Proposed Project Overview
Intermountain Health (represented by Shaun Salazar, HDR) requests Conditional Use and Design Review approval for a new hospital campus. The campus includes 4 buildings: a 10-story inpatient hospital (221’), a 7-story Medical Office Building (146’), a Central Utility Plant, and a 7-story (88’), 632-stall parking structure with ground floor retail. Rezoned to D-1 Central Business District in 2024, the 9-acre site has an associated Development Agreement (DA) that permits increased building length, and modified ground floor uses. The DA also requires the inclusion of 1 acre of open space, midblock walkways, and a food truck court.
Condition Use – The Council voted to make Hospitals, their accessory uses, and Heliports conditional uses in the D-1 zone, requiring Planning Commission approval to construct.
Design Review – The design review petition requests relief from additional D-1 design standards that were not within the DA. Requested modifications include approval for buildings over 200’ in the D-1 zone and increasing front/corner side yard setbacks to accommodate plazas. Additional modifications address glass percentages, durable materials, blank walls, service area screening, onsite parking structure standards, and public improvements. Other requests may arise during the review process.
