Building Height and Views

Salt Lake City

Summary

The proposed MU8 zoning allows for buildings up to 75 feet (90 feet with design review), a significant increase from the current 35-40 feet under MU3. Residents are concerned about the impact on views, particularly of the mountains, and how a taller structure will fit into the existing Sugar House landscape.
