Pursuant to chapter 21A.10 of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance, notice of application was sent out on July 18, 2022. The noticing period ended on August 1, 2022. After completing a review of the revised plans, submitted on October 3, 2022, staff has given this project a score of 113 points out of the submitted 128 (see attached scoring sheet for more information). This means that a public hearing and Planning Commission approval is required prior to the project being authorized to go through the standard building permit process. The project must receive approval for the following: 1. It must recieve design review approval from the Planning Commission 2. Any significant changes made to the approved plans, elevations or site plan must be approved by the Planning Department The following points were not given by staff: 17. Eyes on the Street and Public Spaces, 15 points Staff has determined that the North Temple façade does not meet this standard on the ground level because there are no proposed operable openings, balac onies, verandas or similar features on the ground level. The majority of the façade is the exterior of the parking garage which does not provide any visibility to the public space. 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. A full zoning review will be completed as part of the Design Review to verify that the drawings submitted comply with the applicable zoning requirements. Additionally, the plans approved by the Planning Commission 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 801-535-6681 or by e-mail at: Elizabeth.hart@slcgov.com.
