(Amending Titles 5, 14, and 21A of the Salt Lake City Code to consolidate commercial zoning

An ordinance amending the text of Title 21A of the Salt Lake City Code pertaining to the
creation of mixed use zoning districts and the consolidation of certain commercial zoning
districts, pursuant to Petition No. PLMPCM2024-00707.

Commission (“Planning Commission”) held public hearings on a petition submitted by Mayor

(Petition No. PLMPCM2024-00707); and
WHEREAS, at its October 23 and November 13, 2024 meetings, the Planning
Commission voted in favor of forwarding a positive recommendation to the Salt Lake City
Council (“City Council”) on said petition; and
WHEREAS, after a public hearing on this matter the City Council has determined that
adopting this ordinance is in the city’s best interests.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. Amending the text of Subsection 5.04.070.E. That Subsection 5.04.070.E
of the Salt Lake City Code (Business Taxes, Licenses and Regulations: Business Licenses:
License Fees Levied: Enhanced Services) is hereby amended as follows:
E. Reserved.
47A

SECTION 2. Amending the text of Subsection 14.36.010.F. That Subsection
14.36.010.F of the Salt Lake City Code (Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places: News Racks:
Purpose and Intent of Provisions) is hereby amended as follows:
F. The city's central business district and an expanded area surrounding it, and the Sugar
House business district, as defined by city code or adopted general plan, are particularly
congested and important areas. The aesthetically pleasing and functional design and regulation of
the use of streets and sidewalks in the expanded central business district and Sugar House
business district are extremely important in developing and maintaining order for the public
good.
SECTION 3. Amending the text of Subsection 14.36.010.H. That Subsection
14.36.010.H of the Salt Lake City Code (Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places: News Racks:
Purpose and Intent of Provisions) is hereby amended as follows:
H. Historically, the use of the streets for commercial enterprise has been precluded to
preserve the streets for public purposes and to avoid the appropriation of public property or the
creation of unfair economic advantage to businesses competing in the business district on private
property. Distribution of newspapers has been a notable, but limited, exception allowed in
business districts to accommodate convenient dissemination of the news to encourage an
informed citizenry, even though such distribution from news racks competes with other retail or
subscription methods. Use of city owned property and public rights of way in mixed use districts
where subscription is less common should not be absolutely denied, but such use is subordinate
to the property's use for public purposes. This private use of the city owned property and public
rights of way, afforded certain constitutional protection under freedom of expression, is being
regulated to ensure subordination to public purposes and protection to the city and its residents.
SECTION 4. Amending the text of Subsection 14.36.040.B. That Subsection
14.36.040.B of the Salt Lake City Code (Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places: News Racks:
News Racks Allowed Only In Specified Areas) is hereby amended as follows:
B. News racks shall be lawful on city owned property and in the public right of way within
the Sugar House business district as identified in the adopted general plan.

SECTION 5. Amending the text of Subsection 14.38.010.H. That Subsection
14.38.010.H of the Salt Lake City Code (Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places: Sidewalk
Entertainers and Artists: Purpose and Intent of Provisions) is hereby amended as follows:
H. The city has established various zoning districts within the city in recognition of the
differing character, nature and use of specific areas of the city, and it is in the public interest,
both for citizens and artists, to concentrate artists in those districts where their activities would be
most compatible with the primary character, nature and use of the district; it is in the public
interest to concentrate artists primarily in areas that are likely to include a mix of businesses that
may benefit from increased customers due to street artists and entertainers being in the area and
near a mix of housing types with varying residential densities;
SECTION 6. Amending the text of Section 14.38.030. That Section 14.38.030 of the
Salt Lake City Code (Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places: Sidewalk Entertainers and Artists:

chapter, the following open space standards apply.
1. Open Space Area: A minimum of 10% of the lot area shall be provided as open
space area, unless otherwise specified in this chapter. Open space area may include landscaped
yards, patios, dining areas, common balconies, rooftop gardens, and other similar outdoor living
spaces. Private balconies, required parking lot landscaping, or required perimeter parking lot
29
landscaping, shall not be counted toward the minimum open space area requirement, except
where specifically authorized by the individual district.
a. A minimum of 20% of the required open space area shall include vegetation. Tree
canopy at maturity shall count toward the vegetation area requirement.
b. At least one open space area shall have a minimum dimension of 15 feet by 15
feet. This does not apply to the row house building form, except when the required open space
area is consolidated into a shared common space.
c. Open space areas that are greater than 500 square feet shall contain at least one
useable element from the following list:
(1) A bench for every 250 square feet of open space area;

