A public hearing before the Historic District Commission on May 19 was favorable for the requested demolition of buildings that occupy the 4-acre Foundry Flask site at 456 E. Cady. The HDC granted the request by Utah Development, LLC, for demolition, provided two conditions are met – obtain the Planning Commission’s approval of the new development proposal and document the existing buildings on site as a historical record (through photographs and drawings), and provide that record to the city and Northville Historical Society.
The developer plans to build a mixed-use building on the site through the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process in the Zoning Ordinance. A mix of commercial and residential uses on this site is in sync with the Master Plan. The property is currently zoned as PR-1: performance regulated industrial district.
