DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends the City Council adopt the Assessment
Ordinance for the Central Business Improvement Area 2025 (CBIA-25).
BUDGET IMPACT: The CBIA-25 would be funded through Special Assessment. The budget
summary for the City is detailed starting on page 3 under the section “Financial Summary for
CBIA – 25.” Possible changes as recommended by the Board of Equalization have been added in
red.
COORDINATION: Economic Development, Treasurer’s Office, Engineering Division,
Recorder’s Office, Information Management Services, City Council’s Office, Attorney’s Office,
Board of Equalization, Zions Public Finance, and Gilmore & Bell (Bond Counsel).
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Salt Lake City established the Central Business Improvement
Area (CBIA) in 1991 as a mechanism to fund marketing, promotions, advocacy, and other
initiatives in Downtown Salt Lake City through a special assessment on property within a
designated area. This approval would re-establish a special assessment on properties within the
same boundaries as 2022 for a three-year period and break out a second assessment for holiday
lighting (same boundaries as 2022, maps attached). This process is the final action by the City
Council to establish the CBIA-25 which would begin in August 2025.
Board of Equalization: As required by law, a Board of Equalization (BOE) for the Assessment
Area was appointed by the City Council on November 12, 2024. The BOE consisted of
representatives from the Salt Lake City Council’s Office, the City Treasurer’s Office, and the City
Engineer’s Office.
The BOE met three times in January 2025, and three times in February 2025, to hear and consider
any arguments from individuals or property owners who claim to be aggrieved. The role of the
BOE is to consider all facts and arguments presented at the hearings and provide recommendations
to the City Council.
BOARD OF EQUALIZATION RECOMMENDATIONS: The Board of Equalization (BOE)
has recommended several adjustments to the CBIA-25 assessments. First, the BOE proposes
removing the holiday lighting assessment for three (3) parcels, which would reduce total revenue
by $2,146.17. Second, the BOE recommends removing the assessment for six (6) parcels owned
by two entities that were misidentified as hotel uses due to overlapping apartment/condo and hotel
codes in Salt Lake County records. Additionally, the BOE has recommended reducing the
assessment for eleven (11) other parcels. Of these, eight (8) parcels successfully disputed their
valuations with the Salt Lake County Assessor, resulting in adjusted property values. The
remaining four (4) parcels, owned by a single entity, are recommended for a one-third reduction in
assessment to reflect their location outside the Downtown Ambassador’s service area.
The updated budget includes the maximum adjustments approved by the BOE, highlighted in red.
The City Council has the authority to accept, reject, or modify the BOE’s recommendations. While
it is unlikely the budget will face shortfalls, even with these adjustments, potential funding gaps
could be addressed through surplus funds in existing accounts, reserve funds, or reduced contractor
fees. These recommendations are presented for the City Council’s consideration.
It is unlikely that the budget will be insufficient, even if all the properties listed above are given a
lower assessment. However, if the budget is insufficient, other funds that may be used to fulfill the
budget include: 1) any surplus remaining in existing accounts, 2) the reserve withheld, and/or; 3)
reduced contractor fees.

assessed. By Utah law, properties that are not included in the initial Notice of Intent cannot be
added later unless the property owner consents. However, properties may be removed from the
CBIA-25 at the City Council’s discretion before assessment. Property owners are assessed the full
amount but may pay the assessment in three (3) annual installments. No more than 30% of the
assessment funds may be spent on administrative expenses.

