BOX 145518, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5518 TEL 801-535-7240 · FAX 801-535-7245 MAYOR RIN ENDENHALL Executive Director DANNY ALZ Director STAFF MEMO DATE: June 20, 2025 PREPARED BY: Lauren Parisi, Senior Project Manager Makena Hawley, Project Manager RE: Ballpark NEXT Community Design Plan REQUESTED ACTION: No formal action requested at this time RECOMMENDATION: Informational briefing BUDGET IMPACTS: N/A EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In July 2024, the Salt Lake City Community Reinvestment Agency (“CRA”) engaged a consultant team comprised of Perkins+Will, Kimley-Horn, and David Evans and Associates (collectively, the “Consultant”) to create an Urban Design Framework for the future development of Smith’s Ballpark and the city-owned parking lot to the north at approximately 77 W. 1300 South, totaling 14.8 acres (“Ballpark Site” or “Site”). This document will serve as a roadmap for the optimal redevelopment of the Site and provide recommendations regarding urban form and land use, infrastructure needs, transportation improvements and more. Based on community feedback that the term “Urban Design Framework” felt too technical and unclear, the document has been renamed the Ballpark NEXT Community Design Plan (“Design Plan” or “Plan”). The new name reflects its purpose as an administrative guide shaped by community input. To recap, after extensive research and multiple stakeholder meetings, three design scenarios were presented to the CRA Board of Directors (“Board”) for initial feedback and direction. These scenarios contemplated 1) reuse of the existing stadium in its entirety; 2) adaptive reuse of a portion of the stadium; and 3) removal of the stadium. Based on the feedback collected from the Board and community members, Mayor Mendenhall announced the selection of scenario two – to adaptively reuse the southwest wing of the stadium as a flexible sports and entertainment venue – as part of her address to the city on January 29, 2025. Since then, the Consultant has been working to finalize the Design Plan, a draft of which is being brought to the Board for feedback. The public is also encouraged to submit feedback at this time. The document focuses on eight big ideas ranging from the proposal of an iconic entertainment venue as the anchor tenant on the Site to specific urban design elements that acknowledge the ballpark’s legacy. Once completed, staff will move forward with implementation as outlined in the Plan’s phasing strategy – 2 beginning with development of housing on the northwest corner of the Site and taking steps towards the partial reuse of the stadium. ANALYSIS: Vision The Ballpark NEXT Community Design Plan builds off the Vision and Guiding Principles developed as part of the Community Visioning Process that took place between 2023-2024. Community Vision: Guiding Principles: The future Ballpark Site is an iconic, exciting destination for the neighborhood, city, and region. It is a catalyst for the transformation of the neighborhood, attracting people and development that uplifts and and its residents. 1. Neighborhood Safety & Activation / Safety in Every Stride 2. Connectivity / Interwoven 3. Natural Geography / Be Green 4. Wellness / Culture of Health 5. Community Centered / A Space for Every Face 6. Acknowledge the Past / Honor the Neighborhood’s History Ballpark NEXT Community Design Plan The Plan reviews the legendary history of the Ballpark, highlights existing neighborhood assets and provides detailed recommendations regarding the future development of the Site. Eight big ideas or design moves have been developed to implement the Community Vision including: 1. People-First Streets – The community is invited into the site through tree-lined promenades that serve as neighborhood shortcuts, enabling a low-stress, experience-rich way for neighbors and visitors to move through the site. 2. An Iconic Entertainment Venue – The western portion of Smith’s Ballpark has been preserved and revitalized into a new event venue and cultural hub, with affordable commercial spaces for local businesses on the ground floor. 3. The Neighborhood Field – The baseball diamond and outfield has been transformed into a new neighborhood park space, open for events like youth sports and community events. 4. The Creek Park – As part of a regional vision to revitalize Salt Lake Valley’s waterways, the Creek Park partially daylights the three creeks flowing under 1300 South and invites the community to enjoy the beauty of nature. 5. The Festival Street – Building on the Station Area Plan, West Temple is transformed into the neighborhood’s festival street, a venue for outdoor events like a farmer’s market and street fairs. 6. The Civic Edge on Main Street – Library Branch and the relocation of Fire Station 8 forms a civic edge along Main Street, anchoring the neighborhood with important community institutions. 7. Views of the Wasatch – Development has been thoughtfully sculpted to ensure the majestic views of the Wasatch Mountains have been preserved. 8. Living at the Ballpark – The park spaces, local businesses, and event spaces are anchored by a variety of housing options serving community members at different stages of life with opportunities for home ownership. The Design Plan continues to elaborate on numerous aspects of the proposed development including land use – highlighting the multipurpose venue as the Site’s centerpiece – along with mobility and infrastructure improvements, and social infrastructure such as access to fresh food and attainable homeownership opportunities. 3 Land Use Framework – The Ballpark Site is envisioned to become a mixed-use hub, anchored by a sports and entertainment venue, open space and civically-minded uses along Main Street. It’s projected that approximately 460 housing units will be constructed as part of the new development. Denser, mixed-use housing forms are to be located on the northern half of the site transitioning to mid-rise, missing-middle housing forms to the south in an effort to provide a transition to the lower-scale, single-family neighborhood off Richards Street. The community has identified a need for both home ownership opportunities and senior housing, the viability of which will be explored further as part of next steps based on current market conditions. While the Plan does not go into detail regarding rental housing, it’s anticipated that some affordable rental housing will be incorporated on the Site in alignment with the CRA’s housing priorities. Proposed commercially-oriented uses include a 125-key hotel off the southeast corner of 1300 South and West Temple, space for local businesses along both sides of 1300 South and within the re-adapted stadium structure, as well as a grocery store and wellness-oriented uses such as fitness studios and health clinics on the northern site. It’s anticipated that two parking structures with 775 stalls will be needed to accommodate these uses in addition to self-parked buildings; one on the northern block and one on the southern block. There may also be potential to accommodate community-serving commercial uses on the ground floor of these structures to further activate the public way. Mobility Framework – The mobility framework proposes introducing multiple, multi-modal streets and pedestrian-only pathways to increase the permeability of the site, prioritizing pedestrians on foot. Access for both emergency vehicles and service vehicles has also been designated as a part of this new street network. In response to the community’s preference for safer, pedestrian-oriented streets, Kimley-Horn has proposed potential improvements to 1300 South including a mid-block scatter crossing. Resilience Framework – The resilience framework addresses tangible community benefits including strategic landscaping elements, infrastructure systems that enable water conservation, clean air, and climatically comfortable spaces year-round. Details regarding stormwater retention, green infrastructure, and social infrastructure/publicly accessible spaces are included in the document. Phasing Strategy – Development is projected to be built out in four