The overlay would change multifamily from a conditional use to a permitted use for qualifying projects and allow redevelopments to proceed under development agreements the council would approve.

Spencer, a city planner, said the overlay is designed to implement the city's general plan goals for vibrancy, walkability and transit-oriented development. Key proposed standards are a 5-acre minimum lot for qualifying projects, a 50-unit-per-acre minimum density, and an average building height of at least 50 feet to ensure projects achieve a certain urban scale. The overlay would not alter setback standards and would be applied as an overlay onto existing downtown zoning.

Spencer said Blazer Ventures has petitioned the city to rezone the Marcus Center property to the new overlay and that a fully executed development agreement must be in place before any rezoning would take effect. He described the intended benefits of a development agreement as a tool to secure high-quality urban design, a mix of residential and commercial uses, public amenities, and deed-restricted affordable housing. Spencer said the project package discussed by staff includes a 470-space publicly accessible parking structure and that affordable housing components would be deed-restricted at 60% AMI; he also said the project would use HTRZ funding as part of the public investment strategy.

The planning commission reviewed the overlay and forwarded a positive recommendation on June 19, Spencer said. At the work meeting staff asked council to enact the overlay as a code change; the rezoning for the Marcus Center and any development agreement would return to council together once the developer's agreement is ready.

Ending: staff asked council to take action at the upcoming regular meeting to enact the new overlay district; Spencer said the development agreement and rezoning would be presented for council consideration at the same meeting if the agreement is executed by then.","Staff presented a new Housing and Transit overlay to permit denser mixed-use redevelopment through development agreements; the overlay would require a minimum 5-acre site, 50-unit-per-acre density and an average building height of 50 feet, and Blazer Ventures has requested rezoning for the Marcus Center property pending a development agreement.",{"_32":87,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":88,"_40":89,"_42":90,"_44":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6551129,"City updates moderate-income housing plan; adds rehabilitation and rezoning strategies",214,1831590,2046230,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5356081-f2e08f427c37b14e6c9925a43ec1f6ad&start=1831&end=2046","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5356081-f2e08f427c37b14e6c9925a43ec1f6ad/thumbnail_1831590.jpg","/articles/6551129/South-Salt-Lake/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/City-updates-moderate-income-housing-plan-adds-rehabilitation-and-rezoning-strategies","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551129-cecb0b42c1b1df2793d2f24e04aff896/orig.mp4?Expires=1770041142&Signature=Ho-lhI3k9m-XhYC4XhgV8NPpvs2EbOTXesNRRzUM9H55MPGQ3~0k5VpBJjo9YJlNHvjT3uNPvx8luv4mHgKA~JeTJE3uWpZfKyal35bvUEOO7xM~udmwyjT29v-3Fy4mhJzoopLjUZxIgO1OWwP~-dfmeJ~VEq7bqROpra3MDsF12e2lP1ZZrzmLeC2rYRheS0-czgqfpcNIf8qMX7oS1VacUh6Shsi0gM1gERoVbw9fi6~qkpyxMAMSp0vX8tFP-zJb5gsyAfvR9U4sPuhxIW8G47e8IYaTd3E2BMrxMyjS1wh7na0Dlw41AN3oz-2BRe5okHARRm9HOwkPVaUWxA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Steve Lyon, the city's affordable housing manager, briefed council July 9 on amendments to South Salt Lake's moderate-income housing plan required by state code. Lyon said the city has completed two of the five originally adopted strategies and must add new elements to remain in compliance with state reporting requirements.

Lyon described proposed strategies to (1) rezone for densities needed to facilitate production of moderate-income housing and (2) demonstrate investment in the rehabilitation of abandoned or uninhabitable housing stock. The city plans to pursue rezonings as part of a broader zoning code update and to purchase and rehabilitate housing stock through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity. Lyon said the county recently awarded an additional $650,000 in Community Development Block Grant funds for that rehabilitation effort, bringing the available funding for the project to approximately $1.6 million.

Lyon said the city needs to adopt the amendment by July 23 and will submit it to the state by August 1, 2025. He also noted changes at the state level: reporting for moderate-income housing plans will move from annual to every three years following recent legislation. At the meeting, Councilmember Nick asked for clarification of the income band for \"moderate\" housing; Lyon replied that the plan targets households roughly in the 50–60% area median income (AMI) band for certain moderate-income strategies.

