RE:Power District Transportation Study Briefing from
Wasach Front Regional Council
PROJECT TIMELINE:
Briefing: August 19, 2025
Set Date: N/A
Public Hearing: N/A
Potential Action: N/A
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will receive a briefing from the Wasatch Regional Front Council about the Power District
Transportation Study. The Power District Transportation Study is an analysis of transportation options in
and up to one mile around the Power District location along North Temple, between approximately I-215
and 1000 West. The study aims to inform decision-making for projects that enhance multimodal
connectivity both to the site and within the study area. See Attachment A for map of the project area.
The keys goals and objectives of the study were identified as:
1. Promote a Vibrant Power District
2. Strengthen Existing and Future Businesses
3. Support Existing Residential Neighborhoods
4. Provide Transportation Choices
5. Enhance Regional Access
The study includes a current conditions report, a summary of the potential development of the Power
District, including trip generation and traffic study, and Economic Benefit analysis and an Event
Management Plan for the potential Major League Baseball Park.
Based on these analyses, the report provides a recommended projects list as well as potential funding
strategies to implement the recommendations.
Page | 3
Recommended Projects (pages 47-56)
Section 6 of the report outlines potential projects that would help improve transportation options in the
Power District. It includes a link to a StoryMap that helps visualize the potential projects. The potential
projects are categorized into the following concepts, outlined in Table 7 (Pages 48-50).
Street Connectivity
Multimodal Roadway
I-80 and I-15 Interchange
Railroad Crossings
UTA BUS, TRAX and Frontrunner
Neighborhood Traffic Calming (safety strategies)
Neighborhood Parking
Active Transportation
Mobility Hub
Appendix A of the Study includes the project information sheets for the recommended projects.
Additionally, Attachment B of the Council staff report calls out the map that depicts where each of the
recommended projects is located within the study area.
Funding Strategies (pages 66-75)
While no overall cost is identified, the study notes transportation improvements will require coordination
and funding from all stakeholders. Section 9 outlines potential ways the recommended projects can be
implemented, and which stakeholders may be best suited to help fund them:
1. Federal Grants
2. UDOT programs
3. WFRC federal funds
4. SLC sources such as Capital Improvement Fund (CIP), TIF and CRA (see policy question below)
5. Innovative Financing Strategies
6. Developer Driven
In addition to identifying potential funding sources for the recommended projects, the report includes a
prioritization matrix that is applied to each recommended project. The prioritization levels include Critical
Projects, High Priority Projects, Medium Priority Projects, and Low Priority Projects. Those are identified
in Table on pages 72-75.
POLICY ISSUES
Some of the funding sources identified in the study are not available, because they are already
diverted to other power district/UFAIRD purposes. The state legislation that created the Power
District, diverted traditional funding sources for municipalities such as sales tax and tax increment
from the City to the District. The boundaries for the City’s North Temple CRA area were required to
be amended so they would not overlap with the newly created Power District Project area. Any tax
increment generated from this area is now directed to the Power District/UFAIRD.
Additionally, the City’s portion of the 5th 5th (0.20% option sales tax) for Transporation was
identified as a potential source. However, the city’s portion of this funding source was directed to
the downtown sports district by legislation approved during the 2025 session, SB 306.
Page | 4
How would this study comport to SB 195, which the Legislature approved in 2025? This bill
requires the City to review past projects, study their impact on traffic circulation and develop a
mobility plan which would be submitted to UDOT for approval. Would potential projects identified
in this study be impacted by that bill?
In the Economic Analysis section of the study it notes that a projected $36.4 million dollars of tax
increment that would have otherwise gone to Salt Lake City will be directed to contribute to the
district over the next 30 years. See the Figure 33, page 65. It should be noted this contribution is
required by the State legislation. It was not a decision that came to the Council for consideration.

Scoring Criteria
Stakeholder Feedback Summary
Candidate projects were evaluated consistent with study goals and objectives, listed above. Each project was then screened considering it’s effectiveness, feasibility, and benefits.
Projects rated as “Supports goals and is feasible” indicates that the project should be considered for implementation in the Power District area by study
partners. Projects rated as “Requires further investigation” are considered long-term projects, or those that require additional study and evaluation as future conditions evolve.
The list of potential projects was distributed to the project’s Technical Advisory Committee, in the form of a screening survey, in December 2024. The purpose of the pre-screening survey was to obtain initial feedback and additional known information about each potential project. Stakeholder feedback is summarized in the “Survey Summary” section of each project information sheet. Their feedback and information helped further refine the project description and if a project will be advanced for further evaluation.

►A high-capacity route and egress for Power District traffic enables other egress points along North Temple and Redwood Road to be more multimodal-focused
►Requires coordination with FHWA. Ramps would need to connect to public streets
►Geometrically feasible to construct a tunnel,
see layout on the next page
►Additional design investigation related to on-ramp merging and weaving required; may require closing ramp access to northbound I-215 to eliminate weaving conflicts
►Streamlines interchange access from the Power District
A direct connection from South Temple to I-80
westbound ramps, through a tunnel under
Redwood Road, reduces potential impacts to
other parcels on Redwood Road.
Connect South Temple egressing traffic directly
to I-80 westbound ramps through a new roadway
and tunnel under Redwood Road.
Project Highlights
●Direct I-80 WB and I-215 access from South Temple
●Reduces need for new capacity on Redwood Road to accommodate Power District egressing traffic

Screening Summary
VISION & GOALS ALIGNMENT FEASIBILITY & DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS CONCLUSIONS
Requires future investigationSupports goals and is feasible Little benefit or not feasible
►Potentially feasible as a tunnel but would require a 15 MPH design speed. Profile would be similar to that under Salt Palace on 100 W, see layout on next page
►Would require a separate bicycle/pedestrian bridge similar to the bridge constructed at 300 North
►This project is critical to enhancing bus
service to Power District. Reliable transit cannot be implemented without this project that mitigates delays that would be caused by an at-grade railroad crossing
►Eliminates train-related delays, enhancing overall mobility
Project is critical and requisite to increasing
transit service to the Power District and westside.
Grade-separate the existing railroad crossing at
200 South and 650 West.
Project Highlights
●Reduces delays caused by Union Pacific
trains
●Allows for a reliable alternative route into the Power District via 200 South and Navajo Street

Screening Summary
VISION & GOALS ALIGNMENT FEASIBILITY & DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS CONCLUSIONS
Requires future investigationSupports goals and is feasible Little benefit or not feasible
►Underground station access via JRT reduces potential pedestrian-vehicle conflicts
►Expanded station supports larger volumes of transit-riders
►Direct station access from the JRT crossing under North Temple is supported by UTA and by Larry H. Miller Real Estate
►May require widening of the existing Fairpark platform to accommodate larger
passenger volumes. Further evaluation and design is required. Platform widening would also require track reconfiguration
►Project would be designed in conjunction
with Larry H. Miller Real Estate design of the JRT enhancements
Stakeholder Input
Project supports improved transit access, urban
integration, and event management.
Expand station platform to accommodate higher
volume of passengers. Reconfigure the Jordan
River Trail (JRT) crossing under North Temple to
directly connect to the Fairpark Station through
the center island.
Project Highlights
●Direct access to station platform from the JRT,
providing for increased passenger capacity
●Requires platform to be extended west to JRT
●Will require some track realignment west of the Jordan River and existing platform

Screening Summary
VISION & GOALS ALIGNMENT FEASIBILITY & DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS CONCLUSIONS
Requires future investigationSupports goals and is feasible Little benefit or not feasible
►Expands transit access and supports a mobility hub vision
►Could reduce vehicle parking demand through convenient transit alternatives
►Improvements may include seating, shelter, trash can, and lighting enhancements, see layouts on next page
►Consider ROW needs, especially at 1940 W
North Temple St (WB) and North Temple St /Redwood Rd (WB) stops
►Bus stop enhancements will improve
conditions for transit riders and should be coordinated with UTA
►As Power District develops, development plans should ensure that sufficient room is provided for bus stop enhancements
Enhance bus stops on North Temple served by
Routes 451 and F453.
Mostly supported. Integrating the TRAX platforms
and bus stops may bring more benefit than
additional bus stop locations.
Project Highlights
●Enhance bus stops on North Temple to include transit amenities and are ADA accessible
●Stops are improved to include covered shelters and seating
●Bus pullouts are removed, buses will stop in-line, mitigating need for new right-of-way to be acquired at several of the stops

Requires future investigationSupports goals and is feasible Little benefit or not feasible
►Extended Route 2 would provide another transit option connecting the Power District to Salt Lake Central, downtown, and the University of Utah
►Improves multimodal connectivity
►May reduce car trips and rideshare demand
►UTA is planning service expansion to split current Route 2 into two frequent bus routes: Route 2A and Route 2B between Salt Lake Central and University of Utah
►UTA is considering a Route 2 service
upgrade to BRT service
►Advance project recognizing relationship to
Navajo Street extension and overpass, and 200 South overpass over the railroad
Stakeholder Input
Project is supported, especially if it improves transit
convenience and reliability. Per UTA’s LRTP and WFRC’s
RTP, this is also proposed to be enhanced to BRT.
Extend Route 2 to connect into the Power District
Mobility Hub via 200 South and Navajo Street. Route 2
can potentially be upgraded to BRT service.
Project Highlights
●Extend Route 2 west into the Power District
●Project is contingent upon a new 200 South
overpass of the railroad near 600 West
●Project is contingent upon a new Navajo Street overpass of the railroad
●Continues to end of line (EOL) facility (Project 9B)

►Reduces vehicle congestion during events
►Provides direct regional transit access to Power District
►Preserves corridor and station area for potential FrontRunner expansion in the
future
►FrontRunner would need to operate on new track constructed parallel to existing UP tracks
►ROW would need to be purchased from UP
►Westward FrontRunner extension considered
a long term project
►Other funding sources are required to operate and maintain the extension
Stakeholder Input
Preserve rail corridor adjacent to existing Union Pacific
(UP) tracks to allow for future commuter rail from SLC to
Tooele. Commuter rail to Tooele would run on a new track
constructed adjacent to the existing UP track.
Initial ideas suggested shuttle service from Power District
to FrontRunner corridor. However, stakeholders indicated
preference to enhance TRAX to FrontRunner stations.
Based on previous evaluations, an extension to Tooele
is not financially feasible within existing UTA revenue
sources within a 50-year horizon.
Project Highlights
●Preserve ROW for future commuter rail to Tooele
●Preserve station area as identified for future Power District FrontRunner station
Type: UTA FrontRunner or Rail

►Increases transit capacity during surge events
►Enhances operation and reduces post-event wait times
►Reduces rideshare demand
►Staging needs to accommodate 4 trains with 4 vehicles each or 2 trains with 8 vehicles each. See layout on next page. Project requires realignment of North Temple, no new right-of-way is needed
►Switches entering the storage tracks and in the storage tracks should be powered, with switch heaters, and tied into the interlocking signals. Restroom facility for train operators needed
►Project will provide benefits to not only
Power District events, but also improves flexibility associated with the new Orange Line, and potential Olympic-related service needs
►Preserve options for a future TRAX station
Stakeholder Input
Construct a “baseball event” TRAX vehicle staging area
located between the Power District site and the Salt Lake
City International Airport.
Event trains servicing venues on North Temple would
proceed to the Airport in service; at the Airport the train
would be cleared, then the event trains would proceed
empty to the storage track (approaching the North
Temple storage tracks from the west). Post-event, the
trains would need to exit the North Temple storage tracks
and proceed east.
Project Highlights
●Establish an area for TRAX vehicle staging to accommodate increased transit demand during events
●Staging should be located within close proximity (less than 5 minutes) from Power Station and Fairpark
Station

►Enhances visibility and sense of personal safety for trail users
►Contributes to a strong and desirable active transportation connection to the Power
District
►See layout on next page; I-80 grade can be leveled over the Jordan River, allowing I-80 to be raised in conjunction with planned I-80 widening
►Existing free board clearance does not meet 100-year flood metric, thus needs to be raised by 10 feet during reconstruction
►Project improves the Jordan River Trail user experience and active transportation connectivity from outside of the area
►Project should be integrated into I-80 widening project as shown on UDOT’s RTP, as a Phase 1 (2023-2032) project
Reconstruct the existing crossing of the Jordan River
Trail (JRT) under I-80. Project should be coordinated
with the planned widening of I-80 (RTP Project R-S-
22), widening from 6 lanes to 8 lanes, Phase 1.
Existing crossing is narrow, below water line, dark,
and uncomfortable. This project is important to
continued improvements to the Jordan River Trail.
Project Highlights
●Improves the existing crossing of the JRT under
I-80 by raising the vertical clearance.
●Improvements should explore feasibility of widening the trail and constructing an underpass on both sides of the Jordan River. Alternatively, new bridge crossings to the north and south should be considered connecting both sides and allowing for
continuous JRT access.

VISION & GOALS ALIGNMENT FEASIBILITY & DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS CONCLUSIONS
Requires future investigationSupports goals and is feasible Little benefit or not feasible
►Expands the shared-use path network, enhancing accessibility for all users
►Improved experience through interpretive signage and wayfinding signage provides a sense of cohesion throughout the area
which could lead to community interaction and stewardship of the trail
►Much of northern end already has trail on both sides (one side is dirt) and just needs paving
►South of South Temple provides additional
challenges given rail corridor, I-80 crossings, and a narrow right-of-way
►Costs of signage and other materials
►Project championed by Salt Lake City
through on-going Emerald Ribbon Action Plan and by LHMRE on Power District site
►Coordinate with trail-adjacent land owners/developers/Salt Lake City’s Public Lands Department
Enhance the JRT experience by constructing a paved
trail on both sides of the Jordan River, improving user
experience and access.
Constructing on both sides is mostly supported.
Improvements to the Jordan River Trail should be a
catalyst for making it a county-wide amenity.
Project Highlights
●A paved trail on both sides of the river improves utility for commuting and recreation purposes. Feasibility of raising vertical clearance below I-80 for an underpass on both sides of the Jordan River should be explored (See Project 8B). Alternatively, consider new bridge crossings to the north and south connecting both sides of JRT.
●Potential for interactive activities, wayfinding signs, interpretive signs, etc.

