Developers, Salt Lake Costume Properties, Inc., wants to convert the former Salt Lake City Costume building on the southeast corner of the 1100 East and 1700 South into a 19-unit residential building...The building’s exterior shell will be preserved, the developers are requesting the height increase to be able to adjust roof and ceiling heights. The developers plan to remove the hard stucco that covers the top two floors and will instead utilize a brick veneer for the all three levels. The current building has very few windows. The proposed conversion will add windows and glass doors on all three floors to increase transparency. The top two floors will include exterior balconies. The developers plan to retain the iconic knight sign and incorporate it into the building’s renovation.The building currently has three cell towers on the roof. The developers plan to replace the three cell towers with two water towers that would serve as cell equipment. Additionally, the RB zone only allows for 4 inch-wide decorative balconies, under the planned development request the developers want to build 12-inch balconies.The proposed 19 units will be predominantly one bedroom apartments. The ground floor will have four units, three of which will be live/work units and one loft unit. The ground floor units will be walk-up units and will front 1100 East. The second and third floors will have eight and seven units respectively. The two, two-bedroom units will occupy the third floor.
