Proposed Project Overview
Colin Jube, property owner representative, is requesting approval of a Zoning Map Amendment and a Master Plan Amendment. The purpose of this request is to enable the redevelopment of property at 705 E 500 S with a 15-story mixed-use development that includes for-sale condos and ground floor retail. The subject property is .48 acres in size.
The proposed Zoning Map Amendment would rezone the property from MU-5 (maximum building height of 55’) to MU-11 (maximum building height of 125’). As proposed, the building would be 166’ in height, which includes a 3-story height bonus, permitted if utilizing the City’s Affordable Housing Incentives. To support the new MU-11 zone, the applicant has also proposed to amend the future land use map within the Central Community Plan from Medium Density TOD (20-50 dwelling units per acre) to High Density TOD (50+ dwelling units per acre).
