The mayor and City Council enacted a temporary tempo-rary zoning ordinance in the city's Blues District, located in the southeast corner cor-ner of the Gateway. This district is listed as a mixed-use mixed-use zone. Out of 272 acres, 178 were being used or proposed pro-posed for multi-family dwellings.

"One of the most sobering reasons for taking the course is cited in the Utah Driver Handbook," Baldridge said. "Over half the drivers killed in two-car accidents in Utah were not at fault.

The Grove Theatre closed its doors in June, after several sev-eral attempts to save the historic downtown theater failed.

Omary bougfit the dinner theater in 2002, wanting to reintroduce Utah County to the performing and culinary culi-nary arts.
