SUBJECT: PLNPCM2019-01036 and PLNPCM2019-01037 – Rosewood Park Street Vacation
and Alley Vacation
STAFF CONTACT: Chris Earl, Associate Planner, christopher.earl@slcgov.com, (801)535-
7932
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: Follow the recommendation of the Planning Commission and approve
the proposed street vacation and alley vacation. Upon completion of lot consolidation, Section
15.04.350: OTHER PARKS will need to be amended to reflect the changes to the description of
Rosewood Park.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: This is a request by Olga Crump of the Real Estate Services
Department of Salt Lake City for street vacations and alley vacations within Rosewo od Park in
order to consolidate the property to simplify the permitting process for future improvement
projects. The original Street Closure petition was amended to a Street Vacation petition.
Rosewood Park is located at approximately 1400 N and 1200 W in the Rose Park area of Salt
Lake City. The park is located between 1200 W and I-15 and encompasses approximately 28
acres.
Rosewood Park was constructed in 1977 over a portion of the Kinney and Gourlay’s Improved
Subdivision, recorded in 1887, that was originally platted for residential lots with alleys and

streets servicing those parcels. These alleys and streets were never constructed and do not
physically exist, but they still exist legally on paper. The area where Rosewood Park is located is
broken up into numerous parcels due to the existence of these platted streets and alleys. The alley
vacation and street closure applications are requesting to remove these alleys and streets from the
plat in order to consolidate the parcels and form one parcel to simplify the building permit
process for future improvement projects.
The platted streets and alleys within Rosewood Park are disconnected from any established road
network system, do not provide access to adjacent private property and would not serve a
broader connectivity function. The City’s Transportation Master Plan does not show proposals
for these roads or alleys and the deletion of these will have no adverse effects to any future
development in the area. Rosewood Park, as well as the adjacent land to the north, are zoned OS
Open Space, which would further limit other types of development of the area.
Staff finds that the subject streets and alleys provide no significant pedestrian or vehicular
connection and hinder the goals of adopted area master plans which emphasize the importance of
recreational facilities and the ability to maintain and improve the facilities to match City growth.
Once the streets and alleys within Rosewood Park are vacated and the parcels contained within
are consolidated into a singular parcel, the Salt Lake City Ordinance Section 15.04.350: OTHER
PARKS will no longer reflect an accurate description of Rosewood Park. Because of this, it is
advised that Real Estate Services or the Parks Department seek an amendment to this section of
the ordinance in order to update and reflect the correct description of Rosewood Park.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
• Staff held an Open House at the Salt Lake City Main Library on December 12, 2019.
Staff discussed the project with attendees who generally supported the project. One
comment was received that was in support of the project.
• A public hearing with the Planning Commission was held on January 22, 2020. No one
from the public commented on the proposal. The Planning Commission discussed the
request and voted to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council.
• Due to the amendment of the Street Closure application to Street Vacation, a second
public hearing with the Planning Commission was held on August 26, 2020. No one
from the public commented on the proposal. The Planning Commission discussed the
request and voted to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council.

