A proposed transit station development near a TRAX Green Line stop now has a reduced footprint and fewer units, according to updated plans submitted to Salt Lake City.
The proposed development, known as Aarhus, used to call for 20 market-rate studio apartment units that spanned from Emeril Avenue to South Temple. Aarhus is located directly east of the popular Red Iguana 2 restaurant.
Aarhus is largely slated to be in the same spot, but updated plans submitted to the city last month show a smaller footprint. Instead of spanning from Emeril to South Temple, new plans show an existing home on Emeril Avenue will remain in place.
The building’s design has also lost some design elements included in the documents originally submitted to the city.
The tightened plans mean a reduction in units, as the updated plan now calls for 16 studio units instead of 20. The new plans also indicate the patio/balcony space in the previous plans are gone, instead using that square footage for the interior of the units.
Updated plans do not list the square footage of each unit, though prior plans also did not specify each unit’s size. The new plans now show the entrances to each unit will be via the building’s exterior, a notable change from the previous plans that included interior hallway entrances on both floors.
Aarhus is zoned as TSA-UN-C, and it’s just a short walk from the Jackson/Euclid TRAX stop. The plans do not include parking, which is allowed in its current zoning due to its proximity to public transit.
Aarhus is currently in the pre-screening phase with the Salt Lake City Planning Division. It’s not clear when the plans could be evaluated by city planners, or when the plans could be discussed before the planning commission.
