South Logan Stakeholders,
Thank you for your continued interest in the South Logan TOD Project to support more connectivity and livability close to transit in the Logan Neighborhood. The recently built STA City Line bus rapid transit route through this area will begin service in July and presents an opportunity to create a focused community vision and development approach for the South Logan area.
What have we been working on?
City Planning is working with the consultant team led by MAKERS Architecture to review zoning and study environmental impacts of planned development though the creation of a subarea plan and environmental impact statement (EIS). This type of environmental review, called a Planned Action, can help create predictability and streamline permitting, help attract economic development to a priority planning area, and be more responsive to community needs identified throughout the process with immediate action.
The project consultants and City staff have put together preliminary development “alternatives” for the South Logan area. The preliminary alternatives are part of the environmental review process to identify possible outcomes for enhancing transit-oriented development in South Logan. The preliminary alternatives, guided by community input, examine a mix of uses and intensities, public improvements, and other actions that meet community values. The Preliminary Alternatives Memo provides an overview of community values and initial options for future development.
After a series of recent presentations on the preliminary alternatives to Plan Commission, City Council, and an online open house, the project consultants have been working to identify the range of impacts and necessary mitigation measures.
What is coming next?
The Draft Subarea Plan and Draft EIS are projected to be released in April 2023 for public review. This will include the full analysis of the alternatives, impacts, and mitigation measures. There will be an accompanying 30-day public comment period and public workshop during the comment period to share about the alternatives analysis and gather formal feedback from the community and agency partners on the different scenarios. The received feedback will ultimately inform the development and identification of the preferred alternative to help guide the future framework and development in the South Logan area.
