BRIEFINGS
1. SLC Ballpark Station Area Rezones Briefing - Mayor Erin Mendenhall has initiated a petition to implement the recommendations in the Ballpark Station Area plan, and rezone properties identified within three future land use areas specified in the plan including the Heart of the Neighborhood, Main Street Area, and Jefferson Park Mixed Use Area. The proposal consists of the following amendments:
A. Zoning Map Amendments: The proposed zoning map amendments are intended to establish zoning districts that align with the goals, policies, future land use recommendations, and community vision established in the plan.
B. Zoning Text Amendments: The City is proposing zoning text amendments to establish a new zone, MU-8, Form Based, Mixed Use 8 Zoning District. The City is proposing associated zoning map amendments to implement the proposed MU-8 zone in the Ballpark Station Area, within a portion of Heart of the Neighborhood and Main Street Area.

2. General Plan and Zoning Amendments (Community Benefit Ordinance) - The Planning Division is considering updates to portions of the Land Use Code to implement priority policies in Thriving in Place to mitigate involuntary displacement due to development pressure. The updates include the creation of a new Title 19 General Plans and amendments to Title 21A.50 Amendments. The identified policy goals for the Planning Division include establishing a community benefit policy for general plan and zoning amendments; the creation of a tenant relocation assistance program; replacement housing requirements for demolitions associated with requested amendments; and new standards for consideration when analyzing a zoning or general plan amendment that consider impacts from potential displacement. With this update, Title 18.97 Mitigation of Residential Housing Loss will be deleted and replaced with the community benefit policy in Title 19 General Plans and Title 21A.50 Amendments. Title 18.64.050 Residential Demolition Provisions will be amended to include provisions to ensure the replacement of housing units that have a similar rent and unit size if housing is demolished. This briefing is intended to introduce the proposed amendments to the Commission and gather feedback in anticipation of a future public hearing.
