4. Zoning Map Amendment for 10th East Senior Center at Approximately 237 S & 239 S 1000 East– Mayor Erin Mendenhall has initiated a petition to rezone the city-owned properties at the above listed addresses. The properties are currently split zoned, with portions of the properties zoned R-2 (Single- and Two-Family Residential
District), SR-3 (Special Development Pattern Residential District), and PL (Public Lands
District). The zoning amendment would amend the zoning for the properties to be
entirely PL (Public Lands District). The purpose of the amendment is to zone the
properties with a district that aligns with and supports the public uses on the
properties. Although the properties are being proposed for the PL zoning district,
consideration may be given to rezoning the properties to another zoning district with
similar characteristics. The subject properties are located within Council District 4,
represented by Eva Lopez. (Staff Contact: Ailin Leon at 801-535-7768 or
ailin.leon@slc.gov) Petition Number: PLNPCM2026-00091.
5. Zoning Map Amendment and General Plan Amendment at Approximately 140 B St
& 272 E 3rd Ave. – Tyler and Kara Alden, the property owners, are seeking approval of
zoning map amendment and general plan amendment petitions for the above listed
properties. The property at 140 N B St is the current site of Ellerbeck Bed and Breakfast
and Café 140 B. The property at 272 E 3rd Avenue is currently a single-family home. No new construction or modifications of the historic buildings on the properties are
proposed as part of this petition.
A. Zoning Map Amendment - To allow the house at 272 E 3rd Avenue to operate as a retail space and coffee/pastry shop, the applicant is requesting a zoning map amendment from RMF-35 to MU-2. Although the property is being proposed for the
MU-2 zoning district, consideration may be given to rezoning the property to
another zoning district with similar characteristics. The Ellerbeck B&B and Cafe 140
B are legal nonconforming uses, and although they are included in this proposal, no
change to the use or structures on this property is proposed as part of this petition.
Petition Number: PLNPCM2026-00034
B. General Plan Amendment - As the proposed zoning map amendment is not aligned
with the adopted Avenues future land use map, changing the zoning designation
also requires the general plan to be amended. Petition Number: PLNPCM2026-
00008
SALT LAKE CITY | PLANNING COMMISSION 4
The subject properties are within Council District 3, represented by Chris Wharton. (Staff Contact: Amanda Roman at 801-535-7660 or amanda.roman@slc.gov)

4. Climate Forward SLC Plan - Salt Lake City's Sustainability Department will introduce
the Climate Forward SLC plan, which will update the City’s climate strategy originally
outlined in Climate Positive 2040. While Climate Positive 2040 was not formally adopted, the intent is to adopt Climate Forward SLC as part of the city's general plan. Climate Forward SLC will identify the challenges and opportunities the community and
municipal government will face because of climate change, focus on actionable
strategies, and establish metrics to evaluate progress toward our climate goals. Staff
will present the findings from the recently completed Existing Conditions Report and
discuss next steps with the Commission. The plan will be presented to the Commission
for a formal recommendation once a draft plan is finalized and after the required public
engagement, later this year. (Staff Contact: Catherine Wyffels at 801-535-6540 or
