I don't agree with Building Salt Lake's assessment of the zoning in the Granary District. I've brought this issue up before and compared it with other cities before. I believe very firmly that almost all of these projects should go through a Design Review process. This is the way that the city and community can have a say at how the architecture and development develops.

The Granary District is stuck in outdated zoning that won’t be changing anytime soon

While the CG General Commercial zone that covers the Granary is flexible, it forces many developments needing height increases and yard size reductions into the design review and planned development processes.
Three of those new developments are showcased below.
Both city planners and developers complain that design review and planned development costs them dearly in money and time. Yet the city’s planning office says there are no immediate plans to remedy the situation by updating the Granary’s zoning ordinance and map
