SALT LAKE CITY I PLAN SALT LAKE Mil OVERVIEW PURPOSE The purpose of Plan Salt Lake is to create a shared Vision for the future of Salt Lake City for the next 25 years.The Plan outlines the over arching`umbrella"policies related to managing growth and change that are best identified on a citywide level. This document is intended to provide direction to policy makers,residents,properly owners,designers,planners, business owners,and leaders.The purpose of Plan Salt Lake is to: • Establish and articulate a citywide vision for Sall Lake City; • Identify the commonly held values of our community; • Establish a framework for future community master plans and element plans(also known as thematic plans)to carry out the Vision;and • Set targets and identify metrics to help measure our success over time. PROCESS The first step in determining where we want to be as a City was to analyze where we are today,creating a baseline for measuring our progress overtime.In January 2or4,the Plan Salt Lake Existing Conditions Report was complete.The report presents a significant amount of data in many different areas to develop a full and clear picture of Salt Lake City. Next,the Plan Salt Lake team undertook an extensive public input and research process,analyzing existing City policies and planning documents.Over a two year period,the Plan Salt Lake team received input from thousands of citizens and stakeholders. IMPLEMENTATION Plan Sall Lake establishes a framework for neighborhood,community,and clement plans to implement the 204o Vision. The Plan is broken down into thirteen Guiding Principles,each with a set of Initiatives that provide more detail and depth fo the Vision.Future community master plans and element plans will he guided by these citywide Principles and initiatives and should address how they individually contribute to carrying out the shared Vision identified in this document.Because each neighborhood and individual community within Salt Lake City is unique,each community will help carry out the Vision in its own unique way. A matrix,found on pages 42 and 43,has been developed to help us measure our progress overtime.It includes the Guiding Principles and 2014Targets,as well as the unit,of measurement and baseline numbers.

Major projects,such as new parks. recreation centers, water treatment facilities. tire and police stations and other principal buildings should go through a public process. Minor facilities should be expected within neighborhoods,often without being specifically identified in a master plan. SALT LAKE CITY I PLAN SALT LAKE MI SUSTAINABLE GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT (continued) COMPATIBILITY Compatibility of development generally refers to how a development integrates into the existing scale and character of a neighborhood.New development should be context sensitive to the surrounding development,taking into account the existing character of the neighborhood while providing opportunities for new growth and to enhance the sense of place. MAXIMIZE PUBLIC INVESTMENTS 'flu cost of public infrastructure investments,such as transit,can he recaptured through new development and increases in density.Transit-oriented development maximizes transit infrastructure benefits through increased ridership and density.This type of development results in more walkable, vibrant,and accessible neighborhoods,as well as increases in property values and sales tax revenues for the community.
