Description/Background:
Elizabeth Evensen of Snell and Wilmer, representing South Town Owner PR, LLC, has applied for a code amendment to the general commercial and industrial development standards to permit more flexibility with setback requirements in the Central Business District (CBD) Zone if certain criteria are met. The proposal would amend section 21-23-3, General Commercial and Industrial Development Standards. South Town Owner PR, LLC owns the Shops at South Town Mall and the Marketplace at South Town shopping centers. The proposed code amendment would allow for the developer to further subdivide their property to create lots for existing pad sites on the edges of these shopping centers. The details of the applicant’s request can be found in their letter (attached).
