SUBJECT: Green Street Alley Vacation – PLNPCM2020-00903
STAFF CONTACT: Katia Pace, Principal Planner, katia.pace@slcgov.com (801) 535-6354
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council follow the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to approve an Ordinance to vacate the alley.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Nicholas Lumby, property owner residing at 1343 S Green
Street, is requesting Salt Lake City to vacate a “T” shaped alley adjacent to his property and
running between 1300 South and Harrison Avenue and Green Street and 700 East. The property
abutting this alley is zoned R-1/5,000 (Single-Family Residential District). The alley exists in
paper only and the abutting property owners have encroached the alley into their properties. UDOT
is an abutting property owner of the alley, it owns land in this block that was acquired when 700
East was expanded in the 1960s.
This alley was plated as part of the Marion Park Subdivision in 1890. In the early 1960s, 700
East was expanded and the homes on the east of this block were demolished to give way for the
road expansion. The alley was absorbed into the abutting properties to the west, but it was never
vacated. The issued was discovered recently when the applicant requested a building permit for a
garage on land that is part of the alley.

Proposed alley vacation – red line
Abutting property owners:
1. Gospel Grace Church (yellow
dotted line): 662, 664, 666 E 1300
South & 1319, 1325 S Green
Street
2. 1331 S Green Street
3. 1337 S Green Street
4. 1343 S Green Street (Petitioner)
5. 1347 S Green Street
6. 1351 S Green Street
7. 669 E Harrison Avenue
8. UDOT acquired land for
expansion of 700 East
According to Section 14.52.040 of Salt Lake City Code, the City’s method of disposition for a
vacated alley, that abuts property zoned for low density residential use, is to split the alley in half
and deed each respective half back to the abutting property owners.
The Gospel Grace Church property is within the R-1/5,000 (single-family residential), therefore
the alley abutting the church and the residential properties would be deeded and not sold.
According to the disposition method listed above, UDOT will receive half of the alley abutting
its property. That means that part of the property generally occupied by the west property
owners, will be owned by UDOT. UDOT has stated that it’s willing to give up its half portion of
the north/south alley. If the alley is vacated the property owners will work with Real Estate
Services and UDOT to exchange properties as needed.

Principal Planner Katia Pace reviewed the petition as outlined in the Staff Report. She stated that Staff
recommends a positive recommendation to City Council.
Commissioner Aimee Burrows asked for clarification on if the property owners will have to buy t he land
or if it will be deeded to them. Katia Pace stated that it will be deeded to them, based on single family
residential zoning. Commissioner Burrows stated that she remembers another case in which the property
owners had to purchase the land. Katia Pace stated that is the case for multifamily zoning districts or
commercial properties. Commissioner Burrows asked if encroachment is a reason for vacant use of the
alley. Katia Pace stated that in the past it functioned as an alley but since the demolition of the properties
on the east side for the expansion of 700 East, it no longer functioned as an alley. Commissioner Burrows
asked for clarification that the lack of use then caused the encroachment. Katia Pace stated that was
correct. Commissioner Burrows asked if all the property owners have signed onto the project. Katia Pace
stated that the applicant was looking for a building permit on top of the alley, and at that moment found
the property was not theirs but the city’s property. She also stated that the five property owners have
signed the form and the approval of the church for this application.
Nicholas Lumby stated that he did apply for the application when he found out the land was not part of
his property. He stated that one of his neighbors had tried to get the alley vacated before in the past.

zoned CB (Community Business). This type of project must be reviewed as a Planned Development as
four of the buildings would not have frontage on a public street. The subject property is located within
Council District 2, represented by Alejandro Puy. (Staff contact: Eric Daems at 801-535-

Salt Lake City Planning Commission February 23, 2022 Page 5
Senior Planner Eric Daems reviewed the petition as outlined in the staff report. He stated that Staff
recommends approval with the condition listed in the staff report.
Commissioner Mike Christensen asked how many housing units could be built on this property. Eric
Daems stated that there is not a standard set yet, but it is based off setback, building height, and parking.
John Anderson stated that as the building grows larger it will have to come to the planning commission
to go through design review.
Pierre Langue stated he is the architect on the project. He stated that they worked based off the area,
and the density of the area is not enough demand for a retail space. He stated they developed more
streets to allow access. He also stated that the public amenities with this project will be beneficial for
people in the area. Pierre Langue stated that they implemented a lot of guest parking.
PUBLIC HEARING
Vice-Chairperson Maurine Bachman opened the public hearing.

