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 Civic/Mixed Use in order to encourage civic-related and a mix of other uses including residential 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. 3 • 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.
