EXHIBIT A
SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1. PURPOSE FOR THE AMENDMENT IN QUESTION:
• Acreage: 5.4 acres
• Address: South Campus Drive & Mario Capecchi Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108 (the
“Property”)
• Current Zoning: Institutional
• Proposed Zoning: Residential Mixed Use (RMU)
2. A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED USE OF THE PROPERTY BEING REZONED:
The Property is currently in Salt Lake City. The intention is to subdivide a portion of a parcel
land and make the subdivided parcel the subject of the rezone, Planned Development, Design
Review, and build an integrated student housing project with mixed-use amenities. The requested
rezone will facilitate the development of this project and will tie in infrastructure improvements
intended for the area to facilitate development. The conceptual site plan, attached hereto as
Exhibit B, contemplates, among other things for both the Property:
• 4 buildings (5 & 4 stories – less than 75’ in height);
• Up to 152 units per building (346 sq. ft. minimum);
• Total density of 536 units;
• Building coverage of 27.26%;
• 211 parking spaces;
• Parking coverage of 27.18%; and
• Landscaping coverage of 28.54%.
3. REASONS WHY THE PRESENT ZONING MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE
AREA:
• The Property is adjoined by the following zoning districts:
• North: Institutional (South Campus Drive)
• East: Institutional (Mario Capecchi Drive)
• South: Institutional (Research Road)
• West: Institutional
• The Property is located within the Regional Activity Center in the East Bench Master
Plan (adopted 2/2017). The East Bench Master Plan highlights the importance of
“Connecting People to Places” and the “Growth of Regional Destinations.” As the
University of Utah continues to grow, it is critical to provide students a place to live that
is proximate to campus. Ivory University House plans to help fulfill the East Bench
Master Plan by providing an off-campus solution helps “Connect People to Places.” The
East Bench Master Plan also highlights the importance of preserving open space and
existing trees on properties. Ivory University House intends to preserve and enhance open
space and existing trees on the Property and in accordance with the Salt Lake City Urban
Forestry.
• A rezone of the Property would support student housing in the area that already exists in
the current zone of Institutional. The existing University of Utah campus and the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Institute provides an adjacent, complimentary use.
Student residential housing will involve efficient use of the Property and coordinate well
with existing and planned public infrastructure.
• A rezone of the Property will support nearby developments, including, without limitation,
the University of Utah, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Institute, and will
provide infrastructure improvements for the area to facilitate development. We have been
in contact with the Utah Department of Transportation, Salt Lake City Public Utilities,
The University of Utah, and others with respect to constructing and/or contributing to: (i)
new water and sewer lines (ii) and connecting walkways to nearby Trax that will reduce
traffic congestion on South Campus Drive and Mario Capecchi Drive during events and
school commutes.
4. PARCEL NUMBERS TO BE CHANGED:
• Property: Parcel Id. No. 16-04-400-011-0000; from Institutional to RMU
• The entire Parcel ID number listed above contains 30.92 acres of land currently owned by
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Of this 30.92-acre site, a proposed lot of
5.40 acres will be created in the Northeast corner. This 5.40-acre lot is being proposed for
a zoning ordinance change from Institutional to RMU. The remaining 25.52 acres of land
will remain as Institutional. A subdivision plat will be proposed and submitted with this
rezoning package.
