CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Salt Lake City has received a request from John Van Trigt, the property owner, to amend the zoning map
for (or rezone) the property at approximately 128 N N St (Parcel ID 09323790090000) from the SR-1A
Special Development Pattern Residential District to the RMF-30 Low Density Multi-Family Residential
District. The intent of this rezone is to enable an infill development comprising of three rental housing
units behind the principal structure. The property sits on the East side of N St and one parcel South of the
corner of N St and 3rd Ave. It is currently occupied by a historic four-plex structure and six detached
garages at the rear of the lot. The four-plex would not be altered as part of this proposal, but four of the
existing detached garages would be demolished and replaced by the new housing units.
Location map of Subject Property
The SR-1A district does not permit multi-family dwellings. Multi-family and row house units can be
achieved through either zoning incentive options, the Affordable Housing Incentive or the Building
Preservation Incentive. It also limits building height to 23 feet and minimum lot size restrictions of 5,000
square feet per dwelling unit (or 4,000 square feet per unit for a twin home). The proposed RMF-30
district permits multi-family structures, allows a maximum height of 30 feet, and has a minimum lot size
restriction of 2,000 square feet per dwelling unit. The RMF-30 district also allows bonus units for infill
developments when a principal structure is retained. Per 21A.50.050.C the applicant is proposing
providing a minimum of two bedrooms in each of the newly built units for a community benefit.
Additionally, the applicant is not required to submit a plan amendment to the Avenues Future Land Use
Map, as proposed infill development is compatible with surrounding neighborhood in terms of bulk and
intensity. The project also meets the criteria in title 19 requiring compliance with the general plan.
The subject property is located in the Avenues Local Historic District. If this requested amendment is
adopted, the applicant would be required to seek approval for new construction from the Historic
Landmark Commission.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
Early Notification – On October 8, 2024, Planning staff sent the Greater Avenues Community Council
the required 45-day notice for recognized community organizations. The community council did not
request a presentation from the applicant, but sent back a letter of support for the rezone. In addition to
the notice sent to the Greater Avenues Community Council, staff also sent notices to all property owners
and occupants within 300 feet of the subject property, posted a public notice sign on the property, and
provided an online open house on the Planning Division’s website from October 2024 to February 2025.
Planning Commission Meeting – On January 22, 2025, the Planning Commission held a public hearing
for the request. The commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council approve the
Zoning Map Amendment request with the condition that the City Council enter into a development
agreement to ensure the agreed upon public benefit is provided by the applicant. The full public meeting
can be viewed at this link. This request begins at 19:35.
Historic Landmark Commission Meeting – On February 6, 2025, the Historic Landmark Commission
held a public hearing for the request. The commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City
Council approve the Zoning Map Amendment request. The full public meeting can be viewed at this
link. This request begins at 1:44:35.
