Work Session Items
1.Ordinance: Community Clean Energy Program ~ 4:00 p.m.
20 min.
The Council will receive a briefing about a proposal that would enact Title 9, Chapter 50
to the Salt Lake City Code, establishing participation in the Community Clean Energy
program, formally known as Utah Renewable Communities. The proposal would provide
a new opportunity for nearly all homes and businesses within the City to choose clean
energy through their Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) bill. Customers will be automatically
enrolled in the program, with the option to opt out. If customers choose to stay enrolled
in the program, a new fee will appear on their RMP bill.

The Council will receive a briefing about a proposal that would amend various sections of
the Salt Lake City Code relating to camping on public grounds, streets, parks, and
playgrounds, park hours, disposing of unclaimed property, and obstructing sidewalks.
The proposal would introduce an updated definition of what constitutes camping and
consolidate and clarify the use and obstruction of public spaces and rights of way to
reduce confusion and ensure proper enforcement.

3.Ordinance: Master Plan and Zoning Map Amendment at
Approximately 346, 350, 354, and 370 South 800 East, and 775
East 400 South
~ 4:50 p.m.
20 min.
The Council will receive a briefing about a proposal that would amend the zoning of the
properties at approximately 346, 350, 354 South 800 East from RMF-35 (Moderate
Density Residential Multi-Family) to MU-5 (Mixed Use 5). The proposal would also
amend the Central Community Plan Future Land Use Map of the properties at
approximately 346, 350, 354, 370 South 800 East and 775 East 400 South from Medium
Density Residential (15-30 dwelling units/acre) and Medium Density Transit Oriented
Development (10-50 dwelling units/acre) to High Density Transit Oriented Development
(50 or more dwelling units/acre). The proposed amendments would allow the
construction of a mixed-use building encompassing 109 total residential units and
ground-floor commercial space, which includes 2-,3- and 4- bedroom units. The
properties currently contain three existing residential buildings, including seven
apartment units. Consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning
district with similar characteristics. The Planning Commission forwarded a positive
recommendation to amend the Zoning Map, and recommended that the Council deny
the amendment to the Central City Community Future Land Use Map. In addition to the
requested amendments, the applicant is seeking design review approval to exceed the
maximum building façade length of 200 feet, which the Planning Commission will
reconsider after the Council takes action on this proposal. The project is within Council
District 4. Petitioner: Sean Thompson, representing the property owner Hardage
Hospitality.

Future Housing Programs Follow-Up
~ 6:00 p.m.
20 min.
The Council will receive a follow-up briefing on recommendations for allocating grant
funding provided through four Federal Housing and Urban Development Department
(HUD) programs and the City's Funding Our Future (FOF) housing programs. The
funding is allocated by the Council on a competitive basis to organizations which are
mostly local non-profits that specialize in providing services to the City’s most
economically vulnerable residents. For Fiscal Year 2026-27, approximately $11.3 million
dollars is expected to flow through the Division of Housing Stability to the organizations
eligible to receive grant funding. The HUD programs that provide this funding and
oversee activities of grant recipients are: Community Development Block Grants (CDBG),
Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), the HOME Investment Partnership Program, and
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). City housing programs are
funded from the local sales tax increment known as Funding Our Future.

DATE:April 14, 2026
RE:ORDINANCE – COMMUNITY CLEAN ENERGY PROGRAM
New information obtained since the 12/09/2025 briefing has been added in blue.
The Council is being asked to consider an ordinance to formally enroll Salt Lake City as a participating
community in the Community Clean Energy Program. This step isrequired under state law and the recently
released Public Service Commission (PSC) approval order when the Community Clean Energy Program was
approved. The March 4, 2026 approval started a 90-day clock for communities to adopt program participation
ordinances. Salt Lake City must decide by June 2, 2026 whether to adopt an ordinance to participate in the
Community Clean Energy program, informally known as Utah Renewable Communities. This would
automatically enroll most residents and businesses in a new renewable energy program on an opt-out basis,
costing about $4/month for residential customers. If the Council does not take action, the City would be
removed from the program and it would not be available locally. (Due to the size of the City, it would also
negatively affect the program in other cities.)
A Public Hearing for this item has been scheduled for 04/21/2026 prior to the Council’s vote to enroll. Once the
sixteen cities take action on whether to enroll, several system changes will be initiated by Rocky Mountain
Power.
Additionally, the program requires budget support in two ways:
Reimbursable upfront “startup costs” (estimated at approximately $820,000, plus contingency)
are required to enable Rocky Mountain Power’s billing and customer systems. Rocky Mountain
Power will initially fund these costs but requires at least one participating community to backstop
the expenses through a contractual agreement in the event that program revenues do not fully
reimburse the utility after launch.
o The City proposes to allocate funds to the Department of Sustainability to serve as this
backstop, allowing the program to move forward for the benefit of all participating
Schedule:

communities. These funds would be held and only used if necessary. Based on participation estimates,
Sustainability anticipates that startup costs will be fully recovered through ratepayer revenues within the first
few months of operation (early 2027) and this City holding account will not be needed. If those estimates and
Rocky Mountain Power’s costs are recovered, the City’s contractual obligation would end and the funds would no
longer be needed.
Mailing expenses of about $156,000 that would be paid to Rocky Mountain Power. This would not
be reimbursed. (These funds have already been budgeted throughout the years by Sustainability.)
POLICY QUESTIONS
ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
What the Ordinance Does
The ordinance outlines the main rules and structure of the program, including:
Salt Lake City officially joining the program as a participating community.
Allowing most electricity customers within current and future city boundaries to participate.
Defining when the program starts, including the “Implementation Date” when customer notices are first
sent.
Explaining that customers will be automatically enrolled unless they opt out by the deadline in the
notices.
Allowing customers who are not enrolled to opt in later if they choose.
Setting rules for termination fees if customers leave the program after the initial no-fee period, and
identifying cases where fees would not apply.
Describing how new clean energy resources will be selected and approved.
Confirming that the PSC sets and adjusts program rates, and that Rocky Mountain Power is responsible
for billing customers and notifying them of any changes.
Continuing to work with other communities on decisions about clean energy projects and program
operations.
Following through on the Utility Agreement with Rocky Mountain Power, which is required to operate
the program.
Reimbursing Rocky Mountain Power for the cost of sending required customer notices.
Page | 3
o This is estimated to cost $156,000. Sustainability has budgeted for this expense over several
years and it will be included in their FY27 budget
Recognizing that the City along with all other participating communities have already contributed
funding to reimburse state agencies for third-party expertise to help develop the program.
o SLC appropriated funds totaling $385,966.47 in Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023 to the Agency’s
budget.
Onetime SLC budget impact
Before the program can begin, Rocky Mountain Power must complete several required “startup” activities. These
include upgrading billing systems so the new program charge can appear on customer bills, setting up customer
service support (such as a call line), and creating systems that allow customers to opt out and apply any required
fees. These steps are necessary to launch the program, but they must be completed before any program revenue
can be collected.
The total estimated cost for these startup activities is about $820,000, plus a 10% contingency. Because the
program cannot collect revenue until it is fully set up, these costs must be covered upfront. Rocky Mountain
Power will pay for these upfront, but requires at least one community to backstop the expenses by signing a
contract in the case that RMP is not fully reimbursed through program revenues after the program begins. The
City is proposing to act as this backstop so the program can move forward and meet required timelines.
Program revenues are expected to begin in early 2027 and are expected to generate significant monthly revenue.
Based on current estimates, the full startup cost could be recovered by RMP within the first month or shortly
after the program begins collecting revenue. The City is currently in discussions with other participating
communities about sharing in these costs if needed. Overall, while the City would take on short-term financial
responsibility to launch the program, the long-term financial risk is expected to be low, and funds may only need
to be held temporarily rather than be paid to RMP in the case the startup cost contract is triggered.
How will this impact residents
The Community Clean Energy Program is set up as an opt-out program, which means most customers will be
automatically enrolled until they choose to leave. After customers are notified, there will be a period when they
can opt out for free. After that period ends, a fee will apply if they decide to leave the program.
Based on current participation assumptions, the program is expected to cost approximately $4 per month for
most residential customers. Income-qualified residents will not pay this cost, as they will receive a credit that
fully offsets the monthly charge.
The program is expected to begin sending customer notices in late 2026, with billing starting in early 2027 once
implementation is complete. Current planning assumes that about 40% of eligible Rocky Mountain Power
customers will participate. If participation is lower than projected, the program is designed to adjust by building
out resources more gradually or by starting with a lower-cost renewable project, rather than by increasing
customer rates. These conservative assumptions are already reflected in the program’s initial procurement
approach. If participation exceeds projections, the program will be able to build more resources and do so more
quickly.
Noticing and timeline
Customers will be notified about the program before it begins. The first notice is expected to be sent in
November or December 2026. This notice will be mailed and will inform customers that the program is being
implemented and that they will be enrolled unless they choose to opt out.
A second notice will be sent about 15 days after the first notice. This follow-up notice may be mailed or sent
digitally, depending on the customer’s pre-existing communication preferences. These notices are meant to give
customers clear information about the program and time to decide whether they want to participate.
Page | 4
The City is required to cover the cost of sending these notices. The Sustainability Department has budgeted
about $156,000 to reimburse Rocky Mountain Power for this work.

An estimated timeline is below.

The following information was provided for the December 9, 2025 briefing.
Utah Renewable Communities (URC) is a partnership of 19 Utah cities and counties working together to offer
residents and businesses access to net-100% clean electricity by 2030. Formed under the state’s Community
Clean Energy Act, URC collaborates with Rocky Mountain Power to design and implement a voluntary clean-
energy program that matches participants’ annual electricity use with an equivalent amount of renewable
energy. The clean power used for the program will come from a mix of existing renewable resources on the
PacifiCorp grid and new projects built specifically for URC customers. Participating customers will remain
Rocky Mountain Power customers, and the utility will continue to provide reliable service regardless of whether
a customer joins the program.
The City has been supportive of this program since 2019 through the passing of various resolutions and
contributing financially to the URC budget for program development and implementation costs.
The next step for program implementation is for the Public Services Commission (PSC) to review the Program
Application at a hearing. This hearing is scheduled for December 16, 2025, after which a decision is anticipated
as early as January 2026. If approved, eligible communities will have 90 days after the PSC’s approval to adopt
the participation program ordinance. Currently, if timelines continue to unfold as expected, URC could begin
collecting ratepayer revenue as soon as November of 2026.
If Salt Lake City adopts a participation program ordinance, customers will be automatically enrolled, with the
option to opt out at no cost during an initial cancellation period. If a customer opts out at a later period, a
termination fee would apply. The URC’s goal is to limit the average household bill increase to no more than $3–
$4 per month. To protect low-income customers, the program offers a monthly bill credit of up to $7 and will
waive termination fees for those enrolled in Rocky Mountain Power’s Schedule 3 HELP program, with the credit
funded by a charge up to $0.70 per month on other participating customers.
Goal of the briefing: This briefing is informational only. Following the PSC hearing, if the PSC adopts the
Program Application, the Administration will prepare a transmittal for the Council to consider a participation
program ordinance.
6. The Council may wish to discuss how they may want to customize the Program Ordinance recitals to
reflect Salt Lake City’s energy commitments and policy direction.
7. The Council may wish to ask the administration how many participants are needed to maintain the
projected average bill increase of $3–$4 per month for participating households.
o What would happen to rates if there are not enough participants?
o Should the City advocate for additional mitigation measures if actual costs exceed projections?
8. If a resident currently participates in the BlueSky program, is it anticipated they would leave that to
participate in the URC program?
9. The Council may wish to discuss with the Administration what engagement and education efforts they
might be planning to ensure Salt Lake City residents have as much notice as possible before a potential
RMP fee increase, including the reasoning for that increase, and the timeline.
Below is an annotated history of legislative actions taken by the City Council regarding URC:
The Council adopted a joint resolution adopting two renewable energy goals.:
1. 50% renewable energy for municipal operations by 2020
2. 100% renewable energy for both municipal operations and the community by 2032
Page | 6
2019
The Council adopted a joint resolution advancing its community goal to 100% net renewable electricity by 2030
which qualified the City to participate in URC.
The Council approved a total of $550,000 over FY22 and FY23 to cover the City's share of program
developments costs as required by state statute. The actual expense over FY22 and FY23 was approximately
$386,000.
The Council approved a resolution endorsing the continued participation in the development of the URC
program and authorized the Mayor to sign the Utility Agreement with other participating communities.
Once the program launches, all Rocky Mountain Power customers located in jurisdictions that adopt Program
Ordinances will be automatically enrolled, consistent with provisions in state law allowing customers to opt out
at any time.
The Agency’s target is to limit the average household bill increase to no more than $3–$4 per month. Customers
may opt out at no cost during an initial 100-day cancellation period, which begins when the URC charges first
appear on their bills. After that window closes, a termination fee will apply for those who choose to leave the
program. The cancelation fee is currently proposed to be $30 for residential customers.
To protect households with limited financial resources, the program includes the below low-income customer
provisions:
Proactive outreach and engagement,
Monthly bill credit of up to $7, and
Waived termination fees for those who decide to opt out after the initial cancellation period.
These protections apply to customers enrolled in Rocky Mountain Power’s Schedule 3 Home Electric Lifeline
Plan (HELP). To qualify for the HELP program, customers must be at or below the 150% of Federal Poverty
Levels.
The low-income bill credit is funded by customers participating in the clean energy program who are not
enrolled in Schedule 3. These non-HELP customers will contribute up to $0.70 per month to support income-
qualified households.
The program ordinance may be modified to tailor certain components to better reflect local priorities and align
with City Code. We are prohibited from modifying the overarching parameters of the statewide Program
Ordinance without coordination with other URC communities and PSC review/approval.
The draft Program Ordinance filed with the PSC consists of two parts: (1) a recitals section and (2) the ordinance
itself. Of these, the recitals section provides the greatest flexibility for customization.
The recitals can be expanded to incorporate additional “whereas” statements that highlight Salt Lake City’s
climate and energy commitments, articulate the City’s rationale for participating in the URC program, and
reinforce the City’s long-standing pursuit of clean energy goals. Although state law no longer requires
participating communities to adopt a resolution stating a goal of achieving 100% renewable electricity by 2030,
the Administration has noted that continuing to include such language would emphasize the City’s enduring
commitment to renewable energy.
Page | 7
Modifications to the ordinance section itself should be limited to changes necessary to conform with Salt Lake
City’s code conventions, such as numbering and formatting. The Administration is evaluating potential
adjustments to Sections 7.3 - 7.5 of the draft ordinance to clarify that the City is responsible for paying noticing
costs for all customers within Salt Lake City, while removing references to fund appropriations since
appropriations are handled through the City’s budget process.
Council Participation in the PSC Hearing
Next Steps Outline
1 During this time period, they may opt out at no cost. After this period concludes, customers may still
opt-out of the program but would be subject to a termination fee currently proposed at $30 for residential
accounts.
ATTACHMENTS
1 In its testimony in the Program Application docket, URC proposed an even longer no-fee cancelation window of 6 months to the PSC to
help ensure that participants have ample time to consider opting out after program-related bill impacts begin. The PSC will ultimately decide
the actual duration of the cancelation period as per R746-314-101(3) and subject to statutory requirements.

Community Clean Energy Program
Ordinance 9.50: Community Clean Energy Program
April 14, 2026 -Sophia Nicholas and Glade Sowards, Department of Sustainability
The 19 communities involved in this effort adopted “Utah Renewable
Communities” (URC) as an informal name for this work. It should be noted that
the formal name of the program is the Community Clean Energy Program. We
are moving toward using “URC” for the agency and not the program.
•The Community Clean Energy Program is a brand new program giving Rocky
Mountain Power customers in eligible communities the ability to choose clean,
reliable, affordable energy
•The Community Clean Energy Program has been thoughtfully designed since 2019
through a partnership between RMP and the URC --of which Salt Lake City is a
member
•The program was approved by the Utah Public Service Commission (PSC) on
March 4, 2026
•If we adopt the program by enacting the ordinance, all eligible RMP customers in
SLC will have a new option for choosing clean energy through their power bill and
will be automatically enrolled in 2027 with the choice to exit at any time.
About the program
Why develop this new clean energy option?
•Solutions: By investing in clean energy, the program will
help meet Utah’s growing energy needs while keeping
power reliable and the air cleaner
•Scale:we have a unique opportunity to drive investment in
new clean energy at scale since URC
communities represent about 25% of RMP's electricity
sales in Utah
•Choice:the program offers homes and businesses in our
communities a new option for where their electricity comes
from through RMP
•Investment:clean energy investment supports jobs and
economies, often in rural areas
•Health and environment:clean energy helps to avoid
pollution from other energy sources
What will the proposed program look like
for customers?
•Program customers remain RMP customers receiving reliable
power
•Program customers will receive notices in late 2026 and will be
automatically enrolled in the program in early 2027 with the
choice to opt out
•There will be no cost to opt out initially, after that, there will be
a fee to terminate participation
•New clean energy line item (“Schedule 100”) on bills
Cost to participate
& credit if low-
income

about the
program
ELECTRIC
BILL
•On March 4th, the PSC issued an order approving the Community Clean Energy Program
•The order addressed key details like the initial program rate and customer opt out details, while
leaving other items for a follow-up ruling
•What does this mean?
•The order allows the Community Clean Energy Program to move forward!
•The 90-day clock for communities to consider the ordinance has begun (until June 2)
•While the program is readied for launch, the URC board and support staff and RMP will
continue collaborating with the other Parties* in the docket to propose solutions to remaining
items
•At the same time, URC and RMP will conduct negotiations with clean energy developers
towards executing a contract for the first URC program resource(s)

Without the program, their total RMP bill is $847.39 for the month
With the program, the bill is an additional $42.02 for a total of $889.41, a ~5% increase
•Like all utility rates, the rates for the Community Clean Energy Program will be
periodically adjusted and communicated accordingly
•Adjustments will occur no more than annually per the statute
•The PSC order says the following:
Program rates: long term
"While future Program rates may diverge from those under RMP’s
proposal contingent on later determinations regarding Resource Valuation
and changes to other underlying variables,no evidence in the record
suggests that Program rates are likely to meaningfully increase from
the initial rates approved in this order.Instead,under RMP’s
proposal,they would decrease rather significantly after the first two

●Blue Sky allows participants to voluntarily contribute $1.95 per 100 kWh “block” or 1.95 cents per kWh to
support renewable energy by:
○Supporting grants to help organizations offset the cost of rooftop solar and
○Fund the purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs) nationwide
●Subscriber Solar offers shares in an existing 20 MW solar farm in Southern Utah. Participation is capped
and RMP has not indicated they plan to build more projects for this program
●Customers with the resources that own their home or business can install rooftop solar. Doing so supports
renewable energy growth and can directly lower monthly bills by producing at least a portion of the electricity
used by the home or business
By supporting the development of large-scale, new, and regionally based clean energy projects, the
Community Clean Energy Program can create impact that is unique to other clean energy options.
•Per Community Clean Energy Act and Utah Code §54-17-903(3) governing the program:
“an eligible community identified in the application must pass an ordinance…in order
to become a participating community” and “the local ordinance…shall be adopted by
the municipality or county within 90 days after the date of the commission order
approving the community clean energy program”
•Therefore, Salt Lake City and the other 18 URC members have until June 2 to adopt the
ordinance if we want to enact the approved program within our boundaries
Ordinance requirement
Startup Cost Agreement
There is a lot of conservativism built into the overall program and renewable energy acquisition. All
program costs will be paid for by participants, including ongoing administrative costs.
However, one outstanding issue: Administrative startup costs necessary to collect program revenue . . .
incurred by RMP before program begins collecting revenue.
Will be reimbursed through program revenues in 1 -2 months, but a contractual backstop is required.
The Sustainability Department is making a budget request in Budget Amendment 5 to “hold” these funds
of ~$900,000 to enable SLC to sign a Startup Cost Agreement with RMP which is necessary for the
program to launch.
Other URC communities are also being asked to consider signing separate agreements with Salt Lake
City to assist in covering Startup Costs if sufficient revenue isn't collected.
Very low risk if a reasonable number of communities adopt program ordinance
Program revenues should be large, and Startup Cost reimbursement is first in order of payment
•As part of RMP’s service territory, Salt Lake City’s options for supporting clean energy through the
utility are limited. The Community Clean Energy Program has been designed to provide a new choice
for all homes and businesses to choose clean energy through RMP by supporting clean energy
development at scale.
•Working to support clean energy aligns with Salt Lake City’s mission of promoting the health, safety,
and welfare of the community at large.
•Ordinance 9.50 is available for the Salt Lake City Council to discuss and consider adopting
•If the City adopts the ordinance, we will officially bring the Community Clean Energy Program to
our community, and we will continue to be part of the URC board, collaborating with RMP to
launch and operate the program
•If we do not adopt the ordinance, the Community Clean Energy Program will not be an option for
our community, and we will no longer be part of the URC board

Community Clean Energy Program Ordinance
Background/Discussion
Summary of Key Points
• With the adoption of Salt Lake City’s net-100% renewable electricity goal in 2016 1, we began
working with Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) and other communities to pass legislation in 2019 to
facilitate that goal. The passage of HB 411 permitted communities to negotiate a proposed clean
energy program with RMP to develop renewable energy resources to serve customers within the
communities’ boundaries.
• Salt Lake City has been involved in a joint cooperative effort with 18 other communities,
informally called the Utah Renewable Communities (URC), to develop a Community Clean Energy
Program (Program) pursuant to the 2019 legislation.
• The Program was submitted to the Public Service Commission of Utah (PSC) and was approved,
with minor modifications, on March 4, 2026. Following the recent PSC approval, all 19
communities involved have to determine whether to enact the Program within our respective
boundaries by adopting the program ordinance.
• The ordinance adoption process runs 90 days from the PSC order, meaning the ordinance must
be adopted no later than June 2, 2026, for Salt Lake City to participate.
• The Community Clean Energy Program, should Salt Lake City choose to enact it, will provide a
new opportunity for nearly all homes and businesses within Salt Lake City to choose clean
energy through their RMP bill. A new line item will be added to customer RMP bills to support
the investment in clean energy, with the option for customers to exit at any time.
• The Program is still several months from kicking off. We expect customers to see notices by the
end of 2026 and the new URC clean energy line item on their bill in early 2027 (at the earliest).
• The initial residential rate set by the PSC is $4 per month.
• Income-eligible customers can receive a bill credit, enabling them to participate for free.
• The Program directly supports the addition of new, utility-scale clean energy to the PacifiCorp
grid, and is distinct from other clean energy offerings.
• The Community Clean Energy Program ordinance is forthcoming for the Salt Lake City Council to
discuss and consider adopting.
o If Salt Lake City adopts the ordinance, it will officially bring the Community Clean Energy
Program to our community and Salt Lake City will continue to be part of the URC Agency,
collaborating with RMP to launch and operate the program.
o If Salt Lake City does not adopt the ordinance, the Community Clean Energy Program will
not be an option for our community and we will no longer be part of the URC Agency.
1 Joint Resolution 33 of 2016.

Legislative Background
During the 2019 General Session, the Utah State Legislature passed and the Governor signed HB 411, the
Community Renewable Energy Act (Act)2, Utah Code Ann. §§ 54-17-901 to 909 3. The Act created a
pathway for communities to work together to establish a community clean energy program in
partnership with Rocky Mountain Power (RMP), a subsidiary of PacifiCorp, for residents and businesses
in participating communities. The Rules Governing the Community Renewable Energy Program (Rules),
Utah Administrative Code R746-314 4, were also adopted in 2019 by the Utah Public Service Commission
(PSC) to implement the Act. The Act and associated Rules outline a process whereby interested
communities could work with RMP to develop a Program Application that the utility could file with the
PSC on behalf of those communities. This effort and program is more frequently called the Utah
Renewable Communities (URC). State Code was amended in 2024 5, changing the name to “Community
Clean Energy Act”, among other changes. During the 2026 session, additional amendments to this
section of code were adopted by the State legislature under HB 238 6, which is pending the Governor’s
signature. HB 238 adds specific noticing and opt-out features. These changes are not anticipated to have
significant impact on the Program.
Communities’ Involvement
To pursue this opportunity, and as contemplated by the Act, 23 Utah communities established clean
energy goals, taking the first step towards participating in the effort to jointly design a proposed program
in partnership with RMP. Eighteen of the original 23 interested communities continued participating by
entering into the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement Among Public Entities Regarding the Community
Renewable Energy Program (ILA), creating a cooperative of communities called the Community
Renewable Energy Agency (Agency, known informally as URC), to jointly make decisions and negotiate
with RMP to create the proposed program. Midvale City joined the Agency in 2024, bringing the total
number of eligible communities to 19, following a change to the enabling legislation which removed the
requirement that a community adopt a clean energy goal before December 31, 2019, in order to be
eligible to participate.
Each community appoints a primary and alternate board member to the Agency, one of whom should be
an elected official. Council Member Dan Dugan represents Salt Lake City on the Agency board and serves
as the chair.
Three subcommittees were formed by the URC in 2021 to advance program development: the Program
Design, Low-Income Plan, and Communications subcommittees. Board members and support staff from
URC communities have worked diligently and thoughtfully since 2021 to design the proposed program
for submission to the PSC, working closely with the Agency’s legal and technical consultants to negotiate

