LUZ Reports

Dixon Building - The building was approved by the Planning Commission October 12 with conditions as to the design of the first floor along  the north and east sides. Amy and I met with the architects November 23 and we think they are moving in the right direction to get it to a more pedestrian friendly scale along those two sides.  They submitted a drawing to planning to meet their deadline, but will have a much more final drawing available before the December 14 Planning Commission meeting. Tenants still in the Highland Plaza Building won’t be out until January 30. We expect construction will begin in February or March.

On the March 9 Planning Commission Agenda, there was a Master Plan and Zoning Map Amendment at approximately 1964 S 900 E – A request by Cottonwood Residential to amend the master plan and zoning map designation of eight properties near the intersection of Ramona Avenue and 900 E.  The Planning Commission unanimously denied the request.  We recently received word from Salt Lake City Planning that the developers have withdrawn this request.  We don’t know if they might develop the parcels  that they already own, without asking for a rezone.
