SLC Council votes to preserve green space at Ballpark site after input from residents

Salt Lake City Council members voted to preserve green space at the site of Smith's Ballpark as its redevelopment nears. The City Council of Salt Lake City has approved changes to the permitted land uses for nearly 15 acres at the city-owned Ballpark stadium site. The change, which officially switched the land's designation from open space to a mixed-use one, included caps on building height and a requirement that at least five acres of public lands remain at the heart of any future development. The move is crucial for the city's plans to use pieces of the iconic baseball stadium to create a new entertainment venue and encourage new housing and retail spaces. The city's Community Reinvestment Agency, which manages the property, will now seek proposals from prospective developers interested in the land.