with RMP. Salt Lake City staff have played key roles on all three subcommittees, including leading the
Program Design work over the years.
What is the Goal of the Program?
The goal of the Program is to drive the development of clean, renewable energy resources like solar and
wind energy on our grid that would not have been developed otherwise, while keeping the Program
affordable and accessible to customers. Ultimately, the target is to develop enough renewable resources
to match the amount of electricity used annually by Program participants.
While a community is no longer required by state law to have a net-100% renewable electricity goal to
have joined the Agency, the Board still aims to push for making net-100% renewable electricity available
to homes and businesses in participating communities by 2030; however, this target may be adjusted
over time.
PacifiCorp is RMP's parent company whose grid serves six states7, including Utah. The clean energy
counting towards the Program is proposed to come from both existing clean energy on the grid plus new
clean energy projects the Program brings to the grid. These resources are and will be part of the
PacifiCorp grid.
The Program has been developed and will be implemented in collaboration with RMP, and all URC
participants will remain RMP customers. RMP will continue to be required to provide reliable power to
all customers, regardless of a customer’s URC participation status.
Program Approval by the Utah Public Service Commission
As described by step 5 in Attachment A, the Act and Rules required that the proposed program be filed
by RMP with the PSC. Following years of careful work and negotiations between the URC and RMP, on
January 24, 2025, and June 4, 2025, RMP submitted parts I and II, respectively, of a two-part Application
to Implement Community Clean Energy Program Authorized by the Community Clean Energy Act (Docket
25-035-06 8).
As required by the Act, the Program Application included, among other items, information about the
customers within the boundaries of the participating communities, projected rates under the proposed
program, a Utility Agreement between each participating community and RMP, low-income plans for
each community, a draft ordinance that establishes an eligible community’s participation in the proposed
program, and more. Rounds of direct, rebuttal, and surrebuttal testimony followed. The process
concluded with a technical hearing and public witness hearing in front of the Utah Public Service
Commission on December 16 and 17, 2025. The Parties to the docket are: RMP, URC, the Division of
Public Utilities (DPU), the Office of Consumer Services (OCS), Western Resource Advocates, and the
Sierra Club. Each party participated in the rounds of testimony and the hearing.
7 In February 2025, PacifiCorp announced their plans to exit Washington, which will reduce the number of states
they operate in to five in the coming years: https://www.pacificorp.com/about/newsroom/news-
releases/pacificorp-to-sell-washington-service-area-to-pge.html
8 Docket No: 25-034-06 on the PSC website: https://psc.utah.gov/2025/01/25/docket-no-25-035-06/
4
On March 4, 2026, a significant milestone was achieved when the Utah Public Service Commission issued
an Order9 in Docket 25-035-06 (“Order”) approving the proposed program with modifications. The PSC
ruling was generally favorable toward the proposed program and the URC communities’ interests and
provides clarity on how the Program will work, the initial cost to participate, and more. However, the PSC
did not resolve every dispute URC and RMP raised in the docket. For unresolved items, the Order
provided guidance and clear action items for the communities and RMP to move forward. The main
issues that still need to be addressed are the resource valuation methodology that considers the
financial benefit the new resources bring to non-URC customers, as well as the first resource(s) contract
which is called a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). These are discussed in more detail below, in the
section “Additional URC Agency Processes.”
Ordinance Timeline
The PSC approval of the Program on March 4, 2026, set off the 90-day ordinance adoption window, as
required by the Act. Each URC community has until June 2, 2026, to pass the required ordinance to
formally adopt the Program. Given the Salt Lake City Council’s schedule of public hearings and current
workload, we recommend targeting the May 19 formal meeting to adopt the ordinance.
In October 2022, the Department submitted an informational transmittal to City Council seeking
feedback on the draft model ordinance. The version submitted as part of the Program Application was
shared with the Council in October 2025.
The ordinance has changed moderately from the last version shared. After the Order, the Agency’s legal
counsel updated parts of the ordinance to fully comply with the Order and these redlines were shared
with the communities’ legal counsels. It is important that the ordinance remain largely unchanged;
particularly the “therefore” clauses and Exhibit A. This is because the ordinance draft submitted to the
PSC as part of the Program Application was meant to be indicative of the ordinances to be adopted,
pursuant to the Act. Furthermore, the ordinances should remain consistent between the participating
communities. The Sustainability Department has updated key “whereas” sections to reflect Salt Lake
City’s climate and sustainability goals.
Program Details
Customer participation and opt-out
The Program was established under the Act as an “opt-out” program, meaning that every eligible RMP
customer in a community participating in the Program will be automatically enrolled with the option to
exit at any time. Customers in these communities will see a new Community Clean Energy Program line
item (“Schedule 100”) on their RMP bills as early as the first quarter of 2027 (See Attachment C). The
new line item will only appear after certain additional processes by the Agency and RMP are completed
and approved by the PSC.
This means that if Salt Lake City adopts the ordinance, nearly all RMP customers in our community will
be automatically enrolled when the Program commences, likely not until early 2027, with the choice to
9 March 4, 2026 Order: https://pscdocs.utah.gov/electric/25docs/2503506/3441662503506oapwm3-4-2026.pdf
5
opt out. Customers will be able to exit the Program at any time. There will be an initial “cancellation
period” whereby customers exiting the Program can do so without incurring a termination fee. After the
“cancellation period,” customers can still exit at any time but will be subject to a termination fee. The
termination fees are outlined in Attachment B.
Initial Program rates
One of the most significant outcomes of the Order is the establishment of the initial Program rate. The
Order established an initial residential flat rate totaling $4 per month ($3.88 per month plus a $0.12
low-income program surcharge). This amount is in line with the Agency’s targeted dollar amount to keep
the Program affordable and accessible to customers.
The low-income proposal from the Agency was also approved by the PSC. Income-qualified residents
who are on Schedule 3 (RMP’s Home Electric Lifeline Program, or HELP) will see a monthly rate of $3.88
which would be matched by a $3.88 credit on their bill, making the Program free for these customers.
For all other (non-residential) customer classes, the PSC approved a volumetric rate of $0.00609 per
kWh and a low-income surcharge of $0.12 per month. Bill impacts for these commercial customers will
depend on how much electricity they use each month.
Program rates over time
Rates will be adjusted periodically (not more than annually) to account for actual customer participation,
annual administrative cost true-ups, and the Program valuation and resource costs. Regular rate
adjustments happen with all other utility ratemaking and are not unique to the Program. It is not
expected that future URC rates will increase significantly from the initial Program rate. Importantly, the
PSC in its Order recognized that future rates may even decline as the required administrative and
resource reserve funds are established. Page 24 of the PSC order states:
While future Program rates may diverge from those under RMP’s proposal contingent on later
determinations regarding Resource Valuation and changes to other underlying variables, no
evidence in the record suggests that Program rates are likely to meaningfully increase from the
initial rates approved in this order. Instead, under RMP’s proposal, they would decrease rather
significantly after the first two years. At the Program’s inception, customers will be deciding
whether to opt-out with reference to rates that are likely to be higher than rates charged later,
after the reserve balances are sufficiently established.
While this is not guaranteed and will be influenced by multiple factors including additional future
resource procurements, the PSC found it within the public interest to allow the Program to begin with an
initial fixed rate of $4 per month.
Customer Noticing and Estimated Timelines
There are two distinct but important milestones when customers will hear about the Program, defined in
the order and State law:
6
• “Program Implementation” happens when the first customer notices are mailed by RMP.
• “Program Commencement” is when RMP initiates collection of Program rates.
The following is the anticipated timeline for Program milestones:
June 2, 2026 Deadline for Communities to Adopt the ordinance (Hard)
June - Nov/Dec 2026 RMP upgrades customer service and billing systems (estimated)
Nov/Dec 2026 “Program Implementation” – First customer notices (estimated)
Nov/Dec 2026 Second customer notices – 15 days after first notices (estimated)
Jan/Feb 2027 “Program Commencement” – Program revenue collection begins (estimated)
May/June 2027 Free cancellation period ends, termination fees apply (estimated)
2028-2030 Resources begin to come online. Exact timing will depend on resource selection
and the terms of its PPA (estimated)
Once the ordinance deadline of June 2 passes and RMP concludes its customer service upgrades (i.e. the
“Startup Activities”) which are estimated to take approximately five months, RMP customers in a
participating community will receive their first official notices about the Program. The first noticing date
is defined as the beginning of “Program Implementation.”
All RMP customers in communities that adopt the ordinance will receive two notices that are separate
from their bills. This includes at least one mailed notice. The second notice will be mailed or digital,
depending on customer communication preferences (i.e. if the customer has signed up for online billing.)
Large commercial customers on Schedules 8 or 9 that have an electric load of one megawatt or greater
will instead receive a noticing meeting, which may be conducted in-person or via video conference.
The Agency expects the first customer notices will be mailed in late 2026. As required in the Act and
the Utility Agreement, any community that enacts the Program (by passing the ordinance) is responsible
for reimbursing RMP for the cost of providing the two required notices to all RMP customers within the
community’s boundaries. The Sustainability Department has budgeted accordingly for this expected
expense of $156,000.
After the first notices go out, there will be two billing cycles, or approximately 60 days, until the first URC
clean energy line item appears on RMP customer bills. This period of initial program rate collection is
defined as “Program Commencement.” The Agency is estimating that Program Commencement will
occur in early 2027.
Utah HB 238 from 2026 passed and is currently awaiting the Governor’s signature. This bill adds
additional requirements for the customer notices that are not expected to add additional burden to the
already planned noticing process.
Customers Wishing to Opt Out of the Program
Once the Program begins, all customers can always exit it at any time. However, there may be
termination fees after a certain time period for certain customers.
7
After “Program Implementation” when the first notices are sent out, customers will have a six-month
period during which they can exit the Program for free (this is known as the “Cancellation Period.”) After
six months, there will be a $30 termination fee for residential customers.
There will be approximately four months during the Cancellation Period when customers will be paying
the regular Program rates, but will not incur a termination fee if they choose to exit the Program.
Income-qualified customers enrolled in HELP are never subject to a termination fee. Commercial
customers will pay a termination fee specific to their particular rate schedule after the Cancellation
Period ends. Termination fees are outlined in Attachment B.
In addition to the Cancellation Period, the Program includes other circumstances during which the
termination fee will not apply, including customers moving out of a participating community, ceasing to
be a customer of RMP, or seeking protection through bankruptcy proceedings.
New customers moving into a participating community, or annexed into it, will receive their own notice
and no-fee cancellation period of 60 days from their first notice about the Program.
Additional URC Agency Processes and Resource Solicitation
While communities consider adopting the Program ordinance, the URC Agency will be working on
several related processes that need to conclude before the Program launches. These include helping
RMP upgrade their billing system and set up new customer service support for the Program (these are
described in the order as “Startup Activities”.) The funding to backstop these required Startup Activities
is the subject of an item in Budget Amendment 5 of FY2026 and is further discussed below.
The Agency is also in the middle of a resource solicitation process to determine the first new clean
energy resource(s) that will serve the Program. This process has played out separately and ahead of the
Program Application. On November 19, 2024, RMP filed an Application for Approval of Solicitation
Process 10 with the PSC describing the proposed process to solicit bids from clean energy developers
(Docket 24-035-5511). The PSC granted the application12, clearing the way for URC to issue a Request for
Proposals (RFP) on May 22, 2025 13. Fifteen bids were initially received by the July 10, 2025, RFP deadline,
one of which was later withdrawn 14. These bids were evaluated and scored by URC technical
consultants, and an “initial short list” of six projects was selected by URC for further evaluation by RMP.
URC received the results of this analysis in December 2025 and used this information to create a “final

short list”. In February 2026, the URC board approved Resolution 2026-0215 selecting all four final short
list projects for power purchase agreement (PPA) negotiations. PPA negotiations are currently underway
and the process to execute an agreement with one or more projects will eventually coincide with the
valuation process, described below, and preparations towards implementing the URC Program.
Finally, the Agency is also working with RMP and state agencies to determine how those resources will
be valued. A program resource valuation methodology was not determined by the PSC in the Order and
will be considered in a future regulatory proceeding. This will be based, in part, upon determinations
that RMP and the PSC will make in the utility’s long-range planning effort across its multi-state service
territory. This process is called the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). The IRP lays out the utility’s forecast
load growth over a 20-year timeline and what resources it plans to utilize to serve electricity demand.
The IRP process– which culminates in plans that are released every two years and less robust “updates”
that are released in intervening, off-cycle years— influences how the utility values new renewable
energy brought to the grid. Once the latest version of the IRP is finalized, it will allow the URC and RMP
to settle on a valuation methodology for URC clean energy resources going forward, pending PSC
approval. What this means for individual customers is not likely to be noticeable, but will mean that the
rates will change to a small degree in the future (as do all rates).
Program Ordinance
Ordinance details
There are more details included in the ordinance than may be typical of many Salt Lake City ordinances,
including many one-time deadlines and dates that will quickly stale in the code. While a bit awkward, it
was decided deliberately by the URC communities to spell out the full details of the Program in the
ordinance to offer transparency and clarity in one central location, without requiring community
members to track down additional information in the Act, Rules, and Order. While atypical, the Salt Lake
City Attorney’s Office did not identify any issues with this approach.
The ordinance must do two key things:
● Enact the approved program by the eligible community adopting the ordinance; and,
● Make it clear that the PSC has the final say on how the program will work.
There are three sections in the ordinance that cover the following:
• Preamble: describes the history and context for development of the Program.
• Program adoption: while short in length, this is the “action” of the ordinance - that the
community’s governing body votes to adopt the Community Clean Energy Program.
• Exhibit A describes key elements of the Program that will occur if Salt Lake City adopts the
ordinance. This includes:
• Establishing Salt Lake City’s participation in the approved Community Clean Energy Program.

• Enabling all retail electricity customers in current and future boundaries of Salt Lake City to
participate in the Program. This does not include rooftop solar customers on Schedule 135,
the older net metering schedule, in accordance with the Act.16 Rooftop solar customers on
Schedules 136 and 137 are eligible to participate.
• Defining the Program’s “Implementation Date” as the date when RMP sends out its first
notices to customers of their forthcoming enrollment in the Program and describing RMP’s
noticing requirements.
• Explaining that eligible customers will be enrolled in the Program if they decline to opt-out
by the date used in the RMP notices.
• Describing that any customer in a participating community who is not enrolled in the
Program may opt-in at any time.
• Imposing termination fees for customers who opt out after the cancellation period as well as
situations when termination fees will not occur.
• Describing the process and approvals needed for clean energy resource acquisition under
the Program.
• Acknowledging that the PSC determines the Program rate and can approve adjustments to
the rates periodically.
• Acknowledging that RMP is responsible for billing customers and notifying them of changes
to the Program rate.
Section 7 of Exhibit A sets forth Salt Lake City’s role and responsibilities. This includes:
• Salt Lake City will continue to participate in future decisions regarding clean energy resource
solicitation, acquisition, and other issues.
• Salt Lake City’s obligation to enter into an agreement with RMP to effectuate the Program. This
“Utility Agreement” was negotiated between RMP and the communities between 2022-23, with
the core participation of Salt Lake City staff and attorneys. It was shared with the City Council in
October 2023. It was signed by Council Member Dugan, serving as the URC Agency Board Chair,
on August 22, 2024, and by Mayor Mendenhall for Salt Lake City on November 26, 2024. The
Utility Agreement is consistent for all communities and RMP, as required by the Act.
• Per the Utility Agreement, Salt Lake City will reimburse RMP for their costs to provide the two
required notices to all eligible customers within our boundary. Funds were first appropriated for
this in the Department’s FY24 budget, which has been carried forward as a base budget item
each year into the Department’s proposed FY27 base budget.
• Salt Lake City has already appropriated and paid additional funds (when we joined the Agency)
which, in part, were used to reimburse the OCS and DPU for their costs of contracting third-party
expertise to evaluate the Program.
Why Create a New Clean Energy Option?
Participating Communities, as defined under the Act, are served by RMP – i.e., they do not have their
own municipal utilities – and their options for procuring clean energy resources are, therefore, limited.
16 54-17-905(5) states that "a residential customer that is participating in the net metering program under Title 54,
Chapter 15, Net Metering of Electricity, may not be a participating customer under this part."
10
The Program offers homes and businesses in our community a new option for supporting clean energy.
Furthermore, the Program creates a unique opportunity to drive investment in new clean energy at
scale, since, collectively, URC represents about 25% of RMP's electricity sales in Utah 17, which in turn
represents 80% of total electricity sales in the State.
Benefits of the URC Program
Utah is facing a worrisome energy shortage, as our energy supply is projected to decrease while demand
continues to rise, according to Governor Cox’s Operation Gigawatt18. Thankfully, URC is part of the
solution: the Program will add hundreds of megawatts of new clean energy to the grid in the 2020s, with
the aim of adding even more in the next decade to support our communities’ clean energy goals and
growing energy needs. By adding new clean energy to our electricity mix, URC is part of the solution by
creating a more reliable energy supply for Utah.
Health and Environment
The electricity used to power our homes and businesses comes from a collection of power plants
connected to our grid. This includes electricity generated by natural gas, coal, wind, solar, hydropower,
and more. Throughout the day, power plants are dispatched to generate enough electricity to meet
demand. Wind and solar power plants have no fuel costs, so they are often dispatched before coal and
gas plants which do have fuel costs. When coal and natural gas plants generate electricity, greenhouse
gases and air pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere as byproducts. Renewable electricity
generation does not come with harmful fossil fuel emissions.
By adding more renewable energy to the grid, the URC program may reduce how often fossil fuel plants
need to run. This reduces pollution, improving our air quality, water quality, and climate on a local and
regional scale.
In particular, there are several natural gas plants along the Wasatch Front, owned by RMP or other
entities. Due to our state’s increasing electricity demands, these pollution-emitting gas plants will likely
need to run more often, which is a particular concern for the Gadsby power plant, given its age and
location in the Fairpark neighborhood of Salt Lake City, as well as others that impact our airshed.
Adding new, clean energy to the grid helps alleviate overall electricity demand which can result in less
air pollution from local fossil fuel power plants. This benefits the neighborhoods immediately next to
power plants and those living throughout our inversion-prone valley.
Similarly, the Hunter and Huntington coal plants in central Utah are large fossil fuel plants that contribute
to air pollution in other parts of the state and reduce visibility in our national parks. The URC program
aims to bring more clean energy to reduce pollution throughout the state.
The Program ultimately aims to bring online about 500 MW of clean energy over the coming years,
based on current participating customer projections. This amount of clean energy, which would occur
17 This estimate is based on the 19 currently participating communities. It is possible that not all 19 communities
enact the final program by passing the ordinance

11
over several different resource procurements, would result in an estimated reduction of 1 million metric
tons of carbon dioxide pollution annually, and 1,000 pounds of criteria pollution annually.19
Economic Growth
The Program supports economic growth by bringing new energy development to areas of the state that
are hotspots for solar, wind, or other clean energy development. (Note that Salt Lake County is not a
prime location for utility-scale solar and wind.) New projects create construction and operational jobs;
provide resources to public schools via the Trust Lands Administration if projects are sited on certain
state land; support private landowners if sited privately; and add to local counties’ tax base. These
benefits were captured in a recent study by The Western Way20.
Supporting a healthy environment is also core to many economic drivers in Utah– whether that’s the
local ski and snow sports industry, national park visitation in gateway communities, or the upcoming
2034 Olympic & Paralympic Games. In fact, the Program is a cornerstone of the sustainability goals of
Utah’s bid to the International Olympic Committee.21
Program comparison
Homes and businesses have a few different ways to access clean energy. The Program is distinct from
existing clean energy offerings:
• The Blue Sky program has been available for nearly 26 years and allows participants to
voluntarily contribute at $1.95 per 100 kWh “block” or 1.95 cents per kWh. Blue Sky is an
important program that supports grants to help organizations offset the cost of rooftop solar
(Salt Lake City has benefitted from a Blue Sky grant which helped cover the cost of solar on the
Sorenson Center). Blue Sky participants also fund the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates
(RECs) nationwide which, while helpful to the industry, do not significantly catalyze the growth of
new utility-scale renewable energy. Blue Sky is also more expensive on a per kilowatt-hour basis
than the initial residential Program rate of $4 per month per residential customer approved by
the PSC (0.609 cents per kWh for the average residential consumption of 637 kWh per month,
plus a 12 cent per month surcharge charged to participants to assist low-income customers). This
is, in part, due to key differences between the programs, including Blue Sky’s ability to claim
RECs, while URC is aiming to use its rate revenue to develop new clean energy to match
participant demand.
• The Subscriber Solar Program is also one that Salt Lake City Corporation participates in. It offers
RMP customers shares in an existing 20 MW solar farm in Southern Utah. While allowing
customers to directly purchase a share of clean energy is an important benefit compared with
Blue Sky, Subscriber Solar has a capped participation opportunity and RMP has not indicated
they plan to build more projects to make available to additional subscribers.

• Customers can individually install rooftop solar on their homes or businesses. This is an
important option to support renewable energy growth and energy security. However, it is
expensive and only available to some types of customers with the funding and property types
that allow for it.
For these reasons, Salt Lake City and the other participating communities that are part of URC have
worked diligently to develop the Community Clean Energy Program with RMP over the last several years.
The Program offers participating communities the opportunity to drive renewable energy development
at utility scale and offers their residents and businesses the choice to participate. If the ordinance is not
adopted, that choice is removed for them.
History of Salt Lake City’s support
Salt Lake City joint resolution Number 33 of 2016, adopted November 1, 2016 (“2016 Resolution”)
established two renewable energy goals – one for Salt Lake City’s government operations and another
for the wider Salt Lake City community. For government operations, the 2016 resolution established a
goal to achieve at least 50% municipal renewable energy by 2020. It also established 2032 as the year to
achieve 100% renewable energy for both government operations and the community.
The community goal was advanced to 2030 in Joint Resolution 23 of 2019, which established “a
community goal of achieving an amount equivalent to 100% of the annual electric energy supply for
participating customers from renewable energy resources by 2030.” By adopting this latter resolution,
Salt Lake City qualified under the Act to join the URC and develop the Program in partnership with RMP.
Subsequently, Salt Lake City made financial contributions totaling $385,966.47 in Fiscal Years 2022 and
2023 to the Agency’s budget, which were proportional to our community’s population and electricity
load. The Rules require participating communities to pay for program development and implementation
costs incurred by the utility and regulators to avoid shifting costs to non-participating customers.
On August 3, 2023, the Salt Lake City Council adopted Resolution 22 of 2023 endorsing the City’s ongoing
participation in the development of the Program, and following that, Mayor Mendenhall signed the
Utility Agreement along with the other participating communities. RMP is expected to sign the Utility
Agreement soon now that the PSC has issued the Order.
Transmittals shared with Council
In addition to actions taken above, we are sharing the most recent transmittals on this program over the
last few years, as reference:
• In October 2022, the Department submitted an informational transmittal to City Council seeking
feedback on the draft model ordinance and approaches to low-income assistance.
• In October 2023, the Department submitted an informational transmittal to City Council
providing a copy of the Utility Agreement.
• In December 2024, the Department submitted an informational transmittal giving an update on
Program milestones.
• In October 2025, the Department provided a transmittal updating the City Council on the
Program Application and Solicitation processes and expected next steps, should the PSC approve
the Program.
13
Budgetary Updates
The Agency will begin to receive Program rate revenue after RMP begins revenue collection, anticipated
in early 2027 according to the timeline above and in Attachment C. To date, Program costs have been
paid for from member communities contributions. URC has also been successful in receiving one grant
and a financial donation to support its efforts over the last year. Because the Agency unexpectedly had
to run its own resource solicitation process, it charged bid fees from developer applicants to pay for
consultants to run the solicitation and other legal and technical costs.
The Agency has remaining budget to fund expected activities through 2026, and URC support staff
continues to seek philanthropic opportunities to continue funding URC work to bridge any gaps until
revenue collection begins. If additional funds are requested of member communities, which the
Sustainability Department cannot cover with existing budget for Salt Lake City’s share, the Sustainability
Department will prepare a budget amendment.
As noted in the transmittal sent to the City Council in December 2024 and in the section below, there is a
separate outstanding issue of unexpected administrative “Startup Costs.” Sustainability has included a
funding request in FY26 Budget Amendment 5 to backstop the cost of these activities.
Once revenue collection begins, all other costs associated with administering the program and for
program resources will be covered by participating RMP customers and there is no further community
obligation.
Startup Costs
There are certain customer service activities, with associated costs, that need to occur in order for RMP
to send out bills with the Program line item, thus allowing the Program to commence. These activities
can be paid for by ratepayer revenues, but those cannot be collected before such activities occur.
Accordingly, these activities are called “Startup Activities” and their associated costs, “Startup Costs”.
The most significant Startup Cost is an upgrade to RMP’s information systems to automate statutory
aspects of the Program, namely, to:
• allow Program-eligible customers to opt-out one or more of their electric accounts;
• generate ongoing opt-out notices for new Program-eligible customers; and
• assess any applicable termination fees.
Other costs include setting up a 1-800 number for customer support, customer service training, and
other miscellaneous costs. The total Startup Cost estimate provided to the PSC as part of the Program
approval docket was $820,169.
Unfortunately, RMP did not initially identify these Startup Costs as an expense that the URC would need
to cover. For that reason, the URC’s initial $700,000 budget—fully funded through contributions by its 19
member communities—was not designed to cover it. Additionally, the Rules adopted by the PSC say
that costs related to operation of the Program should be recovered through the Program rate paid by
participating customers – not the participating communities.
Further, neither the Act nor Rules allow Program-related costs like this to be shifted to non-participating
customers. If these Program-related costs are included in the established rate, RMP has expressed
14
concern that the liability for the Startup Costs could be shifted to all customers if a majority of
URC customers opt out of the Program. This is an extremely low likelihood event, but
RMP has required that URC’s member communities sign an agreement, in advance, to cover the
Startup Costs if those costs have not been recovered through Program rates after an agreed timeframe.
The nature and estimated amounts of the Startup Costs were discussed in the Program Approval docket,
with cost estimates and challenges made before the PSC. Ultimately, the PSC, in approving the program,
acknowledged that the Startup Costs could be paid for up-front by RMP, but would need to be
reimbursed, either by ratepayer revenues, or a URC community, so as not to shift costs to other RMP
customers.
Recognizing that Salt Lake City is the community with the largest population and electricity load of all 19
URC communities and could thus most benefit from the Program’s impact, the Sustainability Department
agreed to request budget allocation that could be obligated, allowing Salt Lake City to sign such a
contract with Rocky Mountain Power. As confirmed in recent conversations with RMP staff, the Startup
Costs will remain approximately the same whether solely Salt Lake City participates in the program, or all
19 communities.
The Startup Cost estimate we are using for Budget Amendment 5 is the one RMP provided to the PSC of
$820,169, plus an additional 10% contingency.
While this number is an estimate and actual costs would vary, we believe it is on the higher end of what
would be required, allowing us to move forward contractually.
Furthermore, it is very unlikely that Salt Lake City would end up needing to pay this money to RMP.
Rather, it is being identified and held as a backstop in order to sign the Startup Cost agreement.
That is because it is estimated the Program could generate around $18 million in revenues each year at
the PSC-approved initial rate of $4 per month for residential customers and $0.00609 per kWh for non-
residential customers.
At these rates, it is likely that the Startup Cost estimate of $820,169 will be more than recovered from a
single month of Program revenue.
Given RMP’s requirement that a contract be in place and the high likelihood that the full cost will be
recovered through one month of Program revenues, it is very likely that this Startup Cost budget can be
de-obligated shortly after Program revenue collection begins. These details have been worked into the
contractual language that is currently being negotiated with RMP.
Salt Lake City is separately talking with other communities that are part of the Agency on their potential
contributions to reimburse the City, in the case that the Startup Costs are collected.
Conclusion
After nearly a decade of thoughtful, intentional, and complex work to plan, design, negotiate, and apply
for approval, the Community Clean Energy Program has been approved by the PSC. This milestone starts
a 90-day clock for each of the 19 communities involved in URC to consider enacting the approved
Program by adopting the program ordinance by June 2, 2026. If adopted, the first customer notices are
15
expected to go out in late 2026, and the new clean energy line item will appear in early 2027 on
customers’ RMP bills.

