This plan represents the community’s vision and goals to be realized over the next 20 years. The Ballpark neighborhood is located near the center of Salt Lake City, Utah, and is approximately 1,172.9 acres, or 1.65% of Salt Lake City’s total land area. The neighborhood is bounded by 900 South on the north, State Street on the east, 2100 South on the south, and the I-15 freeway on the west. Due to its proximity to downtown and current neighborhood amenities, including the Bees’ baseball stadium, Ballpark is in a position to expand significantly with the projected growth of Utah’s population in the coming decades. Ballpark is on the cusp of redevelopment and reinvigoration, spearheaded by dedicated community members. This master plan serves to guide the community’s current and future residents toward a cohesive and inclusive neighborhood, well-connected and integrated with all that Salt Lake City and the surrounding region has to offer. Current Conditions The Ballpark Neighborhood Master Plan process began with identifying existing conditions regarding demographics, housing, land use, and ownership, transportation, community facilities and businesses, and urban design within the Ballpark area. The current conditions of each sector are illustrated in detail throughout this report and include how they affect the lived experiences of Ballpark’s residents and Salt Lake City at-large. Ballpark lies geographically just south of downtown Salt Lake City. This location affords Ballpark the position of leveraging its economic assets while continuing to provide for its long-term and short-term residents and managing traffic through the neighborhood. There are several other community improvement efforts affecting areas in and near Ballpark including the Life on State corridor plan, the City’s Affordable Housing Overlay, the Fleet Block rezone, and rapid redevelopment in the Granary District; these projects are complementary to the vision for Ballpark and the future land use recommendations outlined in this report. Findings from the analysis of the existing conditions will provide a useful benchmark for Ballpark as it anticipates growth and will be advantageous when the neighborhood considers future land use decisions. Community Engagement The primary data source for this report’s analyses was a survey produced by the University of Utah’s Plan Making class which was distributed at a Ballpark Community Council meeting, via an email link, and linked on various social media pages. Most responses were collected online through Google Forms, and a small number of paper surveys were completed at the Ballpark Community Council meeting on February 6, 2020. The Ballpark survey yielded over 50 responses which informed the creation of the Vision and Focus Area sections of this report. Local and regional news articles and their comment sections, online ratings for businesses and places, and prior surveys and plans were used as secondary data sources for community insights to the Ballpark neighborhood. These comments were used to represent and supplement opinions and findings from Ballpark residents that may not have been captured by community surveys or public participation. 4 Vision The community vision for the Ballpark Neighborhood is a safe, vibrant, diverse, connected, and accessible neighborhood that welcomes new growth while preserving the existing sense of community. Safe- Residents will feel safe in their homes and throughout their community, and the neighborhood will be perceived as a safe area of the city. Vibrant- The Ballpark Neighborhood will be a destination for culture, arts, and entertainment that will be economically thriving and attractive to new businesses and visitors. Diverse- The neighborhood will include a wide variety of land uses, amenities, and housing types to serve the needs of its diverse residents. Connected and Accessible- The Ballpark Neighborhood will be a “gateway to the City” that feels both physically and socially connected to the rest of the City as well as internally. Balanced- The neighborhood will welcome new growth while preserving the existing sense of community. Focus Areas The strategies to implement the plan’s vision are organized into five key Focus Areas. These focus areas represent discrete yet related planning issues that are integral to this neighborhood plan. Each focus area is then further divided into more specific Guiding Principles, which are key values or objectives that will help direct decision-makers as they facilitate change in the neighborhood. Reimagining Main Street is the focus area considering land use in the Ballpark neighborhood. It consists of four guiding principles: encourage small business development, create gateways to the neighborhood at specific intersections, promote mixed-use development along the Main Street corridor, and create lively public spaces. The second focus area is Creating Housing Opportunities for Current and Future Neighbors. This focus area is concerned with housing conditions in the neighborhood. Its four guiding principles are: plan for gentle density, increase housing opportunities along 300 West, create transit-oriented communities (TOCs), and turn blighted lots into opportunities for affordable housing. Increasing Mobility Options is the focus area addressing transportation in the Ballpark neighborhood. It is organized under the following guiding principles: improve the bicycling network, improve the public transit network, improve pedestrian safety, and improve pedestrian comfort. The fourth focus area is Greening Ballpark. This section concerns the effort to provide outdoor green and recreational spaces for the people of Ballpark to enjoy. Its guiding principles are to create spaces for community gardens, beautify the neighborhood’s alleys, integrate privately- owned public spaces (POPS) along the neighborhood’s corridors, and ensure that all Ballpark residents live close to these spaces. 5 The fifth and final focus area in this report is Creating Vibrant Transit Station Areas.

