rent is a
below market rate.
2. Notice that the future development of the property may have specific
development requirements under city code, including without limitation the requirements
identified in Title 19 and Section 21A.50.050.
SECTION 2. Repealing the text of Salt Lake City Code Chapter 18.97. That Chapter
18.97 of the Salt Lake City Code (Mitigation of Residential Housing Loss) shall be, and hereby
is repealed in its entirety as follows:
CHAPTER 18.97
MITIGATION OF RESIDENTIAL HOUSING LOSS
18.97.010: PURPOSE:
The purpose of this chapter is to mitigate the loss of affordable housing stock due to new
development with due consideration for vested or protected property rights.
18.97.020: HOUSING MITIGATION CONDITION PRECEDENT TO DEMOLITION OF
RESIDENTIAL UNITS:
A. Housing Mitigation Plan: Except as provided in subsection B of this section, any
application for a demolition permit which, if issued, will result in a loss of one or more
residential units located in a residential zone; any petition for a conditional use permit to
authorize or expand vehicle parking in a residential or mixed use zone; and any petition for a
zoning change that would permit a nonresidential use of land, that includes within its boundaries
residential dwelling units, may not be approved until a housing mitigation plan is approved by
the city. The housing mitigation plan shall be proposed and submitted to the city's planning
director and the director of community and neighborhoods and shall be accompanied by a
housing impact statement.
B. Exception: This section shall not apply to any housing which:
1. Is a nonconforming use as provided by relevant provisions of title 21A,
"Zoning", of this code; or
2. Is located on property for which an applicable master plan or the current
zoning envisions exclusive nonresidential use; or
3. a. Is proposed to be demolished for health or safety reasons as provided in
section 18.64.040 or chapter 18.48 of this title or their successors.
b. Notwithstanding subsection B3a of this section, housing which is
demolished for health or safety reasons, which is the result of neglect pursuant to
section 18.64.045 of this title, shall be subject to the provisions of this section.
3
C. Housing Impact Statement: The housing impact statement shall:
1. Identify the essential adverse impacts on the residential character of the
area subject of the petition;
2. Identify by address any dwelling units targeted for demolition, following
the granting of the petition;
3. Separately for each dwelling unit targeted for demolition, state its current
fair market value, if that unit were in a reasonable state of repair and met all applicable
building, fire and health codes;
4. State the number of square feet of land zoned for residential use that
would be rezoned or conditionally permitted to be used for purposes sought in the
petition, other than residential housing and appurtenant uses; and
5. Specify a mitigation plan to address the loss of residential zoned land,
residential units or residential character.
18.97.030: OPTIONS FOR MITIGATING RESIDENTIAL LOSS:
Petitioners subject to the requirements of this chapter may satisfy the need for mitigation of any
residential housing unit losses by any one of the following methods:
A. Replacement Housing: The petitioner may agree, in a legal form satisfactory to
the city attorney, to construct the same number of residential dwelling units proposed for
demolition, within:
1. The city council district in which the land subject of the petition is located;
or
2. An adjoining council district, if the mitigation site is within a one mile
radius of the demolition site.
3. Any such agreement shall include adequate security to guarantee
completion within two (2) years of the granting of a demolition permit.
B. Fee Based On Difference Between Housing Value And Replacement Cost: The
petitioner may pay to the city housing trust fund the difference between the fair market value of
the housing units planned to be eliminated or demolished and the replacement cost of building
new units of similar square footage and meeting all existing building, fire and other applicable
law, excluding land values.
C. Fee, Where Deteriorated Housing Exists, Not Caused By Deliberate Indifference
Of Landowner:
1. Request By Petitioner For Flat Fee Consideration: In the event that a
residential dwelling unit is targeted or proposed for demolition and is in a deteriorated
state from natural causes, such as fire, earthquake or aged obsolescence that is not
occasioned by the deliberate acts or omissions to act on the part of the petitioner or his
predecessors in interest, which detrimental condition reduces a dwelling unit's fair market
4
value or habitability as a residential dwelling unit, the petitioner may request an
exemption from the above two (2) methods of mitigation from the director of the
department of community and neighborhoods as provided below. A judgment as to
whether deterioration has occurred as the result of deliberate indifference shall be based
on a preponderance of evidence.
2. Required Facts Of Natural Deterioration/Increase Fair Market Value Of
Units To Be Demolished: The petitioner may submit to the director of the department of
community and neighborhoods every fact known to support the proposition that the
residential dwelling units were not purposely allowed to deteriorate by lack of reasonable
maintenance, ordinary and prudent repairs, or other acts or omissions to act. The value of
the unit(s) targeted or proposed for demolition may be increased to the fair market value
that the units would have, if each unit was in a state of habitability and minimally
meeting applicable building codes and other applicable law, excluding land value. This
enhanced value will then be applied in thus computing any housing mitigation payment
provided in subsection B of this section.
3. Flat Fee Mitigation Payment: In the event that the petitioner actually and
reasonably demonstrates to the director of community and neighborhoods that the costs
of calculating and analyzing the various methods of mitigation are unreasonably
excessive in relationship to the rough estimated costs of constitutionally permitted
mitigation, the department director may recommend to the city council that a flat rate be
paid by the petitioner to the city's housing trust fund. This flat rate shall be a sum not in
excess of three thousand three hundred twenty two dollars twenty cents ($3,322.20) per
dwelling unit to be demolished. Such flat fee shall be adjusted for inflation as of January
1 of each calendar year following the initial adoption hereof, based on the consumer price
index for the previous twelve (12) months, or three percent (3%), whichever result is less.
18.97.040: HOUSING MITIGATION JUSTIFICATION TO COUNCIL:
A. Report To City Before Rezoning Hearings: The director of the department of
community and neighborhoods, or designee, shall prepare a report justifying the method of
housing mitigation recommended by the director, including the factual basis upon which it is
premised and a factually based justification for the recommendation. This report shall be
submitted to the planning commission in sufficient time for its deliberation concerning the
advisability of effectuating the petitioner's request for a zoning change. The petitioner may,
likewise, submit its proposal and the factual and legal justification for mitigation, if any, or why
the director's recommendations are appropriate or should be modified. The commission shall
include in its evaluation an evaluation of the adequacy of the housing loss mitigation plan,
proposed by the petitioner and that recommended by director of the department of community
and neighborhoods.
B. Report To Planning Director On Conditional Use Permit Petitions: In the event of
a conditional use permit, said report shall be submitted to the city's planning director. The report
shall be duly evaluated, considered and included in the decision regarding any conditional use
permit. The planning director, or designee, shall memorialize, in writing, the factual basis
supporting any decision dealing with the housing mitigation component of any such conditional
5
use permit and include this finding and evaluation in the file for due consideration should there
be an appeal relating thereto.
C. Report To Housing Advisory And Appeals Board: A housing mitigation plan
required under chapter 18.64, "Demolition", of this title shall be considered by the housing
advisory and appeals board as provided in such chapter. The director of the department of
community and neighborhoods shall prepare a report justifying the method of housing mitigation
recommended by the director, including the factual basis upon which it is premised and a
factually based justification for the recommendation. This report shall be submitted to the
housing advisory and appeals board in sufficient time for its deliberation concerning the
advisability of effectuating the petitioner's request for a demolition permit. The petitioner may,
likewise, submit its proposal and the factual and legal justification for mitigation, if any, or why
the director's recommendations are appropriate or should be modified. The board shall include in
its evaluation an evaluation of the adequacy of the housing loss mitigation plan, proposed by the
petitioner and that recommended by director of the department of community and
neighborhoods.
18.97.050: NATURE AND REVIEW OF ALLEGED UNCONSTITUTIONAL OR ILLEGAL
HOUSING LOSS MITIGATION:
Should any petitioner or other person, corporation, or entity claim that this chapter or any
application of it is illegal, unconstitutional, or may constitute or effectuate an unconstitutional
taking of property without appropriate compensation, either per se or as applied, the city shall be
notified as soon as practicable. The provisions of title 2, chapter 2.66, "Constitutional Takings",
of this code shall apply to each such claim.

6. A violation of the development agreement that includes not providing the agreed to
public benefit shall require the property owner to pay a fine that is equal to the fair
market value of the public benefit in the development agreement plus the fines identified

D. Displaced Tenant Resulting from Demolition of Housing: If a proposed amendment
submitted by a property owner includes the likely demolition of any dwelling, the city
council may require the petitioner to provide relocation assistance for the current tenant(s), or
a replacement dwelling as required by this section for each demolished dwelling within a
future development.
1. This subsection may be applied by the city council when a proposal for a property owner

section.
4. Tenant Relocation Assistance: When a petition is likely to result in the demolition of a
dwelling unit, the property owner may be required to provide the tenant with relocation
assistance to supplement the costs of leasing a comparable replacement dwelling. The
rental relocation assistance includes the following:
a. Moving expenses based on a reasonable estimate provided by the tenant, up to a
maximum of $1,500.
b. Application fees for the replacement housing.
c. The deposit that the displaced tenant would have to pay to secure replacement

then paragraphs b, c, and d above do not apply.
f. Any and all payments should be received by the tenant 24 hours in advance of
leaving the unit to be demolished.

federal funds and subject to the Uniform Relocation Assistance (URA) and Real
Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, 42. U.S.C 4601-4655,
The relocation assistance rules for the developer/tenant under that act will govern
and the tenant relocation assistance outlined in this section will not apply. The
developer shall inform the city if they are subject to URA and details of assistance
to be provided. Tenants who receive tenant relocation assistance from this section
are not eligible to receive relocation benefits from the city.
E. Demolished Unit Replacement. The future development may be required to replace the
demolished housing unit within the new development. The replacement housing unit shall
have the same number of bedrooms. In addition, the applicant shall propose one of the
options listed in this section. The city council has the authority to waive or modify this
requirement.
1. The replacement unit shall be rented at the same amount as the demolished unit with no
more than a 3% annual increase on the rental rate for a period of 20 years.
2. The applicant may propose a payment to the city in lieu of the rental restriction on the
new unit to go toward the city’s housing fund to offset the loss of affordable housing. The
17
payment shall be equal to the monthly rent of the unit prior to demolition multiplied by
the number of months between the time the unit is vacated prior to demolition until a
certificate of occupancy for the replacement dwelling is issued.
F. If a housing unit is demolished or neglected to the point of being uninhabitable at any time
during the five years prior to a petition for a plan amendment being submitted or is placed on
the city’s boarded building inventory, the city council may require this section to apply to
tenants that were displaced by the demolition or require the tenant relocation amount to be
paid to the city for the purpose of other tenant relocation assistance.

The petitioner may be required by the city council to enter into a development agreement as
indicated in this section.

housing and a comparable unit. The rental payment total amount paid shall not be
more than $7,200.
e. If the property owner relocates the displaced tenant into an existing unit that is
owned by the applicant within Salt Lake City at the same rental rate the displaced
tenant was paying and without an additional applicant fee or deposit, then
paragraphs b, c, and d do not apply.
25
f. Any and all payments should be received by the tenant 24 hours in advance of
leaving the unit to be demolished.
g. Tenant Relocation Assistance Exemptions: If the project is receiving identified
federal funds and subject to the Uniform Relocation Assistance (URA) and Real
Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended, 42. U.S.C 4601-4655.
The relocation assistance rules for the developer/tenant under that act will govern
and the Tenant Relocation Assistance outlined in this section will not apply. The
developer shall inform the city if they are subject to URA and details of assistance
to be provided. Tenants who receive tenant relocation assistance from this section
are not eligible to receive relocation benefits from the city.
E. Demolished Unit Replacement. The future development may be required to replace the
demolished housing unit within the new development. The replacement housing unit shall
have the same number of bedrooms. In addition, the applicant shall propose one of the
options listed in this section. The city council has the authority to waive or modify this
requirement.
1. The replacement unit shall be rented at the same amount as the demolished unit with no
more than a 3% annual increase on the rental rate for a period of 20 years.
2. The applicant may propose a payment to the city in lieu of the rental restriction on the
new unit to go toward the city’s housing fund to offset the loss of affordable housing. The
payment shall be equal to the monthly rent of the unit prior to demolition multiplied by
the number of months between the time the unit is vacated prior to demolition until a
certificate of occupancy for the replacement dwelling is issued.
F. If a housing unit is demolished or neglected to the point of being uninhabitable at any time
during the five years prior to a petition for a zoning amendment being submitted or is placed
on the city’s boarded building inventory, the city council may require this section to apply to
tenants that were displaced by the demolition or require the tenant relocation amount to be
paid to the city for the purpose of other tenant relocation assistance.

C. Information Provided by the City. After a complete application has been submitted to apply
this overlay to property within the boundaries of the city, applicable city departments shall
provide the planning division with the following information within 30 days:
1. Information regarding the impact to the police department which may include any data
that demonstrates the services to existing homeless resources centers located in the city,
the estimated cost of providing service by the police department to existing homeless
resource centers and the impact that a new homeless resource center has on the ability of
the police department to provide services to other parts of the city.
2. Information regarding the impact to the fire department which may include any data that
demonstrates the services to existing homeless resources centers located in the city and
the estimated cost of providing service by the fire department to existing homeless
resource centers and the impact that a new homeless resource center has on the ability of
the fire department to provide services to other parts of the city.
3. Information regarding the number of civil enforcement cases associated with existing
homeless resource centers, including the types of complaints, and the estimated impact to
civil enforcement workloads and ability to provide services to other parts of the city.

