2157 S. Lincoln Street Zoning Map Amendment
STAFF CONTACT: Lex Traughber, Senior Planner
(801) 535-6184 or lex.traughber@slcgov.com
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council amend the zoning map as recommended by the
Planning Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Mark Isaac, representing the property owner, proposes to
amend the zoning map to change the zoning for the 0.7 acre parcel located at approximately
2157 S. Lincoln Street from RB (Residential Business District) to C-SHBD2 (Sugar House
Business District) in its entirety. The parcel is currently occupied by a Victorian mansion used
as an office building, and the applicant intends to retain the mansion as part of the proposal. This
zoning map amendment change will facilitate construction of a new multi-family residential
development on a portion of the parcel. The zoning map amendment is consistent with the future
land use designation for the property as outlined in the Sugar House Master Plan.

The Planning Commission reviewed the request at a public hearing on July 26, 2023. The
commission determined the request met the standards for a zoning map amendment. The
commission voted to forward a positive recommendation to City Council to amend the zoning
map from RB to C-SHBD2, with the following two conditions:
1.Petitioner shall enter into a development agreement to guarantee the preservation of the existing
Victorian mansion currently located on the 2157 S. Lincoln Street parcel; and
2.Petitioner shall increase the width of the sidewalk to extend it to the curb abutting the parcels
that are the subject of Petitioner’s design review application (Petition No. PLNPCM2023-
00092).
To clarify these conditions, Planning Staff recommended the first condition because the mansion
is not in a local historic district nor is it an individually listed site, and therefore demolition is not
regulated and it could potentially be torn down. Retention of the mansion has always been
something that was presented to the community by the developer as an amenity of the overall
project and the development agreement would ensure retention.
The second condition was added by the Planning Commission based on public comment at the
public hearing. Section 21A.26.060(N) of the zoning ordinance addressed sidewalk width and
calls for 10’ sidewalks in the C-SHBD zones. This section of code goes on to say that
modifications to this requirement may be approved by the planning director if in compliance
with the adopted "Sugar House Circulation and Streetscape Amenities Plan" or its successor. The
Sugar House Master Plan (Business District Design Guideline Handbook – page 20) refers to 8’
sidewalks in high traffic areas and 6’ sidewalks in low traffic areas. In addition, the Sugar House
Business District Circulation and Amenities plan looks at sidewalk widths along 2100 South,
Highland Drive/1100 East & McClelland/1100 East. The associated McClelland map shows the
corridor that is close to this project site and calls for 5-8’ sidewalks.
The applicant proposed a mix of sidewalk widths of 5-7’ depending on location. Given the
residential nature of this and surrounding development, Planning Staff, after consulting with the
Planning Director, supported the applicant’s proposal of 5-7’ wide sidewalks as being
appropriate when considered with the tree lined parkway between the curb and the sidewalk.
The Planning Commission disagreed with this assertion and stipulated a condition that the
sidewalk extend to the back of the curb to effectively increase the sidewalk width.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
●Early Notification – Notification of the proposal was sent to all property owners and
tenants located within 300 feet of the subject parcels on June 26, 2023. In addition, the
Sugar House Community Council and the Sugar House Chamber of Commerce were also
provided notification on May 15, 2023.
●Sugar House Community Council – The applicant presented and discussed the proposal
to rezone the property at the Sugar House Community Council meeting on June 7, 2023.
Planning Staff was in attendance.
●Planning Commission Meeting – On July 26, 2023, the Planning Commission held a
public hearing regarding the proposed zoning map amendment. The Planning Commission
voted to forward a positive recommendation regarding the proposal on to the City Council for
decision.

Salt Lake City, UT 84101
385-273-3888
dwelldesignstudio.com
Rezoning Amendment
Our Statement:
We are requesting a zoning amendment of the parcel located on the corner of Lincoln and Elm,
currently zoned RB to CSHBD2. Granting this request will allow us to achieve and promote a more
walkable and integrated community, with higher density compatible with the envisioned master plan
for the Sugar House Business District that currently neighbors this parcel on multiple sides.
Our Purpose:
“A dance of old and new”, a guiding principle of our design is to establish the harmony between
old and new. The Victorian mansion that currently resides on this parcel is a part of Sugarhouse’s
rich history, and our approach is to respect what is old and what is new. The intent is for the
Victorian to be an enjoyable amenity space for the tenants of the multifamily development planned
for the parcels neighboring the mansion. By granting this amendment it will allow us too also better
incorporate the new build into the Victorian with the reduction of setback requirements associated to
the CSHBD2.
360 W 300 S, Suite 102
Salt Lake City, UT 84101
385-273-3888
dwelldesignstudio.com
The Mansion is currently used by a small investment firm, and the architectural beauty of the
building is underappreciated due to the privacy of its use. By including the mansion in the
residential development zone, it will enable the use of an underutilized architectural gem.
Reasons Why:
1. Not granting this amendment will leave this parcel isolated to the rest of the zoning in the area,
which in turn works against promoting the walkable, more transit-oriented district that Sugar House
Master plan is working hard to achieve.
2. The design intent is to integrate the Victorian mansion into the new build. By not granting this
amendment, the separation requirements between the two zones would be detrimental to the
project by not enabling a more direct connection between the 2 structures.
3. Additionally, by including the Victorian Mansion in the development, a piece of Sugarhouse’s
historical architectural fabric will be permanently protected.
Request amending the Zoning Map:
The request will amend the existing Zoning Map.
The parcel to be amended is 16-20-136-006-000 (see attached zoning map for reference).