Page | 7POWER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION STUDY
INTRODUCTION
The Power District Transportation Study is a technical analysis of transportation options serving the Power District in Salt Lake City and the surrounding one-mile area. The study aims to inform decision-making for projects that enhance multimodal connectivity both to the site and within the study area.
Study partners are Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC), Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Utah Transit Authority (UTA), Utah State Fairpark, Salt Lake City, and Larry H. Miller Real Estate (LHMRE).
LHMRE is the lead developer of the 100-acre Power District site, which will include new retail, residential, and office space. The site is also the proposed location for a potential Major League Baseball stadium.
Improvements to major roadways, transit services, and active transportation infrastructure – such as trails - will play a critical role in supporting the Power District’s anticipated growth and activity.
It is important to note that on-site transportation circulation and parking are not included in the scope of this study. These elements are being planned and designed by LHMRE as part of the overall redevelopment effort and have been considered in coordination with this study.
Study Area
The Power District is bounded by Redwood Road, I-80, North Temple, and 1000 West, strategically located between the Salt Lake City International Airport and downtown Salt Lake City.
The study area for the Power District Transportation Study, shown in Figure 1, encompasses the Power District itself and an approximately one-mile radius surrounding it.
The Power District is well-connected by three major interstates (I-80, I-15, I-215) providing regional access. Key corridors within the study area include Redwood Road, 900 West, North Temple, I-80, I-15, 600 North/ 700 North, 200 South, and 400 South.
The area is also served by UTA’s TRAX light rail system that runs adjacent the site and includes two stations: Power Station and Fairpark Station. Additionally, the FrontRunner North Temple Station and multiple bus routes are located within the study area, further enhancing multimodal access.
Study Goals and Objectives
The study aimed to develop a transportation system that supports the vision of a vibrant, connected community in the Power District and surrounding area - both now and for future generations. It recognizes that implementing effective transportation solutions requires balancing competing priorities and trade.
The study goals and objectives, developed collaboratively with project partners, provide the foundation for evaluating transportation projects, strategies, and recommendations. These are illustrated in Figure 2.

There are 67 transit stops within a one-mile radius of the Power Station TRAX Station. Ridership was reviewed at 32 of these stops, focusing on the major transit corridors (Redwood Road and North Temple) within walking distance of the Power District.
Figure 5 and Figure 7 show boardings and alightings for study area bus stops. As applicable, data for bus stop pairs was combined, such as stops with a northbound and southbound or eastbound and westbound direction. Figure 6 and Figure 7 show boardings and alightings for TRAX stations in the study area.
The data is based on UTA’s Stops and Most Recent Ridership database2, which shows average weekday ridership and is updated monthly. The average ridership data used in this report is from July 2024, published on August 9 2024.
Based on the findings of the North Temple Economic Action Plan, there is significant potential for transit ridership growth on North Temple with the anticipated future development in the area and the development of the Power District site. This potential growth is displayed in Figure 8.

Pedestrian, Bicycle, and Street Connectivity
STREET CONNECTIVITYRoadway connectivity enhances the efficiency of a transportation network by providing multiple routes for travel, reducing congestion, and decreasing travel times. Well-connected transportation networks also improve emergency response times and support sustainable transportation options like walking and bicycling, contributing to overall public health and environmental benefits.
WFRC maps connectivity scores along the Wasatch Front. The polygons depict a point system based on the number of four-way and three-way
intersections within each polygon (one point for four-way, 0.5 points for three-way).
Figure 9 shows the study area and surrounding portions of Salt Lake City. The study area’s low scores are primarily related to the lack of a grid roadway network and limited connections across freeways, rail corridors, and the Jordan River.

Page | 26POWER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION STUDY
Figure 10 depicts a hypothetical grid roadway network for the study area, assuming an ~800’ block-spacing and no physical constraints. While the ideal grid would be constrained by rail, the Jordan River, and I-80, there are transportation network opportunities to significantly improve access and connectivity in the study area.
Figure 11 shows many of the current connectivity barriers preventing a well-connected multimodal network in the study area.
PEDESTRIAN FACILITIESGiven the anticipated increase in pedestrian activity due to the proposed Power District redevelopment, a robust and well-connected pedestrian network of trails, sidewalks, and crossing treatments is essential. Beyond the physical infrastructure, creating and maintaining a high-quality walking experience is critical to the area’s success.
Figure 12 shows existing public street sidewalks and other pedestrian facilities within the study area. Many existing pedestrian crossings at intersections require improvements to enhance safety and reduce risks. Identified deficiencies include:
»Sidewalks on only one side of the road (e.g., 200 South) »Long crossing distances with little to no pedestrian refuge »Large corner radii that encourage highspeed vehicle turns and increase crossing distance »Right-turn-on-red vehicle movements that conflict with pedestrian activity »Permitting left-turn vehicle movements during pedestrian crossing phases
Figure 13 shows the results of an analysis of the pedestrian environment along the area’s major corridors. The pedestrian environment was assessed on an eight-point scale that included the presence of a minimum sidewalk; a sidewalk six feet or wider; a horizontal buffer from moving traffic (i.e. park strip); a consistent vertical buffer; consistent street trees; pedestrian amenities such as furniture, wayfinding, pedestrian scale lighting, or others; the condition of the sidewalk and landscape; and the interface with the adjacent land use. Each block was scored from zero to eight.

Page | 29POWER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION STUDY
BICYCLE FACILITIESThe study area is served by two primary shared-use paths: the Jordan River Parkway Trail, running north-south, and the Folsom Trail, running east-west. However, the Folsom Trail does not currently extend past 1000 West and does not directly connect to the Jordan River Parkway Trail.
Current on-street bicycling options within the study area are marginal. North Temple and Redwood Road technically provide bike lanes. However, the lack of additional treatments, high traffic speeds, and minimal vehicle separation reduce the effectiveness of these bike lanes, making them feel more like a traditional shoulder than dedicated bicycling facilities.
Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) was developed by Mineta Transportation Institute and has become a common practice for assessing the comfort and connectivity of bicycle networks from a user perspective. This methodology classifies streets based on how stressful they are for cyclists of varying skill levels. Figure 14 provides additional information about LTS.

Vehicle Operations
Traffic congestion within the study area is comparatively minimal, except in isolated locations during peak hours. This limited congestion is due to two main factors:
»Regional Freeway Access: Existing freeway (I-80, I-15, and I-215) connections on three sides of the study area, which limits the volume of regional trips that use arterial streets (Redwood Road and North Temple) to travel through the study area »Low-Intensity Land Uses: Current land uses within the study area generate a relatively low amount of peak-hour trips
Table 5 includes typical daily capacity thresholds for roadways, expressed in vehicles per day, based on the number of travel lanes. These capacity thresholds are based on the FHWA document Simplified Highway Capacity Calculation Method for the Highway Performance Monitoring System31 and were adjusted for local conditions. Daily capacity thresholds are used for planning-level purposes such as this assessment. Individual municipalities along the Wasatch Front, including Salt Lake City, may use different capacity thresholds for roadway planning as there are many factors (turn lanes, vehicle composition, signal timing, time of day distribution, etc.) that impact daily capacity.
As shown in Figure 17, according to the planning-level capacities shown in Table 5, primary roadways within the study area all have significant available capacity.

Figure 18 provides information on roadway and traffic signal ownership. UDOT owns Redwood Road (SR-68), while Salt Lake City owns all other study area roadways and signals.
Given its regional importance and higher traffic volumes than the rest of the study area, Redwood Road (SR-68) may have a more significant mandate to accommodate vehicle mobility. In contrast, other roadways may have greater flexibility for creating a liveable street environment.

WFRC Access to Opportunities
WFRC defines Access to Opportunities (ATO) as “a way to measure how well people can connect to basic needs and amenities, including jobs, schools, grocery stores, and other retail, parks, community centers, recreation, and entertainment.” ATO can be measured at the transportation analysis zone (TAZ), as well as at the regional level, and incorporates both land use and transportation system performance. WFRC has created an ATO Web Map that shows how well an area performs relative to other locations in the region
VEHICLE ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITYThe study area’s 2023 vehicle ATO is displayed in Figure 19. Despite the study area’s proximity to downtown Salt Lake City and multiple freeways, vehicle ATO near the Power District is rated as “near average largely due to limited connections to downtown and lack of existing development at the site
Figure 19 – Access to Opportunities (2023, vehicles only)
Page | 36POWER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION STUDY
TRANSIT ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITYThe transit ATO map (Figure 20) highlights more variety in access to opportunities using public transit. The TAZs immediately surrounding the TRAX Power Station are classified as “near average” while the areas west of the Power District are lower than “near average” and the area east of the Power District, with access to FrontRunner and multiple high-frequency bus routes, are identified as more accessible via transit.

5. POWER DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT
Page | 38POWER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION STUDY
POWER DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT
LHMRE is leading the redevelopment of 100 acres on Salt Lake City’s westside, known as the Power District. The revitalized area will feature a mix of residential units, retail spaces, office buildings, and parks. This holistic approach aims to cultivate an economically thriving community that enhances the quality of life for westside residents and visitors.
The redevelopment will integrate with the adjacent State Fairpark, with planned improvements aimed at strengthening connectivity between the Fairpark and the surrounding neighborhoods. Visual renderings of the proposed site, prepared by LHMRE, are presented in Figure 21 through Figure 25.

Power District Traffic Impacts
To inform the identification of transportation and mobility needs - both for local site access and broader regional connectivity - a trip generation estimate was developed. This estimate was incorporated into the regional WFRC/MAG Regional Travel Demand Model (TDM) to assess the development’s projected impact on local and regional mobility.
The trip generation was subsequently reflected in the regional Travel Demand Model to assess the site’s impact on local and regional mobility.
Note that LHMRE is preparing a detailed traffic analysis of the Power District Site. As such, this Power District Transportation Study does not include detailed traffic operational analysis.
Trip Generation Estimates
The Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation, 11th Edition, was used to estimate daily and peak-hour trip generation rates and inbound-outbound percentages. This information was used to estimate the number of daily and peak-hour trips attributable to the proposed Power District development. A summary of these estimates is provided in Table 6. The development is projected to generate approximately 33,000 new vehicle trips per day. This reflects an estimated 20% of those traveling to the Power District using transit.
Regional Travel Demand Model Estimates
The Wasatch Front Travel Demand Model (version 9.1.0) was reviewed in context to the proposed Power District site.
This review identified that the current 2050 TDM does not reflect the Power District site as currently envisioned. The combined 2050 (household and jobs) densities projected for the Power District (Figure 26) are approximately one-tenth of those in downtown Salt Lake City (Figure 27). WFRC is in currently the process of updating the model as part of the development of the 2027-2055 Regional Transportation Plan.
The existing 2050 TDM estimates approximately 7,000 daily trips to the Power District site, reflecting current office and industrial uses. However,
initial analysis shows that the full buildout of the Power District will increase the number of vehicles on adjacent roadways, as illustrated in Figure 28. Key projected impacts include:
»Redwood Road, South Temple to I-80: increase of 12,000 vehicles to 52,000 total vehicles per day. »Redwood Road, North Temple to 700 North: increase of 2,000 vehicles per day to 22,000 vehicles per day. »North Temple, Redwood Road to 1000 West – increase of 6,000 vehicles per day, to 39,000 vehicles per day. »North Temple, Redwood Road to I-80 – increase traffic of 1,000 vehicles per day, to 42,000 vehicles per day.

LRHME Traffic Report Findings
Initial traffic analysis conducted by LHMRE identified several issues and opportunities for improvement. Redwood Road, North Temple, and South Temple serve as critical entrances to the Power District. The existing intersection configurations are not sufficient to meet future traffic demand associated with Power District traffic. Improvements will be necessary to accommodate increased volumes. The LHM traffic analysis identified three specific intersections that require improvements/modifications, as follows:
»Redwood Road and South Temple: Improvements to include restriping to add an exclusive northbound right-turn lane and providing dual left-turn lanes and a westbound shared through-right storage lane. »South Temple and 1460 West: As part of the internal development, this intersection would be reconstructed with dual exclusive southbound left-turn lanes and a shared through-right lane, a northbound left-turn lane and shared through-right lane, and an exclusive left-turn lane with a through lane and shared through-right lane along the eastbound and westbound approaches. »North Temple and 1460 West – Improvements include providing a second southbound departure lane from this intersection along N 1460 W internal to the proposed site.
Other Future Improvements to Consider
»The I-80 and Redwood Road interchange is the primary regional access to the Power District site. Future projections show poor level of service (LOS), both with and without the new development. Interchange improvements are needed to facilitate ingress and egress to the Power District site. Improvements should accommodate all modes and dramatically improve safety and comfort for people walking and bicycling who pass through this interchange to cross I-80. Interchange reconstruction is included in the WFRC 2023-2050 RTP, which includes an interchange replacement in an unfunded phase and widening of I-80 from 6 lanes to 8 lanes in Phase 1. »Enhancing connectivity opportunities and expanding multimodal access through strategic extensions can improve mobility without having a significant impact on vehicle volumes. Key opportunities include extending Navajo Street to the south, and South Temple Street to the east. While these connections may service a limited amount of site trips, they are vital for improving multimodal connections to and through the Power District and the surrounding communities. These improvements are also consistent with those envisioned in Connect SLC, the Citywide Transportation Plan adopted in May 2024.

RECOMMENDED PROJECTS
The identification of potential transportation projects for the Power District followed a structured and collaborative process. The first step involved a comprehensive review of current, ongoing, and planned transportation initiatives in the area. This information, detailed in Section 2 - Previous Plans and Studies, helped identify existing efforts that could enhance the Power District and nearby neighborhoods.
Additional potential projects were developed based on the study’s guiding vision, goals, and objectives, introduced in Section 1 – Study Goals and Objectives:
»Promote a Vibrant Power District »Strengthen Existing and Future Businesses »Support Existing Residential Neighborhoods »Provide Transportation Choices »Enhance Regional Access
Initial project concepts were identified from discussions with the Steering Committee, targeted stakeholder discussions, and internal brainstorming by the project team. At SC Meeting #3, participants proposed additional projects that could add value to the Power District while advancing the study’s goals. This effort resulted in the development of 49 potential projects for further analysis.
Ongoing coordination with partner agencies - including Salt Lake City, LHMRE, UDOT, and UTA - was instrumental in refining project concepts and confirming priorities. These regular discussions ensured that the process remained collaborative, transparent, and responsive to real-world constraints and opportunities.
To facilitate understanding and engagement, the 49 project concepts were organized and shared through an interactive ArcGIS StoryMap, allowing users to explore project information by category:
»Street connectivity »Multimodal roadway improvements »Interchange upgrades »Railroad crossings »Transit
»Parking »Active transportation »Mobility hubs »Jordan River Trail enhancements
Project Evaluation Process
PROJECT SCREENING OVERVIEWThe project screening process was designed to identify transportation investments in the Power District that provide the highest value, advance multi-agency goals, and are realistically implementable.
Project concepts were evaluated through a multi-criteria approach that considered their alignment with the Power District Transportation Study objectives, input from partner agencies, and high-level feasibility factors. The intent was not just to generate a list of ideas, but to identify a strategic set of priorities that advance the study’s vision and objectives, are technically feasible, and have political support. Projects were screened based on two key inputs:
Vision and Goals Alignment – Each project was assessed for how well it supports the study’s objectives. Input from LHMRE, Salt Lake City Transportation, UTA, UDOT, and WFRC informed whether a project supports, conflicts with, or was neutral toward the study’s objectives.
Feasibility and Design Considerations – A technical review identified potential challenges, constraints, and considerations related to design, cost, and project implementation.
A one-page summary sheet was created for each project. These summaries included the project’s location, description, key features, agency survey results, vision and goal alignment, and feasibility considerations. Projects were categorized into one of three outcome groups based on the evaluation:
»Supports goals and is feasible: Project aligns with objectives and can likely be implemented; these projects were advanced for further study consideration. »Requires further investigation: Project may not provide near-term benefits but may be considered in the future as conditions and opportunities evolve. »Limited benefit or not feasible: Project was deemed infeasible or misaligned with study goals and removed from further consideration.
Appendix A includes all project information sheets.

