Avenues Community Plan Update
Salt Lake City is updating the Avenues Community Plan, last updated in 1987. This update aims to establish a vision for the Avenues Community for the next 15 years and align the community plan with Plan Salt Lake.
What is a Community Plan?
Community Plans help shape how a community should look, feel, and function in the future. While the City’s General Plan, Plan Salt Lake, sets the big-picture vision, Community Plans focus on the local details—what makes each area unique and how it should grow and change to support that citywide vision.
These plans aren’t laws or zoning rules. They serve as a roadmap to guide future decisions about growth, development, and community priorities.
We want to hear from you!
Your input is essential! Whether you’re interested in parks, housing, transportation, or community services, your feedback will play a key role in creating a plan that reflects the needs and values of everyone in our community.

Public Engagement Timeline
Phase 1 - Opportunities & Issues
Summer/Fall 2025
The first phase of engagement will focus on learning from the community—hearing about likes, challenges, ideas, and opportunities. Input will be gathered on topics such as housing, historic preservation, neighborhood amenities, parks, and transportation.
Phase 2 - Big Ideas
Fall/Winter 2025
In this phase, we’re building on what we heard in Phase 1. Community feedback and current conditions are being reviewed together to identify common themes and shape draft initiatives—specific actions that can be taken to address community priorities and citywide goals. In short: what we heard, what we learned, and how we’ll move from ideas to action.
Phase 3 - Final Vision
Winter 2025 | Spring 2026
This final phase is focused on the Draft Vision—a plan that reflects the ideas and priorities shared throughout the process. This stage focuses on refining the community plan through public input, meetings, and hearings before it’s finalized and adopted.
Phases
Council Review
Once the proposal is sent to the City Council, Council Members and staff review it to understand what it would do and how it might affect residents and neighborhoods. This includes briefings from City departments, background information, and a review of public input gathered earlier in the process.
As the proposal moves forward, we will post updates here about Council meeting dates and the next steps in the review process as soon as they are scheduled.
