About this file
This is a Design Package and Site Plan document for The Point River District project, a mixed-use development opportunity issued by the Point of the Mountain State Land Authority (POMSLA) in partnership with the City of Draper and City of Bluffdale, Utah. The solicitation seeks qualified for-sale housing developers and builders to design and construct residential units within the River District component of The Point master-planned community. The project encompasses approximately 5-minute walking radius development parcels (labeled A through E) featuring multiple residential typologies including condominiums, 20-foot value townhomes, 28-foot lifestyle townhomes, and 35-foot single-family homes at various density levels. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 16, 2026, at 11:00 AM at the Taylorsville State Office Building. Proposal submissions must be made via the U3P website no later than 12:00 PM on Friday, August 14, 2026. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted through Bonfire no later than 7:22 PM on July 22, 2026.
The design package establishes comprehensive development guidelines including pedestrian networks with bike lanes and multipurpose trails, neighborhood and community parks with flexible conceptual locations, and transit connectivity via the planned Bluffdale Frontrunner Station and regional bus service. Residential building standards mandate specific architectural requirements for wrap and podium buildings, walk-up units, townhomes, and single-family detached homes, including requirements for ground-floor differentiation, individual unit articulation, material diversity, and a regionally distinctive color palette reflecting historical Utah building traditions. Infrastructure responsibilities are delineated among POMSLA (River to Range Park completion by end of 2028), residential developers (pocket parks and adjacent open space), and the City of Draper (community park). Phase 1 projects include the University of Utah Hospital and Research Campus and associated roads and utilities. The document references a linked Google Sheet containing detailed parcel and development specifications and includes illustrative site plans depicting parks, open space networks, pedestrian circulation, transit access, and density zoning.

THE POINT DESIGN GUIDELINES 63
Building Design Guidelines
B-20. Wrap and Podium; Midrise
Definition A wrap building has single-loaded residential units enclosing an above-grade parking structure.
A podium building has residential or commercial space above a parking podium.
Intent To provide guidance on buildings of this type.
Guidelines Required:

2. Residential buildings of five stories or more shall have a distinguishable top, middle, and base.
3. Residential units on the ground floor shall have individual entries oriented directly to the street.
4. Utilize setbacks to create semi-public space between the street and the building, with raised stoops, small front yards, low walls and/or landscape.
Recommended:
5. Private residential spaces can be defined and separated from the public realm with landscaped setbacks, lower level landscaping or high quality, lower height fences.
6. Use windows with transparent or translucent materials to balance visibility and privacy at ground floor.
7. Use balconies and bay windows to add variety and visual interest to the building and to mitigate apparent massing.
Prohibited:
8. Parking as a visible ground-floor use.
4.4 Residential Buildings

THE POINT DESIGN GUIDELINES 64
B-21. Walk-up and Town Homes
Definition Walk-Up Buildings: Residential units that share common circulation cores with defined fronts and backs, with entries in both the front and rear, and with cores that extend through the building.
Townhomes: Residential units physically attached and sharing a common wall, and each unit having a small front and rear yard.
Intent To provide design guidance for this building type.
Guidelines Required:
1. Townhomes shall have an individual entry expression and architecturally articulate the main entrance to each unit.
2. Articulate individual units within a row of similar units through changes in massing, materials, or design style.
3. If the front entry location is not visible from the street, lighting and landscape elements should define the entry path.
4. Place parking to the rear of the buildings. Provide access via a mid-block route so that the public street is unencumbered by garage doors and driveways.
Recommended:
5. Front yards should create a unified design concept along a public street.
6. Entries should receive a higher quality of materials and finishes. Emphasize residential entrances with furniture, planters, and pedestrian-scale exterior lighting.
7. Use balconies and terraces to break up large wall planes, create visual interest, and add human scale to the buildings.
8. Trash enclosures shall be compatible and consistent with the overall design character of the development.
Prohibited:
9. Groupings of attached townhome units that exceed five (5) units in width.
10. Trash enclosures that are not enclosed or covered.
Townhomes shall have an individual entry expression.
Front yards should create a unified design concept along a public street.
Articulate individual units within a row of similar units through changes in massing, materials, or design style.
4.4 Residential Buildings
(Excerpts from Master Point Design Guidelines)
THE POINT DESIGN GUIDELINES 65
B-22. Single Family Detached (SFD)
Definition A single-family residential building that is not attached to another building.
Intent To provide design guidance for this building type.
Guidelines Required:
1. Add texture and definition to primary building components through the application of high quality materials (e.g., siding, shingles) to contribute to the architectural character of the neighborhood.
2. Locate front doors so that they are visible and accessible from the street.
3. Limit curb cuts to one car in width per single family home.
Garage doors shall be oriented 90 degrees from the street where possible.
4. At least three architectural design variations shall occur on any block face.
5. Roof forms shall be varied and should include at least three roof variations in a block.
6. The same elevation shall not be repeated on adjacent homes.
7. At least three materials shall be used on a block face with no single material exceeding 60% of block frontage.
8. Non-frontage portions of homes that face a park or public street shall have enhanced elevations similar to the primary home fronts.
9. Unless required to accurately execute a specific architectural style, garages shall be set back at least 10 feet from the street-facing facade plane of the house.
Recommended:
10. Prioritize a simple volumetric expression of singular forms.
Avoid overly complex floor plans.
11. Pitched and/or gable roofs are encouraged. Avoid the use of more than two roof forms on a building.
12. Integrate the second floor space into the roof form and relate second floor elements to first floor masses.
13. All occupied rooms should have operable windows to allow for natural ventilation.
Prohibited:
14. Garages located forward of other habitable portions of the house.
At least three materials shall be used on a block face with no single material exceeding 60% of block frontage.
Locate front doors so that they are visible and accessible from the street.
Not less than three architecture styles shall occur on a block face.

Building Design Guidelines
B-23. Residential Material and Color Guidelines
Materials and colors are an important element in the creation of a unified physical environment at the Point. Masonry buildings have historically provided Wasatch Front cities with a unique architectural character. There are a number of early Utah buildings that use a regionally distinctive yellow brick. Residential buildings at the Point will employ a similar material and color palette to honor and extend these regional building traditions.
Intent To guide the use of color and materials within the project
Guidelines Required:
1. Residential buildings shall use the color palette described herein, on not less than 60% of the area of street-facing facades.
2. Compatible accent colors from the suggested accent color palette (see right) shall be used to enhance important architectural elements and details.
3. Residential buildings may vary from the base color palette subject to review from the DRC. Colors shall reflect hues found in the Wasatch Front natural environment.
Recommended:
4. Materials shall be used in a manner reflecting contemporary styles and building technologies.
Prohibited: None
Residential Base Color Palette
