The Salt Lake City Council voted unanimously Oct. 20 to rezone about 14.8 acres at and around Smith's Ballpark for mixed-use redevelopment, KSL reported. The adopted approach uses MU-8 and MU-5 districts rather than the earlier proposal that included MU-11. [1]
MU-8 allows heights up to 95 feet in qualifying circumstances, compared with the earlier proposal's potential 150-foot maximum, according to KSL. City leaders have pledged at least five acres of open space and protection of existing trees. [1]
The vote sets zoning rules for the site. KSL reported that a construction start date remains unknown. [1]
