Salt Lake City Planning Division Appeals Hearing - May 21, 2026

The Salt Lake City Planning Division held an appeals hearing on May 21, 2026, concerning zoning violations related to alleged short-term rental activities at two properties: 1544 East Tomahawk Drive and 1883 South 700 East. The hearing involved detailed discussions between city attorneys and the appellant regarding evidence of short-term rental use, including data from rental platforms, tenant testimonies, lease agreements, and neighborhood complaints. The city presented evidence supporting the issuance of notices and orders for violations, while the appellant contested the validity of the evidence, emphasizing that leases were for 30 days or longer and arguing that advertising on short-term rental platforms did not equate to illegal short-term rentals. The appellant also raised concerns about due process and the burden of proof. Both parties agreed to submit additional written materials limited to 10 pages. The hearing officer confirmed the proceeding was recorded and would be posted for review. No final decision was recorded during this session.
