No, Salt Lake City has many single-family neighborhoods, and single-family detached homes will continue to be an option. This proposal is about adding choices, not subtracting neighborhoods. By modifying standards for lot dimensions, setbacks, building heights, and lot coverage, EHO will enable modest home types like duplexes and townhomes that are compatible with existing, established neighborhoods and attainable to buy or rent.
