Benefits Analysis Follow-up

The Council will receive a follow-up briefing about a resolution that would authorize 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.
