2. Modifications to a Design Review at Approximately 1050 S Washington Street - George Hauser of SMH Builders, representing the property owner, is requesting approval of modifications to the earlier Design Review approval to develop a 287-unit apartment building.

Since that time, rooftop elements including mechanical rooms and an occupiable rooftop patio have been identified that exceed the height originally approved through Design Review. In accordance with section 21A.59.080 these modifications to the approved Design Review plans require approval from the Planning Commission. The subject property is located within Council District 5, represented by Darin Mano. (Staff Contact: Michael McNamee at 801-535-7226 or michael.mcnamee@slcgov.com) Case Number: PLNPCM2022-01165
REGULAR AGENDA
1. Yalecrest - Laird Heights Local Historic District - Kelly McAleer, a property owner in the proposed local historic district, has submitted a petition to designate a new local historic district within the Yalecrest neighborhood of the City. The proposed boundaries of the Yalecrest - Laird Heights Local Historic District are on Laird Avenue from 1300 East to 1500 East including the homes on Laird Circle and Uintah Circle. The request is before the Planning Commission because the local historic district designation process requires the Commission to hold a public hearing and forward a recommendation to the City Council which has final decision making authority on this type of request: a zoning map amendment. The proposed district is located in City Council District 6 represented by Dan Dugan. (Staff contact: Lex Traughber at (801) 535-6184 or lex.traughber@slcgov.com) Case Number: PLNHLC2023-00074
2. (POSTPONED) Planned Development and Preliminary Subdivision at approximately 532 S 1200 E - Warren Crummett, property owner, is requesting Planned Development approval to build three townhomes behind the existing triplex at 532 S 1200 East. The proposed townhomes will have basement level garages that will be accessed from the alley behind the property. The property will be subdivided so the individual townhomes and the existing triplex will be on their own lots. The project requires Planned Development approval because the individual lots created through the subdivision would not meet dimensional requirements such as setbacks, building coverage, landscape buffer and grading limitations. Planned Development approval is also required for an additional three feet of building height over what is allowed in the zoning district. The property is located within Council District 4, represented by Ana Valdemoros.
