Council Moves Forward on Key Housing and Zoning Initiatives
After accepting public comment, the Council approved The Grove Project, a major affordable housing development in downtown Salt Lake City. The project will preserve the historic Northwest Pipeline building and add new construction to create 196 affordable housing units, along with commercial space, structured parking and a public plaza.
- A five-story residential building at approximately 530 S 400 E with ground-floor commercial space. The project is designed to complement nearby development and support walkable, mixed-use growth in the area.
- A 26-unit residential development at approximately 2600 E 1300 S, including townhomes and condominiums, with 10% of the homes set aside as affordable housing.
- Expanding Housing Options, a zoning text amendment initiated by the Council to increase housing flexibility while maintaining neighborhood character. The proposal will undergo more public engagement before future meetings with the Planning Commission and Council.
Budget Amendment No. 4 for Fiscal Year 2025-26
The Council approved the remaining items in a fourth amendment to the FY26 budget, including funding for a mobile command center to respond to natural disasters and special events, improved wildfire preparedness, updated parking signs and more.
