The Council will set the date of Tuesday, February 20, 2024 at 7 p.m. to accept public
comment and 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.
