In a recent government meeting, the council reviewed a proposal for a new four-lot subdivision called PG Boulevard, located on approximately 6.53 acres at 238 South Pleasant Grove Boulevard. The proposal, presented by Director Cardenas, includes one residential lot and three commercial lots, with the aim of enhancing the area’s connectivity and economic viability.

The council discussed the historical context of the site, noting that six years ago, an overlay zone was established to allow for residential density in the area, permitting up to 23 units per acre in exchange for the development of retail spaces that would generate sales tax revenue. The current proposal aligns with these earlier decisions, as it aims to create a mix of residential and commercial spaces.

The residential component of the project will consist of two five-story apartment buildings, totaling 194 units—170 one-bedroom and 24 two-bedroom apartments. The site plan also includes a retail pad of approximately 3,853 square feet. The applicant has ensured that parking requirements are met, with a total of 339 parking stalls designated for residential use, alongside additional spaces for the retail area.

The council emphasized the importance of maintaining a buffer for commercial uses along the boulevard, a point that has been a topic of discussion in previous meetings. The proposal was forwarded with a unanimous recommendation for approval, reflecting the council's commitment to balancing residential needs with commercial development in the area.

As the project moves forward, it is expected to contribute significantly to the local economy while providing much-needed housing options. The applicant and city officials remain available to address any further questions from the community as the development progresses.
