The Vision Map is intended as a general guide for wetland areas, but specific wetland delineation should be done when land is developed. Identification of wetlands |primarily involves the determination of three factors: the predominance of wetland vegetation, hydric (wetland) soils, and signs of hydrology. City Drai West Branc 3130N 2200W 2670N 1700N W Center St 215 Legacy Pkwy 2152 Plan Context and Purpose In 2000, a Northpoint Small Area Plan was adopted with goals to eliminate potential land use conflicts between the Salt Lake International Airport, future development, and the existing agricultural lifestyle. Other notable planning efforts for this region include the 1992 Northwest and the Jordan River/Airport Plan which address the Northpoint Plan Area, the Great Salt Lake wetlands and Jordan River, the Salt Lake Airport, and surrounding land; the 2020 Blueprint Jordan River Plan which illustrates a cohesive vision for the River as it stretches through multiple jurisdictions; the 2021 Salt Lake City International Airport Master Plan, and the 2021 Salt Lake County West General Plan. The northwest portion of Salt Lake City is limited by multiple layers of constraints, mostly environmental, but also due to airport activity, connectivity, and social equity issues. It is one of the largest growth areas for the City, but quite possibly, the most difficult to develop. This Plan addresses the natural environment, built environment, and community attributes. Many factors contribute to constraints facing the area, however many attributes act as opportunities. Salt Lake County Salt Lake City Graphic 12| Northpoint Jurisdictions The Northpoint Small Area Plan Update is a response to the rapId pace of growth and chane in the northwest portion of Salt Lake City and t anticipated new business park and light industrial uses in the area. The key goals of this Plan are te Identify appropriate future land use and development characteristics for the area that can coexist with the wildlife habitat and natural environment of the Great Salt Lake, and the operations of the Salt Lake City International Airport. Update future annexation potential for unincorporated land within Salt Lake County. Identify appropriate infrastructure requirements, including utilities and roadways, to support the future land use in the area. Identify appropriate buffering, building design, and development characteristics to reduce the impacts to residential and agricultural uses, important wildlife habitat, and other uses within the plan area. Recommend methods to reduce the negative impacts that future land uses may have on air quality, water quality, noise, and light. Plan Effectiveness The Northpoint Small Area Plan, including the Design Standards in chapter 2, is intended to be a binding document and any zoning map amendments or redevelopment shall follow the standards established within the Plan.
