A. Surplus Land Disposition Policy: Prioritizing Affordable Housing
During the April 3rd Surplus Land Disposition Policy discussion, the Council
asked Administration staff for a status update about, and to share, the
inventory of city-owned property. Administration staff said they are
working on getting it completed. The Council decided to postpone action on
this item until the entire list was forwarded. The proposed Surplus Land
Disposition Policy would add affordable housing to the list of priorities
disposing of city-owned property.
The Council office received the list of city-owned property on September 17.
➢ Does the Council want to schedule a second briefing and consider
adopting the Surplus Land Disposition Policy?
➢ A public hearing is not required. It can be put on the agenda for
potential action.
Cindy Gust-Jenson, Executive Council Director, said this had
previously been postponed and the policy would add affordable
housing to the list of priorities to be considered when disposing of
City owned property.
Jennifer Bruno, Executive Council Deputy Director, said an outside
consulting firm reviewed all publicly-owned properties in Salt Lake
City and Salt Lake County. She said there had been communication
with Salt Lake County to verify the lists were consistent, and there
would be an Urban Land Institute (ULI) conference in November in
Salt Lake City to discuss the list. She said an invite will be forwarded
to all Council Members to attend.
There were no objections/discussion from Council Members.
