Background information
In May, 2000, Mayor Billings appointed a seven-member citizens ad hoc committee to study and make recommendations on actions on the South Joaquin neighborhood. The committee's charge was to find ways to both stabilize and enhance the functioning of that portion of the Joaquin neighborhood south of 5th North. The impetus for establishing this committee came from a number of sources including the following:
- The study for a high-density "student village" north of 500 north to BYU
- Council concerns about the functioning of central city neighborhoods
- A neighborhood request to include the South Joaquin area in the SCAMP moratorium boundary
- Neighborhood interest in preserving the area's unique mix of historic housing
The committee has met approximately six times and has been assisted in their investigations by staff from the Community Development and Legal Departments.
