Planned Development & Design Review
Milk Block Adaptive Reuse – 416 E 900 S
Petition Number: PLNPCM2023-00090 & PLNPCM2023-00070
Zoning District: CB, Community Business
Overlay District: Liberty Wells National Historic District
Council District: D5 – Represented by Darin Mano
Meredith Warner, representing the property owner, is requesting Planned Development and Design Review approval for an adaptive reuse project at 416 E 900 S. The applicant proposes renovating the existing commercial building and adding four apartment units to the upper level. Design Review approval is required in this zoning district for buildings with a footprint over 7,500 square feet or over 15,000 gross square feet of floor area overall.
The applicant is requesting Planned Development approval to waive the 7’ landscape buffer requirement at the rear of the existing building along Grace Ct. The applicant intends to demolish a portion of the existing building near the southern property line to move the loading area onto the property, increasing the building’s setback from the single-family homes to the south. The required landscape buffer would reduce the circulation of the proposed loading area and require additional demolition.
Project Location
Located at approximately 416 E 900 S.
