Area (CBIA) in 1991 as a mechanism to fund marketing, promotions, advocacy, and other
initiatives in Downtown Salt Lake City through a special assessment on commercial property
within a designated area. This approval would re-establish a special assessment on properties
within the same boundaries as 2019 for a three-year period and it breaks out a second
assessment for holiday lighting (same boundaries as 2019, maps attached). This process is the
final action by the City Council to establish the CBIA-22 which would begin on April 22, 2022.

days, but only in exceptional cases. These permits would be made available only if the Mayor
approves any such special event for a reason identified in writing. Note that although these
amendments would affect sections of Code titled “Sale of Significant Parcels of Real
Property” (Section 2.58.040), and “Removal of Lands from the Open Space Lands
Inventory” (Section 2.90.070), the proposed amendments would make no changes to the
