Northwest Community Plan Update

Salt Lake City is updating the Northwest Community Plan, originally adopted in 1992. This update aims to establish a vision for the Northwest Community for the next 15 years and to align the overall plan with Plan Salt Lake. The plan will also include a the North Temple Station Area Plan, for those TRAX Stations located within the Plan area. 

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!

The Northwest Community is evolving, and your input is essential to help guide its future development. 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.
