Neighbors urge Council to preserve residential buffer along 300 North amid hospital expansion
Summary
Longtime residents urged the Council to restore or preserve a residential buffer along 300 North and improve notice procedures after they say zoning changes and meetings were not clearly communicated to affected homeowners.
Several residents from the 300 North neighborhood told the Council they want the City to preserve a residential buffer that has long separated homes from nearby commercial and hospital-related development.
Carol Bell, whose family has lived on 300 North for four decades, asked the Council to consider restoring the planned extension of 200 North, maintain appropriate zoning for affected properties, and preserve the residential buffer. Tom Lemke and John Bell raised safety and traffic concerns tied to potential hospital access expansion to 300 North and urged flexible zoning options (mixed-use or senior housing) to preserve property value while protecting neighborhood character. Cindy Miller said residents had difficulty finding notifications about proposed zoning changes and called for mailing notices and posting signs on impacted properties to meet Utah notice requirements.
Council members acknowledged the comments and said they would review the petition and public notification concerns as part of the land-use process.
