SALT LAKE CITY — A proposal before the Salt Lake City Council would allow building heights to rise to a stunning 600-feet in the downtown sports, arts and entertainment district that would house a remodeled National Hockey League team arena.
Proposed zoning would include an increase in large electronic signs, which some council members expressed concerns from their constituents about. An eyebrow-raising heliport has been designated"conditional." While the Smith Entertainment Group proposed"unlimited" building heights, Salt Lake City staffers recommended a 600-foot cap with council approval on designs of any building over 75 feet.
Council Chair Victoria Petro said she was not concerned about the height, noting that building vertically needs to happen. "It's a true negotiation," Mayor Mendenhall told reporters on Tuesday."I feel great about the public benefits, about the security of the teams, about the revitalization, about so much more than the Delta Center."
The fate of Abravanel Hall and the Salt Palace would be part of separate negotiations Smith Entertainment Group must undertake with Salt Lake County, which owns those facilities. The proposed fee ranges from $1 to $3 on any ticket sold at the Delta Center. The money is earmarked for a special fund for affordable housing and public art that can be used citywide.
