SALT LAKE CITY | PLANNING COMMISSION 3 Vote Yes: Barret, Rosenfield, Scott, Sullivan No: Result W O R K S E S S I O N S 4. Central Community Plan – Planning staff will provide a brieﬁng on the process of updating the Central Community Plan and the existing conditions for the community. The Central Community Plan establishes land use and growth-related policies for the area and will be used to help guide zoning, transportation, housing, and other growth- related decisions. The plan area encompasses ﬁve neighborhood-planning areas: Central City, East Central North, East Central South, Liberty, and Ballpark. (Staff Contact: Meagan Booth at 801-535-7213 or meagan.booth@slc.gov) Principal Planners Meagan Booth and Seth Rios reviewed the plan as outlined in the staff report. The key takeaways are the concentrated growth in Ballpark and Central City neighborhoods, that housing affordability remains a challenge, there is strong transit and active transportation networks but uneven access to parks as well as uneven tree coverage, historic inequities continue to inﬂuence the community conditions and the signiﬁcant variations among the neighborhoods. Commissioners and staff discussed the ﬁndings of the existing conditions report. Meagan shared the plan’s public outreach event calendar and encouraged the public to visit slc.link.gov/CentralCommunityPlan to ﬁll out the survey. 5. Expanding Housing Options – Planning staff recently concluded the public engagement phase of Expanding Housing Options, a citywide Zoning Text Amendment affecting low-density neighborhoods. Staff will provide a brief overview of the proposal and a summary of the comments received during engagement. The proposal would add a new section establishing zoning standards for Small Lot Dwellings and make amendments to the R-1, R-2, SR-1, SR-1A, Flag Lot, Deﬁnitions, and Table of Uses sections in the zoning ordinance. Staff is requesting feedback and direction on several key issues raised during engagement. (Staff Contact: Andy Hulka at 801-535-6608 or andy.hulka@slc.gov.)
