Item WM · Zoning
Work meeting: Holladay Crossroads update
Discussed
Staff said only one parcel is zoned Holladay Crossroads because properties were not overlaid automatically; separate ownership and shared access are the main barriers to redevelopment, and the 2017 projection of 600 residential units and 1,000 jobs is outdated.
