SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL
NOTICE OF HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT ON Tuesday, February 20, 2024, a public hearing will be held at 7:00 p.m. by the Salt Lake City Council to consider authorizing a 99-year below-market ground lease to the University of Utah of 1.175 acres of City-owned property at approximately 1735 Sunnyside Avenue. This lease would facilitate the expansion of the University's baseball field to meet the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) requirements for a competition field, but also result in the removal of one existing City-owned softball field and one multi-purpose field located at Sunnyside Park. In exchange for this lease, the University would commit $4.2 million to the City for improvements and new amenities at Sunnyside Park, as well as, possibly, other public benefits. The types of improvements and amenities would be determined through a community engagement process.