• Kristen Prosser stated her disapproval for the project.
• Pachuco Lautaro stated his disapproval for the project.
• Susie Estrada stated her disapproval for the project.

Vice-Chairperson Maurine Bachman closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Brenda Scheer stated her empathy for the public and their comments. She did state that
the Planning Commission cannot consider gentrification, traffic, who benefits, or what the community
needs are in their decision. She stated that they must base their decision on if it matches the criteria.
Commissioner Aimee Burrows stated that she has read the public comments and that she shares
concerns that the community garden will not replace the grocery store as a food resource. She stated
that the planning commission cannot require a grocery store.

review in accordance with adopted standards and ordinances.
Commissioner Brenda Scheer seconded the motion. Commissioners Andra Ghent, Jon Lee,
Andres Paredes, Mike Christensen, Brenda Scheer, Adrienne Bell, and Aimee Burrows all voted
“yes”. The motion passed unanimously.

PLNPCM2021-00835
The property is located within Council District 4, represented by Ana Valdemoros. (Staff Contact: Laura
Bandara at 801-535-6188 or laura.bandara@slcgov.com)
Urban Designer Laura Bandara reviewed the petition as outlined in the Staff Report. She stated that Staff
recommends approval with the conditions listed in the staff report.
Commissioner Bell asked about the midblock walkway and where the second half of it is proposed. Staff
clarified where it would be located to the south and the developer of that property would be responsible
for its creation.
Commissioner Scheer asked what concessions were being provided for no open space. Staff clarified
that it would be the midblock walkway and street engagement, in compliance with the Downtown Plan.
The applicant James Alfandre reviewed the work that Urban Alfandre have done to integrate into their
neighborhood. He stated that they wish to increase housing stock in the Granary District and provide a
walkway and missing or mid-rise housing and small local service retail to help make the granary a
complete neighborhood. He reviewed the proposed project and why they are requesting the reduced
setbacks and shared examples from the area that are similar to their request.
Commissioner Bell asked if the applicant was comfortable with the conditions in the staff report. The
applicant stated that they were committed to those conditions.
Commissioner Scheer asked if the applicant they had presented their project to the community councils.
The applicant stated that they presented to the local community councils back on January 10th and were
only asked what the City regulations were on façade length. Commissioner Scheer asked if the applicant
went before the community councils in advance to get their input on the design of the project. The
applicant stated that they went to the community council meeting as previously mentioned.
Salt Lake City Planning Commission February 23, 2022 Page 7
Commissioner Ghent asked for clarification on what was being asked for by the applicant versus what is
being asked for by the community councils since there is so much dialog in the emails that came in after
the staff report was completed and she got lost in the back and forth. She shared her concern about the
back and forth and lack of support from the Community Councils. The applicant said that they were also
confused because the Councils did not bring up their concerns during the joint Community Council
meeting.
Commissioner Burrows asked if the trees that they are adding are already required. The applicant
confirmed that the trees are required. He stated that they are asking for ground floor commercial space
in lieu of the 10-foot landscaping buffer which is not required by zoning. He said that they want to create
better street engagement and pedestrian experience.
Commissioner Ghent asked for clarification on whether the applicant is asking for less vegetation than
what code requires. The applicant said that is correct. Commissioner Ghent asked if the vegetation could
be made up by adding it to the roof or another location. The applicant stated that is something that they
would be wiling to look into.
Planning Manager John Anderson clarified to the Commission that while it wouldn’t meet the minimum
standard of landscaping the Commission could decide if that was a good trade, they could make that
decision through this process.
Commissioner Jon Lee stated that he felt it was a good compromise and didn’t feel more greenery should
be added when we are in a water shortage. He explained his view of the setback creating better street
engagement.
Commissioner Christensen agreed with Jon Lee.
PUBLIC HEARING
Commissioner Bachman opened the public hearing.
• Amy Hawkins – Chair Ballpark Community Council – has serious concerns about the proposal.
They want to see more green space.
• Emailed comment was read into the record from Geoffrey S. Kaessner – In favor of the petition
Seeing that no one else wished to speak, Commissioner Bachman closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Ghent says she agrees that the setbacks are not useful. She has concerns of creating a
heat island. She wondered if a rooftop garden would create a significant cost to the developer and how
much it would raise the rents. The applicant stated that he didn’t know off the top of his head what it
would cost.
Commissioner Burrows asked what the Commission thought of the tabling the item to give them a chance
to talk to the Community Councils and planning to build something the Commission would approve.
Commissioner Scheer stated her concern regarding what the community is getting in exchange for less
green space.
Planning Manager John Anderson interjected that he wanted the Commissioners to be cautious using
the terms “What are we getting?”, stating that they need to look at the project and say whether or not it
meets the standards.
Salt Lake City Planning Commission February 23, 2022 Page 8
Planning Manager Kelsey Lindquist reminded the Commission that other design review applications have
come before the Planning Commission and have met design review standards without including a
commercial component on the ground floor.
Commissioner Burrows felt like the design was not finished.
Commissioner Lee says this is an opportunity to decide as to whether this is a better use of the space.
He feels there are amenities be added that would be a good addition to the neighborhood.
Commissioner Burrows stated that she is concerned because three Community Councils had the concern
of losing that green space, not just one person.
Commission Scheer stated that she agrees with Jon Lee in regard to the 10-foot setback but does not
want all of the open space requirements to be eliminated. She also stated that she is hoping for a better
division of the frontage. She would like to see a little garden in the middle or a park in the back of the
walkway.
Commissioner Ghent said that plants adapted to the environment could be planted. She doesn’t feel she
has enough experience to gauge whether the setbacks and added vegetation would improve air quality.
Urban Designer Laura Bandara let the Commission know that the 700 South Façade is north facing so it
will be in the shade much of the year. She also clarified that the minimum landscaping required by code
is 1650 square feet in the landscape yard area if they did it to code.
Commissioner Burrows said that they are not satisfied with the current design review the way it is
proposed. She would like to make a motion to table.
MOTION
Commissioner Aimee Burrows motioned to table the petition asking that the applicant explore
solutions on the setbacks and landscaping and vegetation relief with input from the public.
Planning Manager Kelsey Lindquist asked for clarification on the motion and whether the
Commission is expecting the applicant to return to the community councils. The commission
clarified that was not an expectation of the applicant.
Commissioner Mike Christensen seconded the motion. Commissioner Brenda Scheer, Aimee
Burrows, Andra Ghent, Mike Christensen, and Andres Paredes voted “yes”. Commissioner Jon
Lee and Adrienne Bell voted “no”. The motion to table passed with 2 “no” and 5 “yes” votes.
Hoyt Place Zoning Map Amendment at approximately 858 W & 860 W Hoyt Place - Bert Holland,
representing Hoyt Place Development LLC, is requesting a zoning map amendment for the properties
located at the above-stated address. The proposal would rezone the properties from R-1/5,000 Single
Family Residential to SR-3 Special Development Pattern Residential District. The two lots are
approximately .39 acres or 16,988 square feet. Future development plans were not submitted with this
application. The property is located within Council District 2, represented by Alejandro Puy. (Staff