REQUEST: A request by Olga Crump of the Real Estate Services Department of Salt Lake City for
alley vacations and street closures within Rosewood Park in order to consolidate the property to
simplify the permitting process for future improvement projects. These streets and alleys were platted
as part of the Kinney and Gourlay’s Improved Subdivision, recorded in 1887, but were never
constructed.
The Planning Commission’s role in this application is to provide a recommendation to the City Council
for the street closure request. The City Council will make the final decision regarding the requests.
RECOMMENDATION: Based on the information in this staff report, Planning Staff recommends
that the Planning Commission forward a positive recommendation to the City Council for the request
to close the streets and vacate the alleys within Rosewood Park with the following conditions:
• The closed streets and vacated alleys, as well as remaining parcels, will be consolidated into
one parcel.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Rosewood Park, developed in 1977, is located at approximately 1400 N
and 1200 W in the Rose Park area of Salt Lake City. The park is located between 1200 W and I-15 and
encompasses approximately 28 acres which is mostly grass (primarily used as soccer fields) but has
amenities such as baseball and softball fields, a playground, tennis courts, a dog park and a skate park.
The proposed street closure and alley vacation involves six unimproved streets and 5 unimproved alleys
within Rosewood Park dedicated in the Kinney and Gourlay’s Improved Subdivision. The subdivision
was platted in 1887 but never developed as intended.
No modifications will be made to Rosewood Park as part of these applications. Rosewood Park was
constructed in a part of the Kinney and Gourlay’s subdivision that was originally platted for residential
lots with alleys and streets servicing those parcels. Although these alleys and streets do not physically
exist, they still exist legally on paper. The area where Rosewood Park is located is broken up into
numerous tiny parcels due to the existence of these streets and alleys. The alley vacation and street
closure applications are requesting to remove these alleys and streets from the plat in order to
consolidate the parcels and form one parcel to make it easier to obtain building permits for future
improvement projects.
When construction occurs on any property within Salt Lake City, a building permit is required.
Building permits are issued based on the parcel in which the construction will occur. If construction
will occur on multiple parcels, a building permit would be required for each parcel and zoning
regulations would apply to each individually.
It was a common practice for the City to construct parks or other public facilities over multiple parcels
and right-of-ways when the City owned all of the land within the development. Because a separate
permit must be pulled for each parcel, this would often create problems when trying to meet zoning
requirements such as setbacks or lot coverage for each of the separate parcels within the development.
Building within public right-of-ways can also present challenges since permissions could be required
from Salt Lake City Engineering or Real Estate Services Department in order to build within these
right-of-ways. With the large number of parcels that exist within Rosewood Park, an improvement
project could require multiple permits. Tracking multiple building permits through the permitting
* Existing parcels within Rosewood Park
process as well as the inspections process is a daunting task. One that would be streamlined if only one
permit were required.
If Rosewood Park were to be consolidated into one singular parcel, it would greatly increase the ease
and efficiency of obtaining and tracking building permits as well as meeting the standards for zoning
requirements.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS:
Consideration 1: City Goals and Policies
Although none of the City master plans that provide guidance for these properties specifically address
street closures, the Northwest, Rose Park Small Area, Salt Lake City Transportation Master Plans and
Plan Salt Lake help to determine if the request is in line with city goals and is in the city’s best interest.
The Northwest Master Plan, adopted in 1992, recognizes the importance of recreation to the residents
of Salt Lake City. It was indicated that with increased population, there is a need for new recreational
facilities as well as improvements to existing facilities. The current Northwest Master Plan intends to
continue the efforts to meet recreational needs outlined in the 1977 Salt Lake City Parks and Recreation
Plan and the 1980 Northwest Master Plan.
The citywide master plan, Plan Salt Lake, adopted in 2015, contains sections that align with the
Northwest Master Plan vision. One of the guiding principles of that plan is to protect and enhance
existing parks, recreational facilities and trails allowing for modifications to enhance usability and
promote activity.
The City’s Major Street Plan, approved in 2018, which is part of the City’s Transportation Master Plan,
shows that the platted streets and alleys within Rosewood Park do not exist nor are they proposed for
the future. This suggests that these alleys and streets are not crucial to current or future transportation
goals.
These adopted plans emphasize the importance of recreational facilities and the ability to maintain and
improve the facilities to match City growth. This proposal will make the permitting process easier for
future improvements and will allow for a more efficient and flexible manner in which the City can
improve Rosewood Park.
Consideration 2: Lack of Connectivity
The streets and alleys dedicated in the Kinney and Gourlay’s Subdivision were planned to service the
parcels that were platted within the subdivision. However, Rosewood Park has been built in place of a
number of these parcels. Because of the existence of the park, the parcels will no longer be developed
as intended and the need for the streets and alleys no longer exist. The parcels that neighbor the park
to the south are now part of a number of amendments of the Rose Park Plat. Development in the area
did not follow the street pattern the plat created, leaving the dedicated streets and alleys disconnected
from a road network system. Rosewood Park currently has its own connections to the road network
system that do not coincide with any platted street or alley within the park, and thus, the platted streets
and alleys are not needed.
The parcels to the north of Rosewood Park are currently undeveloped. When development does occur
on these properties, it will be limited due to the parcels being zoned OS Open Space, but they will have
access to the road network system via 1200 W.
The alleys and streets within Rosewood Park are disconnected from any type of future development to
the east due to the I-15 freeway that abuts along the eastern edge of these properties, further decreasing
their need.
DISCUSSION:
The Kinney and Gourlay’s Subdivision was recorded in 1887 before the existence of the current
adopted master plans that effect future growth of the area. Since the recording of the plat, there has
been a stronger emphasis for recreational facilities for the growing number of residents. Rosewood
Park was built over these streets, alleys and parcels which was common in the past making their
existence unnecessary and a hindrance to the future improvements of the park. With Rosewood Park
in place along with the current Open Space zoning, there is an unlikeliness that the park will be
redeveloped and puts in question the likelihood of these streets and alleys ever being developed as
intended.
The public benefit of maintaining these dedicated streets and alleys in its current situation is close to
none because they only exist on paper and therefore, do not serve a transportation or public purpose.
That is especially relevant when considering that with the current development, these “paper streets”
have become obstacles to future improvement to Rosewood Park. Eliminating these dedicated streets
and alleys could help in fulfilling the goals of applicable master plans.
NEXT STEPS:
After the Planning Commission reviews the request, their recommendation will be forwarded to the
City Council for consideration. The City Council will make the final decision with respect to these
requests.

