This meeting will be an electronic meeting pursuant to the Chair's determination that conducting the City Council meeting at a physical location presents a substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may be present at the anchor location.
The Salt Lake City Council Chair has determined that conducting a meeting at an anchor location under the current state of public health emergency constitutes a substantial risk to the health and safety of those who may attend in person. For these reasons, the Council Meeting will not have a physical location at the City and County Building and all attendees will connect remotely.

B. PUBLIC HEARINGS:
1. Ordinance: West End Alley Vacation (Adjacent to Properties Located at 740 West and 746 West 900 South)
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would close a small portion of a City-owned alley at approximately 740 West and 746 West 900 South. This is not a request to vacate the entire alley. The proposal would allow the petitioner to square off the southwestern corner of his property for a proposed future multi-family residential and commercial development. The closure will not impact traffic or access. Petition No.: PLNPCM2020-00268
FYI - Project Timeline: (subject to change per Chair direction or Council discussion)

2. Ordinance: Zoning Map Amendment located at approximately 706 to 740 West 900 South and 710 to 739 West Genesee Avenue
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would rezone properties at 706 to 740 West 900 South and 710 to 739 West Genesee Avenue, including portions of two alleys, from M-1 (Light Manufacturing) to R-MU (Residential Mixed Use). The applicant intends to develop the remaining portion of the site with multi-family residential housing that is not currently permitted under the existing zoning designation. The developer has not proposed a specific development plan as part of the rezone application. The applicant also intends to renovate two vacant commercial buildings on the site for commercial uses. Consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics. Other sections of Title 21A - Zoning may also be amended as part of this petition. Petition Nos.: PLNPCM2019-01137 and PLN2020-00442

3. Ordinance: Zoning Amendments at Approximately 2903 South Highland Drive
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the Sugar House Master Plan and Zoning Map for property at 2903 South Highland Drive. The property is currently 'split zoned.' The applicant is requesting the eastern portion of the property be changed from Low Density Residential to Low Intensity - Mixed Use in the Sugar House Master Plan. The applicant is also requesting a zoning change on the eastern portion of the property from the current R-1-7000 (Single-Family Residential) to CB (Community Business) in order to match zoning on the western portion. If approved, the changes would allow for potential future development of the site. Consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics. Other sections of Title 21A - Zoning may also be amended as part of this petition. Petition No.: PLNPCM2020-00053/00054

4. Ordinance: Rezone at 1301 and 1321 South State Street
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would rezone the properties at 1301 and 1321 South State Street. The proposal would change the properties from CC (Corridor Commercial) to FB-UN2 (Form Base Urban Neighborhood 2) and amend the table of the zoning ordinance to include additional land area eligible for additional building height. The applicant requested the rezone because the FB-UN2 zoning district better aligns with potential use of the corner lot and potential for a new mixed-use building, which would replace existing buildings on the parcels. Consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics. Other sections of Title 21A - Zoning may also be amended as part of this petition.
Petition No.: PLNPCM2020-00328

5. Ordinance*: Zoning Amendments at Lincoln Street and 200 South
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the zoning map and Central Community Master Plan for properties
located at 159 South Lincoln Street, 949 East, 955 East, 959 East and 963 East 200 South. The requested rezone would change the properties from R-2 (Single and Two-Family Residential) to RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential) zoning district. The Master Plan amendment would change the properties
from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential. The proposal would allow the applicant more flexibility to develop future multi-family residential housing than what is currently allowed. Consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics. Other sections of Title 21A - Zoning may also be amended as part of this petition. Petition No.: PLNPCM2019-00683 and PLNPCM2019-00684
*The Planning Commission forwarded a negative recommendation, therefore an ordinance has not been drafted. If the Council decides to approve the zone amendment, an ordinance would be drafted and considered for approval.
