    Consent: public hearing dates set

    Approved · 6-0

    The Council set February 7, 2023 hearings on the rezone at about 704 East 900 South, the Rocky Mountain Power rezone at 1223 West North Temple, the ADU text amendment and a land exchange at 592 N. Riverside Drive for the Bridge to Backman project; set a February 21 hearing on the Urban Forest Action Plan; and set a March 7 hearing on landscape material (turf) limits. The Planning Commission forwarded a negative recommendation on the 704 East 900 South rezone, so no ordinance had been drafted. The Riverside Drive exchange would transfer open space for $0 to Riverwood Cove, LLC for another open space parcel of equal size, to enable a public park, outdoor classroom and a walking and biking connection to Backman Elementary and to resolve an encroachment.

    The proposal would rezone 1223 West North Temple and parts of three neighboring properties from M-1 light manufacturing and TSA-SP-C to TSA-Urban Center-Core to accommodate new Rocky Mountain Power headquarters. Staff said the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval and described riparian corridor protections. The company's team said groundbreaking on Phase I is planned for spring or summer 2023, with a full-site master plan process to follow.