Salt Lake City Planning Commission February 23, 2022 Page 9
Principal Planner Amanda Roman reviewed the petition as outlined in the Staff Report. She stated that
Staff recommends a positive recommendation to City Council.
Commissioner Aimee Burrows asked if this rezone would prevent demolition of homes. Amanda Roman
clarified that when it is brought to City Council, the applicant will enter into a development agreement with
the city that will require them to maintain at least the same number of housing units. Amanda Roman
also stated that she is not sure if that agreement will state that they cannot demolish and then rebuild the
existing structures, but the applicant will be tied into their “replacement” housing choice as outlined in
their housing mitigation plan. Aimee Burrows asked for clarification on if they will not necessarily be
required to keep the two old existing houses. Amanda Roman stated that she doesn’t believe so. John
Anderson stated that it is hard to require that outside of the historic districts.
Bert Holland stated that he has already begun renovation and has families eager to move in. He also
stated that he has already attracted a high number of diverse buyers seeking single-family workforce
housing.
PUBLIC HEARING
Vice-Chair Maurine Bachman opened the public hearing.
Seeing that no one wished to speak, Vice-Chair Maurine Bachman closed the public hearing.
MOTION
Commissioner Brenda Scheer stated, Based on the information in the staff report, the information
presented, and the input received during the public hearing, I move that the Planning Commission
forward a positive recommendation to the City Council to approve PLNPCM2021-01073.
Commissioner Mike Christensen seconded the motion. Commissioners Andra Ghent, Jon Lee,
Andres Paredes, Mike Christensen, Brenda Scheer, Adrienne Bell, and Aimee Burrows all voted
“yes”. The motion passed unanimously.
Historic Carriage House Zoning Text Amendment – Stephen Pace, the applicant, is requesting a
zoning text amendment to permit the restoration or reconstruction of a historic carriage house for the
purposes of creating a dwelling unit. The dwelling unit, located within the reconstructed or restored
historic carriage house, would not be required to meet density, lot coverage, setbacks of the applicable
base zoning district, or the accessory structure footprint or height limitations. The proposed language
requires eligible properties to be both a Salt Lake City Landmark and listed as a National Register Site
of Historic Places and located in one of the following zoning districts: RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-
Family Residential), RO (Residential Office), I (Institutional) or SR-1A (Special Development Pattern
Residential). (Staff contact: Kelsey Lindquist at 385-226-7227 or kelsey.lindquist@slcgov.com) Case
number PLNPCM2020-00106
Planning Manager Kelsey Lindquist reviewed the petition as outlined in the Staff Report. She stated that
Staff recommends denial of the proposal because it does not meet the standards. She reviewed the text
amendment background stating that the proposal originally went before the Historic Landmark
Commission and received a negative recommendation. She shared some of the conflicts including the
existing ADU ordinance which requires an owner occupancy requirement, but the applicant does not live
on site. She listed other compliance issues as all principal structures require street frontage, lot
minimums, and lot and bulk requirements. She stated that Staff has tried to work with the applicant on
language solutions but was ultimately unsuccessful. Staff forwarded the amendment to the Historic
Landmark Commission for review to receive direction for the applicant on the proposed language, but
Salt Lake City Planning Commission February 23, 2022 Page 10
the Commission forwarded a negative recommendation against the proposal. She stated that the HLC
did not discuss potential solutions to improve the language. She said that the applicant, since going
before the HLC in July of 2020, has yet to put the proposed language in an ordinance format, address
Staff concerns about enforceability and administration, and requested to continue to the planning
commission for recommendation to the City Council. She reviewed the criteria that included in the
ordinance format as: purpose statement, definition of terms, applicability, process, and standards/criteria.
She noted that the existing language does not include much of the criteria which is crucial for Staff and
City Council. She reviewed the purpose of the text amendment and incentive to the text amendment. She
reviewed the other eligible properties that the text amendment could affect.
The applicant Stephen Pace shared a photo slide of the Beer estate. He stated, “Just above the left
center of the photograph is the white topped buildings or carriage house and a 30-year-old older building
referred to as the harness shop from 1867 you can see from the photograph that there I guess were no
drones or aerial photographs being taken in salt lake but you can date it you know very securely. The city
and county building is finished on the upper left-hand corner The catholic cathedral is under construction
in the upper middle of the picture and so on so. If we could go one more okay this is working this is the
block that's under this is the block that's under consideration we heard our stuff earlier in the evening that
about the problems with people misunderstanding alleyways in the avenues this block is an excellent
example if you look down on the lower right hand corner at property 225 of third avenue you can see that
there's about six feet of that house that is on the neighbor's property and then if you look at 223 fourth
avenue there's about a similar six feet of that house but or that apartment building that is on 225's property
and the same thing with 217 and so on now these are not maps are not absolutely accurate but I had the
properties surveyed and I know they're darn close if you go up to 222 which is the carriage house address
you can see that there's a white roof building almost dead center in the photograph that I guess I own
about six feet of that neighbor's garage and the whopper is if you go up to the northwest corner 4th
