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.

stated that staff are recommending a positive recommendation to the City Council.
