Result AN ORDINANCE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING Section 51-12-2 and 51-5-8 of the Revised
Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1965, relating to the rezoning
and fixing boundaries of Use Districts and exceptions to height
limitations.
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City find:
that changing residential patterns have resulted in the revitaliza-
tion of the Lower Avenue West Neighborhood as a desireable location
for single-family units as well as providing desireable multiple-
family residential units; that said neighborhood lies within the
Avenues Historical District which was created for the purpose of
preserving the unique and historical atomosphere of the structures,
streetscapes and canyon-park atmosphere to promote its enhancement
with development compatible in scale, height; etc.; and
WHEREAS, the Board is desirous of adopting a plan providing
gradual transition between zoning classifications by the creation of
a buffer zone of a medium density nature - in this case Residential
"R-5A"--between the Residential "R-2" low density zone and the area
zoned Residential "R-6" to facilitate multiple-family units of a •
medium scale that will be compatible with existing uses, and with
topographical and historical features of the neighborhood.
PURPOSE. For the reasons recited above and as further stated
in the findings of this Commission which are hereby incorporated by
reference', this Board hereby declares the purpose of this rezoning
action is to promote the health, safety, and general welfare of the
City, its inhabitants, and the existing and future residents of the
Lower West Avenues Neighborhood by promoting said neighborhood as a
desireable, safe location, unique due to its proximity to the City,
topography and historical character; to prevent the over crowding of
of land and the destruction of a historical district and Canyon-park
atmosphere with development incompatible due to density, height,
etc; to promote development in appropriate areas to attempt to
minimize adverse impacts upon the City and neighborhood in terms of
lessening traffic conjestion, demands for services etc., so that
appropriate and necessary services (police, water, sewer, fire, etc.)
may be efficiently provided to said Neighborhood and the City.

Petitioners. )
The Petitioners' Petition No. 840 of 1978 requesting the
amendment of zoning ordinances of Title 51 of the Revised Ordin-
ances of Salt Lake City, to-wit: (1) a change of zoning classi-
fications, and the Use District Map (851-12-2) , (2) an extension
of the existing Capitol Hill Protective Area (851-2-11.1) , and
(3) clarification of the maximum height of structures within
said Capitol Hill Protective Area (S51-5-8) after appropriate
published and written notice come on for public hearing before th..
Board of City Commissioners on January 4, 1979, the date set
for said hearing. Subsequently said public hearing was con-
tinued and heard on January 9th and llth to hear further testi-
mony. The first portion of the initial day of hearing was divide.
for purposes of organized presentation by said Petitioner, Mrs.
Sydney Fonnesbeck and others as the proponent of the petition
and a group named Citizens for Vital Salt Lake representing
opponents of the proposal. After organized presentation and
their rebuttals were concluded, the format of the meeting was
opened up to interested parties alternating between opponents
and proponents. Said public hearings were attended by approxi-
mately 300 persons on January 4th and 9th and a somewhat smaller
number on January 11, 1978.
This Board after hearing the testimony and evidence of
approximately 38 witnesses, and being fully advised in the
premises, does hereby enter the following
13
-2-
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. That said Petitioner 840 of 1978 requesting rezoning of
the Lower Avenues West Neighborhood (hereinafter "Neighborhood")
is not considered as a separate independent action, but is viewed
by this Commission in its historical perspective of the sensitive
controversy of the appropriate zoning and land use of the Avenues
area which has been before this Commission in various forms since
Spring of 1977. During the intervening period of time, in-depth
detailed analysis of the current characteristics of land use such
as: density, types of structures, historical significance, traffi.
patterns, residential pattern trends and needs, impacts on adjoin-
ing commercial development and the City, and the need to preserve
and protect open spaces and public resources such as Memory Grove
and City Creek Canyon have received a great deal of attention and
study from this Commission, the Planning & Zoning Commission and
Department and private parties such as the groups presenting and
opposing this petition. The City's involvment in this research
dealing with the complex issues involved, resulted in the study
and preparation of a proposed master plan update for the Avenues
area. A portion of the data collected led to the creation of the
Avenues Historical District for the purpose of encourageing develo.-
ment in the District in a manner compatible with the distinctive
nature and visual attributes of the District and to avoid develop-
ment which would be imcompatible (out of scale of size, height,
architecture, etc.) , intrusive, and destructive of the streetscape
and said District. Further, the City's concern for encouraging
the trend of revitalization and restoration of the Neighborhood
as a desirable residential location resulted in the designation of
a portion of this area as a target area for the use of Community
Block Grant's Rehabilitation Program administered through the City s
Redevelopment Agency.
Said Petition 840 of 1978 and its unsuccessful predecessor,
Petitioner 329 of 1978 constituted the logical vehicles to focus
_ 9_�3
-3-
the issue on the appropriateness of rezoning to implement por-
tions of the reports and their findings.
