COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM: Nick Tarbet
Deputy Director
DATE:March 24, 2026
RE:Proposed Disposition of Airport Property: 840 South Gladiola Street
Reminder: SLC Airport Noise Property Disposition
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Department of Airports proposes to sell the property at 840 south Gladiola Street which was purchased in
1987 with FAA funds for acquiring residential properties in areas with high noise exposure. The property was
acquired contingent upon the City allowing the then-current owner to lease back the property. The lessee,
however, is no longer living in the home and the airport is ready to sell it. Both adjacent property owners have
expressed interest in purchasing the property. Since the property was purchased with FAA funds, it must be sold
at fair market value. The property is approximately 0.95 acres.
The Council’s role in this process is outlined in 2.58.040 Sale of Significant Parcels of real property.
When a significant parcel of city property is sold, at least one public hearing must be held for the public to
comment on the proposal. The Airport board is one of the city entities listed that may hold a public hearing. That
hearing was held on February 22, 2026. No one spoke during the hearing.
In addition to this public hearing, The City Council may request a second public hearing. The request must be
submitted to the Mayor’s Office no less than fifteen days after delivery of notice about the potential sale of
property is delivered to the City Council. The Council received a transmittal on February 26 stating the intent to
sell the property. On Wednesday, March 3, at the direction of the Council Chair and Vice-Chair, Council staff
made the official request for a second public hearing.
Schedule:

The public hearing is set for Tuesday, March 24. The Council does not take any formal action other than to hold
the hearing. The mayor or their designee shall attend to “hear and consider comments upon the proposal to
convey the property” (2.58.040D). The motion sheet will provide the options to either close or continue the
public hearing.
Goal of the Public Hearing: For the Council to hold a second public hearing giving the public the
opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed disposition of airport property.
