Deeda Seed and Lynn de Freitas: More water may help save the Great Salt Lake, but industrial development will never go away.
Controversy is brewing over a proposed warehouse in an agricultural district in Salt Lake City, with the neighborhood worrying they'll become another arm of the inland port.Salt Lake City is poised to make a decision which will impact generations to come. Warehouse developers are putting tremendous pressure on Salt Lake City’s Northpoint community. Consisting of about 1100 acres, Northpoint is an area of open space, farmland, and 60 homes, to the north and east of the airport.
The decision Salt Lake City faces is whether or not to adopt the draft Northpoint Small Area Master Plan, a plan which calls for the entire Northpoint area to be up-zoned to M1 – light manufacturing. Naturally the warehouse developers love this plan. They said as much at the recent Salt Lake City Council hearing on the matter.
We need a comprehensive analysis of how to protect the south shore eco-region of the Great Salt Lake. This includes the Northpoint area, as well as the natural area and wetlands adjacent to the existing Utah Inland Port warehouse development, and the airport.
