SUBJECT: Zoning Map Amendment at approximately 2333 W North Temple Street, Petition
PLNPCM2021-00915
STAFF CONTACT: Krissy Gilmore, Senior Planner, Kristina.Gilmore@slcgov.com, 385-535-
7780
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council follow the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to amend the zoning map to remove the property at 2333 W North Temple from the
Airport Flight Path Protection Overlay District Influence Zone A, described under City Code
21A.34.040.
BUDGET IMPACT: None.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall initiated a petition to amend the zoning map to remove
the property at 2333 W North Temple from the Airport Flight Path Protection Overlay District
Influence Zone A, described under City Code 21A.34.040. The property is currently occupied by
a commercial building, the Airport Inn, and associated parking. The desired result is to allow the
Airport Inn to operate a new model of extended-stay hotels as transitional housing to advance the
City’s overall goals related to homelessness. For specific information regarding the proposal,
please refer to the Planning Commission Staff Report.
The current hotel/motel use is permitted in the base TSA-MUEC-C zoning district and within the
Airport Influence Zone A. The longer-term goal is to be able to accept housing vouchers for

transitional housing to provide a more
predictable and stable option for those people
transitioning out of homelessness. An
extended stay motel is not eligible to accept
vouchers. The preferred path forward indicated
by the Department of Airports is to modify the
boundary of the Airport Overlay so that it
would not apply to this property. If adopted,
the nonprofit will switch their business model
and the hotel will be considered multi-family
housing, which is a permitted use in the TSA-
MUEC-C zoning district. It would also allow
them to offer other sorts of social services
because most social services that benefit the
residents of the facility are also permitted uses
in the TSA zoning district.
The result would allow the Airport Inn to
accommodate stays greater than 30 days as
transitional housing. The zoning code does not
include a land use that directly matches this
kind of supportive housing, whether
permanent, short term, or any time frame in
between those two. Under City Code,
units/rooms that are available for rental or
lease for periods of less than one month are
considered a hotel/motel, while dwellings that
are rented for periods of longer than one
month generally fall into a residential land use
and would prohibit the Airport Inn from
operating this model of transitional housing if
under the Airport Influence Zone A.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
• The Planning Division provided a 45-day comment period notice to the associated
community councils for the property, Poplar Grove and Jordan Meadows. The Westpointe
Community Council requested that the city attend one of their meetings to discuss the
proposal.
o The Westpointe Community Council provided a letter stating concern that the
proposed map amendment would set a precedence for future map amendments.
o No letter or other input was received from the Poplar Grove or Jordan Meadows
Community Council.
• Staff sent an early notification announcement of the project to all residents and property
owners living within 300 feet of the project site providing notice about the proposal and
information on how to give public input on the project on October 5, 2021.
• An online open house was held on the proposal from October 18th to November 30th.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Erin Mendenhall
Cc: Lisa Shaffer, Chief Administrative Officer; Blake Thomas, Department of Community
and Neighborhoods Director; Michaela Oktay, Deputy Planning Director; Bill Wyatt,
Executive Director Department of Airports; Brady Fredrickson, Planning Director,
Department of Airports
From: Nick Norris, Planning Director
Date: August 23, 2021
Re: Initiating a zoning amendment to amend the Airport Influence Zone Map.
The Planning Division would like to request that a zoning map amendment be initiated to update an
area of the Airport Influence Zone to support the implementation of the City’s adopted policies
related to assisting people experiencing homelessness. The Department of Airports has been
working with Planning to accommodate the development of a new model of transitional housing for
people experiencing homelessness by working with nonprofit organizations to refurbish and utilize
existing extended-stay hotels. The proposal would include amending the Airport Overlay Map to
remove a limited area from the Airport Influence Zone A. The desired result is to facilitate the
feasibility of sustaining the new model of extended-stay hotels as transitional housing, work within
the existing coordinated-entry program, and create the ability for operators of such extended-stay
hotels the ability to utilize additional funding to advance the City’s overall goals related to
homelessness. The facility will still meet all current sound attenuation requirements.
The process will include an engagement process recommended by Planning and led by the
Department of Airports, which will include the community and other interested parties. The
Planning Division will help coordinate outreach through the city’s Recognized Organizations. After
the proposal is vetted through the engagement process, the proposal will be presented to the
Planning Commission for a public hearing and transmitted to the City Council. The anticipated
timeline is approximately 60 days for the public engagement process and 30 days for the Planning
Commission. The timeline is subject to available workloads of staff participating on the project,
planning commission agenda process, and if any unforeseen issues arise as part of the engagement
process.
The proposal includes a text amendment and zoning map amendment to remove a small area
adjacent to 2400 West and south of North Temple from the Airport Influence Zone A, described
under City Code 21A.34.040 and as depicted in in the maps attached.
This memo includes a signature block to initiate the petition if that is the decided course of action. If
the decided course of action is to not initiate the application, the signature block should remain
l Page 2
blank. Please notify the Planning Division when the memo is signed or if the decision is made to not
initiate the petition.
Please contact me at ext. 6173 or nick.norris@slcgov.com if you have any questions. Thank you.
Concurrence to initiate the zoning text and map amendment petition as noted above.