avenue and a street you can see a under some trees there is a fake looking anyway carriage house built
in 1990 with the Salt Lake City building permit where Salt Lake City gave the builder permission to just
take the city land so about two-thirds of the garage there on the corner of that lot does not belong to the
belongs to Salt Lake City and it was given away. I raised that issue with the city saying well if you're
willing to part with that ground I’d like to get a few hundred feet can I do that oh no and the city the chief
of staff then decided that they were going to start sending out bills to the people that owned that carriage
house for a couple thousand dollars that take carriage house a couple of thousand dollars a year and I
said you don't want to do that that's a hornet's nest and they sent out the first set of bills and then they
chickened out they did not have the they just canceled the bills and decided that well we'll go we'll just
give away the property because of our mistake so on the next page then this is the beer mansion the
photograph that you were shown earlier by Miss Lindquist is about a 500 foot footprint of image of the
carriage house or I'm sorry of the harness shop house which has nothing to do with the you know pretty
imposing structure you can see there the cladding designed to serve the or cladding designed together
with the carriage house to serve the William Beer family next slide these two buildings then the one in
front outlined in red is the harness shop house about just about exactly 500 square feet of footprint and
behind it outlined in blue is the carriage house as it was built in and this is the 1905 photo next one please
so to give you a feeling for what that looks like if you take t he 222 fourth avenue this is just about dead
center in the photograph or in the map the Sanborn Fire Map you can see a square darkish building yeah
that has if well an analogy would be that if you were looking if you were taking god's view of the
Washington monument looking down on the Washington monument you would see almost exactly that
same profile a pyramid top that the only way you can get a building shaped like that fire like the fire map
shows is for a ride a pyramid but instead of sitting on a 500 foot limestone base I believe it is for the
Washington monument it's only on a 10-foot brick base so then we scanned that into the go ahead from
the tower on 8th street and 6th avenue and so here is what the carriage house behind once again behind
the harness shop house looks like in you know to within probably an inch maybe an inch and a half of
resolution there's enough photographic evidence of remaining materials on site that we basically know
Salt Lake City Planning Commission February 23, 2022 Page 11
that what the building looked like was a 10 foot brick or a 10 foot high 35 foot wide brick cube with a
pyramid on top of it and it's a right angle pyramid with all the faces looking to look the same now for some
context most of what we talked about with the historic landmarks commission I had assumed an error
that they were people a little closer to their high school geometry than they evidently were and that they
would understand what we were proposing it's the Washington monument with a pyramid and a drip edge
on it and that's what we're proposing to build or to rebuild and it's a design that is I believe about 4 500
years old it ain't new Greeks had it the Egyptians have it it's been around for a long time we got a lot of
pushback from the landmarks commission with people saying that your design is speculative it's
conjectural you don't know what the building looked like that was probably the biggest single thing we
talked about in the landmarks commission hearing it turns out though that with the stuff that miss Lindquist
has published last week the mention of concept of improper design conjectural design and so on that's
all banished that's all gone someplace else so the city doesn't so what the main thing the city believed or
that the landmark commission believed just was not true and it's disappeared from the record.”
Vice-Chair Bachman interject to let the applicant know that he had one minute of presentation time
remaining.
The applicant stated “Okay well let's see is there um we're looking here if I just let me summarize it let's
go to the last page okay let's look at this one I looked at four almost 400 dwelling units that have gone
through landmark sites since January 2019 actually they went back a year past that so that's four years
worth of data that produced 111 applications for dwelling unit review the pages of text that generated was
just under eight thousand now the champion in terms of pages that were submitted to the landmarks
commission is the beer carriage house which has 179 pages of stuff to go through the winner and still
champion based on the planning commission submission is that it's now grown to 187.”
Vice-Chair Bachman asked Mr. Pace to wrap up his presentation.
Mr. Pace stated, “well yeah what I'd like to do would be to come back and talk since I’ve got 187 pages
that I've got a report on here and we only talked about three pages three of those pages at the landmarks
mission hearing I would like to be rescheduled to give to do justice to this and talk about what we've
proposed what we haven't proposed and what the city has the planning staff has substituted for
it's ill-considered and withdrawn older proposals.”
Vice-Chair Bachman asked Mr. Pace if he would like to withdraw his application.
Mr. Pace said no.
Vice-Chair Bachman asked if the Commissioners had any questions for Mr. Pace.
Commissioner Scheer asked if Mr. Pace understood that the text amendment that he was proposing
would only affect him and a few other properties. The applicant stated yes it would affect 4 other
properties. Commissioner Scheer stated that the text amendment which he has submitted has some
deficiencies. She stated that the slides of the property that Mr. Pace shared had nothing to do with the
text amendment he was requesting.
PUBLIC HEARING
Vice-Chair Bachman opened the public hearing.
Seeing that no one wished to speak, Vice-Chair Bachman closed the public hearing.

