Description/Background:
Mr. Greg Allshouse, representing Comcast Corporation, has filed an application requesting Modified Commercial Site Plan Review by the Planning Commission, for the existing Comcast Headquarters facility, located at 9602 S. 300 W. in the Research and Development (RD) zoning district. The existing 129,556 square foot, four story office building and its 10.77 Acre site are being modified to allow the remodeling of the office and modification to the site improvements, to accommodate a change in the use of the building and the site to a regional headquarters. Comcast Corporation is consolidating two other Salt Lake County existing service and installation facilities’ functions to this Sandy City location. The site modifications include the expansion and upgrade of the existing secured parking portion of the site, located along the western portion of the site and behind the existing office building. There will also be substantial landscaping improvements made to the site. The Planning Commission is the land-use authority for this requested action.
