The Salt Lake City Planning Commission approved a two-building project just east of the Central 9th district at its meeting last night despite commissioners’ concerns about the buildings’ design. The Boyer Company had asked for nine exceptions to D-2 zoning requirements that required both a planned development and a design review process for both buildings. Of the adjustment requests, planning commissioners were most concerned with Boyer’s failure to meet ground-floor active use requirements and provide relief for the long facade length of the north building.
