Approval of the Meeting Minutes for August 13, 2025 REGULAR AGENDA 2. Plan amendment for Water conservation and Land Use Planning – Mayor Mendenhall initiated a Plan Amendment to Plan Salt Lake, to formally integrate the City’s land use plans with the City's 2022 Water Master Plan. This proposal updates the City’s General Plan to comply with Utah State Code 10-9a-403, which mandates the inclusion of a water element in Plan Salt Lake by December 31, 2025. The Planning Commission is required to provide a recommendation to the City Council, who makes the final decision on this amendment. This proposal is citywide.

Text Amendment Clarifying the Expiration of Land Use Approvals Citywide - Mayor Erin Mendenhall has initiated a zoning text amendment to update the requirements for determining when a land use approval expires. The current requirements only require a building permit to be submitted within one year of the original date of approval. However, not all land use applications require a building permit. This proposal will add obtaining a business license for approvals that do not require a building permit, submitting a final subdivision plat, or finalizing a development agreement within one year as methods to prevent an approval from expiring. If an approval does expire, a new land use application would be required. This proposal affects sections of Title 20 Subdivisions and Title 21A Zoning that identify approval processes for specific land use applications. Related provision of Title 20 or 21A may also be amended as part of this proposal. (Staff Contact: Nick Norris at 801-535-6173 or nick.norris@slc.gov) Case number PLNPCM2025-00554 WORK SESSION 4. Avenues Plan Update - Planning Staff will provide a briefing on the process to update the Avenues Community Plan, including an overview of the exiting conditions report for the Avenues neighborhood and a summary of the public input received so far. The Avenues Community is in the northeastern area of the city, situated between City Creek to the west, University of Utah and East Bench to the east, and Downtown and Central City to the south. The Avenues Community Plan establishes the land use and growth related policies for the area and will be used to guide zoning, transportation, housing, and similar decisions.