ENERGY PROGRAM:
A. Salt Lake City hereby establishes its participation in the Community Clean Energy
Program (“Program”) as approved by the Public Service Commission of Utah (“Commission”).
B. The Commission has adopted such rules as set forth in Utah Administrative Code
R746-314-101 through -402 (“Rules”). On March 4, 2026, the Commission issued an order in
Docket No. 25-035-06 (“Commission Order”) approving the Program. The Commission Order is
on file with the Commission. The Program’s rates and requirements are governed by the
Commission Order, and may be modified from time to time by subsequent Rules and orders
adopted by the Commission. To the extent that the Commission Order or any subsequent Rule or
order adopted by the Commission contradicts any portion of this Title, the Commission order or
Rule or order adopted by the Commission shall govern.
C. ELIGIBLE CUSTOMERS. Pursuant to Utah Code Ann. § 54-17-905(5), residential
customers participating in the net metering program under Utah Code Title 54, Chapter 15, Net
Metering of Electricity, Rocky Mountain Power Schedule 135, are not eligible to participate in the
Program. All other retail electric customers of Rocky Mountain Power (“RMP”) within the current
and future boundaries of Salt Lake City, including all residential, commercial, and industrial
customers, are eligible to participate in the Program (“Eligible Customer”). Eligible Customers
include rooftop solar customers on Rocky Mountain Power Schedules 136 and 137, which are
compensated through an export credit rather than a net metering schedule.
D. IMPLEMENTATION DATE. The Program shall be implemented on the date that
RMP sends out the first Notices identified in section 9.50.020 (“Program Implementation Date”).
Eligible Customers shall be enrolled in the Program if they receive the Notices and decline to opt
out of participation in the Program by the date set forth in the Notices. Consistent with the Act and
the Rules, the Notices shall be sent to each Eligible Customer before the commencement date that
applies to each such customer (“Customer Commencement Date”), as set forth in the Rules.
9.50.020: CUSTOMER PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNITY CLEAN ENERGY
PROGRAM:
A. Each Eligible Customer shall be automatically enrolled in the Program unless the
customer opts out of the Program prior to the Customer Commencement Date.
B. NOTICES. As set forth in the Act and the Rules before any Eligible Customer
becomes a participant in the Program, RMP first shall deliver to each Eligible Customer certain
6
notices (collectively, the “Notices”) containing content and in the form, manner, and delivery
method as required by the Act and Rules and other orders and Rules.
C. OPT-OUT. Each Eligible Customer may elect not to participate in the Program
and instead to pay applicable existing electric rates by giving notice to RMP in the manner and
within the time period set forth in the Notices.
1. FIRST OPT-OUT NOTICE. RMP shall provide a First Opt-Out Notice,
separate from standard monthly bills, to each Eligible Customer within Salt Lake City, no
earlier than sixty (60) days and no later than thirty (30) days before the Customer
Commencement Date applicable to each customer. The First Opt-Out Notice shall, in all
material respects, use the form and content of the First Opt-Out Notice as approved by the
Commission.
2. SECOND OPT-OUT NOTICE. RMP shall provide a Second Opt-Out
Notice, separate from standard monthly bills, to each Eligible Customer within Salt Lake
City, at least fifteen (15) days after the First Opt-Out Notice was provided and at least
seven (7) days before the Customer Commencement Date applicable to such customer. The
Second Opt-Out Notice shall, in all material respects, use the form and content of the
Second Opt-Out Notice as approved by the Commission.
3. Each Eligible Customer that receives the First Opt-Out Notice and the
Second Opt-Out Notice as described herein and declines to opt out of the Program by the
customer’s Customer Commencement Date will be enrolled in the Program.
D. CUSTOMER OPTION TO OPT IN TO PROGRAM. An Eligible Customer
located within Salt Lake City that is not enrolled in the Program may at any time elect to participate
in the Program by providing notice to RMP in the form and content approved by the Commission.
Following such notice to opt in to the Program, the customer will be enrolled in the Program
starting with the billing period following the notice in which it is reasonably practicable for RMP
to enroll such customer. The reasonably practicable billing period shall be based on when the
notice was received from the customer and the customer’s billing cycle. Following enrollment in
the Program, the customer shall be subject to all Program requirements
E. CUSTOMER OPTION TO EXIT PROGRAM. Customers enrolled in the Program
may exit the Program by giving notice to RMP.
9.50.030: TERMINATION FEES:
A. If a customer declines to opt out of the Program prior to the applicable Customer
Commencement Date, but subsequently exits the Program, the exiting customer may be required
to pay a termination fee, as set forth in this section and further specified by the Rules and the
Commission Order.
B. When applicable, the amount of the termination fee shall be based on the rate
schedule of the exiting customer as approved by the Commission and may be modified from time
to time by subsequent orders of the Commission.
7
C. CIRCUMSTANCES IN WHICH TERMINATION FEE SHALL NOT APPLY: A
termination fee shall not apply in the following circumstances:
1. any customer that opts out of the Program within the “Cancellation Period”
applicable to that customer, as defined in the Rules.
2. any customer that ceases to be an electric customer of RMP;
3. any customer that moves to a new location that is not within the boundaries
of a community that participates in the Program;
4. any customer that seeks protection through bankruptcy proceedings; or
5. any customer enrolled in Rocky Mountain Schedule 3 bill assistance (“Low-
Income Lifeline Program”).
9.50.040: ACQUISITION OF CLEAN ENERGY RESOURCES:
A. For purposes of this section, “clean energy resource” shall have the definition set
forth in the Act.
B. RMP may adopt or procure one or more clean energy resources to serve the needs
and goals of the Program. The acquisition of any such clean energy resource must follow
solicitation application and evaluation criteria approved by the Commission.
C. Any clean energy resource adopted or procured by RMP to serve the needs and
goals of the Program must be approved by the Commission based on a finding the same is
reasonable and in the public interest.
D. The Commission shall determine the method of cost recovery for any clean energy
resource acquired to meet Program needs and goals, and the Commission’s determination
regarding cost recovery may affect Program rates.
9.50.050: PROGRAM RATES AND RATE ADJUSTMENT FILINGS:
A. Program rates will be determined by the Commission.
B. The initial Program rates were determined by the Commission in the Commission
Order.
C. Program rates may be adjusted by the Commission from time to time, consistent
with the procedures approved by the Commission for adjusting Program rates.
9.50.060: UTILITY BILLING FOR PARTICIPATING CUSTOMERS:

Community Clean Energy Program Ordinance
Background/Discussion
Summary of Key Points
• With the adoption of Salt Lake City’s net-100% renewable electricity goal in 2016 1, we began
working with Rocky Mountain Power (RMP) and other communities to pass legislation in 2019 to
facilitate that goal. The passage of HB 411 permitted communities to negotiate a proposed clean
energy program with RMP to develop renewable energy resources to serve customers within the
communities’ boundaries.
• Salt Lake City has been involved in a joint cooperative effort with 18 other communities,
informally called the Utah Renewable Communities (URC), to develop a Community Clean Energy
Program (Program) pursuant to the 2019 legislation.
• The Program was submitted to the Public Service Commission of Utah (PSC) and was approved,
with minor modifications, on March 4, 2026. Following the recent PSC approval, all 19
communities involved have to determine whether to enact the Program within our respective
boundaries by adopting the program ordinance.
• The ordinance adoption process runs 90 days from the PSC order, meaning the ordinance must
be adopted no later than June 2, 2026, for Salt Lake City to participate.
• The Community Clean Energy Program, should Salt Lake City choose to enact it, will provide a
new opportunity for nearly all homes and businesses within Salt Lake City to choose clean
energy through their RMP bill. A new line item will be added to customer RMP bills to support
the investment in clean energy, with the option for customers to exit at any time.
• The Program is still several months from kicking off. We expect customers to see notices by the
end of 2026 and the new URC clean energy line item on their bill in early 2027 (at the earliest).
• The initial residential rate set by the PSC is $4 per month.
• Income-eligible customers can receive a bill credit, enabling them to participate for free.
• The Program directly supports the addition of new, utility-scale clean energy to the PacifiCorp
grid, and is distinct from other clean energy offerings.
• The Community Clean Energy Program ordinance is forthcoming for the Salt Lake City Council to
discuss and consider adopting.
o If Salt Lake City adopts the ordinance, it will officially bring the Community Clean Energy
Program to our community and Salt Lake City will continue to be part of the URC Agency,
collaborating with RMP to launch and operate the program.
o If Salt Lake City does not adopt the ordinance, the Community Clean Energy Program will
not be an option for our community and we will no longer be part of the URC Agency.
1 Joint Resolution 33 of 2016.

Legislative Background
During the 2019 General Session, the Utah State Legislature passed and the Governor signed HB 411, the
Community Renewable Energy Act (Act)2, Utah Code Ann. §§ 54-17-901 to 909 3. The Act created a
pathway for communities to work together to establish a community clean energy program in
partnership with Rocky Mountain Power (RMP), a subsidiary of PacifiCorp, for residents and businesses
in participating communities. The Rules Governing the Community Renewable Energy Program (Rules),
Utah Administrative Code R746-314 4, were also adopted in 2019 by the Utah Public Service Commission
(PSC) to implement the Act. The Act and associated Rules outline a process whereby interested
communities could work with RMP to develop a Program Application that the utility could file with the
PSC on behalf of those communities. This effort and program is more frequently called the Utah
Renewable Communities (URC). State Code was amended in 2024 5, changing the name to “Community
Clean Energy Act”, among other changes. During the 2026 session, additional amendments to this
section of code were adopted by the State legislature under HB 238 6, which is pending the Governor’s
signature. HB 238 adds specific noticing and opt-out features. These changes are not anticipated to have
significant impact on the Program.
Communities’ Involvement
To pursue this opportunity, and as contemplated by the Act, 23 Utah communities established clean
energy goals, taking the first step towards participating in the effort to jointly design a proposed program
in partnership with RMP. Eighteen of the original 23 interested communities continued participating by
entering into the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement Among Public Entities Regarding the Community
Renewable Energy Program (ILA), creating a cooperative of communities called the Community
Renewable Energy Agency (Agency, known informally as URC), to jointly make decisions and negotiate
with RMP to create the proposed program. Midvale City joined the Agency in 2024, bringing the total
number of eligible communities to 19, following a change to the enabling legislation which removed the
requirement that a community adopt a clean energy goal before December 31, 2019, in order to be
eligible to participate.
Each community appoints a primary and alternate board member to the Agency, one of whom should be
an elected official. Council Member Dan Dugan represents Salt Lake City on the Agency board and serves
as the chair.
Three subcommittees were formed by the URC in 2021 to advance program development: the Program
Design, Low-Income Plan, and Communications subcommittees. Board members and support staff from
URC communities have worked diligently and thoughtfully since 2021 to design the proposed program
for submission to the PSC, working closely with the Agency’s legal and technical consultants to negotiate

with RMP. Salt Lake City staff have played key roles on all three subcommittees, including leading the
Program Design work over the years.
What is the Goal of the Program?
The goal of the Program is to drive the development of clean, renewable energy resources like solar and
wind energy on our grid that would not have been developed otherwise, while keeping the Program
affordable and accessible to customers. Ultimately, the target is to develop enough renewable resources
to match the amount of electricity used annually by Program participants.
While a community is no longer required by state law to have a net-100% renewable electricity goal to
have joined the Agency, the Board still aims to push for making net-100% renewable electricity available
to homes and businesses in participating communities by 2030; however, this target may be adjusted
over time.
PacifiCorp is RMP's parent company whose grid serves six states7, including Utah. The clean energy
counting towards the Program is proposed to come from both existing clean energy on the grid plus new
clean energy projects the Program brings to the grid. These resources are and will be part of the
PacifiCorp grid.
The Program has been developed and will be implemented in collaboration with RMP, and all URC
participants will remain RMP customers. RMP will continue to be required to provide reliable power to
all customers, regardless of a customer’s URC participation status.
Program Approval by the Utah Public Service Commission
As described by step 5 in Attachment A, the Act and Rules required that the proposed program be filed
by RMP with the PSC. Following years of careful work and negotiations between the URC and RMP, on
January 24, 2025, and June 4, 2025, RMP submitted parts I and II, respectively, of a two-part Application
to Implement Community Clean Energy Program Authorized by the Community Clean Energy Act (Docket
25-035-06 8).
As required by the Act, the Program Application included, among other items, information about the
customers within the boundaries of the participating communities, projected rates under the proposed
program, a Utility Agreement between each participating community and RMP, low-income plans for
each community, a draft ordinance that establishes an eligible community’s participation in the proposed
program, and more. Rounds of direct, rebuttal, and surrebuttal testimony followed. The process
concluded with a technical hearing and public witness hearing in front of the Utah Public Service
Commission on December 16 and 17, 2025. The Parties to the docket are: RMP, URC, the Division of
Public Utilities (DPU), the Office of Consumer Services (OCS), Western Resource Advocates, and the
Sierra Club. Each party participated in the rounds of testimony and the hearing.
7 In February 2025, PacifiCorp announced their plans to exit Washington, which will reduce the number of states
they operate in to five in the coming years: https://www.pacificorp.com/about/newsroom/news-

8 Docket No: 25-034-06 on the PSC website: https://psc.utah.gov/2025/01/25/docket-no-25-035-06/
4
On March 4, 2026, a significant milestone was achieved when the Utah Public Service Commission issued
an Order9 in Docket 25-035-06 (“Order”) approving the proposed program with modifications. The PSC
ruling was generally favorable toward the proposed program and the URC communities’ interests and
provides clarity on how the Program will work, the initial cost to participate, and more. However, the PSC
did not resolve every dispute URC and RMP raised in the docket. For unresolved items, the Order
provided guidance and clear action items for the communities and RMP to move forward. The main
issues that still need to be addressed are the resource valuation methodology that considers the
financial benefit the new resources bring to non-URC customers, as well as the first resource(s) contract
which is called a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). These are discussed in more detail below, in the
section “Additional URC Agency Processes.”
Ordinance Timeline
The PSC approval of the Program on March 4, 2026, set off the 90-day ordinance adoption window, as
required by the Act. Each URC community has until June 2, 2026, to pass the required ordinance to
formally adopt the Program. Given the Salt Lake City Council’s schedule of public hearings and current
workload, we recommend targeting the May 19 formal meeting to adopt the ordinance.
In October 2022, the Department submitted an informational transmittal to City Council seeking
feedback on the draft model ordinance. The version submitted as part of the Program Application was
shared with the Council in October 2025.
The ordinance has changed moderately from the last version shared. After the Order, the Agency’s legal
counsel updated parts of the ordinance to fully comply with the Order and these redlines were shared
with the communities’ legal counsels. It is important that the ordinance remain largely unchanged;
particularly the “therefore” clauses and Exhibit A. This is because the ordinance draft submitted to the
PSC as part of the Program Application was meant to be indicative of the ordinances to be adopted,
pursuant to the Act. Furthermore, the ordinances should remain consistent between the participating
communities. The Sustainability Department has updated key “whereas” sections to reflect Salt Lake
City’s climate and sustainability goals.
Program Details
Customer participation and opt-out
The Program was established under the Act as an “opt-out” program, meaning that every eligible RMP
customer in a community participating in the Program will be automatically enrolled with the option to
exit at any time. Customers in these communities will see a new Community Clean Energy Program line
item (“Schedule 100”) on their RMP bills as early as the first quarter of 2027 (See Attachment C). The
new line item will only appear after certain additional processes by the Agency and RMP are completed
and approved by the PSC.
This means that if Salt Lake City adopts the ordinance, nearly all RMP customers in our community will
be automatically enrolled when the Program commences, likely not until early 2027, with the choice to

5
opt out. Customers will be able to exit the Program at any time. There will be an initial “cancellation
period” whereby customers exiting the Program can do so without incurring a termination fee. After the
“cancellation period,” customers can still exit at any time but will be subject to a termination fee. The
termination fees are outlined in Attachment B.
Initial Program rates
One of the most significant outcomes of the Order is the establishment of the initial Program rate. The
Order established an initial residential flat rate totaling $4 per month ($3.88 per month plus a $0.12
low-income program surcharge). This amount is in line with the Agency’s targeted dollar amount to keep
the Program affordable and accessible to customers.
The low-income proposal from the Agency was also approved by the PSC. Income-qualified residents
who are on Schedule 3 (RMP’s Home Electric Lifeline Program, or HELP) will see a monthly rate of $3.88
which would be matched by a $3.88 credit on their bill, making the Program free for these customers.
For all other (non-residential) customer classes, the PSC approved a volumetric rate of $0.00609 per
kWh and a low-income surcharge of $0.12 per month. Bill impacts for these commercial customers will
depend on how much electricity they use each month.
Program rates over time
Rates will be adjusted periodically (not more than annually) to account for actual customer participation,
annual administrative cost true-ups, and the Program valuation and resource costs. Regular rate
adjustments happen with all other utility ratemaking and are not unique to the Program. It is not
expected that future URC rates will increase significantly from the initial Program rate. Importantly, the
PSC in its Order recognized that future rates may even decline as the required administrative and
resource reserve funds are established. Page 24 of the PSC order states:
While future Program rates may diverge from those under RMP’s proposal contingent on later
determinations regarding Resource Valuation and changes to other underlying variables, no
evidence in the record suggests that Program rates are likely to meaningfully increase from the
initial rates approved in this order. Instead, under RMP’s proposal, they would decrease rather
significantly after the first two years. At the Program’s inception, customers will be deciding
whether to opt-out with reference to rates that are likely to be higher than rates charged later,
after the reserve balances are sufficiently established.
While this is not guaranteed and will be influenced by multiple factors including additional future
resource procurements, the PSC found it within the public interest to allow the Program to begin with an
initial fixed rate of $4 per month.
Customer Noticing and Estimated Timelines
There are two distinct but important milestones when customers will hear about the Program, defined in
the order and State law:
6
• “Program Implementation” happens when the first customer notices are mailed by RMP.
• “Program Commencement” is when RMP initiates collection of Program rates.
The following is the anticipated timeline for Program milestones:
June 2, 2026 Deadline for Communities to Adopt the ordinance (Hard)
June - Nov/Dec 2026 RMP upgrades customer service and billing systems (estimated)
Nov/Dec 2026 “Program Implementation” – First customer notices (estimated)
Nov/Dec 2026 Second customer notices – 15 days after first notices (estimated)
Jan/Feb 2027 “Program Commencement” – Program revenue collection begins (estimated)
May/June 2027 Free cancellation period ends, termination fees apply (estimated)
2028-2030 Resources begin to come online. Exact timing will depend on resource selection
and the terms of its PPA (estimated)
Once the ordinance deadline of June 2 passes and RMP concludes its customer service upgrades (i.e. the
“Startup Activities”) which are estimated to take approximately five months, RMP customers in a
participating community will receive their first official notices about the Program. The first noticing date
is defined as the beginning of “Program Implementation.”
All RMP customers in communities that adopt the ordinance will receive two notices that are separate
from their bills. This includes at least one mailed notice. The second notice will be mailed or digital,
depending on customer communication preferences (i.e. if the customer has signed up for online billing.)
Large commercial customers on Schedules 8 or 9 that have an electric load of one megawatt or greater
will instead receive a noticing meeting, which may be conducted in-person or via video conference.
The Agency expects the first customer notices will be mailed in late 2026. As required in the Act and
the Utility Agreement, any community that enacts the Program (by passing the ordinance) is responsible
for reimbursing RMP for the cost of providing the two required notices to all RMP customers within the
community’s boundaries. The Sustainability Department has budgeted accordingly for this expected
expense of $156,000.
After the first notices go out, there will be two billing cycles, or approximately 60 days, until the first URC
clean energy line item appears on RMP customer bills. This period of initial program rate collection is
defined as “Program Commencement.” The Agency is estimating that Program Commencement will
occur in early 2027.
Utah HB 238 from 2026 passed and is currently awaiting the Governor’s signature. This bill adds
additional requirements for the customer notices that are not expected to add additional burden to the
already planned noticing process.
Customers Wishing to Opt Out of the Program
Once the Program begins, all customers can always exit it at any time. However, there may be
termination fees after a certain time period for certain customers.
7
After “Program Implementation” when the first notices are sent out, customers will have a six-month
period during which they can exit the Program for free (this is known as the “Cancellation Period.”) After
six months, there will be a $30 termination fee for residential customers.
There will be approximately four months during the Cancellation Period when customers will be paying
the regular Program rates, but will not incur a termination fee if they choose to exit the Program.
Income-qualified customers enrolled in HELP are never subject to a termination fee. Commercial
customers will pay a termination fee specific to their particular rate schedule after the Cancellation
Period ends. Termination fees are outlined in Attachment B.
In addition to the Cancellation Period, the Program includes other circumstances during which the
termination fee will not apply, including customers moving out of a participating community, ceasing to
be a customer of RMP, or seeking protection through bankruptcy proceedings.
New customers moving into a participating community, or annexed into it, will receive their own notice
and no-fee cancellation period of 60 days from their first notice about the Program.
Additional URC Agency Processes and Resource Solicitation
While communities consider adopting the Program ordinance, the URC Agency will be working on
several related processes that need to conclude before the Program launches. These include helping
RMP upgrade their billing system and set up new customer service support for the Program (these are
described in the order as “Startup Activities”.) The funding to backstop these required Startup Activities
is the subject of an item in Budget Amendment 5 of FY2026 and is further discussed below.
The Agency is also in the middle of a resource solicitation process to determine the first new clean
energy resource(s) that will serve the Program. This process has played out separately and ahead of the
Program Application. On November 19, 2024, RMP filed an Application for Approval of Solicitation
Process 10 with the PSC describing the proposed process to solicit bids from clean energy developers
(Docket 24-035-5511). The PSC granted the application12, clearing the way for URC to issue a Request for
Proposals (RFP) on May 22, 2025 13. Fifteen bids were initially received by the July 10, 2025, RFP deadline,
one of which was later withdrawn 14. These bids were evaluated and scored by URC technical
consultants, and an “initial short list” of six projects was selected by URC for further evaluation by RMP.
URC received the results of this analysis in December 2025 and used this information to create a “final

short list”. In February 2026, the URC board approved Resolution 2026-0215 selecting all four final short
list projects for power purchase agreement (PPA) negotiations. PPA negotiations are currently underway
and the process to execute an agreement with one or more projects will eventually coincide with the
valuation process, described below, and preparations towards implementing the URC Program.
Finally, the Agency is also working with RMP and state agencies to determine how those resources will
be valued. A program resource valuation methodology was not determined by the PSC in the Order and
will be considered in a future regulatory proceeding. This will be based, in part, upon determinations
that RMP and the PSC will make in the utility’s long-range planning effort across its multi-state service
territory. This process is called the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). The IRP lays out the utility’s forecast
load growth over a 20-year timeline and what resources it plans to utilize to serve electricity demand.
The IRP process– which culminates in plans that are released every two years and less robust “updates”
that are released in intervening, off-cycle years— influences how the utility values new renewable
energy brought to the grid. Once the latest version of the IRP is finalized, it will allow the URC and RMP
to settle on a valuation methodology for URC clean energy resources going forward, pending PSC
approval. What this means for individual customers is not likely to be noticeable, but will mean that the
rates will change to a small degree in the future (as do all rates).
Program Ordinance
Ordinance details
There are more details included in the ordinance than may be typical of many Salt Lake City ordinances,
including many one-time deadlines and dates that will quickly stale in the code. While a bit awkward, it
was decided deliberately by the URC communities to spell out the full details of the Program in the
ordinance to offer transparency and clarity in one central location, without requiring community
members to track down additional information in the Act, Rules, and Order. While atypical, the Salt Lake
City Attorney’s Office did not identify any issues with this approach.
The ordinance must do two key things:
● Enact the approved program by the eligible community adopting the ordinance; and,
● Make it clear that the PSC has the final say on how the program will work.
There are three sections in the ordinance that cover the following:
• Preamble: describes the history and context for development of the Program.
• Program adoption: while short in length, this is the “action” of the ordinance - that the
community’s governing body votes to adopt the Community Clean Energy Program.
• Exhibit A describes key elements of the Program that will occur if Salt Lake City adopts the
ordinance. This includes:
• Establishing Salt Lake City’s participation in the approved Community Clean Energy Program.
15 URC Resolution 2026-02 Resolution of the Board Selecting Projects for Contract Negotiation:
https://www.utah.gov/pmn/files/1387795.pdf
9
• Enabling all retail electricity customers in current and future boundaries of Salt Lake City to
participate in the Program. This does not include rooftop solar customers on Schedule 135,
the older net metering schedule, in accordance with the Act.16 Rooftop solar customers on
Schedules 136 and 137 are eligible to participate.
• Defining the Program’s “Implementation Date” as the date when RMP sends out its first
notices to customers of their forthcoming enrollment in the Program and describing RMP’s
noticing requirements.
• Explaining that eligible customers will be enrolled in the Program if they decline to opt-out
by the date used in the RMP notices.
• Describing that any customer in a participating community who is not enrolled in the
Program may opt-in at any time.
• Imposing termination fees for customers who opt out after the cancellation period as well as
situations when termination fees will not occur.
• Describing the process and approvals needed for clean energy resource acquisition under
the Program.
• Acknowledging that the PSC determines the Program rate and can approve adjustments to
the rates periodically.
• Acknowledging that RMP is responsible for billing customers and notifying them of changes
to the Program rate.
Section 7 of Exhibit A sets forth Salt Lake City’s role and responsibilities. This includes:
• Salt Lake City will continue to participate in future decisions regarding clean energy resource
solicitation, acquisition, and other issues.
• Salt Lake City’s obligation to enter into an agreement with RMP to effectuate the Program. This
“Utility Agreement” was negotiated between RMP and the communities between 2022-23, with
the core participation of Salt Lake City staff and attorneys. It was shared with the City Council in
October 2023. It was signed by Council Member Dugan, serving as the URC Agency Board Chair,
on August 22, 2024, and by Mayor Mendenhall for Salt Lake City on November 26, 2024. The
Utility Agreement is consistent for all communities and RMP, as required by the Act.
• Per the Utility Agreement, Salt Lake City will reimburse RMP for their costs to provide the two
required notices to all eligible customers within our boundary. Funds were first appropriated for
this in the Department’s FY24 budget, which has been carried forward as a base budget item
each year into the Department’s proposed FY27 base budget.
• Salt Lake City has already appropriated and paid additional funds (when we joined the Agency)
which, in part, were used to reimburse the OCS and DPU for their costs of contracting third-party
expertise to evaluate the Program.
Why Create a New Clean Energy Option?
Participating Communities, as defined under the Act, are served by RMP – i.e., they do not have their
own municipal utilities – and their options for procuring clean energy resources are, therefore, limited.
16 54-17-905(5) states that "a residential customer that is participating in the net metering program under Title 54,
Chapter 15, Net Metering of Electricity, may not be a participating customer under this part."
10
The Program offers homes and businesses in our community a new option for supporting clean energy.
Furthermore, the Program creates a unique opportunity to drive investment in new clean energy at
scale, since, collectively, URC represents about 25% of RMP's electricity sales in Utah 17, which in turn
represents 80% of total electricity sales in the State.
Benefits of the URC Program
Utah is facing a worrisome energy shortage, as our energy supply is projected to decrease while demand
continues to rise, according to Governor Cox’s Operation Gigawatt18. Thankfully, URC is part of the
solution: the Program will add hundreds of megawatts of new clean energy to the grid in the 2020s, with
the aim of adding even more in the next decade to support our communities’ clean energy goals and
growing energy needs. By adding new clean energy to our electricity mix, URC is part of the solution by
creating a more reliable energy supply for Utah.
Health and Environment
The electricity used to power our homes and businesses comes from a collection of power plants
connected to our grid. This includes electricity generated by natural gas, coal, wind, solar, hydropower,
and more. Throughout the day, power plants are dispatched to generate enough electricity to meet
demand. Wind and solar power plants have no fuel costs, so they are often dispatched before coal and
gas plants which do have fuel costs. When coal and natural gas plants generate electricity, greenhouse
gases and air pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere as byproducts. Renewable electricity
generation does not come with harmful fossil fuel emissions.
By adding more renewable energy to the grid, the URC program may reduce how often fossil fuel plants
need to run. This reduces pollution, improving our air quality, water quality, and climate on a local and
regional scale.
In particular, there are several natural gas plants along the Wasatch Front, owned by RMP or other
entities. Due to our state’s increasing electricity demands, these pollution-emitting gas plants will likely
need to run more often, which is a particular concern for the Gadsby power plant, given its age and
location in the Fairpark neighborhood of Salt Lake City, as well as others that impact our airshed.
Adding new, clean energy to the grid helps alleviate overall electricity demand which can result in less
air pollution from local fossil fuel power plants. This benefits the neighborhoods immediately next to
power plants and those living throughout our inversion-prone valley.
Similarly, the Hunter and Huntington coal plants in central Utah are large fossil fuel plants that contribute
to air pollution in other parts of the state and reduce visibility in our national parks. The URC program
aims to bring more clean energy to reduce pollution throughout the state.
The Program ultimately aims to bring online about 500 MW of clean energy over the coming years,
based on current participating customer projections. This amount of clean energy, which would occur

over several different resource procurements, would result in an estimated reduction of 1 million metric
tons of carbon dioxide pollution annually, and 1,000 pounds of criteria pollution annually.19
Economic Growth
The Program supports economic growth by bringing new energy development to areas of the state that
are hotspots for solar, wind, or other clean energy development. (Note that Salt Lake County is not a
prime location for utility-scale solar and wind.) New projects create construction and operational jobs;
provide resources to public schools via the Trust Lands Administration if projects are sited on certain
state land; support private landowners if sited privately; and add to local counties’ tax base. These
benefits were captured in a recent study by The Western Way20.
Supporting a healthy environment is also core to many economic drivers in Utah– whether that’s the
local ski and snow sports industry, national park visitation in gateway communities, or the upcoming
2034 Olympic & Paralympic Games. In fact, the Program is a cornerstone of the sustainability goals of
Utah’s bid to the International Olympic Committee.21
Program comparison
Homes and businesses have a few different ways to access clean energy. The Program is distinct from
existing clean energy offerings:
• The Blue Sky program has been available for nearly 26 years and allows participants to
voluntarily contribute at $1.95 per 100 kWh “block” or 1.95 cents per kWh. Blue Sky is an
important program that supports grants to help organizations offset the cost of rooftop solar
(Salt Lake City has benefitted from a Blue Sky grant which helped cover the cost of solar on the
Sorenson Center). Blue Sky participants also fund the purchase of Renewable Energy Certificates
(RECs) nationwide which, while helpful to the industry, do not significantly catalyze the growth of
new utility-scale renewable energy. Blue Sky is also more expensive on a per kilowatt-hour basis
than the initial residential Program rate of $4 per month per residential customer approved by
the PSC (0.609 cents per kWh for the average residential consumption of 637 kWh per month,
plus a 12 cent per month surcharge charged to participants to assist low-income customers). This
is, in part, due to key differences between the programs, including Blue Sky’s ability to claim
RECs, while URC is aiming to use its rate revenue to develop new clean energy to match
participant demand.
• The Subscriber Solar Program is also one that Salt Lake City Corporation participates in. It offers
RMP customers shares in an existing 20 MW solar farm in Southern Utah. While allowing
customers to directly purchase a share of clean energy is an important benefit compared with
Blue Sky, Subscriber Solar has a capped participation opportunity and RMP has not indicated
they plan to build more projects to make available to additional subscribers.

