RE: Transit Station Area Development Score Review for Petition #PLNTSD2023-
01009 at 443 W 400 N – theIRIS
This letter is notification of the development score review as determined by Planning Department
staff. Pursuant to chapter 21A.10 of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance, notice of application was
sent out on January 16, 2024. The noticing period ended on January 30, 2024.
After completing a review of the revised plans, staff has given the proposed development a score
of 125 points for each building type.
Please see attached scoring sheet for more information. As the development received at least 125
points through the development score review, no public hearing is required, and the project is
now authorized to go through the standard building permit process. The project is approved with
the following conditions:
1.Any significant changes made to the approved plans, elevations or site plan must be approved
by the Planning Department to verify the development maintains a sufficient development
review score for administrative review.
2.Building Permit plans must include details on the artwork to be included on site for
compliance with the public art points awarded.
As the applicant, you have the option to appeal this development score review to the Appeals
Hearing Officer. If you chose to appeal, a public hearing will be required per the requirements of
the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance.
If you are satisfied with the score given, you can continue with your building permit submittal
with Building Services. A full zoning review will be completed as part of the building permit review
to verify that the drawings submitted for your building permit comply with the applicable zoning
requirements. Additionally, the plans submitted for your development score will be compared
with the plans submitted for your building permit, and you will be notified if there are any
discrepancies between the two sets.
If you have any further questions about the Planning Department process, please contact me at
801-535-7780 or by e-mail at: Kristina.gilmore@slcgov.com.
Sincerely,
Krissy Gilmore
Senior Planner