phases. The first phase focuses on the development of housing on the northwest corner of the site (Block A), lower-density housing off the southern edge of the site (Block L) and partial demolition of the Ballpark structure. Interim activation of both Festival Street along West Temple and the Creek Park should also occur at this type to test out programming concepts. More detail regarding future phasing can be found on page 102 of the Design Plan. The Plan’s appendix will include numerous technical documents that were produced as a part of this process to inform the overall design strategy. These documents include those listed below and will be attached to the published Plan. • Existing Conditions o Regulatory and Site Analysis Summary o Health Equity Assessment Summary o Existing Conditions Transportation and Civil Assessment • Structural Assessment o Existing Structure Limited Condition Assessment o Preliminary Engineer's Opinion of Probable Cost • Proposed Transportation and Civil o Parking and TDM Evaluation o Proposed Utilities Evaluation 4 o 1300 South Lane Reduction Evaluation o Creek Daylighting Study • Market Study o Public Assembly Market Feasibility Study and Stakeholder Interviews Community Design Plan Activities to Date Below is a summary of the stakeholder engagement, research, and analysis that has been conducted since the Design Plan process kicked off in August 2024.  Two Community Meetings. At the start of the project, CRA staff attended two community meetings to provide an overview of the Urban Design Plan process. Those meetings included the Ballpark Community Council meeting on August 1, 2024, and the Ballpark Action Team’s (BAT) meeting on September 12, 2024. Staff collected feedback regarding design preferences related to the Centers for Disease Control’s (“CDC”) Social Determinants of Health at the BAT meeting.  Ballpark Stakeholder Session #1. Critical Ballpark stakeholders including community members, surrounding property owners and representatives from the City and local organizations were invited to participate in an initial design ideation session on August 26, 2024. Building off the community’s guiding principles as well as the Social Determinants of Health, stakeholders were asked to prioritize future design and programming elements on the Ballpark Site within the context of preserving, adaptively reusing, or removing the stadium. Common themes that arose from the stakeholders across each of the three scenarios included: 1. Relocating Fire Station 8 to enhance emergency response times while incorporating community space into the station’s campus. 2. Enhancing connectivity across the blocks by creating pedestrian and/or vehicular streets. 3. Including an entertainment/concert venue. 4. Activating the ground floor to accommodate small, local businesses. 5. Creating an open green space for children and the community at large. 6. Accommodating civic uses such as a public library, fitness center, etc. 7. Improving 1300 South to be a safe street for pedestrians and vehicles alike. 8. Carrying forward the “Festival Street” idea from the Ballpark Station Area Plan. 9. Considering partial preservation of the Ballpark structure or a symbolic nod to the site’s baseball legacy as a marker of history. 10. Considering design moves that acknowledge and celebrate the confluence of Red Butte, Emigration, and Parley’s Creeks.  Draft Research Documents. A significant amount of research was completed in preparation for the second stakeholder meeting and as part of the consultant’s overall scope. o Kimley-Horn completed a draft of their limited structural analysis of the stadium, which found it to be in generally good condition for the purpose that it serves today. They also completed a draft transportation analysis, which will serve as a critical piece of the final Framework. o Victus Advisors completed an initial draft of their market feasibility study that analyzes the demand for an entertainment venue to serve as an anchor tenant for the project – a key finding that 5,000-8,000-capacity venue could fill a gap within the Salt Lake market. 5 o Finally, Perkins+Will completed a draft health equity assessment that compares critical health indicators within the Ballpark neighborhood to Salt Lake County as a whole.  Ballpark Stakeholder Session #2. The same stakeholder group was invited to a second ideation session on November 19, 2024. Expanding on the common themes from the first stakeholder meeting in addition to extensive qualitative and quantitative research, three development scenarios or “design test fits” for the Ballpark Site were presented for stakeholder feedback. Of the three designs, there appeared to be an initial preference for the partial reuse scenario.  Draft Development Scenarios. The research described above, geographic data, existing city planning documents (i.e. Ballpark Station Area Plan and Thriving in Place) and numerous stakeholder interviews have been used to guide the creation of three development scenarios or design test fits for the Ballpark Site presented at the December RDA Board meeting.  Announcement of Preferred Design Scenario & Subsequent Research. Assessing the feedback collected from the Mayor, Board and community members, Mayor Mendenhall announced the selection of scenario two – to adaptively reuse the southwest wing of the stadium as a flexible sports and entertainment venue – as part of her address to the city on January 29, 2025. Since then, CRA staff and the Consultant have completed additional research and analysis included in the final draft of the Design Plan to be presented to the CRA Board at their July meeting to solicit feedback from board members and the public. NEXT STEPS:  Final Deliverable. CRA staff and the Consultant will work to incorporate feedback from board members and the public to finalize the Design Plan. Intended to be an administrative guide, the Board may choose to endorse the final plan at a subsequent meeting.  Community Meetings. CRA staff will attend Ballpark community meetings to provide an overview of the final Plan as well as next steps regarding future development.  Phase I Request for Proposals. The Ballpark development will be built out in phases. The CRA will release a request for proposals to solicit proposals to construct the first phase of the Ballpark development as recommended within the Design Plan’s phasing strategy.

Developed with community input and key stakeholder collaboration, the plan paves the way for transformative partnerships with local institutions and businesses. It embraces best practices in public realm design, mobility, and landscape while placing human experience, accessibility, and cultural identity at the forefront. Above all, the Ballpark NEXT plan proposes a beautiful, welcoming space that honors its legacy while embracing future potential. Anchored in six guiding themes and principles of physical, social, and environmental health, it reflects the community’s aspirations and sets the stage for Salt Lake City’s next iconic hub for entertainment and economic vitality. Since 1928, the Ballpark neighborhood has been home to minor league baseball, a cherished local tradition. With the Bees’ departure, the community now has a rare opportunity to shape a new chapter grounded in shared values, inclusive planning, and long-term prosperity. Built on years of engagement and planning, the Ballpark NEXT plan provides flexible guidance for thoughtful development and investment. Instead of a rigid blueprint, it serves as a strategic tool to drive a once-in-a-generation transformation that prioritizes community benefits. The plan outlines a clear vision for public spaces, streets, and mixed-use development—each element contributing to a safe, welcoming, and well-connected neighborhood. It fosters economic vibrancy through high-quality jobs, diverse housing options, entertainment venues, and accessible green spaces, all shaped by a human-centered design approach. 6 7 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan Reader’s Guide Before delving into the document, let’s clarify the intended audience, how it should be used, and the value it provides.

