A plan that would drastically change downtown Salt Lake City with a "sports, entertainment, culture and convention district" surrounding a remodeled Delta Center has cleared its first major hurdle.

The Salt Lake City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to endorse a partnership agreement with Smith Entertainment Group — the parent owner of the Utah Jazz and Utah Hockey Club — on a downtown revitalization plan on Tuesday. The vote sends the proposed 136-page document to a state committee for approval before the agreement can be finalized.

If the agreement is finalized, the City Council will vote later this year on whether to approve a 0.5% sales tax increase and proposed zoning changes to accommodate the plan's development.

"This is a good agreement that brings good things to the city," said Salt Lake City Council Chairwoman Victoria Petro, prior to the meeting. "As we move forward with this, I'm sorry for the people who feel against and the fear, but I've moved from fear to determination. … It is scary and big, but it's in the best interest."