Valley Coalition to end homelessness regarding similar uses in Salt Lake County,
including the total number of facilities, the total number of people who use the facilities,
the number of individuals served with overnight tenancy in each facility, the average
percentage of occupancy of the facilities, and the number of nights per year that the other
facilities are at capacity to the extent that the information is available.
7. Data regarding the total number of beds available to people experiencing homelessness

Homeless Resource Center Overlay District, the planning commission and city council shall
27
consider the following factors, in addition to those factors identified elsewhere in Chapter
21A.50:
1. The anticipated benefits to people experiencing homelessness provided by the facility in
the proposed location.
2. The proximity of support services that benefit people who may use the facility and the
ability of people to access services from the proposed location. If services are not within
walking distance of the proposed facility, consideration of a transportation plan
connecting support services to the facility.
3. The ratio of homeless related services provided in Salt Lake City compared to other
jurisdictions in Salt Lake County.

attract crime or produce public nuisances, and land uses that are located by a government
entity or authorized by a government entity and that are not subject to the land use
regulations of the city.

made by the zoning administrator upon receipt of an application pursuant to
Section 21A.50.030. This provision shall not restrict the mayor, the city council or the
planning commission from proposing any text amendment or change in the boundaries of any
of the districts in this title at any time.
B. If the petitioner chooses to modify a petition after the planning commission has made a
recommendation, the petitioner may withdraw the application and submit a new application,
including the required fee, and start a new process as required by this chapter.
C. A modification to a petition that increases the density or development potential in
relationship to the original proposal prior to the planning commission recommendation shall
start the public engagement process over.
28
D. A petition that is denied by the city council may not be resubmitted for a period of one year
from the date of the decision to deny the petition unless the petition proposes a more
restrictive zoning district.
E. A petition for a text amendment that is denied by the city council shall not be resubmitted for
a period of three years from the date of denial if the petition is substantially the same as the
petition that was denied.

first public hearing is held shall be closed with no action. Once a petition is closed after it is
withdrawn, it cannot be reopened, and a new application will be required.
21A.50.065: DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS.
A. The city council may consider applying requirements through an appropriate legal agreement
with a petition for a zoning amendment when the city council determines that such an
agreement is necessary to increase the benefit of the proposed zoning amendment and/or to
address potential impacts to city services, surrounding land uses, public safety, and the health
of current and future residents, business owners, and visitors to the city. The agreement may
modify any applicable requirement of this title provided the modification was proposed to
and considered by the planning commission as required for any zoning amendment.
Agreements that constrain the development potential or land uses of the subject property
compared to what is authorized in the proposed zoning district are not required to be
reviewed by the planning commission prior to consideration of the agreement.

Date:Wednesday, November 8, 2023 2:03:18 PM
Krissy-Could you send this comment to the Dropbox? I expect to attend the meeting in
person. Thank you.
Sincerely, cindy c.
comment on Community Benefit:
This is a significant piece of work and well written, just as I would expect. I only
have time to talk about my concerns, but I appreciate these long overdue
changes and amendments.
We know from the Housing Loss Mitigation ordinance that if developers can
pay a fee to be relieved of their obligation, that is what they will do. And the
fee doesn't cover the cost of replacing housing.
I think that the community benefits would benefit from an examination in
terms of the potential return to the developer. Some of them will generate
income; others will not. The ones which will not have a different community
benefit than ones which will. That said, the community benefit which we need
most is housing at less than 80% AMI. I am suggesting that there be more
math applied in evaluating the benefits.
I am opposed to the inclusion of publicly accessible open space in the core of
the city where of course we desperately need it. That is because we have not
provided adequate shelter to require that people not live in our park spaces.
On November 1, the residents of Liberty Park were dispersed. They went to
Herm Franks and moved north on 600 E, locating in public spaces and at vacant
buildings. I have now been dealing with the consequences of this displacement
for a week and observed a fire in the park strip on 600 E last night. I spent
months in 2022 working with many other people to return Taufer Park to a
recreational space. In August 2022, it was a disgusting, crime-ridden place that
I would not walk through. Every park space in the core of the city requires a
legion of people to enable it to function for the intended uses.
Finally in Attachment A, 19.06.070C 1. e. The text should read "Preserving
historic structures NOT ALREADY PROTECTED."
I am pleased to see that public input is included in the criteria for evaluation. It
has always been relevant for master plan amendments and rezoning. The fines
for non-compliance are an improvement, but we are a long way from enforcing
fines commensurate with the cost to the city.

Salt Lake City FY 2023-24 Budget Amendment #4 - Revised
Initiative Number/Name Fund Amount
1
Section A: New Items
A-1: Air Quality Incentives
Program Sustainability $230,000.00
Department: Sustainability Prepared By: Angie Nielsen
For questions, please include Debbie Lyons, Angie Nielsen
Sustainability proposed the creation of a new Air Quality Community Incentives Program for the FY 2024 budget and
requested $230,000 to expand the incentives beyond landscaping equipment to include e-bikes, indoor air purifiers,
HVAC filters, and other items to help improve air quality in the community and indoors. The City Council supported
creation of the program but requested that Sustainability provide a written proposal of the program policy and goals
before releasing funds for the additional incentives. Sustainability recently hired the new FTE approved in FY 2024 and
has been working on program design.
This budget amendment serves to provide a description of the proposed program and to request additional funding which
is needed for Sustainability to move forward with soliciting RFPs, the next critical step in program development. Below is a
description of the proposed program. Sustainability is in the process of compiling a separate document detailing the Air
Quality Incentives Program Plan, which will be made available to the City Council before the Budget Amendment is
briefed. The Department is also currently working with Purchasing on the RFP scope of work but are awaiting budget
approval before finalizing and releasing the RFP.
1) E-BIKE PROGRAM ($200,000)
Sustainability has collaborated with other City Departments to design the program application, back-end system for the
vouchers, the procurement process, and logos and branding design. Sustainability has also met with several local bike
shops to get their input on the anticipated program design and contract process. To meet the goal of a Spring launch, it is
crucial that an RFP be published as soon as possible so the suppliers can be selected, contracts prepared, and the
implementation details finalized. The department anticipates:
-Working with up to five bike shops with physical storefronts in Salt Lake City to serve as suppliers for the program.
- Vouchers will be made available for cargo bikes ($800 standard voucher/$1,400 income-qualified voucher), commuter
bikes ($400 standard/$1,000 income-qualified), and adaptive bikes ($600 standard/$1,200 income-qualified). Off-road
bikes will not be eligible. Higher voucher amounts will be available for income-qualified applicants. Discounts will be
applied at the time of purchase. 50% of program funds will be reserved for low-income vouchers.
-Assuming most applicants select commuter bikes, and 50% of the funds go to low-income applicants, approximately 350
vouchers could be distributed.
-Suppliers will be expected to provide a discount on bike safety accessories (helmets, lights, locks, etc), help educate
customers on bike safety and etiquette, provide test rides, and provide basic maintenance support.
2) INDOOR AIR QUALITY ($30,000)
The department will work with the Housing Stability Division’s Handyman and Home Repair Programs to distribute high-
efficiency HVAC filters, air purifiers, and single burner induction cooktops to homeowners served by these programs.
Sustainability anticipates reaching approximately 60 homes. This program will also include an educational component to
help residents understand how to improve indoor air quality in their homes, such as brochures and in-person
consultations. Air quality monitors may also be included as a tool to help residents become aware of how routine activities
impact indoor air quality.
Sustainability has asked that the E-Bike portion of this item be straw polled to move the RFP process forward. Please
reference the attached documents for a program overview.

A-2: Short-Term Rental
Identification Software
GF $49,000.00
Department: CAN Prepared By: Antonio Padilla / Ken Anderson
For questions, please include Antonio Padilla, Ken Anderson, Blake Thomas, Tammy Hunsaker and
Brent Beck
On April 4th, 2023, the City Council approved significant updates to the ADU ordinance. With this ordinance, the council
desires to properly monitor and enforce ADUs used as short-term rentals that are non-compliant with city codes.
To properly monitor permitted ADUs and ensure compliance, the city would like to contract with a company to identify
rental properties used and marketed as short-term rentals accurately. Inspectors are tasked with sifting through large
amounts of data to identify a potential non-compliant property manually. It is necessary to implement this strategy as
soon as possible to use our resources more efficiently.
CAN has coordinated with IMS and the Innovations Team prior to the decision to move forward with an amendment
request. However, since this software is specific to Civil Enforcement, the decision was made to house the budget in CAN
instead of IMS.
The anticipated annual cost of the short-term rental software is $39,000 per year, with a 3-year agreement. Keeping up
with the latest enforcement trends is necessary by sending our inspectors for training annually for short-term rental and
code enforcement. The cost of training would be approximately $10,000. The total amount needed is $49,000 annually.
A-4: Immediate Needs in Liberty

CIP $285,125.00
Department: Public Lands Prepared By: Toby Hazelbaker
For questions, please include Kristin Riker, Toby Hazelbaker and Gregg Evans
The Department of Public Lands is requesting a budget amendment for Liberty Park needs totaling $316,375. A $285,125
portion of this is slated for one-time use to address the greenhouse and gates CIP needs discussed in the narrative below.
This one-time portion will come from this fiscal year’s Public Lands vacancy and attrition savings which will be transferred
to CIP for project completion. The remaining $31,250 is being requested from the general fund balance for ongoing costs
at Liberty Park. The breakdown of all $316,375 in costs is contained in the table below.
Ongoing Costs Greenhouse Costs $31,250
One-time Greenhouse Costs $248,015
One-time Gate Costs $37,110
Total Costs to General Fund for FY 2024 $316,375
The first request is to aid in the displacement of staff and operations at the Liberty Park Greenhouse due to a recent
facilities condition assessment that has deemed the greenhouse to be unsafe for City employees. The second is for the
purchase of gates to block roads at Liberty Park, due to increased after-hours cars entering the park.
Greenhouse –In October 2023, Public Lands received a Facility Condition Assessment contracted by the Facilities
Division within Public Services. The assessment identified several concerns, and that structurally, the main house, the
south green house and the concrete deck over the underground garage are severely damaged. Staff and operations are no
longer using this facility and the department is working on a temporary solution to accommodate operations while design
and construction of a new facility is worked out. An FY 2025 CIP application will be submitted for design and to create
construction documents for the mitigation and repairs of the facility. Public Lands and Engineering are currently working
to secure a contractor for a structural review of the site. Depending on the outcome of that review, the current request for
Salt Lake City FY 2023-24 Budget Amendment #4 - Revised

funding could be used in one of two ways. The first and most desirable will be to make repairs to the East greenhouse (the
West greenhouse and office area are very unlikely to be eligible for repair). The second option will be to purchase hoop
houses for the annual plants, fencing to protect the temporary greenhouses, access to water, and to supply power with a
new transformer. The current transformer is near capacity and cannot serve this temporary solution. The new transformer
will be used for the greenhouse once mitigation or reconstruction is complete in either option. The Department is
requesting funds to rent a mobile office with restrooms for the staff based out of the greenhouse.The one-time
amount requested has been calculated to cover the cost of the hoop house option, as the structural review
is not complete.
SLC Trails and Natural Lands will rent underutilized greenhouse space at University of Utah to maintain the native plant
program. The City will provide learning opportunities in plant propagation and production, and native plants, for
University students.
Liberty Park Gates –The open road into Liberty Park is leading to significant afterhours activity. This includes vehicle
camping, the sale of drugs, vandalism (wire is being pulled from light posts by attaching the wire to vehicle bumpers), and
other crime. In addition, many vehicles remain on site through the night after closing hours. As both Code Enforcement
and Police increase efforts to secure the park at closing time, without locked gates, it is not feasible to fully achieve.
Exterior gates to the main park loop (both north and south locations) will control vehicle access to the park after hours,
where interior gates along the interior loop (both east and west) will help control parking problems as well as late evening
vandalism, unpermitted events and illegal event parking issues in the future. The gates selected are simple, stock, tube-
steel, black-painted, manual swinging and hand-locked. The historic preservation group is satisfied with the proposed
solution.
A-5: Public Lands One-time
Budget Reallocation