• Customers can individually install rooftop solar on their homes or businesses. This is an
important option to support renewable energy growth and energy security. However, it is
expensive and only available to some types of customers with the funding and property types
that allow for it.
For these reasons, Salt Lake City and the other participating communities that are part of URC have
worked diligently to develop the Community Clean Energy Program with RMP over the last several years.
The Program offers participating communities the opportunity to drive renewable energy development
at utility scale and offers their residents and businesses the choice to participate. If the ordinance is not
adopted, that choice is removed for them.
History of Salt Lake City’s support
Salt Lake City joint resolution Number 33 of 2016, adopted November 1, 2016 (“2016 Resolution”)
established two renewable energy goals – one for Salt Lake City’s government operations and another
for the wider Salt Lake City community. For government operations, the 2016 resolution established a
goal to achieve at least 50% municipal renewable energy by 2020. It also established 2032 as the year to
achieve 100% renewable energy for both government operations and the community.
The community goal was advanced to 2030 in Joint Resolution 23 of 2019, which established “a
community goal of achieving an amount equivalent to 100% of the annual electric energy supply for
participating customers from renewable energy resources by 2030.” By adopting this latter resolution,
Salt Lake City qualified under the Act to join the URC and develop the Program in partnership with RMP.
Subsequently, Salt Lake City made financial contributions totaling $385,966.47 in Fiscal Years 2022 and
2023 to the Agency’s budget, which were proportional to our community’s population and electricity
load. The Rules require participating communities to pay for program development and implementation
costs incurred by the utility and regulators to avoid shifting costs to non-participating customers.
On August 3, 2023, the Salt Lake City Council adopted Resolution 22 of 2023 endorsing the City’s ongoing
participation in the development of the Program, and following that, Mayor Mendenhall signed the
Utility Agreement along with the other participating communities. RMP is expected to sign the Utility
Agreement soon now that the PSC has issued the Order.
Transmittals shared with Council
In addition to actions taken above, we are sharing the most recent transmittals on this program over the
last few years, as reference:
• In October 2022, the Department submitted an informational transmittal to City Council seeking
feedback on the draft model ordinance and approaches to low-income assistance.
• In October 2023, the Department submitted an informational transmittal to City Council
providing a copy of the Utility Agreement.
• In December 2024, the Department submitted an informational transmittal giving an update on
Program milestones.
• In October 2025, the Department provided a transmittal updating the City Council on the
Program Application and Solicitation processes and expected next steps, should the PSC approve
the Program.
13
Budgetary Updates
The Agency will begin to receive Program rate revenue after RMP begins revenue collection, anticipated
in early 2027 according to the timeline above and in Attachment C. To date, Program costs have been
paid for from member communities contributions. URC has also been successful in receiving one grant
and a financial donation to support its efforts over the last year. Because the Agency unexpectedly had
to run its own resource solicitation process, it charged bid fees from developer applicants to pay for
consultants to run the solicitation and other legal and technical costs.
The Agency has remaining budget to fund expected activities through 2026, and URC support staff
continues to seek philanthropic opportunities to continue funding URC work to bridge any gaps until
revenue collection begins. If additional funds are requested of member communities, which the
Sustainability Department cannot cover with existing budget for Salt Lake City’s share, the Sustainability
Department will prepare a budget amendment.
As noted in the transmittal sent to the City Council in December 2024 and in the section below, there is a
separate outstanding issue of unexpected administrative “Startup Costs.” Sustainability has included a
funding request in FY26 Budget Amendment 5 to backstop the cost of these activities.
Once revenue collection begins, all other costs associated with administering the program and for
program resources will be covered by participating RMP customers and there is no further community
obligation.
Startup Costs
There are certain customer service activities, with associated costs, that need to occur in order for RMP
to send out bills with the Program line item, thus allowing the Program to commence. These activities
can be paid for by ratepayer revenues, but those cannot be collected before such activities occur.
Accordingly, these activities are called “Startup Activities” and their associated costs, “Startup Costs”.
The most significant Startup Cost is an upgrade to RMP’s information systems to automate statutory
aspects of the Program, namely, to:
• allow Program-eligible customers to opt-out one or more of their electric accounts;
• generate ongoing opt-out notices for new Program-eligible customers; and
• assess any applicable termination fees.
Other costs include setting up a 1-800 number for customer support, customer service training, and
other miscellaneous costs. The total Startup Cost estimate provided to the PSC as part of the Program
approval docket was $820,169.
Unfortunately, RMP did not initially identify these Startup Costs as an expense that the URC would need
to cover. For that reason, the URC’s initial $700,000 budget—fully funded through contributions by its 19
member communities—was not designed to cover it. Additionally, the Rules adopted by the PSC say
that costs related to operation of the Program should be recovered through the Program rate paid by
participating customers – not the participating communities.
Further, neither the Act nor Rules allow Program-related costs like this to be shifted to non-participating
customers. If these Program-related costs are included in the established rate, RMP has expressed
14
concern that the liability for the Startup Costs could be shifted to all customers if a majority of
URC customers opt out of the Program. This is an extremely low likelihood event, but
RMP has required that URC’s member communities sign an agreement, in advance, to cover the
Startup Costs if those costs have not been recovered through Program rates after an agreed timeframe.
The nature and estimated amounts of the Startup Costs were discussed in the Program Approval docket,
with cost estimates and challenges made before the PSC. Ultimately, the PSC, in approving the program,
acknowledged that the Startup Costs could be paid for up-front by RMP, but would need to be
reimbursed, either by ratepayer revenues, or a URC community, so as not to shift costs to other RMP
customers.
Recognizing that Salt Lake City is the community with the largest population and electricity load of all 19
URC communities and could thus most benefit from the Program’s impact, the Sustainability Department
agreed to request budget allocation that could be obligated, allowing Salt Lake City to sign such a
contract with Rocky Mountain Power. As confirmed in recent conversations with RMP staff, the Startup
Costs will remain approximately the same whether solely Salt Lake City participates in the program, or all
19 communities.
The Startup Cost estimate we are using for Budget Amendment 5 is the one RMP provided to the PSC of
$820,169, plus an additional 10% contingency.
While this number is an estimate and actual costs would vary, we believe it is on the higher end of what
would be required, allowing us to move forward contractually.
Furthermore, it is very unlikely that Salt Lake City would end up needing to pay this money to RMP.
Rather, it is being identified and held as a backstop in order to sign the Startup Cost agreement.
That is because it is estimated the Program could generate around $18 million in revenues each year at
the PSC-approved initial rate of $4 per month for residential customers and $0.00609 per kWh for non-
residential customers.
At these rates, it is likely that the Startup Cost estimate of $820,169 will be more than recovered from a
single month of Program revenue.
Given RMP’s requirement that a contract be in place and the high likelihood that the full cost will be
recovered through one month of Program revenues, it is very likely that this Startup Cost budget can be
de-obligated shortly after Program revenue collection begins. These details have been worked into the
contractual language that is currently being negotiated with RMP.
Salt Lake City is separately talking with other communities that are part of the Agency on their potential
contributions to reimburse the City, in the case that the Startup Costs are collected.
Conclusion
After nearly a decade of thoughtful, intentional, and complex work to plan, design, negotiate, and apply
for approval, the Community Clean Energy Program has been approved by the PSC. This milestone starts
a 90-day clock for each of the 19 communities involved in URC to consider enacting the approved
Program by adopting the program ordinance by June 2, 2026. If adopted, the first customer notices are
15
expected to go out in late 2026, and the new clean energy line item will appear in early 2027 on
customers’ RMP bills.

FROM: Michael Sanders
Budget & Policy Analyst
DATE: April 14, 2026
RE:UPDATES TO THE NO CAMPING ORDINANCE
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will be briefed on a proposal to update the current camping ordinance to address growing
challenges arising from the increased use of public spaces (parks, sidewalks, park strips, etc.) as living spaces for
use such as sleeping, storing property or preparing meals. The proposal updates the definition of camping and
consolidates existing rules to be clearer and focused on behaviors that cause problems, while aiming for humane
and compassionate enforcement. This proposal will accomplish one of the actions outlined in the Public Safety
Plan
Below is a summary of the key changes to the camping definition.
Camping now includes more than tents—covers broader “living accommodation” behaviors.
Applies to all public property (not just parks), including sidewalks.
New definition includes:
o Sleeping outdoors or in vehicles on public property during closed hours (11 PM–5 AM)
o Leaving personal property unattended on public property closed to the public
o Using public space or vehicles as a residence or dwelling for living accommodation purposes
“Living accommodation purposes” (2+ indicators like sleeping, storing items, cooking,
hygiene, or setting up structures)
Goal of the briefing: Provide feedback to the Administration and prepare to consider the ordinance at a
future formal meeting A Public Hearing for this item is scheduled for May 5th.
Schedule:
Page | 2
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. Does Council support the current list of indicators of “living accommodation purposes used to establish
unlawful camping when public property (and vehicles on public property) is being used as a
residence/dwelling?
a. Should the “two or more indicators” approach be adjusted (e.g., add/remove indicators)?
2. Does Council support the proposal’s prohibition of sleeping outdoors and addition of a prohibition of
sleeping in vehicles tied to public property closure and/or nighttime hours (11:00 PM–5:00 AM)?
a. Are there specific areas or circumstances where Council wants extended exceptions or expanded
prohibitions)?
b. The Council may wish to ask how enforcing on vehicle camping provides law enforcement with
clearer more enforceable standards.
3. Does Council support the proposed two-minute “no obstruction” rule for entrances/egress and public
thoroughfares (sidewalks, streets, park strips, trails), including an ADA clear-passage standard?
a. If Council wants a different threshold, what is the preferred standard (e.g., longer time,
warning-first structure, or “reasonable opportunity to comply” language), and how should it
balance practical enforceability for staff, public accessibility/safety, and reasonable notice
expectations
4. The Council may wish to ask the Administration what training the Police Department will receive on the
updated camping/living-accommodation provisions, and how will the Administration ensure consistent
application across staff and shifts?
5. To have a clear understanding of the changes, the Council may wish to ask the Administration to provide
a walk-through of a typical enforcement scenario from first contact to resolution.
6. The Council may wish to ask the Administration what the various diversified response teams roles would
be during enforcement (e.g., outreach, service connection, de-escalation, follow-up).
New definition of camping
The proposal updates and clarifies the existing camping prohibitions. Currently, the ordinance addresses
traditional camping—such as erecting tents or using other camping equipment on “public grounds,” streets, and
in parks and playgrounds. The proposed revisions consolidate these property location terms and applies the
prohibition to “public property” and seeks to clarify and modernize the definition of “camping” to address more
recent concerns arising from the increased use of public property for living accommodations. This includes not
only parks but also sidewalks and other public property and could apply even in situations where no camping
equipment is used but the activity nonetheless constitutes camping.
The new definition of camping includes:
Sleeping outdoors on public property that is closed, or between 11:00 PM–5:00 AM;
Sleeping in vehicles during those same closed hours/conditions;
Leaving personal property unattended on public property closed to the public;
Using a vehicle or public property as a residence/dwelling for living accommodation purposes.
Using or occupying public property for “living accommodation purposes”
o Living accommodation purposes is demonstrated through two or more of the following
indicia:
Sleeping
Storing personal property
Preparing or consuming meals using camp stoves or otherwise making fires in an
unauthorized area
Establishing or occupying sleeping quarters or otherwise laying down bedding for
sleeping purposes
Erecting or occupying temporary structures, including but not limited to tents, tarps,
tarpaulins, huts, lean-tos, awnings, or shacks
Engaging in personal hygiene activities, toileting or bathing outside designated facilities
Page | 3
When camping is prohibited/allowed
The general rule is that camping (as defined in the proposal) on public property is not allowed unless one of the
listed exceptions applies:
Authorization of a property owner;
Along a permitted parade route in the 24 hours prior to and through the parade;
After the Mayor declares a local emergency and camping is necessary
Even if camping would otherwise be permitted under an applicable exception, camping in the following locations
or manner is prohibited:
Where there’s an immediate threat/unreasonable risk to persons, public health/safety, or vital
government services;
Within 1000 feet of certain facilities (overnight shelters, permanent supportive housing, designated
warming/cooling centers, hospitals, urgent care, walk-in clinics for physical or mental health);
Within 500 feet of daycares, senior centers, and primary/secondary schools;
Within 10 feet of driveways or building entrances/exits;
Within an RCO riparian corridor overlay area
Additionally, vehicle camping is also subject to the parking regulations found in City Code Chapter 12.56.
If an encampment is discovered, this proposal outlines the process for removal of an encampment/personal
property by City employees/authorized agents if one of several conditions exists, including:
After reasonable notice, an individual refuses refusal to remove their personal property (reasonable
notice may include signage)
Encampment appears to be abandoned personal property
Probable cause of other illegal activity
Immediate danger to life/health/safety (including contamination by unsanitary/hazardous waste)
The proposal indicated a provision that non-abandoned encampments may not be removed during a “code blue”
event. This provision is included in order to be consistent with state code on code blue alerts, 35A-16-703(6).
When an encampment is being removed:
Property that comes into possession of law enforcement is handled under Utah Code Title 77 and other
existing City provisions/policies.
Abandoned personal property and waste/unsanitary items may be immediately discarded.
Currently, Section 11.12.080 requires individuals violating the camping prohibitions to remove camping
equipment within five minutes after being requested to do so by a police officer. Additionally, Section 14.20.100
currently prohibits individuals from standing, lying, or sitting on any sidewalk in a manner that obstructs the
free passage of pedestrians for longer than two minutes, or from willfully remaining in such a manner for more
than one minute after being requested to move by a police officer.
The proposal consolidates these time requirements and updates the definition of “sidewalk” and adds a
provision making it unlawful to obstruct building entrances or exits, as well as various public thoroughfares—
including streets, sidewalks, park strips, medians, driveways, and trails by:
Sitting, lying, or sleeping, or by storing, using, maintaining, or placing personal property for longer than
two (2) minutes, or in a manner that obstructs ADA-compliant passage.
Page | 4
Park hours
The proposal clarifies that parks (including Library Square and Public Safety Building plaza) and “public
squares” are closed 11:00 PM–5:00 AM, including the park strips adjacent to such parks and public squares.
Below are some special exceptions to the general park hours.
Lee Charles Miller Bird Refuge and Nature Park: 9:00 PM–5:00 AM;
Donner Trail Park and East Bench Preserve: 10:00 PM–5:00 AM;
“All parks… five (5) acres or less” generally closed 10:00 PM–5:00 AM, with City Creek Park at 11:00
PM–5:00 AM.
Memorial House
o The Memorial House shall close to public use at 12:00 a.m. (midnight).
o Outdoor activities on the leased south lawn shall end by 11:30 p.m.
o The Memorial House must be locked and vacant no later than 2:00 a.m.
o Between 12:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m., use of the building is limited to employees cleaning the
premises following an event.
The ordinance establishes a two-part compliance framework based on the location of the violation.
First, for encampments located on public property that is not part of a right-of-way (such as hillsides,
riverbanks, or open fields), enforcement requires that individuals be provided with notice and an opportunity to
comply. This may occur through direct notification from an officer or through posted signage. In these
situations, individuals are often present for longer periods and may have accumulated personal belongings,
making immediate removal impractical. Accordingly, a “reasonable notice” standard is applied to allow
sufficient time for compliance.
Second, for encampments or materials located within a right-of-way or other areas where they obstruct
passage—such as sidewalks, park strips, roadways, medians, or access points like doorways and driveways—the
ordinance allows for more immediate enforcement. In these cases, individuals are subject to a two-minute
compliance window. This time standard is consistent with the City’s existing loitering provisions and reflects the
need to maintain clear and safe thoroughfares. Due to public safety considerations, it is not feasible to delay
enforcement for extended periods in these high-traffic or access-critical areas.

Background/Discussion
The intent of this transmittal is to update Salt Lake City ’s municipal code to address challenges arising from the use of public spaces as living accommodations, which exceeds the intended purpose of those areas. The comprehensive revisions are intended to promote efficiency in government, foster community harmony, preserve public spaces for their intended use, and address public health, safety and welfare concerns, all while doing so in a humane and compassionate manner that focuses enforcement on conduct causing negative impacts to the community. It is the city ’s goal to ensure these public spaces are equally accessible to all residents and visitors of the city.
The city ’s current ordinance prohibits camping or erecting tents and other camping equipment in any city park. This narrow prohibition does not address more recent issues arising from the increased use of public spaces (including parks but also encompassing sidewalks and other public property) as residential spaces while not using any camping equipment at all, but which nonetheless poses risks to public health and safety. The proposed ordinance changes seek to better define these prohibited activities and better equip the city with enforcement mechanisms to preserve these public spaces for equal enjoyment by all.
The current camping provision and other regulations on the use of public spaces such as parks, park strips, sidewalks, streets, and other public property, are dispersed throughout various chapters of the municipal code, which can be confusing to citizens and city staff. Consolidating these regulations under Chapter 11.12, Offenses Against Public Order, and defining key terms brings the city ’s camping regulations and related ordinances into a unified, clearer framework that enhances readability, improves understanding, and promotes more efficient and consistent government oversight. It is important to note that any prohibition on camping within the city is but one tool available to the city to address the adverse impacts on public health, safety, and access to public spaces that have accompanied the increase of people living in spaces not meant for human
habitation; it is not intended as a punitive enforcement tool to be used against unhoused individuals. Similarly, the proposed changes are not meant to address the underlying causes of homelessness—those must be addressed through proactive policies meant to address housing, shelter and other services.
The new proposal would:
•Continue to broadly prohibit camping in parks, as well as extend this prohibition to other public property. This prohibition is subject to a few notable exceptions, including permission by the government property owner, designated routes prior to and during permitted parades, and pursuant to a Mayoral declaration of emergency and any accompanying orders. o Notwithstanding the allowable exceptions, under no circumstance may camping activities be permitted if they pose an immediate threat or an unreasonable risk of harm to any person or to the public health or safety, or if they pose a disruption to vital government services. o Additionally, even under the allowable exceptions, camping activities are never permitted within 1000 feet from an overnight shelter, permanent supportive housing, designated warming/cooling center, hospital, urgent care facility, or walk-in health clinic; within 500 feet from any daycare, senior center, primary or secondary school; within 10 feet from a driveway or building entrance/exit; or within an RCO riparian corridor.
•Consolidate camping prohibitions from two different chapters of code (11.12, Offenses Against Public Order and 15.08, Park Rules) into one section within Chapter 11.12, Offenses Against Public Order.•Define “camp” or “camping” and other key terms. The definitions seek to provide a modern definition reflective of the current challenges arising from the use of public property as residential spaces or other forms of living accommodation. The defined term “camp” or “camping” includes:o Sleeping outdoors in or on public property closed to the public, or between the hours of 11:00PM and 5:00AM.o Sleeping in a vehicle in or on public property closed to the public, or between the hours of 11:00PM and 5:00AM.o Leaving personal property unattended in or on public property closed to the public.o Using a vehicle in or on public property for living accommodation purposes.o Using or occupying public property as a residence or dwelling for living accommodation purposes.
•Provide clarity on what constitutes “using or occupying public property for living accommodation purposes” by providing that evidence or observations of two or more of the following constitutes indica that public property is being used for living accommodation purposes: sleeping, storing of personal property, preparing or consuming meals, using camp stoves or otherwise making fires in an unauthorized area, establishing or occupying sleeping quarters or otherwise laying down of bedding for sleeping purposes, erecting or occupying temporary structures, including but not limited to tents, tarps, tarpaulins, huts, lean-tos, awnings, or shacks, or engaging in personal hygiene activities, toileting or bathing outside designated facilities.
•Consolidate and clarify regulations related to vehicular and pedestrian thoroughfares and points of building ingress and egress while continuing to prohibit individuals from obstructing these spaces for more than 2 minutes to help ensure safe and unobstructed access to the public for their intended purpose. The administration understands that some may feel that this time frame is not sufficient time for compliance, and is open to other reasonable proposals, provided they do not unduly burden city staff charged with enforcement.
•Continue to regulate the use of city parks and public squares through designated park hours and provide more clarity that adjacent park strips are subject to the same closures as their neighboring park or public square. The hours of closure have been updated to better reflect the current uses of city parks and public squares, ensuring they remain accessible, well-managed, and responsive to community needs.
We understand that this proposed ordinance will not address all current and future nuisance issues occurring in parks and other public spaces. Some of those should be handled elsewhere in city code.
We also want to be clear that the intent of the new ordinance is to protect all people’s right to access and use public parks and other spaces for the purposes for which they are intended, and to do so in ways that do not compromise general public health and safety or inhibit the accessibility of all people to those spaces. To these ends, we have proposed language in a “Purpose” section within the draft ordinance that is intended to supplement the ordinance’s reading and guide enforcement policies developed by police and other city departments to fulfill its intent.

SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. ______ of 2026
(Camping on or Obstructing Public Property and Park Rules)
An ordinance amending various sections of the Salt Lake City Code relating to camping
on public grounds, streets, parks, and playgrounds, park hours, disposing of unclaimed property,
and obstructing sidewalks
WHEREAS, Salt Lake City Corporation (the “City”) considers one of its foremost
responsibilities to set standards for the preservation and protection of human life, health and
safety of all City residents;
WHEREAS, the City has seen an increase in the use of public spaces a living
accommodations, for example, for uses such as sleeping, storing personal property, preparing or
cooking meals, and toileting or personal hygiene, which uses exceed the intended purpose of
public spaces and compromise public health, safety, and welfare;
WHEREAS, the City currently prohibits camping, lodging, cooking, making a fire,
pitching a tent, fly, lean to, tarpaulin, or any other type of camping equipment in public spaces;
WHEREAS, it is necessary to amend the current prohibition on camping to more broadly
encompass all living accommodation activity that more accurately describes the conduct being
observed in public spaces throughout the City, as well as to extend this prohibition to apply to
the use of vehicles as living accommodations;
WHEREAS, it is also the purpose of the City to establish a process for the removal of
encampments and personal property found on public property to promote the health safety, and
welfare of City residents and users of public property.
WHEREAS the City additionally wishes to consolidate and clarify various ordinances in
City code that regulate the use and obstruction of public spaces and rights of way, to reduce
confusion among City staff and citizens and ensure proper enforcement;
2
WHEREAS, the City is committed to protecting the rights of individuals related to their
personal property and to treating individuals and their property with respect and consideration in
the enforcement of these ordinances; and
WHEREAS, for these purposes, and with the balance of these critical interests in mind,
the City finds it necessary to make certain amendments to the Salt Lake City Code as provided

COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Kate Werrett
Budget & Policy Analyst
DATE:April 14, 2026
RE:GENERAL PLAN AND ZONING MAP AMENDMENT AT APPROXIMATELY 346, 350, 354,
370 SOUTH 800 EAST, AND 775 EAST 400 SOUTH
PLNPCM2025-00660 and PLNPCM2025-00641
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will be briefed on a proposal to amend the zoning of the properties at approximately 346, 350, and
354 South 800 East from RMF-35 (Moderate Density Residential Multi-Family) to MU-5 (Mixed Use 5). The
proposal would also amend the Central Community Plan Future Land Use Map of the properties at
approximately 346, 350, 354, 370 South 800 East and 775 East 400 South from Medium Density Residential
(15-30 dwelling units/acre) and Medium Density Transit-Oriented Development (10-50 dwelling units/acre) to
High Density Transit Oriented Development (50 or more dwelling units/acre). The proposed amendments
would allow the construction of a mixed-use building encompassing 109 total residential units and ground-floor
commercial space, which includes 2-,3- and 4- bedroom units.
The properties currently contain three existing residential buildings, including seven apartment units. In
addition to the requested amendments, the applicant is seeking design review approval to exceed the maximum
building façade length of 200’, which the Planning Commission will reconsider after the Council takes action on
this proposal. The project is within Council District 4.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed master plan and zoning map amendments during its
November 12, 2025 meeting and held a public hearing at which eight people spoke, sharing concerns about solar
blockage to neighboring lots, the bulk and height of the proposed building, and incentivizing neglect. Planning
staff recommended approval of the proposed amendments. For the zoning plan amendment, the
Planning Commission voted 4:3 to recommend City Council approval. Those opposed to a positive
recommendation for the zoning plan amendment were concerned the proposed zone was not suitable for the
location, building length concerns, Linden Street width, and shading caused by the building height on Linden
Schedule:
Page | 2
Street homes. The Planning Commission voted 6:1 to recommend denial of the general plan
amendment because evidence was not provided demonstrating the proposal complies with Consideration 3:
Applicant’s Community Benefit, Unit Replacement, and Tenant Displacement Proposals.

Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed general plan and zoning map amendments, and determine if the
Council supports moving forward with the proposal.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to discuss whether they want the Central Community Plan to reflect medium
density residential and medium density transit oriented development or high density transit oriented
development residential development in this area.
2. Is the Council supportive of the proposed zoning map and general plan amendments?
3. Is the Council interested in formalizing any tenant displacement and relocation requirements in the a
development agreement?
ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Council is being asked to consider rezoning the subject properties and amending the future land use map
within the Central Community Plan. The applicant submitted a Design Review application, PLNPCM2025-
00856, which the Planning Commission will take action on after the City Council determination on the rezone
and general plan amendment.
The following table summarizes the proposed amendments for each of the subject parcels.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Planning staff identified four key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 12-23 of the
Planning Commission Staff Report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the staff report.
Consideration 1: Compliance with City Goals, Policies, and General Plans
Planning staff reviewed how the proposed zoning and plan amendments align with the Central Community
Plan, Plan Salt Lake, 400 South Livable Communities Project, and Housing SLC. Planning staff believes goals
and objectives from several plans show the applicant's compliance with Salt Lake’s vision for the 400 South
corridor.
Central Community Plan: The Planning Commission staff report includes the Central Community Plan
objective to have “the highest residential densities and most intense land uses” in the area of these
applications. Planning staff also commented on the vicinity of the project parcels to transit, and this
Transit Oriented Development direction within the community plan:
“Transit Oriented Development can target specific properties, such as those along the 400 South
corridor, for redevelopment that do not affect the historic character of the neighborhood. New
development should occur on vacant or noncontributing sites and should be compatible with the
historic district. The goal is to allow higher density structures where commercial zoning exists to meet
the desired population density in TOD area while eliminating demolition pressures on contributing
historic structures.”
Plan Salt Lake: Planning found that the Plan Salt Lake notes goals for neighborhoods, growth, housing,
transportation & mobility, and air quality, which these applications support.
400 South Livable Communities Project: Planning staff shared that this plan encourages mixed-use
development within ½ mile of transit stops. The project parcels are designed to be mixed-use and are
less than ¼ mile from a heavily used transit stop. Additionally, planning staff shared that the proposed
development could be considered a “transition” from the Central Business urban core to the adjacent
Page | 5
urban neighborhoods. The 400 South Livable Communities Project calls for density in the application
area.
Housing SLC: Planning staff found the general plan and zoning map amendments are consistent with
Housing SLC’s goal of increasing the city’s housing stock, as it provides units with varying unit sizes
near transit.
Consideration 2: RMF-35 vs. MU-5 Zoning District Comparison
Two of the five subject properties are currently zoned MU-5 and the applicant hopes to rezone the three
northern parcels from RMF-35 to MU-5 with this application. The remainder of the block is zoned MU-5. Prior
to the October 2025 zoning consolidation, several parcels on this block were TSA-UN-T. The three parcels that
the applicant applied to rezone are proposed to have multi-family residential units only.

