Intended Environmental Impact Statement, The Guadalupe
Neighborhood Project, City of Salt Lake City, Utah
The Department of Housing and Urban Development gives notice that
the City of Salt Lake City, Utah, Capital Planning and Programming
Division, intends to prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the Guadalupe Neighborhood Project having a total of
approximately 120 acres. This Notice is in accordance with regulations
of the Council on Environmental Quality as described in 40 CFR Parts
1500--1508. Federal agencies having jurisdiction by law, special
expertise, or other special interest should report their interests and
indicate their readiness to aid in the EIS effort as a ``Cooperating
Agency''.
A Daft Environmental Impact Statement will be completed for the
proposed action described herein. Comments relating to the Draft EIS
are requested and will be accepted by the contact person listed below.
When the Draft EIS is completed, a notice will be sent to individuals
and groups known to have an interest in the project and to appropriate
local, State, and Federal agencies. The purpose of this notice will be
to solicit comments on the Draft EIS and particularly on the
environmental impact issues identified therein. Any person or agency
interested in receiving a notice and making comment on the Draft EIS
should contact the person listed below.
Title of action: The Guadalupe Neighborhood Project.
Location: From North Temple Street to 600 North and from 500 West
to Interstate 15 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Including 120 acres.
The project currently includes both residential and commercial
uses. Commercial areas are located primarily along major street
frontages, 600 North, 500 West, and North Temple, while the remainder
of the area is occupied by residential uses.
Description of Action
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement will examine the social,
economic and environmental impacts on Salt Lake City of projects
proposed in the Guadalupe Neighborhood. The EIS will also examine what
social, economic, and environmental impact the surrounding area will
have on the Guadalupe Neighborhood.
The purpose of the Guadalupe Neighborhood Project is to have a
positive impact on the social and economic conditions and trends in the
area. This will be accomplished with the assistance of City programs
and the use of some Federal funds.
The focus will be on four areas.
1. Demolition of dilapidated residential structures;
2. Rehabilitation of certain other residential structures;
3. Construction of new affordable residential units; and
4. Development of affordable, special use, housing.
Need for the EIS
Environmental Assessments for specific projects within the area
have identified certain noise concerns. The project area has a freeway
on the west boundary and railroad tracks on the east boundary. The EIS
will specifically address noise issues.
Alternatives
Alternative #1--No Project. The project site would remain in its
current state under this alternative. A majority of the project area
would remain undeveloped with many of the existing residential units in
need of repair.
Alternative #2--Relocate Project Area. Federal funds would be used
to assist in the development of affordable housing in another target
area within the City.
Alternative #3--The Proposed Project. This alternative would
include the development of the Guadalupe Neighborhood as outlined
above. Incorporating any necessary mitigation identified in the EIS.
Scoping
This Notice is part of the process used for scoping the EIS.
Responses will help determine significant environmental issues,
identify data which the EIS should address, and help identify
cooperating agencies.
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement will be published upon
completion and will be on file, and available for public inspection at
the address listed below. Copies may also be obtained, upon request, at
the same address.