$225,000.00
GF - Use of Vacancy & Attrition
Savings
$333,000.00
Fleet $333,000.00
Department: Public Lands Prepared By: Gregg Evans
For questions, please include Kristin Riker and Gregg Evans
The Public Lands Department is requesting a budget amendment to reallocate $558,000 as a one-time move of funds from
the department’s existing personnel budget generated by attrition and vacancy savings to other operational expense
categories. The Department is proposing to transfer a one-time amount of $333,000 to the Fleet Fund to order critical
operational equipment for redundancy purposes, and to reallocate a one-time amount of $225,000 to the operations and
maintenance budget to cover one-time contracted services. This item does not include a requested allocation from general
fund fund balance.
The $333,000 request mentioned above is to procure two (2) additional mowers and an excavator. The large-area mower
is in regular use in the Parks division. Mowers range in age from 2010 to 2019, with a median age of 8.5 years where the
average retirement age for these mowers is 10 years. At one point during the 2023 season, four of eight wide-area mowers
were out of service, and it is not uncommon to have two or three units out of service at any time. Irrigation repairs are
another constant in the Parks Division. Staff utilize mini excavators to dig up and repair lines. When this aging excavator
equipment fails, there are increased delays in repairing leaks and breaks and a greater chance of dead trees, turf, and
shrubs. Based on the latest bids for this equipment the ordering lead time was around 18 months. With lead times this far
out, ordering this equipment now will significantly accelerate the purchasing process and delivery of equipment.
The $225,000 request mentioned above is to address staff challenges. Hiring full and part-time positions has become
increasingly challenging for the Public Lands Department, which has generated attrition and vacancy savings this year.
When positions are not filled, a backlog of work accumulates. The Department is proposing to utilize contracted labor in

this instance to maintain continuity of operations and relieve workloads for existing staff. Without contracted labor,
essential maintenance functions cannot be performed as expected by the public and the Council.
A-6: Fire Station 1 Fencing Impact Fees $130,275.00
CIP $130,275.00
Department: Public Services and
Fire
Prepared By: JP Goates / Michael Fox
For questions, please include JP Goates, Kimberley Schmeling, Michael Fox, Jorge Chamorro and Karl
Lieb
Fire Station 1, at 211 South 500 East, is located on the corner of 500 East and 200 South. It has one driveway that enters
the parking lot from 500 E. and another that enters from 200 S. The parking lot is not well lit and is secluded. The
location, pedestrian traffic, and access from two directions has led to many issues over the years.
• People often cut through the parking lot to get to the businesses on 500 E.
• Persons experiencing homelessness have set up camping spots in the parking lot.
• When returning to the station at night, crews have seen people running out of the parking lot on multiple
occasions.
• Since 2019, SLC PD has opened 14 cases related to issues in the parking lot. Including vehicle theft, prowling, and
property theft.
• Since 2018, SLC PD has responded to 45 calls at the station that were not made into active cases.
It is the Salt Lake City Fire Department’s priority to provide a safe area to conduct emergency response and for our
employees to park and secure their private property while on shift. The department believes that a gated fence to the
parking lot would assist in creating a safer area to conduct emergency responses and in preventing crime.
The Facilities Division has received estimates for installation of security fencing at the perimeter of Fire Station 1. This will
include chain link at the rear perimeter and ornamental fencing and gates at the front of the station and two access points.
Fire impact fees excess capacity is proposed to be utilized for this request.
A-7: Increase Fleet Maintenance
Capacity
GF $348,809.00
GF $51,100.00
Fleet $348,809.00
Fleet 42,100.00
IMS 9,000.00
Department: Public Services Prepared By: Julie Crookston / Jorge Chamorro
For questions, please include Jorge Chamorro, Julie Crookston, Kimberley Schmeling, Denise Sorensen
and Nancy Bean
For the last several years the Fleet division has been extremely conservative in its budget requests as leadership was
determining how Fleet maintenance needs had changed due to the long-lasting impacts of the pandemic. The pandemic
caused drastic changes to the automotive industry, such as increased costs and delivery time for parts and vehicles, with
some vehicle orders being completely cancelled. These issues have resulted in an older fleet that has more maintenance
needs at the same time the size of the fleet has increased as departments grow. Additionally, there were drastic changes to
vehicle usage during the pandemic, which are now showing lasting consequences. All these factors have necessitated
creative measures to maintain adequate Fleet services.
During the FY 2024 budget process, the department was hopeful it could continue to maintain its level of services for one
more year with the intention to ask for more resources during the FY 2025 budget process. However, this approach is no
longer sufficient. Fleet has been sending more and more vehicles to outside vendors for repairs, i.e. sublet and offering
Salt Lake City FY 2023-24 Budget Amendment #4 - Revised

overtime to existing mechanics, such that 73% of the budget for those items has already been used while only half the year
has elapsed. Additionally, multiple departments in the City have experienced operational impacts due to the slow
turnaround of vehicles. Unless more resources are dedicated to increased Fleet maintenance capacity, turnaround time for
vehicles will continue to increase, causing City operations to be adversely affected as City employees are unable to perform
their work without a vehicle.
Three new mechanics (FTEs) and minimal sublet funding are being requested. The total amount needed for this request
will be $399,909. An amount of $9,000 is also included for IMS to provide the necessary hardware and software for each
new hire. A detailed breakdown of expenses is outlined below.
Fleet Mechanics (3 FTE)–on-going $91,809
Education & Training –one-time $42,100
IMS Expense (software, hardware) one-time $9,000
Outside Repair –Mechanical (sublet) one-time $257,000
Total Costs to General Fund for FY 2024 $399,909
Adding three (3) new mechanics to the Fleet shop would increase capacity in the long term such that Fleet could maintain
service levels while utilizing normal amounts of sublet and overtime funding. The original intent was to request these FTEs
in the upcoming budgetary process; however, fleet maintenance capacity needs to be increased more quickly. It is
anticipated that these mechanics could be hired between February and March, but until then, Fleet will need to continue
subletting at the increased rates utilized so far this year.
A-8: Police Clean Neighborhoods
Teams
GF $1,829,000.00
Department: Police Prepared By: Shellie Dietrich
For questions, please include Shellie Dietrich and Chief Brown
The Salt Lake City Police Department is requesting $1,829,000 to staff officers (hereby referred to as “mitigation
officers”), on overtime, as part of the City’s ongoing efforts to reduce illegal camping, improve park safety, and to enforce
the Department’s Downtown Safety Initiative (DSI).
Currently, the Department is utilizing two (2) full-time sergeants to coordinate and manage mitigation officers working on
overtime focused on enforcing the law, prioritizing public safety, and reducing victimization while simultaneously
demonstrating compassion and empathy for the city’s unsheltered community.
Due to the sheer volume of calls for service and current staffing levels, the Department does not have the available
resources that can be dedicated for mitigation services without the use of overtime.
In October 2023, with the increase of shelter bed availability, the Department increased the number of mitigation officers,
utilizing overtime from both ARPA grant funding and general fund. These mitigation officers are primarily assigned
around the “Temporary Shelter Community” (TSC) in the Rio Grande District but may assist, as needed, in other areas
within the City. Within the TSC, a private contractor provides security 24/7 for operational needs. If there is a call for
police services, SLCPD officers would respond. The mitigation officers, in addition to regular proactive patrol work, are
frequently requested by the Salt Lake County Health Department to assist with enhanced mitigation impact clean ups.
Due to fluctuation in officer availability for mitigation overtime shifts and delays in the Department’s staffing retention
program, the Department had unspent budget in FY23 from vacancy savings. However, the Department does not
anticipate having a large budget savings at the end of FY24 due to its increase in hiring and other financial needs including
coverage for patrol calls for service and increased staffing needs for public order events, that may be covered using FY24
vacancy savings.
For the remainder of FY24 and FY25, the Department will need to rely on overtime funding to staff mitigation officers,
especially during the summer months when the City’s unsheltered population historically increases as the number of

shelter beds decreases with the emergency winter shelters closing. The Department anticipates, and is planning for,
additional FTEs for the Department to sustain its mitigation efforts.
In the future, the Department intends to request additional officers for one (1) sergeant and five (5) officers. This squad
will be similar to the Department’s Homeless Resource Center squads but will have a responsibility area that includes the
future home of the state’s Micro Community Shelter (MCS). The MCS will qualify as a Tier 1 shelter, and is expecte d to be
located on 700 West, just south of Interstate 80. This squad will only be a portion of the needed staffing as it will only
cover four-10-hour days out of seven-24-hour periods. The phased deployment will coincide with hiring and training of
new officers. Full implementation of the grant funded squad is expected within 15-18 months.

Software
IMS $194,540.00
Department: Police /IMS Prepared By: Shellie Dietrich / Aaron Bentley
For questions, please include Aaron Bentley, Shellie Dietrich, Joseph Anthony and Gloria Cortes
This request is for a software solution that provides investigative tools for accessing and extracting electronic data from
cell phones, offered by Cellebrite. The current process is very labor and resource intensive. This software will provide the
needed tools and reduces costs to IMS in the PC replacement program and software staff.
The capability for Police and Fire investigators to utilize data extraction for case investigations is very limited. The current
software solution is not functional on the computers that these positions have, which is creating extensive delays in
investigations and case resolution. Without this software upgrade, IMS would need to replace currently existing computers
with computers that have additional functionality, including more robust storage, and better video and graphic cards.
Police has worked closely with IMS in determining the best long-term solution, leading to this recommendation. The
amount requested to support this need is $194,540 in ongoing cost.

IMS $203,148.00
Department: Police / IMS Prepared By: Shellie Dietrich / Aaron Bentley
For questions, please include Aaron Bentley, Shellie Dietrich, Joseph Anthony and Gloria Cortes
This request is for Versaterm Case Service. Versaterm is the records management system (RMS) and computer aided
design (CAD) system utilized by public safety. Case Services is a versaterm product that integrates with the RMS/CAD. It
provides an online reporting solution for the community to report non-emergency calls for service online.They’re
provided with a case number and routed to the proper area for response. This is a software upgrade that is now required
with the Versaterm upgrade to 8.1 that has significant enhancements efficiencies and will provide efficiencies for the
public safety departments within the city and improved customer service for the community. This upgrade provides
enhanced online reporting including NIBRs data collection and validation and case auto-transcription of general offense
reports of non-emergency incident entered through Case Service Reporting. It streamlines the process of receiving reports
from Loss Prevention / Shoplift departments with a reporting process for big box retailers. Also significant improvements
were made to the Case Service dashboard to provide better insight into quantities, types, and status of all Case Service
submissions. This software also provides a phone tree for non-emergency calls to public safety.
A-11: Outside Traffic Signal
Repair
GF $250,000.00
Department: Public Services Prepared By: Julie Crookston
For questions, please include Julie Crookston, Jorge Chamorro, Mark Stephens
Traffic signals at two separate intersections in the City have been damaged by non-city vehicles. (Gladiola and California
signals were damaged by a semi-truck roll over; 200 West 100 South signals were damaged by a grade-all forklift hitting
the mast arm and spinning the pole foundation.) The damage is severe enough that they cannot be repaired by our in-
house technicians. Street’s staff has obtained quotes for the repairs needed from our contracted vendor. This work will
ultimately be paid for by the insurance companies of the outside entities who caused the damage. However, Risk has
informed us that best practice is for the repairs to be managed by the City,and then to be reimbursed by the insurance

companies. This will ensure the City receives full compensation for the damages as the total cost will only be known after
the work is complete. Public Services does not have sufficient funding in our budget to cover the cost of repairs. No long-
term impact to the general fund is expected as, once the work is completed, Risk will seek reimbursement from the
insurance companies, and the money will go back to the general fund. The timing of this reimbursement is unknown and
may not be in the same fiscal year as the expenditures are incurred. This request is for $250,000 which includes a 10%
contingency on the quotes that we have received.
This is a replacement only - no design necessary; no upgrade and no addition to be made and is not a CIP.

For questions, please include Lisa Kehoe, Megan Dickerson and Sandee Moore
The City needs to match existing medical dispatch protocol equipment and processes currently being used by the Salt Lake
Valley Emergency Communications Center (“VECC”). (Salt Lake City Code subsection 3.24.160(1)(b))-The City’s
continued use of ProQA’s dispatching software would also not be conducive to accomplishing the shared CAD
requirements expressed by the legislature because continued use of different dispatching protocols, not only slows the
City’s dispatch responses down but also hinders dispatch process es throughout Salt Lake County. The Versaterm CAD can
only use one medical protocol and the fact that the City and VECC currently use different medical protocols creates
unnecessary complications that arise when a 911 call needs to be transferred between the City and VECC. In such
situations each agency must take time to change the call to fit the parameters in each dispatch center’s medical protocol
before help can be dispatched. By contracting with APCO for medical dispatch services, the City can achieve a genuinely
interoperable common CAD system that will eliminate delays in time, allow for the inefficient use of resources, and ease
the continuity gaps that currently arise when calls are transferred between dispatch centers. If the department doesn’t
move forward with this new equipment, it will be forced to continue with the existing equipment that is inefficient and
renew the old contract. The costs shown are all one-time expenditures. Once implemented, the department will have the
ability to train its staff members instead of outsourcing through another agency. If industry standards require an update to
the protocols, those will not be an additional accrued cost. Funding will come from the E911 fund, which has a fund
balance of $5,256,661 as of June. Please see the attached document for further detail.

For questions, please include Kristin Riker, Tyler Murdock and Gregg Evans
In FY2024 BA2, Public Lands requested to move four (4) full-time landscape architect positions to Public Lands
Department. This was in response to the urgency and high expectations that the City and the public have regarding the
100+ existing parks, trails, and open space capital projects, and particularly the dozens of high profile projects from 2022's
Sales Tax Revenue Bond and General Obligation (or GO) Bond. The request included the creation of a Division with a
Division Director to oversee and facilitate immediate and efficient project delivery.
BA2 was left open with the intent to revisit the request to create an appointed Division Director position. At this time, the
Department of Public Lands is requesting a FY24 $0 housekeeping budget amendment to reclassify the Public Lands
Department's Planning Manager position (Grade 33) to an appointed Planning & Design Division Director (Grade 35). The
cost difference will be made up by the Department's FY 23/24 budget's vacancy savings and the ongoing funding will be
included in the department’s general budget request in the following fiscal year (FY 24/25).
The updated appointed pay plan provided by HR is also included to reflect this change.
D-2: Ongoing Landfill Projects CIP $1,000,000.00
Department: Public Services Prepared By: JP Goates, Mark Stephens
For questions, please include JP Goates, Kimberley Schmeling, Mark Stephens and Jorge Chamorro
The landfill unallocated CIP account has been receiving revolving funds for various ongoing landfill projects. The funds
placed in the account are applied to individual projects and then reimbursed to the General Fund. Module 8 is the next
step in the series of landfill modules where refuse will be placed. It is needed to continue the expansion of the landfill to
accommodate ongoing growth. Module 8 is approximately 40 acres and has a clay liner and HDPE welded liner
underneath to protect the groundwater from the landfill leachate. There have been change orders to Module 8 that require
the fund to be replenished. This reimbursable fund also needs to be in place for current and future projects on a revolving
basis.
Public Services’ Engineering Finance bills the County after services are provided. This is a pass-through cost that used to
reside under Waste and Recycling but has since been moved to Engineering. Since Engineering oversees the
improvements, it was determined that Public Services should process the pass-through costs as well.

