REGULAR AGENDA
1. POSPONED - Local Landmark Site Designation for Sampson and Altadena Apartments at
Approximately 273 E 200 S and 310 S 300 E – The Sampson-Altadena Condominiums Homeowner
Association has submitted a petition to designate the Sampson and Altadena Apartments as a local
landmark site. The site consists of two buildings on one lot, Sampson Apartments and Altadena
Apartments. The request is before the Planning Commission because the local historic district
designation process requires the Commission to hold a public hearing and forward a recommendation
to the City Council, which has final decision making authority on this type of request. The subject
property is within Council District 4, represented by Council Member Eva Lopez Chavez. (Staff

2. Text Amendment & Street Vacation at Approximately 240 W 200 N - Mayor Erin Mendenhall
initiated a petition to amend the Public Lands Zoning District to enact temporary land use regulations
adopted by the City Council in March 2025 on a permanent basis to support the ongoing construction
of Highland and West High Schools and to modify other public school buildings associated with the
voter approved bond for the Salt Lake City School District.
A. Zoning Text Amendment: This amendment impacts Chapters 21A.32.070, 21A.36.020, and
21A.34.020. The amendments alter building height restrictions, buffering requirements, and
allowed uses. Additionally, new construction would be exempt from review associated with
the Historic Preservation Overlay District. The proposed text amendment is in line with the
City Council adopted Temporary Land Use Ordinance. Case Number: PLNPCM2025-00320
B. Street Vacation: Street vacation for a 130-foot-wide and 530-foot-long portion of 200 N
between 300 West and 200 West, which is currently incorporated into West High School's
campus. This application would vacate public ownership and interest of a portion of the street.
Case Number: PLNPCM2025-00321
The Zoning Text Amendment would apply city-wide. The street vacation request is located within
Council District 3, represented by Chris Wharton. (Staff Contact: Grant Amann at 801-535-6171 or
