F. CONSENT:
1. Ordinance: Ballpark Zoning Map and Text Amendment
The Council will set the date of Tuesday, August 18, 2026 at 7 p.m. to accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the zoning of multiple properties related to the former Ballpark property as follows:
- 55 West Paxton Avenue, 77 West 1300 South, 1355 and 1357 South West Temple,
and 1356 South Main Street from PL (Public Lands) to MU-11 (Mixed-Use 11).
- 1381 South West Temple from PL (Public Lands) and RMF-35 (Moderate Density Residential Multi-Family) to MU-11 (Mixed-Use 11) and MU-5 (Mixed-Use 5).
- 1395 and 1397 South West Temple from RMF-35 (Moderate Density Residential Multi-Family) to MU-5 (Mixed-Use 5).
The proposal includes a text amendment to the MU-11 standards relating to this site and the removal of the Ballpark-specific sign requirements. The proposal would establish zoning regulations that align with the Ballpark NEXT Community Design Plan, which was adopted by the Community Reinvestment Agency Board in December
2025. Consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics. The project is within Council District 5. Petition
No.: PLNPCM2025-01089.

As of May 2026, State code requires local municipalities to approve a waiver of proximity for liquor permits prior to the Utah Department of Alcohol Beverage Services (DABS) granting the license when the location is within a specific proximity to a community location, such as a library, public park, or playground. The City is required to hold a public hearing at least 30 days before a waiver can be approved.

3. Ordinance: Maximum Daily Water Use Text Amendment
The Council will set the date of Tuesday, August 18, 2026 at 7 p.m. to accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would amend Title 21A of the Salt Lake City Code to clarify that non-residential land uses are subject to the maximum daily water consumption of 200,000 gallons per day. On March 24, 2026, the Council adopted a temporary land use regulation (TLUR) that modified the exemptions to the maximum daily water use allowed. The proposal would formally adopt the TLUR, modifying the daily maximum water consumption allowed by limiting the exemptions to agriculture, schools, government-owned or operated facilities that primarily provide social services, places of worship, and hospitals. The proposal would apply to all zoning districts.