As outlined in the Planning Commission staff report, the Planning staff concluded that the design review
standards reduce the impacts of increased development.
Consideration 3: Applicant’s Community Benefit, Unit Replacement, and Tenant Displacement
Proposals
Community Benefit
Tenant Displacement
Unit Replacement
Consideration 4: Façade Length Requirements
Page | 8
As determined by Planning staff, design review is required under Salt Lake City Code Section 21A.37.060 and
Salt Lake City Code Section 21A.59.050 due to the project’s noncompliance with the maximum façade length
standard. Specifically, the proposed building exceeds the 200-foot limit for a street-facing façade, measuring
approximately 273 feet along 800 East. This standard ensures building massing remains consistent with the
city’s historic development patterns.
Façade Length Mitigation
Analysis of Factors
Attachment E (pages 125-136) of the Planning Commission staff report outlines master plan and zoning map
amendment standards that should be considered as the Council reviews this proposal. It is Planning staff’s
opinion that the proposed master plan amendment changing the future land use map from Medium Density
residential and Medium Density Transit-Oriented Development to High Density Transit Oriented Development
fulfills the intended outcomes of policies within the Central Community Master Plan. Please see the Planning
Commission staff report for additional information. The table below summarizes Planning Consideration

RECOMMENDATION:
PLNPCM2025-00660 – Deny the Central Community master plan as recommended by Planning
Commission.
PLNPCM2025-00641 – Approve the zoning map amendment request for the properties located at 346
S. 800 E, 350 S. 800 E. and 354 S. 800 E. from RMF-35 to MU-5 as
recommended by Planning Commission.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Sean Thompson, representing the property owner, Hardage Hospitality, is requesting approval from
Salt Lake City to amend the Central Community Future Land Use Map designations and zoning map for
the following properties: 346 S. 800 E., 350 S. 800 E., 354 S. 800 E., 370 S 800 E, and 775 E. 400 S. The
second request only impacts 346 S. 800 E., 350 S. 800 E. and 354 S. 800 E. The applicant is seeking the
amendments to enable the construction of a mixed-use building encompassing 109 total residential units
and ground floor commercial space. The building will also offer multi-bedroom units, including 2-, 3-, and
4-bedroom units, if approved. The request must adhere to the Community Benefit standards outlined in
21A.50.050. Both requests went to Planning Commission on November 11, 2025. The Planning
Commission recommended denial for the Central Community Plan Future Land Use Map amendment and
approval for the Zoning Map amendment.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES:
The proposed changes includes 2 petitions.
REQUEST 1: Central Community Future Land Use Map
The subject properties are currently identified as “Medium Density Transit Oriented Development (10-50
dwelling units/acre)” and “Medium Density Residential (15-30 dwelling units/acre)”. The plan
amendment seeks to change the General Plan Future Land Use Map designation of all the properties to
High Density Transit Oriented Development. The existing uses are 1 single-story commercial building
and 3 residential buildings. The subject properties are located in the boundaries of the Central Community
Plan area where a variety of medium density housing types and a mix of neighborhood serving uses are
appropriate. The subject properties are located in the Bryant neighborhood, which is characterized by
diverse architectural styles and a wide variety of land uses, with a strong commercial presence along 400
South. This request would maintain consistency between the Future Land Use Map and the desired units
per acre. The case number for request 1 is PLNPCM2025-00660.
REQUEST 2: Zoning Map Amendment
The second proposal is to rezone 3 of the 5 properties from RMF-35 (Moderate Density Residential Multi-
Family) to MU-5 (Mixed-Use 5) District. The MU-5 district allows for greater density, height and a wider
range of uses than permitted in the RMF-35 zoning district. If the zoning map amendment is approved, the
applicant intends to apply for a lot consolidation to combine the subject properties and construct a mixed-
use multi-family and storefront development consisting of approximately 109 residential units and
approximately 2,590 square feet of publicly accessible retail space. The applicant is proposing to meet the
requirements of the Community Benefit, Tenant Displacement, and Unit Replacement standards located in
Section 21A.50.050 of the Zoning Ordinance. The case number for request 2 is PLNPCM2025-00641.

COUNCIL CONSIDERATIONS:
The proposed amendments must meet the consideration factors outlined in Chapters 19 and 21A of the Salt
Lake City Code. Included in these factors are compliance with citywide policies, goals, and applicable
plans. The applicant must indicate the project’s compliance with efforts by the city to mitigate tenant
displacement and unit demolition, along with the proportionality of the community benefit proposed by the
petitioner and the increase in the development potential of the site. Section 19.06 of the City Code outlines
the process for general plans and amendments. Section 19.06.070 lists the factors to consider for
amendments to the general plan, and a complete analysis of those standards is found in Attachment E of
the Staff Report. A decision to amend a plan is ultimately up to the discretion of the City Council.
The proposed community benefit is intended to provide housing that aligns with the community needs and
the applicable general plan by increasing the number of units on the land from 5 units to 109 units. Of these
109 units, 24% are two-, three-, and four-bedroom units. The development also exceeds the city’s
commercial frontage requirements, providing 2,590 square feet of active ground -floor commercial space
along 400 South, designed to serve both residents and the broader community.
Details regarding the community benefit requirements, tenant relocation assistance and unit replacement
will need to be finalized as part of the development agreement, but have been deemed sufficient to advance
to a public hearing.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
• Early Notification – On May 10th, 2025, notice of the proposal was mailed to all property owners
and tenants within 300 feet of the property. The East Bench Community Council a was sent the 45-
day required notice for recognized community organizations. Staff and the applicant attended the
August 14, 2025, community council meeting. An online open house has been posted on the
Planning Division’s website since July 2025.
• Planning Commission Meeting – The petition was heard by the Planning Commission at a public
hearing on November 12, 2025. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to forward a
recommendation of approval for the request, with the following conditions of approval:
1) Council review the components of Thriving in Place to ensure they are all represented in the
potential rezone.
2) The following provisions be incorporated into a development agreement for the zoning map
amendment:
a. Each demolished residential dwelling unit shall be replaced in accordance with
21A.50.050.E.
b. The developer shall provide tenant relocation assistance to tenants displaced by the
demolition of the residential dwelling units on the subject properties as specified in
subsection 21A.50.050.D.

Purpose for the Amendment
The primary purpose of this zoning amendment is to facilitate significant housing production in direct response to Salt
Lake City's acute housing crisis. As outlined in Housing SLC, the city must entitle 10,000 new housing units between
2023-2027 to address both projected population growth and existing housing deficits. This project transforms 7 existing
substandard units into 109 modern, code-compliant residential units—representing a 15-fold increase in housing
capacity on underutilized urban land.
This requests a zoning map amendment for parcels 16-05-303-015, 16-05-303-016, and 16-05-303-017 from RMF-35
(Residential Multi-Family, 35' Maximum Height) to MU-5 (Mixed Use, 5 stories). This amendment will enable the
redevelopment of underutilized properties containing deteriorated residential structures and a vacant, fire-damaged
commercial building into a vibrant mixed-use development that directly advances Salt Lake City's housing and
economic development objectives.

Purpose for the Amendment
Addressing Critical Housing Shortage
The primary purpose of this zoning amendment is to facilitate significant housing production in direct response to Salt Lake
City's acute housing crisis. As outlined in Housing SLC, the city must entitle 10,000 new housing units between 2023-2027 to
address both projected population growth and existing housing deficits. This project transforms 7 existing substandard units
into 109 modern, code-compliant residential units—representing a 15-fold increase in housing capacity on underutilized urban
land.
Creating Mixed-Use Urban Environment
The MU-5 zoning designation will enable a true mixed-use development featuring approximately 3,460 square feet of ground-
floor commercial space alongside diverse residential options. This mixed-use approach eliminates the current vacant
commercial eyesore while creating space for multiple local businesses, charitable organizations, and community services that
enhance neighborhood walkability and economic vitality.
Maximizing Transit-Adjacent Development
Located just 600 feet from two TRAX stops with exceptional walkability scores (80s-90s), this site represents an ideal
opportunity for transit-oriented development. The MU-5 zoning supports appropriate density and mixed-use character that
reduces car dependency, supports public transit investment, and promotes sustainable urban growth patterns.

Justification for the Amendment
1. Alignment with City Planning Objectives
Housing SLC Implementation: In June of 2023, the Salt Lake City Council voted to adopt Housing SLC, a five-year
plan that is to “serve as a guiding document for the City over the next five years, providing a framework for action across
City Departments and Divisions” (Housing SLC, page 58). Goal 1 of this plan is to entitle 10,000 new housing units
between 2023 and 2027. The population of Salt Lake City is projected to increase by 6,000 during the five-year period of
the Plan, which will require an additional 3,000 new housing units on top of the existing deficit (Housing SLC, page 9).
The problem is that there is very limited buildable land on which these additional units can be placed within the City.
Many parts of the city are unable to be developed due to the presence of wetlands and foothills. Areas in proximity to
the Salt Lake City International Airport cannot be built on due to Federal Aviation Administration regulations. Most of the
developable land has already been built on. We are out of land to continue growing outward. The solution is greater
density - providing more housing on the existing developable land.
New developments in Salt Lake City are required to select at least five Moderate Income Housing Plan (MIHP) strategies
that will be incorporated into the project. Projects must utilize at least six strategies in order to be eligible for state
funding. Four of the strategies have to do with rezoning or amending regulations in order to allow for higher density and
more multifamily residential dwellings (Strategies A, F, G, and W; Housing SLC, pages 28-29).
The Housing SLC plan states that “The crisis we are currently facing has been decades in the making and extends
beyond the municipal boundaries of the city, reaching across the county, the state, and the nation. It will take
collaboration across governmental, non-profit, community, and private partners to work through this housing crisis.”
That includes us. That includes you. The proposed rezoning and subsequent project helps meet these City goals.
Currently, these lots host 7 units (4 one-bed, 1 two-bed, 1 three-bed, and 1 four-bed) while the proposed project would
host 109 units (22 studio, 61 one-bed, 22 two-bed, 3 three-bed, and 1 four-bed).
Mixed-Use Development Support: The project exemplifies the mixed-use, walkable development promoted
throughout Salt Lake City's planning documents, creating an integrated live-work-shop environment that reduces
transportation demand and supports local economic activity.

800 E Properties Rezone
Justification for the Amendment
2. Zoning Consistency and Logical Planning: The block in question is already predominantly zoned TSA-
UN-T (~93%). Rezoning the remaining RMF-35 parcels to MU-5 will establish a consistent zoning pattern, reduce
regulatory complexity, and support coherent urban planning. The initial request was for TSA-UN-T; however, during
the application review, the zoning designation was changed to MU-5. The current request aligns with that
designation and seeks to formally rezone the parcels to MU-5.
3. Optimal Land Use and Site Conditions:
Underutilized Property Transformation: The current site contains deteriorated structures that cannot economically
be renovated to meet current building codes and livability standards. The existing 4-plex, duplex, and single-family home
are in poor condition, while the commercial space has been vacant and fire-damaged. Redevelopment represents the
highest and best use of this prime urban location.
Infrastructure Readiness: The development team is actively coordinating with Salt Lake City Public Utilities
Department and utility consultants to evaluate infrastructure capacity needed to support the proposed project. Ongoing
discussions indicate that the necessary systems can be planned to accommodate the development. In addition, a Traffic
Impact Study has been prepared and is currently under review. Preliminary coordination with UDOT suggests that
transportation impacts can be addressed, particularly given the site’s strong transit access and walkability.

4. Enhanced Public Safety and Emergency Access
Fire Department Coordination: The project design has been developed in consultation with Salt Lake City Fire
Department to ensure optimal emergency access. Current site constraints, including narrow streets and overhead
power lines, limit emergency vehicle access under existing zoning. The MU-5 development enables unified site
planning that significantly improves fire and emergency access compared to the fragmented current configuration.
Modern Safety Standards: New construction will meet all current building and fire safety codes, replacing aged
structures with modern safety systems and accessibility features.

Justification for the Amendment
Due to physical site constraints, aerial fire access from 800 East is not feasible. The road width, which cannot be
increased, and presence of high voltage power lines prevent compliance with Salt Lake City Fire Department standards
for aerial operations. Per Salt Lake City Code, the Fire Department requires a minimum of 25% of the building perimeter
to be aerial apparatus accessible in order to ensure life safety and fire protection. Given the limitations along 800 East,
the only viable way to meet this requirement is to provide aerial access along Linden Avenue and 400 South, which offer
sufficient clearance, appropriate setbacks, and operational space for fire equipment. The requested zone change to
MU-5 supports this layout by enabling a development form that can meet fire access requirements while also
contributing to the city’s goals for higher-density, transit-oriented design.
5. Economic and Community Development
Substantial Private Investment: The project represents significant private investment in neighborhood
infrastructure and housing stock, generating construction employment and ongoing economic activity.
Local Business Support: The 3,460 square feet of commercial space will accommodate multiple local businesses,
professional services, and potentially charitable organizations, creating local employment and serving daily needs of
residents and the surrounding community.
Community-Endorsed Development: Local community area representatives have provided positive feedback on
the project's approach to addressing vacant properties and increasing family housing options.
6. Family Housing Production
Critical Family Unit Shortage: The project increases family-sized units (2-4 bedrooms) from 3 existing to 26
proposed— an eight-fold increase that directly addresses the shortage of family housing in Salt Lake City's urban core.
The unit mix specifically responds to diverse household needs identified in the General Plan:
• 22 studio units for workforce housing • 61 one-bedroom units for diverse household types
• 22 two-bedroom units for small families • 3 three-bedroom units for larger families
• 1 four-bedroom unit for larger families

7. Environmental and Transportation Benefits
Urban Infill Development: The project represents responsible urban infill that maximizes existing infrastructure rather
than encouraging sprawling greenfield development.
Reduced Transportation Demand: The combination of transit access, high walkability, and integrated commercial
space minimizes vehicle trips per unit, supporting the city's sustainability and transportation efficiency goals.

8. Compatibility with Surrounding Neighborhood Character
Because the adjacent properties to the South and West are already zoned MU-5, the proposed amendment will not
introduce incompatible land uses or disrupt the existing development pattern. Instead, it will promote continuity in
building scale, architectural design, and streetscape character, thereby enhancing neighborhood cohesion. To ensure a
sensitive and gradual transition from the MU-5 zone to the adjacent RMF-35 zone north of Linden Avenue, the
proposed development will comply with the angular plane requirements outlined in Salt Lake City Code Section
21A.37.050. Specifically, a 45-degree angular plane measured from the shared property lines provides a clear
framework for scaling down from higher-density, high-rise forms to lower-scale residential development. This design
approach mitigates potential impacts on neighboring properties and supports a compatible urban form that respects
the established residential context.

9. Solar Shading Study:
The comprehensive solar shading study demonstrates that the proposed 4-story mixed-use building at 370 S 800 E
will not create adverse solar access impacts on neighboring properties. Key findings include:
Contained Shadow Patterns: Shadows fall predominantly within the development site boundaries and on public
street areas, Seasonal Stability: Both equinox and winter solstice conditions show consistent pattern of contained
shadow impact, Time-of-Day Analysis: Morning and afternoon peak periods demonstrate minimal extension of
shadows onto neighboring private properties.
Responsible Building Design: Appropriate Scale: 4-story height balances density objectives with neighborhood
compatibility, Strategic Orientation: Building placement and design minimize shadow extension during critical daylight
hours, Transition Elements: Angular plane compliance and height stepping provide appropriate transitions to adjacent
properties.
Regulatory and Community Compatibility: Standards Compliance: Project meets all MU-5 zoning requirements
for height, setbacks, and building relationships. Urban Context: Shadow patterns appropriate for established urban
mixed-use area with existing infrastructure and development. Net Community Benefit: Minimal shadow impact is
significantly outweighed by housing production, commercial activation, and neighborhood improvement benefits.
The solar study confirms that this well-designed mixed-use development will integrate successfully into the
neighborhood fabric while preserving appropriate solar access for surrounding properties. The building's scale,
orientation, and positioning demonstrate careful consideration of neighboring properties' solar access needs while
achieving important community housing and economic development objectives.

Future Development
1. Proposed Use of the Property: Upon approval of the requested Zoning Map Amendment, the affected property is
intended for development as a five-story structure designed and constructed in accordance with MU-5 zoning
requirements. The development will feature active ground-floor uses, including commercial space, and amenity and
support spaces to engage the street scape and contribute to a vibrant pedestrian environment.
Parking will be incorporated internally within the structure to minimize its visual impact and support transit-oriented goals.
Residential units will occupy floors one through five, providing a mix of housing types from studio to three bedroom units,
consistent with the City’s goals for increased density and walkability in transit station areas. (Refer to Floor Plans)
2. Proposed Density of the Property: The current zoning designation, RMF-35 (Residential Multi-Family), permits a
building height of up to 55 feet.
The proposed MU-5 (Mixed Use, 5 stories) zoning allows for increased residential density and a maximum building
height of up to 50 feet, subject to compliance with design and compatibility standards outlined in the Salt Lake City Code.
Approval of this zone change would allow for the addition of approximately 24 residential units (studios, 1bed, 2bed, 3bed
and 4bed) beyond what is currently permitted under RMF-35. This increase in density supports a more efficient use of
the land in a transit-adjacent location and enables the development of a four-story, mixed-use building.
The proposed density and height are compatible with the surrounding context and further the City’s goals for walkable,
transit-oriented, and higher-intensity urban neighborhoods.

3. Scale of the Development: The proposed development will consist of a five-story, mixed-use building that reflects the
scale and character encouraged in the MU-5 zoning district. The structure will reach a height of approximately 55 feet to the
roof, consistent with the maximum height allowed under the MU-5 zone and in keeping with surrounding buildings within
the block, the majority of which are already recently zoned MU-5.
Along Linden Avenue, the building will incorporate a 45-degree angular plane from the shared property lines, as required
by Salt Lake City Code Section 21A.37.050, to provide a visually appropriate step-down in height and massing. This
approach minimizes visual impact and supports a cohesive streetscape.
In terms of footprint and form, the building will occupy the northern portion of the block, with internalized parking and active
ground-floor uses that contribute to the pedestrian environment. The overall scale is compatible with the area’s evolving
urban context and aligns with the City’s goals for higher-density, transit-oriented development.
4. Timing of the Development: The project will proceed to planning immediately upon approval of the requested Zoning
Map Amendment.
5. Impact to Existing land uses and Occupants: At a prominent corner of the block is a vacant commercial building, most
recently a Pizza Hut that was damaged by a transient-set fire. The subject property also features a mix of older, non-
historical structures: a single-family home, a duplex, and a four-plex. These existing uses represent a fragmented and
underutilized condition that does not align with the area’s evolving urban character or its potential for transit-oriented,
mixed-use redevelopment.
The buildings on-site are not historically significant, and offer limited contribution to the surrounding urban fabric
or pedestrian experience. The vacancy and visible decline of the site diminish the vitality of the neighborhood, which is
predominantly recently zoned MU-5 and currently experiencing significant reinvestment and redevelopment activity.
Rents received on said properties do not support renovation of said buildings.
The requested zone change would result in a financially viable project to redevelop all of the parcels, which will facilitate a
cohesive, higher-density redevelopment that supports Salt Lake City’s vision for Transit Station Areas. The proposed
mixed-use project will introduce active commercial uses, live/work spaces, and new housing options that enhance
walkability, support transit ridership, and contribute to the long-term vibrancy and resilience of the neighborhood.

RECORD OF SURVEY FOR THE PARCELS IN QUESTION.
Purpose for the Amendment
The purpose of this requested zoning map amendment is to establish a consistent zoning designation across the block,
which is currently 94% zoned MU-5. This change will enhance fire and emergency access and support higher-density
development of family-friendly housing on the northern portion of the properties owned by Hardage Hospitality.
Specifically, this request seeks to rezone the following parcels: 16-05-303-015, 16-05-303-016 & 16-05-303-017.
From RMF-35 (Residential Multi-Family, 35 units/acre) to MU-5 (Mixed Use, 5 stories).

Community Benefit
The development at 800 East Properties provides substantial community benefits as required by Section 21A.50.050.C,
delivering housing that aligns with community needs and commercial space for local businesses that would not otherwise
be provided without the zoning amendment.
Section 21A.50.050.C.1.a - Housing Aligned with Community Needs
Providing housing that aligns with the current or 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.
Dramatic Increase in Housing Supply
The proposal transforms underutilized residential structures and vacant commercial space into 109 residential units - a
significant increase from the existing 4-5 dwelling units currently on site. This represents over a 2,000% increase in
housing density, directly addressing Salt Lake City's documented housing shortage.
Family-Sized Housing Mix Addressing Community Needs
The project's unit distribution specifically addresses the "size in terms of number of bedrooms" criterion identified in
Section 21A.50.050.C.1.a:
• Studios (22 units, 20%): 445-536 SF - Entry-level housing for young professionals and students
• Junior One-Bedrooms (17 units, 16%): 630-651 SF - Transitional housing for couples and small households
• One-Bedrooms (44 units, 40%): 704-726 SF - Core market housing for diverse household types
• Two-Bedrooms (22 units, 20%): 951-1,114 SF - Family housing accommodating children and home offices
• Three-Bedrooms (3 units, 3%): 1,384 SF - True family-sized units retaining families in the urban core
• Four-Bedrooms (1 unit, 1%): 1,678 SF - True family-sized unit retaining families in the urban core
This diverse mix directly responds to Salt Lake City's General Plan goals for housing diversity and the documented need
for family-appropriate housing along transit corridors. The inclusion of larger 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom units (24% of total)
specifically addresses the shortage of family housing in urban mixed-use developments.
Alignment with General Plan Objectives
The housing mix supports Plan Salt Lake's objectives for:
Transit-Oriented Development: 109 units directly on the 400 South/800 East corridor
Housing Diversity: Units ranging from 445 SF to 1,384 SF serve multiple income levels and family types
Urban Density: Efficient use of existing infrastructure while maintaining neighborhood character

Community Benefit
Section 21A.50.050.C.1.b - Commercial Space for Local Businesses, Providing commercial space
for local businesses or charitable organizations.
Community-Serving Commercial Programming
The project provides 2,590 SF of active commercial space specifically designed to support local businesses
and address documented community needs:
Public Gymnasium (1,978 SF)
• Addresses overcrowding at existing area fitness facilities
• Serves both residents and the broader community
• Creates employment for fitness professionals and support staff
• Provides accessible health infrastructure along the transit corridor
Local Business Commercial Space (612 SF)
• Dog Wash Station: Serves pet owners in the dense residential corridor who currently lack convenient pet care
facilities
• TRAX Bike Storage & Repair: Supports cyclists using public transit, encouraging multimodal transportation
• Flexible space designed to accommodate other neighborhood-serving businesses
Local Business Benefits
These commercial uses specifically benefit local entrepreneurs by:
• Providing turn-key facilities for service businesses addressing unmet community needs
• Creating visible, accessible storefronts with extensive glazing and sidewalk orientation
• Offering affordable commercial space in a prime transit-accessible location
• Supporting business sustainability through built-in customer base (109 residential units) and transit accessibility

Section 21A.50.050.C.2.h - General Plan Policy Support
The proposed community benefits align with multiple General Plan policies:
• Grow Plan: Increasing density along transit corridors
• Live Plan: Providing diverse housing options for different life stages
• Connect Plan: Supporting multimodal transportation through bike facilities
• Play Plan: Enhancing community health through fitness facilities
Conclusion
The 800E Properties development provides exceptional community benefits under Section 21A.50.050.C that would
not be possible without the zoning amendment. The project transforms underutilized property into 110 units of diverse,
family-appropriate housing while creating commercial space specifically designed to support local businesses and
address documented community needs. These benefits - a 2,000%+ increase in housing supply with family-sized
units and community-serving commercial space - clearly justify the requested zoning amendment and provide lasting
value to the 400 South transit corridor neighborhood.

Compliance with Section 21A.59.030
A. Consistency with MU-5 Zone, Urban Design Element, and Master Plans
The MU-5 (Mixed Use District 5) zone is intended to promote higher-density, mixed-use, transit-oriented development. This project advances those goals by:
• Delivering 109 residential units in a mix of studios, junior one-bedrooms, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, three-
bedrooms, and four-bedrooms (Pages 16-18).
• Incorporating active, publicly accessible ground floor uses, including a gym (1,978 sf), commercial space (612 sf)
clubhouse, leasing office, and lobby (Page 16).
• Locating all parking within the builing (Page 15 -16), eliminating surface parking and reinforcing the pedestrian realm.
• Supporting master plan and Urban Design Element goals for the 400 South/Transit Corridor by enhancing
walkability, providing higher-intensity housing near transit, and activating the street frontage with retail-like functions.
B. Orientation to Sidewalk
• Primary Entrances: The lobby, lease spaces, and gym entries face 400 South and 800 East, directly addressing the
sidewalk (Page 16).
• Building Siting: The building maintains a 10’ setback, reinforcing the urban street wall (Page 7).
• Parking: All parking is internalized and screened. Garage access is limited to driveways on secondary frontages,
minimizing pedestrian conflicts (Pages 15-16). The two access points is a 60 % reduction of driveways compared
to current state.
C. Active Ground Floor & Transparency
• Active Uses: The ground level includes a gym, and leasing functions, ensuring continuous activation along sidewalks
(Page 16).
• Transparency: Clear, non-reflective storefront glazing is used extensively along 400 South and 800 East (Pages 19-
22).
• Storefront Articulation: Sign bands, transom glazing, and articulated transitions reinterpret traditional storefront design.
• Outdoor Visual Connections: Amenity and landscaped open spaces at ground level provide direct visual connections
to the street (Pages 23-26).
D. Human-Scale Massing
• Contextual Scale: The 5 story structure (59’ max height) fits the anticipated scale of MU-5 and adjacent mixed-use
development.
• Modulation: Stepbacks, recesses, and alternating façade planes break down massing (Pages-19-22).
• Secondary Elements: Balconies, bays, horizontal courses, and window reveals enhance articulation.
• Window Rhythm: Fenestration establishes a solid-to-void ratio that reflects desired urban patterns (Pages-19-22).

1441 UTE BOULEVARD, SUITE 100, PARK CITY, UT 84098 | 435.649.0092 | ELLIOTTWORKGROUP.COM
800 E Properties
E. Large Building Masses (>200’)
• Vertical Breaks: Façade modulation occurs through inset balconies and material shifts (Pages-19-22).
• Material Changes: The exterior employs architectural metal, EIFS, brick veneer, and wood accents materials in a
manner to suggest different buildings if not in fact separate masses (Pages-19-22).
• Massing Changes: The east and west wings create differentiated volumes.
• Active Uses at Grade: More than 80% of ground floor frontage includes active, publicly accessible uses (Page 16).
• Stepbacks: Upper levels step back 10’ from the streetwall, creating a defined pedestrian-scaled base (Pages-19-22).
F. Privately-Owned Public Spaces
The project provides outdoor gathering spaces along 400 South and 800 East (Page 7), including:
• Seating areas for residents and visitors.
• Street trees and landscaping offering shade, visual interest and a softening of the hardscape.
• Public art opportunities integrated into plazas.
• Outdoor connection to amenity patios and community spaces.
G. Building Height & Human Scale
• Stepbacks: Stepbacks are used above the base to maintain human scale.
• Minimizing Impacts: Building modulation and orientation reduce shadow and wind impacts; taller portions are set back
from property edges.
• Roofline & Cornice: Rooflines are articulated with parapets, material changes, and mechanical screening (Pages-19-
22)
• Roof Deck: A roof amenity deck provides outdoor living space and supports sustainability (Page 14).
H. Parking & Circulation
• All parking is internal and screened from pedestrian view(Pages 15-16).
• Driveway entries are minimized to protect sidewalks.
• Direct pedestrian connections link entries to sidewalks and transit stops (Page 7).
I. Screening of Service Areas
Trash, recycling, transformers and mechanical rooms are located within the building and accessed via service drives (Z-
006). All equipment is screened with materials consistent with the façade (Pages-19-22).

