The Rezone Request 

The applicant is requesting to rezone property at approximately 265 E. 100 S. from MU-8 (Mixed-Use 8) to the D-1 (Central Business) zoning district. The D-1 zone allows taller buildings and more types of uses. 

If approved, the property owner could redevelop the existing office building and surface parking lot into a mixed-use development with ground-floor retail and residential units. 

As part of a development agreement, the applicant is also proposing the following community benefits:   

  • Affordable Housing: 20% of the units would be affordable to households earning 80% or less of the area median income
  • Family-sized units would be included.  
  • Commercial space for local businesses with potential incentives to help lease the space.