ATTACHMENT E: ANALYSIS OF STANDARDS – STREET
CLOSURE
In 1999, the City Council adopted a street closure policy that includes the following provisions:
Factor Analysis Finding
1. It is the policy of the City
Council to close public
streets and sell the
underlying property. The
Council does not close streets
when the action would deny
all access to other property.
The platted streets which were never
constructed do not provide access to
adjacent private property and do not
serve a broader connectivity function.
Due to the design of the park and the
surrounding development, the streets
as depicted in the Kinney and Gourlay’s
Subdivision Plat would not provide
connection to any established
development or right-of-way.
Complies
2. The general policy when
closing a street is to obtain
fair market value for the
land, whether the abutting
property is residential,
commercial or industrial.
This application was initiated in order
to consolidate Rosewood Park into one
parcel for ease of permitting for future
improvement projects to the park. No
property will be sold and will remain
under City ownership.
Complies
3. There should be sufficient
public policy reasons that
justify the sale and/or
closure of a public street and
it should be sufficiently
demonstrated by the
applicant that the sale and/or
closure of the street will
accomplish the stated public
policy reasons.
Adopted master plans take into
consideration the need for recreation
facilities and the ability to provide
improvements to existing facilities. As
discussed in the Key Considerations of
this staff report, the streets in the
Kinney and Gourlay’s Subdivision exist
as a platted streets, but not as a physical
streets. The platted streets, alleys and
parcels make the permitting process
difficult due to the need to pull permits
for each individual parcel when
improvement is required. The
permitting process can be simplified by
consolidating the parcel into one parcel.
The parcel cannot be consolidated until
the streets have been closed. A
simplified permitting process will allow
for a more streamlined and cost-
effective approach to improvement
projects; which will help achieve the
goals set forth by the adopted master
plans.
Complies
4. The City Council should
determine whether the
stated public policy reasons
outweigh alternatives to the

