Ivory Homes says Utah Supreme Court ‘misunderstood’ arguments over Cottonwood Mall project, asks for a rehearing

Utah’s largest homebuilder claims the state Supreme Court misunderstood legal arguments over a huge development project in Holladay and it has asked the justices to reconsider their Nov. 29 ruling in the case.

In that closely watched and unanimous opinion, the high court ruled against Ivory Homes and the city of Holladay and in favor of residents who claimed that a site master plan adopted for the old Cottonwood Mall property was “generally applicable” beyond the Ivory Homes project and could be challenged at the polls.

That ruling, which came three weeks after Holladay voters had overwhelmingly rejected the site plan on Election Day, essentially affirmed that the legal basis for that city ballot was valid.