This is a public comment for the 10th and Elm project.
I live on the end of Lincoln St, approximately one block south of the 10th and Elm project. The intersection at
Lincoln and Elm is dangerous because of the reduced sight lines and street parking that surrounds all sides of the
blocks. This is a popular place for patrons of Smith’s to park and it is temporary home to a lot of RVs and
campervans. I have witnessed two accidents here and my wife’s car was hit by a speeding car down Elm that could
not see her pulling out of Lincoln.
The plans for the 10th and Elm project have the buildings extending as far up to the sidewalks as possible, and the
sightlines for cars are already terrible in this neighborhood. By extending the sidewalk width, sightlines for vehicles
will be improved and pedestrians will have more space to walk (it’s pretty challenging to pass someone with a dog
or a stroller as it is now).
Developers get whatever they want in this neighborhood— please start setting some precedents that promote the
safety and character of our neighborhood. This is another project with no street activation that is going to gobble up
another full city block. Please consider something beyond an investment bank’s bottom line. We’re sick of ground
floor parking garages and boring facades winning out over the needs of the residents of Sugar House.

Hi Judi,
Trying to play catch up again here. I agree with you that the updated zoning ordinance for 10'
sidewalks should be adhered to. Additionally, I agree that the landscaping plan is critical to
continue to mitigate the effects of climate change and air pollution in our community,
particularly with such a high influx on people coming into the neighborhood through all of the
high density development that has been and will continue to occur. I would also argue that all
future development projects should be making provisions for solar power, water wise
landscaping and building materials, etc. We should be building for the future and these
developments need to be incorporating best practices for environmentally sustainable housing.
Lastly, my initial comments included questions about affordable housing options for this
project. I would like to know more about how they intend to address housing disparities in our
community with this project.
Thank you for your time on this matter.
Dayna McKee
RE: Comments & Concerns Regarding 10th & Elm Proposed Project
Dear Salt Lake City Planning Commission and City Council,
We strongly oppose this proposed project and ask that the City Council reject the move to rezone the existing
zoning of RB for 2157 S. Lincoln Street. At minimum, we ask that the City Council grants more time for the
public to gather their opinions and submit to the Council before making a final decision as our seat (District 7)
has been empty and recently filled so this will allow for adequate time for all opinions to be heard. Please
consider the following:
-There are already 4 additional major apartments being finished within a ½ mile of this location
-Sugar Alley – Lowe Development
-900 E./Sugarmont Project
-Alta Terra (Former 24 Hour Fitness)
-Former Art Studio Building @ 700 East/Simpson Ave.
-With the 4 already being built and then the Former Snelgrove Ice Cream property beginning to start
construction soon, in addition to other proposed projects in the area at the old Midas Muffler site and the Wells
Fargo Bank site, there is already enough apartments being built to support growth in the area.
-This area is already highly trafficked and increasing the amount of apartments in Sugarhouse will only
continue to steer it away from its small quaint charm that it’s always offered and is one of the best
neighborhoods in Salt Lake City for this aspect.
-This area does not have the infrastructure for these additional cars with the proposed changes happening to 21st
South resulting in a more pedestrian focused infrastructure and less lanes for cars.
-This area is becoming more walker focused and adding around 240+ cars with this proposed apartment will
only cause the traffic in the 21st South corridor to become even more challenging.
-Additionally, how will the street parking be able to support these additional cars? No matter how many spaces
are offered on site, there will always be residents and guests who will park on the street and Elm & surrounding
streets (McClelland & 1000 East) are already completely full with street parking as it is.
-There is no diversity of offerings for single families - only apartments are being put into Sugarhouse.
-There needs to be offerings such as townhomes and single-family homes to help first time home buyers be able
to buy equity.
-The community aspect is very important to us personally, as we are a young family looking to connect with
people in our community and continued apartment building prevents community equity and long-term residents.
-We understand the developer plans on keeping the Victorian house on site as part of the project, but the end
result will be a beautiful, historic home being overshadowed by an ill-fitting, massive apartment complex which
is unfortunately more of the same for this area.
