PARK CITY, Utah — The Park City Planning Commission will hold a public hearing and vote on Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024, regarding a proposed master planned development at 1800 Park Avenue, known as The Yarrow or the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel. The redevelopment plan, submitted by the property owner, Singerman Real Estate, includes a significant height exception request that has sparked debate.
Why it matters: The proposed redevelopment, which seeks to transform the 4.47-acre site into a mixed-use development with 234 residential units and additional commercial space, has raised concerns among city officials and residents due to its potential impact on the scenic views along Park City’s key entry corridors. The Planning Commission’s decision could set a precedent for future development projects in sensitive areas like the Frontage Protection Zone (FPZ).
The proposal: The redevelopment plan calls for constructing 234 nightly rental condominium units, along with retail, office, and restaurant spaces. The applicant also requests an exception to increase the building height by 10 feet to 45 feet in certain areas, which exceeds the 35-foot limit set by the General Commercial zoning district.