Ballpark Station Area Plan (2022) The design framework aligns with the adopted Station Area Plan including the following actions: • Creating a dense urban environment and entertainment zone around the Ballpark. • Increase connectivity in the station area. • Increase urban design quality. • Improve safety. • Enhance social vibrancy. Ballpark NEXT Design Competition (2023) Immediately following the relocation announcement, Salt Lake City launched the Ballpark NEXT Design Competition, which invited residents, post-secondary students, and professionals to submit their creative ideas for the Ballpark Site’s future. 123 applications were received, including 92 residents, 14 post- secondary students, and 17 development professional applications. After being narrowed down to three finalists in each category, a public vote determined one winner in each. Many of the ideas from the design competition were incorporated into the final design framework including reconnecting Richards Street, the adaptive re-use of the ballpark, a publicly accessible parkspace, and daylighting of the three creeks, to name a few. Community Visioning and Guiding Principles (2023) The extensive community visioning process was built on the themes gathered from the Design Competition, as well as previous neighborhood planning efforts. The CRA worked with residents, businesses, and local organizations to collaborate via in-person events, online tools, and a working group where they discussed pertinent issues, provided feedback, and identified existing positives, challenges, and aspirations. This process culminated in the Community Vision Statement and Guiding Principles, which served as the basis for the preferred design scenario. Ballpark Next Urban Design Framework Planning Process (2024 - 2025) The Ballpark NEXT Urban Design Framework, which was an eight (8) months planning process, acknowledged and built upon previous planning work and community vision statement and guiding principles to deliver a human-centered development roadmap for the city-owned 14.82 acre site. The process included two (2) stakeholder ideation sessions, which included but not limited to representatives from Salt Lake City, Ballpark Community Council Leadership, Ballpark Action Team Leadership, Larry H. Miller Group, and Utah Transit Authority. The discourse and input from these stakeholder ideation sessions informed the selection of the preferred alternative. A break out group from the first Ballpark NEXT stakeholder ideation. The Neighborhood26 27 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Process The Site’s History An iconic landmark for the Ballpark neighborhood, the site has served as a sports, civic and cultural anchor in Salt Lake City for over 100 years. Natural History Historically, three Salt Lake Valley waterways: Red Butte Creek, Emigration Creek, and Parley’s Creek, traversed the neighborhood, terminating at the Jordan River. These creeks remained daylit as recent as 1952, but were ultimately channelized and buried under 1300 South. Baseball Origins The site’s baseball legacy began in 1928 with the opening of Community Park and later Derks An aerial view of Derks Field with daylit creeks along 1300 South as seen in 1952. (Credit: Salt Lake Tribune) Field. This ballpark served as the home of the Salt Lake Bees, Gulls, and Trappers for decades as well as a beloved anchor for celebrations and civic pride, hosting events like concerts and July 4th fireworks shows. Modern Day In 1994, Derks Field was replaced by a modern minor league baseball facility, first named Franklin Covey Field, now known as Smith’s Ballpark, which continued the tradition of baseball as the home of the Salt Lake Bees until 2024.

Ecology Infrastructure Transportation Infrastructure Social Infrastructure Located between Jordan River and Liberty Park, the site offers ecological value beyond human networks. With intentional planting and open space design, Ballpark NEXT becomes a “stepping stone” along a migratory pollinator corridor. The neighborhood is served by TRAX light rail and frequent bus service on State Street. The framework can deliver walkable and bikeable connections to everyday shops and services, reducing reliance on automobiles. The site presents an opportunity to better connect to existing neighborhood social infrastructure such as educational institutions, everyday services, and health care support through green streets.

The Ballpark neighborhood faces significant disparities compared to Salt Lake County, underscoring the urgent need for place-based, health supportive design interventions. Below are a few key metrics: Guided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Social Determinants of Health framework, the plan prioritizes human- centered design strategies that address root causes of health disparities in the Ballpark neighborhood. According to the CDC, Social Determinants of Health are “conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning, and quality-of-life outcomes and risks.” These are organized into five key domains: Social and Community Context The CDC notes that strong social connections improve health and resilience. But many people, especially those facing discrimination or isolation, lack support. Building relationships at home, work, and in community spaces helps people thrive. Healthcare Access and Quality The CDC highlights that timely, affordable, and quality healthcare is essential. Many people lack insurance or providers nearby, making it harder to get preventive care or manage health conditions. Housing Cost Burden Poverty reflects limited income and access to basic needs, which can negatively impact health and deepen long-term inequality. Housing cost burden shows when housing costs take up too much income, leaving less for essentials that support health. No high school diploma signals limited education access, which is linked to lower income, fewer job opportunities, and poorer health outcomes. Racial/ethnic minority status highlights groups that often face systemic barriers to health, housing, education, and economic opportunity. Poverty Racial/Ethnic Minority Status No High School Diploma 51.4% 24.7% 35.1% 15% 48.3% 30.2% 18.3% 8.2% Salt Lake County Ballpark Census Tract 35.1% 15% Poverty 21% 11.2% Food Insecurity 11.4% 6.6% Transportation Barriers 24% 19.6% Physical Inactivity 5.5% 3.9% 4.7% Unemployment 51.4% 24.7% Housing Cost Burden 18.3% 8.2% No High School Diploma 21.8% No Broadband 16.6% 10.2% Lack of Health Insurance 48.3% 30.2% Racial/Ethnic Minority Status 36% 32.5% Social Isolation 5.1% 10.1% Single Parent Households Economic Stability According to the CDC, steady income and access to basic needs like housing, food, and healthcare are critical for good health. Poverty, low wages, and lack of job opportunities increase risk for chronic illness and poor outcomes. Neighborhood and Built Environment Where people live affects their exposure to violence, pollution, and other risks. The CDC stresses that safer streets, clean air and water, and access to parks and transportation can greatly improve health. Education Access and Quality The CDC links education to long-term health. Students who attend quality schools are more likely to succeed and stay healthy. Barriers like poverty, discrimination, or underfunded schools increase health risks over time. The Neighborhood34 35 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Process Ideation with City and Neighborhood Partners The planning process invited stakeholders to provide input on priority programs they would like to see at the Ballpark site, organized around the five domains of Social Determinants of Health. Three distinct design test fits were developed to illustrate different scenarios for the future of Smith’s Ballpark. Based on community input, Scenario 2: Adaptive Re-Use was chosen as the preferred alternative. Scenario 1: Preserve Scenario 2: Adaptive Re-Use Scenario 3: Removal Scenario 2 reimagines the Ballpark as a cultural and civic landmark, blending art, performance, and community driven activities while preserving the western portion of the stadium. Community stakeholders appreciated the balance of historic preservation with new development, incorporating partial re-use of the stadium while creating a vibrant, mixed- use destination centered on arts, culture, and community gatherings space.

