REGULAR AGENDAItem 2

Ballpark Zoning Map Amendment and Text Amendment

Mayor Mendenhall has initiated a petition to rezone city-owned properties at approximately 55 W Paxton, 77 W 1300 S, 1355 S West Temple, 1357 S West Temple, and 1356 S Main St from PL (Public Lands) to MU-11 (Mixed Use 11), 1381 S West Temple from PL (Public Lands) and RMF-35 (Moderate Density Residential Multi-Family) to MU-11 (Mixed Use 11) and MU-5 (Mixed Use 5), and 1395 S West Temple, and 1397 S West Temple from RMF-35 (Moderate Density Residential Multi-Family) to MU-5 (Mixed Use 5). The proposal includes text amendments to the MU-11 standards relating to this site and the removal of the Ballpark sign overlay. The requests are intended to establish zoning regulations that align with the Ballpark NEXT Community Design Plan, which was completed by the Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA) and adopted by the CRA Board. The subject properties are located within Council District 5, represented by Erika Carlsen.
