We have received the application for CVS on the NW corner of 2100 South and 1300 East.  They are asking for permission to vacate a public alley.  They are also requesting a re-zone of the two properties located at 2046 and 2036 South 1300 East in order to allow parking in support of the proposed retail use.  The project will go from Residential Office to Community Business.  This will allow the entire project to

That is a fair question. I first got involved in the community council because I wanted to stay on top of all the development going on in my neck of the woods. Little by little I saw how my participation had the potential to make a difference in my community. I met some amazing people that had been giving their time and talents for years to the community without recognition or fanfare and I realized my belief that one person can make a difference was right in front of me. I have viewed the community council as a voice for our neighborhoods, but more importantly an avenue by which to help others participate and learn more about what goes on. To that end we try and do outreach to keep you all up to date, but we are all volunteers and many of us have full-time jobs so it can be challenging. But we all believe it matters.
The City Council held a briefing today for the Sugar House Streetcar Corridor Master Plan and Zoning Amendments.  This would amend the Sugar House Master Plan, and the zoning ordinance to create Streetcar Corridor form-based zoning districts, and amending the zoning map to show locations of FB-SC (form-based streetcar core) and FB-SE (form-based streetcar edge) zoning districts.

February 2015 [caption id="attachment_1196" align="alignleft" width="107"]Amy Barry Amy Barry[/caption] Local First CVS Pharmacy is purchasing the property at 1300 E 2100 S where the car wash currently sits.  Representatives of this project will be at the February 4th meeting so you can come and learn more and comment. While CVS pharmacy folks have been very open and receptive to our ideas and feedback many of the comments I have received have been the lament of another chain store in the neighborhood.  One of the reasons I love living in Sugar House is the eclectic combination of locally owned stores, but I know that many prefer chains as well.  I hope we have a community big enough for all of them.
