Central Community Plan Update

Salt Lake City is updating the Central Community Plan, which was last adopted in 2005. This update will establish a vision for the Central Community for the next 15 years and align local goals and policies with Plan Salt Lake. Your feedback will play a key role in creating a plan that reflects the needs and values of the Central Community. Learn about the plan update, upcoming engagement events, and take our online survey.

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.
