Salt Lake City has received a request from Knit Studios, representing the property owner, for Conditional Use approval for a remodel and addition to the building located at 235 S Rio Grande St in the D-3 Downtown Warehouse/Residential District. The site currently contains a social service mission, which will be renovated and expanded to accommodate new office and skills training space. The service and operation of the building will continue as it currently stands. The existing building is 10, 633 square feet, and the total addition is proposed to be 5,579 square feet. The property is required to go through a new conditional use approval because they are proposing to increase the size by more than 1,000 square feet.
