RE: Transit Station Area Development Score Review for Petition PLNTSD2022-
00181 at 44 N 1000 W
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 March 30, 2022. The noticing period ended on April 12, 2022.
After completing a review of the revised plans, staff has given the proposed development the
following score:
• A score of 135 points out of the submitted 150
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.
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
801-535-6179 or by e-mail at: katilynn.harris@slcgov.com.
Sincerely,
Katilynn Harris