Urban Design Considerations
Urban design is the practice of shaping a city’s public space. It operates at multiple scales, encompassing both “big” urban design – which refers to the layout, character, and connectivity of neighborhoods, districts, and street pathways - and “small” urban design – which focuses on the finer details of public space, such as the character of specific spaces and streets, opportunity sites, and elements of the streetscape.
The Power District Transportation Study’s urban design recommendations explore opportunities for public realm enhancements at both scales. These recommendations are informed by the suite of proposed transportation projects and illustrate how infrastructure can contribute to creating vibrant, connected, and livable spaces.
CORRIDOR AND NODES NETWORKWell-executed urban design often creates places that are greater than the sum of their individual components. Consequently, the urban design recommendations take a broader perspective by examining how the recommended projects intersect and interact along key corridors, within districts, and at major nodes. This approach highlights opportunities for integrated and synergistic public space investments.
Figure 30 illustrates of the potential locations for urban design interventions, organized by street and mode. These locations represent corridors and nodes where there are strong opportunities to link land use and transportation - creating and enhancing public places that are functional, engaging, and context-sensitive.
URBAN DESIGN OBJECTIVESAs the landscape of recommended projects is considered in the context of the planned Power District and surrounding neighborhoods and districts, five urban design objectives emerged:
Knit the Power District into surrounding neighborhoods and districts: The Power District sits at a major north-south divide in Salt Lake City’s Westside, created by I-80 and the UP/Patriot rail lines. A major opportunity lies in using the investment in the Power District to bridge this divide by integrating the district into and strengthening connections
to Poplar Grove, Fairpark, and other neighborhoods, while ensuring appropriate transitions. At the same time, planning for the Power District should consider connections to potential mixed-use districts to the east and west.
Create consistently walkable corridors: Currently, there are few walkable major streets in the Westside. While TRAX investment on North Temple created quality sidewalks and streetscape and Salt Lake City has invested in traffic calming and bike and transit infrastructure along corridors such as 400 South and various Neighborhood Byways, many corridors remain challenging to walk across and along. Creating walkable, pedestrian-friendly corridors will serve as the essential “glue” that binds the district together and supports vibrant, inclusive urban design.
Create walkable corridors: The Westside lacks walkable streets. While investments have improved sidewalks, streetscape, traffic calming, bike, and transit infrastructure on some corridors, many remain difficult for pedestrians. Walkable corridors will unite the district and support inclusive urban design.
Transform multi-modal nodes into compelling, quality places: This study outlines several key multimodal needs including TRAX stations, a mobility hub, and street and trail intersections, that function as convergence points for different travel modes. These nodes represent prime opportunity for placemaking, with thoughtful integration of land uses and high-quality urban design treatments.
Capitalize on and enhance the Jordan River Parkway: The Jordan River Parkway – with its natural riparian corridor, its trail and other amenities, and the places along it - is a unique and irreplaceable asset and opportunity for the Power District and broader Westside. The recent Emerald Ribbon Plan has elevated its importance. This study reinforces the Parkway’s central role in connectivity and placemaking within the district.
Go beyond Jordan River Parkway to shape a dense network of greenways in the Westside: The Westside is on the cusp of developing a comprehensive network of trail and open space corridors that complement and connect to the Jordan Parkway and set the stage for great neighborhoods and districts. Projects such as the Folsom Trail, Neighborhood Byways, open spaces within the Power District, and
Page | 53POWER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION STUDY
spacious corridors like 200 South provide emerging opportunities to create a comprehensive linear greenway system. The study offers recommendations to support this vision and encourages weaving these corridors into a cohesive, connected network.
CORRIDOR CONCEPTSTo realize these urban design objectives, the project team developed corridor concepts that synthesize the recommended projects into visions for walkable, multi-modal streets and trails that create, enhance, and connect great places, neighborhoods and districts.
Appendix B provides a summary of each corridor concept including a narrative of opportunities and recommendations, diagram of key urban design elements, detailed considerations for design and implementation, and example images. Corridor concepts were prepared for:
»North Temple »South Temple »New north-south corridor for the Westside: Navajo Street and 1460 West »Redwood Road »Jordan River Parkway »Folsom Trail »Additional corridors: 200 South, 1000 West
Key urban design considerations associated with each corridor concept are summarized in Table 8.

7. EVENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Page | 58POWER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION STUDY
EVENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
This section outlines key considerations for developing an event management plan. If an MLB ballpark is developed at the Power District site, a specific event management plan is recommended. The purpose of an event management plan is to provide, in a single planning-level document, the strategies and considerations necessary to safely and effectively to accommodate all modes of transportation expected during a large-scale event. An event management plan provides recommendations for managing both pre-event (ingress) and post-event (egress) operations. An event management plan is intended to be a foundational framework for the future management of events at the Ballpark, with the understanding that the plan will change and evolve over time as operations at the Ballpark are better understood.
Development Site Plan
The first key step in developing an event management plan for the Power District Ballpark is to understand the development’s site plan. Typically, an event management plan is created while the event site plan is still being developed, meaning both plans are subject to change and should be developed in tandem. This approach ensures that as the site plan becomes more detailed, the event management plan can be refined accordingly - changes to one plan will impact the other plan. An event management plan will be updated once the event site is fully operational, and the property owner has a thorough understanding of the site’s operations. The following are key aspects of the site plan that, if altered late in planning stages, could affect the effectiveness and accuracy of the EMPPublic roadway network.
Public roadway network
»Internal site circulation and roadway network »Preliminary parking locations and capacities »Surrounding land uses »Internal site land uses
Event Scenarios Planning
The next step is to identify event scenarios for which the Power District event management plan will be prepared. This requires knowledge of the types and sizes of events anticipated for the Power District Ballpark, potential number of attendees, the travel modes those attendees will use to attend an event, and typical event ingress and egress times. The plan will vary based on event type and size, including MLB games and non-MLB events like concerts and community activities.
Event Management Plan Consideration Items
An event management plan can take various forms depending on the scale and complexity of the event. For the Power District Ballpark, the following elements should be considered:
»Quantity of person trips »Mode choice »Ingress and egress routes »Signal coordination plan »Traffic control plans »Parking access and control plans »Non-traditional/informal/entrepreneur parking »Staging areas (rideshare, shuttle buses, transit users, etc.)
»Pedestrian coordination & routes »Pedestrian protection »Internal and external street network impacts and closures »Rideshare operations »VIP operations and environment »Shuttle bus operations »Officer operations »Wayfinding signage »Safety
Key Locations
A number of key locations that should be evaluated in detail and incorporated into the Power District Event Management Plan. These locations and their key operational issues and considerations are listed in Table 9 and illustrated in Figure 31.

The Power District Transportation Study identified projects that align with goals and support the area’s development. Several of the projects are
Page | 60POWER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION STUDY
complementary to event traffic management. The following projects will specifically facilitate improved ingress and egress of patrons attending an event at the Ballpark.
»Project 1A – Navajo Street Connection »Project 1B – South Temple Street Connection »Project 2D – Transit Signal Priority Implementation »Project 3A – I-15/ 600 North Interchange Improvements »Project 3B – South Temple Flyover »Project 3C – I-80/ Redwood Road Interchange Improvements »Project 4A – 200 South/600 West Railroad Crossing »Project 5A – TRAX Fairpark Station Platform Extension »Project 5C – Route 217 Realignment »Project 5D – Route 2 Extension »Project 5E – TRAX Staging Area »Project 7A – Neighborhood Event Parking Management
Event Management Plan Updates
The event management plan should be evaluated after its initial implementation and updated as needed. An initial update may be required shortly after the first events are held, addressing any unforeseen issues that arise as visitors and staff become familiar with attending events at the Ballpark. A more comprehensive update should be completed after enough time has passed to fully assess the performance of the Power District Ballpark and its access operations.

8. ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
Page | 63POWER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION STUDY
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
The Power District Transportation Study presents an opportunity to enhance vibrant and accessible spaces in and around the Power District through new transportation opportunities. Identifying new and appropriate revenues for these projects is critical to their future delivery.
This section summarizes projected fiscal impacts of the potential Power District project, which is a key input in the creation of new revenue opportunities for transportation funding in the District and the Utah State Fairpark Investment and Restoration District (UFAIR) boundary.
Inputs to Economic Impact
Estimating the economic impacts of a real estate project largely depends on the developer’s land use plan and available lease rates in the area.
The LHMRE land use plan envisions a mix of multi-family housing, office space, high-turnover dining, retail, hotels, and the stadium as listed in Table 10. These assets all have the potential to provide important revenue generation capacity as is illustrated in Figure 32.

PUBLIC BENEFITSHB 562 specifies public benefits and the maximum contribution to a stadium. Public infrastructure improvements are land assets owned by a public entity or utility, benefit the public and are maintained by the public, or are privately owned and benefit the public. The UFAIR Board decides if privately owned improvements benefit the public when these improvements provide benefit to the development and operation of the project area. Examples of public benefits include:
»A qualified stadium. »Facilities that provide water, chilled water, steam, sewer, storm drainage, natural gas, electricity, energy storage, renewable energy, microgrids, or telecommunications service. »Streets, roads, gutters, sidewalks, walkways, solid waste facilities, parking facilities, rail lines, intermodal facilities, multimodal facilities, and public transportation facilities. »Public trails and pathways associated with the rehabilitation of the Jordan River. »Agricultural and related exhibit facilities on Fairpark land.
Note that the UFAIR District is limited to a stadium contribution to the lesser of half the cost of a stadium or $900 million.Source: ZPFI. As of April 2025.
Figure 32 – Projected Market Value by Asset Type
Page | 65POWER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION STUDY
Fiscal Impacts
It is estimated that the total fiscal impact of the Power District development amounts to approximately $518 million of net present value for the UFAIR district over 30 years. However, much of this impact arises from the sales taxing authority, which will be directly re-deployed into financing the stadium. As such, excluding sales tax authorities, the projected fiscal impact is $171 million of net present value over 30 years. This fiscal impact estimate accounts for terms of a stadium leaseback and the tax increment participation by the following entities:
»Salt Lake County »Salt Lake City School District »Salt Lake City (less its 25% participation share) »Salt Lake City Library »Salt Lake Metropolitan Water District
Figure 33 illustrates the projected net present value contributed to the district by property taxing entity over a 30-year period. Note that this chart does not include the approximate $27 million of net present value from a stadium leaseback.
There is an estimated potential of $171 million in net present value, which would be available for UFAIR to program for projects. The scope of these projects extends beyond transportation, and all project expenses require approval from the UFAIR board.

9. IMPLEMENTATION
Page | 67POWER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION STUDY
IMPLEMENTATION
Implementation of Power District area transportation improvements will require a phased and collaborative effort from stakeholders. The recommended projects will support development, enhance mobility, and promote equitable access to economic opportunities in the Power District area.
Successful implementation will require that new infrastructure facilitates access to and within the district in while minimizing negative external impacts, supports broader regional goals, and aligns with study’s project goals.
The detailed matrix (Table 16) lists each recommended project (as detailed in Appendix A), provides a preliminary cost estimate, and identifies initial implementation responsibilities. Lead and supporting organizations are proposed to guide coordinated project implementation process.
Recommended Phasing
Recommended projects are organized into four categories:
»Near-term capital improvement projects: These projects should be considered alongside Power District development within an approximately five-year horizon. Many of these projects will benefit westside neighborhoods independently of the Power District development, while others are only feasible if the Power District develops as envisioned. »Long-term capital improvement projects: These larger projects require regional planning, coordination, and funding. Some of these projects are included in the Regional Transportation Plan but are currently unfunded, while others are visionary projects to be considered when opportunities arise. »UTA operations projects: These service and operational projects will enhance the transit user’s experience in the study area. Many of these can only be implemented with the development. »On-going neighborhood improvement projects: These are Salt Lake City-championed projects and initiatives either currently in progress or planned that will positively impact the Power District. They are not development-dependent and will benefit the neighborhoods regardless of their implementation timing.
Cost Estimates
Cost estimates are provided for each proposed improvement project to support budgeting and future capital planning. The estimates listed in Table 16 are intended to inform decision-making and help identify potential funding needs.
Funding Opportunities
A variety of federal, state, regional, and local funding sources are available to support infrastructure investments aligned with the Power District’s transformation into a multimodal and vibrant event destination. These sources can fund critical elements such as street connectivity, transit access, and pedestrian and bicycle improvements. The following is a summary of potential funding sources and program eligibility. The funding programs are organized into six funding categories and include both competitive grant programs and formula-based funds, as well as local financing tools and developer-driven strategies.
The six funding categories are:
1. Federal Grant Programs: Nationally competitive funding programs administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). These grants support projects of regional or national significance that advance safety, equity, environmental sustainability, and economic vitality. Most require strong local match and public-private coordination.
2. Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Programs; State-managed programs that fund roadway capacity projects, safety improvements, and transit-supportive infrastructure. These programs include both formula-based and discretionary funds, often requiring coordination with UDOT and a local match from project sponsors.
3. Wasatch Front Regional Council (WFRC)-Programmed Federal Funds: Federal transportation funds allocated through WFRC. These include Surface Transportation Block Grants (STBG), Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ), Transportation Alternatives
Page | 68POWER DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION STUDY
Program (TAP), and the Carbon Reduction Program (CRP), among others. They are awarded through a competitive process and support regionally prioritized transportation and air quality projects.
4. UTA-Administered Capital Funds: Transit-focused capital funding managed by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA), including both local and federally sourced funds such as FTA Section 5339. These funds support fixed-route service expansions, bus and rail infrastructure, electric vehicle charging, and multimodal hub development. Coordination with UTA is required.
5. Salt Lake City and Local Sources: Locally controlled funding sources including Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds, transportation impact fees, local option sales taxes, and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) through the Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency (RDA). These funds are flexible and can support neighborhood-scale transportation investments or serve as match for larger grants.
6. Innovative Financing Strategies: Tools that leverage private development and long-term value capture to finance infrastructure. These include Transportation Benefit Districts (TBDs), Community Reinvestment Areas (CRAs), and Public-Private Partnerships (P3s). These mechanisms are often used in conjunction with public funds to deliver complex, catalytic infrastructure projects.
7. Developer-Driven: Funded directly by the Power District developer.
Federal, state, regional, and local programs each have distinct eligibility requirements, funding structures, and administrative processes. Some, like BUILD, are nationally competitive and require well-defined scopes, partnerships, and strong justification. Others, such as UDOT’s Active Transportation Investment Fund (ATIF) or WFRC’s Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) program, follow a regional prioritization process and may be more accessible for specific local improvements. Local tools like Salt Lake City’s Capital Improvement Program or Transportation Impact Fees are often more flexible but must be applied strategically and in coordination with long-term development and public infrastructure needs. Meanwhile, developer-driven strategies can unlock additional value when paired with public funds to accelerate project delivery and maximize community benefit.
Importantly, many of these funding sources can be strategically layered to match or unlock larger-scale federal grants, helping to position the City and its partners for competitive awards. Establishing committed local or regional funds improves project readiness and strengthens applications by demonstrating cross-sector coordination and long-term sustainability.
Together, these resources provide a layered funding framework that enables the City and its partners to pursue near-term and long-term transportation investments across a range of project types and scales. The following section, Table 11, summarizes each of these programs, including eligible activities, typical match requirements, and eligible applicants. It serves as a working reference to align specific transportation projects within the Power District with appropriate funding mechanisms.

