SoSaLa Future Land Use Map: http://www.ssl.state.ut.us/ECON%20DE...Use_Aerial.pdf
Area between 3rd and 5th as New Mixed Use on both sides of the tracks and is designated as and RDA area.

Everything between State and Main and 21st and I-80 has already been zoned Mixed Use, RDA designation.

Everything from 3rd West to Main, and 21st to the tracks is New Mixed Use, with and RDA designation.

So yes it looks as if both cities have anticipated the Street Car line along this route. So once a developer acquires the properties in these areas, he will be able to apply for a zone change, consistent with the Future Land Use map. A zone change in this instance will be much easier as it has already been approved on the land use map and the zone change is simply a formality to adopt that map. (it's not easy, it's just easier)

Here's another concept rendering of the Streetcar

There are actually few back yards along the Sugar House line. It's mostly old warehouses because the train tracks that were there existed to deliver goods to those warehouses. Those warehouses could either be converted to housing, or more likely be demolished and taller, high-density housing built along the line.
