B. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. Ordinance: Zoning Map Amendment at Approximately 256 East 300 South The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the zoning of the property at approximately 256 East 300 South from R-
MU (Residential/Mixed-Use) to D-1 (Central Business District). The proposal would allow the potential development of a hotel within a new 185-foot building. If adopted, the applicant would then need to submit the necessary development applications, and the project would need to comply with all relevant regulations within the City zoning ordinance. The Planning Commission forwarded a negative recommendation.
Consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics. The project is within Council District 4. Petitioner: Emily Nelson of Fourier Architects, representing the property owner. Petition No.: PLNPCM2024-00423.

The proposal would expand the actions a land use applicant may take to prevent an approved land use application from expiring. The proposal helps clarify the actions a land use applicant may take to satisfy the requirement in Utah Code 10-20-902 for an applicant to implement the approval with reasonable diligence. Other sections of Titles 20 and 21A may also be amended as part of this petition. Petition No.: PLNPCM2025-00554.

3. Ordinance: Indefinite Closure of 7200 West Between Interstate 80 and California Avenue
The Council will set the date of Tuesday, May 19, 2026 at 7 p.m. to accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would indefinitely close a City-owned right-of-way on a portion of 7200 West between California Avenue and the Southerly Boundary of 152 South 7200 West pursuant to Utah Code §72-5-105. The proposal would continue to mitigate unsafe conditions and prevent substantial municipal expenditures and environmental degradation. In March 2024, the Council adopted an ordinance temporarily closing a portion of 7200 West between California Avenue and Interstate 80 due to unsafe conditions and illegal dumping.

The proposal is part of a current project to create a new Railroad Quiet Zone in the City. The closure would mitigate noise injuries, improve adjacent private property resources, and mitigate unsafe conditions the railroad crossing presents. The abutting property owners, Rocky Mountain Power, Union Pacific Railroad, and Patriot Rail have been notified of the indefinite closure.
