3. Ordinance: Jordan River Fairpark District Zoning Map & Text Amendment
The Council will consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the City's zoning
ordinance by creating a new zoning district known as the Jordan River Fairpark (JRF)
District at approximately 1500 West North Temple and bounded by the Jordan River,
Redwood Road, North Temple, and Interstate 15. The proposal would rezone
approximately 93 acres across 32 parcels into a single zone to support the area's
redevelopment. The project is located within Council District 2. Petitioner: Snell &
Wilmer, representing Larry H. Miller Development. Petition No.:PLNPCM2024-00982.
1. Zoning Map & Text Amendment: The JRF district would allow buildings up to 400
feet tall. No minimum lot size, setbacks, or open space requirements are proposed,
and developments would be exempt from meeting the City's general plans.
2. Development Agreement: The proposed Development Agreement addresses access
to the Jordan River, open space, roads, and infrastructure improvements and
establishes review processes for development applications. Under new state law,
an agreement must be reached by December 31, 2024, for expedited land use
reviews related to a qualified stadium and related uses. If no agreement is made,
the JRF District will not be subject to the City's zoning regulations.

F. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
1. Municipal Services Interlocal Agreement between Salt Lake City and the
Utah Fairpark Area Investment and Restoration District
The Council will consider approving an interlocal agreement between Salt Lake City and
the Utah Fairpark Area Investment and Restoration District to provide municipal
services, such as water, sewer, police, fire, and homelessness assistance to the Fairpark
District boundary.
In 2024, the Utah State legislature passed House Bill 562, the Utah Fairpark Area
Investment and Restoration District (the Act), which created the Fairpark District and,
among other things, requires the City and the District enter into an agreement by
December 31, 2024. This interlocal agreement provides that the District reimburse the
City for the cost of municipal services. This reimbursement would be in addition to the
City receiving the base taxable value and 25% of the enhanced property tax from the
Fairpark District boundary.

2. Resolution: Ranked Choice Voting for 2025 Municipal Election
The Council will consider approving a resolution to participate in the State-authorized
Municipal Alternative Voting Method Pilot Program project, otherwise known as ranked
choice voting or instant runoff voting. Under ranked choice voting, voters rank the
candidates in order of preference. Election equipment counts the preference numbers for
each ballot. If none of the candidates receive more than 50% of the overall vote after the
first round, the candidate with the least number of votes is eliminated. The voters who
had selected the eliminated candidate as their first choice would then have their votes
counted for their second-choice candidate. This process of elimination continues until a
candidate crosses the 50% threshold and is declared the winner.
