significant parcels of real property, is amended as follows:
2.58.040: SALE OF SIGNIFICANT PARCELS OF REAL PROPERTY; NOTICE AND
HEARING:
A.A significant parcel of real property owned by the City or any significant legal interest

hearing on the proposed conveyance as set forth herein.
B.Reasonable notice of the proposed conveyance shall include the following:
1. Notice of the proposed conveyance shall be mailed to all abutting property owners.
2. Notice of the proposed conveyance shall be delivered to the Office of the City Council,
posted in the Office of the City Recorder, delivered to a local media representative, and
posted on the City's website.
C.No significant parcel of City owned real property identified in section 2.58.035, including

12
2
Advisory Board, or the Parks, Natural Lands, Trails, and Urban Forestry Advisory Board.
D.In addition to the public hearing required above, the City Council may also request a
public hearing before the conveyance of the property. Any request for a hearing before the
City Council must be delivered to the Office of the Mayor no less than fifteen (15) days
after delivery of the notice to the Office of the City Council pursuant to subsection B2 of
this section. If no request for a hearing is made within that time period, the City Council
shall be deemed to have waived any right to request a hearing.
If a written call for hearing has been made by the City Council, the Mayor or his or her
designee shall attend the hearing to hear and consider comments upon proposals to convey
the property specified in the notice. The hearing shall take place before, after or in
conjunction with a regularly scheduled City Council meeting, as determined by the Mayor.
E.Any notice of a proposed conveyance of a significant parcel of City owned real property
shall specify the following:
1. A description of the property to be conveyed or encumbered;
2. The nature of the proposed conveyance or encumbrance, whether the property is to be
sold, traded or encumbered, including the nature of the conveyance if the property is to
be sold, or if a trade or lease of property is contemplated, a brief summary of the
proposed transaction;
3. Persons to whom interests are to be conveyed;
4. Any consideration tendered;
5. The name of the person, department or entity requesting such action;
6. The basis upon which the value of the interest has been determined by the City;

and comment upon the proposal.
F.The conveyance or encumbrance of a significant parcel of real property of the City may be
finalized:
1. By the Mayor, at his/her discretion following notice and any public hearings required
by this section; or
2.By the Mayor, if the transfer is revocable and the Mayor has determined that an
unanticipated combination of facts and conditions of pressing necessity has emerged
3
that requires that action be taken before a City Council hearing. Such conditions shall
not be deemed to arise unless it appears that delay from the notice or a City Council
hearing would produce:
a. Great or irreparable injury to persons seeking the conveyance or encumbrance, with
negligible impact upon City interests;
b. Serious detriment to the social or economic interest of the community as whole; or
3.Substantial economic loss to the City.
G.Any decision by the Mayor to forego the City Council hearing provisions of this section

4.The selling of burial rights in the Salt Lake City Cemetery; and

connection with utilities or safety equipment such as traffic signal poles. Any such
easement or use right must be primarily for the benefit of the City. With respect to open
space land under chapter 2.90 of this title, such easement or use right may be granted

SECTION 2. Section 2.90.070 of the Salt Lake City Code, relating to the removal of lands
from the open space lands inventory, is amended as follows:
2.90.070: REMOVAL OF LANDS FROM THE OPEN SPACE LANDS INVENTORY:

the open space lands inventory shall remain in the inventory in perpetuity unless: 1) they