APPLICABLE LAND USE REGULATIONS: Utah State Code, Section 10-9a-204 and 10-9a-609.5,
Chapters 2.58 and 14.52 of Salt Lake City Municipal Code
REQUEST: Nicholas Lumby, property owner residing at 1343 S Green Street, is requesting Salt Lake City
to vacate a “T” shaped alley adjacent to her property and running between 1300 South and Harrison Avenue
and Green Street and 700 East. The property abutting this alley is zoned R-1/5,000 (Single-Family Residential
District). The alley exists in paper only and the abutting property owners have absorbed the alley into their
properties. UDOT is an abutting property owner of the alley, it owns land in this block that was acquired when
700 East was expanded in the 1960s.
An alley vacation means that Salt Lake City vacates its interest in the alley as City property. It deeds the
property back to the abutting property owners if the abutting property is zoned for low density residential
use.
RECOMMENDATION: Based on the findings and analysis in this staff report, Planning Staff finds that
the proposal meets the criteria for alley vacations, and therefore recommends that the Planning Commission
forward a favorable recommendation to the mayor to declare the alley surplus property and for the City
Council to vacate the alley with the following condition:
1.That the alley is deeded the entire 10-foot width to the west abutting property owners.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION & BACKGROUND:
This alley was plated as part of the Marion Park
Subdivision in 1890. In the early 1960s, 700 East was
expanded and the homes on the east of this block were
demolished to give way for the road expansion. The
alley was absorbed into the abutting properties to the
west, but it was never vacated. The issued was
discovered recently when the applicant requested a
building permit for a garage on land that is part of the
alley.