maintain the property as it currently
exists. However, this makes

closure of the street. and there is no public benefit since these
dedicated streets do not physically exist
and do not serve a transportation or
public purpose. Eliminating these
streets would allow for easier
improvement to occur once the
property is consolidated and help
achieve city goals.
ATTACHMENT F: ANALYSIS OF STANDARDS – ALLEY
VACATION
Salt Lake City Code, Section 14.52.020: Policy Considerations for Closure, VACATION
or Abandonment of City Owned Alleys
The city will not consider disposing of its interest in an alley, in whole or in part, unless it receives a
petition in writing which demonstrates that the disposition satisfies at least one of the following policy
considerations:
A. Lack of Use: The city’s legal interest in the property appears of record or is reflected on an
applicable plat; however, it is evident from an on-site inspection that the alley does not physically exist
or has been materially blocked in a way that renders it unusable as a public right-of-way.
B. Public Safety: The existence of the alley is substantially contributing to crime, unlawful activity
or unsafe conditions, public health problems, or blight in the surrounding area.
C. Urban Design: The continuation of the alley does not serve as a positive urban design element.
D. Community Purpose: The petitioners are proposing to restrict the general public from use of
the alley in favor of a community use, such as a neighborhood play area or garden.
Discussion: The applicant cites policy considerations A – Lack of Use, C – Urban Design and D –
Community Purpose in their narrative. The applicant states that the streets and alleys exist on the
Kinney and Gourlay’s Subdivision Plat but were never constructed and do not physically exist. In
addition, the argument is made that the existence of the streets and alleys, along with the many parcels
that exist along with the streets and alleys, create complications for project permitting that are costly
and time consuming to navigate. The streets and alleys are not needed for the design of the park and
hinder improvements efforts.
Finding: The proposed alley vacation complies with policy consideration A – Lack of Use and C – Urban
Design, as discussed in this staff report.
14.52.030B: Processing Petitions – Public Hearing and Recommendation from the Planning
Commission
Upon receipt of a complete petition, a public hearing shall be scheduled before the Planning
Commission to consider the proposed disposition of the City owned alley property. Following the
conclusion of the public hearing, the Planning Commission shall make a report and recommendation
to the City Council on the proposed disposition of the subject alley property. A positive
recommendation should include an analysis of the following factors:
Factor Rationale Finding
1. The City Police
Department, Fire
Department,
Transportation Division,
and all other relevant
City Departments and
Divisions have no
objection to the proposed
disposition of the
property;
No objections were received from City
Department review.
Complies
2. The petition meets at
least one of the policy
considerations stated
above;
Consideration A: Lack of Use
The platted streets and alleys within
Rosewood Park are disconnected from any
established road network system, do not
provide access to adjacent private property
and would not serve a broader connectivity
function. The City’s Transportation Master
Plan does not show proposals for these
roads or alleys and the deletion of these will
have no adverse effects to any future
development in the area.
Consideration C: Urban Design
Keeping the platted streets and alleys
would be a hindrance to urban design.
Because of the development that has
occurred around Rosewood Park, the
undeveloped streets and alleys have been
left disconnected, and would make it
difficult to develop the parcels as they
currently exist. These constraints most
likely would not create a cohesive design
with the current surrounding
development.
Consideration D: Community Purpose
The petitions align with adopted master
plans regarding improvement to public
recreation facilities by helping
improvement efforts within Rosewood
Park by simplifying the permitting process
through the removal of streets and alleys
which will allow for lot consolidation. With
Rosewood Park being one singular parcel,
permits will be simpler to obtain making
for more cost effective and time efficient
improvements to the park.
Complies
3. The petition must not
deny sole access or
required off-street
parking to any adjacent
property;
The petition will not have an impact with
accessing any surrounding property or
development of the subject area.
Complies
4. The petition will not
result in any property
being landlocked;
Landlocked parcels will be created by the
removal of the streets and alleys within
Rosewood Park. Because of this, a lot
consolidation will be required. Once the
consolidation is complete, the one
remaining parcel will have street frontage
along 1200 W.
Complies
5. The disposition of the
alley property will not
result in a use which is
otherwise contrary to the
policies of the City,
including applicable
master plans and other
adopted statements of
policy which address, but
which are not limited to,
mid-block walkways,
pedestrian paths, trails,
and alternative
transportation uses;
No pedestrian paths, trails or walkways or
any other alternative transportation use
will be affected by the disposition of the
alley property.
Complies
6. No opposing abutting
property owner intends
to build a garage
requiring access from the
property, or has made
application for a building
permit, or if such a
permit has been issued,
construction has been
completed within 12
months of issuance of the
building permit;
No opposing property owners have been
identified. No permits have been proposed
or issued for garages that require access
from the subject property.
Complies
7. The petition furthers the
City preference for
disposing of an entire
alley, rather than a small
segment of it; and
The entirety of all streets and alleys will be
disposed and no partial segments shall
remain.
Ordinance 54 of 1955 vacated the west line
of Mill Street to the west line of Marion
Street from the north line of 1100 N to the
north line of 1300 N, leaving segments of
alleys and streets remaining. These
petitions would complete the closure and
vacation process and remove all remaining
Complies
streets and alleys,
8. The alley is not necessary
for actual or potential
rear access to residences
or for accessory uses.
There are no residences within the subject
area.

approval for a new residential development at the above listed address. The proposal includes demolishing the
discontinued pool area on the site and subdividing the property into four (4) lots for a proposed construction of three
(3) single-family attached dwellings. The proposed project is subject to the following petitions:
a. Planned Development – Planned Development is requested to modify the required front yard setback, grade
changes greater than four feet (4’) within a required yard and required lot area from 3,000 square feet to approximate
lot area ranging between 2,000 and 2,500 square feet for the new lots. Case number PLNPCM2020-00230

property owner, is requesting a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the properties at 1301 and 1321 S. State Street
currently zoned CC (Corridor Commercial) to the FB-UN2 (Form Base Urban Neighborhood 2) zoning district. This
zoning amendment will also add this corner to other sites/corners in the FB-UN2 that allow buildings up to 65 feet in
height. The applicant feels that the intent of the FB-UN2 zoning district better aligns with the potential use of the
corner lot and the potential for a new mixed-use building (to replace the existing buildings on the parcels). The FB-
UN2 also has design standards that were created to reduce the impacts of increase height and density. The
properties are located within Council District 5, represented by Darin Mano. (Staff contact: Katia Pace at (801) 535-
