The Olympus Hills West Village Center Special District contains approximately 8 acres of land located between I-215 and Wasatch Boulevard, from 3900 South to the I-215 offramp at approximately 4100 South Wasatch Boulevard. The Olympus Hills West VCSD will include any land that the Utah Department of Transportation may surplus as part of a reconfiguration of the 3900 South interchange. The Olympus Hills West VCSD is intended to promote a mixed use village center district, including a new car dealership, restaurant and neighborhood retail and service uses. The Olympus Hills West-VCSD will feature architecturally compatible buildings, retail and restaurant uses flanking a public plaza, and an updated Wasatch Boulevard Streetscape. The Olympus Hills West-VCSD will be designed to further the goals for village centers identified in the Millcreek General Plan, to include a height transition requirement with the shortest buildings on the south side of the project in order to protect critical viewsheds and an updated Wasatch Boulevard Streetscape to enhance safety and utility for pedestrians and cyclists. The boundaries of the Olympus Hills West-VCSD are indicated in Exhibit A in MKZ 19.62A.050 and shall be designated on the Millcreek Zoning Map.
