754 S. State St Rezone
The Latest:
After the Council’s first briefing and meeting with business owners from the area in the summer of 2023, the Council requested additional information about this project. Council Members would like to know more about the building’s potential layout, commercial spaces, and other features, given the City’s recent Downtown and State Street planning goals.
Intermountain Health requested additional time before a follow-up discussion with the Council.

Description:
The Council is considering a proposal to rezone 10 parcels at approximately 754 S State Street. If approved, the property owner, Intermountain Healthcare, states they intend to redevelop the property and build a hospital.
The property was long home to the Sears building, which operated from 1947 to 2018, before being demolished.
Details:
The property owner is asking for the property to be rezoned from the current Downtown Support District (D-2) zone to a Central Business District (D-1) zone. The property owner is also requesting that “Hospital” and “Ambulance service” be added to the list of approved uses in the Central Business District zone.
