REGULAR AGENDA
1. POSTPONED - 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 Contact: Noah Elmore at 801-535-7971 or noah.elmore@slc.gov) Case Number: PLNHLC2025-00357
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 grant.amann@slc.gov)
3. Alley Vacation at Approximately 1470 E 1300 S - Philip Wilkes is requesting approval for an Alley Vacation located between 1300 South and Sherman Avenue and 1400 East and 1500 East. The alley is approximately 585 feet in length and 12 feet in width. If approved, this alley would be divided and given to the property owners who abut the alley. The subject alley is located within Council District 6, represented by Dan Dugan. (Staff Contact: Seth Rios at 801-535-7758 or seth.rios@slc.gov) Case Number: PLNPCM2025-00219
