Nick Norris
Planning Director
Salt Lake City
Nick Norris is the Planning Director for the Salt Lake City. He is passionate about the city and is motivated to improve the quality of life for all of its citizens. Nick is constantly looking at improving how things are done and despises doing things “the way they have always been done.” He enjoys helping people find workable solutions to complex land use and development issues. Nick has been involved in a variety of planning activities in his career, including a strategic and measured update to the Salt Lake City zoning ordinance, working on people oriented development, preservation of sensitive lands and historic buildings, revamping the city’s master plan program, and leading an amazing team. At some point in the past, he became a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners. When he is able to get away from the daily grind, Nick is usually spending his free time in the outdoors, running the trails in the foothills, biking up the canyons, or skiing in the backcountry (usually before the sun comes up). Nick graduated from the University of Utah and has been involved in urban planning since 2001.
