About the Project
The proposal includes the construction of a 7-story parking garage at the southwest corner of the site which is intended to provide parking for patrons of the Delta Center Arena, create an enhanced user experience, and improve the functionality of the site. The parking garage will consist of approximately 452 parking stalls, and a below-grade loading dock which will house larger vehicles and a secured building entrance for authorized personnel. Vehicular access to the garage is proposed along 400 W and 100 S.
Through the zoning amendment process the applicant is requesting approval of the development agreement associated with the project which establishes specific rules for constructing the parking garage at the Delta Center Arena. If approved, the proposed development agreement could supersede several of the City’s rules and regulations therefore, the proposal is subject to zoning amendment approval.
