THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE – SANDY – Move over, LDS Church Office Building. Step aside, Frank Gehry.
Sandy could land Utah’s tallest building – make that buildings.
On Tuesday, the burb’s City Council approved a new arts-and-culture land-use zone that allows towers up to 600 feet tall, paving the way for a 40-story high-rise, about 550 feet, near 10100 South and Interstate 15. That’s just the first phase of The Proscenium, which calls for two additional 30- to 40-story buildings.
THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE – SANDY – This southern Salt Lake Valley ‘burb could bust through its 150-feet-capped skyline to allow buildings up to 600 feet tall.
On Thursday, Sandy’s Planning Commission recommended that the city create a new arts-and-culture zoning in its central business district to pave the way for a proposed $560 million, mixed-use project that boasts three towers, each up to 40 stories tall.
THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE – SANDY – The sky would have been the limit for buildings downtown. The sky and Sandy Planning Commission, anyway.
But some council members said removing a height restriction ordinance and giving the Planning Commission ultimate approval on how high buildings could go was “pushing too far,” according to Councilman Steve Smith.
So, the Sandy City Council delayed its vote on eliminating height limits to July 15, when all seven members would be present. Councilman Chris McCandless was absent.
The current code caps building heights to 10 stories, but the new Proscenium project pitches three 30-story skycrapers near 10000 South and Interstate 15.
THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE – SANDY – Not just a Broadway-style theater could sprout here. A developer also plans to plop a children’s theater, performing arts high school, an amphitheater and art galleries next to Interstate 15 and 10000 South in Sandy.
THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE – SANDY – Is it better to spruce up a deteriorating, vintage building or knock it down and start fresh?
That’s the age-old dilemma facing Sandy officials as they weigh whether to save their former City Hall.
DESERET MORNING NEWS – By 2011, developers are hoping to complete the first phase of the Proscenium, a 12-acre mixed-use development located at about 10000 South in Sandy. The projected location is just east of I-15 and southwest of the Sandy City Hall.
The $2.1 million price tag on newly opened Quarry Bend Park in Sandy doesn’t include labor costs for planting 800 trees and shrubs scattered throughout.