The property belonging to UDOT is being proposed to become the Harrison Garden, a community garden
sponsored by Wasatch Community Gardens. This group is working with SLC Engineering Department, and
the plans are to have the garden started by Spring of this year.

KEY ISSUES:
The following key issues were identified:
Issue 1: Alley Vacation Request
The applicant originally requested that only the portion of the alley abutting the properties between
1331 S Green Street and 669 E Harrison Avenue be vacated. However, the portion of the alley abutting
the Gospel Grace Church presented a similar situation, where the alley has been absorbed into the
property. The Gospel Grace Church has agreed to be included along with the proposed alley vacation.
Since the homes in the east half of the block were demolished, the alley stopped having a purpose or use. The
properties on the west side of the block have absorbed the alley into their properties. Visually there is no
alley.
The alley property is not useful as a public right-of-way. The request satisfies policy consideration, “Lack of
Use”, as required by Section 14.52.02 of the Salt Lake City Code.
Issue 2: Alley Ownership
First there was a question on the ownership of the alley, whether the alley belonged to Salt Lake City or
UDOT. After staff received a drawing from UDOT (see Attachment C), it was confirmed that the alley was
never part of the right-of-way acquired by UDOT and therefore the alley still belongs to Salt Lake City. Also,
the applicant provided a survey of their property that shows the rear of their property as being a 10-foot alley
(see Attachment B).
Survey of 1343 S Green Street showing the alley in blue

Issue 3: Alley Disposition
According to Section 14.54.040 of Salt Lake City Code,
the City’s method of disposition for a vacated alley, that
abuts property zoned for low density residential use, is to
split the alley in half and deed each respective half back
to the abutting property owners. The Gospel Grace
Church property is within the R-1/5,000 (single-family
residential), therefore the alley abutting the church and
the residential properties would be deeded and not sold.
Since UDOT abuts part of the alley, UDOT is eligible for
their half of the alley. Staff got confirmation that UDOT
is willing to give up the right to acquire its half portion of
the alley except for the northeast horizontal portion of
the “T” shape on the eastern portion of the alley which
UDOT might be interested.
It’s important that UDOT not request to acquire half of
the alley because that would cause the property owners
to move their fences and some accessory structures that
have been in place for decades as the residential
properties absorbed the entire 10 feet of alley right of
way.
DISCUSSION:
The alley vacation has been reviewed against the
standards for alley vacations located in Attachment D. In
compliance with the applicable policies, the alley is not
being used as a public alley and the vacation is supported
by all the adjacent property owners. Further, City
policies and the relevant Master Plan do not include any
policies that would oppose the vacation of this alley.
NEXT STEPS:
Chapter 14.52 of the Salt Lake City Code regulates the
disposition of City owned alleys. Once the Planning
Commission has reviewed the request, their
recommendation is forwarded to the City Council for
consideration. The City Council has final decision
authority with respect to alley vacations.

