COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
CITY COUNCIL of SALT LAKE CITY
TO:City Council Members
FROM:Brian Fullmer, Policy Analyst
DATE:May 19, 2026
RE: Mountain View Corridor Property Conveyance
BRIEFING UPDATE
Council Members did not have any questions during the April 21, 2026 briefing. As a reminder, the only
required Council action is to hold a public hearing. No vote is needed.
The following information was provided for the February 10, 2026 briefing. It is
included again for background purposes.
ISSUE AT-A-GLANCE
The Council will be briefed about an initiative to transfer City-owned right-of-way to UDOT for
construction of a portion of the Mountain View Corridor. The proposal calls for UDOT to exchange
property of similar value it owns for the City property.
Under State code (72-4-105) UDOT can designate City streets as state highways but if the City isn’t
compensated ownership remains with the City. In this instance, UDOT prefers to own the property and is
providing the land exchange as compensation.
As shown in the images below the subject City property is located at approximately 5750 West 1300 South
and is about 1.3 acres. UDOT property to be conveyed to the City is an expanded 1300 South right-of-way
adjacent to the Mountain View Corridor, and new rights-of-way at approximately 1730 South 5600 West,
and 1100 South 5600 West.
The only required Council action is to schedule and hold a public hearing. No Council vote is necessary.
Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed land exchange and schedule a public hearing.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Under chapter 2.58 of City code, the subject property is considered a significant parcel. Transferring
property between the City and UDOT requires a public hearing. Once a public hearing date is set the
Administration will provide the required public notice. When the public hearing is closed that is the end of
the Council’s role. The Administration will then work with UDOT to transfer ownership of the properties
through quit claim deeds.
The following images showing properties that are proposed to be exchanged were included in the
Administration’s transmittal.