Ending: staff will present the amendment to the planning commission and return to council for adoption to meet the state's timeline.","Housing manager Steve Lyon said South Salt Lake has achieved two of five strategies in its moderate-income housing plan and is proposing new strategies to support higher densities and rehabilitation of uninhabitable housing; the city received a $650,000 CDBG award and expects to submit the amendment to the state by August 1.",{"_32":99,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":100,"_40":101,"_42":102,"_44":103,"_46":104,"_48":105,"_50":106,"_52":107,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":108,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":109,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6551133,"Council briefed on proposal to shrink minimum lot size in commercial neighborhood zone",147,1655270,1802490,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5356081-f2e08f427c37b14e6c9925a43ec1f6ad&start=1655&end=1802","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5356081-f2e08f427c37b14e6c9925a43ec1f6ad/thumbnail_1655270.jpg","/articles/6551133/South-Salt-Lake/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Council-briefed-on-proposal-to-shrink-minimum-lot-size-in-commercial-neighborhood-zone","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551133-332d2facc1f1ca1c5faaad8880804ddb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770041142&Signature=lycAIWP02ac5B2nXzdthjD~IQlAuvPNNriodDgaWYs2His4eLA-ybh9voX0sQhJnRk6KUxGzGpGO8iPBRTu1LOZC~lgrXh92y67JxD5SDkID0U9JOUOtAaH2mL42l98FxWoK2Ouhc-Jb0aU~nNmJSo1pcZlAv-YN535x14OGgbMl0WwMiwRp78L3OqWd61suVmImQS9dxbMsFdmLGuVmWpTcJAdX3ff-JtmvK5fWe6ulECFhRC4Si1BXXPr3UgMRtHSz-Fub~Ypqq0F-aTFQVOziRBJwNua7nb~VERQySPlN4kVVOcIRwIvzb~FUI0tJxl7CJcAnibmWjHBObCU-Jg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","South Salt Lake planning staff presented a proposal July 9 to amend the Commercial Neighborhood zone's minimum lot size from 0.5 acre to 0.25 acre to encourage redevelopment along Main Street and nearby corridors.

Charlotte, a planning staff member, said the Commercial Neighborhood zone covers roughly Main Street and portions of 200 South and 700 South (presentation identified the area as approximately 130 East to 400 East along the noted commercial corridors). Under the current half-acre standard only 4 of about 105 parcels meet the size requirement; reducing the minimum to one-quarter acre would raise the count to 25 parcels (not counting adjacent parcels under separate ownership that could consolidate to meet standards). Staff told council the average lot size in the zone is about 0.2 acres.

Charlotte said staff does not recommend lowering the minimum much further because design standards (parking, landscaping, setbacks) make very small lots difficult to develop productively. She pointed to the Town and Country Market across from the police station as a quarter-acre example. The staff presentation noted the planning commission held a public hearing on June 19, received no public comments, and forwarded a positive recommendation to council. The item will return on the regular agenda for council action.

Ending: council asked no substantial questions at the work meeting and directed staff to proceed through the public-review schedule.","Staff proposed reducing the minimum lot size in the Commercial Neighborhood zone from one-half acre to one-quarter acre to spur redevelopment along sections of Main Street and Seventh South; planning commission held a public hearing June 19 and forwarded a positive recommendation.",{"_32":111,"_34":35,"_36":37,"_38":112,"_40":113,"_42":114,"_44":115,"_46":116,"_48":117,"_50":118,"_52":119,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":120,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":121,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6551139,"Council briefed on proposed city-facility overlay to allow leased properties for city operations",142,1485580,1628430,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5356081-f2e08f427c37b14e6c9925a43ec1f6ad&start=1485&end=1628","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5356081-f2e08f427c37b14e6c9925a43ec1f6ad/thumbnail_1485580.jpg","/articles/6551139/South-Salt-Lake/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Council-briefed-on-proposed-city-facility-overlay-to-allow-leased-properties-for-city-operations","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6551139-9e8e6a94b2395ba4685da9eb4bb01a67/orig.mp4?Expires=1770041142&Signature=K-5qr5iqv-uyIPOXFikEFo9GoxKssRchHxjlDuyWhYNQmR5Kt7bX2suJ4PvTmLOTrlkOenVlEBBRa047Mg2X0ws0EfLFHrKfS9MRg7yqN-HArjwf-2d5UlkreTd~vcFkuQ3LN783N8xdR~Pq3P0SSSFXxY~InM1cJyquLzKhzb64LjRHzACP4pJOyUdeCa6SKPz5A1VZH4aEiW4HShGZVw6kKypmMMo~ejyTZonLEcp7k1xKJGYSxzMAKrK9imbVOlEMoAiL3x3KBC~tAEyNxtapucNrHqZHKwDRixNI2LoBQRYsTlWpZEhvsx5A3qnos11rQhsoxb~qqKflQL1z9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff presented a code amendment concept to create a city facility overlay at the South Salt Lake work meeting on July 9, 2025. The overlay would allow properties the city leases to be used as city facilities without changing the base zoning, and the overlay would sunset at the end of the lease.

