Ordinance: Community Correctional Facilities and Jails Text Amendment The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would amend Title 21A of the Salt Lake City Code pertaining to correctional facilities and jails. The proposal would remove community correctional facilities and jails from the Land Use Tables as a conditional use, making these uses prohibited. The amendment does not affect properties owned by the State of Utah or the Federal Government, which are exempt from local zoning regulations.

Ordinance: Zoning Map Amendment at Approximately 23 7 and 239 South 1000 East The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the zoning of the City-owned properties at approximately 237 and 239 South 1000 East from SR-3 (Special Development Pattern Residential District) and R-2 (Single-and Two-Family Residential District) to PL (Public Lands District). A portion of the property is currently zoned PL (Public Lands District). The property is currently occupied by the 10th East Senior Center and Victory Park. The proposed amendments would align the zoning to match the existing public use. Consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics.

Currently, the zoning code refers to the City's Consolidated Fee Schedule (CFS) for fines, but that document does not list fines. This proposal would remove reference to the CFS and add the associated fines directly to Chapter 21A.20 of the zoning code. The proposal applies to any property utilizing the City's Affordable Housing Incentives program.

The proposal would also amend the Avenues Plan Future Land Use Map. The proposed amendments would allow the applicant to expand the café and retail offerings by changing the single-family house from residential to commercial. The Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation for the Ellerbeck Mansion property and a negative recommendation for the single-family home, and expressed concern about the loss of the housing unit and its impacts on surrounding neighbors. Consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics. The project is within Council District 3.

The proposal would also amend the Consolidated Fee Schedule (CFS), increasing utility impact fees for the first time since 1999.