Re: Request to Vacate Alley
Dear Salt Lake City Council, and Salt Lake Planning Officials,
We are writing to you to request the vacation of the alley segment that runs north-south at
approximately 676 East from approximately 1316 South to Harrison Avenue {1370 South). The
alley measurements are approximately, 305' x 10-15'. Please refer to the attached Sidwell map
(page 16-08-31) on p.4 of this document, for locations.
Reasons for this request include:
• We are the owners of the parcel 16-08-357-008-0000 immediately to the west of the
alley Lot numbers N 8 1/3 FT OF LOT 6 & ALL LOT 7 BLK 1 MARION PARK-the alley
vacation will clean up the ownership of the strip of vacant land that has been assumed
by the property owners.
• The alley has been vacant for many years (50+). Maintenance has been taken care of the
alley by the adjacent property owners.
• Vacating the alley will not affect any of the properties along the line, nor will this be
detrimental to the public as it is not accessed by traffic.
• Vacating the alley could accommodate any future construction of structures by the
abutting property owners including a 199 ft2 storage shed currently under construction
by the petitioner.
Assumptions
• It is assumed that the alley running east-west at approximately 1316 South from 661
East to 676 East has previously been vacated as the Gospel Grace Church parking lot is
located there.
• It is assumed that the alley running north-south from 1300 South to 1316 South at
approximately 676 East has been previously vacated as the Gospel Grace Church
building is built across the potential alley location.
Four other property owners abutting the alley include:
• Rance Wilkins

Diana,
Salt Lake City Planning Division is responding to a request to vacate an alley that
runs north-south between 1300 South and Harrison Avenue (1370 South) and
between Green Street and 700 East. This alley appears to be owned by UDOT. SLC
Planning needs confirmation from UDOT that the alley is own by UDOT, or not.
This confirmation is needed because SLC would not have the authority to vacate
the alley if the property belongs to UDOT.
The request comes from the owners of the parcel 16-08-357-008-0000, or 1343 S.
Green Street, a property immediately to the west of the alley. The reason for the
request is that the alley was assumed to be vacated and the property owners
abutting the alley have incorporated the alley into their properties.
I’m not sure who to contact at UDOT to give me this information. If you are not
the person I need to contact, please let me know who that person would be. Also, it
would really be helpful to know what is the process to request UDOT for the
alley/property vacation and possible purchase.
I’ve attached some additional information, please let me know if you have any
questions.

I’m sending you a map of the location of the alley and I have a question for you: is UDOT’s
interest on the horizontal portion of the yellow ‘T’ on the map? I’m pretty sure that the
Planning Commission and City Council will ask me that and I want to be able to give them
an answer.
Thank you so much for your help.

Katia,
Apologies for the delay in this response. The only area that UDOT would be interested in
would be the eastern portion of the T section at the north end. There is currently a study
underway to provide an improved active transportation facility along 700 East and this was
the only area that was concerning. Thanks and let me know what you need from my group
moving forward.