2. The Board finds that the Neighborhood contains many
structures, streetscapes, sites and features which are unique
due to their historical significance which should be fostered,
enhanced and preserved by appropriate land use and development.
Among such structures and locations include:
(a) A concentration of structures in the Neighborhood
have been identified as being of historical significance,
included within the Avenues Historical District. The
Neighborhood roughly constitutes the western half of said
District.
(b) Additionally, a number of individual structures
within the Neighborhood have individually been placed on
federal, state or city historical registers.
(c) The "Fourth Avenue Stairs" just west of "A"
Street is the only City street with a pedestrian stairway
traversing a canyon wall where the remaining dedicated public
area retains its natural landscaping. Said stairs also form
a natural barrier to vehicular cross-Avenue traffic which
has largely confined the traffic above Third Avenue west of
"A" Street to local residential use and the entrance to
Memory Grove.
(d) The portion of the Neighborhood north of Third
Avenue between Capitol Hill and the eastern rim of City Creek
Canyon near "A" Street geographically, topographically and
visually form the natural entrance to Memory Grove Park as
the mouth of City Creek Canyon. The existence of such a
unique canyon-park atmosphere in such proximity to both the
City's central business district and Capitol Hill is a
natural resource contributing to the beauty of the City and
high quality of life for its inhabitants.
3. The Board further finds from surveys and research
completed as part of the proposed Avenue master plan that the
-4-
deterioration and blight of the Neighborhood suffered during
urban sprawl is reversing due to restoration and revitalization by
private small capital. The result is a great increase in the
desirability of the Neighborhood for single as well as multiple
family residential units due to some of the following factors:
(a) Proximity to the central business district and
religious centers where people work and shop. Such proxi-
mity, when considered in conjunction with the City's improved
mass transit system encourages: walking and better health;
patronization of the downtown area; less use of private
vehicles thereby reducing personal costs of vehicles, gas
and parking and the public costs of pollution, space for
parking while encouraging energy conservation.
(b) After World War II, or before many of the older
large, single family homes were converted into apartments
while growing single families joined in the urban sprawl
movement growth of this county. This trend is reversing and
families are buying, restoring and often reconverting homes
in this Neighborhood to use as owner-occupied dwellings.
A decrease in the demographic density in some areas have
occurred. Another result of the long term investment in
owner-occupied restoration and rehabilitation activity is
an increased concern with: the Neighborhood's residential
quality of life, of participation in the community,
Neighborhood safety, the quality of public education,
traffic congestion, and better care of their property. The
Board feels that such activities have infused revitalizing
energy into the Neighborhood and changed some of its demo-
graphic characteristics, thereby strengthening the City.
The Board acknowledges and commends such activity and
desires to encourage its continuance by rezoning particular
areas of the Neighborhood to Residential R-2 to more clearly
reflect the prime demographic characteristics of those blocks.
118
-5-
(c) The revitalization and restoration of homes in
the Neighborhood by owner occupants has increased the demand
for single family units but concomittantly increased the
value and desirability of the Neighborhood for use as mul-
tiple family units in a safe, stable, convenient residential
location, attracting new interest in commercial residential
investment in the Neighborhood.
(d) Because of the revitalization, two forces, owner
occupants and developers, compete for the finite commodity
of land and are often at cross purposes when new development
is concerned. New development generally contemplates
destruction of the structures owner-occupants desire to
restore. New development is often planned by persons not
residing within the Neighborhood who are viewed as having
only pecuniary interests in the Neighborhood who are not
concerned iwth the impact of the development on the Neigh-
borhood or bear its impact on the quality of life by the
residents of the Neighborhood. The traditional cross pur-
poses and conflicts are accentuated in the Neighborhood
because of its historical and unique flavor where new develop-
ment available under existing Residential "R-6" ordinances
is often destructive of the District by removing the older
structures themselves, compounded by construction of new
structures incompatible and intrusive by sheer height, scale,
or other visual characteristics.
4. This Board acknowledges the need of the City to meet the
increased residential demands for the older couples, young or
single persons that are best served in the current market by
multi-family units in desirable, safe, stable residential neigh-
borhoods. To this group proximity is equally important and also
benefits the vitality of a nearby central business district.
The lower Avenues has long served this purpose with an apartment
house zoning classification and we believe it will continue to
do so under either the Residential "R-5A" or "R-6" apartment
classifications for:
13
-6-
(a) Existing structures will not be affected by
this decision and may continue as nonconforming uses; and
(b) There is a place for development of multi-family
units - be they apartments or condominiums - on a medium
scale in terms of height, density, etc. Many of the existin.
apartments are of such a nature being 3-4 stories in
height.
(c) Such medium scale of structures located in "R-6"
areas lead us to believe their construction at a scale less
than the potential maximum high rise indicates there is a
market that brings owners an acceptable rate of return on a
scale that could be served by "R-5A" classification,
particularly with incentives provided by the classification,
but said incentives should apply to all property classified
Residential "R-5A" in the Neighborhood to encourage use
of the incentives to obtain underground parking.