  • Salt Lake City Arts Council Strategic Plan
    2017-2020 Salt Lake City Arts Council Strategic Plan 2017-2020 Introduction The Salt Lake City Council on the Arts was formed in 1976 at the request of Mayor Ted Wilson, who appointed its first Executive Director. The Council was created to help distribute funds to arts organizations within the City, taking the burden off the City Commission. By 1979 a nonprofit entity, The Salt Lake Arts Council Foundation, was established to manage funds designated for the arts organization and also begin programming of their own. The two staff members of the Foundation were City employees. In 1981, this new group moved into the Art Barn, located in the City’s Reservoir Park, when the space was vacated by the Salt Lake Arts Center. From that initial beginning, the organization now has six full-time City employees who, together with the Foundation board, have grown the original concept into a significant cultural entity in the City. The Salt Lake City Arts Council is the City’s designated local arts agency and uses its unique position as manager of both public and received-grant resources to leverage how the arts are supported and presented to the City. Through its work, the Council has created enduring connections between the arts and the public, cultivated future artists and arts organizations, given voice to community arts conversations and needs, provided resources for arts programming, offered education about the arts as well as support of arts education efforts, and impacted City policy affecting the arts. It has developed its own programs, as well, that have endured for decades and serve as models for other arts programming.

  • Non-Mormon Presence in 1880S Utah
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Earth and Mineral Sciences THE WASP IN THE BEEHIVE: NON-MORMON PRESENCE IN 1880S UTAH A Thesis in Geography by Samuel A. Smith c 2008 Samuel A. Smith Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science August 2008 The thesis of Samuel A. Smith was read and approved1 by the following: Deryck W. Holdsworth Professor of Geography Thesis Adviser Roger Downs Professor of Geography Karl Zimmerer Professor of Geography Head of the Department of Geography 1. Signatures on file in the Graduate School. iii Abstract Recent studies have reconsidered the Mormon Culture Region in light of its 1880{1920 transition to American political and economic norms. While these studies emphasize conflicts between the Mormon establishment and the non-Mormon federal government, Mormon/non-Mormon relations within Utah have received little direct attention. Based on religious affiliations recorded in the 1880 federal census of Utah Territory, this study uses historical GIS to visualize the composition of Utah's \Mormon" and \non-Mormon" towns. The results highlight the extensive presence of religious minorities in Utah's settlements. Case studies of farm villages, mining camps, and urban neighborhoods probe the social and economic contexts of non-Mormon presence in Utah. These studies, based on Sanborn maps and city directories, explore the geographical mosaic of Mormon and non-Mormon residence and business activity. These variegated patterns, often absent from historical accounts of the region, enable localized analyses of the ensuing decades of cultural conflict, transformation and assimilation. Keywords: Mormons, non-Mormons, Mormon Culture Region, Utah, 1880 Cen- sus, historical demography.

  • Weber County to Salt Lake Commuter Rail Project; Salt Lake City, Utah
    FrontRunner North Rail Project Before-and-After Study (2013) Salt Lake City, Utah Learn more: www.transit.dot.gov/before-and-after-studies Weber County to Salt Lake Commuter Rail Project; Salt Lake City, Utah The Weber County to Salt Lake Commuter Rail Project, known as FrontRunner North, is a 44- mile commuter rail line extending north from downtown Salt Lake City through Ogden to the northern end of Weber County at Pleasant View, Utah. The project was planned, developed, and built by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). FrontRunner North is the first commuter rail service in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. UTA operates the commuter rail line as part of a region- wide transit system that includes local and express buses, bus rapid transit, and light rail. In early 2013, UTA opened FrontRunner South, a 40-mile extension of the commuter rail line extending south from downtown Salt Lake City to Orem, Utah. In September 2001, an alternatives analysis identified commuter rail in the north-south corridor as the preferred alternative for transit improvements in the corridor. The project entered preliminary engineering (PE) in December 2003, and advanced into final design (FD) in June 2005. UTA and FTA executed a Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) for the project in June 2006. The project opened to service in May 2008. The accompanying figure is a map of FrontRunner North and the corridor it serves. Physical scope of the project The project extends over 44 miles from the Salt Lake Intermodal Center just west of downtown Salt Lake City to the northern terminus at the Pleasant View Station.