Table 11 offers a summary of the most relevant funding programs that can support transportation investments in and around the Power District. While it captures a wide range of federal, state, regional, local, and developer-driven tools, it may not represent every funding program available now or in the future. As new programs are launched or existing ones evolve, additional opportunities may emerge to support infrastructure delivery in this high-priority district.
Table 12 builds on this foundation by linking identified recommended projects with the most applicable funding strategies identified in Table 11. It is intended to serve as a practical crosswalk between individual project needs—costs, agency responsibility, and viable funding sources. Together, these tools provide a coordinated framework to guide phased implementation, align public and private investment, and ensure the timely delivery of multimodal infrastructure to support the District’s vision.
Project Prioritization
A “Project Priority” is included in Table 12, as:
Critical Project – A project that is essential to the success of the Power District. These projects provide foundational infrastructure or connectivity that enables or significantly enhances the function of other projects. They are often prerequisites for future development phases and provide key regional and local connections.High Priority Project – A project that strongly supports the Power District’s goals and objectives and is expected to deliver substantial near- to mid-term benefits. These projects may not be foundational, but they are highly impactful and align closely with community and stakeholder priorities.Medium Priority Project – A project that supports the Power District’s goals but may have more moderate benefits or dependencies on other projects. These projects are important but may be more appropriate for implementation in the mid- to long-term.Low Priority Project – A project that is beneficial but whose impacts are more long-term or dependent on future development. These projects may be implemented as opportunities arise or as the area matures.

COUNCIL STAFF
REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Nick Tarbet, Policy Analyst
DATE: August 19, 2025
RE:Text Amendment & Street Vacation at
Approximately 240 W 200 N (West High
Rebuild Related Zoning Amendments)
PROJECT TIMELINE:
Briefing: August 19, 2025
Set Date: August 19, 2025
Public Hearing: Sept 2, 2025
Potential Action: Sept 16, 2025
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will be briefed on a proposed Text Amendment & Street Vacation at Approximately 240 West
200 North, related to the reconstruction of West High School. The proposed changes include:
a.Zoning Text Amendment: Alter building height restrictions, buffering requirements, and
allowed uses. Additionally, new construction would be exempt from review associated with the
Historic Preservation Overlay District. PLNPCM2025-00320
b.Street Vacation: Street vacation for a 130-foot-wide and 530-foot-long portion of 200 N between
300 West and 200 West, which is currently incorporated into West High School's campus. This
application would vacate public ownership and interest of a portion of the street. PLNPCM2025-
00321
Mayor Mendenhall initiated a petition to amend the Public Lands Zoning District to enact Temporary Land
Use Regulations (TLUR) adopted by the City Council in March 2025 on a permanent basis. The TLUR
expires on August 26, 2025. Those changes are:
1. Max building height up to 125 feet for public schools
2. Interior side and rear yard setbacks decreased from 50’ to 30’ when adjacent to zoning districts that
are not residential or manufacturing
3. Allowed obstructions in required yards introduced
Page | 2
4. K-12 Public Schools exempted from Historic Preservation Overlay District Provisions
5. Any K-12 public school alteration will be approved by the Planning Division
6. Modifications for Health and Safety Purposes are permitted according to the planning director
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on July 9, 2025. They voted 5-3 to forward a negative
recommendation to the City Council for the text amendment proposal and voted 7-1 to forward a positive
recommendation for the street vacation proposal.
The zoning amendments and street vacation will be heard as one public hearing.
The School District staff have been working with Planning staff to get their zoning certificate, which would
vest them with the zoning standards outlined in the TLUR. At the time this staff report was submitted, the
School District had not yet finalized that process. If it is not completed before the TLUR expires on August
26, the School District would have to wait for the Council to approve the ordinance before getting approval
on their plans. As of today, the timeline for the Council to consider adopting the ordinance is on Sept 16,
2025.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Planning Commission staff report noted six key items for consideration. A short summary of
Planning staff’s analysis is included below. Please see the Planning Commission staff report for a full
details.
1. Compliance with General and Community Plans
Planning Staff found the proposed changes are consistent with City Plans such as the
Capitol Hill Plan, SLC Citywide Transportation Plan and Plan Salt Lake.
2. Adoption of the TLUR Permanently
The changes proposed by this text amendment have already been presented and approved
by City Council, for a period of 180 days. The text amendment included in this report is
simply the adoption of those regulations without the 180-day time limit.
3. Compliance with Historic District Standards
K-12 grade public schools are exempt from the regulations defined in the Historic
Preservation Overlay District.
Utah State Code prohibits cities from applying regulations related to aesthetics and
building materials
The proposed text amendment does not hinder the Historic Preservation Overlay District
from being administered as it is currently, and no significant changes to current processes
would occur as a result of adoption.
4. Compliance with Zoning Requirements & Overlays
The proposed changes to the Public Lands Zoning District are in line with the Public Lands
Zoning District purpose statement.
For the street vacation, staff recommends a condition that “the vacated portion of 200 N
will be consolidated along with all other related parcels” to be consistent with minimum lot
width requirements.
5. Compliance with State Code
Page | 4
Utah Code gives cities the power to vacate streets when there is a good cause for the
vacation. Vacating the street will help enable the construction of the new high school,
partially on a non-functioning street.
6. Street Vacation and Easement Requirements
Staff supports the street vacation as long as the three proposed conditions are included in
the final ordinance. See the next section, Street Vacation, to read the three conditions.
Street Vacation
The amendment includes a partial street vacation for a portion of 200 North currently occupied by
recreational uses associated with West High School.
The School District has indicated they intended to use the vacate portion of the street as paved
vehicular access for the property to the north of the former street.
Planning staff recommend the Council include the follow-up conditions are part of the final ordinance
for the street vacation:
1. Prior to vacation of 200 N, the school district shall reserve an easement in favor of Salt Lake
City for the use, access and maintenance of all utility lines and related facilities as approved by
SLCDPU and necessary to ensure public safety.
2. The exact property boundary description shall be coordinated with the Salt Lake City Real
Estate Services, Engineering, and Transportation departments based on the decision of the
City Council prior to disposition and shall not include any portion of 200 North actively used
for private property access.
3. The vacated portion of 200 N will be consolidated so that the resulting parcel and any
construction built thereon will adhere to minimum lot requirements.

RECOMMENDATION:
PLNPCM2025-00320 - Deny Public Lands text amendment as recommended by Planning
Commission.
PLNPCM2025-00321 - Approve the 200 North Street Vacation as recommended by
Planning Commission.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: This proposal includes two separate petitions.
PLNPCM2025-00320 is a text amendment specific to the Public Lands Zoning District. Th is
requested text amendment is necessary to achieve the 2024 High School Bonded Improvements.
In November of 2024, a High School Improvement Bond was approved by voters in Salt Lake City.
The ballot title was as follows, “Shall the Board of Education of Salt Lake City School District,
Utah, be authorized to issue general obligation bonds in an amount not to exceed $730,000,000
and to mature in no more than twenty-one (21) years from the date or dates of issuance of such
bonds for the purpose of raising money for constructing and acquiring buildings and furnishings
and remodeling and updating existing school property, under the charge of the Board, and, to the
extent necessary, for providing moneys for the refunding, at or prior to the maturity thereof, of
general obligation bonds of the Board authorized hereunder or heretofore issued and now
outstanding?”
As a result of this bond approval, the Salt Lake City Council adopted temporary land use
regulations (TLUR) on February 18th of 2025 (published on February 27, 2025). These temporary
land use regulations were adopted with the purpose of facilitating the improvement bond. These
temporary land use regulations were necessary to enable the redevelopment of K-12 public schools
located within the Public Lands Zoning District. It is anticipated that the school district will
receive site plan approval for the new Highland High and West High while the temporary land use
regulations are in effect.
This text amendment seeks to codify the amendments to the Public Lands Zoning District initiated
by the temporary land use regulations (TLUR). These amendments altered the zoning
requirements that apply to K-12 public schools, including increasing the maximum height,
decreasing setbacks, allowing certain school related equipment in required yards, and exempting
K-12 public schools from any provisions required by the Historic Preservation Overlay District.
These amendments allow K-12 public schools more flexibility, but they also bring the
requirements for the PL zoning district closer to the existing reality for K-12 schools that were
built prior to the requirements of the district.
The street vacation is specifically related to improvements for West High School and would ease
its redevelopment.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES:
The proposed ordinance language is provided in Exhibit 1. The following changes are being
proposed.
Text Amendment to the PL – Public Lands Zoning District
The following changes apply only to the specific “Schools, K-12 Public” use:
A. The maximum building height increased to 125 feet.
B. Interior side and rear yard setbacks decreased from 50’ to 30’ when adjacent to zoning
districts that are not residential or manufacturing.
C. Allowed obstructions in required yards introduced.
D. K-12 Public Schools exempted from any provisions required by the Historic Preservation
Overlay District.
E. Any k-12 public school alteration will be approved by the Planning Division.
F. Modifications for Health and Safety Purposes are permitted according to the planning
director.
Street Vacation
The second application, PLNPCM2025-00321, is a partial street vacation for a portion of 200
North currently occupied by recreational uses associated with West High School. It is
approximately 130 feet wide and 445 feet long. The current use of 200 N is regulated by a 1987
lease agreement between the School District and Salt Lake City. The street vacation is requested
to relinquish public interest in the specified portion of the public street and to create a legitimate
parcel of land. The parcel of land would be consolidated as part of a larger effort to consolidate
the many parcels that make up West High School’s campus. The School District has not indicated
intentions to build on the vacated portion of land, but rather, to use it as paved vehicular access
for the property to the north of the former street.

4. NOTICE OF CITY COUNCIL HEARING
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Salt Lake City Council is considering Petitions PLNPCM2025-00320 and PLNPCM2025-
00321- In response to the passing of the 2024 High School Improvement Bond and the
associated temporary land use regulations (TLUR) by the City Council in February of 2025,
Mayor Mendenhall is requesting to amend the Public Lands Zoning District. This amendment
impacts Chapters 21A.32.070, 21A.36.020, and 21A.34.020 and would make the TLUR adopted
by City Council permanent. By doing so, the city’s zoning regulations will be updated to support
changes to the PL (Public Lands) zoning district, associated with public schools. The
amendments alter building height restrictions, buffering requirements, and allowed uses.
Additionally, new construction would be exempt from Historic Landmark Commission review
associated with the Historic Preservation Overlay District. Additionally, the second petition is
street vacation for an approximately 130- foot-wide and 445-foot-long portion of 200 N between
300 West and 200 West, which is currently incorporated into West High School's campus. This
application would vacate public ownership and interest of a portion of the street.
As part of their study, the City Council is holding two advertised public hearings to receive
comments regarding the petition. During these hearings, anyone desiring to address the City
Council concerning this issue will be given an opportunity to speak. The Council may consider
adopting the ordinance on the same night of the second public hearing. The hearing will be held
electronically:

Dear Salt Lake City Planning Commission,
I am a resident and property owner at 216 N 200 W and a deeply concerned member of the community. I
am writing to formally submit my strong opposition to the proposed Zoning Text Amendment
(PLNPCM2025-00320) and the Street Vacation (PLNPCM2025-00321) related to the West High School
rebuild.
These changes will permanently and negatively impact the quality of life and the historic fabric of our
neighborhood. My opposition is based on several critical concerns:
* **Impact on Neighborhood Traffic and Parking:** We understand that a significant portion of the new
parking will be located on the northwest side of the campus, directly adjacent to our residential streets.
This will increase traffic, noise, and congestion in our residential areas, impacting the daily lives of
families.
* **Extreme Building Height and Reduced Setbacks:** The proposal to allow a new school structure up to
**125 feet tall** and as close as **30 feet** from our property lines is completely out of scale with the
surrounding residential homes. This change will block sunlight, create a massive visual burden, and
eliminate privacy for countless residents.
* **Abandonment of Historic Preservation Standards:** Granting an exemption from historic preservation
review is a severe blow to the integrity of our historic district. The new construction should be required to
respect the character of the neighborhood, not be built as a monolithic, incompatible structure that
ignores its surroundings.
I grew up in this neighborhood. I graduated from West High. I understand the need for a new high
school. But Option 3 is not the best option for the neighborhood or the West High Students of the
future. Option 3 places the new burdens on the neighborhood, splits the school across an
extremely busy street and will have to be redone in future.
Spend the money now and do it right.
I urge you to deny these petitions and recommend to the City Council that they do not approve these
changes. Please prioritize the preservation of our neighborhood over institutional convenience.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Colin Kingsbury

