12 of 1981 - Joint resolution that the Council and Mayor oppose any State legislation which creates specific zoni i
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, heretofore, the power to regulate the health, safety, and
general welfare of citizenry through zoning law is a power that has been
delegated to municipalities, and
WHEREAS, no petition has been filed with the City and Salt Lake for
addressing any possible zoning problem with respect to homes for handicapped
persons, even though the City has a process whereby any existing zoning
ordinance may be amended, and whereby new zoning ordinances may be proposed
by any interested person, and
WHEREAS, powers of government generally are best exercised at a level
closest to the citizenry, and
WHEREAS, this principal of keeping government closest to the people is one
which has received much recent public attention as many citizens have been
highly critical of Federal intervention in the power of states to control their
lands, and
WHEREAS, if this principal is valid in its application from federal to
state government, it should be equally valid in its application from state
to city government,
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SALT LAKE CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR,
that the Council and Mayor go on record as opposing any State legislation which
creates specific zoning law for municipalities, and that the Council and
Mayor go on record specifically as opposing the enactment of H.B. No. 126
concerning Residential Facility Zoning Limitation.
Passed by the City Council of Salt Lake City this 10th
day of February , 1981.
