Design Review
800 S – Design Review at 330 W 800 S
Petition Number: PLNPCM2022-00694
Current Zoning District: CG General Commercial and D-2 Downtown Support
Council District: District 4, Ana Valdermoros
Salt Lake City is reviewing a petition submitted by Stephen Droll of Valerio Dewalt Train Associates, representing the property owner, requesting Design Review approval to construct an 8-story, 86-foot-tall mixed-use development project at approximately 330 West 800 South. The project area currently includes multiple properties split between the CG General Commercial and D-2 Downtown Support zoning districts (see map below). The properties would need to be consolidated into a single lot before construction could begin on the project. Because the proposed building is taller than 60 feet in height, Design Review by the Salt Lake City Planning Commission is required.
Specifically, this proposal would include 336 residential units ranging in size from studio to 3-bedroom and retail space that would face 800 South. Structured parking would be located internally to the building. The proposed project is unique because it includes and will preserve the Kilby Court music venue. As part of the proposal, a new midblock walkway would connect Kilby Court (the street) to 800 South.
Design Review is a process that is meant to ensure higher-quality outcomes for developments that could have a significant impact on their surroundings (i.e., buildings above a certain height). Design Review requires that these projects are compatible with their surroundings, do not negatively impact public space and infrastructure, and help to achieve City goals and policies identified in adopted Master Plans. The Planning Commission reviews all Design Review applications according to the standards found in section 21A.59.050 of the City’s zoning regulations.
Project Location
Property located at approximately 330 W 800 S.