Council (ED)
Prepared By: Felicia Baca; Amy Dorsey
Salt Lake City applied for a grant with Bloomberg Philanthropies. The grant aims to educate and inspire residents and
visitors to identify possible solutions and take action locally and nationally. Public art projects will be structured around
major themes such as water conservation, air quality, agriculture, industry, environmental and social justice- including
indigenous rights and lake ecology. Salt Lake City's proposed project consists of 1) a series of 3-5 significant artworks
created by world-renowned artists across the city. These artists will be selected to leverage their notoriety and practice
while bringing awareness to our civic issues. 2) a series of temporary public art projects by local and regional artists and
organizations in various disciplines, including but not limited to performers, sculptors, painters, muralists, printmakers,
filmmakers, poets, new media, etc. By commissioning our local community of artists to create context and site-specific
artworks about the Great Salt Lake, our local community will be able to reflect on this crisis in new and compelling ways.
Bloomberg Philanthropies is awarding the City $1,000,000 to fund the two-year public art project, Wake the Great Salt
Lake.
Salt Lake City will be providing a match of $1,060,000 with in-kind staff time and other grant funding.

Prepared By: Michelle Hoon; Amy Dorsey
The State has given the City an increase for the Homeless Mitigation grant. As a reminder, the City was awarded
$3,107,201 for FY 2024. This award was for 1) Public Safety staff, program supplies, equipment, and vehicle maintenance,
2) Two sub-awards for Volunteers of America and Downtown Alliance, and 3) 2 HEART Coordinators, a Case Manager,
half the salary of a grant’s person along with training, travel,and program supplies.
Due to the City hosting overflow beds, the City will receive additional funds for FY 24. In total, the City will receive
$650,000. 2/3 of that money will go directly to shelter providers. The City will retain $216,439.66, which is required to be
put toward public safety. This money will be used for PD overtime in the Rio Grande area around the new Temporary
Shelter Community.
A public hearing was held for the Homeless Mitigation Grant on September 19, 2023.

Clean Air SLC Initiative
The Sustainability Department is developing Clean Air SLC, an initiative that aims to distribute
equipment and information to help residents improve air quality in their communities and inside their
homes.Clean Air SLC will distribute resources through three incentive programs: E-Bike Rebates, Indoor
Air Quality Tools, and Electric Yard Care Equipment.
The City Council supported the creation of an Air Quality Incentives Program during the Citywide FY24
budget process. Budget was appropriated to continue offering Electric Yard Care Equipment exchanges
and hire a new full-time employee (FTE) to help design and administer a more comprehensive Air
Quality Incentives Program tailored for Salt Lakers.
During the FY24 budget process, the City Council requested that the Sustainability Department provide a
written proposal of the program policy and goals for the Electric Bike Rebates and Indoor Air Quality
incentives before approving funding for those two incentives.
Summaries of the three Air Quality Incentives Programs are provided below:
1) Electric-Bike (E-bike) Rebate Program will distribute vouchers to encourage the purchase of e-bikes
as transportation alternatives to cars.
2) Indoor Air Quality Program will distribute indoor air purifiers, HVAC filters, and induction stoves
though the City’s existing housing programs.
3) Electric Yard Care Equipment Program will offer rebate for residents to purchase electric yard care
equipment, such as snowblowers, lawn mowers, leaf blowers, etc. The Sustainability Department
continues to work closely with the Utah Division of Air Quality on the details of this program. This
program is not addressed in this document because the Department is waiting on critical decisions
from DAQ before designing this program.
The Department is requesting $230,000 to fund the E-bike Rebate and Indoor Air Quality Programs.
Funding is needed for the Department to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the E-bike Program and
to purchase equipment for the Indoor Air Quality Program, the next critical steps in program
development.
The purpose of this document is to provide information for the City Council about the currently
proposed E-bike Rebate and Indoor Air Quality program design, the programs for which funding is being
requested. The proposed program components described here are based on feedback from internal and
external stakeholders and research of similar programs in other cities. Program details are still under
development and will be finalized this Winter and Spring. The Department looks forward to
incorporating the City Council’s feedback into the proposed program design.
The Department considers this first round a pilot launch and will adjust future launches according to
public needs, lessons learned during the pilot launch, and City policy priorities. The Department plans to
e CLEAN

Ver 1/9/2024 Page 2 of 7
explore available federal and other funding sources to provide supplementary funding for this program
in the future. Establishing a successful pilot will be an important step in securing additional funding
sources.
1. E-Bike Rebate Program Overview
The E-Bike Rebate Program will provide financial incentives for e-
bikes purchased as a transportation alternative to reduce vehicle
miles traveled. The goal of this program is to make e-bikes more
accessible and affordable and inspire residents to embrace a greener and healthier mode of
transportation while contributing to the reduction of transportation-related emissions in our city.
The Department anticipates using $200,000 of the budget amendment request for the E-bike Rebate
Program and aims to launch this program in Summer 2024.
The proposed program description provided in this document is based on feedback and information
collected from local bike shops, bike organizations, and similar programs. The actual program design
may change with additional feedback from stakeholders and depending on the results of the RFP
process.
Research that informed the proposed program design include:
- Bike shops:The Department interviewed five local e-bike suppliers to gather information on the
types of bikes provided, warranty options, and educational and service support provided. The
Department also collected feedback on key program components, such as anticipated voucher
amounts and redemption process, e-bike specifications, and procurement process. The bike
shops interviewed represented a range of business types and included a local e-bike
manufacturer and retailer, locally owned businesses, a national manufacturer and retailer, and a
national retailer.
- Bike organizations:The Department gathered feedback and explored partnership opportunities
with Bike Utah and other local organizations. Additionally, the Department researched policy
documents prepared by national bicycling organizations, such as The League of American
Cyclists and People for Bikes.
- Other E-Bike Incentives Programs:The Department conducted extensive researched on e-bike
incentive programs across the country and have been in close communication with UCAIR about
the Magnum+UCAIR E-Bike Incentive Program, which launched Summer 2023. This research was
intended to understand different program options, models, and lessons-learned.
1.1. Vouchers and Applicant Eligibility Criteria
The Department anticipates vouchers will range from $400 to $1,400 depending on bike type and
income. Higher voucher amounts will be available to income-qualified applicants. Vouchers will be used
at the point-of-sale to reduce the purchase price of the e-bike. The table below provides a summary of
the anticipated voucher amounts:

1.1.2. Voucher Distribution
It is anticipated that the application period will be open for at least one week for the general public.
Vouchers will be distributed through a lottery system, ensuring a fair and random allocation among
participants.
The Department proposes to prioritize vouchers distribution to income-qualified applicants to ensure
this program benefits a demographic that may face financial barriers to adopting e-bikes for
transportation and welcomes the City Council’s feedback on how to design this prioritization structure.
The Department is considering strategies to effectively encourage low-income residents to apply, such
as targeted outreach, a longer application period, and bike safety training events. These strategies are
further discussed in Section 1.3.
Voucher recipients will be able to redeem their vouchers at any of the participating bike shops. The
Sustainability Department has been working with IMS to develop a program application and an
automated voucher reimbursement process.
1.1.3. Applicant Eligibility
Applicants must be residents of Salt Lake City and 18-years of age or older. A valid driver’s license or
other State-issued ID card will be required to apply. A utility bill or bank statement will be required to
demonstrate proof of residency. Each household will be eligible to receive up to two vouchers.

• Proof of enrollment in another State or federal income-qualifying assistance program
1.2. E-Bike Suppliers
Feedback gathered from potential bike suppliers has been incorporated into a draft RFP. The
competitive selection process will be initiated if funding is appropriated by the City Council. The
Department anticipates selecting up to 5 suppliers for the e-bike program. Suppliers will be selected
based on the quality of bikes sold, proposed bike safety accessory packages, level of maintenance
support provided, and staff experience and knowledge of e-bikes.
Anticipated bike eligibility requirements and supplier responsibilities are listed below, but all are subject
to change.
Suppliers must have a storefront within Salt Lake City boundaries and will be responsible for the
following:
• Voucher Redemption
o Verifying identity of holder of the voucher with a valid driver’s license or
government-issued identification.
o Verifying voucher expiration date, eligibility of the e-bikes with program
requirements and/or a list of eligible bike models.
o Fulfilling voucher recipients' orders within a 14-day period from purchase.
• Voucher Reimbursement
e CLEAN
&llfil SLC
Ver 1/9/2024 Page 5 of 7
o Submitting vouchers to the Sustainability Department’s Program Administrator for
reimbursement within 10 business days from date of transaction along with
receipts.
• Customer Education/Support
o Providing a smooth and consistent process for users picking up their e-bikes.
Suppliers must explain and set expectations with customers about e-bike
maintenance and care.
o Sharing cycling and e-bike ownership educational materials provided by Salt Lake
City to program participants.
o Providing information to support recipients registering their bikes with the
manufacturer and the Salt Lake City police department.
o Providing an opportunity for voucher recipients to test ride e-bikes before the final
sale.
• Bike Safety and Maintenance Support
o Offering a discount on bike safety accessories, including helmets, lights, patch kits,
and locks, to voucher recipients at the time of purchase.
o Providing a free 90-day tune-up on bikes sold from their location.
o Installing and maintaining on-site flat prevention systems.
1.3. Outreach Strategy
The Department is currently developing an outreach plan and tools. The plan will outline details for
press releases, social media posts, and other promotions. This plan will also detail strategies to reach
low-income residents, such as partnerships with organizations working in these communities, culturally
appropriate materials, and bike safety training and bike demonstration events to educate new and
inexperienced bike riders. Graphically designed materials are being developed and include logos, social
media templates, brochure templates, and other resources, which you can see in this document. The
Department will work with IMS’ Civic Engagement and Media Teams and the Transportation Division in
the development of the outreach plan and tools.The Department welcomes the City Council’s feedback
on the outreach strategy.
1.4. Program Metrics
The Department will track metrics to measure the effectiveness and impact of the program. Some of
these metrics could include:
• Engagement rates with outreach materials
• Percentage of applicants that are new to bike riding
• Applicant demographics
• Percentage of vouchers redeemed
• Follow-up survey to gauge usage frequency, miles travelled, car miles replaced, costs to
operate, and participant satisfaction with purchased e-bike and the program
• Estimated greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission reductions
• Number of educational sessions conducted, number of attendees

1.5. Other Considerations
It is important to recognize that bike storage, riding etiquette, parking, and infrastructure are critical
considerations that can impact the adoption of cycling as a transportation alternative. While the
Department cannot resolve all these issues through a voucher program, we are assessing the challenges
and identifying opportunities to incorporate solutions into this program, for example through requiring
discounted safety equipment, assistance with registering bikes, analyzing bike storage and security
solutions to propose and work with partners to support implementation, and continuing to develop
relationships with bike advocacy organizations to assist with education and outreach.
Through this program the Department will continue to explore opportunities to work in partnership to
address challenges to the adoption of e-bikes as transportation. Recognizing these issues cannot be
quickly resolved, this program can be a catalyst to systematically address some of these challenges.
2. Indoor Air Quality Program
Research continues to show how the air inside our homes can,
at times, be more polluted and harmful to health than the air
outside. Furthermore, during high pollution periods, outdoor air
can infiltrate homes and buildings, impacting the health of those inside. Thankfully, there are simple
equipment and behavioral measures that can significantly improve indoor air quality. For these reasons,
the Sustainability Department began an educational campaign in 2022 around indoor air quality, hosting
a partnership event to learn about the latest research, and incorporating messaging on the SLCgreen
social media platforms, blog posts and website.
Under the leadership of Mayor Mendenhall, in the FY24 budget process the Department proposed
enhancing the air quality incentives program by providing tools that will directly improve the air inside
people’s homes, particularly those who have lower household incomes. To do so, the Department plans
to collaborate with the Housing Stability Division’s Handyman and Home Repair programs to distribute
high-efficiency HVAC filters, air purifiers, and single-burner induction cooktops. The Department
anticipates using $30,000 of the budget amendment request for this Indoor Air Quality program.
Based on Housing Stability’s program data from past years, the Department anticipate working with 60
homes over a one-year period. The number of homes served will depend on the number of applicants
the housing programs enroll, and types of repairs performed.
If funding is approved, the Department will begin working with contractors for the Handyman and Home
Repair programs to start distributing indoor air quality tools.
2.1. Indoor Air Quality Assessment
For their existing programs, Housing Stability staff conducts a home assessment to assist residents with
their applications and evaluate the rehabilitation needs of the home. The Department plans to work
with Housing Stability staff to collect information during these assessments to identify the appropriate
indoor air quality interventions for each home, such as furnace type and age, stove type (gas vs.
electric), age of household members, and health concerns (such as respiratory and heart diseases).

