Council approves Mountain View Village amendment, adds six residential units in place of small retail space

Riverton ' The City Council on March 25 voted to adopt an amendment to the Mountain View Village development agreement that converts an approved two-story, 5,100-square-foot retail pad into six additional residential units.

Planning staff described the amendment as a narrow, site-specific change: the conversion removes the final small retail corner that had been retained in an earlier revision and adds six residential units (three per floor on two floors) to meet the developer's market evaluation. The amendment increases the previously amended total from 282 units to 288 units; staff said the change does not alter the overall project density previously approved for Mountain View Village.

Jason, the city's development director, told the council CenterCal (the larger mall owner and project stakeholder) has reviewed and consented to the change. The planning commission had earlier approved a related minor site-plan and facade amendment for the building.

A representative of SALT Development, the residential developer, said the project aims to break ground in June and described planned unit amenities, courtyard landscaping and a pool deck (the developer said unit rents would likely start in the mid-range for the market). Staff reiterated the amendment affects only the one small retail pad and that the remainder of commercial space in Mountain View Village remains under CenterCal's management.

Council action: The council adopted the second amendment to the Mountain View Village (Mountain View Place) development agreement by roll-call; the motion passed and the amendment increases the approved residential units to 288. Staff noted construction permitting and financing remain subject to usual conditions.

Ending: The council's action allows the developer to proceed with building permits and the developer said it expects to break ground in mid-2025.
