Neighbors fiercely oppose planned Ivory Homes development as west-siders fire back that “all the heavy density is happening” to them.
Ivory Homes, Utah's largest homebuilder, is seeking a rezone on 3.2 acres in Salt Lake City's Avenues neighborhood to build a 19-home project that many neighbors say is too dense and doesn't fit the area's character.a housing project proposed for Salt Lake City’s AvenuesIn a precise, coordinated and all-but-unrelenting barrage of public criticism, dozens of residents urged the City Council on Thursday to reject a rezone that would let Ivory Homes build 19 dwellings on a 3.
“All the heavy density is happening in my district, and not all density should happen in my district,” said first-term council member The proposed change would switch the property from “very low density” to a “low density” special development pattern, giving Ivory more leeway on spacing, setbacks, building heights and other project features.
Peter Gamvroulas, project manager for Ivory, pushed back on assertions the hilly area wasn’t walkable and said the additional density made it more sustainable than construction on larger lots. He also responded to remarks that prices on its 14 two-story cottages and five luxury custom-built homes were all likely to push well past $1 million apiece.