&llfil SLC
Ver 1/9/2024 Page 7 of 7
2.2. Indoor Air Quality Equipment
The Department proposes distributing the following interventions:
• High-efficiency furnace filters with efficiency ratings of MERV 13 or higher will be offered
along with instructions for replacing filters, and reminders for filter replacement. MERV 13
filters are not appropriate in all instances because they can diminish the efficiency and
performance of the furnace. An assessment of the age and condition of the furnace will be
conducted, and the highest-efficiency option will be provided if a MERV 13 filter is not
appropriate.
• Air Purifiers will be offered to homes where residents have health conditions exacerbated
by poor air quality or where high efficiency filters cannot be installed.
• Single-burner induction stoves will be offered to homes that have gas stoves. Stoves fueled
by natural gas can result in high levels of indoor air pollution. Program participants will be
provided information on the impact of gas stoves on indoor air quality and will be offered a
single-burner induction stove along with appropriate cookware.
• Indoor Air Quality Monitors will be offered as a tool to increase awareness of how routine
activities impact indoor air quality.
2.3. Educational Components
This program will also include an educational component to help residents understand how to improve
indoor air quality in their homes. The materials will discuss strategies for improving indoor air quality
and will include instructions for the materials distributed by our program. These materials will be
distributed through the City’s Handyman and Home Repair Programs.
Sustainability is also exploring partnerships with other organizations, such as community health workers,
to distribute educational materials and promote the City’s Handyman and Home Repair Programs and
the Clean Air SLC programs.
2.4. Program Metrics & Outcomes
The Department will track metrics to measure the effectiveness and impact of the program. Some of
these metrics could include:
• Engagement rates with outreach materials
• Percentage of applicants interested in these interventions
• Types and number of interventions installed
• Applicant demographics
• Follow-up survey to gauge usage frequency, impact of educational material, and satisfaction
with the program

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Jennifer Bruno & Allison Rowland
Budget & Policy Analysts
DATE:February 6, 2024
RE: RESOLUTION: UNIVERSITY OF UTAH BASEBALL STADIUM PUBLIC BENEFITS
ANALYSIS
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will be briefed on a public benefit analysis conducted by Salt Lake City that would allow the
University of Utah to lease approximately 1.175 acres of City-owned land at a below-market rate and term for 99
years. The land is located at approximately 1735 Sunnyside Avenue and is currently used for a softball field and a
multipurpose field at Sunnyside Park. The University requested this lease to facilitate expansion of its baseball
playing field to meet National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) requirements. The University has stated
that this lease would enable sufficient expansion of the baseball playing field to avoid the need to construct
undesirable elements, such as a 35-foot wall between the western boundary of Sunnyside Park and the ballfield.
The Administration believes the benefits from an expanded ballpark, which would be available to the public
when not in use by the University teams (pending negotiations), combined with a $4.2 million contribution from
the University for new amenities at Sunnyside Park, would be sufficient to ensure that the proposed agreement
represents an overall benefit for the public. The Administration is recommending that the Council approve the
public benefits analysis, as it believes the agreement is in the long-term interest of the City.
A public hearing on this item will be scheduled for February 20, 2024.
Goal of the briefing: Review the public benefit analysis and, after a public hearing, consider adopting a
resolution which would authorize the below-market ground lease rate and term to the University of Utah.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: February 6, 2024
Public Hearing: February 20
Potential Action: TBD

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND BACKGROUND
A.Lease Term. The proposed lease term is $1 per year for a 99-year term. The 2023 fair market value of the
property was assessed at $0.68 per square foot, for a total of $434,279.
B.The Public Benefits Analysis.
1.Legal Framework. Under Utah Code 10-8-2 (1)(a)(v), after first holding a public hearing, a
municipality may “authorize municipal services or other nonmonetary assistance to be provided to a
nonprofit entity, whether or not the municipality receives consideration in return.” The University
of Utah qualifies as a nonprofit entity. The Council will consider scheduling a public hearing on this
potential agreement for February 20, 2024.
2.Public Benefits Identified. The University has already decided to build this new stadium. The
only question for the City is whether the benefits of the proposed below-market ground lease of
adjacent property outweigh the alternatives, which would include the installation of a 35-foot high
wall on University property. The Administration’s Public Benefits Analysis found that such a wall
would obstruct existing sight lines in Sunnyside Park that provide natural surveillance and improve
park safety. The specific public benefits from allowing the University to build a ballpark with an
outfield that would extend onto City-owned property in Sunnyside Park are summarized below.
a. A $4.2 million contribution from the University for new amenities at Sunnyside Park (and
potentially relocating softball fields).
b. Potentially, when not in use by University teams (subject to negotiation):
i. allowing the City to program a multi-use field within the future ballpark;
ii. allowing City and public access to a portion of the leased acreage, including a proposed
berm and other landscape features; and,
iii. allowing City and public access to amenities like bathrooms and concessions
maintained by the University and located inside the future ballpark.
c. Promoting the City’s reasonable goals and objectives as set forth in the SLC Public Lands
Master Plan, Reimagine Nature. These include:
i. Expanding the amenities in Sunnyside Park to allow it to support more users and uses,
including, potentially, additional active programming that brings people out for art,
events, programs, recreation, and community.
ii. Leveraging resources to make the public space more usable for both the public and the
University while preserving the open space and use of Sunnyside Park.
iii. Expanding the usable area in Sunnyside Park, provided that the University agrees to
allow public access onto portions of the University property for recreational purposes.
3.City Code Relating to Open Space Inventory. Leasing this part of the park property for use as
a baseball facility would comply with City Ordinance 2.90.070 (C), since it would continue to be “in
accordance with [its] intended use.” For this reason, the lease does not trigger the legal process that
includes extended public notice for this proposed disposition of open space.
POLICY QUESTIONS
Page | 5
1. The Council may wish to discuss options to provide replacement softball fields with lighting, given that
the existing fields at Sunnyside are heavily used by recreation-level leagues.
a. The Council could discuss potential funding sources with the Administration. The
Administration has estimated that if a lighted softball field is constructed on City land, it could
cost approximately $1.5 million. There is a cost efficiency in building two ($2.5 million), and
additional parking would cost approximately $750,000.
b. Vacant City land exists that could host additional softball fields. The Council could also ask
Public Lands if there are any other softball fields in its inventory where lights could be added, to
ensure users of Sunnyside Park softball fields have access to fields on the same basis as they do
currently. The Administration has indicated that they have a submitted a CIP application for
additional soccer fields at the RAC, and softball could be added to that project or funded
separately.
c. Staff note: The original proposal for the Regional Athletic Complex (RAC) included several
lighted softball and baseball fields, but these were ultimately not constructed due to cost
constraints.
d. The Council could ask the Administration if impact fees are eligible to use for enhanced
amenities at Sunnyside park, which could free up funds from the University to use towards
replacing the softball fields.
2. The Chair of the Yalecrest Community Council submitted a communication to the Council expressing
opposition to the proposal (attached). See item B3 above as it relates to the assertion that this action
violates 2.90.070 Removal Of Lands From The Open Space Lands Inventory of the City code.
3. The Council may wish to ask the Administration about the timeline for the University’s stadium
construction.
4. The Council may wish to ask the Administration how programming and activities are proposed to be
managed at the ballpark to minimize impacts on neighboring residential areas and wildlife that use the
area.
5. The Council has authorized significant expansion to the Public Lands Department in recent years, both
to provide the basic staffing needed by e new department, and to help ensure timely and efficient use of
the $85 million bond which was approved by voters in late 2022. Would the Council like to request
additional information on how Public Lands could accommodate another large project into its existing
queue?

Subject: (EXTERNAL) Re: Meeting with Yalecrest Neighborhood Council re: U baseball stadium
Mayor Mendenhall: One correction to my previous email. The city owns Smith’s Ballpark and the LHM
Company has a lease agreement. This certainly affects the dynamics of the situation but it may give the
city more leverage to explore creative ways to address these baseball-related impacts on two
neighborhood communities.

Dear Mayor Mendenhall: The Yalecrest Neighborhood Council is appreciative of your emphasis on
public parks and their place and necessity in the fabric of a healthy city. We commend you for your
vision to promote and win approval for the $85 million GO bond that will fund new parks and
rehabilitate older ones.
We are especially appreciative of your firm stance — on at least three previous occasions — to decline
requests from the University of Utah to lease, sell, gift or transfer land in Sunnyside Park to the U for
their use as part of a new, proposed collegiate baseball stadium.
However, it has come to our attention that the University of Utah will pay the city $4.2 million to lease a
sizable portion of Sunnyside Park property for a new baseball stadium. We understand the land deal is
imminent. If approved, the public will lose precious open space in the park — a major existing baseball
field, a lacrosse field, mature trees and portions of an existing soccer field. When not in use by athletic
teams, these spaces are popular places for dog walkers, runners, casual park visitors, informal sporting
organizations, and all who cherish our diminishing green spaces on the East Side.
We vehemently oppose this land transaction.
Caution: This is an external email. Please be cautious when clicking links or opening attachments.
•It contradicts the intent and spirit of the East Bench Master Plan.
•It ignores community and public opinion.
•It breaks a promise the U gave the Yalecrest Neighborhood Council in 2018 that it would never
build a baseball stadium on the baseball practice field property.
•It dismisses the reality of thousands of students who will occupy new housing units along
Sunnyside Avenue (some built; some under construction) with pent-up needs to use Open Space
in Sunnyside Park.
•It dismisses the fact that the proposed collegiate baseball stadium doesn’t fit the small practice
field and should never be located there. The alternative to this land transaction is a monster 35-
40 foot wall in left field which we’ve heard that even Layton Construction company thinks is ill-
advised from an engineering standpoint.
•It violates Salt Lake City Code 21A that relates to Open Spaces, specifically, 2.90.070 (Removal of
lands from Open Space inventory) which requires the mayor to “explain why the proposed sale
or transfer is in the best interests of the city” in writing; “hold a public hearing before the mayor
and the City Council;” "provide adequate public notice of the proposed sale or transfer;” provide
a myriad of public notifications through mailers to nearby property owners, published
declarations, and public signs;” and prevents the sale or transfer of public lands prior to the six
month period following a public hearing.
We respectively ask the city to adhere to its own laws governing open space transactions.
We also respectfully ask the city to postpone any deal with the university until:
1. Immediate disclosure of the proposed land deal — in the spirit of government transparency.
2. A meeting with the city, impacted neighborhood councils and interested community residents.
3. A transparent public engagement process.
4. Compliance with all city codes pertaining to the sale or transfer of public Open Space land,
which includes a public hearing and a six month waiting period.
With recent news that the Oakland As is interested in using the new professional baseball stadium in
Daybreak under construction by the Larry H. Miller Company — which owns Smith's Ballpark where the
U has played baseball for years — it seems prudent to pump the brakes on any imminent transaction.
This could lead to the Salt Lake Bees and University of Utah having use of Smith’s Ballpark for three
more years — and give the U additional time to find a more suitable location. In other words, a win-win.
This is a time sensitive and urgent matter. Please let us know when you would be able to meet with us
along with several concerned community councils and affected residents.
Respectfully,
Janet (Jan) Hemming

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Salt Lake City Council approve a below-
market ground lease of 1.175 acres of Salt Lake City owned property at approximately 1735
Sunnyside Avenue to the University of Utah to facilitate the expansion of the University’s
baseball playing field to meet NCAA requirements for a competition field. Expanding the
property on which the field is built will allow the design to avoid undesirable elements such as
the need for a 35-foot wall between the ballfield and the western boundary of Sunnyside Park.
Under the proposed ground lease between the City and the University, the City will maintain
ownership of the Leased Area. The ground lease will be structured to require a $1.00 per year
payment over the 99-year lease term. The ground lease will require that the Leased Area be used
solely for recreational and baseball field purposes, with defined access to the public. The 2023
lease value of the City Property is approximately $0.68/square foot, based on the assessed value.

The lease would impact an existing city-owned softball field and multi-purpose field located at

users of Sunnyside Park, including field use and access to additional amenities.

of the program (the “Project”); and
WHEREAS, the University desires to ground lease from the City a portion consisting of
1.175 acres of the City’s property on 1735 Sunnyside Avenue, Salt Lake City, and designated as
Sunnyside Park (the “Leased Area”) to allow the University to expand the outfield of the
baseball field to meet National Collegiate Athletics Association requirements; and
WHEREAS, the City is willing to grant to the University a ground lease rate for the
Leased Area in the amount of $1.00 per year for a term of 99 years, so long as the conditions of