5. That varied needs and demands for residential units
in the development can best be served by the Residential "R-2"
(low density) , "R-5A" (medium density) and "R-6" (high density)
classifications to guide the development. It is preferable, in
the location of such zones in an attempt to ameliorate inevitable
conflicts and different characteristics of each, to separate the
most different zones ("R-2" and "R-6") by a buffer zone ("R-5A")
for a more gradual and harmonious transition.
6. The difficult legislative decision is to determine
specific boundary lines to be designated "R-2", "R-5A" and
"R-6". A duty that weighs heavily upon this Commission as'it
considers existing residential trends, uses and, scale the his.tor
ical value, traffic patterns and congestion, natural barriers
and boundaries, topographical features including the canyon,
the Avenues hill and the lower approach, the characteristics of
canyon-park open spaces and streetscapes, the ability and obsta-
cles to providing necessary services, etc. and the impact upon
-7-
existing and future growth and strength of the City and the Neigh-
borhood.
7. That the Board finds that the "R-6" classification,
once the basic apartment classification but which is now designed
to accomodate relatively high density multi-family residential
units including high rise-type structures, should be reduced and
retained in lower Avenues area with greatest proximity to the
business district below the mouth of the Canyon west of "A"
Street where traffic patterns can accomodate higher concentra-
tions of persons, where extreme height and large scale buildings
are a compatible extension of the business district, where ser-
vices can be provided without topographical obstacles of high
steep grades, narrow streets, where proximity to town will en-
courage pedestrian activity for larger numbers of persons, where
the zone will act as a buffer to nearby commercial districts on
South Temple, and where such development will not intrude into
the mouth of the canyon - north of Third Avenue where the canyon-
park atmosphere particularly commences.
8. The Board finds that the Residential "R-5A" classifi-
cation, which is designed to accomodate medium scale and density
multi-family residential units which could include structures up
to 35 feet in height (or 45 feet if underground parking and other
structural designs are made to obtain the additional height incen-
tive) is most conducive to encouraging new development which would
be compatible in scale with the historical district, street scape,
topographical features and canyon-park atmosphere in the areas
between Third and Fourth Avenue between Canyon Road and "A"
Street, and the area east of "A" Street between First Avenue
and Fourth Avenue, except for the four blocks between Second and
Fourth Avenues and "C" and "F" Streets, which we find to be
more low density in character or "R-2". Said above areas to be
reclassified "R-5A" in addition to being more compatible in
terms of scale, height, etc., also provides an appropriate area
13
-8-
for natural transition of scale between "R-2" and "R-6" areas.
This provides for meeting needs for desirable multi-family resi-
dential units that will maintain the open space and other amenitie•
required of the "R-5A" zone which shall be more compatible to
enhance the unique atmosphere of the Neighborhood. Said zoning
is also compatible as a transition into the already protected
Capitol Hill Protective Area which is designed to promote and
preserve the visual prominence of the Capitol Building on Capitol
Hill by prohibiting and further visual obstruction of the Capitol
by buildings which are out of scale with existing heights.
9. The proposed extension of the boundary of the Capitol
Hill Protective Area which would impose a maximum limit of 35
feet on structures that owuld fall within a portion of the buffer
area zoned "R-5A". The effect of such an extension would be to
deny structural design incentives enjoyed by the rest of area zone.
"R-5A" in an area that has topographic features which are will
suited to the design elements (underground parking, open space)
which we desire to encourage. The durrent maximum height of 45
feet also serves as a transition for height. Consequently, we
find an extension of the Capitol Hill Protective Area is not needet
in the buffer area south of Fourth Avenue zoned "R-SA" and is
otherwise inimical to purposes served by the medium scale "R-5A"
zoning classification with incentives.
10. We find that due to the restoration activity within
the Neighborhood, much of the current zoning pattern does not
reflect the current low desity use. Due to constraints to develop
ment such as topographical features, relatively narrow canyon
areas, street grades, small narror streets, we find that areas
of the Neighborhood along the west side of Canyon Road and then
stretching east along and above Fourth Avenue plus the three
blocks immediately west and north of Lowell Elementary School
would be better served by a Residential "R-2" classifications. Th-
purpose of the "R-2" zone is to more accurately reflect the
13
-9.
existing low density use, encourage compatible development that
will provide an attractive safe area to attract families to come
and remain in this City to contribute to the growth and continued
vitalization needed to maintain the high quality of life for
Salt Lake City residents.
11. In light of the adverse impacts thatoan occur within
an area when a zoning change is under consideration, and in an
attempt to bring to an end any doubt or confusion to gain stability
in the implementation of this controversial decision, we find it
is in the best interest of the City that the current temporary
regulation of building permits be repealed, decision announced
January 11, become effective upon the first date of their
publication.