Eliza, a city staff member, said the overlay is similar to an item discussed with council on April 23 and that the overlay would be added to Title 17. She said the overlay is proposed so the city can operate leased properties \"as if it's a city property, without having to change the zone and then change the zoning back after we end that lease.\" The first proposed application is a parcel on Ninth West directly south of the fire department to support Public Works staging while the Public Works campus is under construction.

The staff presentation noted the overlay must still go before the planning commission (scheduled for the day after the work meeting) for a public hearing; if the planning commission forwards a recommendation, the item will return to council on the regular agenda for consideration.

The firm said a community survey will launch Friday, July 11, and close July 27 as part of a short outreach window before staff returns with recommendations later this summer.

The plans respond to a state station-area planning requirement (referred to in the presentation as HP462) that asks cities to plan a half-mile radius around each transit station within their borders. \"Station-area plans are required to look at a half mile radius around each ... station,\" said Chris Giddes, principal at Design Workshop, during an overview of the two study areas.

Why it matters: the two stations sit in different conditions and pose different opportunities for transit-oriented development and community amenities. Meadowbrook Station overlaps the border with Millcreek and includes several large parcels, including property owned by UTA and a former community college site identified as a catalytic redevelopment opportunity. Mill Creek Station sits adjacent to a state highway (3300 South), where industrial uses and truck traffic today limit pedestrian access and where the presentation noted there are no parks inside the half-mile study area.

Design Workshop summarized community outreach undertaken so far: a launch event tied to a mural festival, tabling at stations, and a design charrette that drew staff, property owners, developers and residents. Roughly 90 people participated across three outreach events, the consultant said. Top priorities voiced by participants were safe, comfortable access to transit; a stronger sense of place with gathering spaces and events; enhanced pedestrian connections; and neighborhood-serving retail and attainable homeownership options.

The consultant outlined two conceptual approaches for each station. Mill Creek concepts explored 4–5 story mixed-use buildings near the station, with townhomes stepping down to adjacent neighborhoods and a potential community park in one alternative. For Meadowbrook, diagrams showed mixed-use infill on UTA parcels, structured parking, and a potential rec center or senior-supportive services on the former community college site.

On transportation and safety, the presentation noted constraints on 3300 South because it is a UDOT-controlled highway and carries large truck volumes today; consultants said they will work with UDOT and UTA on measures to improve pedestrian crossings and north-south connectivity. \"3300 is going to be a challenge,\" Giddes said, adding that a transportation planner is on the project team to analyze traffic and multimodal options.

Public participation and next steps: staff said the survey will be promoted on the project story map and via flyers; responses will be geographically tagged so staff can filter comments from residents within or near the half-mile study radii. The consultant said the city expects to return to council in August or September with draft recommendations and noted final plan certification with UTA and state review will extend the schedule into late 2025 so the city can meet the state adoption deadline.

Councilmembers and residents asked whether outreach would prioritize current residents and whether UTA would consider rail operations (including freight movements) when housing is planned near tracks; the presentation said the survey collects location information to let staff parse responses by proximity and that questions to UTA about freight operations can be raised in future outreach with the agency.

Ending note: the consultant emphasized that the schematics are preliminary and that staff and the consultant will refine concepts based on survey input before returning for official review and certification.","Design Workshop and city staff presented draft concepts and a public survey for two station-area plans covering Meadowbrook and Mill Creek stations; survey launches July 11 and closes July 27, and the city must adopt station-area plans by the end of 2025.","actionData","errors"]
