602 E 300 S – Bamboo Multifamily
Application Type: Planned Development and Historic New Construction
Petition Numbers: PLNPCM2023-00124 and PLNHLC2023-00125
Project Location: 602 E 300 S, 612 E 300 S, and 321 S 600 E
Zoning District: RMF-35, Moderate Density Multi-family Residential District
Overlay Districts: Groundwater Source Protection, Local Historic District, National Register Historic District

Thom Jakab, on behalf of the property owners, is requesting New Construction in a Historic District and Planned Development approvals for the properties at 602 E 300 S, 612 E 300 S, and 321 S 600 E. The proposal is to construct a single structure of multifamily housing with 38 units on the properties at 602 E 300 S and 321 S 600 E. The structure at 614 E 300 S will be remodeled. The New Construction in a Historic District request includes a modification to the required front yard setback. The Planned Development request is to use the density provision to change the nonconforming commercial use on the properties at 602 E 300 S and 321 S 600 E to a permitted residential use. In the RMF zoning districts, developments that change a nonconforming commercial use to a permitted residential use with a Planned Development are exempt from the density limitations of the zoning district.
The building at 602 E 300 S is considered non-contributing to the historic district and this was the subject of an administrative interpretation. See PLNZAD-2022-00787 for additional information. Demolition of a Non-Contributing Structure applications were submitted and have been approved for 602 E 300 S and 321 S 600 E. See PLNHLC2023-00129 and PLNHLC2023-00130 for additional information.
