MOTION SHEET
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO: City Council Members
FROM: Brian Fullmer
Policy Analyst
DATE: September 5, 2023
RE: 1782 South 1600 East Zoning Map and Future Land Use Map Amendments
PLNPCM2022-01138/-01139
MOTION 1 (optional legislative action) I move that we pass a legislative action requesting staff study a zoning text amendment which would consider amending all R-1 single-family zones. The study should include but not be limited to the following possible changes:
• Consolidating of R-1/5,000, 7,000, and 12,000 into one zone, reducing the minimum lot size, removing, or reducing minimum
frontage, easing flag lot standards, and allowing single-family attached housing in all zones.
I further move that we initiate a separate study to consider zoning map amendments along collector and arterial roads to allow greater
residential density and mixed-use developments.
Motion 2 (Council Member Valdemoros’ suggestion)
I move that the City collaborate with the County to get a better understanding of how City and County ordinances interact pertaining to lot
subdivision process and update ordinances if needed to make sure both are consistent.
I further move that we ask the administration to identify residential properties that are non-conforming lots within the City and create a
streamlined process to legalize them. And recommended to the Council budgetary needs if a 3rd party is needed to help accomplish this.
Motion 3 (Council Member Dugan’s suggestion)
I move that we include in the legislative action language that the Council will hold a work session with the Administration on the scope of
the study to include:
1. Alignment with Thriving in Place
2. Alignment with future land/water policy
3. Alignment with public transportation needs
4. Our vision of a walkable city
MOTION 4 (reject)
I move that the Council reject the ordinance.
MOTION 5 (adopt)
I move that the Council adopt the ordinance.
