SUBJECT: 1300 South Commercial Rezone
Petition PLNPCM2023-00385
STAFF CONTACT: Eric Daems, Senior Planner
801-535-7236 or eric.daems@slcgov.com
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council amend the zoning map as recommended by the
Planning Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Tyler Morris, the applicant representing the property owner,
submitted a petition for a Zoning Map Amendment for the properties located at 2260, 2270, and
2290 E. 1300 South. The properties are currently zoned R-1-7000, which is a single-family
residential zone. The petition is to rezone the properties to CB- Community Business. The CB
zone allows for a wider range of land uses including multi-family, commercial, retail, and
restaurants. The request did not require a master plan amendment.
At this point, the applicant has not provided a development plan for the properties. However, it is
anticipated they would be developed in junction with adjoining properties to the south and would
be used for multi-family housing or a mixed-use development.

The subject properties front along 1300
South, between Foothill Drive and 2300
East. 1300 South is a collector street
where 2300 East is a local street and
Foothill Drive is a State arterial street.
The property currently contains three
single-family homes. Each of the
dwellings are currently used as housing
rentals.
Within proximity of the subject
property, there is a mix of single-family
and commercial uses. The
neighborhood to the north (across 1300
South) contains single-family homes
and is zoned R-1-12,000. The properties
to the south and west include a single-
story gas station, 2-story
restaurant/office, and 3-story hotel. The
commercial properties are zoned CB.
The property to the east (across 2300
East) is a cemetery and is zoned OS
(Open Space).
The Planning Commission reviewed the
request at a public hearing September
13, 2023. The Commission had some
questions about final development of
the property but voted (7-2) in favor of
the City Council amending the zoning
map as requested.
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 July 3, 2023.
• East Bench Community Council- Notification to the East Bench Community Council
was sent on July 3, 2023. The community council did not request the applicant attend a
community open house but did present a letter of opposition which is in the Planning
Commission Staff Report.
• City Open House- A virtual open house was hosted by the city from July 3, 2023 -
August 17, 2023.
• Planning Commission Public Hearing- On September 13, 2023, the Planning
Commission held a public hearing regarding the proposed zoning map amendment. The

RE: Zoning Map Amendment at 2260, 2270, and 2290 East 1300 South
PLNPCM2023-00385
PUBLIC HEARING UPDATE
One person spoke at the March 26, 2024 continued public hearing requesting that any potential new
development on the site be ADA compliant. The Council closed the public hearing and deferred action to a
future meeting.
No one spoke at the February 20, 2024 public hearing. Because the petitioner planned to provide
additional information, the Council continued the hearing to a future meeting.
The petitioner followed up indicating that if the zoning map amendment was approved by the Council, it is
likely some portion of new dwelling units would meet the 80% area median income (AMI) threshold, but
they are not open to committing to any requirement through a development agreement. If the rezone is not
approved, a smaller development could be built on the parking lot area of the property under existing
zoning and would be less likely to include dwelling units at the 80% AMI threshold.
It is anticipated that a new tenant will occupy the currently vacant restaurant space fronting Foothill Drive,
which will serve as the mixed-use portion of a new development. It is the petitioner’s belief that limited
exposure and foot traffic from 2300 East would make it difficult for retail businesses in other areas of the
site to succeed.
The following information was provided for previous Council meetings. It is included
again for background purposes.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: January 16, 2024
Set Date: February 6, 2024
Public Hearing: February 20, March
26, 2024
Potential Action: April 2, 2024
Page | 2
BRIEFING UPDATE
Much of the January 16, 2024 briefing was focused on potential affordable housing in the proposed
development. Council Members expressed a desire for affordable units either with, or separate from, the
Affordable Housing Initiative. The petitioner said they hadn’t planned on including affordable units but
will review possibilities to include them. Planning staff will work with the petitioner to let them know what
options exist for affordable units.
When asked about maintaining current zoning on the subject parcels and constructing fourplexes, the
petitioner said it wouldn’t be financially feasible, and the existing homes would likely stay. Without these
parcels, there is not enough space to do a development in the current parking lot. They are amenable to
exploring available tools and include them as options for future development. The petitioner will discuss
with the property owner and follow up once they have more information.
The petitioner clarified that the subject parcels, vacant restaurant, and parking lot are under common
ownership. There are plans for a new tenant to move into the restaurant space. The proposed building
would utilize most of the parking lot and include 50-60 units, providing an additional housing option in an
area of predominantly single-family homes. The existing gas station/fast food restaurant, and hotel are
under separate ownership and not included in this proposal.
The petitioner will provide more information to the Council after discussions with the property owner.
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for parcels at 2260 East, 2270 East,
and 2290 East 1300 South in City Council District Six from their current R-1/7,000 (Single-family
Residential) zoning designation to CB (Community Business). The petitioner has not submitted
development plans for the parcels, but it is anticipated they would be developed along with adjoining
property to the south for multi-family housing or a mixed-use development. The parcels are between
Foothill Drive and 2300 East, as shown in the image below, and each has a single-family dwelling currently
used as rental housing.
Adjacent properties to the south and west are zoned CB and include a parking lot, gas station/fast food
restaurant, a two-story restaurant and office building (the restaurant is currently vacant), and a three-story
hotel. Properties on the north side of 1300 South are zoned R-1/12,000 and include single-family homes. A
cemetery zoned OS (Open Space) is on the east side of 2300 East. The Foothill Village shopping center is
on the west side of Foothill Drive and is zoned CS (Community Shopping).
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed zoning map amendment during its September 13, 2023
meeting and held a public hearing at which no one spoke. Planning staff recommended and the
Commission voted 7-2 to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council. One
Commissioner who voted in opposition cited concerns with what could be built on the site under the
proposed zoning, and a potential loss of residential feel. She prefers moderate-density residential zoning
for the parcels. The other Commissioner who voted against the motion did not state why he was opposed.
Planning staff received a letter from the East Bench Community Council outlining their opposition to the
proposed zoning map amendment. It is included on pages 21-24 of the Planning Commission staff report
and summarized here. Concerns include changes to the neighborhood and encroachment, and the
proposed zoning does not follow some initiatives found in the East Bench Master Plan. In addition,
Planning received email comments expressing concern with neighborhood impacts including parking,
traffic, and reduced walkability.

Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning map amendments, determine if the Council supports
moving forward with the proposal.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to ask the applicant if they plan to include any affordable housing in
potential future projects on the subject sites. If yes, is the Council interested in asking the applicant
Page | 4
if they would be willing to enter into a development agreement pertaining to affordable housing
units?
2. The Council may wish to ask the Administration how the Affordable Housing Incentives may
impact this petition or development potential on the property.
3. The Council may wish to ask if tenants of the properties will be offered relocation assistance.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property. No formal site plan has been submitted
to the City nor is it within the scope of the Council’s authority to review the plans. Because zoning of a
property can outlast the life of a building, any rezoning application should be considered on the merits of
changing the zoning of that property, not simply based on a potential project.
KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Planning staff identified three key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 4-8 of
the Planning Commission staff report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the
staff report.
Consideration 1 – Master Plan Compatibility.
Planning staff found that the proposed zoning map amendment supports several initiatives in Plan Salt
Lake, East Bench Master Plan, and the Salt Lake City Housing Plan. It has the potential to increase
moderate-density housing in a neighborhood with existing infrastructure. Combining the parcels with
adjacent parcels already zoned CB would allow cohesive development for the block and vehicular access
from a key intersection on Foothill Drive.
Consideration 2 – Housing Loss Mitigation.
When properties with housing units are rezoned to a zoning district that allows non-residential uses, a
housing loss mitigation plan approved by the City is required. Options for mitigation are found in Chapter
18.97.030 Salt Lake City Code. They include replacement housing, a fee based on the difference between
existing housing and replacement cost, and a fee where deteriorated housing exists, not caused by
deliberate indifference of the landowner. In this case, the petitioner chose to enter a development
agreement with the City requiring the three single-family homes to be replaced with at least the same
number of dwelling units if the homes are demolished.
Consideration 3 – Neighborhood Impacts.
The CB zoning district is intended to provide close integration of moderately sized commercial areas with
adjacent residential neighborhoods. As discussed above, the subject properties abut CB-zoned
development to the south and west. Planning staff found that if additional development occurred on the CB
zoned properties, the single-family homes would feel isolated and potentially out of place.
Future buildings larger than 7,500 square feet within the CB zone would require additional design
standards and design review approval from the Planning Commission.
As shown in the zoning comparison table below, the 30-foot maximum building height in CB zoning is
similar to the 28-foot maximum height under current R-1/7,000 zoning. Planning staff found that 1300
South will help buffer single-family residential properties to the north.
ZONING COMPARISON
The following table compares building height, setback, and other requirements for the current R-1/7,000
and proposed CB zoning districts.

Analysis of Standards
Attachment E (pages 17-19) of the Planning Commission staff report outlines zoning map amendment standards
that should be considered as the Council reviews this proposal. The standards and findings are summarized
below. Please see the Planning Commission staff report for additional information.
Factor Finding
Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent
with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of
the city as stated through its various adopted
planning documents.
Complies
Whether a proposed map amendment furthers the
specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance.
Complies
The extent to which a proposed map amendment will
affect adjacent properties
Complies
Page | 6
Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent
with the purposes and provisions of any applicable
overlay zoning districts which may impose additional
standards.
Complies
The adequacy of public facilities and services
intended to serve the subject property, including, but
not limited to, roadways, parks and recreational
facilities, police and fire protection, schools,
stormwater drainage systems, water supplies, and
wastewater and refuse collection.
Some City public
facilities and services
may need to be
upgraded and
improved if the
density changes or if
land use changes to a
more intense use.
City Department Review
During City review of the petitions, no responding departments or divisions expressed concerns with the
proposal but stated additional review and permits would be required if the property is developed.
