RESOLUTION NO. 40 OF 2013
A resolution regarding the 9 Line Master Plan.
WHEREAS, the City Council of Salt Lake City has established developing and updating
master plans for the city as a high priority; and
WHEREAS, the city council has determined that outlining each master plan's proposed
goals, outcomes and timelines will help guide the master planning process and promote its
purposes; and
WIIEREAS, the city has commenced work on the 9 Line Master Plan, a master plan
intended to guide the land use planning for an area generally described as the 900 South corridor
between 200 West and 900 West Streets.
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of Salt Lake City:
SECTION 1. That the city council hereby approves the following proposed goal of the 9
Line Master Plan:
Goal: The primary goal of this plan is to help bridge the gap between neighborhoods west
and east of I-15. It will create an east to west transportation link from west Salt Lake City
neighborhoods to fixed transit at the 900 South TRAX Station. The plan will also provide a
recreational amenity that is functional, attractive and that pays special attention to the
unique attributes of each adjacent neighborhood.
This master plan will address recreational and open space uses while also providing
direction on how other types of uses may be appropriate in and adjacent to the corridor. It
will define the principles and best practices for corridor,transportation and greenway plans.
It will determine a vision statement and guiding principles for development and will
ultimately develop strategies and action items that address the various form and functions of
the corridor.
The plan will also state how the corridor should interact with the existing multi-modal
transportation corridors, stressing the importance of the safety of users, as the path crosses
streets with a variety of functions and traffic volumes as well as active rail lines.
This master plan will create a framework for the eventual development of the entirety of the
9 Line corridor between 200 West and the Surplus Canal. It will define strategies and best
practices for the form and function of the corridor with regard to its surrounding
neighborhoods.
SECTION 2. That the city council hereby approves the following proposed outcome of
the 9 Line Master Plan:
Outcome: To reach these goals, the 9 Line Master Plan intends to achieve the following
outcomes:
• A framework of community values in the form of a clear vision and supporting
principles.
• A set of performance indicators that help us understand where we are, where we are
going, and how far we are from where we want to be.
• A set of goals that meet the needs of the eventual complete development of the 9
Line.
• Policies aligned to the specific goals outlined in the approved contract.
• A list of priority projects intended to implement these goals.
• An urban design framework that unifies but also respects the unique nature of
adjacent neighborhoods.
• A process for evaluating our progress that tell us if we are moving towards where we
want to be.
SECTION 3. That the city council hereby approves the following proposed timeline of
the 9 Line Master Plan:
Timeline: 9 Line Master Plan efforts began in April 2013 with initial planning
preparation. Currently, planning division staff is nearing completion of the existing
conditions analysis and has begun public engagement efforts. Drafting of the 9 Line
Master Plan will begin shortly. It is anticipated that the plan will be presented to the
planning commission in October 2013 at the earliest and transmitted to the city council
within a few weeks after the planning commission's vote thereon.
