Northwest Community Plan Update

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.

Expanding Housing Options

Salt Lake City Planning has recently launched Expanding Housing Options (EHO). EHO is a change to zoning rules in the R-1, R-2, SR-1, and SR-1A zoning districts that would give property owners in lower-density neighborhoods more options for how they use their property. The changes would create gentle infill opportunities to build more types of housing, like smaller homes and townhomes, while still preserving the character and unique qualities of each neighborhood. This initiative does not require anyone to build new housing but provides options to those who wish to do so.
