City Council to Review Sugarhouse Historic Business District

Jan 15, 2008 by Elizabeth Ziegler

(KCPW News) Salt Lake City Councilman Soren Simonsen will ask the city council tonight to pass a resolution re-affirming the city's vision for the historic district, as outlined in the Master Plan. Simonsen has acknowledged in the past that there is a disconnect between the city's Master Plan and the actual Planning and Zoning ordinances that govern development in the district. But Simonsen is optimistic that the city can save the district's roughly 40 remaining historic buildings.

Simonsen says the resolution will give new city leaders an opportunity to weigh-in on the developments currently underway in Sugarhouse, and what they would like to see there in the future. The councilman says there is a lot of work to do if city leaders decide to implement the provisions in the Master Plan, and preserve the Sugarhouse historic business district.