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council Members
SUBJECT: Informal Analysis of Public Benefits Provided by The University of Utah
Baseball Field Expansion in Exchange for a Below-market Ground Lease of Property
DATE: January 23, 2024
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Salt Lake City (the “City”) owns real property located at approximately 1735 Sunnyside
Avenue, Salt Lake City, consisting of approximately 27.5 acres and designated as Sunnyside
Park (the “City Property”). The University of Utah (the “University”)owns the property
adjacent to the City Property to the northwest on Guardsman Way where its practice baseball
field is located. The University is designing a new ballpark to serve the University’s baseball
program and meet the practice and competition needs of the program by expanding the ballpark
outfield (the “Project”). The redesign is necessitated by the loss of access to Smith’s Ballpark,
which has been the historic home for University of Utah Baseball. The new ballpark must also
meet the National Collegiate Athletics Association requirements for a competition field, which
would result in the design incorporating several less desirable elements due to the existing site
constraints, including a 35-foot wall between the ballfield and the western boundary of
Sunnyside Park and no setback from Guardsman Way.
To mitigate the less desirable design elements on the site, the University has requested, and the
City administration desires, to ground lease a portion of the City Property to the University to
expand the outfield of the baseball field, in the approximate amount of 1.175 acres (the “Leased
Area”), depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto. Attached as Exhibit B are (1) a depiction of the
current Sunnyside Park layout, and (2) the University’s conceptual plan for the rebuild baseball
field and Sunnyside Park amenities (the “University Concept Plan”). The lease would impact an
existing softball field and a multi-purpose field at Sunnyside Park. However, the expanded
ballfield could provide certain benefits to the public and users of Sunnyside Park, including field
use and access to additional amenities. In addition, granting a ground lease would allow the
ballpark to have a reasonable non-buildable setback from Guardsman Way and would eliminate
the need for the 35-foot wall between the ballfield and the western boundary of Sunnyside Park.
LEGAL FRAMEWORK
Under Utah law, after first holding a public hearing, a municipality may “authorize municipal
services or other nonmonetary assistance to be provided to a nonprofit entity, whether or not the
municipality receives consideration in return.” Utah Code §10-8-2(1)(a)(v). Because the
University is a nonprofit entity, the City may waive the fair-market rental rates it would
ordinarily be required to receive for use of the City Property so long as the municipal legislative
body first holds a public hearing regarding the waiver and authorizes the Administration to enter
into the ground lease at the below-market lease rate.
2
Utah Code §10-8-2(3) outlines the purposes for which a municipal body may appropriate funds
as “for any purpose that, in the judgment of the municipal legislative body, provides for the
safety, health, prosperity, moral well-being, peace, order, comfort, or convenience of the
inhabitants of the municipality.” The factors that must be considered in determining the propriety
of such an appropriation or waiver if made to any type of entity or individual other than a
nonprofit entity are set forth under Utah Code §10-8-2(3)(e). Here, it may be helpful to consider
the same factors:
(1) The specific benefits (including intangible benefits) to be received by the City in
return for the arrangement;
(2) The City’s purpose in making the appropriation, including an analysis of how the
safety, health, prosperity, moral well-being, peace, order, comfort, or convenience of the
residents of Salt Lake City will be enhanced; and
(3) Whether the appropriation is “necessary and appropriate” to accomplish the
reasonable goals and objectives of the City in the area of economic development, job
creation, affordable housing, blight elimination, resource center development, job
preservation, the preservation of historic structures and property, and any other public
purpose (emphasis added).
TERMS OF THE GROUND LEASE AND PUBLIC BENEFITS PROVIDED
I. Terms of Ground Lease; Costs to the City
Under the proposed ground lease between the City and the University, the City will maintain
ownership of the Leased Area. The ground lease will be structured to require a $1.00 per year
payment over the 99-year lease term. The ground lease will require that the Leased Area be used
solely for recreational and baseball field purposes, with defined access to the public. The 2023
lease value of the City Property is approximately $0.68/square foot, based on the assessed value.
The assessed fair market value of the Leased Area is $434,279.
Impacts to the City include the loss of 1.175 acres of Sunnyside Park. Granting the lease will
result in the removal of one existing softball field and one existing multi-use/lacrosse field.
However, the net result could be the loss of two softball fields at Sunnyside Park which could be
replaced by different park amenities such a multiple multi-use fields and other amenities,
depending on the reconfiguration of the fields and amenities selected through a community
engagement process. One potential reconfiguration and additional amenities is shown on the
University Concept Plan.
II. Public Benefits Provided by the Project.
The Project will provide certain benefits to the City and promotes the City’s reasonable goals
and objectives set forth in the SLC Public Lands Master Plan, “Reimagine Nature,” adopted
June 7, 2022 (the “Master Plan”).
In exchange for the ground lease of the Leased Area, the University has offered to commit
$4.2 million to be used by the City for replacement of impacted park land and amenities and
3
enhanced improvements at Sunnyside Park. In addition to the $4.2 million, park impact fees may
be available for additional amenities.
The final type of amenities would be determined through a community engagement process. The
University Concept Plan illustrates some possible amenities that could be constructed:
1. Increasing the number of multi-use sports fields. The City could increase the
number of multi-use sports fields from four fields to five fields (two would be
new) and an option to program the outfield of the collegiate field as a possible
sixth multi-use field.
2. Providing two new multi-use fields. The two newly constructed multi-use fields
could be programmed for 130 days per year with an average of 500
participants/per week playing 28 weeks equates to 13,000 user visits/per year.
3. Three Pickleball Courts. Pickleball use has continued to rapidly increase
throughout Salt Lake City. For the past two years there has been a constituent
Capital Improvement Project (“CIP”) request to add pickleball courts at
Sunnyside Park.
4. Walking path that would increase the perimeter path up to 1.7 miles from 0.8
miles.
5. Additional parking areas.
Public Lands also recommends that the ground lease be contingent on securing an agreement
with the University that provides for the following benefits to the City’s reasonable satisfaction:
1. Allowing the City to program the multi-use field within the stadium during non-collegiate
use.
2. City/public access to a portion of the 1.175 acres for public use during non-collegiate
activities. This area would include the proposed berm behind the baseball field and other
landscape features.
3. City/public access to amenities such as bathrooms and concessions maintained by the
University and located inside of the ballpark for community use.
Upon approval of the lease terms, the Administration will negotiate a ground lease with the
University that will require these benefits and conditions as well as those required by Council. If
the Leased Area ever ceases to be used for the permitted purpose or the University does not
provide the required benefits or meet the required conditions, the City will be able to terminate
the ground lease.
III. Salt Lake City’s Purposes and Enhancing the Quality of Life for Residents.
The National Recreation and Park Association has studied the impact of parks and recreational
areas on the economy, health, and wellness. It found that physical activity, access to green
spaces, and services and programming that promote better health outcomes lead to less reliance
on medication, fewer trips to the hospital, and lower healthcare costs. There is significant
research that connects parks with positive mental health, resulting from both increased physical
4
activity and being near green space. This may include reductions in stress levels and antisocial
behaviors. Parks can promote social cohesion, which is associated with reduced levels of
depression, stress, and cardiovascular issues. Parks can also improve air quality, help
communities adapt to changes in the climate (including providing shade in areas seeing increased
heating), and provide support to disaster planning and social resilience.
The Project may effectively expand the size of Sunnyside Park if the University allows public
access onto portions of the University property for recreational purposes. Allowing the
installation of a 35-foot wall would negatively impact the City Property by obstructing lines of
sight that provide natural surveillance, impacting park safety. In addition, the University’s
commitment to enhance the amenities at Sunnyside Park increases its usefulness to the public
and provides additional recreation facilities. The additional open space and amenities have a
positive effect on the community’s physical and mental health.
IV. Accomplishing Salt Lake City’s Goals.
The Master Plan has five main goals of what the Public Lands Department is aiming to achieve
over the next 10-20 years: (1) Sustain: Environmental Health and Sustainability; (2) Connect:
Accessible and Connected Green Spaces; (3) Welcome: Active, Authentic and Inclusive Places;
(4) Protect: A Commitment to Stewardship; and (5) Grow: Expand our Public Lands System.
Support of the Project with the ground lease accomplishes several of the City’s goals and
priorities.
(3) Welcome: Active, Authentic and Inclusive Places. Ideal parks are actively used
by the community, inclusive for all ages, abilities and cultures and strive to be authentic, or
reflective of the neighborhood and community’s culture. The Public Lands Department, in
alignment with the Mayor’s 2021 citywide vision, is committed to looking at top-down and
bottom-up community driven solutions to welcoming more people. Expanding the fields and
amenities in Sunnyside Park will allow the City to welcome more people and supports active
programming that brings people out to their parks for art, events, programs, recreation, and
community.
(4) Protect: A Commitment to Stewardship. The Public Lands Department leads the
stewardship and care of urban green spaces and seeks out opportunities to partner with advocacy
groups and schools to educate on how the public can be stewards of the land. Partnering with the
University achieves this goal by leveraging resources to make the public space more usable for
both the public and the University while preserving the open space and use of Sunnyside Park.
(5) Grow: Expand our Public Lands System. Sunnyside Park could effectively be
expanded to meet the goal of increasing the size and access of the City park space. In a fully
developed area, it is challenging to increase recreational opportunities as the population grows.
The use of the ballpark property will help grow the City’s park system and will provide
additional recreational use to the community. Partnering with the University will improve the
quality of the amenities offered at Sunnyside Park. In addition, with funds to build new softball
fields and a parking lot at the RAC, the Public Lands system will be expanded by up to 7 acres.
5
CONCLUSION
The development of the Project by the University incorporating the Leased Area will be a benefit
to residents of the City as outlined and conditioned in this memo. Providing a below-market
ground lease for the Parcel is an appropriate use of City resources to achieve the City’s goals and
enhancing the safety, health, prosperity, moral well-being, peace, order, comfort, or convenience
of the residents of Salt Lake City.

1/19/2024 14:29 Alice Rathofer Speed Bumps on 1300 South Between Foothill
Drive and 1700 East
Who had the bright idea to make the speed bumps uneven on this section of 1300 South? This is redicloius to
have uneven bumps and with a recommended speed of 20 MPH. That speed is too fast for those bumps even
in a lifted off-road capable SUV. I cannot think of any reason to make these speed bumps the way they were
made. It is not safe and not good for any vehicle. Are you all unaware that going over bumps you need to
either go over straight on and keep the vehicle even or you stop and go over as if you are driving over steps
one wheel at a time. Either Fix these speed bumps or remove them!
1/19/2024 15:53 Anonymous Constituent Scooters Rider Hello, I'd to see how SLC starts handling these scooters, where there's no helmet, no license, they act like a car,
you know? because they think they are electric, They do not have to have a license. They do not have to wear a
helmet they think they are a car and they don't stay on the bike lane. I would like to see what Council Members
will do anything about this just to protect the rest of us. When you're driving and going to Twilight and you
have somebody driving in the car lane, acting like a car and they are not because they are scooters without the
license plate that's just a dangerous hazard for all of us who using the road. please put them in place because
this is just causing the problems

Fairpark? In the past the city has been able to disrupt the open air drug markets and this particular location has
persisted since at least early August. I'm wondering at what point does the city and public lands consider
declaring an emergency closure of that section of the trail similar to what was done at Madsen park since the
police operations do not seem to be able to disrupt this ongoing problem area? This particular location is very
secluded and creates a number of safety issues which the city is obligated to address. We should have some
sort of dignity in using a community amenity and from talking with a lot other members of the community no
one feels safe to go to this section of the trail. Thank you, David Osokow
1/22/2024 10:01 Katie Normandin Potholes Hello, I just moved into downtown SLC a few months ago and I can't tell you how messed up my tires are from
these downtown streets. As someone who has lived in multiple states around the country for work, I have
never in my life seen so many potholes in my life. Every single street/corner/intersection has MASSIVE potholes
and I can only imagine how many people need to get new tires because of this. My question is are you guys
doing anything about that? And if I get a flat tire because of these streets, do you compensate? I can't imagine
I'm the only one who has inquired about this. But I don't have $400 to fix a tire every time I drive to work.

1/24/2024 9:24 Thomas Weed 1/2 Bluegrass and climate science Dear Mr Dugan, I was happy to join in the celebration of yours and Mayor Mendenhall’s reelection at the
January 2nd Inauguration Ceremony. Congratulations! I am grateful for all you do for our city. And I
appreciated your remarks reflecting balanced and wise perspectives on Salt Lake City moving forward. If you’ll
permit me, I thought to offer a brief comment—relative to accurate climate science and current
circumstance—on the “Kentucky bluegrass” condemnation. Our current drought situation (including the
disappearing Great Salt Lake) is quite paradoxical, given that the unprecedented melting of polar ice means
that there has perhaps never been so much of Earth’s water in liquid and vapor form, ready to precipitate as
rains and to fill our aquifers. Indeed, more rain may be falling from the skies above Utah than at any time in
our history. The problem is that much—perhaps most—of the rain evaporates before hitting the ground, a
phenomenon called virga (as I’m sure you know.) Driving this virga phenomenon is excessive heat radiating
from the ground below. The underlying problem in drought, then, (certainly our drought, and perhaps all
droughts) is not one of too little water. The problem in drought is that there’s too much heat. Measurements
taken overhead and on the ground confirm that Salt Lake City now radiates more surface heat than ever
before, as was recently reviewed at an excellent presentation by local researchers, including Salt Lake City
climate scientists at the Utah Museum of Natural History. It may be that few observers of climate would
recommend Kentucky bluegrass as a mainstay of water-wise landscaping. But in fact, on a sunny summer day, a
surface of mixed planting and turf is 30-50 (F) degrees cooler than a paved surface (something pretty noticable
to anyone attempting to walk barefoot or even just cover a block or two on one of our city’s sidewalks.) The
bottom line is that pavement, not bluegrass, is the culprit. And the same satellites that note our extreme
heating also calculate that Salt Lake City is one of the most over-paved cities in America. Unfortunately, we
now are witnessing many instances where turf and planted areas are being converted to pavement. One the
drivers of this is the mistaken belief is that pavement conserves water while plants consume it. Nothing could
be further from the truth. Heat radiation from pavement both promotes virga and hastens drying, at a far
greater cost of surface water than impermeable pavement “saves" by covering the ground beneath. This occurs
at every scale, whether obliterating acres of plants in favor of large expanses of pavement or simply widening
the driveway of a suburban home.
1/24/2024 9:24 Thomas Weed 2/2 CONTINUED!! Bluegrass and climate science Some climate-wise municipalities are starting to substantially restrict installation of any amount of new
pavement and even encourage removal of pavement to permit re-vegetation. A simple and basic
recommendation of climate science is that the most beneficial thing anyone with any sized property can do to
benefit water conservation is to make sure that as much as that property as possible is covered by plants.
Impermeable surface pavement actually causes a loss of water greater than the amount of “loss” caused when
water is used to maintain the same area as planted surface. While the people of Salt Lake City seem to be
strangely comforted by pavement, nothing that doesn’t involve combustion is more damaging to the climate. A
current, unfortunate example of this is the Central 9th neighborhood, where five lanes of new pavement have
made those streets virtually unvisitable—and substantially unwalkable—during summer daylight hours. My
appeal to you, then, is that perhaps it would be beneficial to go a little easier on Kentucky bluegrass and
instead point out that pavement is a far, far more destructive presence in our urban climate. If more pavement
had the potential to save our city and our lake, we could just keep doing what we're doing and kick back. Thank
you for your consideration. Sincerely, Thomas Weed

