SUBJECT: Zoning Map Amendment for 756 S. Montgomery Street (PLNPCM2023-00607)
STAFF CONTACT: Michael McNamee, Principal Planner (801-535-7226 or
michael.mcnamee@slcgov.com)
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council follow the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to approve the proposed Zoning Map amendment.
BUDGET IMPACT: None.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Mayor Erin Mendenhall initiated a petition to amend the
zoning map designation of this City-owned property at 756 South Montgomery Street in July of
2023. The request is to rezone the subject property from R-1/5000 (Single-Family Residential
District) to RMF-30 (Low Density Multi-Family Residential District). On November 29, 2023,
the Planning Commission heard the petition and forwarded a positive recommendation to the
City Council to amend the zoning map. If approved, it would allow for the construction of a
higher number of residential dwellings on this property. The property is in the portfolio of the
Housing Stability Division, who will likely seek to develop affordable housing on the site. The
site is currently vacant and based on available records likely has never been developed. It was
acquired by the City in 2014.

The RMF-30 zone is a residential zoning district that is intended to be a transition zone between
low-density residential districts such as R-1/5000 and higher density zones. This site sits in a
location that is between a mobile home park, non-conforming commercial plant nursery, and a
neighborhood that is otherwise comprised of single-family homes. As such, a transitional zone
makes sense here and given the location on the edge of the established development pattern the
impact of a slightly more intense development will be lower. Development standards in RMF-30

are similar to R-1/5000, with a slightly higher allowable building height and lot coverage
allowance. RMF-30 would also introduce design standards that are not required in R-1/5000,
such as requirements for a certain amount of durable building materials or glass facing the street.
