and consider adopting an ordinance that would vacate a City-owned alley between
approximately 2615 South and 2700 South, and between Beverly Street and Chadwick
Streets. If approved, the alley would be divided and given to the property owners that
abut the alley. The applicant has requested the vacation due to various structures and
vegetation in the alley, as well as an overall lack of use. The request is supported by the
Sugar House Master Plan. Located within Council District 7. Petitioner: Taylor Thomas,
owner of 2680 South Chadwick. Petition No.: PLNPCM2024-00973.