Organize design ideas into the CDC’s five domains of Social Determinants of Health. 1 2 Filter the elements indicated as important by the community. Integrate the ideas into the design of new parks, streets, and buildings. 3 4 The design process integrated physical conditions analysis, public health assessment, and key programming ideas to shape the preferred land use and urban design framework. The Framework CHAPTER 03 The Design Framework42 43 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Mobility Framework Streets are envisioned not just as infrastructure, but as shared public spaces that create a seamless transit experience and foster greater social connectedness. The mobility framework prioritizes breaking down large blocks to make the site walkable and welcoming to the neighborhood. Keep Cars on the Perimeter Vehicle access is concentrated along the site’s perimeter - 1300 South, Main Street, Paxton Avenue, and parts of West Temple—preserving interior streets as pedestrian-priority zones. Break Up the Super Block By opening the edges and inviting the pedestrian to traverse the site through a series of connected alleyways and walkways, the super block is broken down into smaller pieces. This intentional porosity encourages walking and biking through the neighborhood as well as informing the scale and form of new buildings. NORTH Reconnect Richards Street Restitching the fragmented segments of Richards Street creates a key north-south pedestrian link through the site’s mid-block. The Design Framework44 45 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Street Typologies The framework applies three distinct street typologies—Park Promenade, Shared Streets, and Walkways—to support multi-modal movement and service needs. Together, they create safe, navigable pathways for pedestrians and vehicles throughout the development. STREET TYPOLOGIES Park Promenade Shared Streets Walkways Scatter Crossing Champion a Park Promenade The Park Promenade which wraps around the perimeter of the neighborhood field serves as a primary pedestrian link through the site, connecting West Temple to 1300 South in a biophilic environment that is restorative, safe, and welcoming. Enable Shared Streets These internal streets, shown as pink arrows in the corresponding figure, serve as secondary pedestrian connectors to the Park Promenade. At the same time, they must accommodate emergency vehicles, event loading and servicing, as well as access to parking and loading areas for adjacent buildings. Establish Ground Floor Walkways New buildings with a long frontage should establish public walkways to allow additional options for pedestrians to enter into the interior of the site. Create a 1300 South Mid-Block Scatter Crossing A mid-block scatter crossing is introduced to ensure seamless movement between the two parcels on either side of the street. Positioned at the heart of the site, this crossing allows people to move diagonally, laterally, and directly across the intersection, improving convenience, walkability, and visibility. NORTH The Design Framework46 47 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Development Blocks Informed by the mobility framework and with an emphasis on a fine grain, human scaled urban fabric, the site is organized into 11 blocks for vertical development. PARCELS ACREAGE A 1.0 B 0.9 C 2.3 D 1.6 E 1.0 F 3.4 G 1.0 H 0.9 I 0.5 J 0.8 K 0.9 L 0.5 Development blocks are the foundation for walkable urban fabric and well-proportioned, visually engaging, and high-performing architecture. The approximate acreage for each block is listed in the table below and approximate dimensions are featured on the figure on the corresponding page. NORTH Land Parcelization All development blocks provide space for roadways, parks, and plazas. The acreage for Blocks C and F are larger due to the proposed location of parkspace. Public Realm Allocation The Design Framework48 49 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Urban Form The shape, scale, and height of buildings play a key role in defining the character and experience of a place. The proposed urban form framework sculpts building heights through the site to balance the need for density with access to natural light and views. NORTH 200 Feet 120 Feet 85 Feet 45 Feet 45 Feet 45 Feet45 Feet 45 Feet 120 Feet 65 Feet 85 Feet Highest Density Around 1300 South The framework concentrates the tallest height at the southwestern corner of 1300 South and West Temple, with allowable heights of up to 200 feet. This height reinforces a bold and iconic western gateway to the site. The parcels directly north and east step down to an allowable height of 120 feet. Both parking garages on the south and north block have an allowable height of 75 feet. Preserve Vews of the Wasatch Mountains To preserve the views to the Wasatch Mountains, parcels K and H are limited to 45 feet. This allows clear views from the revitalized stadium as well as key site locations such as the intersection of 1300 South and West Temple Street. ALLOWABLE BUILDING HEIGHTS Ballpark Structure 200 Feet 120 Feet 75 Feet 60 Feet 45 Feet Thoughtfully Blending into the Neighborhood The parcels at the northern and southern edges are planned for higher density, but their scale is carefully calibrated to transition smoothly into the surrounding neighborhood, ensuring the new development feels integrated, not out of place. The Design Framework50 51 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Service and Access While prioritizing pedestrian movement, the framework ensures interior roadways can accommodate vehicles, meeting fire requirements and providing clearly demarcated areas for service, parking, and pick up/drop off. SERVICE AND LOADING Emergency Access Streets Service Entries Lobby Entries Service Streets Pick-Up/Drop-Off Vehicle Access Parking GaragesP Emergency Access Streets The internal roadways are designed for everyday use but built to support fire access when needed. The Park Promenade and Shared Pathways are designated as emergency access streets with the appropriate width for fire access. Service Streets These are shared streets with appropriate width for garbage trucks and other service vehicles. NORTH Shared Parking Garages Two shared parking garages are located on either side of 1300 South. Parking Garage South has access from Main Street and Parking Garage North has access from mid-block service street. Vehicular Access Main Street provides direct vehicular access for Fire Station 8. All service entries are sited on service streets along the backside of new development. Lobby entries are primarily sited along existing roadways like West Temple Street, 1300 South, Main Street, Richards Street, and Paxton Street. However, multi-family housing blocks have lobby entries along the shared streets and/or alleyways. Designated Pick-Up/Drop-Off Designated pick-up/drop-off areas for events are located on West Temple, 1300 South, and Main Street. The Design Framework52 53 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Development Scenario This development scenario presents a long-term vision for the site, adaptable to evolving market conditions and community priorities.

