Parley's Foothill Development Committee Report on Walmart

Report of the Parley’s Foothill Development Committee (PFDC)

Two petitions have been filed with Salt Lake City for the property at 2705 E Parley’s Way. The petitions are dated June 22, 2007. Petition 400-07-15 is a master plan amendment, and 400-07-16 is a zoning map amendment. The petition is requesting a zoning change from Community Business to Community Shopping.

At the November 7, 2007 meeting of the Sugar House Community Council, the Council unanimously by acclamation passed a motion which stated, “The Sugar House Community Council opposes the Salt Lake City Zoning Map Amendment Application for 2705 E. Parley’s Way, at this time, because the change is not supported by the East Bench Master Plan.” On February 19, 2008, at a special meeting of the Sugar House Community Council after a Wal-Mart presentation at the request of Wal-Mart, this motion was re-affirmed by acclamation

The council wants the zoning to be consistent with that recommended in the East Bench Master Plan, dated April 1987. In the Non-Residential Land Use section of that plan, it says, “Major zoning changes in the East Bench Community are neither anticipated nor encouraged. Changes involving expansion of existing business sites in response to documented needs should be reviewed cautiously and approved sparingly. … The community is so completely developed that a change of zoning in most areas would negatively impact surrounding residential properties.”