1441 UTE BOULEVARD, SUITE 100, PARK CITY, UT 84098 | 435.649.0092 | ELLIOTTWORKGROUP.COM
800 E Properties
J. Signage
• Signage zones will be integrated into storefront bands (Page 19).
• Blade signage opportunities are provided at primary corners.
• Signage locations are coordinated with lighting and landscaping.
K. Lighting
• Pedestrian-scale lighting will be installed per the Salt Lake City Lighting Master Plan.
• Building and plaza lighting is designed for comfort, safety, and dark sky compliance.
• Accent lighting highlights building entries and key design features.
L. Streetscape Improvements
Street Trees: New trees will be planted along both 400 South and 800 East at approx. 30’ intervals, per city forestry
guidelines (Page 7).
Hardscape:
• Durable, ADA-accessible materials differentiate public vs. private spaces.
• High-SRI paving minimizes heat island effects.
• Landscape-integrated seating supports universal accessibility.
Conclusion
The Viv – MU-5 has been designed to fully comply with the intent and requirements of Salt Lake City Code §21A.59.050. The
project delivers a transit-oriented, pedestrian-scaled, mixed-use development that strengthens the urban edge of 400 South
and 800 East, enhances public realm conditions, and provides high-quality housing supported by active ground floor uses.

Existing Conditions
The existing residential structures on the site are aged, substandard, not historically significant, and are not up to current
building codes. Their replacement with new, code-compliant housing will improve living conditions and contribute to a healthier
and safer neighborhood.
The corner parcel currently contains a vacant commercial space, most recently a Pizza Hut. There is also a vacant lot between
this corner lot and the three lots for which rezoning has been requested.
Redevelopment will eliminate these eyesores, replacing them with an attractive, well-maintained building that enhances
the character and visual appeal of the block.

Project Description
The Building
The proposed building is a five-story, mixed-use residential building designed to reinforce the 400 South/800 East transit
corridor with an active ground floor and urban residential density above. The project introduces 110 residential units, a
structured parking facility, and active community-serving spaces along the sidewalk, meeting the intent of the MU-5 district.
Building Length Exception
The proposed structure exceeds the 200-foot maximum contiguous building length standard in §21A.59.050(E). To mitigate
bulk and support a pedestrian-friendly scale, the design incorporates:
• Vertical and horizontal modulation including stepbacks, recessed balconies, and breaks in the façade plane (see
Z-009).
• Distinct material shifts (brick veneer, EIFS, architectural metal, wood accents) that visually separate masses.
• Strong ground floor activation with gym, leasing, and community amenities occupying more than 80% of the 400
South and 800 East frontages (see Z-006).
• Stepbacks above the second story (minimum 10’) that create a defined pedestrian-scaled base and reduce
shadow/wind impacts (see Z-020).
These strategies ensure the building reads as a series of smaller volumes rather than a single elongated block, meeting the
intent of the code while allowing an exception for additional building length.
Construction Type
• Below Grade: Reinforced concrete structured parking.
• First Level / Podium: Reinforced concrete structure housing active ground floor uses and structured parking.
• Upper Levels (2–5): Anticipated wood frame construction over the podium; a steel frame alternative may be
considered for efficiency and durability.
Unit Count & Mix
The project provides a balanced residential mix sized to attract diverse households:
Unit Type Count % Of Total Range (SF)
Studios 22 20% 445 - 536 sf
Junior One-Bedroom 17 16% 630 - 651 sf

Parking & Bicycle Facilities
• Vehicle Parking: 89 structured stalls (internal and screened from the street) (Z-005, Z-006).
• Bicycle Parking: 34 indoor bike spaces provided at ground level, near building entries, to encourage multimodal use.
• Parking ratios comply with MU-5 standards and prioritize transit-oriented development.
Exterior Materials
The building is designed with a durable and varied material palette that breaks down the massing and enhances
architectural quality (Z-011–Z-014, Z-018–Z-019):
• Brick Veneer: Interstate Brick Thin Brick Veneer, Platinum 60% Matte / 40% Ruff Mix – grounding the base and
emphasizing permanence. (or equal approved)
• Metal Panels: PAC-CLAD Burnished Slate (Alternating Box Rib 2 & 4), PAC-CLAD Bone White flush panels, and
PAC-CLAD Onyx composite panels — accentuating upper levels and balconies. (or equal approved)
• EIFS: Medium warm gray with reveals and bone white accents, adding variation and texture.
• Wood Accents: ChamClad Sunbleached Oak shadowline panel and brushed silver panels used at balconies and
inset details, introducing warmth and residential character. (or equal approved)
• Glazing: Clear anodized aluminum storefront and silver vinyl windows, with black powder-coated railings at balconies.
This material strategy emphasizes a base–middle–top composition:
• A concrete and brick base that grounds the structure.
• A varied middle zone articulated with balconies, window bays, and material shifts.
• A lightened upper portion with stepbacks and accent cladding, visually reducing the overall mass.
Summary
The proposed building is a concrete podium, wood/steel frame mixed-use building with 110 units, 89 parking stalls, 34
bicycle spaces, and a carefully curated material palette. While the building length exceeds 200 feet, the proposal meets the
intent of the ordinance through modulation, stepbacks, material diversity, and strong ground-level activation, ensuring a
pedestrian-scaled, context-sensitive, and transit-supportive development.

Purpose for the Amendment
The primary purpose of this zoning amendment is to facilitate significant housing production in direct response to Salt
Lake City's acute housing crisis. As outlined in Housing SLC, the city must entitle 10,000 new housing units between
2023-2027 to address both projected population growth and existing housing deficits. This project transforms 7 existing
substandard units into 109 modern, code-compliant residential units—representing a 15-fold increase in housing
capacity on underutilized urban land.
This requests a zoning map amendment for parcels 16-05-303-015, 16-05-303-016, and 16-05-303-017 from RMF-35
(Residential Multi-Family, 35' Maximum Height) to MU-5 (Mixed Use, 5 stories). This amendment will enable the
redevelopment of underutilized properties containing deteriorated residential structures and a vacant, fire-damaged
commercial building into a vibrant mixed-use development that directly advances Salt Lake City's housing and
economic development objectives.

Justification for the Amendment
1. Alignment with City Planning Objectives
Housing SLC Implementation: In June of 2023, the Salt Lake City Council voted to adopt Housing SLC, a five-year
plan that is to “serve as a guiding document for the City over the next five years, providing a framework for action across
City Departments and Divisions” (Housing SLC, page 58). Goal 1 of this plan is to entitle 10,000 new housing units
between 2023 and 2027. The population of Salt Lake City is projected to increase by 6,000 during the five-year period of
the Plan, which will require an additional 3,000 new housing units on top of the existing deficit (Housing SLC, page 9).
The problem is that there is very limited buildable land on which these additional units can be placed within the City.
Many parts of the city are unable to be developed due to the presence of wetlands and foothills. Areas in proximity to
the Salt Lake City International Airport cannot be built on due to Federal Aviation Administration regulations. Most of the
developable land has already been built on. We are out of land to continue growing outward. The solution is greater
density - providing more housing on the existing developable land.
New developments in Salt Lake City are required to select at least five Moderate Income Housing Plan (MIHP) strategies
that will be incorporated into the project. Projects must utilize at least six strategies in order to be eligible for state
funding. Four of the strategies have to do with rezoning or amending regulations in order to allow for higher density and
more multifamily residential dwellings (Strategies A, F, G, and W; Housing SLC, pages 28-29).
The Housing SLC plan states that “The crisis we are currently facing has been decades in the making and extends
beyond the municipal boundaries of the city, reaching across the county, the state, and the nation. It will take
collaboration across governmental, non-profit, community, and private partners to work through this housing crisis.”
That includes us. That includes you. The proposed rezoning and subsequent project helps meet these City goals.
Currently, these lots host 7 units (4 one-bed, 1 two-bed, 1 three-bed, and 1 four-bed) while the proposed project would
host 109 units (22 studio, 61 one-bed, 22 two-bed, 3 three-bed, and 1 four-bed).
Mixed-Use Development Support: The project exemplifies the mixed-use, walkable development promoted
throughout Salt Lake City's planning documents, creating an integrated live-work-shop environment that reduces
transportation demand and supports local economic activity.

FIG. 3 - PORTION OF ZONING MAP, IMAGE COURTESY OF SLC
Justification for the Amendment
2. Zoning Consistency and Logical Planning: The block in question is already predominantly zoned TSA-
UN-T (~93%). Rezoning the remaining RMF-35 parcels to MU-5 will establish a consistent zoning pattern, reduce
regulatory complexity, and support coherent urban planning. The initial request was for TSA-UN-T; however, during
the application review, the zoning designation was changed to MU-5. The current request aligns with that
designation and seeks to formally rezone the parcels to MU-5.
3. Optimal Land Use and Site Conditions:
Underutilized Property Transformation: The current site contains deteriorated structures that cannot economically
be renovated to meet current building codes and livability standards. The existing 4-plex, duplex, and single-family home
are in poor condition, while the commercial space has been vacant and fire-damaged. Redevelopment represents the
highest and best use of this prime urban location.
Infrastructure Readiness: The development team is actively coordinating with Salt Lake City Public Utilities
Department and utility consultants to evaluate infrastructure capacity needed to support the proposed project. Ongoing
discussions indicate that the necessary systems can be planned to accommodate the development. In addition, a Traffic
Impact Study has been prepared and is currently under review. Preliminary coordination with UDOT suggests that
transportation impacts can be addressed, particularly given the site’s strong transit access and walkability.

4. Enhanced Public Safety and Emergency Access
Fire Department Coordination: The project design has been developed in consultation with Salt Lake City Fire
Department to ensure optimal emergency access. Current site constraints, including narrow streets and overhead
power lines, limit emergency vehicle access under existing zoning. The MU-5 development enables unified site
planning that significantly improves fire and emergency access compared to the fragmented current configuration.
Modern Safety Standards: New construction will meet all current building and fire safety codes, replacing aged
structures with modern safety systems and accessibility features.

FIG. 6 - RENDERING OF PROPOSED BUILDING
Justification for the Amendment
Due to physical site constraints, aerial fire access from 800 East is not feasible. The road width, which cannot be
increased, and presence of high voltage power lines prevent compliance with Salt Lake City Fire Department standards
for aerial operations. Per Salt Lake City Code, the Fire Department requires a minimum of 25% of the building perimeter
to be aerial apparatus accessible in order to ensure life safety and fire protection. Given the limitations along 800 East,
the only viable way to meet this requirement is to provide aerial access along Linden Avenue and 400 South, which offer
sufficient clearance, appropriate setbacks, and operational space for fire equipment. The requested zone change to
MU-5 supports this layout by enabling a development form that can meet fire access requirements while also
contributing to the city’s goals for higher-density, transit-oriented design.
5. Economic and Community Development
Substantial Private Investment: The project represents significant private investment in neighborhood
infrastructure and housing stock, generating construction employment and ongoing economic activity.
Local Business Support: The 3,460 square feet of commercial space will accommodate multiple local businesses,
professional services, and potentially charitable organizations, creating local employment and serving daily needs of
residents and the surrounding community.
Community-Endorsed Development: Local community area representatives have provided positive feedback on
the project's approach to addressing vacant properties and increasing family housing options.
6. Family Housing Production
Critical Family Unit Shortage: The project increases family-sized units (2-4 bedrooms) from 3 existing to 26
proposed— an eight-fold increase that directly addresses the shortage of family housing in Salt Lake City's urban core.
The unit mix specifically responds to diverse household needs identified in the General Plan:
• 22 studio units for workforce housing • 61 one-bedroom units for diverse household types
• 22 two-bedroom units for small families • 3 three-bedroom units for larger families
• 1 four-bedroom unit for larger families

7. Environmental and Transportation Benefits
Urban Infill Development: The project represents responsible urban infill that maximizes existing infrastructure rather
than encouraging sprawling greenfield development.
Reduced Transportation Demand: The combination of transit access, high walkability, and integrated commercial
space minimizes vehicle trips per unit, supporting the city's sustainability and transportation efficiency goals.

8. Compatibility with Surrounding Neighborhood Character
Because the adjacent properties to the South and West are already zoned MU-5, the proposed amendment will not
introduce incompatible land uses or disrupt the existing development pattern. Instead, it will promote continuity in
building scale, architectural design, and streetscape character, thereby enhancing neighborhood cohesion. To ensure a
sensitive and gradual transition from the MU-5 zone to the adjacent RMF-35 zone north of Linden Avenue, the
proposed development will comply with the angular plane requirements outlined in Salt Lake City Code Section
21A.37.050. Specifically, a 45-degree angular plane measured from the shared property lines provides a clear
framework for scaling down from higher-density, high-rise forms to lower-scale residential development. This design
approach mitigates potential impacts on neighboring properties and supports a compatible urban form that respects
the established residential context.

Justification for the Amendment
9. Solar Shading Study:
The comprehensive solar shading study demonstrates that the proposed 4-story mixed-use building at 370 S 800 E
will not create adverse solar access impacts on neighboring properties. Key findings include:
Contained Shadow Patterns: Shadows fall predominantly within the development site boundaries and on public
street areas, Seasonal Stability: Both equinox and winter solstice conditions show consistent pattern of contained
shadow impact, Time-of-Day Analysis: Morning and afternoon peak periods demonstrate minimal extension of
shadows onto neighboring private properties.
Responsible Building Design: Appropriate Scale: 4-story height balances density objectives with neighborhood
compatibility, Strategic Orientation: Building placement and design minimize shadow extension during critical daylight
hours, Transition Elements: Angular plane compliance and height stepping provide appropriate transitions to adjacent
properties.
Regulatory and Community Compatibility: Standards Compliance: Project meets all MU-5 zoning requirements
for height, setbacks, and building relationships. Urban Context: Shadow patterns appropriate for established urban
mixed-use area with existing infrastructure and development. Net Community Benefit: Minimal shadow impact is
significantly outweighed by housing production, commercial activation, and neighborhood improvement benefits.
The solar study confirms that this well-designed mixed-use development will integrate successfully into the
neighborhood fabric while preserving appropriate solar access for surrounding properties. The building's scale,
orientation, and positioning demonstrate careful consideration of neighboring properties' solar access needs while
achieving important community housing and economic development objectives.

Future Development
1. Proposed Use of the Property: Upon approval of the requested General Plan Amendment, the affected property is
intended for development as a four-story structure designed and constructed in accordance with MU-5 zoning
requirements. The development will feature active ground-floor uses, including commercial space, live/work units, and
amenity and support spaces to engage the streetscape and contribute to a vibrant pedestrian environment.
Parking will be incorporated internally within the structure to minimize its visual impact and support transit-oriented goals.
Residential units will occupy floors one through four, providing a mix of housing types from studio to three bedroom units,
consistent with the City’s goals for increased density and walkability in transit station areas. (Refer to Floor Plans)
2. Proposed Density of the Property: The current zoning designation, RMF-35 (Residential Multi-Family), permits a
building height of up to 35 feet.
The proposed MU-5 (Mixed Use, 5 stories) zoning allows for increased residential density and a maximum building
height of up to 50 feet, subject to compliance with design and compatibility standards outlined in the Salt Lake City Code.
Approval of this zone change would allow for the addition of approximately 24 residential units (studios, 1bed, 2bed, 3bed
and 4bed) beyond what is currently permitted under RMF-35. This increase in density supports a more efficient use of
the land in a transit-adjacent location and enables the development of a four-story, mixed-use building.
The proposed density and height are compatible with the surrounding context and further the City’s goals for walkable,
transit-oriented, and higher-intensity urban neighborhoods.

3. Scale of the Development: The proposed development will consist of a five-story, mixed-use building that reflects the
scale and character encouraged in the MU-5 zoning district. The structure will reach a height of approximately 55 feet,
consistent with the maximum height allowed under the MU-5 zone and in keeping with surrounding buildings within
the block, the majority of which are already recently zoned MU-5.
Along Linden Avenue, the building will incorporate a 45-degree angular plane from the shared property lines, as required
by Salt Lake City Code Section 21A.37.050, to provide a visually appropriate step-down in height and massing. This
approach minimizes visual impact and supports a cohesive streetscape.
In terms of footprint and form, the building will occupy the northern portion of the block, with internalized parking and active
ground-floor uses that contribute to the pedestrian environment. The overall scale is compatible with the area’s evolving
urban context and aligns with the City’s goals for higher-density, transit-oriented development.
4. Timing of the Development: The project will proceed to planning immediately upon approval of the requested Zoning
Map Amendment.
5. Impact to Existing land uses and Occupants: At a prominent corner of the block is a vacant commercial building, most
recently a Pizza Hut that was damaged by a transient-set fire. The subject property also features a mix of older, non-
historical structures: a single-family home, a duplex, and a four-plex. These existing uses represent a fragmented and
underutilized condition that does not align with the area’s evolving urban character or its potential for transit-oriented,
mixed-use redevelopment.
The buildings on-site are not historically significant, and offer limited contribution to the surrounding urban fabric
or pedestrian experience. The vacancy and visible decline of the site diminish the vitality of the neighborhood, which is
predominantly zoned MU-5 and currently experiencing significant reinvestment and redevelopment activity. Rents
received on said properties do not support renovation of said buildings.
The requested zone change would result in a financially viable project to redevelop all of the parcels, which will facilitate a
cohesive, higher-density redevelopment that supports Salt Lake City’s vision for Transit Station Areas. The proposed
mixed-use project will introduce active commercial uses, live/work spaces, and new housing options that enhance
walkability, support transit ridership, and contribute to the long-term vibrancy and resilience of the neighborhood.

Community Benefit
The development at 800 East Properties provides substantial community benefits as required by Section 21A.50.050.C,
delivering housing that aligns with community needs and commercial space for local businesses that would not otherwise
be provided without the zoning amendment.
Section 21A.50.050.C.1.a - Housing Aligned with Community Needs
Providing housing that aligns with the current or 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.
Dramatic Increase in Housing Supply
The proposal transforms underutilized residential structures and vacant commercial space into 109 residential units - a
significant increase from the existing 4-5 dwelling units currently on site. This represents over a 2,000% increase in
housing density, directly addressing Salt Lake City's documented housing shortage.
Family-Sized Housing Mix Addressing Community Needs
The project's unit distribution specifically addresses the "size in terms of number of bedrooms" criterion identified in
Section 21A.50.050.C.1.a:
• Studios (22 units, 20%): 445-536 SF - Entry-level housing for young professionals and students
• Junior One-Bedrooms (17 units, 16%): 630-651 SF - Transitional housing for couples and small households
• One-Bedrooms (44 units, 40%): 704-726 SF - Core market housing for diverse household types
• Two-Bedrooms (22 units, 20%): 951-1,114 SF - Family housing accommodating children and home offices
• Three-Bedrooms (3 units, 3%): 1,384 SF - True family-sized units retaining families in the urban core
• Four-Bedrooms (1 unit, 1%): 1,678 SF - True family-sized unit retaining families in the urban core
This diverse mix directly responds to Salt Lake City's General Plan goals for housing diversity and the documented need
for family-appropriate housing along transit corridors. The inclusion of larger 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom units (24% of total)
specifically addresses the shortage of family housing in urban mixed-use developments.
Alignment with General Plan Objectives
The housing mix supports Plan Salt Lake's objectives for:
Transit-Oriented Development: 109 units directly on the 400 South/800 East corridor
Housing Diversity: Units ranging from 445 SF to 1,384 SF serve multiple income levels and family types
Urban Density: Efficient use of existing infrastructure while maintaining neighborhood character

Community Benefit
Section 21A.50.050.C.1.b - Commercial Space for Local Businesses, Providing commercial space
for local businesses or charitable organizations.
Community-Serving Commercial Programming
The project provides 2,590 SF of active commercial space specifically designed to support local businesses
and address documented community needs:
Public Gymnasium (1,978 SF)
• Addresses overcrowding at existing area fitness facilities
• Serves both residents and the broader community
• Creates employment for fitness professionals and support staff
• Provides accessible health infrastructure along the transit corridor
Local Business Commercial Space (612 SF)
• Dog Wash Station: Serves pet owners in the dense residential corridor who currently lack convenient pet care
facilities
• TRAX Bike Storage & Repair: Supports cyclists using public transit, encouraging multimodal transportation
• Flexible space designed to accommodate other neighborhood-serving businesses
Local Business Benefits
These commercial uses specifically benefit local entrepreneurs by:
• Providing turn-key facilities for service businesses addressing unmet community needs
• Creating visible, accessible storefronts with extensive glazing and sidewalk orientation
• Offering affordable commercial space in a prime transit-accessible location
• Supporting business sustainability through built-in customer base (109 residential units) and transit accessibility

Community Benefit
Section 21A.50.050.C.2.h - General Plan Policy Support
The proposed community benefits align with multiple General Plan policies:
• Grow Plan: Increasing density along transit corridors
• Live Plan: Providing diverse housing options for different life stages
• Connect Plan: Supporting multimodal transportation through bike facilities
• Play Plan: Enhancing community health through fitness facilities
Conclusion
The 800E Properties development provides exceptional community benefits under Section 21A.50.050.C that would
not be possible without the zoning amendment. The project transforms underutilized property into 110 units of diverse,
family-appropriate housing while creating commercial space specifically designed to support local businesses and
address documented community needs. These benefits - a 2,000%+ increase in housing supply with family-sized
units and community-serving commercial space - clearly justify the requested zoning amendment and provide lasting
value to the 400 South transit corridor neighborhood.

CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Austin Kimmel
DATE:April 14, 2026
RE: Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Library Annual Budget
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
$53,193,189. This is an
increase of nearly $10 million or 23.1% compared to the Library’s FY26 adopted budget. The increase is driven
primarily by a higher budgeted amount for required pass-through property taxes to other entities, an increased
Capital Projects budget, and cost-of-living wage increases following approval of the collective bargaining
agreement for Salt Lake City Public Library employees in February 2026.
Item Schedule:
Page | 2
Goal of the briefing: To review the Fiscal Year 2027 proposed Salt Lake City Public Library budget and
consider the Mayor’s recommendation to approve the Library Board’s proposed budget for consideration by
June 30, 2026.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1.Proposed Bond:
The Council may wish to ask the Library for an update on its proposed bond effort. This could
include the expected tax impact on residents, results from the ongoing community polling, and
the timeline for bringing a formal proposal to the Council before a vote to put a GO bond
measure on the November ballot.
The Council could also ask the Library to expand on how it plans to move forward if the bond
does not pass, since the FY27 budget includes funding for design and construction documents if
the bond is approved. The Council could add a funding contingency to these allocations so they
would be subject to bond approval.
2.Capital Projects: The Anderson-Foothill Branch continues to have foundation problems. The Council
could ask for an update on the building's condition and whether there is a risk that conditions could
worsen and require spending before a bond is approved. (See page 5, Additional & Background
Information below)
3.Collective Bargaining Agreement: The Council may wish to ask the Library for an update on how it
is handling ongoing personnel cost obligations of the CBA, particularly as it looks ahead to a potential
property tax increase in FY28, as the Library’s long-term financial plan.
4.Staffing: The proposed budget does not add any new positions. The Council could ask the Library to
explain how it has reclassified jobs to make sure there is enough coverage throughout the system
without lowering service quality.
5.Staff Innovation: The budget now includes a $400,000 line item for Staff Innovation, which was not
in the FY26 budget. The Council could ask how these funds are intended to be used and how the results
will be measured.
6.New Growth Revenue: The FY27 budget estimates total tax revenue of $42,634,618, including about
$639,000 in new growth. The City does not receive final new growth figures until June 8, so the Council
may wish to ask the Library what budget adjustments it would make if the estimated new growth
revenue is not realized.
LIBRARY BUDGET PRIORITIES
Library leadership outlined the following priorities for its Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget:
Competitive Staff Compensation: The Library has continued this priority from the FY26 budget to
ensure staff compensation remains fair and competitive. It aligns with the Library’s 2025 third-party
compensation study and the recent collective bargaining agreement with the Library Employees Union.
Prioritized Capital Projects: The proposed budget includes capital improvements across the Library
system and its nine locations. Priority projects include power and networking improvements at older
branches, lighting and landscaping improvements, and a site assessment at the Anderson-Foothill Branch.
This priority was also included in the FY26 budget and is informed by the Library’s Master Facilities Plan.
Programmatic Enhancement Investments: The proposed budget includes investments to extend the
Library’s programmatic offerings in child and youth literacy, technology literacy, workforce development,
Page | 3
civic engagement, and English language learning resources. This priority aligns with the Library’s
strategic plan.
REVENUES
Property taxes are the Library's primary source of revenue. The FY27 budget does not propose a tax rate
increase. In FY25, the Council approved a property tax rate increase for the Library, which is currently
0.000630. This rate represents 63% of the cap established by Utah State statute.
The estimated total tax revenue is $42,634,618, and the estimated new growth is $639,00. The budget and the
table below assume that property values stay the same as the prior year. The average annual impact on residents
is about $34.65 per $100,000 of residential property value. The Council may wish to ask the Library what the
budget plan would be if new growth revenue is not realized (see Policy Question #6 above).
Figure 1 - copied from page 8 of the FY27 Library Proposed Budget
The budget includes a required $5.5 million pass-through of property taxes to the Utah Inland Port Authority,
Convention Center Hotel, and the Community Reinvestment Agency. This is an increase of $1.4 million from
last fiscal year's budget and reflects anticipated growth in these areas. The higher allocation in the proposed
FY27 budget aims to more accurately reflect the actual amounts received for this pass-through.
The Library's Fund Balance is projected to end FY26 at $11,520,482. The Library has a minimum target of
keeping the balance at or above 16.67%, consistent with the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA)
recommendation and is approximately two months of operating expenses.
Other revenue sources:
Intergovernmental Revenues, $875,000 (decrease of $23,000 due to the likelihood of federal grant
funding received in prior years discontinuing)
Charges for Services Revenues, $181,000 (unchanged from FY26)
Charges for Lost/Damaged Items, $20,000 (unchanged from FY26)
Miscellaneous Revenues (interest earnings, rental revenue, etc.), $216,000 (unchanged from FY26)
Contributions & Transfers, $9,266,571 ($6,367,211 increase from FY26, due to a proposed transfer
of General Fund dollars to address deferred maintenance and other capital projects sooner than initially
anticipated to take advantage of current pricing)
GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES
A. Staffing & Compensation
The FY27 proposed personnel budget is $24,603,561, an increase of $1,342,474 (5.8%) from FY26.
Page | 4
Library personnel expenditures account for about 70% of the Library’s overall operating budget,
consistent with previous fiscal years. The FY27 budget proposes a 5.5% salary increase for all Library
staff, which includes a 3% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) and a 2.5% longevity adjustment.
The personnel increases are informed by a 2025 compensation study conducted by a third-party
consultant group and the outcome of the Library’s collective bargaining agreement reached with the
Library Employees Union earlier this year. For more information about the Library Employees
Unionization efforts, please refer to the ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND information section below.
No additional full-time equivalents (FTEs) are proposed for FY27. Some positions have been reclassified
to better align with needs, keeping the total number of FTEs at 249.675, the same as in FY25 and FY26.
A complete staffing profile, including reclassified positions, is on pages 6 and 7 of the Library’s FY27
Proposed Budget.
Like Salt Lake City departments, the City Library offers a high-deductible health plan with contributions
to each employee’s health savings account (HSA). Employees receive $1,000 for individual coverage and
$2,000 for employee plus dependent coverage. The proposed budget includes a 10% increase in
premiums.
B. Capital Projects & Debt Service
Capital improvements across the Library’s system are a main priority in the Library’s FY27 budget. The
Capital Projects Fund is proposed at $11,670,000, an increase of $2,048,928 (21.3%) from the
$9,621,072 FY26 budget.
A key factor in the increase is a higher transfer from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund to
cover costs for architectural design documents for Anderson-Foothill and Day-Riverside rebuilds or
renovations, associated with the Library’s proposed Bond (more information in the ADDITIONAL &
BACKGROUND INFORMATION section). The Library requested up to $2.5 million in congressional
project appropriations through U.S. Representative Celeste Maloy to help fund this project.
Procurement of design and construction documents will not proceed unless the bond is approved by the
Council and, if necessary, by voters in the November 2026 election.
The Library proposes transferring $990,000 (decrease of $2,000 from FY26) from its General Fund to
the Debt Service Fund to cover bond payments for the Glendale and Marmalade Branches. This amount
covers the annual debt payments for the Local Building Authority lease revenue bonds for both
branches.
Other capital projects include:
Sunlight mitigation, exterior glazing, replacement of relief and exhaust fans, fire suppression
and HVAC system maintenance, and events equipment at the Main Library
Flooring, ADA-accessible doors, roof drains and stucco replacement at the Chapman Branch
Replacement of the patio deck flooring and door hardware at the Marmalade Branch
Replace brickwork and electrical paneling at the Sweet Branch
Furniture replacement across the Library system
Technology replacement across the Library system
C. Other Changes by Expense Category
Materials & Supplies: $ 1,185,021 (1% increase from FY26)
Buildings, Grounds & Equipment: $2,477,458 (14.1% increase from FY26 to address
increased utility costs and equipment and furniture maintenance needs)
Services: $2,546,199 (22% increase from FY26, largely to update the Library’s Integrated
Library System, or ILS)
Page | 5
Collections & Other Capital Outlays: $ 3,130,000 (6.8% increase from FY26)
Transfers, Grants & Donations: $ 18,213,250 (an increase of about $7.5 million from FY26,
mainly consisting of the $11,670,000 million transfer to Capital Projects as detailed above,
along with a budgeted $5.5 million for property tax pass-through to other entities)
Other Charges: $1,037,700 (11% increase from FY26, related to the implementation of the
Library’s strategic plan in this category)
ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
A. Library Employee Unionization Effort
In February 2026, the City Council approved a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the Salt
Lake City Public Library and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees
(AFSCME) Local #1004, representing eligible Library employees. Some provisions of the agreement
became effective upon execution, while many of the compensation provisions go into effect July 1, 2026.
The agreement runs through June 30, 2029.
The CBA between the Salt Lake City Library and AFSCME Local #1004 established the formal
framework for labor relations and detailed wage schedules, dispute resolution, employee benefits like
insurance and leave accrual, union membership eligibility, and other provisions.
At the time of Council consideration, the Library confirmed that the CBA provisions, including wage
increases and other benefits, could be implemented without a property tax increase, as reflected in its
proposed FY27 budget.
B. Proposed Bond
The Library is developing a proposal for either a Local Building Authority (LBA) bond or a General
Obligation bond to be issued by Salt Lake City, leveraging the City’s strong bond rating. The bond would
be informed by the Library’s 2021 master facilities plan and is expected to fund three main capital
projects: rebuilding or renovating the Anderson-Foothill and Day-Riverside branches, and constructing
a new full-size branch in the Ballpark neighborhood.
According to the Library, the anticipated bond total for an LBA bond is expected to be around $40
million, supplemented by a $5 million fundraising campaign through the Library Foundation. A GO
bond is expected to have a larger scope and higher total.
The Library argues that delaying these projects risks higher long-term costs to taxpayers and that
addressing them sooner with a bond is more fiscally prudent. The Library is currently in its Community
Engagement & Concept Design phase. The tax impact for voters has not yet been finalized, but
according to Library staff, is anticipated to be similar to the Library’s previous property tax increase in
Fy25.
If the Council votes to place a GO Bond measure on the ballot late summer 2026, voters would decide on
the matter at the November 2026 election.
C. Library Taxing Status Update
In June 2025, Salt Lake County and the Utah State Tax Commission combined the Salt Lake City Public
Library's tax status with Salt Lake City, citing an ambiguous state law provision. The Library had
historically been categorized as a separate taxing entity from Salt Lake City until this decision. The
reclassification has affected the timing of the Library's revenue, as tax proceeds now flow through the
City before reaching the Library. However, the Library reports a strong working relationship with the
City’s Finance Department as the two entities navigate this decision, and the Library does not anticipate
near-term issues.
Page | 6
During the 2026 Utah General Legislative Session, HB565 was passed directing the County to list the
Library’s tax portion as a separate line item on property tax notices. While the legislation does not fully
resolve the tax status issue, it provides transparency for taxpayers to understand where their property
taxes go.

