  1. January 9, 2024 · City Council work session

    Rezone at 357 and 375 East 500 South and 460-466 South 400 East

    Discussed

    The council was briefed on a request to rezone the properties from RMU-45 to TSA-UC-C (Transit Station Area Urban Center Core). The Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation and no development plans were submitted with the application. The applicant said the intended project is 54 market-rate two-bedroom units. Council members questioned affordability and the public benefit of extra height, and some said adding units alone did not justify a rezone and raised precedent concerns; the applicant said requiring affordable housing would keep the project from moving forward. The council asked the applicants to return with options for community benefits.
