Planning commission approves Market Center preliminary plat, continues CUP to May 15
Summary
The South Salt Lake Planning Commission unanimously approved a preliminary subdivision plat that will split the Market Center property at 2280 South State Street into four lots, and continued a related conditional use permit until May 15 to allow a development agreement to proceed through city council.
The South Salt Lake Planning Commission unanimously approved a preliminary subdivision plat on April 17 to split the Market Center property at 2280 South State Street into four lots, and continued a related conditional use permit hearing to May 15, 2025.
Senior Planner Spencer Cawley told commissioners the 5.5-acre, vacant parcel just south of WinCo is proposed to become a four-lot subdivision that could accommodate one building per lot and, ultimately, about 478 residential units, with a minimum of 400 designated as affordable housing under the applicant’s proposal.
The approval of the preliminary plat included standard technical conditions. Cawley said the preliminary plat has outstanding technical items that staff will resolve before recordation, and listed conditions including a five-foot public utility easement along the front of lots consistent with Title 17 downtown standards and a requirement that the plat be recorded within two years of final approval.
Commissioner Holscher moved to approve the preliminary subdivision plat “based on the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and conditions of approval in the staff report,” and Commissioner South (seconding) called the motion. The commission voted “Aye” and the motion passed unanimously.
The linked conditional use permit (CUP) for a multifamily, mixed‑use development at the same address was not decided. Staff and the applicant asked that the CUP and a draft development agreement be heard by city council first so the planning commission could consider the CUP together with a development agreement. The commission voted to continue the CUP to the May 15, 2025 meeting to allow that sequence to occur.
Cawley noted the conceptual site plan in the staff packet is subject to technical review and that addresses for the new lots were reviewed with the county. He also said Lots 2, 3 and 4 are expected to include commercial or retail elements intended to serve both future residents and the surrounding neighborhood.
No public comments were offered during the public hearing for the preliminary plat.
If the applicant returns with a CUP and an accompanying development agreement, the planning commission indicated it will consider both items at the May 15 meeting so approval of a CUP would not precede execution of the development agreement.
