REGULAR AGENDA
4. Zoning Map Amendment and General Plan Amendment at Approximately 1990 S 500 E & 2002 S 500 E - Wells on 5th- Castlewood Development is requesting approval from the City to develop a 22 3+ bedroom for-sale unit project at the above listed addresses. This requires a Zoning Map Amendment and a General Plan Amendment.
A. Zoning Map Amendment: The applicant is seeking a zoning map amendment to enable a townhome development. The land is currently zoned R-1/5,000 (Single Family Residential) and is proposed to be rezoned to RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential). Although the applicant has requested that the property be rezoned to the RMF-35 zone, consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics. Petition Number: PLNPCM2026-00329
B. General Plan Amendment: This project also requires a General Plan Amendment. The amendment would change the Future Land Use Map in the Central Community Plan from 'Low Density Residential ' to 'Medium Density Residential' for these properties. Petition Number: PLNPCM2026-00331
The subject property is within Council District 5, represented by Erika Carlsen. (Staff Contact: Cassie Younger at 801-535-6211 or cassie.younger@slc.gov)
5. Text Amendment for the Definition of Family - In April 2025, the City Council adopted a legislative intent to consider updating the definition of 'family' in the zoning code. This proposal simplifies the definition by removing relationship distinctions and establishes occupancy based on the number of bedrooms. The proposed regulation changes will affect sections 21A.62.040 of the zoning ordinance and excess vehicle provision in 12.56.515 that references the family definition. Related provisions of Title 21A-Zoning may also be amended as part of this petition. (Staff Contact: Madison Blodgett at 801-535-7749 or madison.blodgett@slc.gov) Petition Number: PLNPCM2026-00244
6. Text Amendment for Affordable Housing Incentives Fines - Mayor Erin Mendenhall has initiated a petition for a text amendment to add the fines for violation of the City's Affordable Housing Incentives (AHI) program into the City's Zoning Code. Currently, the Zoning Code refers to the City's 'Consolidated Fee Schedule' (CFS) for the fines, but that document legally cannot list fines. This text amendment will remove reference to the CFS and add the associated fines directly into Chapter 21A.20 'Enforcement' of the City Zoning Code. The proposal applies to any property utilizing the City's Affordable Housing Incentives program. Related provisions of Title 21A Zoning may also be amended as part of this petition. (Staff Contact: Jason Berntson at 801-535-6247 or jason.berntson@slc.gov). Petition Number: PLNPCM2025-01180