ATTACHMENT D: ANALYSIS OF STANDARDS
SPECIFIC ZONING DISTRICT PURPOSE STATEMENTS
21A.24.070 R-1/5000 Single Family Residential District
The purpose of the R-1/5,000 single-family residential district is to provide for conventional single-family
residential neighborhoods on lots not less than five thousand (5,000) square feet in size. This district is
appropriate in areas of the city as identified in the applicable community master plan. Uses are intended to be
compatible with the existing scale and intensity of the neighborhood. The standards for the district are
intended to provide for safe and comfortable places to live and play, promote sustainable and compatible
development patterns and to preserve the existing character of the neighborhood.
RELATED MASTER PLAN ITEMS
Central Community Master Plan, adopted 2005
The plan does not address alley vacations.
On the Liberty neighborhood planning area section of the plan under the Streets and Circulation it says:
• Improve the linear parkway along the west side of 700 East.
Plan Salt Lake, adopted 2015
GUIDING PRINCIPLE/A beautiful city that is people focused.
• Promote increased connectivity through mid-block connections.
Salt Lake City Code, Section 14.52: Disposition of City Owned Alleys
Chapter 14.52 of the Salt Lake City Code regulates the disposition of City owned alleys. When evaluating
requests to vacate public alleys, the City considers whether or not the continued use of the property as a
public alley is in the City’s best interest. Once the Planning Commission has reviewed the request, their
recommendation is forwarded to the City Council for consideration. The City Council has final decision
authority with respect to alley vacations.
Section 14.52.020:
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:
Factor Finding Rationale
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 onsite
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, unsafe
conditions, public health
Complies - The
alley property is
not useful as a
public right-of-
way. The request
satisfies one of the
policy
considerations as
required by
Section 14.52.02 of
the Salt Lake City
Code.
Since the homes in the east half of the block were
demolished, the alley stopped having a purpose or use. The
properties on the west side of the block have absorbed the
alley into their properties. Visually there is no alley.
The proposed vacation satisfies consideration A- Lack of
Use. The alley vacation would not interfere with access to
the other abutting properties.
The vacated alley would be compatible with surrounding
development.
24
problems, or blight in the
surrounding area;
C. Urban Design: The
continuation of the alley does
not serve as a positive urban
design element; or
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.
Section 14.52.030B:
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 Finding Rationale
1. The city police department, fire
department, transportation division,
and all other relevant city
departments and divisions have no
reasonable objection to the proposed
disposition of the property;
Complies Staff requested input from appropriate City Departments
and Divisions. Engineering opposes the proposed alley
vacation for the following reasons:
• Per State code, vacating the alley will give ownership
of west ½ of the alley to the property owners and the
east ½ half to UDOT (on the segment #8 running
parallel to 700 East).
• The adjacent property owner’s illegal encroachment
into the alley should not be the basis for the
vacation.
• There should be a community benefit due to the
vacation.
Staff addressed one of the concerns by requesting UDOT
to concede its interest on their half of the alley (except
on the northeast portion of the horizontal portion of the
“T” shaped alley). Furthermore, the encroachment is not
the reason for the alley vacation, it’s the “Lack of Use”
that is explained above and it satisfies the consideration
for the alley vacation.
2. The petition meets at least one of
the policy considerations stated
above;
Complies The proposed alley vacation satisfies the “Lack of Use”
policy consideration of 14.52.020. See the discussion
and findings on the previous page.
3. Granting the petition will not deny
sole access or required off street
parking to any property adjacent to
the alley;
Complies The alley is not being used as an alley and has been
absorbed by the abutting property owners. The property at
1351 S Green St does not have a garage, however, there is
room for a parking pad on the side of the home, but there is
no driveway from the street that can be used to access this
potential parking space.
25
The alley vacation will not deny access or required off
street parking to any of the abutting property owners.
4. Granting the petition will not
result in any property being
landlocked;
Complies All properties have street access and will not be landlocked
if the alley is vacated.
5. Granting the petition will not
result in a use of the alley property
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;
Complies Plan Salt Lake promotes increased connectivity through
mid-block connections. However, this alley is not
needed for a midblock connection.
The Central City Community Master Plan calls for the
linear parkway along the west side of 700 East to be
improved. The proposed community garden on the
property abutting the alley is an improvement to the
parkway. The alley vacation will not have an impact on the
proposal.
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 twelve (12)
months of issuance of the building
permit;
Complies There are no opposing abutting property owners.
7. The petition furthers the city
preference for disposing of an entire
alley, rather than a small segment of
it; and
Complies The proposed alley would be disposed in its entirety.
8. The alley property is not necessary
for actual or potential rear access to
residences or for accessory uses.
Complies The alley is not being used as an alley and has been
absorbed by the abutting property owners. The property at
1351 S Green St does not have a garage, however, there is
room for a parking pad on the side of the home, but there is
no driveway from the street that can be used to access this
potential parking space.
Section 14.52.040:
If the alley property abuts properties which are zoned for low density residential use, the alley will merely be
vacated. For the purposes of this section, "Low Density Residential Use" shall mean properties which are
zoned for single-family, duplex, or twin home residential uses.
The Planning Commission must also make a recommendation to the mayor regarding the disposition of the
property. If the Commission recommends that the alley property be declared surplus, the property should be
disposed of according to Section 2.58 City-Owned Real Property of the Salt Lake City Code.
Finding: The abutting properties are zoned R-1/5,000 (Single Family Residential), therefore the alley
would simply be vacated split in half and deeded to the abutting property owners.
