Developer John Potter wants to build a towering 95-foot hotel on the corner of Sugar House Park, and we say NO.

Magnus Hotel Management has just submitted a proposal to rezone land in Sugar House Park to allow a seven-story luxury hotel — more than three times the current 30-foot height limit. If approved, this hotel would:

Block the iconic view of Sugar House Park and the Wasatch Mountains
Overwhelm our neighborhood with traffic, noise, and shadow, not to mention the construction 
Set a dangerous precedent for future oversized development
Pave over community identity & decisions for the sake of private profit

Our community already stood up to inappropriate development once — stopping the Kum & Go gas station as theres a chevron across the street. Now, we must do it again, however the stakes feel higher.

We demand that the Salt Lake City Planning Commission and City Council:

Reject the zoning height increase from 30 ft to 125 ft
Deny approval of the proposed hotel
Preserve the public view and scale of Sugar House Park

Councilmember Sarah Young recently said she’s waiting to hear from the community before taking a stance. Let’s make sure she hears us loud and clear.
