The Salt Lake City Planning Commission is scheduled to meet on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026, at 5:30 PM at the City & County Building. According to an amended agenda published Oct. 20, the meeting will address various land use petitions, including a gas station proposal and a new hospital campus development.
The consent agenda includes a public hearing for a conditional use and design review at approximately 424 S. Redwood Rd. Joanna Graham, an engineer with Kimley-Horn, is requesting approval for a QuikTrip gas station in the MU-5 zone. The request also includes design review modifications to ground-floor glass and building entrance requirements to provide privacy and security for back-of-house, employee-only operational areas. The site is currently a used car dealership located on a split-zoned parcel in the MU-5 and M-1 zoning districts within City Council District 2, represented by Alejandro Puy.
During the work sessions, the Commission will review a proposal from Intermountain Health, represented by Shaun Salazar of HDR, for a new hospital campus at approximately 45 E. 800 S. The project, located in the D-1 zone and represented by Jennifer Napier-Pearce, includes a 10-story inpatient hospital, a 7-story medical office building, a central utility plant, and a 7-story, 505-stall parking structure with ground-floor retail. The request seeks conditional use approval for hospital and ambulance services and relief from certain D-1 design standards to accommodate public plazas and modifications to glass percentages and service area screening.
Mayor Erin Mendenhall has initiated a petition to amend Section 21A.55 of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance regarding Planned Development petitions. The proposed amendments aim to update procedures to clarify how the Planned Development process interacts with other petitions, such as Zoning Incentives. The updates would seek to streamline approvals for small-scale projects, create two tiers of review, require community benefits for major developments, and establish protections for tenants and demolished housing.
For those unable to attend in person, the meeting will be livestreamed on YouTube via SLC Live Meetings. Written comments must be received by 12:00 PM on the Wednesday before the meeting to be included in the Staff Report, though comments received after that time will still be added to the official record.
