29 Oct SHCC LUZ REPORT NOV 2025
On October 22, the Planning Commission reviewed the application for the SUGAR HOUSE HOTEL. After much discussion, they approved the proposal 7-1. Amy Barry was the only one who voted against the proposal. You can go to our website www.sugarhousecouncil.org, look for committees across the top and on the left, look for Sugar House Hotel. There you can see the details of the project, the staff report, the many comments we received, the letter I wrote, and watch a You Tube recording of the meeting. It will go to the City Council for a final decision. That probably won’t happen until January, after the new City Council people are elected.
There were also articles in Building Salt Lake, the Salt Lake Tribune, and Deseret News.
At our October 20 Land Use Meeting, we discussed a proposal for an Aveda Vocational School at the former LDS Ward at 855 E Garfield Avenue. The ward runs between Downington and Garfield. We did flyer the neighborhood, had some neighbors at our meeting, and have been getting a lot of comments. There are concerns about additional traffic in a neighborhood that has an increasing number of children. There is also concern about parking. The school will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Customers will also be coming in for haircuts etc, and to buy products. If you go on our website, you can read about the project and fill out a comment form. Comments will be taken until November 18.
On our November 17 Land Use Meeting at 6 p.m. at Sprague, we have two items so far. There is a partial alley vacation 2191 S 2000 East (be posted in the morning).
We will also have a presentation about the details of the Sugar House Streetcar Extension going into the Sugar House Center across Highland Drive. We won’t have any drawings until maybe after that meeting.
