Melissa Jensen of the Giv Group representing property owner Utah Power and Light (part of Rocky Mountain Power) is requesting a zoning map amendment for a 3.57 acre parcel of land located at 1223 W North Temple as well as portions of the properties located at 1219, 1275 and 1407 W North Temple Street respectively. The requested change is from the M-1 – Light Manufacturing district to the TSA-UC-C – Transit Station Area Urban Center Core zoning district. The purpose of the amendment is to accommodate new office headquarters for Rocky Mountain Power that would be located on the combined 5.5 acre site. The rezone of this property and the headquarters office will be the inaugural project in the redevelopment of the larger Rocky Mountain campus in the future. This request only relates to the zoning designation of the identified properties. No specific site development proposal has been submitted or is under consideration at this time.
