Earlier this summer, the Planning Division completed the first phase of outreach for the Northwest Community Plan. Through surveys and in-person events, we heard from residents about what they value most, the challenges they face, and their ideas for the future.

Using this community input, staff have developed the Draft Northwest Community Plan, which also includes an update to the North Temple Station Area Plan. The draft outlines a shared vision for the Northwest community, identifies core values, sets a framework for implementation, and establishes targets and metrics to guide progress over the next 15 years.

Applications Submitted Using the MU Zoning Districts: The recently adopted mixed use and commercial zoning district consolidation project was adopted by the City Council on July 8, 2025. Subject to further action by the City Council, the changes go into effect on October 8, 2025.

Applicants wishing to submit applications utilizing the MU zoning districts and changes associated with the consolidation project may submit applications and the city will start processing those applications on a preliminary basis as a courtesy to reduce processing times. However, no applications submitted prior to October 8, 2025 will be deemed complete by the city or establish any vesting rights under Utah or Salt Lake City code and no applications will be approved or permits issued until the effective date of October 8, 2025. Applicants must indicate that they intend to use the MU zones on their application.

Salt Lake City is proposing to update the RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family) and RMF-45 (Moderate/High Density Multi-Family) zoning districts.

This change aims to promote the development of more affordable and attainable housing while supporting residents in existing moderate-density neighborhoods. The primary focus is to fulfill the intent of the RMF-35 and RMF-45 zoning districts by facilitating more moderate-density housing, while retaining neighborhood character and preserving existing units.
