PLNPCM2009-01423.
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Planning Commission ("Planning Commission") held
public hearings on March 24 and June 23, 2010 to consider the application of Salt Lake City
Mayor Ralph Becker(application no. PLNPCM2009-01423) to amend the text and future land
use map of the Central Community Master Plan to change the use designation of the block
bounded by 300 East, 400 South, 400 East, and 500 South from High Density Transit Oriented
Development; High Density Mixed Use; General Commercial; and, Residential Mixed Use to

and commercial; and
WHEREAS, at its June 23, 2010 public hearing, the Planning Commission voted in favor
of forwarding a positive recommendation to the Salt Lake City Council("City Council") that the
City Council approve the proposed master plan amendments; and
WHEREAS, after a public hearing held by the City Council on this matter, the City
Council has determined that the following ordinance is in the best interest of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. Amending Central Community Master Plan Text. That the text of
the following sections of the Central Community Master Plan document shall be
amended as indicated:
a. Amending page 9, center column, 6th paragraph following the heading
"Future Residential land use changes" of the Central Community Master Plan to
read as follows:
In the 400 South TOD zone, this plan recommends creating a new interior
pedestrian corridor along 450 South between 200 and 700 East with a
possible extension to Gilgal Garden between 700 and 800 East. The light
rail line along 400 South strongly supports this land use change, which
will evolve gradually as the possibilities become apparent to residents
and developers. The 450 South Corridor can be supported and enhanced in
the area immediately to the east of the City and County Building with
mixed land uses such as Salt Lake City government administration, courts,
public safety administration, medium to high density residential, ground
level interactive uses (small retail, offices, public gatherings), cultural
facilities, as well as open space enhancements.
b. Amending page 12, center column, paragraph beginning with the header
"Government land use" of the Central Community Master Plan, and inserting a new
paragraph immediately thereafter to read as follows:
Government land use: This land use includes facilities operated by
Federal, State, County, and City agencies, such as storage yards,
recreation centers,jails and courts, fire stations, police stations,
professional offices, and libraries. These facilities may be located
generally throughout the central business district, with smaller
neighborhood oriented service facilities located in neighborhoods.
Concentration of local government administration and office facilities,
particularly Salt Lake City administration, courts,public safety and
cultural facilities near the City and County Building will help create
efficiencies in services which are often interrelated, and help improve
access to services for local residents and businesses. Applying sound
urban design principles and appropriate architectural character to these
uses will also provide a positive transition from the Central Business
District to the Central City Neighborhood.
c. Amending page 13, center column, 2nd paragraph following the heading
"Future Institutional land use changes" (which heading first appears in the far
left column) of the Central Community Master Plan to read as follows:
2
Expansion of large-scale medical facilities and services within the Central
Community will take place in the Gateway and Downtown areas of the
community. Cultural and governmental land uses will also be encouraged
to expand within the downtown area, with Salt Lake City administration,
courts and cultural facilities concentrated in the vicinity of the City and
County Building.
d. Amending page 13, center and far right columns to amend the text of
Institutional Land use policies INSLU-1.1, INSLU-4.1, and INSLU-4.3 of the
Central Community Master Plan and adopting a new Institutional land use policy
INSLU-4.4 therein such that only the following policy sections thereof shall be
amended, or, in the case of INSLU-4.4, adopted, to read as follows:
INSLU-1.1 Ensure that transportation and vehicle circulation impacts are
mitigated when expansion or intensification of an institutional land use
occurs. Encourage incorporation of residential uses as part of or near new
or redeveloped Institutional use projects in the East Downtown area, e.g.
the public safety building project.
INSLU-4.1 Encourage the concentration of federal, state, and
local government office facilities, courts, and cultural facilities in or near
the Central Business District with convenient access to light rail in order
to provide easy availability to the greatest number of people.
INSLU-4.3 Ensure City and encourage Federal State and County entities
that the architecture of new government or public buildings complements
and enhances the urban design of the community and the landscaping
achieves continuity among neighboring government building sites.
INSLU-4.4 Concentrate the development of Salt Lake City
administration, courts and cultural facilities near the City and County
Building to encourage efficient services, improve access for businesses
and residents, facilitate improved work and communication among
interrelated departments and divisions, provide opportunities for public
gatherings and interaction, and support and enhance the development of a
pedestrian corridor along 450 South established by the axis between the
Matheson Courthouse, the City and County Building, the Library Square
block, and possibly further east toward 400 East.

•
e. That the plan be amended to include a policy statement that states that any
development between the City and County Building and Gilgal Gardens shall
preserve the 450 South corridor.
SECTION 2. Amending Central Community Master Plan Future Land use Map.
The Central Community Master Plan Future Land Use Map shall be and hereby is
amended to reflect that the block bounded by the public streets of 300 East, 400 South,
400 East, and 500 South and currently designated"High Density Transit Oriented
Development", "High Density Mixed Use", "General Commercial", and "Residential
Mixed Use" is now designated as "Civic/Mixed Use", as depicted in Exhibit"A" attached
hereto.
SECTION 3. Additional Legislative Intent. The City Council hereby requests
that the City's Administration research the costs to acquire a public easement of 450
South between 300 East and 400 East.

its first publication.
