Project Description

The Project site is located at 156 East 900 South, Salt Lake City, Utah. The site constitutes approximately 26,000 square feet, the majority of that site is occupied by the existing 2-story structure that was built in 1963 and has been in use consistently since its initial construction. The proposed project adds 2 additional stories and rooftop to the existing structure to create a mixed use development within the program described above. The property also includes an adjacent 26 stall parking lot 158 feet away from the property. This adjacent property will remain as-is.

The Maven Lofts proposal is to maintain the existing building footprint and most of the existing exterior walls and build on top of it. For this specific reason we would like to request the required setback to be waived.

The Development is compatible with the Master plan of the Commercial Corridor, proposing a mix of land use, residential and commercial, with design and materials fitting the neighborhood buildings. Most
of the North elevation is Storefront (45%), facilitating pedestrian’s interest and interaction with the commercial part of the building.

The proposed structure is fifteen feet (44’-11”) above the allowed height for the district. (Not exceeding the Maximum additional height established by Chapter 21A.59 Design Review Process) Allowing this height variance results in an additional floor of apartments bringing more community to the area. Also in order to preserve a reduced scale along 900 S, the new additional levels that face 900 S step back several feet, allowing the new building to integrate better with the scale of the adjacent structures improving the site layout and building amenities.

In Order to obtain the Maximum Additional Height the Landscape area will have to be increased ten percent of the area of the additional floor.