Follow Up Flag: Follow up
Flag Status: Flagged
Dear Salt Lake City Planning Division,
I recently visited Salt Lake City for the first time, and during my stay, I spent a lot of time
exploring the Marmalade neighborhood. I absolutely fell in love with it. The historic homes,
the tree-lined streets, the small local shops — it all had such a welcoming, unique
character that made it stand out from so many other neighborhoods I’ve visited.
While I was there, I happened to notice a flyer about the proposed zoning changes near
West High School. Even as a visitor, it caught my attention because one of the things that
struck me most during my time in Marmalade was the presence of that beautiful, historic
high school. It felt like such an important part of the neighborhood’s identity and history.
It honestly made me sad to read that these changes could allow buildings much taller than
anything that exists there now, reduce buffers that give the area its open feel, and bypass
the historic review process that helps keep neighborhoods like Marmalade so special. I
understand that growth and updates are part of every city’s future, but this felt like the kind
of change that could alter the neighborhood permanently, and not in a good way.
I may not live in Salt Lake City, but I can tell you that neighborhoods like Marmalade are
what make a city worth visiting. It would be a real loss to see its historic charm replaced by
oversized buildings that don’t reflect the community’s history and character.
Thank you for taking the time to hear feedback from a visitor who left with a real
appreciation for what makes your city so special. I hope you will protect the unique feel of
Marmalade as you make decisions about this proposal.
Sincerely,
Marie

Attention:
This is regarding the building of the West High School specifically and the height and set-
back distance of
the new structures. I live close to where the proposed new structures will be constructed. I
have lived in
the neighborhood for 25 years and I do not want such significant changes. Please do not
allow buildings
to be built that would tower over my home and the rest of the homes by what—6 times their
height?
And 30 feet is much too close. This is where I live; this is where I walk; this is where I meet
and talk with
my neighbors. I do not want to live in the shadow of tall buildings.
This is a quaint neighborhood with historic homes and buildings. Please, let us preserve
these homes
and buildings and historical significance.
Perhaps we could build on the existing block and building where West High is located at a
reduced
height.
Thank you for your consideration in this important matter.

Policy Analyst
DATE:August 19, 2025
RE: Text Amendment: Changes to Zoning Incentives for Building Preservation/Adaptive Reuse
PLNPCM2025-00039
ISSUE AT A GLANCE
The Council will be briefed about a proposed text amendment from the Administration related to building
preservation incentives and adaptive reuse. The Council adopted an ordinance in July 2024 that provides
optional benefits for development projects that preserve eligible buildings.
Since that time, through several building preservation incentive applications and questions from potential
applicants, Planning staff identified some parts of the ordinance that would benefit from clarification and
modifications, so the ordinance works as intended. The proposed changes are discussed in the additional
information section below.
The Planning Commission reviewed this proposal at its April 23, 2025 meeting and held a public hearing at
which one person spoke expressing general support for the proposed text amendment. The Commission
voted 5-0 to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council.
Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed text amendment and determine if the Council supports
moving forward with the proposal.
POLICY QUESTION
The Council may wish to ask if there are any changes to the proposed text amendment resulting from
adoption of the Mixed-Use consolidation ordinance.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Item Schedule:
Page | 3
There are two categories of incentives available through the building preservation incentives and adaptive
reuse ordinance:
“A” Incentives (Adaptive Reuse for Additional Uses in Eligible Buildings) allow land uses not
typically permitted so buildings can be redeveloped for economically viable uses. Examples include
local landmark sites, buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, and buildings that were
constructed as schools, churches, or hospitals.
“B” Incentives (Preservation of a Principal Building) allow flexibility with specific zoning
regulations and streamlines the planning process when keeping or using an eligible building. The
incentives can also be applied to new construction within the same development.
Expand scope of modifications that can be reviewed administratively for building preservation
incentive applications.
o Issue: Changes eligible to be reviewed administratively were inadvertently limited to
additional building height for building preservation incentives projects. Affordable housing
incentives can be reviewed administratively for both height and design standards
modifications, but review of incentives for building preservation other than height must be
reviewed by the Planning Commission.
If an application requests additional building height it is reviewed by the Planning Director
for compliance with all design review standards. However, if the application also requests
changes to design standards such as glass percentage or building entrance spacing, the
Planning Commission must review those modifications for compliance with only standards
related to the proposed modifications, even though the project was already reviewed for all
standards during the height review. This duplication of effort can add several months to the
approval process.
Proposed Change: Allow administrative design review for any request that requires
design review approval.
Update Design Standard for Garage Doors Facing a Street.
o Issue: Current design standards prohibit garage doors on a street facing façade. This works
for some developments such as townhomes, but it can be a barrier for others such as multi-
family, mixed-use, or commercial buildings with structured parking and limited parking
access from the property’s side or rear. This, coupled with preserving existing buildings,
poses significant challenges.
Proposed Change: Garage door standard applies only to single-family attached
dwellings.
Authorizes Modifications to Maximum Yard Requirements
o Issue: Currently, the ordinance allows administrative authorization to modify minimum
yard requirements. However, when using preservation/adaptive building reuse incentives,
some flexibility in the maximum yard requirements is needed.
Proposed Change: Allow modifications to the maximum yard requirements in
zones that have them.
Clarifies Restrictive Covenant Requirements
o Issue: The ordinance currently requires preservation incentives to remain in place for a
minimum of 30 years but only for new buildings on the site.
Page | 3
Proposed Chage: Apply the 30-year requirement for all new development, such as
additions to an existing building, even if the incentives aren’t applied to a new
building on the site.
Allow a Time Extension Request for Preliminary Approvals
o Issue: Preliminary approvals of incentive applications are valid for one year unless building
plans are submitted to Building Services. If plans are not submitted within one year, the
preliminary approval will expire, requiring the applicant to reapply for preliminary
approval.
Proposed Change: Allow the Planning Director to grant a one-year extension,
provided there has not been any change to the proposed project. This will eliminate
applicant resubmittals, saving staff time and delays caused by redundant review.
KEY CONSIDERATION
Planning staff identified one key consideration related to the proposal, found on pages 4-8 of the Planning
Commission staff report, and briefly summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the Planning
staff report.
Consideration 1 – How the Proposal Helps Implement City Goals & Policies Identified in
Adopted Plans:
It is Planning staff’s opinion that the proposed text amendment aligns with many principles and concepts
found in Plan Salt Lake, Housing SLC, Sustainable Salt Lake, Climate Positive 2040, the Salt Lake City
Community Preservation Plan, and Thriving in Place, as well as several neighborhood plans.
ANALYSIS OF STANDARDS
Attachment B (pages 13-15) of the Planning Commission staff report outlines zoning text amendment
standards 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.
Factor Finding
Whether a proposed text 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 text amendment furthers the

CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Salt Lake City is proposing changes to its zoning ordinance related to Building Preservation
Incentives/Adaptive Reuse. In July 2024, the City Council adopted Ordinance 56 of 2024,
establishing zoning incentives for Building Preservation/Adaptive Reuse. These optional
incentives offer benefits for development projects that preserve eligible buildings.
Since the ordinance was adopted, the Planning Division has received seven formal applications
and several inquiries from prospective applicants. Over the past year of applying the ordinance,
Staff has identified parts of the ordinance that need clarification or adjustment to ensure it functions
as originally intended. The purpose of this text amendment is to make those needed improvements.
The proposed changes would apply citywide to projects utilizing the Building Preservation
Incentives and focus on the following:
• Expands the scope of modifications that can be reviewed administratively by planning
staff.
• Clarifies design standards for new construction associated with Building Preservation
Incentive applications, specifically the prohibition of garage doors facing a public street,
which can be challenging for certain uses and building types with structured parking.
• Clarifies when a restrictive covenant is required.
• Adds a provision allowing for a one-year extension of a preliminary approval.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
Text amendments must comply with the early notification process in 21A.10. The following is a
list of public input opportunities related to the proposed text amendment:
• February 13, 2025 – Petition information posted to the city’s online open house webpage,
a draft ordinance was included in this information.
• February 13, 2025 – All recognized organizations were sent the 45-day required notice for
text amendments that included a draft ordinance for review.
• April 23, 2025 – The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposal and
forwarded a unanimous positive recommendation to the City Council to adopt the proposed
amendment.

Petition No.: PLNPCM2025-00039
Version: 2
Date Prepared: May 31, 2025
Planning Commission Action: Recommendation on April 23, 2025
This proposed ordinance makes the following amendments (for summary purposes only):
• Amends 21A.52.040.B to add the ability to request a one-year time extension of the preliminary
approval – consistent with our planning approvals.
• Amends 21A.52.060.B.4.b.1 to include a modification allowance for maximum yard areas in
addition to minimum yards.
• Amends 21A.52.060.B.4.e to expand the scope of administrative design review to include any
request that requires design review approval.
• Amends 21A.52.060.B.5.g to clarify that the prohibition of garage doors on street facing facades
only applies to single family attached dwellings.
• Amends 21A.52.060.B.6.c to clarify that projects using preservation incentives for new
development must guarantee retention of the eligible building that qualified them for the
incentives for at least 30 years. Currently, the provision applies only to new buildings, but this
amendment clarifies that new development—such as additions or expansions to an existing
eligible building—also falls under this requirement, even if it doesn’t involve constructing a
completely new building.
• Amends Section 21A.59.040.A to clarify projects that qualify for zoning incentives are not
limited to the scope of administrative design review identified in table 21A.59.040.
Underlined text is new; text with strikethrough is proposed to be deleted. All other text is existing
with no proposed change.
If adopted by the City Council, the Salt Lake City Council ordains the following, in substantial
compliance with the following:
Planning Note: Some of the text relies on the adoption of the Commercial and Mixed-
Use Zoning District Consolidation text amendment, which is currently pending adoption
by the City Council. If the Commercial and Mixed-Use District Consolidation proposal is

proposed language in this text amendment would remain largely unchanged, though the
affected sections of the code may differ

RE: Alley Vacation at Approximately 373 West American Avenue
PLNPCM2023-00636
BRIEFING UPDATE
During the January 7, 2025 briefing Council Members discussed the public benefit provided by an
easement along the east side of the parcels, along the potential future Trax Orange Line. Planning staff
noted that no development plans have been submitted so additional public benefits can be specified. The
applicant discussed potentially building townhomes along the easement which would result in activation of
the area.
The Council discussed including design requirements of a public street in a development agreement or
other mechanism to ensure they will be in a future development on the site.
Since the briefing, the applicant had the alley and easement properties appraised. The appraisal valued
each property at $65,000. City Real Estate Services reviewed the appraisal and believes it reflects a
reasonable price for the properties.
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to vacate an approximately 135 foot by 11.5 foot north/south
alley running between 373 West American Avenue to a former east/west alley that was vacated in 1965 and
incorporated into the applicant’s property. The Interstate-15 900 South viaduct abuts the southern
property line which renders the alley unusable as a mid-block connection within the neighborhood.
The applicant proposes redeveloping their parcels into a multi-family development, though no formal
proposal has been submitted to date. To support the Ballpark Station Area Plan’s goal of improving
Item Schedule:
Page | 3
pedestrian connectivity, the applicant proposes providing a 10-foot-wide easement on the eastern edge of
their property at 337 West American Avenue as shown in the image below. This would run along existing
railroad tracks and the potential TRAX Orange Line light rail route.
The Commission followed Planning staff’s recommendation and voted 7-0 in support of the
proposed alley vacation, with the following conditions:
(Staff note: this is a
recommendation from the City Attorney’s Office to allow time to finalize the ordinance and
complete a transaction for the alley property and proposed easement.)
Goal of the briefing: To review the proposed alley closure, address questions Council Members may
have and prepare for a public hearing.
POLICY QUESTIONS