Report of the Board of Equalization Special Assessment Area Central Business Improvement Area CBIA-25 The Board of Equalization Hearings for Special Assessment Area CBIA-25 were held on January 7, 8, and 9, 2025 at 451 South State Street, Room 315, and online, in accordance with the statute governing special assessment areas. The Board of Equalization discussed and presented its �indings in a meeting held on January 9, 2025. Board of Equalization Members
• City Council – Ben Luedtke, Signature: _
• Treasurer’s Of�ice – Gaby Ewell, Signature: _
• Engineering - Chris Norlem, Signature: _ Advisory Panel to the Board
• CBIA Consultant – Ryan K. Smith
• Department of Economic Development – Andie Feldman
• City Attorney’s Of�ice – Sara Montoya
• City Recorder’s Of�ice – Thais Stewart The following are the concerns of property owners regarding the special assessment area, and the recommendations of the Board of Equalization. Robert Larkin Larkin Mortuary Address: 250 E South Temple St, 84111 Parcel #: 16 06 127 0007 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Address: 260 E South Temple St, 84111 Parcel #: 16 06 217 014 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Property Owner Concerns: Mr. Larkin is concerned that one of his properties was assessed a holiday lighting fee when no holiday lighting exists in front of the property. Mr. Larkin also expressed concern that his properties do not bene�it from the economic promotion of the Central Business District, or if they do, they are proportionally less bene�ited than other properties more centrally located in the area. He also felt the assessment does little to address other concerns in the area. Board of Equalization Recommendation: The Board was able to determine that parcel number 16 07 217 014 0000 does not receive holiday lighting and recommends that this property not be assessed for holiday lighting. The Board recommends that the base assessment is appropriate. Brent Bowen 42EP LLC Address: 42 E Exchange Pl, 84111 Parcel #: 16 06 303 008 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Property Owner Concerns: Mr. Bowen appeared before the Board to contest the linear frontage as listed on the notice received. He con�irmed that the total linear frontage per Salt Lake County data is 86.7 feet on one side, and 17.6 feet on the other, whereas the notice he received listed total frontage as just over 204 linear feet. Mr. Bowen also asked for clari�ication on whether he would be assessed for both sides of his corner lot, and he asserted that an assessment may only use one side of a corner property when calculating the linear frontage. Board of Equalization Recommendation: Ryan Smith with Zions Public Finance con�irmed that, per statute, the Board may make an allowance to assess for both sides of a corner property if they are receiving the same improvement on both sides. However, t he Board was able to determine that this parcel does not receive holiday lighting and recommends that this property not be assessed for holiday lighting. Peter Corroon Sorrento Car Wash Address: 10 W 300 S, 84101 Parcel #: 15 01 280 033 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Property Owner Concerns: Mr. Corroon �iled an appeal with Salt Lake County regarding the property value as determined by the County Assessor’s Of�ice. The appeal was found in his favor and adjusted
the property value, and Mr. Corroon submitted a copy of the appeal to the Board for review. He requests that the Board recommend that the assessment amount for CBIA-25 be adjusted to consider the updated property value per the County’s valuation. Board of Equalization Recommendation: The Board recommends that the CBIA-25 assessment amount be updated to re�lect the successful valuation appeal with Salt Lake County. Matt Forsgren New York Limited; 330 West Temple, LLC Address: 330 S West Temple St., 84101 Parcel #: 15 01 427 005 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Address: 334 S West Temple St., 84101 Parcel #: 15 01 427 006 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Address: 48 W Market St., 84101 Parcel #: 15 01 430 005 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Address: 335 S West Temple St., 84101 Parcel #: 15 01 430 004 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Property Owner Concerns: Mr. Forsgren came before the Board to express his support for the special assessment area, but wanted to also request that the assessment amounts be adjusted as they do not currently have full occupancy in their property, and feel that this assessment is too large to responsibly pass down to their current tenants, and may in fact make it harder to keep them or attract new ones. He also wanted to know if he was able to combine all the parcels into one to only pay for one assessment, rather than receive an individual assessment on each parcel. Board of Equalization Recommendation: The Board discussed that the Statute governing special assessment areas only enables them to adjust assessment amounts based on bene�its received, or proof of lack thereof, and makes no provisions for hardship. The Board therefore feels that the assessments are appropriate. Ryan Smith with Zions Public Finance con�irmed for the Board that property owners can combine their parcels, but the assessment amount will remain the same as the total valuation would not change. The Board also suggests that City staff connect with Mr. Forsgren to ensure that he understands what the total assessment amount will be, and how this is determined.