3 Salt Lake City Public Library Proposed Budget, Fiscal Year 2027
A Letter from the CEO
February 2026
Mayor Mendenhall, City Council Members, and Residents of Salt Lake City,
I present to you this proposed budget for the Salt Lake City Public Library for fiscal year 2027, recognizing the great
resource that our public library system is toward the flourishing of our city and its residents.
As you know, the City Library is one of the most trusted institutions in our city today. We take that position seriously,
recognizing that it is trust that serves as the connective glue that knits our richly diverse neighborhoods and communities
together. As we launch the next chapter of this 128-year-old institution with our newly adopted strategic plan, this budget
recognizes our responsibility to maintain that historic trust while also preparing us to respond effectively to the newest
needs that the Library is positioned to address.
These responsible and responsive investments include:
• Competitive Staff Compensation – In alignment with the Library’s 2025 third-party compensation study, as well as
the outcome of its collective bargaining agreement reached with the Library Employees Union, this budget ensures
Library staff compensation is fair, competitive, and congruent with our high expectations – and appreciation – for
their consistent commitment and care.
• Prioritized Capital Projects – In alignment with the Library’s Master Facilities Plan, this budget includes expenditures
for capital improvements across the Library system’s nine locations. Priority projects include power and networking
improvements within older buildings, external lighting improvements, landscaping improvements, and a site
assessment at the Anderson-Foothill Branch, given the ongoing issues with the building’s foundation.
Additionally, this budget includes funding for design and construction documents for two high-priority capital
projects the Library has been planning for several years: rebuilding the Anderson-Foothill Branch and rebuilding and/
or significantly remodeling the Day-Riverside Branch. This initial investment allows the Library to take the necessary
early steps toward these projects and ensures we are responsibly advancing plans to meet the evolving needs of
these communities.
• Programmatic Enhancement Investments – In alignment with the Library’s newly adopted strategic plan, the FY 26-
27 budget includes deeper investments to extend our programmatic offerings in child and youth literacy, technology
literacy, workforce development, civic engagement, and English Language Learning resources.
As we look to the future, we envision a time when the City Library becomes an even richer and more valuable resource to
Salt Lake City residents, where all are welcome and invited to create, learn, and connect with one another.
In gratitude and service,
Noah Baskett
Chief Executive Officer &
Library Director

This chart reflects the estimated property tax amount for each $100,000 of residential property
value and each $1,000,000 of commercial property value. Tax Year 2026 amounts are based
on FY27 budgeted real and personal property tax revenue less estimated new growth and no
increase in 2026 property values.
Tax Revenues
The Library’s primary source of funding is
property taxes. Current Year Property Tax
revenue has been budgeted at the amount
generated by the 2025 certified tax rate plus
an estimated 2.0 percent for new growth,
approximately $639,000. The Library’s
current property tax rate is 0.000630, which
is 63.0 percent of the ceiling established by
the Utah State statute. If the proposed tax
rate increase is adopted, the 2026 estimated
tax rate would be 0.000630.
The Library is also required to budget for
property tax revenues collected by Salt Lake
County that are paid directly to other
government entities without coming directly
to the Library. An offsetting transfer from
the Library equal to this revenue is reflected
in the Transfers from the Library. The
amount of this transfer for FY27 is
estimated at $5,500,000.
General Fund Revenue

Intergovernmental Revenues
The FY27 budget for Intergovernmental Revenues is slightly

may be discontinued.
Charges for Services Revenues
Revenue from Charges for Services is anticipated to remain at levels
budgeted in FY26.
Charges for Lost/Damaged Items
Revenue from Charges for Lost/Damaged Items is anticipated to
remain at levels consistent with FY26.
Miscellaneous Revenues
Miscellaneous Revenue is budgeted to remain at levels consistent
with FY26.
Contributions & Transfers
The FY27 budget proposes using General Fund balance to address
deferred maintenance and other capital projects. Implementing
these projects sooner will allow the Library to take advantage of
current pricing. Transfers from the General Fund include $11,670,000
for capital projects and $990,000 to make payments on bonds for
the Marmalade and Glendale Branches.
Seen here, the Sweet Family gave a generous $25,000 gift to The Salt Lake City Library Foundation, in support of the Branch’s collections. Tony and his sister,
Virginia, made the gift in memory of their late brother, Jonathan, and in honor of their parents who are the Branch's namesake: Corinne and Jack Sweet.

The FY27 budget reflects a projected 10
percent increase in premiums. The Library
covers 100 percent of employee coverage
and 90 percent of employee plus dependent
premiums. The Library’s contributions to
health savings accounts are as follows:
$1,000 for single coverage and $2,000 for
employee plus dependent coverage.
For details on the Library’s staffing, refer to
the Staffing Profile on pages 6-7.
Personnel Overview
Personnel expenditures account for
approximately 70 percent of the Library’s
overall operating budget (General Fund less
Transfers to the Capital and Debt Service
Funds and Payments to Other Governments),
which is consistent with recent fiscal years.
The FY27 budget proposes a 5.5 percent
salary increase for all Library staff which
consists of a 3.0 percent cost of living
adjustment and a 2.5 percent longevity
adjustment.
The City Library will continue to offer a
high-deductible health plan and a contribution
to each employee’s health savings account.

interest earnings on the cash balance in the
fund, and the Capital Projects Fund. The
fund balance is a result of unspent money
accumulated from prior years.

WILL WALL -TO -WALL CITIES REDUCE THE
NEED FOR THE COUNTY?
Consolidation into cities reduces duplication
and allows counties to maximize efficiency
across jurisdictions.
Counties are political subdivisions of the state
per Utah Constitution Article XI, Section 1.
Counties deliver state-mandated services.
State law differentiates the roles of cities
and counties.
Cities handle municipal services—counties
focus on regional functions.
3
EXAMPLES OF SERVICES THE COUNTY PROVIDES
CRIMINAL JUSTICE / PUBLIC SAFETY
Jail and other criminal justice services, prosecution
and indigent defense.
ELECTIONS
Runs the general election by statute. Contracts
with municipalities for municipal elections.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT

restaurants and businesses, clean up homeless
camps and other unsafe environments.
AGING & ADULT SERVICES

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
Manages mental health/substance abuse services.
Partners with providers. Designated by the state to
be mental health & substance abuse authority.
CULTURE & THE ARTS
Administers grants and manages cultural facilities:
Abravanel Hall, Capitol Theater, Eccles Theater, etc.
CONVENTIONS & TOURISM
County -owned convention centers bring in out -of -state
conventions that generate sales tax.
REGIONAL PARKS & RECREATION
Maintains regional parks, trails, and open spaces. Operates
recreation centers and sports complexes.
LIBRARY SERVICES
Salt Lake County Library system serves most of the county,
with access to Salt Lake City and Murray libraries.
PROPERTY TAX ADMINISTRATION
Collects property tax for all entities, most of which are not
part of Salt Lake County, and distributes funds.
Multiple jails? Multiple health departments?
Multiple clerk’s offices?
Salt Lake County delivers regional services on a
scale best served by county government.
Duplicating these services would be expensive,
inefficient, and create confusion across city
boundaries.

WHAT ARE PASS THROUGH TAXES?
•Appear in the budget for transparency, but
don’t impact county operations.
•County is middleman. Receives funds and
forwards to other agencies.
•Not truly county funds.
•Examples: Cities, service providers, federal
or state grants, UTA.
•Council has NO DISCRETION over how
these funds are used.
•Source: Primarily property taxes,
sales tax, etc.
•Core government services—public
safety, elections, public heath, and
administration.
•Most flexible.
•Only fund the council has full
discretion.
GENERAL FUNDSPECIAL REVENUE
•Source: County controlled
funds from taxes or fees.
•Libraries, TRCC, Behavioral
Health, etc.
•HIGHLY RESTRICTED USE
•Council has some discretion
over use but can only fund
certain things within certain
funds.
ENTERPRISE FUNDS
•Source: Fees charged to users
through paid services—not
taxes.
•These funds operate like
businesses.
•Golf Courses, Landfill, Public
Works
•Council has limited
discretion over how this is
used.
PUBLIC SAFETY
WHAT IS THE COUNTY’S LARGEST
RESPONSIBILITY?
Public Safety accounts for the largest portion of the
budget. More than 74% of the county’s general
fund is allocated to public safety including law
enforcement, corrections, and prosecution.
Criminal Justice Breakdown 1/24/2025
HOW PROPERTY TAXES WORK IN UTAH
Purchasing Power Erosion Due to Inflation
State law limits property tax revenue
increases to only “new growth” (e.g., new
construction or additions).
Inflation in property values does not
increase revenue—rates are adjusted
downward to keep revenue flat.
Population growth increases demand for
county services.
This creates a budget gap, averaging
about 1% or $5M per year.
DECLINING TREND IN PROPERTY TAX RATES
'13 '14 '15 '16 '17 '18 '19 '20 '21 '22 '23 '24 '25 '26*
Excluding Bond Debt Service and Judgment Levies
Countywide and Assessing & Collecting
* Projected rate based on projected taxable value with new growth. Advertised rate for 2026 is .001519.
What portion of property taxes goes to the county?
When my property values go up, does my property tax automatically go up?
No - it does not. Utah’s system is designed so that rising property
values alone do not automatically raise your property tax bill. Each
year, the County Auditor calculates a certified tax rate for every
taxing entity (county, city, school district, etc.). That rate is adjusted
downward so the entity collects the same total revenue as the prior
year—plus new-growth revenue from new construction.
As part of its commitment to fiscal
responsibility, the Council has regular
stress testing in each agency to
identify financial needs and manage
spending.
HOW HAS THE COUNTY RESPONDED?
The Council has consistently exercised
fiscal discipline, cut spending while
preserving Salt Lake County’s top tier
AAA bond rating—the highest
available.
PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS
•Not a single new bed has been built since 2001, even as the
county’s population has grown by nearly 300,000 and is expected
to grow to 1.4 million by 2040.
•Approximately one-fifth of the jail’s beds are in Oxbow, a
failing facility that urgently needs to be replaced.
•At the same time, homelessness and mental illness have
increased, and our jail has become the state’s default mental
health provider.
•Over the past ten years, the average person booked into the jail
has been booked seven times prior, driving up costs while
leaving underlying needs unmet.
OVERVIEW
PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS
Although beds have
increased after opening
Oxbow’s third pod, the
jail continues to
operate at or near
capacity every day.
JAIL REMAINS AT CAPACITY
Reopening the third pod
at Oxbow added 184
individuals, placing
additional pressure on
aging infrastructure
and maintenance
systems.
Increased enforcement
due to SLC Public Safety
Plan has meant an
increase in bookings
and individuals with
multiple charges is
placing greater demands
on judicial processing.
PUBLIC SAFETY NEEDS
Rebuild capacity from Oxbow Jail (552 beds) at main facility
Add new beds to meet growth and safety demands
Expand mental health treatment from 88 → 160 beds
Create a stepdown unit (100 beds) for re-entry support
Look at a lower-security facility to save on costs to provide mental health,
substance use, job training and wraparound services for low-level
offenders in order to reduce recidivism.

TO:City Council Members
FROM:Allison Rowland, Senior Policy Analyst
DATE:April 14, 2026
RE: FUNDING ALLOCATIONS FOR FEDERAL HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT GRANTS AND CITY FUNDING OUR FUTURE HOUSING PROGRAMS
April 7 Briefing Summary
Responses from Housing Stability to Council Member Questions during the April 7 Work Session can be found
in Attachment C7.
In the April 7 Work Session, the Council discussed several potential funding shifts and seemed to have come to a
tentative agreement on several:
CBDG Public Services, #17 South Valley Services, Case Management. Shift recommended $60,000
funding to:
o #14 Wasatch Homeless Health Care, Inc. (DBA Fourth Street Clinic), Health and Housing
Transition Team ($10,000), and
o #33 Salt Lake American, Refugee Services for Survival $50,000.
This would leave #17 South Valley Services with $0 in this funding category.
Other potential shifts discussed, for which there did not appear to be consensus include:
CBDG Public Services, #16 THRIVE Center for Survivors of Torture, Integrated Services for Torture
Survivors. Shift recommended $50,000 funding to #27 Wasatch Community Gardens, leaving #16
THRIVE Center for Survivors of Torture, with $0.
ESG Part 1, #5 Ruff Haven, Street Outreach. Shift Ruff Haven application to Funding Our Future and
add $50,000 recommended from another application, to be decided.
FOF, #1 The INN Between, Medical Supportive Housing for the Homeless. Shift $50,000 to another
application, to be decided.
Other potential FOF shifts to or from the recommended amounts that were mentioned:
o #2 Utah Community Action.
o #5 Utah Community Action.
o #6 The Road Home.
o #7 The Road Home.
o #9 The Road Home.
Schedule:
o #12 South Valley Services.
o #18 Women of the World.
o #21 First Step House.
March 24 Briefing Summary
Responses from Housing Stability to Council Member Questions during the March 24 Work Session, as well as
corrections to a few errors on the Funding Log, can be found in Attachment C5, below.
A new Housing Stability spreadsheet, which shows unspent funds from previous years, can be found in
Attachment C6, below. Note that these unspent allocations are included in the Reallocated Funding line of
each of the HUD programs. For Funding Our Future, unspent allocations are returned to the City’s general fund
balance.
Policy Question: Would the Council like to discuss the potential advantages and
disadvantages of redirecting unspent Funding Our Future allocations for redistribution
in the next year’s cycle?
_______________________
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
Each year the Council is responsible for allocating millions of dollars in grants from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) among local organizations that serve Salt Lake City residents. The
organizations are primarily non-profits that specialize in providing services to the most economically vulnerable
City residents. For Fiscal Year 2026-27 (FY27), just over $8.9 million dollars is expected to flow from four main
HUD programs—Community Development Block Grants (CDBG); Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG); the
HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME); and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
(HOPWA)—through the Division of Housing Stability to community service providers selected by the Council.
In addition, beginning this year, the City’s annual Funding Our Future (FOF) housing program will also form
part of this annual allocation process. As part of the FY2025-26 budget, the Council approved nearly $2.4
million in FOF housing funding, which will be available to local non-profit service providers for housing
activities. During the budget process, the Council opted to provide the bulk of these housing funds for Tenant-
based Housing Assistance as well as Equity and Homeownership Assistance. Details on the proposed funding
that make up the totals listed below can be found in Attachment C1.

Goal of the briefing: Discuss the Council’s federal and local housing funding priorities, ask questions about
applications, and ultimately, award funding to eligible programs and projects.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. Does the Council have any questions about the funding recommendations from the Advisory Board and the
Mayor?
As a reminder,
some categories have percentage caps on the total amount awarded, so additional funds cannot be shifted
to them. Instead, funds can only be shifted among uses within that category (Public Services and
Administrative categories).
ADDITIONAL & BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Funding Recommendation Process. The Council bases its selection of final HUD and FOF awards on
information from the Division of Housing Stability (which is part of CAN, the Department of Communities and
Neighborhoods), combined with the reviews and recommendations of the Community Development and Capital
Improvement Program (CDCIP) resident advisory board, and the Mayor. These recommendations are presented
in Attachment C1. An additional source of information is the public hearing held during a Formal Meeting early
in the deliberation process.
Recommendations for the Council. In preparation for the Council’s decisions on award
amounts to specific organizations, each application receives a score and a funding
recommendation from the CDCIP Advisory Board. These scores and recommendations are
provided to the Mayor, who adds funding recommendations of her own. Attachment C2 shows
each FY27 application ranked by score within each program category. These scores are
calculated by combining the advisory board’s raw score with City staff’s administrative and risk
assessment scores.
Competitive Process. Typically, the combined amount of total funding requested by
applicants significantly exceeds available funds. For FY27, requests total 154% of available
funding with $12.3 million requested, and an estimated $8.9 million available (see table below).
These funding amounts combine entitlement (new) funding, recaptured funds, and anticipated
program income. HUD has not yet confirmed the City’s final award amounts, so at this stage the
City works with estimates of available funding that are based on the previous year’s amounts.

3.Minimum Funding Threshold. The minimum funding threshold for HUD Grant applicants
is $50,000 annually, in conformance with best practices. This floor was changed for FY26 for
the new five-year Consolidated Plan and future Annual Action Plans.
Overview of FY27 Funding Recommendations.
1.Mayoral versus Board Recommendations. As in most other years, the Advisory Board and the
Mayor agree on the great majority of their recommendations for FY27. The only difference between
them is for the two items listed below. See Attachment C2 for the FY 2026-27 Recommendations by
score.
CDBG #14 and #20. The Board recommends fully funding the $207,412 requested for
CDBG #14 Wasatch Homeless Health Care, Inc. (DBA Fourth Street Clinic), while the
Mayor recommends using $50,000 of that amount for CDBG #20 Fit to Recover.
2.Disqualified Applications. No applications were determined to be ineligible this year.
3.Returning Project Applications Not Recommended for FY27 Funding. There are five
returning applications that received grant awards last year but did not receive a funding
recommendation this year.
CDBG#22. International Rescue Committee, ESL & Financial Readiness. Requested
$60,000.
CDBG#27. Wasatch Community Gardens, Green Team Job Training. Requested $50,000.
ESG#10. The Road Home, Rapid Re-housing. Requested $100,000
FOF#3. SL Neighborhood Housing, Down Payment Assistance. Requested $262,500.
FOF#21. First Step House, Housing Case Management. Requested $679,513.
FOF#22. The Road Home, Landlord Assurance. Requested $185,246.
4.New Applications. This year there are ten funding applications which are recommended
which did not request funding from the same category last year. Note that some of these
applications are for new programs that would be offered by returning organizations.
CDBG#17. South Valley Services, Case Management. Recommended for $60,000.
CDBG#18. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah, Site-based Mentoring. Recommended for
$50,000.
ESG#8. YWCA of Utah, Housing Stability Through Survivor-Centered Case Management.
Recommended for $60,000.
HOME#4. Community Development Corporation of Utah, Emeril Avenue Apartments.
Recommended for $200,000.
HOME#5. Community Development Corporation of Utah, Community Development Land
Trust. Recommended for $400,000.
HOPWA#2. Housing Connect, Housing Assistance. Recommended for $737,508.
HOPWA#3. Utah Community Action, FY26 SLC HOPWA. Recommended for $205,363.
FOF#11. Family Support Center, Transitional Housing, Child & Family Support at LifeStart
Village. Recommended for $76,200. (Recommended for less than requested this year.)
FOF#13. Wasatch Community Gardens, Green Team Case Management. Recommended
for $52,600. (Recommended for less than requested this year.)
5.Projects Recommended for More Funding than was Requested. One application, for
Funding Our Future funds, received recommendations from both the Board and the Mayor for
more funding than they had requested. Housing Stability Division staff confirmed with the
organization that they can make use of the additional funding amount.
FOF#1. Community Development Corporation of Utah, Homebuyer Cohort and Matched
Savings. Requested $100,000; recommended for $150,000.
6.Organizations with Multiple Applications. Some organizations submit a single
application for a program for which they seek funding from multiple funding sources. Others
submit multiple applications for different programs which are narrowly tailored to each funding
source. Organizations with multiple applications are listed alphabetically in Attachment C3,
with total funding requested and the recommended award amounts.
Sources of Annual Funds. Grants offered through HUD provide substantial funding amounts to local
organizations that serve people with low- and moderate-income levels; people experiencing or on the verge of
homelessness; potential homeowners; and people with AIDS/HIV who qualify for affordable housing. Most of
the funds are “passed through” the City to specific recipients or programs, including several programs that are
administered by the City through an annual competitive grant process.
FOF Housing funds, which are allocated during the annual budget process, come from the City’s ½-cent local
sales tax increment. This source also provides some of the funding for Transit, Streets, Public Lands
Maintenance and Public Safety. Adding Funding Our Future dollars to the allocation process does increase the
City’s flexibility in responding to applications, since Federal guidelines do not apply to FOF dollars. Still, this
practice may increase challenges in the future if the City decides to divert FOF dollars to other uses (as allowed)
and organizations have come to rely on them.
For FY27, the Division of Housing Stability estimates that the total amount available in HUD funding for use in
housing and related activities is $8.9 million. These grants are considered “entitlement” funds—that is, Federal
money provided on a recurring basis, with amounts linked to formulas that consider population and other
demographic variables. In addition, the amount available to the City also varies each year because it draws not
only from annual funding, but also recaptured funds, and program income. The total estimate here is the sum of
the grants all three funding sources (see below).
1.New Funding (FY27 HUD Award). Because the precise amount of new grants is typically not
determined before the Council discussion and allocation process, the Division of Housing Stability
provides estimates based on awards from the previous funding year. The funding amounts are updated
by the Division once final notification is received from HUD, and these are adjusted for each grantee
based on contingencies approved by the Council as part of the allocation process (see below).
Approximately $5,333,355 in new funds is estimated to be available through the four HUD programs for
FY27.
Estimated FY27 HUD Awards (New Funding)
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)$3,250,831
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)$972,032
HOME Investment Partnership Program $817,318
Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG)$293,174
Total $5,333,355
2.Recaptured Funds. At the close of each HUD program year, once agreements expire or
projects are completed, funds available for “recapture” are identified. This occurs when, for
example, a project is completed under budget, contracts expire before funds are used, or a
project or program is somehow unsuccessful. The City can use these funds in the next round of
allocations, subject to federal requirements, eligibility criteria, and limitations of the original
federal funding source. They are not allowed to be used for City administration and planning
activities, or for CDBG Public Services programs. For FY27, recaptured funds total $1,848,933,
significantly more than the $772,000 recaptured in FY26. Details of specific programs, activities
and funding amounts can be found on page 5 of the transmittal.
Estimated FY27 Recaptured Funding Available
HOME Investment Partnership Program $925,595
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)$917,447
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)$0
Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG)$5,891
Total $1,848,933
In response to a staff question, Housing Stability explained the unusually high level of recaptured funds
for FY27 as follows:
“A major factor in the increase was the implementation of new federal regulations,
particularly the Build America, Buy America Act, which requires projects receiving
federal funding above certain thresholds to purchase American-made construction
materials. This requirement has increased some project costs.
As a result, several programs from the 2024–2025 program year, including ICAST
and Alliance House, later chose not to use their awarded funds.
We consistently encourage awardees to spend their funds fully and as quickly as
possible. To support this, we have begun working with a University of Utah
program to develop a comprehensive dataset of American manufacturers,
prioritizing those in Utah and the Mountain region. This resource will help
programs more easily identify compliant suppliers. Additionally, Housing Stability
intends to incorporate more detailed explanations of these new federal
requirements in our future grant application trainings, so that potential applicants
will be fully aware of the potential setbacks and costs associated with certain
projects.”
3.Program Income. Several income-generating programs are funded by CDBG and HOME,
including downpayment assistance, first-time homebuyer mortgages, and certain home
rehabilitation programs. The amount collected fluctuates from year to year. All program income
generated by HUD funding must be spent before any entitlement (annual) funds are drawn
down, so the City typically allocates anticipated program income at the same time as annual
entitlement funding. Contingencies are built in for differences between the estimates and actual
revenue, since the amount of program income allocated is based on estimates of revenue not yet
received.
For FY27, the estimated amount of Program Income available for allocation is $1,750,000. The Division
of Housing Stability attributes the 9% increase from FY26 primarily to loan repayments for over $9
million in HUD funding which was loaned to affordable housing developers in recent years, which is
now beginning to be repaid. For this reason, the increases in program income are likely to continue for
some years.
The Division also notes that, as was the case in FY26, “Due to changes at the federal level, evolving
program requirements, and increased administrative workload, we are requesting to utilize the full
20% [of program income] allowable for administration to ensure the City has sufficient resources to
manage these programs effectively.” Because administrative costs for Funding Our Future are budgeted
separately, as part of the annual City budget process, and include funding for one FTE position, FOF
funds are used only for client services and community funding, and not for administrative expenses.
Estimated FY27 Program Income Available
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)$950,000
HOME Investment Partnership Program $800,000
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA)$0
Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG)$0
Total $1,750,000
4.Funding Our Future (FOF) Housing Funds. The amount of FOF funding designated for
housing is set each year by the Council during the previous year’s budget discussions, so
estimates are not needed. As mentioned earlier, the FOF funds are the product of the City’s ½-
cent local sales tax increment which also includes funding for Transit, Streets, Public Lands
Maintenance and Public Safety. Additional FOF Housing funds are transferred to the
Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA) for their annual notice of funding availability, which
the Council reviews and approves in their capacity as CRA Board Members.
FY26 FOF Housing Funds Allocated
Equity and Homeownership Assistance $350,000
Tenant-based Housing Assistance $2,020,500
Total $2,370,500
Estimated FY27 Funding by Program Category and Source. The City allocates all available funds (new,
recaptured, program income, and FOF) through an open and competitive process. Applications are evaluated
based on HUD and City requirements and how well they align with the City’s Five-Year Consolidated Plan goals
(see below), as well as the City’s Housing SLC Plan goals. The Council considers all public comments received,
along with the recommendations from the Mayor and the CDCIP advisory board before making funding
decisions. All HUD funding decisions made by the Council are subject to HUD approval. Trends in program
funding for Salt Lake City over recent years can be found below.
Estimated FY27 Funding
Program Estimated Total
CDBG $5,118,278
HOME $2,542,913
HOPWA $972,032
ESG $299,065
FOF $2,370,500
Total $11,302,788
1.Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). This program provides annual grants to states,
cities, and counties to create safe and affordable housing opportunities, expand neighborhood
transportation and economic opportunities, invest in social service programs, and more. As noted in the
chart above, in FY27 approximately $5,118,278 is available for allocation to CDBG programs. CDBG
grants focus on community development with an emphasis on physical improvements. CDBG funds are
allocated to organizations in three categories, listed below. City administration fees are limited to 20% of
the annual grant award and program income received during the program year.
Housing.
Neighborhood Improvements: This category funds transportation and economic
development infrastructure within the designated target area (see Attachment C4 for map).
Public Services: This category focuses on services for individuals in need, and not
necessarily on physical improvements, in contrast to other CDBG categories, and it is
typically the most competitive category. Its total amount is limited to 15% of the annual
CDBG award, and the recommendations for funding requests from the CDCIP Board and
Mayor add up to this maximum. This means that if the Council would like to allocate money
to any application beyond the Mayor’s recommended funding in this category, those funds
must be shifted from another Public Services application.
2.HOME Investment Partnership (HOME). This is the only grant program entirely focused
on expanding the supply of quality, affordable housing for low-to-moderate-income residents. It
allows states and municipalities to fund a wide range of activities, such as building, buying, or
rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership. It also may provide direct rental
assistance to renters. As noted in the chart above, approximately $2,542,913 is available for
FY27 allocation to CDBG programs. HOME funds are allocated to organizations providing
services in two categories (below). City administration fees are limited to 10% of the annual
grant award and program income received during the program year.
Standard HOME Funds.
Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO). This program reserves 15% of
the annual HOME grant award for certified projects which create or develop affordable
rental or homebuyer housing. Rental assistance, homeowner rehabilitation, and down
payment assistance are not eligible expenses. For this reason, the Housing Stability Division
works with the Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA) to include these funds in the CRA’s
annual Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) process for funding affordable housing
development. The Community Development Corporation of Utah is seeking certification as
a CHDO in Salt Lake City, but the Housing Stability Division reports that expanding the
number of CHDOs remains challenging, and that other areas of the country have similarly
struggled to meet the certification criteria.
3.Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA). The HOPWA Program is the
only Federal program dedicated to the housing needs of people living with HIV/AIDS. It
provides funding for
projects that address the needs of individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families. As noted in the
chart above, approximately $972,032 is available in FY27 for allocation to CDBG programs. City
administration fees are limited to 3% of the annual grant award.
4.Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG). The ESG program focuses on preventing homelessness
and providing services to individuals who are experiencing homelessness. Examples are street
outreach, emergency shelter, prevention efforts, and rapid re-housing assistance. As noted in
the chart above, in FY27 approximately $299,065 is available for allocation to ESG programs.
These funds are allocated to organizations providing services in two categories (below). City
administration fees are limited to 7.5% of the annual grant award.
ESG Part 1: Street Outreach and Emergency Shelter (limited to 60% of the total annual
grant award).
ESG Part 2: Homelessness Prevention, Rapid Re-Housing, and Homeless Management
Information Systems.
5.Funding Our Future (FOF) Housing Funds. As alluded to earlier, in each annual budget
process the Council sets the amount of FOF housing funding and also chooses general categories
for its use. For FY26, the Council opted to provide these housing funds for two categories:
Tenant-based Housing Assistance, and Equity and Homeownership Assistance.
Funding Contingencies. Annual HUD program funding is allocated by the Council on the basis of estimates
of funding that has not yet been received. For this reason, contingencies are needed to compensate for
differences between estimates and actual grant amounts received. Each year the advisory board recommends
specific contingencies, which are summarized in the table below. The Council may wish to review the
contingencies listed below and identify any changes they wish to make in case HUD’s confirmation of final
funding amounts is not available by the scheduled vote on April 21.
FY27 Council Funding Contingencies
If MORE funding is available If LESS funding is available
CDBG
Allocate 20% of the annual CDBG award
to program administration. Allocate 15%
of the annual award and estimated 2026-
27 CDBG Program Income to Public
Services. Add additional funding to the
highest-scoring applications up to and in
excess of the full ask before moving to the
next highest-scoring application. As much
as practicable, round to the nearest
$1,000 or $10,000.
Allocate 20% of the annual CDBG award to program

