Currently there is an application to amend the General Plan to allow up to a 12 story building over at the Old Mill Corporate Center.
The City Council has decided that that while they are at it to explore the feasibility of possibly adding other sections of the city. The other sections would be the Gravel Pit on Wasatch and the Union Park Office Complex.
This of course has pros and cons and will make for some interesting and quite possibly entertaining hearings and city council meetings.
One thing I learned that no matter what is proposed there are folks that think any sort of change is from the dark side and everyone involved is evil.
So the pros are more taxes and usually with this type of tax there are not as much city services required to generate as would be with the same amount collected by a residential tax.
So far the only cons I see is more traffic. None of the proposed sites back up to residential properties.
The Cottonwood Heights City Council has two open houses scheduled April 14th and 15th followed by public hearings on May 5th 2010 and in June.
Here is a link to the application for the General Plan Amendment.
There are some interesting comments about LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).
