Ordinance: Zoning Map Amendment at Approximately 256 East 300 South ~ 4:50 p.m. 20 min. The Council will receive a briefing about a proposal that would amend the zoning of the property at approximately 256 East 300 South from R-MU (Residential/Mixed-Use) to D-1 (Central Business District). The proposal would allow the potential development of a hotel within a new 185-foot building. If adopted, the applicant would then need to submit the necessary development applications, and the project would need to comply with all relevant regulations within the City zoning ordinance.