Future rezoning efforts should align permitted uses with the proposed land uses and densities specified in this scenario. Multi-family housing is broadly defined to accommodate market-rate, workforce, student, and below market rate to ensure diverse options that meet community needs. Future phases of work will determine more details of the housing mix including family size units and pathways for homeownership. As part of this planning effort, a proposed Public Library branch is identified for the corner of Main Street and 1300 South. However, the final site selection will occur in a future phase of the project. Program Notes and Assmptions In order to calculate the approximate yield shown below, the following assumptions were used: • Residential Unit Size: 1000 sq.ft. • Hotel Room Size: 400 sq.ft. • Parking Stall Size: 400 sq.ft. The programs and resulting yields are listed below: The Design Framework54 55 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Multi-family housing is permitted throughout the site, with a total of approximately 400 new units planned. The framework focuses higher-density development along 1300 South and the northern block, while lower-density housing is concentrated along the southern edge. This approach is intended to maximize flexibility, accommodating a diverse mix of housing types—from rental apartments to townhomes—to support residents across various income levels and life stages. Senior Housing is proposed above the public library branch at the corner of 1300 South and Main Street. This allows seniors direct access to the library’s services and programming, reinforcing resilience and aging in place. The Northtown Library in Chicago featured in the image below is a good example of how a public library and senior housing can successfully co-locate. A hotel is proposed at the corner of 1300 South and West Temple, adjacent to the adapted ballpark structure and the neighborhood park. Incorporating hospitality use with ground- floor retail aims to activate this intersection throughout the day and week. A Sports and Entertainment Event Venue is the primary use for the adapted Smith’s Ballpark. The ground floor includes local shops on West Temple as well as storage, restrooms and concession areas. The upper floors include leasable commercial spaces and a rooftop restaurant/bar. There are approximately 3,700 stadium seats preserved. 1 2 5 6 Fire Station 8 is relocated further south on Main Street. The ground floor includes four truck bays, a front office, as well as operational facilities including tool and medical gear storage. The upper floors include a large central kitchen, fitness area, and dormitories. Ground-floor retail is permitted along the edges of the development, with local shops and neighborhood services envisioned for the adapted ballpark structure and new buildings fronting both sides of 1300 South. The intersection of 1300 South and West Temple is designed as a prominent western gateway into the site, animated by a vibrant mix of shops and restaurants. Additional retail may also be integrated along Main Street to support broader urban design goals for a more walkable and active streetscape. 3 4 A library branch is proposed at the corner of 1300 South and Main Street, establishing an eastern civic gateway into the site. The location was selected in part for its proximity to key educational anchors, including the Horizonte School and Challenger School. The timing of the library’s development will be contingent upon the relocation of the existing fire station. Parking is distributed across with two municipal parking garages one on each block, serving adjacent development and events. Parking Garage North on 1300 South and Paxton Avenue contains approximately 405 parking spaces. Parking Garage South on Main Street contains approximately 370 parking space. Multi-family housing on select blocks have on- site parking where as mixed-use blocks on 1300 South will utilize the parking garages. Parking needs for the fire station are not be shared with the rest of the development. 7 8 © Perkins&Will© Perkins&Will © Perkins&Will© Perkins&Will The Design Framework56 57 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Parking Framework To take advantage of the site’s proximity to transit while ensuring adequate parking for residents and events, the parking framework calibrates the supply to meet demand appropriately. Shared Parking The site is designed to support a shared parking model, maximizing efficiency and ensuring optimal use of parking spaces by different user groups throughout the day and night. While some multi-family buildings include on-site parking reserved for residents, most parking is shared at the site’s two parking garages. Park Once Environment Parking entrances are strategically positioned to minimize the presence of vehicles within the site’s interior and to encourage sustainable modes of transportation such as walking and biking Parking Requirements Section 21A.44.040 of the Salt Lake City Code of Ordinances establishes minimum requirements for off-street parking. As this development falls under the transit context, there are no minimum parking requirements. Parking Supply The development plan includes approximately 964 parking stalls overall, with 505 located in the northern block and 459 in the southern block. A detailed breakdown is provided in the accompanying table. Parcels are categorized as follows: those with on-site parking, where dedicated resident spaces are integrated within the building; ‘Garage,’ which refers to shared parking facilities accessible to all users of the development; ‘No On-Site Parking,’ where residents utilize the shared garages; and the fire station, which will have its own dedicated spaces.

The diagrams below illustrate how state-mandated buffer zones—300 feet for restaurants and 600 feet for other types of alcohol outlets— shape where these establishments may be located. These spatial constraints are a key consideration in ground-floor planning and ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements. Proposed Community Locations With Required Buffers Alcohol-Serving Restaurants Must Be 300 Feet from Protected Uses All Other Alcohol Outlets Must Be 600 Feet from Protected Uses Allowable Locations for Restaurants and All Other Alcohol Outlets Restaurants Serving Alcohol All Other Alcohol Outlets The site includes two existing community facilities—Horizonte Instruction and Training Center and Challenger School—as well as a proposed public library at the corner of 1300 South and Main Street, which is also considered a community location. This diagram measure 300 feet in pedestrian walking distance from the nearest patron entrance of the proposed outlet to the property boundary of the community location. This diagram measure 600 feet in pedestrian walking distance from the nearest patron entrance of the proposed outlet to the property boundary of the community location. This diagram show the remaining eligible locations for alcohol-serving restaurants and other alcohol outlets after applying buffer regulations. The Design Framework60 61 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Ground Floor Active Uses Active ground floor uses are concentrated along 1300 South, West Temple Street, and Main Street to enhance vibrancy, support walkability, and create a lively public realm. NORTH Programming along these frontages prioritizes uses that extend into the public realm—cafés, corner stores, coworking hubs, and community spaces that invite people to linger, gather, and return. These edges are social anchors. Material choices, canopy depths, and window transparency are all considered to support street-level comfort. Design for the ground floors is tactical, making the everyday act of walking, meeting, or pausing feel natural and safe. © Perkins&Will © Bruce Damonte GROUND FLOOR USES Active Use (Restaurants Serving Alcohol Permitted) Active Use (No Alcohol Permitted)Residential Entry Active Use (All Other Alcohol Outlets Permitted) Library Entry The Design Framework62 63 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Landscape Framework Inspired by the tree-covered canyons that cascade into the valley, the landscape framework invites nature to weave seamlessly throughout the site. Drawing from the rich ecology of the Wasatch Front—such as the Great Basin Sagebrush and the verdant Shurband canyons where natural creeks carve through the landscape—it reflects a deep connection to the region’s natural character. NORTH Preserve Existing Street Trees The urban forestry approach prioritizes the preservation of existing street trees, while promoting native tree plantings that rehabilitate habitat and provide a canopy of shade and cover for understory plants and people. The Softscape Plan The design strikes a balance between manicured spaces for entertainment and sporting events at the neighborhood field to surrounding native plantings to improve overall habitat. 1 1 3 3 4 4 2 2 LANDSCAPE ELEMENTS Preserved Street Trees Urban Elements Softscape Elements Hardscape Elements The Hardscape Plan The design puts forward a paving system which extends across the site, encouraging a pedestrian first environment. The pavers are designed in sync with built in benches and landscaped areas. Educational placards are integrated into the paving, telling the rich history of the site. Urban Elements The design of urban elements like built in benches, lighting with banners, and planters are coordinated with a distinct color palette and environmental signage to establish the unique identity of Ballpark NEXT. The Design Framework64 65 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Open Space Typologies NORTH Open spaces are the heart of community life. This section presents a range of public spaces intentionally designed to foster connection, support well-being, and cultivate a strong sense of place. The Creek Park 0.7 acres Located on the northern edge of 1300 South, the Creek Park is a natural space that reveals and celebrates the site’s hidden creeks - Red Butte Creek, Emigration Creek, and Parley’s Creek. The Festival Street 1.3 acres Located on a segment of West Temple Street in front of the Ballpark, the Festival Street is intended to be a venue for weekly local neighborhood events like farmer’s markets, while being open to traffic on non-event days. The Neighborhood Field 1.2 acres The former baseball diamond and outer fields have been converted into a multi- functional field serving local and city sporting and entertainment events. The field is connected to the adaptive re-use of the Ballpark. The Park Promenade 1.5 acres A linear park that weaves through the site, the Park Promenade has generous shade trees, nature-based play areas, and a variety of seating options for rest, gathering, and casual activity. The Library Court 0.1 acres This is an activated urban plaza along Main Street, used primarily as a space to showcase the Library’s programs and events. The court also serves as a mid- block walkway to the Park Promenade and Neighborhood Field. 