re: U baseball stadium
Mayor Mendenhall: One correction to my previous email. The city owns Smith’s Ballpark and the LHM
Company has a lease agreement. This certainly affects the dynamics of the situation but it may give the city
more leverage to explore creative ways to address these baseball-related impacts on two neighborhood
communities. Jan......................................................... On Jan 24, 2024, at 5:34 PM, Jan Hemming wrote: Dear
Mayor Mendenhall: The Yalecrest Neighborhood Council is appreciative of your emphasis on public parks and
their place and necessity in the fabric of a healthy city. We commend you for your vision to promote and win
approval for the $85 million GO bond that will fund new parks and rehabilitate older ones. We are especially
appreciative of your firm stance — on at least three previous occasions — to decline requests from the
University of Utah to lease, sell, gift or transfer land in Sunnyside Park to the U for their use as part of a new,
proposed collegiate baseball stadium. However, it has come to our attention that the University of Utah will
pay the city $4.2 million to lease a sizable portion of Sunnyside Park property for a new baseball stadium. We
understand the land deal is imminent. If approved, the public will lose precious open space in the park — a
major existing baseball field, a lacrosse field, mature trees and portions of an existing soccer field. When not in
use by athletic teams, these spaces are popular places for dog walkers, runners, casual park visitors, informal
sporting organizations, and all who cherish our diminishing green spaces on the East Side. We vehemently
oppose this land transaction. • It contradicts the intent and spirit of the East Bench Master Plan. • It ignores
community and public opinion. • It breaks a promise the U gave the Yalecrest Neighborhood Council in 2018
that it would never build a baseball stadium on the baseball practice field property. • It dismisses the reality of
thousands of students who will occupy new housing units along Sunnyside Avenue (some built; some under
construction) with pent-up needs to use Open Space in Sunnyside Park. • It dismisses the fact that the
proposed collegiate baseball stadium doesn’t fit the small practice field and should never be located there. The
alternative to this land transaction is a monster 35-40 foot wall in left field which we’ve heard that even Layton
Construction company thinks is ill-advised from an engineering standpoint.

1/26/2024 9:32 Jan Hemming 2/2 CONTINUED!! Meeting with Yalecrest
Neighborhood Council re: U baseball stadium
• It violates Salt Lake City Code 21A that relates to Open Spaces, specifically, 2.90.070 (Removal of lands from
Open Space inventory) which requires the mayor to “explain why the proposed sale or transfer is in the best
interests of the city” in writing; “hold a public hearing before the mayor and the City Council;” "provide
adequate public notice of the proposed sale or transfer;” provide a myriad of public notifications through
mailers to nearby property owners, published declarations, and public signs;” and prevents the sale or transfer
of public lands prior to the six month period following a public hearing. We respectively ask the city to adhere
to its own laws governing open space transactions. We also respectfully ask the city to postpone any deal with
the university until: 1. Immediate disclosure of the proposed land deal — in the spirit of government
transparency. 2. A meeting with the city, impacted neighborhood councils and interested community residents.
3. A transparent public engagement process. 4. Compliance with all city codes pertaining to the sale or transfer
of public Open Space land, which includes a public hearing and a six month waiting period. With recent news
that the Oakland As is interested in using the new professional baseball stadium in Daybreak under
construction by the Larry H. Miller Company — which owns Smith's Ballpark where the U has played baseball
for years — it seems prudent to pump the brakes on any imminent transaction. This could lead to the Salt Lake
Bees and University of Utah having use of Smith’s Ballpark for three more years — and give the U additional
time to find a more suitable location. In other words, a win-win. This is a time sensitive and urgent matter.
Please let us know when you would be able to meet with us along with several concerned community councils

1/29/2024 9:36 Rebecca Biggs Tier B Baseball Fields Hi Dan, I’m writing to seek your support of reducing fees to rent our Tier B baseball fields from Salt Lake City
Parks and Recreation department. Our local rec league, Forthill Baseball, is helping to raise awareness about
this issue. I am a parent of four boys, all of whom have enjoyed playing in our local league for many years. I felt
like I’ve raised my kids on those baseball diamonds. We love gathering with members of the community and
our neighbors to help our kids learn about teamwork and enjoy playing the game. If you haven’t been recently,
its worth a visit - it offers everything a neighborhood rec league has to offer - wooden bleachers in the shade,
an announcer booth run by 6th graders that announce the line up (usually older siblings of the players or kids
of the coaches), and a snack shack where you can buy microwave popcorn for $1.50 - a wonderful timesaver if
you are there with little ones for a long game. Unfortunately we have seen a sharp decline in registration in
recent years as we’ve lost out players to other leagues who offer lower fees or better amenities. Part of what
makes our neighboorhood great is being able to offer wholesome recreation, like the baseball diamonds. I was
discouraged to hear that not only do our rates increase every year but that none of the rental money we pay
goes toward improving the fields, as is the standard in other counties. Taylorsville, for example, rents 5 fields in
an updated complex and pays less than $7,500 per year. The county provides them with marking chalk and
other items that we usually pay for. Other leagues that rent county fields are paying a similar amount and the
county does most of their field maintenance and marking. Some background on the current situation… in 2015
the rate was $2 per hour. In 2020 that rate jumped to $8 per hour. In 2023 the rate leaped to $16 per hour and
in 2024 it is now $17 per hour. At $17 per hour it will cost our league over $22,000 to rent our 4 baseball fields
for spring and fall. As these rates have gone up the conditions of our baseball fields and buildings have
deteriorated. None of this money has been used to improve our fields. Our league has used our own funds to
make the fields at Oak Hills what they are today. The other 3 leagues that operate in the city pay a similar rate
and their fields are in the same situation. Together we pay the city almost $90,000 to rent baseball fields. Our
(FYBA) average cost per kid based on 300 participants is $68 per kid just for field rentals. While I am aware that
the league is considering how to reduce fees for players, I am concerned with why the city makes a such a large
profit from local youth baseball non profit organizations without substantial field upkeep or consideration of
community value when making annual rate increases without community input and why we can’t reduce the
rental fee. These fees are creating inequality in our communities by putting youth baseball out of reach for the
average middle class family. Families are being priced out of the sport we feel the field fees are a big part of
this problem. And the field maintenance burden should be shared by the city for the fees we’re paying. If our
local league crumbles, what will happen to these fields if they are abandoned? Please consider reducing the
rent on Tier B baseball fields in our district at the upcoming Feb. 1st meeting. Sincerely, Rebecca Biggs
1/29/2024 11:12 John Nelson Petition PLNPCM2023-00403 Council members: I live at REDACTED in SLC and I don’t support rezoning of properties at ~357 E 500 S, 464-
466S 400E and 460-462 S 400 E. as requested by Zachary Jones of Cowboy Partners on behalf of the property
owners. This rezoning would allow for increased building height that would negatively impact surrounding
properties. The recent building of a large apartment complex on the corner of 500 S and 400 E reduced the
views surrounding property owners enjoyed and adversely impacts future property value. We have endured
over two years of construction noise, roadway impacts and other disturbances since that project began. The
petitioner did not include any proposed plans for those above mentioned properties, so it would not be
prudent to approve the rezoning without knowing what is planned. Once those plans are published that would
be the time to hold hearings and seek input from current property owners and affected tax payers. I don’t
support rezoning without a submitted building plan. A rezoning decision should take place only after plans are
submitted that require rezoning so that the project can be considered in its totality. Thank you. John Nelson

1/30/2024 11:21 Terry Marasco Westside Developments Folks, I am concerned that the opportunity for vendors at the various developments, including the Power
Development, will sway hugely toward chains. Property owners first look at a vendor’s ability to pay and always
seek to minimize risk. They then look at past profitability and longevity, and whether or not the business plan is
sound. I recommend when in discussions with the LMG and the Power Development they give westside
vendors right of first refusal on opportunities and some form of favored rent and lease terms (operating
expenses, length). Additionally, whether chains or small businesses, the hiring needs to be first solicited from
westside citizens. This may be a hard sell, but you must take them at their word regarding their commitment to
the westside. Best, Terry Marasco
1/30/2024 11:26 Terry Marasco Recycling at New Developments . All, there is a need for a revised ordinance regarding recycling at apartments. With thousands of new units
coming online, we need to get responsible and effective about recycling. My example: the building in which I
rent is three years old without recycling. The former manager claimed they were working on it. It never
happened. The new manager did not know of the existing ordinance; apparently the leasing contractor nor the
property owner informed the new manager. The valet service is disposing of recycling into the landfill; I have
contacted the valet service; they claim their hands are tied. Revise the ordinance as follows: 1. Must have a
recycling dumpster/facility before opening its doors for business; 2. The business cannot open until the first
criteria is met; 3. Penalties ($$$) for not circumventing the responsibility. 4. Delay any new construction by the
same developer if one of their properties is in default. I have spoken with both Debbie Lyons and Chris Bell
about this. Best, Terry Marasco

1/31/2024 10:25 Grady Tibboel Concern over pause of RDA loan to The Front Dear Mr. Walz, I read with dissappointment recently that the RDA had suspended its loan to The Front
climbing gym. The Front is, of course, a business, but it also is central to developing climbing as a sport in the
Salt Lake area. It supports one of SLC's two biggest USA Climbing teams (114 youth athletes), hosts events that
bring top international talent to Salt Lake, and in recent years has hosted International Federation of Sport
Climbing (IFSC) paraclimbing events. The gym is central not only to the regional climbing community (to include
other local businesses that market to climbers), but also to bringing positive attention for SLC to a world-wide
audience of climbing enthusiasts. Those outcomes are real, and current -- but now limited by a paused loan,
with lack of transparency about the pause to even the loan recipient. From the perspective of the RDA mission,
". . . to improve livability, create economic opportunity, and foster authentic, equitable communities . . .", The
Front absolutely provides benefits in those veins. The year-round fitness and exercise opportunities, in a highly
supportive and social environment, provide many benefits to include strong connections within a very
welcoming community. I personally benefit from that environment and know many others who do. Further, my
son benefits as a member of the youth team. He has amazing coaches and world-class facilities, in which he has
grown tremendously -- physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. Sport climbing has been growing as a
youth sport. The Front's expansion, with dedicated space for the youth team, state of the art Olympic style
climbing training, and specialized training equipment, will provide opportunities for Salt Lake City youth teams
to grow and enhance the team's experience and potential. Those benefits extend beyond our own youth team.
With local teams often doing "trade days," many other young Salt Lake area climbers will benefit. Further, with
young climbers and their families travelling from other counties and even other states to participate in special
training events, these facilities also bring economic benefit. The Front also support a strong program of
paraclimbing -- coached climbing for people with a variety of disabilities -- and this portion of our community
will also benefit from the new facilities. These facilities are not just about climbing; they are about nurturing
resilience, teamwork, and a commitment to personal excellence. The Front’s expansion is not merely an
upgrade of facilities; it is an investment in the future of our athletes and community. It was on track to be
completed within a year, but with the RDA's recent actions, it has been put indefinitely on hold. Salt Lake's
sizeable climbing community stands to lose out on a great benefit.
1/31/2024 10:25 Grady Tibboel 2/2 CONTINUED! Concern over pause of RDA loan to
The Front
In addition to belonging to the Front, I am also a USA Climbing (USAC) member, frequent volunteer, and
stakeholder as the parent of a USAC athlete. That organization has given its own membership no transparency
into its plans to open a commercial gym. While my issue there is with USAC, not with the SLC RDA, it is worth
noting that USAC is likely to face opposition from its own membership, from across the U.S., as details become
known about the overall scope of the project. It begs the question: how far will the RDA go to support a project
with a partner that doesn't have most of its own stakeholders on board? I respectfully call upon the RDA to
reinstate the loan for The Front's expansion. I believe that the facility expansion will have a tangeable benefit
for the development of many young athletes, and for Salt Lake's broader climbing community, for decades to
come. That benefit comes not just from having a building and climbing walls, but from The Front's unique
ability to combine the facilities with top notch coaching in a very supportive environment. Sincerely, Grady
Tibboel

1/31/2024 12:33 Robert Bain Building proposal Dear city council member, I am a resident of sugarhouse -I live on REDACTED near the Post office. I am taking
the time to write to you to express my concern with regards to the proposed building of the high Rise at the
Wells Fargo site on 2100 S. I just have to ask, Do you support or oppose the building of the high rise at the
Wells Fargo site? I ask because I am surprised that you all the City Council has not struck this project down by
now. I mean, we are still talking about it and now we have to talk about it at Highland highschool. I have
listened to other meetings and read articles and forums on this issue and it is overwhelmingly opposed by the
community and I presume the same thing will happen at the highland meeting. To me it seems like an absurd
proposal despite the money or benefit -if there really is any- it may bring to the community. I mean is there a
silent majority that supports this project? What percentage of comments have you received in support vs
opposed? Do we still have to talk about this? What is there really to talk about? I would like to know your
position on this issue at this time. In addition, I'd like to know the position of the City council in general if you
can speak to this. And finally, I'd ask that you oppose this project. Thank you for your time and consideration,

