Park City Council to review Bonanza Park redevelopment plans in November work session

PARK CITY, Utah — Park City Council will hold a special meeting Nov. 13 to review updates to the proposed redevelopment of the city-owned Five-Acre Site in Bonanza Park, as the project continues through a planning process marked by public opposition, design revisions, and delayed decisions.

The work session is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13, in Marsac Building council chambers. The public can attend in-person or virtually and submit comments through the city’s meeting information page.

The meeting comes after Brinshore Development, the city’s development partner, requested to postpone a scheduled Oct. 14 Planning Commission review, saying in a letter to the commission that they needed additional time to revise the plans in response to commissioners’ feedback. They also said city council “requested an update on the revisions in-progress prior to submitting them to the Planning Commission.”

The Planning Commission has been reviewing the proposal since June, with discussions focusing on building heights, parking, traffic, transportation, and the project’s overall design. The commission has not taken final action on the land-use applications.

What is proposed for the Five-Acre Site?

The roughly 5-acre property sits at the southwest corner of Kearns Boulevard and Bonanza Drive.

The current proposal would create a mixed-use development with 106 residential units, including 88 deed-restricted affordable units, along with 32,581 square feet of commercial space, arts and cultural amenities, a child care center, publicly accessible green space, and an underground parking garage.

The plans call for seven buildings, gathering areas, and outdoor amenities.

The city selected Brinshore as its development partner in 2025 after soliciting proposals for the property. The City Council authorized the submission of land-use applications in March 2026, sending the project to the Planning Commission for review.

The development has also prompted broader debate over how the city should use the property, including questions about the scale of the proposal, its impact on the neighborhood, and the balance between housing, commercial uses, and open space.

The city has not announced a date for the commission’s next review.
