No. 26 of 2014
(Closing a portion of 300 South Street
between 500 West and 600 West Streets)
An ordinance closing a portion of 300 South Street as a public right-of-way between 500 West and 600 West Streets, pursuant to Petition No. PLNPCM2013-00882.
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Planning Commission held a public hearing on December 11, 2013 to consider a request made by the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City (“Applicant”) (Petition No. PLNPCM2013-00882) to close a portion of 300 South Street between 500 West and 600 West Streets to reduce the width of that street from approximately 132 feet to approximately 82 feet in order to exchange that portion of right-of-way with the Applicant for infrastructure improvements and/or other valuable consideration; and
WHEREAS, Applicant intends to use the subject portion of 300 West Street for increased pedestrian activity use by the public; and
WHEREAS, at its December 11, 2013 hearing, the planning commission voted in favor of forwarding a positive recommendation on said petition to the Salt Lake City Council; and
WHEREAS, the city council finds after holding a public hearing on this matter, that the city’s interest in the portion of city-owned public right-of-way described below is not presently necessary for use by the public as a street and that closing a portion of that city-owned right-of-way will not be adverse to the general public’s interest; and