2/2/2024 11:45 Callie Blaylock Homelessness Hello Dan Dugan, I am Callie Blaylock and I live on REDACTED, Distract 6. My issue about our Salt Lake
Community is the homelessness. Homelessness Is really hard during the winter month especially for living in
the Utah snow. My concerns about homelessness is how little shelters that are provided to them. I did some
research and found that the Salt Lake City Council is creating a Temporary Shelter Community (TSC) that will be
able to hold up to 50 people for six-months with all the essentials provided. However, my issue with this is that
50 people is not a lot. Holding them for six-months is also a great amount of time but will be hard for those
who are stuck on the streets to get a space/spot within these shelters. I was wondering if the city council and
you will have any other shelters that will soon open in different locations. Sincerely, Callie Blaylock

at Sunny side Park. I understand there is a public hearing about this February 6. I would like to propose the city
ask the University of Utah to create a Youth Baseball Fund to benefit the recreational baseball leagues in our
city to improve our youth baseball park's and infrastructure. I also feel if the city can lease this ground for 1$
per year to a billion dollar University they surely can lower our rental fees as non profit organizations. Is there a
way for me to speak to Dan prior to this meeting to layout a framework for this request? Best, August Wachter

2/2/2024 13:48 Elaine Toronto Please no skyscraper in sugarhouse!!/D6 Dear Dan, I have lived in Salt Lake City near Sugar House, my entire life and I have watched it go through many
many changes and most have been very good. For example, changing keds Shoes/Keith O’Brien‘s, an old shoe
store and clothing store into Barnes & Noble was a great change; putting in the Commons was a great change.
but what’s recently been happening with all of these apartments and the skyscraper planning is not a great
change. It’s making it so that you can’t drive through Sugar House I don’t wanna go down to Sugar House. I
actually am thinking of relocating outside of Salt Lake City because I don’t like how most of the planning is
going in the city right now -or lack of planning for certain other issues. I don’t see any reason to make
sugarhouse into a big city - there’s not enough room for the development, and it’s losing its charm with every
giant apartment building. Anyway, my voice may matter or it may not, but I will still most likely move away if
the development continues at this crowding pace. Thank you for the good work you do on behalf of those of us
in Salt Lake City and I hope you think about what the people are saying more than you think about what the
developers want to do. Elaine Toronto
2/2/2024 15:04 Chris Storbeck Sunnyside Baseball Field I've reviewed the benefit analysis for the proposed expansion of the baseball field and find it both incomplete
and biased. The negative aspects of increased traffic on Guardsman Way and inadequate parking are not
addressed at all. The analysis cites the disruption of a sight line as a negative against erecting the wall.
However, the obstructed line of sight is not in a location that would affect anyone, as it exists between the
solar collection field and the baseball field, away from any other public space. Also, the analysis' proposed
benefits essentially make the Sunnyside Park greenspace more congested, or eliminate greespace to add
additional parking. Parking at the Salt Lake County Sports Complex is already compromised by University
football and hockey games. It will be negatively impacted further by field offices and baseball games. In
general, I think the Council is going through the legal motions to approve a motion that caters to the University
over the objections of area residents. With additional expansion in the area, like the Sunnyside Apartments and
the proposed Roland Hall High School, a bad situation will only become worse. The quality of life in adjoining
neighborhoods is deteriorating due to congestion from land development. The University has other sites for
their facility and they should use one. The "benefits" cited in the analysis do NOT offset the costs. The Council
should oppose the land lease. If the Council opposes the lease, the University will, in all likelihood, build their
NCAA compliant field at a different location.

PLNPCM2023-00961 Rezoning Proposals -
Attached Public Comments |D2
Hello Councilmember Puy, I hope this email finds you well. My name is Adrienne White and I am a resident of
District 7. My dad is also from Argentina - born in Córdoba - and I have hopes of visiting for the first time in the
next year or two. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the rezoning proposals PLNPCM2023-00960 &
PLNPCM2023-00961 submitted by Harbor Bay Ventures. As you may be aware, Harbor Bay Ventures, a
company based in Chicago, recently acquired the parcel of land where Wells Fargo currently stands at the
corner of 2100 South and 1100 East. I am an active member of the Sugar House Community Council's Board of
Trustees, representing the Westminster neighborhood, which includes this aforementioned parcel.
Additionally, I also serve on the council's Land Use and Zoning committee. I have taken the time to carefully
outline my concerns and opposition to these proposals in my public comments, which are attached to this
email. I believe it is crucial for our community's voice to be heard on this matter, and I appreciate your
attention to the potential impact these rezoning changes may have. If you have any questions or would like to
discuss my perspective further, I am more than willing to make myself available at your convenience. I believe
open dialogue is essential in addressing the concerns and aspirations of our community. Thank you for your

2/5/2024 12:57 Chris Storbeck Sunnyside Ballpark . Hi Dan, Thank you for sending the information to Jeri regarding the proposals for the ballpark. The
information provided by the city in support of leasing additional area to the University is biased and
incomplete. While it is legal to lease the land at below market rates, the justification that a facility will
somehow be beneficial to the community is largely nonsense. The University may say that restrooms and the
field itself will be available for use by the public, but such "public use" either never materializes, is
extraordinarily limited, or other similar park property is more accessible. The restricted line of sight argument,
while factually correct, is misleading. I've never seen a law enforcement officer or other individual surveying
the park area from the solar collection fields or the rooftop of a building along Guardsman Way. In other
words, the view obstructed by a wall isn't being used by anyone. While praising the health benefits of
greenspace, the city wishes to reduce the public greenspace and make what's left more congested by adding
parking spaces, pickleball courts, or other limited use parcels. Additionally, the lack of parking for games and
the traffic congestion associated with them isn't addressed in the public benefits analysis at all - surely because
it is entirely negative. It is my strongly held opinion that this proposed baseball field is not a benefit to the area
residents at all. While some upgrades to the existing park facilities will occur, the cost in terms of additional
park congestion, loss of open space, and additional traffic are not offset by the improvements. While the city
can't prevent the University from making changes to structures on University property, in all likelihood the
University will find another site for their competitive field if the land is not leased. They simply won't have
room for the offices, stands, and other amenities they wish to add. I would ask that you oppose leasing land to
the University for expansion of the baseball facility, regardless of revenue. This area is already under stress
from development like the Sunnyside apartments, and proposed facilities like Roland Hall High School. Salt
Lake City has a responsibility to make the city a better place to live, not a more congested space that benefits
institutional interests. Thanks, Chris Storbeck PS - I recognize that you only have one vote on this issue. But, I
applaud you for voting in the interests of your constituents, as you've done in the past.

Rezone
Dear Council members: Regarding PLNPCM2023-00403 500 South & 400 East Rezone, I have the following
comments. I am Rachel Quist and one of my interests is preserving the historic built environment and
archaeological resources contained within the city. You may find some of my research and writing on my
Instagram at @rachels_slc_history or slchistory.org. I own a historic home within the Central City Historic
District. My single concern with this rezoning proposal is the fate of the historic apartment building (office
conversion) at 460-462 S 400 East. It was built around 1905 and served several incarnations as housing,
including a women's boarding house. More and more of the historic parts of the Central City neighborhood are
being demolished. And zoning often drives demolition or preservation in areas not included in the H-overlay.
Understanding why certain areas are local historic districts (and thus subject to the H-overlay) and why other
areas are not is an important aspect of making decisions that affect the future of the Central City
neighborhood. When the Historic Districts were originally established, the focus was on pretty architecture,
which generally are associated with wealthy White males (there are exceptions). This area of Central City (Main
St to about 500 East, 400 S to 900 S) and many other parts of the city, were not included in local historic
districts because they lack those pretty mansions. This is because this area of Central City is within the redlined
areas of SLC - meaning those areas where people of color were *allowed* to live and included all types of
lower-income individuals. Consequently, historic districts have systemically underrepresented non-White and
non-wealthy individuals. This building has persisted for nearly 120 years and has been occupied and
maintained, including a renovation by preservation-minded Capitol Hill Construction in 2011. A similar building
has already been demolished at 435-437 S 400 East. One by one these smaller historic apartment buildings are
being lost. This is unfortunate because these apartment buildings from the early 1900s are associated with
women's independent living and the development of professional careers. I don't know the solution to this
particular rezone. Is there a way to keep this historic building and allow the other newer buildings of this
proposal to be demolished? Can the building be adaptively reused as part of the new development? I ask that
when making your decisions please keep in mind that zoning changes to higher density often mean the loss of
existing historic buildings. And keep in mind, that the greenest and most environmentally sustainable building
is the one that is already built. I hate seeing these old buildings end up in the trash. thank you Rachel Quist SLC

2/6/2024 12:42 Allen Sanderson Landscaping & Buffers Chapter Amendments To the Salt Lake City Council, I have been long been involved with the ordinances regarding park strips. Going
back nearly 25 years. With the each revision they improve. However what has not improved, in fact has
become worse for property owners who take the time to xeriscape their park strips is the damage done by
utilities working in the park strips. In the past five years I have had my park strip trashed not once, but twice by
the utilities. The first fiasco was Google Fiber. The second fiasco was by Lumen via Osmose. In both instances,
the utilities working in the park strip had zero regard to the plants or decorative rock work that I spent
considerable time installing, watering and maintaining. I will not go into details other than state the following:
While the City states property owners are to be made whole, we are not. That is because to be made whole,
property owners must spend many many hours hounding the City and the utilities to restore their park strip. At
this point, I have lost count of the number of hours I have spent. Property owner are NOT reimbursed for this
time. My time is valuable. Under the current City process, not all utilities are required to have a permit or
notify the City for work in the park strips. As such, damage can be done and the City will have no one to hold
responsible. The property owner is left to repair the damage. Further, the utilities are not competent to repair
the damage. As such, property owners have to repair the work often spending addition monies to make it
right. This issue is the fault of City. That is because the City has no process, procedures, or best practices
regarding such work. The City and the utilities are still in grass mode. Over the past two years I have tried to
engage the City on this issue. I have met with the Director of Public Services, I have proposed ideas in writing, I
have volunteered to be on a working group. The response, crickets. As such, if the City wishes to continue to
encourage property owners to xeriscape then the City needs to fully stand behind property owners who invest
their time and money. Given the proposed changes in the ordinances, the tree in my park strip would be
sufficient. As such, the next time my park strip is trashed my plan is to remove every thing and leave it bare. I
do not think the City wants that. Thank you, Allen Sanderson

2/6/2024 13:42 Jan Hemming More negative issues related to the University
stadium land deal
Council Members: As you receive a briefing today about the U-SLC baseball stadium land deal, Yalecrest
residents have asked me to raise these issues and concerns with you: 1. Will Sunnyside Park actually receive
all the money from the deal — $4.2 million + the $750,000 allocated from the $85 million GO bond — or will it
go into the General Fund? SLC parks have have so many needs. Might funds be diverted to something else?
For example, Fairmont Park expects to receive $5 million to repair tennis courts and improve facilities
currently used by the Boys and Girls Club. Those upgrades are expected to cost $5 million. The city hopes to
completely remodel Sunnyside Park for the same amount. Is that realistic? 2. Have any engineering studies
been done? There is a significant slope (12 foot grade) between the existing softball field and the U’s practice
field. The U will acquire land 90 feet beyond (east) of the current left field foul pole encroaching on softball
field land. This will intrude onto a sloping hill and require significant grading and even a wall that might be as
high as 20 feet to hold and contain the soil and account for water runoff. Any softball field land that remains
and transitions into a lacrosse/soccer field will require a lot of work. This could be a costly “fix.” 3. 12 feet of
the 35 foot wall would be below grade. Because of the 12 foot slope between the U’s practice field and the
upper softball field this means the U could build a 35 foot wall in left field because 12 feet would be below
grade. 20 feet would be above grade. If the city has to to build a 20 foot retaining wall to contain the land that
remains from the softball field — there is no justifiable reason not to build the 35 foot wall. 4. Climate change
is real. Does anyone remember the two tremendous floods (2017 and 2021) that came roaring down 800
East/Sunnyside flooding East High School and causing enormous damage to the basketball court, other gyms,
the East High baseball field, kitchen, clothing room, computer labs, record rooms, etc.? The cost to fix the East
High basketball court alone — which was brand new — was $2 million. The city spent millions more to fix
everything else. 4. Major water and irrigation issues. Is the Council aware of the substantial cost PL will incur
to relocate a 4” main water line and back-flow valve that will require excavation into Guardsman Way?
Additional costs will involve the relocation of Rainbird Maxicom controller(s), the design and construction of a
new irrigation system, additional sod installation and demolition of the existing fencing and lighting at the
softball field. 5. Twenty beautiful, mature 35 foot tall trees will be lost. While the mayor is promoting planting
new trees on the west side, 20 beautiful, mature trees — that have taken decades to grow — will be destroyed
in Sunnyside Park for the U’s baseball stadium. Jan

Palestinians deserve their freedom and human rights. A ceasefire is the first immediate action and a complete
stop in funds to Israel must happen. I want no money going to this brutal occupation. FREE PALESTINE!
2/6/2024 17:16 Cael Crosby General Comment With the UN general assembly decision to call for an immediate ceasefire, the United States government has a
responsibility to discontinue funding and pressure the Isreali forces occupying Gaza to end this genocide so
humanitarian efforts can be provided to the thousand of displaced and injured Palestinians. This change will
start on the local level. I urge Salt Lake and Utah to draft ceasefire resolutions to where we can ensure that
Israel is held accountable.
2/6/2024 19:39 Sara Woolsey University of Utah Baseball Field As a citizen that respects the impact and benefit that parks have on neighborhoods, I wish to express concern
