The Salt Lake City Planning Commission was scheduled to meet on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, at the City and County Building to address multiple zoning amendments and design reviews, according to a document published September 10.
The agenda included a design review for La Esquina at approximately 950 W 1000 N. The applicant, Jae Hyun, requested approval to develop a three-story mixed-use building featuring 16 residential units and approximately 2,750 square feet of ground floor commercial space on a property currently used as a donut shop.
A zoning map amendment was proposed for a property at approximately 1469 W California Ave. The applicant, Drake Powell, requested to rezone the vacant land from R-1/7,000 to FB-UN1 to allow for additional housing types, such as two-family homes and single-family attached dwellings with a maximum height of 30 feet.
Additional zoning map amendments were requested for Lamplighter Square and Lamplighter Townhomes, located at approximately 1629 S Foothill Drive and 2493 E 1700 S. The applicant, Jon Galbraith of Element Design Collective, sought to rezone the properties from MU-2 and R-1/7,000 to MU-3. If approved, the development would include retail, commercial, and professional office space, along with 14 for-rent townhomes and 5 for-sale townhomes.
The commission was also scheduled to continue a public hearing regarding a citywide zoning text amendment initiated by the Salt Lake City Council. This proposal aims to expand housing options by updating low-density residential districts and establishing standards for small lot dwellings.
