SUBJECT: Encircle Family and Youth Services Center Zoning Map Amendment
STAFF CONTACT: Caitlyn Tubbs, Principal Planner: (385)-315-811 Caitlyn.Tubbs@slcgov.com
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: Approve an ordinance amending the Zoning Map of approximately
0.23 acres at 329-331 South 600 East from RMF-35 to R-MU -35 as recommended by the
Planning Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: McKay Ozuna and Wade Budge, representing the property
owner, are requesting a Zoning Map Amendment for their client’s property at 329-331 South 600
East. This property houses the offices of En circle Family and Youth Services Center (the
“Center”) which is a nonprofit working with LGBTQ+ people and their friends and families. The
Center offers services to the LGBTQ+ community and is looking to establish a small café within
the existing envelope of the building to serve refreshments to its clients. Restaurant uses are not
permitted in the RMF-35 Zoning District (existing) but are allowed in the R-MU -35 Zoning
District (proposed).
The subject property is located within the Central City Master Plan area. The future land use map
designates the subject property as a medium density residential/mixed use area wh ich supports
the proposed zoning designation of R-MU -35. A master pla n amendment is not needed to
facilitate this zoning change.

ENCIRCLE FAMILY AND RESOURCE CENTER’S
APPLICATION FOR A ZONING AMENDMENT
Statement of Purpose and Description
This firm (the “Applicant”) represents Encircle Family and Resource Center (“Encircle”)
in its interest to amend the zoning map for Encircle’s property located at 331 South 600 East, Salt
Lake City (“City”), Utah 84102 (the “Property”). The Property is more particularly identified in
Salt Lake County’s official records as Parcel ID No. 16-06-428-003. The Property is currently
zoned as RMF-35, Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential District (“RMF-35”), and is also
located, in pertinent part, in the Central City Local Historic and Central City National Historic
overlay districts (collectively, the “Historic Overlays”).
Encircle is a non-profit organization whose mission is to bring family and community
together to enable LGBTQ+ youth to thrive. It accomplishes this important mission by providing
LGBTQ+ youth educational and social programs, a safe environment to socialize, and therapy.
Originally founded in 2016, Encircle continues to expand its operations throughout Utah, including
the Property, and plans to eventually expand into surrounding states for the betterment of the
LGBTQ+ community. Similarly, the operations and services Encircle has to offer have likewise
expanded. As part of this expansion effort, Encircle would now like to offer its patrons food and
beverages from a small café on the Property. This additional use of the Property would ease
socialization amongst those who use the Property and further Encircle’s mission. However, under
the RMF-35 zoning district a restaurant or retail use is not a permitted or conditional use.
The Applicant, on behalf of Encircle, thereby submits this Application for a Zoning
Amendment to amend the zoning map for the City from RMF-35 to R-MU-35, Residential/Mixed
Use District (“R-MU-35”). The City’s development file shows that the Property has historically
been used for office uses from at least the 1970s. Moreover, the Property is adjacent to the TSA-
UN-C, Transit Station Area, Urban Neighborhood-Core (“TSA-UN-C”), which permits high-
intensive uses such as a grocery chain, numerous restaurant chains, and other commercial and
retail operations. A buffer between the high-intensive uses of the TSA-UN-C zoning district and
RMF-35 is appropriate and this zoning map amendment will provide that transition and buffer
area. Further, this rezone and map amendment will assist the City in accomplishing its stated goal
of blending uses more harmoniously.1
The R-MU-35 is an appropriate zoning designation for the Property. As described above,
the Property is surrounded by more intensive uses on neighboring properties and the R-MU-35
acts as a transition between potentially incompatible uses.2 Again, this is likewise consistent with
the present and historical use of the Property. Moreover, this zoning district change is explicitly
supported by City’s master plans. Under the Central Community Master Plan, the Future Land Use
Map provided therein designates the Property as either “Medium Residential/Mixed Use” or “High
Density Transit Oriented Development”3 – both of which are consistent with the R-MU-35 zoning
1 See Note 8 below.
2 Aside from other neighboring properties zoned as RMF-35, other neighboring properties are zoned to include R-MU
west of the Property and the TSA-UN-C is adjacent to the south of the Property.
3 See Central Community Master Plan (adopted Nov. 1, 2005), at Page 2,
4832-6016-3038
district. Moreover, the change to the R-MU-35 accomplishes the master plan’s fundamental goals
of creating (i) livable communities and neighborhoods; (ii) vital and sustainable commerce; (iii)
unique and active places; and (iv) increased pedestrian mobility and accessibility.4 Finally, the R-
MU-35’s permitted and conditional uses better encourage services for residents within walking
distance of their homes, focuses commercial activity to such residents without competing with the
Central Business District, and provides more diverse and pedestrian oriented activities with a
mixture of retail, entertainment, and restaurants.5
Similarly, under the East Downtown Neighborhood Plan, the Property is designated as
within the proposed “MU-RH, Mixed Use Residential Host” and “Sub Area 2: Brownstone-
Apartment Mixed Use,” which permits such uses as “General Commercial” and “Service
Commercial.”6 A change to the R-MU-35 zoning district will help accomplish the City’s vision of
the East Downtown Neighborhood as “Utah’s premier, vibrant, diverse, mixed use urban
neighborhood.”7 Additionally, the change in zoning district blends with the existing character of
the area.8
Finally, the proposed change of zoning district from RMF-35 to R-MU-35 does not disrupt
the goals of either aforementioned master plan as to the Historic Overlays. Under both master
plans, preservation of the historical nature of the existing buildings is an important consideration.
Encircle is committed to such preservation efforts, as shown by its 2019 renovations to the historic
structure on the Property, which maintained and revitalized the historic integrity of the structure.
The proposed rezone to the R-MU-35 zoning district would not impair these historic values or
diminish the historic nature of the structure.
In light of the foregoing, the Applicant respectfully requests that this Application for a
change to the existing zoning map of the City be favorably recommended and approved by the
City. The requested zoning change for the Property to the R-MU-35 is supported by the present
and existing uses of the Property, the surrounding intensive uses in the area, and the guiding
principles of the master plans. Moreover, a change to the R-MU-35 zoning district will help
promote Encircle’s mission and enable it to better serve the LGBTQ+ youth of the City and State
of Utah.
