B. Redevelopment Agency Semi-Annual Property Report
Danny Walz shared the RDA Semi-Annual Property report that was presented to the RDA Board of
Directors in November, 2022 (attached). He explained that property acquisition and disposition is one of
the most valuable tools the Agency must create redevelopment and initiate change within the RDA
project areas. He added that property disposition and development is how the Agency raises the bar in
the level of public benefits staff hopes to get out of projects. Mr. Walz said there are properties on the
list that are interim and will ultimately be put out for redevelopment and there are properties that the
Agency is the long-term holder with uses in place as part of the goal for that project area.
The properties were grouped according to project area, with the following information about specific
properties noted during the presentation:
1) 9 Line- Mr. Walz said that the Commissary Kitchen is currently leasing the RDA's property at 900
West 400 South.
o Ms. Rowland asked if the Agency has a relocation policy for existing tenants. Mr. Walz
said there is not an official policy, but the Agency relies on best practices for relocation
assistance.
2) Block 70—Includes Eccles Theater and Regent Street.The Eccles Theater is a permanent use and
the Agency owns the property with the City and the County and is part of the board that
oversees the theater.The Regent Street property is located on the corner of Regent Street and
200 South, and the Agency is currently under contract with Dakota Pacific to determine the
reuse of the property.

which include:
o The Broadway Center parking garage which was built by the RDA and leased back to the
owners of the office building.

which we lease to Boyer as part of the One Utah Center.The RDA is the owner of the

priorities after a recent change in leadership and will likely not participate in the
development in the way that was previously envisioned (as an anchor tenant). He said
that the Agency is currently considering potential uses for the property and will
continue working on our plans for the district in the new year.
