Plan Commission approves 12-unit downtown development at 80 East 200 South

The Provo City Plan Commission approved project-plan approval for a new 12-unit residential development at 80 East 200 South in the downtown neighborhood on July 2, 2025, allowing the applicant to proceed to planning and building permits.

The project, proposed by Joshua Godfrey, would replace a vacant parking lot with a fourplex at the front of the lot and eight townhomes at the rear. City staff told the commission the design provides the required number of parking spaces, includes bicycle racks inside each townhome garage, and — because of the unit count — does not trigger a required amenity space.

Jessica (staff) said the proposal had been reviewed by the City review committee (CRC) for compliance with building, fire, city code and engineering standards. The staff presentation said the project “adds an additional housing type in the downtown area and matches with the current existing uses that it's surrounded.” The applicant was not present for the hearing.

The commission opened and closed the public hearing with no public testimony on the record for this item. The Plan Commission chair moved to approve the project-plan application and stated, “I will approve this project plan approval for the 12 unit residential development, located at 80 East 200 South, and allow them to move forward to, planning and building permits.” The chair’s approval was recorded without further conditions beyond standard permitting.

Next steps: With plan approval granted, the applicant may submit final plans for planning and building permits and must satisfy the normal building-permit review and CRC checks during that process.
