SH LUZ REPORT 2021 SEPTEMBER

SH LUZ REPORT 2021 SEPTEMBER

The August 25 meeting of the SLC Planning Commission had three projects of interest to Sugar House.  First was the request to allow Rooftop Commercial Uses In FB-SE Zone (Form-Based Special Purpose Streetcar Edge).  You can read the proposal, including the staff report here.  This is on Planning Commission for August 25 a 5:30 pm.

The second item was Tech Related Land Uses Amendment. The tech industry is growing, and this is to clearly define which uses will be allowed where in our city.  This is a collaborative project between Planning and the Department of Economic Development.  You can read the proposal, including the staff report here.  You can send me a comment about this project, using the form. This is also on the Planning Commission for August 25.

The Planning Commission meeting starts at 5:30. You can attend via zoom, and listen or make a comment.  Here is the agenda and instructions.  If you wish to speak, you will have two minutes. You can send an email to planning.comments@slcgov.com and let them know.  Or you can use that same link to make a comment and ask that it be read to the Commission.

The third item was an ADU at 2274 S Green Street.  https://sugarhousecomm.wpengine.com/adu-2274-green-street/  There is still time to send me a comment about this one.
