Mixed use development along Sugarmont Ave. and 1000 E. in Sugarhouse.  Sugarhouse Trolley, right, runs west towards State Street Tuesday May 1, 2018.   A Housing Gap Coalition formed by the Salt Lake Chamber of Commertce is going to encourage local government officials to adopt more flexible zoning policies and to cut regulatory fees to stimulate the development of more types of housing, particularly units affordable for lower income people, in all parts of the Salt Lake Valley.  The goal is to get more mixes of housing — high density, high rise apartments next to single family homes alongside smaller apartment buildings with some businesses too.
