A rezone application could lead to more industrial buildings going up on current agriculture land in the newly annexed Northpoint area of Salt Lake City.
Last week, Salt Lake City received a zoning amendment application that seeks to rezone two parcels totaling 7.57 acres zoned as Agricultural District (AG-2) to the recently created Northpoint Light Industrial (M-1A). The land is located at 2075 W. 2670 North, and it’s bordered by Interstate 215 to the east.
Documents submitted to the city indicate the property owner, Lone Peak Lofts LLC, doesn’t have immediate plans to develop the site, but a narrative document says a rezone would align with the Northpoint area’s future direction.
“We are asking for this zoning to have more flexibility with our property as a commercial business property and again align with the new zoning overlay in our community,” wrote petitioner Dustin Kuttler on behalf of Lone Peak Lofts in a project narrative document to the city. “We are not petitioning for development at this time but would like to use the property for some commercial uses or future development.”
The project narrative further hints at the potential to develop the land, as it says, “Due to the nature of this changing area we would like the opportunity to potentially build for ourselves or sell the land.”
Currently the land is irrigated pasture land for cattle. Property records show the land was sold this week to Lone Peak Lofts, following the death of its former owner over the summer.
If the rezone is granted, the land would be the latest pieces ripe for industrial redevelopment. The Salt Lake City Council voted to annex over 1,300 acres of land into the city this summer, which was months after the council voted to create the M-1A zone to accommodate new industrial development.
The M-1A zone allows for “light industrial, office, and research uses that produce minimal impact on adjacent residential and agricultural properties,” according to the ordinance passed in January 2025. Just weeks after the city council approved the annexation of the Northpoint land, parcels began hitting the open market for build-to-suit developments, as industrial land near Salt Lake City is a hot commodity.
It’s not clear when the Salt Lake City Planning Commission or the city council could review the rezone proposal.