ADDITONAL INFORMATION
In 2022 a previous owner attempted to vacate the subject alley through a quiet title action. (A quiet title
action is lawsuit in civil court to establish or settle title to property. They often involve cases in which
there is disagreement on who holds the title, and the lawsuit is intended to remove or “quiet” claims to a
title, resulting in a clear title.)
In this case, the court incorrectly granted title (or ownership) to the alley property to the previous owner
who brought the quiet title action, but the City was not notified. The alley is included in the subdivision plat
and has not previously been vacated. Public rights-of-way cannot be vacated through quiet title actions. A
notice of public alley is being held in escrow by the City Attorney’s Office and clarifies the alley remains
City property unless and until the City Council approves the alley vacation.
Alley vacation requests receive three phases of review, as outlined in section 14.52.030 Salt Lake City Code
(see pages 5-7 below). Those phases include an administrative determination of completeness; a public
hearing, including a recommendation from the Planning Commission; and a public hearing before the City
Council.
Planning staff identified four key considerations connected to this alley vacation. A short description of
each issue is provided below for reference. Please see pages 4-8 of the Planning Commission staff report for
full analysis of these issues.
Consideration 1: Analysis of Alley Vacation Factors
Section 14.52.030.B Salt Lake City Code directs the Planning Division to analyze factors in the following
table. Planning staff found the proposed alley factors clearly meet seven of the eight factors. The factor in
blue text received additional consideration, which is discussed below.
The Ballpark Station Area Plan (2022) discusses potential removal of the 900 South Interstate-15 viaduct
and replacing it with community amenities. UDOT owns the viaduct and indicated it has no plans to
change the current configuration. Vacating the alley would remove it from public access should the viaduct
ever be eliminated or reconfigured. However, it is Planning staff’s opinion that the applicant’s proposed
easement adjacent to the potential TRAX Orange Line will widen an existing connection through the block
and not result in a use that is contrary to the Ballpark Plan.
Factor Planning Staff Finding
The City Police Department, Fire
Department, Transportation Division,
and all other relevant City Departments
and Divisions have no objection to the
proposed disposition of the property.
Complies
The petition meets at least one of the
policy considerations stated above.
Complies with Policy
Consideration A – Lack of Use.
The petition must not deny sole access or
required off-street parking to any
adjacent property.
Complies
The petition will not result in any
property being landlocked.
Complies
The disposition of the alley property will
not result in a use which is otherwise
contrary to the policies of the City,
including applicable master plans and
Complies
Page | 5
other adopted statements of policy which
address, but which are not limited to,
mid-block walkways, pedestrian paths,
trails, and alternative transportation
uses.
No opposing abutting property owner
intends to build a garage requiring access
from the property, or has made
application for a building permit, or if
such a permit has been issued,
construction has been completed within
12 months of issuance of the building
permit.
Complies
The petition furthers the City preference
for disposing of an entire alley, rather
than a small segment of it; and
Complies
The alley is not necessary for actual or
potential rear access to residences or for
accessory uses.
Complies
Consideration 2: Policy Considerations
Alley vacation requests must satisfy at least one of the following four policy considerations: A-Lack of Use,
B-Public Safety, C-Urban Design, D-Community Purpose.
Planning staff found the alley vacation satisfies the Lack of Use consideration. As noted above, the alley
terminates near the Interstate-15 900 South viaduct and cannot currently be used as a public right-of-way.
Consideration 3: 2022 Quiet Title Claim
As discussed above, a quiet title action in 2022 incorrectly granted title to a previous owner. A notice of
public alley is being held in escrow by the City Attorney’s Office pending a decision by the City Council.
Consideration 4: General Plan Considerations
The subject alley is identified in the Central Community Master Plan, Ballpark Station Area Plan, and
Downtown Plan. Given the alley’s termination point at the Interstate-15 900 South viaduct, it is highly
unlikely it will be usable as a public right-of-way in the future.
City Department Review
During City review of the petition, the Engineering Division noted the need to maintain access for Rocky
Mountain Power to service its lines. This is addressed in the Planning Commission’s recommendation to
establish a utility easement or coordinate with Rocky Mountain Power to relocate the lines. No other
responding departments or divisions expressed concerns with the proposal but stated additional review
and permits would be required if the property is developed.
ANALYSIS OF STANDARDS
Attachment D (pages 46-48 of the Planning Commission staff report) is an analysis of factors City Code
requires the Planning Commission to consider for alley vacations (Sections 14.52.020/.030.B Salt Lake
City Code).
14.52.020 - The City will not consider disposing of its interest in an alley, in whole or in part, unless it
receives a petition in writing which demonstrates that the disposition satisfies at least one of the following
policy considerations:
Page | 6
A - Lack of Use- The City’s legal interest in the property appears of record or is reflected on an applicable
plat; however, it is evident from an on-site inspection that the alley does not physically exist or has been
materially blocked in a way that renders it unusable as a public right-of-way.
B - Public Safety- The existence of the alley is substantially contributing to crime, unlawful activity or
unsafe conditions, public health problems, or blight in the surrounding area.
C - Urban Design- The continuation of the alley does not serve as a positive urban design element.
D - Community Purpose- The petitioners are proposing to restrict the general public from use of the alley
in favor of a community use, such as a neighborhood play area or garden.
Planning staff found the requested alley vacation complies with policy consideration A-Lack of Use.
PUBLIC PROCESS

of this code; and
5. The appropriate city processing fee shown on the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule has
been paid.
B. Public Hearing and Recommendation From The Planning Commission: Upon receipt of a
complete petition, a public hearing shall be scheduled before the Planning Commission to
consider the proposed disposition of the City owned alley property. Following the conclusion of
the public hearing, the Planning Commission shall make a report and recommendation to the
City Council on the proposed disposition of the subject alley property. A positive
recommendation should include an analysis of the following factors:

A. Low Density Residential Areas: If the alley property abuts properties which are zoned for low
density residential use, the alley will merely be vacated. For the purposes of this section, "low
density residential use" shall mean properties which are zoned for single-family, duplex or twin

LACK OF USE:
The City's legal interest in the alley is shown on the subdivision plat, but it no longer serves as a
public right-of-way and has been privately used for some time. The southern section has been
vacated. Staff recommends pedestrian access along 400 West, American Avenue, and a pedestrian
easement for the future Orange Line project.

ALLEY VACATION FACTORS 14.52.030
Description Proposal Meets
Factor
1 All relevant City departments have no objection to the proposal. Yes
2 The petition meets at least one of the policy considerations stated above. Yes
3 The vacation will not deny access or parking to any adjacent property. Yes
4 The vacation will not result in any property being landlocked. Yes
5 The vacation will not result in a use of the alley property that is contrary to the City’s policies and
goals.
Yes
6 No abutting property owner intends to build a garage requiring access from the alley. Yes
7 The petition is for an entire alley, rather than a small segment of it. Yes

Salt Lake City // Planning Division www.slc.gov/planning
When an alley borders a single-family or duplex property,
the City vacates and divides it, transferring ownership to
the property owners. For non-residential or multifamily
properties (3+ units), the City may close and sell the land at
market value to the abutting owners.
TRANSFERRING THE LAND
Salt Lake City // Planning Division www.slc.gov/planning
APPRAISAL
The appraisal was prepared for American Ave Acquisition, LLC and Salt Lake City to evaluate a proposed property
exchange:
Vacating a 1,417 sq ft city-owned alley bisecting the development site.
Granting a 2,227 sq ft pedestrian easement along the site’s eastern edge.
Key Conclusions
•Both the alley and easement have the same appraised value of $65,000.
•The alley vacation improves the site’s development potential and supports highest and best use.
•The pedestrian easement aligns with city connectivity goals and does not significantly diminish the remainder
property’s value.
•The exchange is essentially value-neutral from an appraisal standpoint.

CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council follows the Planning Commission’s
recommendation to approve the ordinance to Vacate the Alley located at approximately 373 W
American Ave with the following conditions of approval:
1. The applicant shall establish a utility easement in place of the existing public alley
right-of-way following the approval of the request or coordinate relocation of the
existing power lines with Rocky Mountain Power.
2. The applicant shall establish a 10-foot-wide public access easement along the eastern
boundary of 337 W American Ave.
3. The applicant shall not purport to convey the property encompassing any portion of the

4. The applicant must consolidate the parcels through a lot consolidation
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Jarod Hall submitted this Alley Vacation application as the
representative of the owner of three of the four properties that abut the alley. The subject alley is
approximately 11.45 feet wide and 135 feet long. The alley runs through the parking area of 373
West between the abutting properties and terminates at the southernmost property boundary. The
alley cannot be used as a mid block connection because the 900 South viaduct is directly to the
south. The contact for this application is Justin Earl with American Acquisition
373 W American Ave - Subject alley highlighted in blue
The properties adjacent to the alley front either American Avenue or 400 West. Currently, only
the property at 373 American Avenue, which includes a main building and several accessory
structures, uses the alley. The neighboring property owners have signed the application and
expressed no objection to the alley being vacated. The applicant is requesting the alley’s vacation
to facilitate future redevelopment of these properties.
A previous owner attempted to vacate the alley through a quiet title action in 2022. A
court erroneously issued a judgment granting ownership of the alley to the previous owner. To
clarify that the alley remains City property unless and until the City Council approves this alley
vacation application (and to create a mechanism for the alley to be conveyed to the City in the
event this application is denied), the signed Notice of Public Alley included as Attachment E
was required of the applicant. It is being held in escrow by the City Attorney's Office pending a
decision on the application by the City Council.
Alley Vacation requests require supporting signatures from at least 75% of abutting property
owners. The applicant team does not own the property at 389 W American Ave, but Justin Earl,
manager of American Ave Acquisition, LLC, has signed in support of the application as a
representative of three property owners. Additionally, the owner of the 389 W American Ave
property has also signed the application. Therefore, 100% of the abutting property owners are in
support of vacating the alley.
The Ballpark Station Area Plan aims to improve pedestrian connectivity in the area. While the
alley was originally identified as a future connection, it is currently unused and has no potential
for future use or expansion. To better align with the plan’s goals, an easement has been proposed
in a more logical location to the east, which will enhance pedestrian access and connectivity.
Also, the easement location was identified in the the future expansion of the Orange Line.
The Orange Line in Salt Lake City is a proposed TRAX light rail route that would connect the
Salt Lake City International Airport to the University of Utah, passing through downtown. It is
currently in the planning phase, with no physical route constructed yet.
The City Council’s approval of the alley vacation is an important step in making better use
of the space and supporting community growth. Alley vacation requests must satisfy at least
one of the four policy considerations listed in provision 14.52.020 of the City ordinance.
Staff has determined that this request meets Consideration A: Lack of Use. While the City’s
legal interest in the alley is shown on the subdivision plat, the alley no longer functions as a
public right-of-way. This decision helps move plans forward for new development while
considering the needs of residents and the city’s future. It’s a positive step toward improving
the area for everyone.
Alley vacation requests must satisfy the at least one of the four policy considerations listed in
provision 14.52.020 of City ordinance. Staff finds that the proposed alley vacation
satisfies consideration A, Lack of Use:
The City’s legal interest in the alley is reflected on the applicable subdivision plat, but it is
evident that the alley no longer functions as public right-of-way.

PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Salt Lake City Council is considering Petition PLNPCM2023-00636, Alley Vacation at
approximately 373 W American Ave. Jarod Hall submitted this Alley Vacation application as the
representative of the owner of three of the four properties that abut the alley. The subject alley is
approximately 11.45 feet wide and 135 feet long. The alley runs along the western side of 373 West and
terminates at the southernmost property boundary. The alley cannot be used as a midblock connection
because the 900 South viaduct is directly to the south.
The property owners intend to close the alley to public use to allow for future redevelopment of this site.
The subject alley is located within the CG General Commercial District and is within Council District 5,
represented by Darin Mano. (Staff contact: Meagan Booth at 801-535-7213 or meagan.booth@slc.gov ).

15-12-183-014-0000
To Whom it may concern;
On behalf of the TAG Private Lending, LLC, I am submitting this application to vacate the
alleyway outlined within this application. The alleyway area abuts 3 parcels all owned by the
same entity. A quite title action was completed on or around 10/26/2022 and the county
updated the plat maps on or around 12/31/2022 reflecting the new property boundaries.
It was brought to our attention after the quiet title action was completed that the city may
have a historic claim on the alleyway. The city desires that we take this through an alley
vacation process.
The intent of the property owner is to continue to use the alleyway for access as well as
authority to maintain, secure and police the area.
Thank you

Demonstration of appropriateness of vacating alley way
14.52.020: POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
1. Lack Of Use: The City’s legal interest in the property appears of record or is reflected on
an applicable plat; however, it is evident from an onsite inspection that the alley does
not physically exist or has been materially blocked in a way that renders it unusable as a
public right-of-way;
Response: the alley area has been used by the adjacent property owners for an excess
20 of years. The alleyways do not provide access to another property. A portion of the
building built in 1964 located at 373 W American Ave was built on a portion of the
alley area.
2. Public Safety: The existence of the alley is substantially contributing to crime, unlawful
activity, unsafe conditions, public health problems, or blight in the surrounding area;
Response: The alley way terminates into the owner’s property and people
experiencing homelessness as well as people looking for theft and vandalism
opportunities frequent the area.
3. Urban Design: The continuation of the alley does not serve as a positive urban design
element;
Response: This is apparent based on the existing conditions of the buildings and the
alley ways.
4. Community Purpose: The petitioners are proposing to restrict the general public from
use of the alley in favor of a community use, such as a neighborhood play area or
garden.
N/A
The petition for vacation complies will items 2-8 below. The applicant has not
obtained approvals from other relevant city departments yet.

2. The petition meets at least one of the policy considerations stated above;
3. The vacation will not deny access or parking to any adjacent property;
4. The vacation will not result in any property being landlocked;
DocuSign Envelope ID: 4687CC42-6363-4135-BEC4-1172A1CE3CB9
5. The vacation will not result in a use of the alley property which is otherwise contrary to
the policies and goals of the City;
6. No abutting property owner intends to build a garage requiring access from the alley;

ALLEY VACATION OR CLOSURE PROCESS PLANNING DIVISION // v2.15.23 2
WHAT THE CITY CONSIDERS BEFORE AN ALLEY VACATION OR CLOSURE
14.52.020: POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
The City will not consider disposing of its interest in an alley, in whole or in part, unless it receives
a petition in writing which demonstrates that the disposition satisfies at least one of the following
policy considerations:
A. Lack Of Use: The City’s legal interest in the property appears of record or is reflected on
an applicable plat; however, it is evident from an on site inspection that the alley does not
physically exist or has been materially blocked in a way that renders it unusable as a public
right-of-way;
B. Public Safety: The existence of the alley is substantially contributing to crime, unlawful activity,
unsafe conditions, public health problems, or blight in the surrounding area;
C. Urban Design: The continuation of the alley does not serve as a positive urban design element;
D. Community Purpose: The petitioners are proposing to restrict the general public from use of
the alley in favor of a community use, such as a neighborhood play area or garden.
14.52.030: FACTORS CONSIDERED:
1. All other relevant City departments have no objection to the proposal;
2. The petition meets at least one of the policy considerations stated above;
3. The vacation will not deny access or parking to any adjacent property;
4. The vacation will not result in any property being landlocked;
5. The vacation will not result in a use of the alley property which is otherwise contrary to the
policies and goals of the City;
6. No abutting property owner intends to build a garage requiring access from the alley;
7. The petition is for an entire alley, rather than a small segment of it; and
8. The alley is not necessary for actual or potential rear access to residences or for accessory use.
WHAT IS AN ALLEY VACATION OR CLOSURE?
As part of the subdivision process, early developers were required to create alleys which were
then deeded to the City. They were used for coal delivery, garbage pickup and other services.
They also allowed access to garages. Today, when an alley is shown on a plat as a public right
of way, it means the City is the owner. In situations where it can be demonstrated that there
is an over-riding public purpose for vacating the alley, the City may relinquish its property
interest in the alley.
When an alley is next to or abuts a single family or duplex residential property, the City vacates
the alley, divides it in half, and the property is conveyed to the abutting property owners. If an
alley is next to or abuts a non-residential, or multifamily residential (3 or more dwelling units)
property, the City may close the alley and then sell the land at fair market value to the abutting
property owners.

CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM:Brian Fullmer
Policy Analyst
DATE:August 19, 2025
RE: Zoning Map Amendment at Approximately 247 North 800 West
PLNPCM2024-00629
ISSUE AT A GLANCE
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for the parcels at 247 North 800
West in City Council District Two from their current R-1/7,000 (single-family residential district) and SR-3
(special development pattern residential) zoning to R-1/5,000 (single-family residential) and SR-3. The
two subject parcels share the 247 North 800 West address and are shown in the image below.
The applicant’s stated objective is to construct for sale family sized (at least three bedroom) single-family
homes on the parcels. To accomplish this a lot line adjustment would likely be required and new homes
constructed behind the existing home. The Hoyt Place facing parcel is vacant. No development plans have
been submitted as of the date this report was written. It is important to note that if the zoning map
amendment is adopted by the Council, the property could be redeveloped with any use allowed under the
zone.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal at its April 19, 2025 meeting and held a public hearing at
which one person spoke in support of the rezone. Planning staff recommended, and the
Commission voted 5:0 to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council with the
following conditions:
At least half of the new units developed on the site will have a minimum of three bedrooms.
If the existing home on the site is demolished replacement housing will be provided as outlined in
City code.
Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning map amendments, determine if the Council supports
moving forward with the proposal.
Item Schedule:
Page | 3
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to discuss with the applicant the Planning Commission’s condition of
requiring at least half of new dwelling units developed on the subject parcels be family sized, with a
minimum of three bedrooms.
2. Is the Council supportive of conditions requiring family-sized units, and requiring replacement
housing if the existing home is demolished?
3. The Council may wish to ask the applicant if there are any affordable units as part of their proposal.
If so, how many and at what percentage of area median income.

would extend, reducing the yellow outlined parcel which is proposed to be rezoned to R-1/5,000.

Page | 4
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Combined, the two parcels total approximately one third acre. As shown below, surrounding zoning is a
mix of R-1/7,000 for parcels facing 800 West, SR-3 within Hoyt Place. R-1/5,000 (single-family
residential) is on the east side of 800 West, as is Jackson Elementary School (zoned PL (public lands)).
Area development is primarily single-family homes and duplexes. Some small scale development, mostly
infill, is occurring in the area that includes single-family attached and detached homes, and duplexes.
This neighborhood is well served by transit with the Jackson/Euclid Trax stop a block and a half from the
subject site, and the Frontrunner station is within a half mile. In addition, there are five bus routes within
two blocks, including a frequent transit network route.
The property is in the Salt Lake City Northwest National Historic District and the home is listed as a
contributing structure. Unlike local historic districts, buildings in national historic districts do not have
City protection from demolition, meaning the property owner may tear down the home as part of any
property redevelopment.
When homes on the block were built, zoning was Residential R-2 which permitted single- and two-family
dwellings by right. Minimum lot size was 5,000 square feet rather than today’s 7,000 square feet within R-
1/7,000 zoning. There was not a minimum lot width in Residential R-2 zoning, while current zoning
requires a 50-foot minimum. Because of this several lots in the area do not meet existing zoning.
The existing R-1/7,000 and proposed R-1/5,000 zoning are nearly identical with the primary difference
being minimum lot size. R-1/5,000 zoning also has slightly smaller side yard setbacks (4 feet on one side
and 10 on the other vs. 6 feet on one side and 10 feet on the other in R-1/7,000). Both zones allow single-
family detached homes, with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) if enough space is available.
SR-3 zoning is designed for interior portions of blocks and is a medium-density zoning district that doesn’t
change neighborhood character. It is intended for infill development with building size, height, and
setbacks that are comparable with R-1/7,000 zoning. In addition to single-family detached dwellings, this
zone allows single-family attached, two-family, and twin-home dwellings. A table comparing the current
and proposed zones is found in Key Consideration 1 below.
The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property. 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.
Planning staff identified four key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 6-12 of
the Planning Commission staff report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the
staff report.
Consideration 1 – R-1/5,000 and SR-3 Neighborhood Compatibility
Planning staff noted that similarities between the current R-1/7,000 and SR-3 and proposed R-1/5,000
zoning districts would lead to development that is compatible with the existing neighborhood. Although
additional housing types (attached single-family, duplexes, and twin homes) could be built within the SR-3
district, the size and scale of structures would be similar to the current neighborhood development pattern.
The following table comparing zoning standards of R-1/7,000, R-1/5,000, and SR-3 districts is found on
page 6 of the Planning Commission staff report. It is replicated here for convenience. Zoning standards

that are identical across zoning districts are shaded in green.

Consideration 2 – General Plan Compatibility
Plan Salt Lake, the North Temple Boulevard Plan, and Housing SLC. Furthermore, the North Temple
Boulevard Plan (page 52) calls for infill development on the blocks between 800 and 1000 West, and 200
and 300 North.
Consideration 3 – R-1/5,000 and SR-3 Development Potential
Existing R-1/7,000 and SR-3
Consolidate the parcels and expand the house toward the back.
Consolidate the parcels and add an attached or detached ADU.
Adjust lot lines and request planned development approval to build one additional single-family
home in the back without street frontage.
Page | 6
Use affordable housing incentives to build up to four additional units in the rear of the property.
This requires 25-50% of the units to be sold or rented at an affordable level determined by City
code.
Proposed R-1/5,000 and SR-3 (assumes existing single-family home is maintained, and lot lines are
adjusted to meet 5,000 square foot minimum required under R-1/5,000.)
Build four detached single-family dwellings behind the existing home.
Build three two-family/duplex (for rent) or twin home (for sale) structures behind the existing
home (total of six additional units).
Build six attached single-family dwellings behind the existing home.
Use affordable housing or building preservation incentives to build additional units (requires
maintaining the existing home).
Consideration 4 – Community Benefit
Zoning map amendments are required to demonstrate a community benefit the rezone will provide as
outlined in Chapter 21A.50.050.C Salt Lake City code. The applicant identified Community Benefit A as
the primary benefit provided by the proposal. It reads:
Providing housing that aligns with the current of future needs of the community as determined by
the general plan. Needs could include the level of affordability in excess of the number of
dwellings that exist on the site, size in terms of number of bedrooms, or availability of housing for
purchase.
Planning staff noted feedback from Fairpark neighborhood residents expressing concerns with large
developments on North Temple, without family-sized units, next to single-family neighborhoods. It is
Planning’s opinion that the proposed infill development could help address this through additional housing
choices that would be available for purchase.
Planning staff and the Planning Commission recommended at least half of any new units would be
required to have a minimum of three bedrooms. This could be accomplished with a development
agreement and offer some assurance that the community benefit will be provided.
The applicant expressed an intention to preserve the existing home, but the City cannot require it. As
discussed above, if the Council adopts the proposed rezone, approval could include a condition that
replacement housing is provided if the home is demolished.
Analysis of Standards
Attachment F (pages 44-49) of the Planning Commission staff report outlines zoning map amendment
standards 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.
Factor Finding
Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent
with and helps implement the purposes, goals,
objectives, and policies of the city as stated through
its various adopted planning documents.
Complies
Page | 6
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 and nearby properties due to the
change in development potential and allowed uses
that do not currently apply to the property.
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.

open space, schools, fresh food, entertainment,
cultural facilities, and the ability of current and
future residents to access these amenities without
having to rely on a personal vehicle.
Complies
The potential impacts to public safety resources
created by the increase in development potential that
may result from the proposed amendment.
Complies
The potential for displacement of people who reside
in any housing that is within the boundary of the
proposed amendment and the plan offered by the
petitioner to mitigate displacement.
Complies with
conditions
The potential for displacement of any business that is
located within the boundary of the proposed
amendment and the plan offered by the petitioner to
mitigate displacement.
Complies
The community benefits that would result from the
proposed map amendment.
Complies with
conditions
City Department Review
Public Utilities clarified that utilities on Hoyt Place are public, and the road is private. They noted some
Page | 7
upgrades may be needed at the developer’s expense, and any development will need to meet the
requirements found in the code. Transportation recommended a fire truck turn-around before they would
be supportive. Other responding departments and divisions did not express opposition to the proposed
rezone.
PROJECT CHRONOLOGY

CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Salt Lake City has received a request from Bert Holland, representing the property owner, to rezone the
properties at 247 North 800 West (Parcel IDs 08354260120000 & 08354260230000) from the SR-3 and
R-1/7,000 to SR-3 Special Development Pattern Residential and R-1/5,000 Single Family Residential.
The intent of the request is to enable the owner to build small-scale housing on the land located behind
the existing home. The SR-3 zone features slightly reduced zoning standards to encourage small-scale
infill development on the interior portion of the block. The SR-3 zone allows more housing types than the
R-1/7,000 zone, such as duplexes, twin-homes, and attached single-family units.
The subject area is located in the Fairpark neighborhood and is surrounded by a variety of zoning
districts. The surrounding land uses include single-family houses, duplexes, and multi-family apartments.
The proposal to change the zoning complies with the North Temple Boulevard’s goals to promote
compatible infill development on this block.
The Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation for approval with two conditions. The
first condition requires that half of any new units be family-sized, meaning they contain at least three
bedrooms. The second condition requires the applicant to comply with the displaced tenant requirements
of Chapter 21A.50.050.D of the city code. This chapter of code requires the applicant to assist in tenant
relocation if the existing home is demolished. If the Salt Lake City Council adopts this rezone request, the
applicant would then need to submit the necessary development applications, and the project would need
to comply with all relevant regulations within the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance. Review by the
Planning Commission would be required if the applicant requests modifications to zoning regulations
through the Planned Development or Design Review processes. Since this request is not for the
development of the site, Planning staff has not reviewed any plans for compliance with applicable zoning
requirements. Materials submitted by the applicant can be found in Planning staff’s report to the Planning
Commission.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
• Early Notification: Notification of the proposal was sent to all owners and occupants of properties
located within 300 feet of the subject property on October 22, 2024.
• Fairpark Community Council: The Fairpark Community Council was notified of the proposal on
October 22, 2024.
• City Open House: A virtual open house for the proposal has been hosted on the City’s website since
October 22, 2024.
• Planning Commission Meeting: The Planning Commission held a public hearing for the proposed
rezoning on April 9, 2025. Following Planning staff’s recommendation, the commission voted to
recommend that the City Council approve the request with a vote of 5-0.

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM:Allison Rowland
Senior Budget & Policy Analyst
DATE:August 19, 2025
RE: RESOLUTION: BUILDING PERMIT FEE WAIVERS FOR ALLIANCE HOUSE AND
FIRST STEP HOUSE
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
Two new, deeply affordable housing projects have requested building permit fee waivers from the City: Alliance
House and First Step House respectively. Such waivers may be granted by the Council to non-profit
organizations under Salt Lake City Code (18.20.220), if a project provides housing priced below 80% of the area
median income. In accordance with the Code, the director of the Department of Community and Neighborhoods
(CAN), Tammy Hunsaker, has recommended that the Council adopt these requests be granted for a new 16-unit
Alliance House development located at 1805 S. Main Street in the amount of $40,366, and a new 67-unit First
Step House development is at 44 N. 1000 West.
Goal of the briefing: Discuss adopting CAN’s recommendation for building permit fee waivers for new,
deeply affordable housing projects from Alliance House and First Step House.
ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A.Background. Salt Lake City Code (18.20.220) allows non-profit organizations to request that the City
waive or defer permit fees associated with affordable housing development. This can be granted at the
discretion of the Director of the Department of Community and Neighborhoods. For these two
developments, CAN held a public hearing on March 24, 2025, after the required seven-day public notice
period. CAN’s director, Tammy Hunsaker, reviewed the applications received from Alliance House and First
Step House and recommended approval of both.
B.Project Descriptions. The Department of Community and Neighborhoods (CAN) has recommended that
the Council facilitate the development of 83 new deeply affordable housing units by adopting a resolution to
approve building permit fee waivers for Alliance House and First Step House. Both projects are consistent
Item Schedule:
Page | 2
with Salt Lake City’s Moderate Income Housing Plan (Housing SLC: 2023-2027) and the Community
Reinvestment Agency’s housing priorities. Additional information on each project is below.
1.The Alliance House project includes 16 new, deeply affordable housing units at 1805 S. Main
Street, which will open to residents in September. These one-bedroom units will be available to
households at or below 30% AMI who are part of the organization’s “evidence-based vocational
and social rehabilitation” programs. The existing Alliance House non-profit headquarters and
clubhouse nearby, at 1724 S. Main Street, will remain open as well. The new project is eligible
for a building permit fee waiver of $40,366. Schematic plans for this project can be found in
Attachment C1.
2.First Step House is developing 67 new, deeply affordable permanent supportive housing units
with on-site supportive services at 44 N. 1000 West. Construction began in March 2025 and is
scheduled for completion in August 2026. The project will consist of 63 one-bedroom units and
four two-bedroom units, all set aside for households at or below 40% AMI. The project is eligible
for a building permit fee waiver of $153,639. First Step House also owns and operates three
other permanent supportive housing facilities: Central City Apartments at 439 Denver Street;
Medina Place at 426 S. 500 East; and Stratford Apartments 177 E. 200 South. Schematic plans
for this project can be found in Attachment C2.
C.Previous City Funding for these Projects. Both Alliance House and First Step House have received
funding from the City in the past, for these or other developments.
1.Alliance House received a $500,000 loan through the Community Redevelopment Agency’s
(CRA) 2023 Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) for the 1805 Apartments project. This is a
40-year cash flow loan, at 2.5% interest, with payments starting at project stabilization
(currently expected April 1, 2026). Payments are based on actual cash flow or $19,918 annually,
whichever is less.
2.First Step House will not use any City funding for the 44 N. 1000 West project, which is a 9%
LITHC project that also qualified for funding from Utah Housing Corporation, Olene Walker
Housing Trust Fund, and Utah Office of Homeless Services. A previous First Step House
development, known as 426 Apartments (or Medina Place Apartments), at 426 South 500 East,
holds two loans through the City. The first is a 2017 HUD HOME loan for $175,000,
administered by Housing Stability, with a 20-year term and the entire principal, plus interest
accrued, due at the end of the term. The second loan, for $402,250, originated in 2018 and was
repaid in full in late 2019.
D.Additional City Waivers Or City Funding. Both projects discussed here are eligible for impact fee
waivers per City Code (18.98.060). Alliance House is exempt from these fees because its new housing will be
affordable for people at 30% or less AMI. The Division expects First Step House to request an impact fee
exemption as well, since their new development qualifies, at 40% of AMI, but they have not yet applied.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: City code 18.20.220 states that non-profit organizations may
petition the City to waive or defer permit fees for the development of affordable housing in Salt
Lake City.
The director's recommendation will be made to the city council and considered at a
public meeting. The property owner of any project(s) for which a waiver or deferral of
fees is granted shall enter into, as applicable, (1) a restrictive covenant, in a form
approved by the city attorney, against the applicable property pertaining to the affordable
housing that shall be provided at the property, or (2) a binding agreement regarding the
method in which the fee savings shall be applied to a specific housing project.”
The non-profit organizations of Alliance House and First Step House have individually
submitted applications that have been reviewed by staff and meet the requirements of the
ordinance.
Alliance House, Inc. intends to develop 16 new deeply affordable housing units, located
at 1805 S Main St, Salt Lake City, 84115. These units will be 1-bedroom units, set aside
for households at or below 30% AMI.

