3.Ordinance: Zoning Map Amendment at Approximately 2350 North and
Annexation at Approximately 2441 North Rose Park Lane
The Council will accept public comment and consider a request for an annexation and
zoning changes for properties located at approximately 2350 North Rose Park Lane. The
changes include:
Annexation into Salt Lake City approximately 28 acres of property generally
located at approximately 2441 North Rose Park Lane. The annexation requires
designating a zone for each property within the annexation area. The properties
are proposed to be zoned as follows:
•2440 N Rose Park Lane (City-owned) – OS, Open Space
•2441 N Rose Park Lane (Hunter Stables) – R-MU, Residential/Mixed-Use
•2462 N Rose Park Lane (State-owned) – OS, Open Space
Zoning Map Amendment at approximately 2350 North Rose Park Lane from AG-
2 – Agricultural to R-MU, Residential/Mixed Use. The property is currently
within Salt Lake City boundaries. Although the petitions propose specific zones
for the properties, the Council may consider other zones with similar
characteristics. The properties at 2350 and 2441 North are currently used for
horse boarding and outdoor equipment storage.
The changes would facilitate the future development of a mixed-use, multi-family
residential development with potentially 1800 dwelling units. Additional
properties at 2440 North (City-owned) and 2462 North Rose Park Lane (State-
owned) would be annexed into the City as part of the petition. Petition No.

Nick Tarbet gave a brief overview of the proposal.
Cindy Cromer, Kasey O’Connor, Jennifer Carter, Willis Kenner, Suzy
George, Doug George and Kent Kingston spoke in opposition to the proposal,
stating (in summary):
• Living near the freeway could have harmful effects
• Proposal failing to protect residents from the negative effects of pollution
• The number of units proposed for the property far exceeding the space
• Traffic and noise would be created
• Changing the zoning would not benefit the area as it was small and adding density
would impact the health of those living there
• Traffic was already an issue with the soccer fields and truck traffic and the
development would exacerbate the issues
• The area should remain open
• The proposed development would block views and take away from the beautiful
nature of the area
• Asked Council to not make Salt Lake look like other overcrowded cities
• The property should remain rural
• Proposed development would overwhelm the schools
• Property was on a dead end/one lane road with traffic exceeding the current usage
• Quality of life would be impacted and activities in the area were limited
• The existing canal was a safety issue
• Emergency crews could not access the area in a timely manner currently and
additional traffic would make matters worse
Jason Boal (on behalf of Applicant) thanked the Council for support and expressed
willingness to work through the concerns raised by residents.
Max Corwin spoke to the housing crisis in the nation, the need to create more homes
for people and developments such as the proposed would help.
Motion:
Moved by Council Member Petro, seconded by Council Member Puy to close
the public hearing and defer action to a future Council meeting.
AYE: Ana Valdemoros, Victoria Petro, Daniel Dugan, Chris Wharton, Alejandro Puy,
Darin Mano, Sarah Young
Final Result: 7 – 0 Pass