1 2 3 4 5 The Design Framework66 67 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Landscape Framework: Water The water framework focuses on two key ideas: first, the daylighting of three creeks; and second, the integration of water elements throughout the site to support cooling, biodiversity, and overall environmental health. NORTH Daylighting Creeks The Creek Park brings water back to the surface, partially daylighting three creeks buried beneath 1300 South. One potential strategy to achieve this is by installing diversion structures to remove water from the existing 1300 South system and a control structure to re-enter the 1300 South system. This act of restoration turns forgotten flows into a living feature—cooling the site, supporting ecosystems, and inviting people to gather around water as a source of life, beauty, and connection in the city. WATER ELEMENTS Creek Water Flow Open Water Elements Stormwater Bioswales Stormwater Swales Several open water elements, designed as stormwater swales, are integrated around the Neighborhood Field. While they may not hold water year-round, depending on rainfall and seasonal conditions, they play a vital role in managing stormwater on site. These swales help filter pollutants, support native planting, and create small pockets of cleaner, cooler air, offering both ecological and public health benefits for the community. 1 1 2 2 The Design Framework68 69 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Landscape Framework: North Block Neighborhood life in the North Block centers around the Creek Park, which celebrates the site’s restored creeks and urban biodiversity. Adjacent hardscaped plazas create opportunities for restaurants, cafés, and local shops to spill out into gathering spaces along the park’s edge. Like Tanner Springs Park in Portland, the Creek Park weaves stormwater function, native ecology, and layered history into a central public space. It restores visibility to hidden creeks while offering a place for gathering, reflection, and everyday connection to nature. © GreenWorks The Design Framework70 71 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Landscape Framework: South Block The South Block is organized around the adapted Neighborhood Field. A tree-shaded Park Promenade runs through the block, linking all parcels with a continuous path and offering quiet moments to pause, gather, or play along the way. A lush, tree-lined walkway demonstrates how native plantings and layered vegetation can enhance biodiversity, offer shade, and create a welcoming pedestrian experience at the Park Promenade. This turns the streetscape into both green infrastructure and a lively community space. This playful urban landscape shows how topography, texture, and informal play elements can create moments of exploration and delight in everyday spaces. At Ballpark NEXT, similar design strategies—like elevated pathways, boulders, and integrated seating—can transform circulation routes and plazas into opportunities for movement and engagement. © Scape © Béton Brut The Design Framework72 73 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework At the heart of the development is the Neighborhood Field and the Park Promenade, the central open space designed to welcome residents, employees, and visitors of all ages. The Design Framework74 75 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Framework Social Infrastructure NORTH Social infrastructure encompasses the spaces and services that nurture the Social Determinants of Health, promoting physical well- being, social bonds, learning opportunities, and access to care. These elements lay the groundwork for a resilient and thriving community. The following uses establish a foundation for meaningful, community- centered investment at the heart of the neighborhood. Attainable Homeownership Opportunities These opportunities are distributed across several residential blocks, supporting long-term stability for local families. Local Small Businesses The re-adapted ballpark structure is envisioned as a hub for local small businesses, offering affordable commercial leases that help sustain neighborhood entrepreneurship and cultural identity. Local Fresh Food To support health and food access in the Ballpark NEXT neighborhood, a location has been identified for a fresh food market. Positioned near key pedestrian routes and transit, the market provides walkable access to affordable, nutritious options— addressing a long-standing gap in healthy food availability and supporting local food systems. Public Library A public library is proposed at the corner of 1300 South and Main Street, establishing a civic anchor for the neighborhood. This location supports walkable access to learning, resources, and gathering space— fostering community connection and lifelong education. Places for Play Ballpark NEXT reimagines play as an everyday experience for all ages. The former ballfield becomes a flexible open space for informal sports and community events, while a dedicated children’s play area offers safe, shaded play close to residential blocks. Together, these spaces support physical activity, social connection, and intergenerational recreation—core elements of a healthy, vibrant neighborhood. The Destination CHAPTER 04 78 79 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Destination Multipurpose Event Venue Once a single-use stadium, Smith’s Ballpark is reimagined as a vibrant destination for both the neighborhood and the city—blending open space, active ground floors, and varied programming into a civic hub. *Calculated with 7 square feet per capita space requirement. Sports The adaptable layout of neighborhood fields supports both informal community sports and formal events. For example: • Informal pick-up games, such as casual youth soccer matches or friendly basketball sessions. • Formal events, including youth soccer tournaments, X Games competitions, and sporting events leading up to the Olympics. These fields can transition between relaxed, unstructured play and organized sporting events. Cultural The new venue offers a combined capacity of approximately 9,000 spectators—filling a gap in Salt Lake City’s current venue landscape. This versatile space is ideal for hosting both large music events and smaller community functions, such as: • Concerts • DIY festivals • Utah beer festivals • Urban flea markets Spaces for Small Local Businesses Suite Level Restaurant, Roof Bar, and Event Space Community Programming/ Gathering Spaces Event Supportive Concourse Level 80 81 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Destination Adaptive Reuse of Smith’s Ballpark The decision to preserve a segment of Smith’s Ballpark was determined through a structural assessment and the collective desire to celebrate an important part of Salt Lake City’s history. Structural Framing System Smith’s Ballpark has a main structural framing system of cast-in-place (CIP) concrete bearing walls and steel framing and columns with precast risers in the elevated seating area, composite steel deck on the second and third floors, and metal deck on steel trusses for the high roof. The lateral force resisting system of the structure is special concrete shear walls at the ground level, and special steel moment frames at elevated levels. Non-Load Bearing Elements The ground floor consists of Infill, non-load bearing concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls. The CMU can be removed to provide greater ground floor transparency. Cast-In-Place Concrete Underneath the first level of precast seating risers there are cast-in-place concrete tunnels comprised of retaining walls that lead to the field and dugouts. Expansion Joints Smith’s Ballpark is divided into three areas, named the south wing, center structure, and east wing. It has three levels, the ground level, second floor (concourse area), and the third floor (suite level). The south and east wings are open-air areas where most of the seating is located. The center structure contains enclosed, suite-style seating. These three areas are structurally isolated with expansion joints which enables partial demolition. 1 2 3 4 South Wing Center Structure East Wing Expansion Joints 1 2 3 4 82 83 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Destination Reimagining a Historic Landmark New Roof Extension The proposal includes a new standing seam roof extension that provides shade and a sense of enclosure along Festival Street creating an outdoor room that encourages moments of pause and recreation. CLT and Steel Structural Addition Inspired by the tectonics of the existing steel structure, the design introduces a new cross-laminated timber (CLT) and steel truss system to support the roof extension. This contemporary intervention injects new architectural life into the structure, elevating the overall design with warmth, contrast, and a refined material palette. Existing Structure The existing steel structure, which is generally in good condition, will undergo preventative maintenance to extend its serviceable life. 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 4 6 6 Circulation Cores All vertical circulation will be retrofitted to meet accessibility requirements related to occupancy. The preserved tower in the selected section is reimagined with a structural refresh, transforming it into an iconic beacon. Additionally, a sculptural ADA-compliant ramp is proposed, rising from the Festival Street and landing directly on the concourse level. Entrance Portals Both existing and new entrances will be enhanced with prominent, vibrantly colored portals to create a more welcoming atmosphere, improve visibility, and support intuitive wayfinding. New Facade Treatment The existing concrete masonry unit (CMU) infill walls along the exterior façade will be replaced with glass curtain walls to improve visual porosity and activate the street edge. A string of small businesses will line the base, spilling out onto Festival Street to create a lively pedestrian environment. Following partial demolition, the southern wing of the remaining Ballpark will be enhanced with contemporary architectural elements that support new event and community programming, while reinforcing the structure’s role as a lasting, iconic symbol for the neighborhood. 84 85 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Destination A Revitalized SLC Destination.