Budget & Policy Analyst
DATE:August 19, 2025
RE:Amended FY25-26 Annual Compensation Plan for Non-Represented Employees
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Administration is proposing several amendments to the FY25–26 Annual Compensation Plan. The
changes include policy updates to improve at operational efficiency and employee retention. Corrections
to Scrivener’s errors related to City retirement contributions are also included. Revisions include:
Holiday Scheduling for E911 Supervisors: Aligns E911 Dispatch Communications
Supervisor holiday treatment with Police sergeants and lieutenants by allowing holiday "banking"
when scheduled to work.
Vacation Leave Accrual: Updates vacation accrual policy to reflect recent changes that
support recruitment and retention.
Appointed Position Adjustments: Updates departmental transfers of appointed positions as
approved in the FY26 City Budget.
Retirement Contribution Rates: Corrects scrivener’s errors to ensure retirement rates align
with Utah Retirement System (URS) requirements; these corrections do not impact the budget.
Goal of the briefing: Prepare to consider the ordinance at the September 02, 2025, Formal Meeting. A
public hearing is not required.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to discuss the merits of picking up the full public safety employee
contributions rather than a portion of them.
2. The Council may wish to discuss if they would like to engage with State Legislators on potential
State Code changes allowing broader employer pick-up authority for general employees.
3. The Council may wish to ask the Administration if other strategies have been considered to offset
general employee contribution burdens, such as additional 401K contributions or matches.
4. The Council may wish to discuss the merits of requesting the Administration to explore policies
that achieve retirement contribution parity between public safety and general employees.
ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Page | 3
New 911 Communications Supervisor Leave Policies
There are three new policies related to 911 communications supervisors. These are similar to current
practices with Police sergeants and lieutenants.
When a City-designated holiday falls on a scheduled workday, a 911 Dispatch Communications
Supervisor may:
a. Elect to take the holiday off, subject to supervisory approval, or
b. Work the holiday and receive regular wages for the day, while designating an alternate
day off to observe the holiday.
This change allows E911 supervisors to “bank” holidays when they are otherwise scheduled to work.
Upon retirement or separation from City employment, 911 Dispatch Communications Supervisors
must be compensated for any holiday leave accrued and unused within the 12 months preceding
their departure.
a. Holiday leave accrued more than 12 months prior to the separation date is not eligible for
compensation.
Supervisors who are promoted or transferred—either within the 911 Communications Bureau or
to another City department—must be paid out at their current base pay rate for any holiday time
accrued and unused in the preceding 12 months.
Currently, employees rehired by the City without a break in service are eligible to receive prior service
credit not only for previous full-time City employment but also for full-time service with another public
jurisdiction. This prior service credit applies to vacation and personal leave accrual, short-term disability
benefits, layoff considerations, and the awarding of service awards and certificates. It does not apply to
longevity pay. Requests for prior service credit had to be submitted to the Human Resources Department
within 12 months of the employee’s most recent full-time hire date.
The proposed policy removes all references to prior service credit and instead gives the Human Resources
Department discretion to determine an employee’s years of City service for the purpose of calculating
their leave accrual rate using the City Policies and Procedures Manual. If applicable, this special accrual
rate now applies to only to vacation leave, personal leave, and short-term disability benefits. Special
accrual for layoffs and service awards have been removed. The deadline for requesting special accrual a
has also been eliminated.
The current policy will be replaced by a new policy designed to enhance the City’s recruitment efforts. It is
proposed that both full-time relevant private sector employment and prior full-time service in public
employment will be eligible for special leave accrual. This replacement policy is currently in the Attorney’s
Office for review and will be considered by the City’s policy steering committee.
These changes reflect recent appointed position transfers approved in the FY26 city budget and moves
the:
City Engineer from Public Services to Community and Neighborhood Services
Arts Division Director from Economic Development to Community and Neighborhood Services
Retirement Contribution Updates
Page | 4
The FY26 Compensation Plan included two errors related to retirement contribution rates which were not
allowed under applicable laws and URS rules:
Council Members: Restored to 4.19% (Defined Contribution) and 14.19% (Hybrid System).
Public Safety: Restored pick-up to 4.03%.
Public Safety "Pick-Up" Background
General Employee pick-up State Law Context
. Under current statute, employers must contribute 10% toward a Tier II employee’s retirement
plan but are prohibited from picking up the employee portion of contributions above that threshold.
While there have been past efforts by state legislators to allow employer pick-up of Tier II General
Employee contributions, no such authority currently exists. The most recent attempt was during the 2025
Legislative Session by Senator Wayne Harper which passed out of its Senate committee but never received
a floor vote.
Additional Retirement Benefits
Page | 5
The Salt Lake City does not provide any additional 401k retirement contributions in addition to required
URS contributions. Other municipalities in Utah employ a range of matching rates depending on
employee contribution levels.
A Note on Public Sector Retirement Systems:
Nearly all public employee pension systems nationwide require employee contributions.
Nationally, the average employee contribution is approximately 6.3% of salary for members also
participating in Social Security.
Utah has a much lower contribution requirement when compared to surrounding states.

Recommendation:
Adopt the ordinance amending the FY25-26 Annual Compensation Plan for Non-Represented Employees as proposed by the Administration.
Background/Discussion
Amendments to sections of the FY25-26 Annual Compensation Plan for Non-Represented Employees include correction of Scrivener's errors and other changes as noted below.
- Section IV – Holiday, Vacation & Leave Accrual, Subsection I - Holidays. Changes to this subsection are intended to facilitate adequate supervisor scheduling and staffing of E911's Dispatch Communications Supervisors during critical holiday periods. More speci fically, this change allows E911 supervisors to "bank" holidays when they are otherwise scheduled to work similar to Police sergeants and lieutenants.
- Section IV – Holiday, Vacation & Leave Accrual, Subsection II – Vacation Leave. Changes to this section re flect recent policy updates designed to enhance the city's overall ability to attract and retain workers by adopting cost-neutral methods used for determining accrual of employee vacation, personal leave, and short-term disability benefits.
- Appendix B – Appointed Employee by Department - Changes reflect appointed position transfers approved in the FY26 city budget to and from the Public Services and Community & Neighborhoods departments.
- Appendix D – Utah State Retirement Contributions for FY2025-2026 - Corrects Scrivener's errors to the FY2025-2026 retirement contribution rates for Tier 2 Defined Contribution and Hybrid system covered employees.

SUBSECTION III - SICK AND OTHER RELATED LEAVE OR PERSONAL LEAVE
Benefits in this section are for the purpose of income replacement for employees during
absence from work due to illness, accident, or personal reasons. Some of these absences
may qualify under the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA). Although the city
requires use of accrued paid leave prior to taking unpaid FMLA leave, employees will be
allowed to reserve up to 80 hours of non-lapsing leave as a contingency for future use by
submitting a written request to Human Resources. Employees are not eligible to earn or
receive leave benefits while on unpaid leave of absence.
However, employees on unpaid military leave of absence may be entitled to the restoration
of such leave benefits, as provided by applicable law.
Employees hired on or after November 16, 1997 receive personal leave benefits under Plan
B. All other employees receive personal leave benefits pursuant to the plan they participated
in as of November 15, 1998. Employees hired before November 16, 1997 shall receive
personal leave benefits under Plan B if they elected to do so during any city - established
election period occurring in 1998 or later.
A. Plan “A ”
1. Sick Leave
a. Sick leave is provided for full-time employees under Plan “A” as
insurance against loss of income when an employee is unable to perform
assigned duties because of illness or injury. The mayor may e stablish rules
governing the interfacing of sick leave and workers’ compensation benefits
and avoiding, to the extent allowable by law, duplicative payments.
b. Each full-time employee accrues sick leave at a rate of 4.62 hours per
pay period. For any plan year in which there are 27 pay periods, no sick
leave hours will be awarded in the 27th pay period. Authorized and unused
sick leave may be accumulated from year to year, subject to the limitations
of this plan.
1. Sick Leave Accrual for Fire Battalion Chiefs – Each covered
employee shall be entitled to 15 days of sick leave each calendar year,
except for members of the Operations division who shall be entitled to
7.5 shifts of sick leave each calendar year. The City shall credit a
covered employee’s sick leave account in a lump sum (either 15 days
or7.5 shifts) during the first month of each calendar year. Authorized
and unused sick leave may be accumulated from year to year subject to
the limitations of this plan.
19
c. Under this Plan “A,” Full-Time employees who have accumulated
240 hours of sick leave may choose to convert up to 64 hours of the sick
leave earned and unused during any given year to vacation. Any sick leave
used during the calendar year reduces the allowable conversion by an equal
amount.
1. Sick Leave Conversion for Fire Battalion Chiefs – Fire Battalion
Chiefs who have accumulated 15 shifts (for Operations employees), or
240 hours (for non-Operations employees) may choose to convert a
portion of the year sick leave grant from any given year to vacation, as
follows—
Number of Sick Leave Shifts
Used During Previous Calendar
Year (Operations Only)
Number of Sick Leave Shifts
Available for Conversion
(Operations Only)
No shifts used 5 shifts
One shift used 4 shifts
Two shifts used 3 shifts
Three shifts used 2 shifts
Four shifts used 1 shift
Five or more shifts used No shifts
Number of Sick Leave Shifts
Used During Previous Calendar
Year (Support Only)
Number of Sick Leave Shifts
Available for Conversion
(Support Only)
No days used 9 days
One day used 8 days
Two days used 7 days
Three days used 6 days
Four days used 5 days
Five or more days used 0 days
d. Conversion at the maximum allowable hours will be made unless the
employee elects otherwise. Any election by an employee for no conversion,
or to convert less than the maximum allowable sick leave hours to vacation
time, must be made by notifying the employee’s department timekeeper or
the city payroll administrator, in writing, not later than the second pay period
of the new calendar year (or the November vacation draw for Fire Battalion
Chiefs). Otherwise, the opportunity to waive conversion or elect conversion
other than the maximum allowable amount will be deemed waived for that
calendar year. In no event may sick leave days be converted from other than
the current year's sick leave allocation.
e. Any sick leave hours, properly converted to vacation benefits as
above described, must be taken before any other vacation hours to which the
employee is entitled; however, in no event is an employee, upon the
employee’s separation from employment, entitled to any pay or
compensation for any sick leave converted to vacation. An employee
20
forfeits any sick leave converted to vacation remaining unused at the date of
separation from employment.
f. Sick Leave Benefits Upon Layoff. Employees who are subject to
layoff because of lack of work or lack of funds will be paid at 100% of their
hourly base wage rate as of the date of termination for each accumulated
unused sick leave hour.

of income when an employee is unable to perform assigned duties because of
scheduled surgical procedures, urgent medical treatment, or hospital
inpatient admission.
b. Employees are entitled to 30 days of hospitalization leave each
calendar year. Hospitalization leave does not accumulate from year to year.
Employees may not convert hospitalization leave to vacation or any other
leave, nor may they convert hospitalization leave to any additional benefit at
time of retirement.
c. Employees who are unable to perform their duties during a shift due
to preparations (such as fasting, rest, or ingestion of medicine), for a
scheduled surgical procedure, may report the absence from the affected shift
as hospitalization leave, with the prior approval of their division head or
supervisor.
d. An employee who must receive urgent medical treatment at a
hospital, emergency room, or acute care facility, and who is regularly
scheduled for work or unable to perform their duties during a shift (or
workday) due to urgent medical treatment, may report the absence from the
affected shift as hospitalization leave. Similarly, an employee who is absent
from work while on approved leave is also allowed to claim hospitalization
leave.
1. An employee who wishes to claim hospitalization leave is responsible
to report the receipt of urgent medical treatment to the employee’s
division head or supervisor as soon as practical.
2. For purposes of use of hospitalization leave, urgent medical
treatment includes at-home care directed by a physician immediately
after the urgent medical treatment and within the affected shift.
e. Employees who, because they are admitted as an inpatient to a hospital
for medical treatment, are unable to perform their duties, may report the
absence from duty while in the hospital as hospitalization leave.
21
f. Medical treatment consisting exclusively or primarily of post -injury
rehabilitation or therapy treatment, whether conducted in a hospital or other
medical facility, shall not be counted as hospitalization leave.
g. An employee requesting hospitalization leave under this section may
be required to provide verification of treatment or care from a competent

c. The following provisions apply to the use of dependent leave by a
full-time employee:

2. If an employee has available unused sick leave, sick leave may be
used as dependent leave.

as soon as possible.
4. Upon request of a supervisor, an employee will be required to
provide a copy of a birth certificate or evidence of child placement for

SALT LAKE CITY BOARD MEMBER APPOINTMENT
To:
Salt Lake City Council Chair Submission Date:
06/24/2025
Date Sent To Council:
06/25/2025
From:
Otto, Rachel
Subject: Board Appointment Recommendation: Library Board
Recommendation:
The Administration recommends the Council approve the appointment of Charlotte Dubiel to the Library Board for a 3 year term starting on
the date of City Council advice and consent and ending on June 30th.
Approved:*
Otto, Rachel
City Council Announcements
Information Needed:
A. Metro Water District Board Vacancy Announcement
The Metro Water Board includes five Council-appointed trustees. One of our
appointed trustees, Joan Degiorgio, will complete her term at the end of this year,
with her final board meeting scheduled for December 15th. We're asking Council
Members to consider whether you have recommendations for qualified
candidates who might be interested in serving. This vacancy will be publicly
noticed, so any member of the public can apply for consideration.
Please provide any candidate recommendations to staff.
B. Citizen Compensation Advisory Committee
The City's Citizens Compensation Advisory Committee includes three
appointments handled by the Council outside of the typical advice and consent
process. One of the Council's appointees, Jeff Worthington, has come to the end
of their second term as of August 31, 2025. The Human Resource Division has
provided Council staff with the names of five potential applicants. Staff will
contact the potential applicants to ask if they are interested in serving on the
CCAC.
Are two or three Council Members interested in serving on the
subcommittee for both the CCAC and Metro Water boards?
C. Boards and Commissions Term Limit
There has been confusion with the City code regarding the Boards &
Commissions term limits. The practice has been that someone can fill a vacancy
by serving a partial term and that it would not count toward the two-term limit.
Is the Council supportive of making this possible for an existing CCAC
member? This would require an ordinance change.
Would the Council be interested in making a change to the ordinance for
all City commissions and boards?
