Residential) and SR-3 (Special Development Pattern Residential) to R-1/5,000 (Single-
Family Residential) and SR-3 (Special Development Pattern Residential). The proposal

proposal would close the alley to public use and allow the property owner of three of the

owner also supports the alley vacation.) The alley cannot be used as a mid-block
connection because the 900 South viaduct is directly to the south. Located within Council

with the Historic Preservation Overlay District. Petition No.: PLNPCM2025-
00320.
• Street Vacation: Street vacation for a 130-foot-wide and 530-foot-long portion of

West High School's campus. This application would vacate public ownership and
interest of a portion of the street. Petition No.: PLNPCM2025-00321.

4. Ordinance: Zoning Map Amendment for Delta Center Arena Parking Garage
at Approximately 301 West South Temple
The Council will consider adopting an ordinance that would approve a Master
Development Agreement for the construction of the Delta Center parking garage at
approximately 301 West South Temple. The proposal includes the construction of a
seven-story parking garage with approximately 452 parking stalls at the southwest corner
of the site, which is intended to provide parking for patrons of the Delta Center Arena
and improve the site's functionality. The applicant is requesting approval of the
development agreement associated with the project, which establishes specific rules for
constructing the parking garage at the Delta Center Arena. If approved, the proposed
development agreement could supersede several of the City's rules and regulations.

(ARP) funds. Since these funds were allocated in 2024, Housing Stability Division staff
and the service providers have recognized the need for case management to support
some of the households receiving Tenant-Based Rental Assistance. Shifting funds to the
Supportive Services category will enable the contracted organizations to provide this
additional service while remaining within the City’s existing HUD allocation.
