"Power District" -Zoning Amendment

Petition Number: PLNPCM2024-00982
Application Type: Zoning Map and Text Amendment
Project Location: The project area consists of 93 acres of the Fairpark district, including 38 parcels at approximately 1500 W North Temple.

Larry H. Miller Development, represented by Snell & Wilmer, is seeking approval to amend Salt Lake City’s zoning ordinance by creating a new zoning district known as the Jordan River Fairpark District (JRF District). This proposed district would rezone approximately 93 acres across 38 parcels, into a single zone to support the area’s redevelopment.

The JRF District would permit buildings up to 400 feet in height, with a 5-foot stepback required for structures above 200 feet. The proposal includes no minimum lot size or width, no setbacks, and no open space requirements. Additionally, development within the JRF District would be exempt from the City’s general plans and Design Review process. Development plans have not been submitted.
​
Under a new state law, the City and the applicant have until December 31, 2024 to enter into an agreement providing the applicant with an expedited process for review and approval of land use applications and vesting the applicant in any approved land use for a qualified stadium and related uses. If an agreement is not reached by that date, none of the property in the district will be subject to the City’s zoning, riparian, airport or other land use regulations.
The end of the public comment period is October 21, 2024