Now, through adaptive reuse, it is reimagined as a dynamic community hub designed for all ages and abilities. The transformed space invites both daily rituals and chance encounters, from morning runs and youth athletic training for the Olympics to elder wellness routines and inclusive, intergenerational play. Why This Matters Seasonal events and gathering spaces reduce social isolation, enhance cognitive function in ol d e r adults, and support emotional resilience and mental health ac r o s s all age groups. I just scored the winning goal at the Fall Soccer Tournament!! I’m enjoying the spring weather with a “Movies in the Field” series! This local annual winter ritual is so fun! Getting to perform at the Ballpark Summer Festival is rad! The Experience The Experience92 93 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Experience The Festival Street The Ballpark has long brought people together on game days, energizing the neighborhood and supporting local businesses. Building on that legacy, the adapted Ballpark promotes economic stability through subsidized ground-floor spaces for small, local businesses. West Temple transforms into a Festival Street, hosting farmers markets, pop-ups, and cultural events. These interventons create pathways to local wealth-building and advancing health equity. Why This Matters Planning for local businesses encourages economic participat i o n , which is closely tied to health equity, access to resources, and reduced stress in underserved communities. This pop-up gave me the perfect chance to launch my new digital app right in my own neighborhood. Living here means being part of something thriving and a great place to raise my kids. Buying local produce every Sunday keeps me healthy, and supports my neighbors. The Experience The Experience94 95 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Experience FRUITS VEGETABLESDAIRY The Shops The Ballpark NEXT vision is rooted in wellness, welcoming young residents while helping older adults age in place with dignity. Health-supportive design is woven into daily life, making care accessible, familiar, and community-based. A network of ground-floor services—clinics, pharmacies, fresh food markets, and mental health providers—prioritizes proximity and affordability, supporting chronic care, timely treatment, and reduced reliance on emergency services. Why This Matters Community clinics and testing centers enable early diagnosis a n d preventive care, which are essen t i a l for proactively managing healt h and reducing emergency room visits. Got a prescription from the clinic, and I can fill it right next door—so convenient. This clinic helps me stay on top of my health—I’ve never felt more supported. It’s a game changer having fresh produce right in the neighborhood. The Experience The Experience96 97 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Experience Why This Matters Increased tree canopy and vegetation help filter air pollut a n t s , improve air quality and reduce asthma, allergies, and other respiratory issues—particularly important in historically redline d areas that often face environmen t a l injustice. The Creek Park Creek Park reveals and celebrates the site’s hidden creeks to restore a sense of place and a daily connection to nature. This green vision brings shade, fresh air, and calm to a neighborhood long underserved by open space. It creates a cooling microclimate, boosts biodiversity, and improves air quality, especially vital in historically redlined communities facing higher environmental burdens. These investments promote health, resilience, and everyday joy in the Ballpark neighborhood. Our grandkids always want to visit now—this creek park is their favorite part of the neighborhood. This tree-lined street makes my morning runs feel like a breath of fresh air—literally. Spotted a Western Tanager while biking— nature feels closer than ever out here. The Experience The Experience98 99 Ballpark Next Community Design Plan The Experience The Library The new Public Library anchors a vibrant Civic Edge for lifelong learning and community connection. It offers indoor and outdoor spaces for both formal and informal learning where children read with grandparents, students study, and neighbors gather around shared stories. By making high-quality educational resources walkable and transit-accessible, the Library helps close opportunity gaps, boost digital literacy, and open pathways to upward socio-economic mobility. Why This Matters Improved educational access contributes to higher income potential, better job opportunit i e s , and stable housing, all of which a r e core social determinants of healt h that directly impact life expectan c y and well-being. This library is so easy to access from the TRAX station—it makes learning feel open to everyone. My dad and I are picking up a book about Ballpark’s history after school—it’s cool learning about our neighborhood. Spending time in the outdoor exploratorium after work helps me unwind and stay curious.