McKenna Tracey Liberty Sky Apartments Address: 151 S State St., 84111 Parcel #: 16 06 112 002 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Address: 151 S State St., 84111 Parcel #: 16 06 112 003 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Property Owner Concerns: Ms. Tracey appeared before the Board as a property manager for Liberty Sky Apartments. She informed the Board that the parcels that received an assessment notice were residential properties with no commercial spaces and requested that they not be included in the assessment area. Ms. Tracey also expressed some confusion on why there were 2 parcel IDs for this property when it is just 1 property. Board of Equalization Recommendation: Ryan Smith with Zion’s Public Finance con�irmed that due to an overlap of hotel properties and apartment/condo properties listed under the same property type code on the Salt Lake County Assessor LIR database, 6 parcel IDs across 2 owners were erroneously identi�ied as hotels, but consist multifamily complexes and associated resident parking. Among the 6 misidenti�ied parcels, 2 are owned by Liberty Sky/Cowboy Properties. The Board recommends that the Liberty Sky Parcels not be included in the assessment area and further recommends that the 2 additional residential parcels be removed as well.
Bruce Markosian AAM Investments LTD Address: 751 W 300 S, 84104 Parcel #: 15 02 279 001 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Address: 735 W 300 S, 84104 Parcel #: 15 02 280 001 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Address: 760 W 400 S, 84104 Parcel #: 15 02 427 001 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Address: 735 W 300 S, 84104 Parcel #: 15 02 427 002 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Property Owner Concerns: Mr. Markosian feels that due to his property’s location on the edge of the CBIA-25 district, there is a lack of direct bene�its from the district, and he requested to redraw district boundaries to exclude his property. Mr. Markosian’s speci�ic concerns included holiday lighting assessment fees on parcels that did not receive holiday lighting, and the overall assessment cost that he feels cannot be responsibly passed on to tenants in the space, and whether a reduction was appropriate. Board of Equalization Recommendation: The Board �irst wanted to clarify that they do not have the authority to redraw the boundary maps and are only able to make recommendations speci�ic to assessment amounts. They suggest that Mr. Markosian connect with his City Council representative to discuss this further. The Board recommends that the holiday lighting assessments be removed from 3 of Mr. Markosian’s properties as none receive this bene�it. The Board feels that while Mr. Markosian’s properties are on the fringes of the assessment area, they still receive the bene�it of the special assessment area. However, the Board recognizes that these parcels are not included in the Downtown Ambassador program’s service area map, and therefore the Board recommends that the assessment amount be reduced by 1/3 (proportional to the Ambassador program’s share of the SAA budget) to re�lect this lack of bene�it. The Board would also like to recommend to Council to review this particular area of the map, and either expand services to include this area to better meet its speci�ic service needs. Jyri Koivisto AP Ford Building, LLC Address: 280 S 400 W, 84101 Parcel #: 15 01 179 010 0000
Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Address: 234 S 400 W, 84101 Parcel #: 15 01 179 008 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Address: 268 S 400 W, 84101 Parcel #: 15 01 179 004 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Property Owner Concerns: Mr. Koivisto appeared before the Board and informed them that 2 of their 3 parcels were assessed a holiday lighting fee when there is no holiday lighting in front of their property. Mr. Koivisto requested that the holiday lighting fee be removed. Board of Equalization Recommendation: The Board con�irmed that the parcel in question does not receive holiday lighting and is not in the holiday lighting map service area and recommends that the holiday lighting assessment be removed.
Lynn Ward Japanese Church of Christ Address: 247 W 100 S, 84101 Parcel #: 15 01 207 005 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Address: 266 W 100 S, 84101 Parcel #: 15 01 204 039 0000 Proposed Assessment: (as originally mailed for the BOE)
Property Owner Concerns: Ms. Ward appeared as a representative for the property and informed the Board that the parcel on 247 W 100 S received a holiday lighting assessment fee but does not have any holiday lighting. She also expressed that the property was having issues with the unhoused population leaving litter, biowaste and graf�iti, and hoped that CBIA-25 would be able to provide more services to help deal with these issues. Board of Equalization Recommendation: The Board con�irmed that the parcel in question does not receive holiday lighting and is not in the holiday lighting map service area and recommends that the holiday lighting assessment be removed. The Board then suggests that City staff connect Ms. Ward with Downtown Ambassador staff and the Downtown Alliance to enable the property to make use of the services available.
