Amendment
The Council will consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the boundaries of the
Redevelopment Agency (RDA) North Temple Urban Renewal Project Area. Earlier this
year, the State Legislature passed Utah Code Title 11 Chapter 70 creating the Utah
Fairpark Area Investment and Restoration District. A portion of the district overlaps with
the North Temple Urban Renewal Project Area and the legislation requires the City to
remove the overlapping properties from the North Temple Project Area before 2025. The
amended boundaries spread across four non-contiguous areas would be approximately
half the size of the original project area acreage. The boundary amendment received
separate approval by the RDA Board on October 8, 2024.
