Set the date for a public hearing to facilitate public noticing requirements for the transfer of significant parcels to the RDA, and the public noticing for the lease of a significant parcel to UTA.
Background/Discussion (?)
The purpose of this transmittal is to initiate the process to transfer significant parcels of real property to the RDA and subsequent ground lease to UTA.
The RDA currently owns the former Sugar House Fire Station property and the former Deseret Industries property
located at approximately 1085 E Simpson Avenue and 2234 S Highland Drive, respectively, within the RDA’s former
Sugar House Project Area. The RDA purchased the Deseret Industries property in 2012 and Salt Lake City transferred
the adjacent Fire Station property to the RDA in 2020.
In 2021, the state legislature allocated $12M towards the extension of the S-line. UTA, in collaboration with Salt Lake
City, intend to use this funding to extend the S-Line east from the end of line at Fairmont Station at 1040 East to the
heart of the Sugar House business district at Highland Drive.
The scope of this project includes the closure of Sugarmont Drive between Simpson Avenue and Highland. The closure
of Sugarmont Drive is supported by the following City and community general plans:
The Sugar House Master Plan (Pg 5) adopted in November 2001, recommends that this section of
Sugarmont is repurposed for redevelopment.
The Sugar House Circulation Study (Pg 25-30, 56) adopted in February 2014, also recommends the
closure of the portion of Sugarmont Drive in question.
The Local Link Study (Pg 6) adopted in February 2023, recommends that the Parley’s Trail remain on this
portion of Sugarmont Drive.
City staff with an independent surveyor confirmed that this segment of Sugarmont drive was not dedicated as public
right-of-way. Staff has notified abutting property owners of the pending closure. Even though this segment of Sugarmont is not technically a declared public right-of-way, City Code 2.58.035 deems a City-owned property as
“significant” if it has been used as a street or alley. Accordingly, the Administration is treating the Sugarmont drive
properties as significant and following the applicable notice and hearing requirements prior to conveying the property
to the RDA. A portion of City-owned property along Sugarmont Drive is identified as “Lot 2 – Public Infrastructure” on
the Preliminary Plat for continued use of the Parley's Trail and other infrastructure needs.
The RDA has submitted preliminary subdivision plat application (PLNSUB2024-00518) which includes these
properties. Finalization of the plat is dependent upon the conveyance of the City properties to the RDA. To facilitate
this impactful public infrastructure project, the RDA will be conveying a portion of their property along Simpson
Avenue to the City in exchange for property within Sugarmont Drive. Because of this exchange, the Administration
intends to convey the properties at zero dollars. City Code 2.58.030 provides that City owned property may be
conveyed at less than fair market when conveyed to units of government or other public or quasi-public
organizations.
Following recordation of the final plat, a portion of the City-owned property along Simpson Avenue will be dedicated as public right of way to provide additional width necessary to accommodate the extension of the S-Line Rail infrastructure from Sugarmont Drive to the intersection of Simpson Avenue and Highland Drive. This land will then be leased to UTA for the construction and operation of the S-Line streetcar.
The City-owned properties were declared surplus by Real Estate Services on August 30, 2024. Both properties are
considered significant parcels of real property as defined in Chapter 2.58. A public process is required for the sale or
lease of significant parcels by provision 2.58.040. This process requires class A noticing and a public hearing before
the City Council.
The Council’s role in this transaction is as follows:
Sale of Significant Parcels of Real Property Public Hearing Providing notice of the proposed sale or transfer and the public hearing through the process outlined in state code for “Class A” public notice as described in State code 63G-30-102. Status: Once the public hearing date is set, the Administration will post the public notice on the Utah Public Notice and City websites, and on the affected parcel in accordance with the State code. Hold a public hearing before the City Council. Status: The Administration is requesting that the Council set the date for a public hearing.
Will the City Council need to hold a public hearing for this item?*
Yes
No
Public Process (?)
The public process for the conveyance of significant parcels and the long-term ground lease on a significant parcel will be carried out with the submission of this transmittal.