Remove funding from the lowest-scoring activities down to the
minimum amount required to run the program, moving up
from the lowest-scoring, funded activity. If you reach the top
of the programs and funding still needs to be decreased,
remove the lowest scoring, funded activity, and reallocate the
funding to the highest scoring activity up to the board's
recommended amounts, moving down the list. Round to the
nearest $1,000 or $10,000.
ESG
Allocate 7.5% of the annual ESG award to
program administration. Do not exceed
the 60% Part 1 funding cap. Add
additional funding to the highest-scoring
applications up to or in excess of the full
ask before moving to the next highest-
scoring application. As much as
practicable, round to the nearest $1,000.
Allocate 7.5% of the annual ESG award to program

HOME
Allocate 10% of the annual HOME award
to program administration. Allocate 15%
of the annual award for the CHDO Set-
Aside. Add additional funding to the
highest-scoring applications up to or in
excess of the full ask before moving to the
next highest-scoring application. As much
as practicable, round to the nearest
$1,000 or $10,000.
Allocate 10% of the annual HOME award to program
administration. Allocate 15% of the annual award and 15% of
the estimated 2024-25 CDBG Program Income to Public
Services. Remove funding from the lowest-scoring activities
down to the minimum amount required to run the program,
moving up from the lowest-scoring, funded activity. If you
reach the top of the programs and funding still needs to be
decreased, remove the lowest scoring, funded activity, and
reallocate the funding to the highest scoring activity up to the
board's recommended amounts, moving down the list. Round
to the nearest $1,000 or $10,000.
HOPWA
Allocate 3% of the annual HOPWA award
to program administration. Add
additional funding to the highest-scoring
applications up to the full ask before
moving to the next highest-scoring
application. As much as practicable,
round to the nearest $1,000 or $10,000.
Allocate 3% of the annual HOPWA award to program
administration. Remove funding from the lowest-scoring
activities down to the minimum amount required to run the
program, moving up from the lowest-scoring, funded activity.
If you reach the top of the programs and funding still needs to
be decreased, remove the lowest scoring, funded activity, and
reallocate the funding to the highest scoring activity up to the
board's recommended amounts, moving down the list. Round
to the nearest $1,000 or $10,000.
FOF
Add additional funding to the highest-
scoring applications up to the full ask
before moving to the next highest-scoring
application. As much as practicable,
round to the nearest $100 or $1,000.
Because the FOF funding amount is appropriated in the
previous year’s City budget, contingencies only arise when an
applicant declines or withdraws from an award. This inevitably
makes more funding available to be redistributed to other
applicants, rather than less.
FY27 HUD Entitlement Allocations and the FY25-29 Consolidated Plan. HUD requires that the City’s
longer-run funding goals and strategies for using Federal funds be guided by a five-year Consolidated Plan. The
updated Plan, which was drafted by the Division of Housing Stability for the period FY2025 to 2029, was
adopted by the Council in 2025. The plan spells out the goals and strategies that determine eligibility for HUD
grant funding and identifies geographic target areas for the CDBG neighborhood improvement category funding.
A city which does not fund applications that advance the five-year plan could be considered as
“underperforming,” which could lead to reductions in future grant awards and audits of the program. The target
area delineates the geographic boundaries for spending CDBG funding on economic development and public
infrastructure improvements (Attachment C4). Focusing federal grants in specific target areas is intended to
maximize community impact and stimulate investments from other entities in these neighborhoods. These
applications are included in the CDBG Neighborhood Improvements category on the funding log. Examples of
these project types include small business façade improvement grants, public transit improvements, and
creation of ADA ramps. FOF funding is not subject to HUD geographic restrictions and may be used anywhere in
the City.
Trends in City Housing Funding. As seen in the chart below, HUD Grant funding remained relatively stable
through recent years. However, from FY25 to FY27, the total amount of funding available for CDBG grants grew
by 56% and HOME grants more than doubled. There are two main sources for these changes:
A sharp increase over FY26 in the amount of recaptured funds in CBDG and HOME funding
categories. (See section on recaptured funds above.)
The City’s policy change which includes the past year’s program income in the current year’s
CBDG and HOME funding for allocation.

While many housing programs are designed for families or general populations, single
survivors, particularly those without children, are frequently excluded from family-focused
transitional housing models. This project fills that gap by creating 24 self-contained studio
apartments that provide autonomy and stability while connecting residents to trauma-
informed support.

FTB helps preserve affordable housing and upkeep the current housing stock in SLC by
remediating unreinforced masonry (URM) homes. There are over 30,000 URM buildings in SLC.
A URM is a brick home that was built before 1970 and poses a significant seismic risk since the
roof is not connected to the walls. FTB connects the roof to the walls with helical pins and metal
strapping as well as chimney bracing. This provides additional time for the individuals who may
be in the home to escape during an earthquake. Although this improvement is not meant to
save the structure, it was found that during the large earthquake in 2020 the majority of the
homes that had this work done did not collapse.

FSH’s Resource Center Program improves treatment access for shelter guests and unsheltered
people with substance use disorders (SUDs) and co-occurring health conditions. By embedding
a behavioral health team within the Gail Miller Resource Center, RCP helps bridge this gap to
homeless services and remove barriers such as benefits eligibility, record transfers, and
reluctance to engage in care. This approach ensures that people with co-occurring behavioral
health conditions, who are often overlooked by traditional systems, can access the services
necessary to achieve stability and reduces the reliance on emergency systems while
interrupting the cycle of recurring homelessness, and improving long-term housing and health
outcomes.

Erik Fro nberg, Salt Lake City Hou sing Stability Division 9/25/2024
Attachment C5. Housing Stability Responses to Council Member Questions,
March 24 Work Session.
Some of these responses were edited by Council staff for clarity.
1. CDBG #9, NIS Team, Fix the Bricks. How many homes have they finished in recent years?
NIS Team: “Since January 2024, we have completed 139 Fix the Bricks projects, 6 of
which were funded fully through CDBG, for households under 80% AMI. We have also
utilized the City General Fund match for 47 FEMA-funded projects for households under
100% AMI.”
2. CDBG #17, South Valley Services, Case Management. How many Salt Lakers receive the
benefit of this funding?
South Valley Services, CDBG: “[…] SVS anticipates the Shelter Director and Community
Resource Center Director will support case management service delivery to over 450 Salt
Lake City residents in FY27.”
3. Same question on FOF#12, South Valley Services.
South Valley Services will serve 175 Salt Lake City residents if awarded funding. They
have historically only served Salt Lake City residents with awarded FOF funding.
Housing Stability also provided information for the Big Brothers Big Sisters CDBG
application: “60 children and youth in Salt Lake City will be matched one-to-one with an
adult mentor outside their immediate family. Children and youth in our programs will
be provided with resources that go beyond academics to support their whole
development.”
4. In general, for grants which have not yet spent more than 5% of recent years’ awards, what
are reasons that funds haven’t yet been spent?
The “unspent funds” shown in the Funding Log are presented as the collective total
remaining balance of funds for each organization, broken out by funding source (HUD
or Funding Our Future), rather than per application, program, or award. These figures
reflect unspent funds over the past three completed program years for each agency,
under each of the respective funding sources. Housing Stability has created a new
spreadsheet (see Attachment C6) that more clearly identifies the specific programs and
awards for each agency with unspent funds, and their responses to the unspent funds in
question.
Housing Stability recognizes this may have caused confusion, and moving forward, we
will present this information to the CDCIP board and subsequently to Council in a
cleaner, more detailed way.
Additionally, after further review, to ensure we provide the most up-to-date and accurate
information, we need to note two corrections to the original “unspent funds” listed.
For CDCU, there was a transposition error on our original Funding Log. Their
unspent HUD funds from FY22-25 should have stated $5,386.41, which is
below 1% of their awarded HUD funds. As explained above, this includes CDBG
#10, HOME #4, HOME #5, and HOME #9.
These numbers were calculated in the fall ahead of the CDCIP Board’s review
process; since then, the NIS team has spent a significant amount of additional
funding. Their unspent funds went from $633,737.41 to $132,284.01, which is
less than 5% of the HUD funds awarded.
5. Correction of typo on HOME #2.
The correct description of the application should be listed as follows:
“The Road Home will provide rental assistance and supportive services to 40 households
participating in its Rapid Re-Housing (RRH) program. Financial assistance may include
security and utility deposits, utility assistance, rental payments, and the removal of
housing barriers, where eligible and necessary.
In addition to housing assistance, households will receive comprehensive supportive
services designed to promote long-term stability. These services will include
individualized case management, assistance with applying for and securing public
benefits, support in increasing income, job readiness, and access to employment
opportunities. Case Managers will also provide referrals to specialized service providers,
including healthcare, mental health services, and other community-based resources, to
ensure holistic support tailored to each household’s unique needs.”
6. FOF #21 First Step House, Housing Case Management. What’s their success rate over the
past few years?
First Step House served 413 clients with FOF case managers in the last two years. 206
clients exited to stable housing, and 351 clients avoided an exit to homelessness or jail.
These percentages (50% and 85% respectively) are 10-15% higher compared to all clients
served. First Step House also provided some other outcome metrics. 46% of clients
completed their full treatment plan, compared to 32% of all clients. 78% were abstinent
from drugs and alcohol at discharge, compared to 54% of all clients.

Asian Association of
Utah FOF Mortgage Assistance Program $50,000 $17,959 36%
In 2021 AAU was awarded mortgage assistance funding. They later extended the term period on this award. Feeling confident in a community need,
despite not having completed their previous spending, they applied for three additional mortgage assistance and homeownership programs in 2022
and 2023. Each year they were one of only two or three applicants. After several years of outreach and marketing, they were unable to find
enough eligible clients to spend their funding. Prioritization of earlier funding meant even less funding awarded later was spent. Finally, the
long-time Executive Director and several housing program managers departed during this time period. This added instability may have contributed
to low spenddown, either directly or by impacting the other factors. In 2024 AAU decided to return all of their homeowner funding. They have
not applied for this category in subsequent years.Asian Association of

In 2022 AAU was awarded a rental assistance funding. They later extended the term period on this award, and applied for funding again the
following two years. Because of this, AAU did not fully spend down their rental assistance award before they began spending their award for the
next year. Additionally, the long-time Executive Director and several housing program managers departed during this time period. This added
instability may have contributed to low spenddown, either directly or by impacting the other factor.Asian Association of

The main contributing factors for us underspending those awards are: 1. Significant internal staff and program transition; and 2. Challenges in
accurately projecting the needs with the boundary and qualification restrictions of the program.
1. In the fall of 2022 our Executive Director, Shu Cheng, announced his retirement. The AAU Board of Directors started the recruiting process
which led to the hire of Scott Cougill in early 2023. As our executive leadership changed, the leadership of the Housing Program at that time,
also changed. The program director overseeing the housing program along with the two housing case managers resigned from their positions. The
spring of 2023 through to the fall of 2023 allowed AAU to restructure it’s programming while also rehiring for the vacant positions. I was
appointed as the Director of Refugee Services in late 2023. During the restructuring, our Housing program fell under my direction. My first
step was to rehire for the vacant Housing Coordinator position which led to the hiring of our current Housing Coordinator, Abdi Sheikh. From
there, Abdi and I were able to rebuild the foundations of personnel for the Housing Team and begin to effectively meet the program needs. This
restructuring took place from the Fall of 2023 to the Spring of 2024.
2. Within housing supportive services we face many challenges to effectively support clients in their journey toward stable housing and self-
sufficiency. One of these challenges is to forecast the needs of the community with the programming and support we offer. Each year we do our
best to review the previous year’s data along with the community’s request for services to project the level of support we are able to offer to
community. Those factors, along with the variables in eligibility for the assistance, typically produce some graps in what we project compared
to our actual program delivery. This data is consistently analyzed to improve year after year. Overall, our approach to approving financial
rental assistance support leans more toward being conservative and methodical about the use of community funds compared to approving and
providing support for all who apply. We seek to utilize the funding responsibility and in alignment with the city and grant goals. Our efforts
moving forward will continue to focus on careful and responsible execution to help the city’s most vulnerable while being as fiscally
responsible as possible.
Specifically for our ESG Homeless Prevention and Support for BIPOC Communities grant, the issue was connected to the timing of utilizing the
direct client rental assistance funds compared to the utilization of the staffing/admin costs. We were able to utilizing the direct client
rental assistance funding within a 6 month period which left staffing and admin costs we were not able to bill because the goals and staff time
within the project were complete."
Assist INC CDBG Emergency Repair Program $747,547 $122,745 16%There were some regulatory questions with environmental reviews not condutced on certain types of projects, which caused a remining balance of

Neighborworks Utah CDBG Home Rehabiltaion and
Improvement $196,837 $119,587 61%
For 22-23 CDBG and HOME, the main hurdle was the late start--we didn't receive those contracts until mid-October. I noticed our Q3 report was
optimistic about spending the balance, but the final "NA" was clearly an administrative oversight during that staff transition. It didn't
accurately reflect our progress, which is why we’ve since overhauled our tracking to ensure our reporting stays consistent through the very end.
We now use an improved CRM platform called Compass2 provided by NeighborWorks America that helps us track projects and better set our clients
up for long-term success. Additionally, since Katee took on her role during the 24-25 CDBG funding period, her team has been focused on
optimizing our management guidelines and reporting.
Neighborworks Utah CDBG Home Rehabiltaion and
Improvement $358,000 $25,826 7%
Regarding the 24-25 CDBG funds, the remaining balance wasn't spent due to a client’s unfortunate health complications. These health issues
delayed the bidding process, and since construction would not have been finished by the contract deadline--and our window for an extension was
closed--we moved them to the next program year’s waitlist to stay in compliance. I do want to note that since implementing a new sealed bid
process with deadlines, our service delivery process is much more efficient. That client is currently prioritized on our waitlist and we are
prepared to begin their project immediately upon the finalization of the 25-26 contract.
We’re in a much stronger spot now with these new systems, and we’re seeing a lot more consistency in how we hit our milestones thanks to Katee
and her team's hard work setting up a much more accurate reporting baseline.
Neighborworks Utah HOME Home Buyer Program $208,661 $66,691 32%
For 22-23 CDBG and HOME, the main hurdle was the late start--we didn't receive those contracts until mid-October. I noticed our Q3 report was

NIS Team CDBG Small Repair Program $30,000 $11,150 37%
For the Small Repair Programs in FY 23 & 24 we returned the amounts below to focus on fully spending out the awarded funds for the following
year. As you can see, we spent down more in FY24 than we did in FY23 and since FY25 we have fully spent down or returned less than 2% of our
award for our Minor Repair and Home Repair programs. We have focused on additional outreach to ensure that we have enough applicants to spend
down the Minor Repair budget.
NIS Team CDBG Small Repair Program $41,142 $7,792 19%See explanation above
NIS Team CDBG Shared Equity Program $406,253 $68,873 17%We used the Shared Equity program to purchase two homes and add them to the CLT. The amount returned was due to the fact that we did not have
any additional CLT expenses and the remaining amount was not enough to purchase another home.
The Road Home FOF Shared Housing $100,000 $28,014 28%
In 2022 TRH was awarded House 20 and Shared Housing program funding. Staff turnover made them request extensions for their programs. They later
applied for additional funding for both programs the following two years. Prioritization of earlier funding meant less funding awarded the
following year was spent. The number of clients for both specialized programs are limited, so layered funding or staff turnover slowed
spending.
The Road Home FOF House 20 $250,000 $38,162 15%See explanation above
The Road Home FOF House 20 $250,000 $62,380 25%
The program manager for FOF awards at the Road Home vacated their position during the course of this award. It took several months before TRH
was able to find a replacement. Additionally, the number of clients for both specialized programs are limited, so this staff turnover slowed
spending.
Utah Community Action FOF McKinney-Vento Program $187,079 $77,848 42%
In 2021 UCA was given a FOF award to assist school-age homeless children and their families. They then received a much larger federal award
that served the same clients. In consultation with HSD staff, they prioritized their federal funding for their relatively small client base.
Despite their extensions, this left a large portion of their FOF funding unspent. Their funding expired in 2024, and they have not applied for
this programming again. This is the only FOF award that UCA has not fully spent.
Volunteers of America HOME TBRA - Youth Resource Center $174,867 $27,949 16%
During this fiscal year, we experienced staff turnover, including a transition in leadership, which impacted spending across certain contract
categories. When we have a vacancy, we're not able to charge the contract or draw down the funds. Despite these challenges, we were grateful to
exceed our service goals. Our original application projected serving 25 youth; however, we ultimately served 31 unduplicated youth during the
fiscal year. Of those served, 16 youth successfully exited the program within the same fiscal year.
In response to these circumstances, we anticipated the need to amend our contract and submitted a request at the end of February to reallocate
funds from administrative costs to direct client assistance. The amendment was approved by the City at the end of May, which left a limited
window to fully expend funds within the amended budget categories prior to the close of the fiscal year.
Regarding the specific unspent funds, the remaining $27,949 is comprised of the following:
$26,993.07 in rental assistance
$950 in IT-related expenses
$6.32 in cell phone expenses
With respect to the IT allocation, no computer purchase was ultimately made. The minimal balance in cell phone expenses was not utilized due to
staff turnover and the delayed start of the grant.
YWCA Utah FOF Huntsman Transitional
Housing $113,500 $10,848 10%The original terms and restrictions YWCA wrote into their program contract ended up being too restrictive for adequately finding and serving
client needs. Subsidy caps limited their ability to bridge the gap between extremely low-income households payment needs and fair market rent
levels. Amendments late in the contract period helped, but did not occur early enough to allow spenddown of the full award. Other factors
involving lower client enrollment impacted programming, and these factors have been addressed with new process improvements.
YWCA Utah CDBG Roof Replacement $221,000 $123,657 56%Bids for Construction came in under what was expected, so the project came in under budget.
Attachment C7. Responses to Council Questions in April 7 Work Session.
Housing Stability staff collected these responses from multiple sources and have edited some service provider’s
responses to provide greater clarity. Italicized text is a direct quote.
The Wasatch Community Gardens (WCG) Job Training Program’s Green Team provides
paid transitional employment, work readiness training, job placement support,
continuing education assistance, housing support, and mentoring and advocacy for
women facing or experiencing homelessness. These women work primarily at our farm
based in Glendale, growing produce that is then donated to feed over a thousand low-
income community members in Salt Lake City each year.
Each application was made to support different aspects of the Green Team: Case
Management and Programming.
o FOF (#12) - Case Management: According to WCG, the current
recommendation of $52,600 would support the salary of a Case Manager,
who provides a one-on-one continuum of care to connect current Green
Team participants as well as program graduates to housing resources and
other benefits for which they qualify. Many of the women begin the
program living in temporary shelters; the Case Manager’s role is essential
in providing stability and support for participants as they navigate
obstacles to improve their housing situation.
o CDBG (#27) - Programming: According to WCG, the $50,000 requested
would support the salary of the Job Training Program Director, who
oversees recruitment, job and life skills training, and job placement for
Green Team participants. She also maintains connections and
relationships with a dozen community partners in Salt Lake City, ensuring
fresh produce from the farm reaches over a thousand low-income
community members annually. The Job Training Program provides a
public service by equipping low-income community members with
practical skills, workforce experience, and support needed to secure
employment and increase their economic mobility.
Each of the above requests covers very distinct support functions for the Green Team.
Both are critical to program operations and positive outcomes, hence the separate
requests across two categories.
This is related to a parcel on 700 E Hollywood/Redondo Ave. Upon inquiry, WCG
provided the following response.
WCG is in the early stages of working with Salt Lake City Public Lands to take over
management of a neglected parcel on 700 E. This is an emerging project and is very
separate from our Funding Our Future and CDBG applications. We do, however,
anticipate that Green Team Program participants will intermittently help with
maintenance of the site, expanding their farming and research skills while furthering
the project.
We plan to utilize this site to conduct community science research in drought-resistant
crop varieties that will perform well in Salt Lake County. Our Education team has
found that there is very little information locally available to support local gardeners
and farmers in adapting their gardening practices to drought conditions, and
questions about adaptation methods are increasing. This project aims to fill this
critical gap in understanding and enhance our community's climate resiliency. We feel
this partnership is timely as we as a city are navigating population growth in tandem
with limited water resources, and we hope that this research will result in a greater
variety of locally available, water-wise crops that are adapted to Salt Lake’s climate to
support growers in our community. This project supports many of the goals outlined
in SLC Public Utilities' Water Conservation Plan and SLC's Urban Forest Action Plan.
This project is an example of the many ways in which the City relies on WCG to
directly meet increasing community demand for services. In addition to the above
programs, the City also relies on WCG to provide healthy food access and preservation
of urban green space through our longstanding Green City Growers partnership,
consisting of 9 WCG-managed community gardens on City land, with regular requests
from both the City and community to manage additional gardens.
3. Is there a potential overlap in funding requested for the South Valley
Services Case Management Services (in CDBG #17 and FOF #12)?
Clients do not receive rental assistance from both sources; therefore, those served with
HUD funding are distinct from those supported by FOF.
As you have probably picked up on, part of the reason we are so grateful for FoF is
that it was designed to give more flexibility to the organization, which means that we
are better able to protect our community members from domestic violence and sexual
assault, and to set our clients on the path to a future where they thrive.
Thanks again for the opportunity to receive these funds, and please let me know if you
have any other questions.
4. NeighborWorks (HOME #8 & FOF #3) is the amount for down payment
assistance enough?
5. Can HOME down payment assistance be used on townhomes and
condos?
6. What is the difference between The Road Home’s (FOF #9) and
Volunteers of America (FOF #16) House 20 programs?
House 20 began as a partnership and funding earmark between the City and The Road
Home. The Road Home (#9) intends to serve the 20 highest utilizers of emergency
services in the city. They keep track of these utilizers through SLCPD and local EMS.
Their goal is to serve 20 new clients during the program year, which may include new
clients or returning clients who were previously offboarded.
Volunteers of America House 20 program (#16) serves the 20 highest utilizers of their
shelter beds and services. Their goal is to serve 20 new clients during the program year,
which may include new clients or returning clients who were previously offboarded.
CDCU (#1) will provide DPA to approximately seven homebuyers earning up to 120% of
AMI in Salt Lake City, with assistance of up to $39,000 per household, as well as
additional education. They will pair assistance with silent second mortgages and shared
equity models.
NeighborWorks (#3) will provide DPA to approximately seven homebuyers earning up
to 80% AMI in Salt Lake City, with assistance up to $30,000 for down payment and
closing costs, and/or forgivable loans/grants up to $25,000 for home improvements,
and additional education.
Yes. Although funding for the two categories was approved as part of the FY26 budget
process, the funds are all within the same Cost Center and Fund. As a result, no budget
amendment would be required to reallocate funding between the two
categories. Council has the flexibility to shift between these categories or adjust their
intended use as they determine is appropriate.
Last year, UCA’s request was $330,000, and they were awarded $207,000. The only
other source of funding for this program came from federal CARES funding, which
ended in September. The larger request this year reflects a need for greater dependence
on this funding, the rising costs of rent, and a corresponding greater number of
projected clients served (41 last year vs. 83 this year). The program offers neutral
facilitation that aims to assist individuals experiencing a housing conflict or housing
instability. Their focus is to prevent people from losing their housing and includes both
education and facilitation. They anticipate assisting 83 people in the program year, if
awarded their full request.
10. FOF, are there overlapping services between the multiple projects
recommended for single providers? Specifically, TRH (FOF #6, #7, #9,
#22), potentially also AAU (FOF #15, #17), and CDCU (FOF #1, #2, #14).
11.Is ESG #5 Ruff Haven eligible for FOF funding?
