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.

Updated: April 15, 2026

Public comments are accepted throughout all phases of the engagement process, up until a decision is made. While comments may be submitted at any time, submitting them as early as possible provides more opportunity for staff review and consideration.

In order for comments to be included in the staff report, comments must be received by 12:00 PM on the Wednesday one week prior to the public meeting. Comments received after this deadline will be forwarded to the commission but will not be included in the staff report.

All public comments received will be added to the official record associated with the plan update.

Public Engagement Timeline

Public engagement timeline with three phases: Phase 1 (Summer–Fall 2025), Phase 2 (Fall 2025–Spring 2026), and Phase 3 (Spring–Summer 2026).

Phase 1 - Opportunities & Issues

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

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

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.