This loan extension was the result of a HAME request to extend the initial 2-year loan term to 20 years for repayment. The loan was used to construct the 100-unit permanent supportive housing (“PSH”) project located at 580 South 500 West, known as Sunrise Metro. Sunrise Metro serves households earning 35% or less of the area median income (“AMI”). The loan extension has a maturity date of May 1, 2026. Currently, HAME is seeking to remodel Sunrise Metro’s existing 100 PSH units, add an additional 18 PSH units to the existing structure, and 100 new units in a six-story structure called Atkinson Stacks, for a total of 218 units (“Redevelopment Project”). The remodel will also include a small medical clinic and onsite pharmacy operated by Sacred Circle Health Care as a future tenant. There will also be a communal kitchen and living areas, case management offices, supportive services space, a gym, and a food pantry. HAME is requesting that the CRA forgive the accrued interest upon full repayment of the principal amount of $700,000, as part of the financing strategy for the Redevelopment Project. The accrued interest amount as of the date of this memo is $314,468.20, and will continue to accrue at a per diem of $57.53 until the date of repayment in full of the outstanding principal balance. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In March 2004, the Salt Lake City Community Reinvestment Agency (“CRA”) originally provided a short-term 2-year construction loan of $700,000 loan with a 3% interest rate to HAME. This loan carried a maturity date of April 2007. In December 2005, HAME requested that the short-term loan be converted into a 20-year cash flow loan with the same 3% rate. The CRA and HAME agreed that 36% of the net available cash flow (“cash flow”) would be reserved for CRA debt service, paid annually until maturity in 2026. 1 In reviewing HAME’s annual financial statements, the CRA confirmed that due to the population served by Sunrise Metro and the resources required to serve them, the revenue generated was not sufficient to generate a positive cash flow in 6 of 7 years of statements provided to the CRA. The only year that had a positive net cash flow was 2019. Other large factors in the lack of net cash flow are property repairs and other expenses. In late March 2025, the CRA received a loan restructuring request along with updated proformas and project documents. HAME indicated that the loan restructuring would be ideally completed by June 2025 to align with the anticipated financing closing in June 2025. As part of their financing strategy, HAME intended to restructure all four existing loans on Sunrise Metro - a Salt Lake County Loan, the CRA loan, and two loans from the Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund - and assume them under the new project ownership entity. In early June, HAME requested a change from a loan restructuring to accrued interest forgiveness. This occurred when HAME’s lender stated they could not proceed with the overall closing until every public entity with an active loan on Sunrise Metro closed prior to the lender’s closing date. With the lender requiring that all restructuring loan documents be fully executed prior to closing, this introduced the likelihood that the Salt Lake County and CRA restructurings would delay the project financing and construction schedule. HAME is able to proceed with the Redevelopment Project without the CRA loan since the project will use US Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) and Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (“VASH”) vouchers, which improves the financial viability of the overall project. ANALYSIS & ISSUES: The HAME request to obtain accrued interest forgiveness will provide an earlier repayment of the $700,000 principal loan, instead of waiting another 40 years. HAME has estimated that repayment would occur very close to their loan closing, which is estimated to be August 2025. HAME also requested interest forgiveness from Salt Lake County. The collective forgiveness of accrued interest from the CRA and Salt Lake County will free up capital that will be put towards the new project and assist in keeping HAME’s loan closing and construction timelines on schedule. Additionally, the Olene Walker Housing Loan Fund has agreed to assume a small amount of debt at 0% to further assist the project financing. These contributions from public partners combined with the 9% tax credit provide a feasible funding solution for the project. Although HAME is requesting forgiveness of the accrued interest, early repayment as opposed to restructuring the loan for an additional 40 years allows the CRA Board to add these funds to our existing programs, which will allow for additional funding for affordable housing developments. Furthermore, based on the project’s financial history, the scenario of restructuring the cash flow loan for another 40- year term would not guarantee payments to the CRA and would hold up the funds for another 40 years. Finally, approving the accrued interest forgiveness will allow for the Redevelopment Project to proceed without delays and will provide additional PSH that is needed within Salt Lake City once the project is constructed. The CRA recommends that the Board of Directors amend the loan to forgive the accrued interest as of the date of the repayment of principal due to the population that Sunrise Metro serves.

WHEREAS, Housing Assistance Management Enterprise (HAME) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to managing and developing affordable housing properties that serve individuals experiencing near-homelessness and further strives to develop safe facilities and expand solutions to provide permanent supportive housing in Salt Lake City. WHEREAS, Sunrise Metro is operated by HAME and currently provides 100 permanent supportive housing units. WHEREAS, on March 10, 2005, the CRA’s Board of Directors (then known as the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (RDA) Board of Directors) (Board) approved Resolution No. 597.06, setting aside $700,000 in RDA funds to be distributed by the RDA to HAME as a 2-year loan at a 3% interest rate, to be repaid by May 1, 2008. WHEREAS, in December 2005 HAME requested a 20-Year (240 month) loan extension to the original 2-year short term acquisition loan, due to revenue constraints in meeting the original debt service. WHEREAS, on February 16, 2006 the Board (then known as the RDA Board) adopted Resolution 609.03, approving the 20-Year loan extension with the same 3% interest rate and a new maturity date of June 2026. WHEREAS, in June 2025, HAME requested that CRA forgive the accrued interest on the loan. WHEREAS, as of June 20, 2025, the accrued interest on the loan is approximately $314,468.20, and will continue to accrue at a per diem rate of $57.53 until the date of repayment in full of the outstanding principal balance. 9 WHEREAS, granting interest forgiveness would allow HAME to repay in full the $700,000 outstanding principal amount, while allowing HAME to proceed with the new remodel and additional units. WHEREAS, CRA staff recommends that the Board approve HAME’s interest forgiveness request and recoup the principal loan amount of $700,000 to redeploy the funds for other affordable housing or homeownership opportunities within Salt Lake City. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the Salt Lake City Community Reinvestment Agency that it approves forgiveness of all interest accrued by the Sunrise Metro Acquisition Loan as of the date of repayment in full of the outstanding principal balance, subject to revisions that do not materially affect the rights and obligations of the CRA hereunder. The Board authorizes the Director to negotiate and execute any other relevant documents consistent with this resolution.

Funding for this acquisition was previously requested; however, due to an error during the transition to the city’s new finance system, an account balance was not transferred correctly. If approved, this straw poll request will bring the balance in the project budget to the amount needed for the 9 Line property acquisition. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The CRA frequently uses property acquisition as a tool for strategic development of property within designated project areas that incorporates public benefits as identified in city master plans. CRA staff has identified property in the 9 Line project area available for purchase. This property has also been designated as one of the “community nodes” in the City’s Westside Master Plan, which call for the development of retail and services that attract people from a larger area. If approved by the CRA Board of Directors (Board) via a straw poll, CRA staff will work to finalize the purchase of this property for future development. FUNDING SOURCES To date, approximately $1,731,556 has been allocated by the Board for this property acquisition at a specific intersection in the 9 Line Project Area. This total includes $355,722 that was added to the project budget at the Board’s May 13, 2025 meeting through a straw poll that appropriated this amount from the 9 Line Project Area Fund Strategic Intervention Program. Since that meeting, CRA staff discovered an error that occurred during the transition to the city’s new finance system, resulting in an incorrect account balance for the 9 Line property acquisition project. To correct this error, CRA staff are requesting the appropriation of an additional $603,444 from the 9 Line Project 2 Area Fund Strategic Intervention Program, bringing the project total to $2,335,000, to purchase this specific property. The current balance of the 9 Line Project Area Fund Strategic Intervention Program is $3,121,302. If the Board approves the allocation of $603,444 for the acquisition of this property, the remaining balance of these appropriations would be $2,517,858.
