SH LUZ Report 2016 April

Verizon Wireless –2066 South 2100 East At the LUZ meeting April 18 , we had a presentation and the land use committee agreed to forward a favorable recommendation to the Planning Commission for an (antenna) on the top of the building at NW corner of 2100 South and 2300 East  (Former Great Harvest location). The utility box will be at the rear of the building, and this antenna will be about 10 feet high and barely visible from the street.  The LUZ took a vote and decided that this was straightforward and did not need to come to the SHCC for a presentation.  I have written a letter to the Planning Commission recommending approval.

SH Fire Station #3 – I think we will be able to have a discussion with the city to explain our position that the new Fire Station design needs to look more like the traditional Sugar House, so it fits into the neighborhood better.  The planner has asked to come and address the Sugar House Community Council at the June meeting, and there may be other opportunities to make an impact.

Westminster College Rezone on 1300 East The City Council had this on their Work Session yesterday, and feedback I got indicated there was not much support for this, except for Lisa Adams.  This will be on the May 24 City Council meeting for a Public Hearing at 7 p.m.  The Council is tentatively scheduled to take action June 7.

Sugar House Streetcar Corridor Master Plan and Zoning Amendment – We have not seen this for about 15 months.  We wrote our first letter to Planning in December of 2012, so this project has taken 3 1/2 years.  We have put the reports on our website right on the slider, so you can look at it.This is a pretty major rezone of a number of parcels, and form-based code is new to Sugar House.  This will be on the May 24 City Council meeting for a Public Hearing at 7 p.m.  The Council is tentatively scheduled to take action June 7.

Cornell Appeal at approximately 1724 E 2700 South – Amir Cornell the owner of the residential property located at the above listed property has filed an Appeal of the Planning Commission decision PLNPCM2015-01034 that determined a second accessory structure (shed) on the subject parcel must be removed in order to not exceed the maximum accessory structure coverage of 720 square feet. The subject parcel is zoned R-1/7000 (Single-Family Residential) and is located within Council District 7, represented by Lisa Ramsey Adams. (Staff contact: Chris Lee at 801-535-7706 or [email protected]) Case Number PLNZAD2016-000  (NOTE:  THIS APPEAL WAS DENIED.)

3120 Richmond Street – The request was to rezone the parcel from RO Residential Office to CB.  The Planning Commission voted to forward a negative recommendation to the City Council.  The planner said that Richmond Street and 3300 South would have a light rail stop and the higher zoning was warranted.  This came out of the Wasatch Front Regional Council Plan, and is planned for some 30 years from now.

Trolley Wings application for a club liquor license will be on the May 11 meeting of the  Planning Commission (APPROVED)

974 East 2100 South – John Gardiner has filed an application for 150 apartments on the corner, taking up the parcel where Subway and the school supply businesses are now located.  We have not yet seen the plans.