opportunities including walking paths, playgrounds, seating areas, gardens, sports courts, or
similar amenities intended to promote outdoor activity;
(4) Trees with a minimum spread of 20 feet at mature height to shade a minimum
of 33% of the open space area; and/or
(5) Vegetation that equals at least 33% of the open space area.
d. For development sites that involve subdividing the site into multiple lots, the open
space area requirement may be applied to the entire site instead of per lot.
E. Midblock Walkways: The purpose of requiring midblock walkways is to ensure that
pedestrian facilities are provided in areas where the general plan identifies an increase in density,
population, and people who will rely on using existing sidewalks to fulfill daily needs. A
minimum width is required to ensure that sidewalks and walkways are sufficient to
accommodate the anticipated number of people. When required by this chapter, midblock
walkways are subject to the following requirements:
1. Width: The midblock walkway shall be a minimum of 10 feet wide, except those
identified in the downtown plan shall be a minimum of 15 feet wide. If the walkway is more than
20% of the lot width, the midblock walkway may be reduced to 6 feet. The width of the
midblock walkway may be located within and included as a portion or all of a required setback.
2. Location: The midblock walkway may be incorporated into the interior of the
building provided it is open to the public. A sign shall be posted indicating that the public may
use the walkway.
3. Encroachments: The following building encroachments are permitted in an
outdoor midblock walkway:
a. Balconies: All balconies must be located at the third story or above;
b. Building overhangs and associated cantilever: These coverings may be between
nine and fourteen feet above the level of the sidewalk and may project up to 6 feet.
c. Skybridge: A single skybridge is permitted and may only be located at the third,
fourth, or fifth stories; and
30
d. Other architectural element(s) not listed above that offer refuge from weather
and/or provide publicly accessible usable space, projecting up to one foot into the midblock
walkway.
F. Uses Not Associated with Building Form: Allowed uses that do not involve the
construction of a building, such as parks and open space, are not required to comply with any
specific building form regulation. All other buildings shall be classified as one of the identified
building types allowed in the zoning district.
G. General Yard and Setback Provisions:
1. Front/Corner Side Yard Exceptions and Modifications:
a. Landscape Yard Exceptions: Plazas, courtyards, outdoor dining, or similar areas,
may be located in any required or provided front/corner side landscape yard and may exceed the
impervious surface limits of 21A.48.060.C. However, the minimum vegetation requirement still
applies.
b. Utility Easements Exception: When an existing utility easement prevents a
building from complying with the maximum front/corner side yard or build-to requirement, the
maximum front yard setback or build-to requirement shall be at the edge of the easement.
c. Active Outdoor Spaces Exception: The maximum front/corner side yard setback
and build-to requirements may be increased if the additional setback area is used for plazas,
courtyards, outdoor dining areas, or other similar uses.
d. Curb Distance Exception: No minimum setback is required for the front or corner
side yard if the respective lot line is more than 30 feet from the street curb face.
e. Design Review Modifications: In addition to the by-right modifications allowed
in this chapter, all front and corner side yard and build-to regulations of this chapter may be
modified through the design review process in Chapter 21A.59.
2. General Yard/Setback Applicability: Minimum required yards apply to the
perimeter of a development site and not to the individual lots within the development site.
3. Maximum Setbacks/Build-To Lines: Where not otherwise specified, maximum
setbacks and build-to lines only apply to 75% of the front building line.
4. Side/Rear Yard Setback Abutting Alleys: The width of an abutting alley may be
counted toward the abutting required side or rear yard setback requirement.
5. Doorways and Zero Setbacks: Doors are not allowed to swing into the public
right-of-way.
6. Accessory Building Setbacks: Accessory buildings are not subject to the
maximum setback or build-to requirements.
H. Public Street Frontage:
1. Buildings without Frontage: Multiple buildings are allowed on a single lot
regardless of street frontage. When lots are authorized without frontage according to subsection
2, all principal buildings within the development site are exempt from having public street
31
frontage. The buildings may exceed the maximum front yard setback and build-to requirements,
provided that:
a. At least one principal building on the lot or development site has public
street frontage and meets front yard setback and build-to requirements;
b. Each building has legally established access to a public street that includes
a minimum 5-foot wide paved walkway and vehicle access to any provided parking on
the lot, and
c. Each ground floor dwelling unit of the row house, urban house, two-

21A.37.050, regardless of street frontage.
2. Lots without Frontage: Lots without public street frontage, used for individual
dwelling units or buildings, are allowed subject to a preliminary subdivision plat process and
recording a final subdivision plat that:
a. Documents that new lots have adequate access to a public street by way of
easements or a shared driveway; and
b. Includes a disclosure of private infrastructure costs for any shared infrastructure
associated with the new lot(s) per Section 21A.55.110 of this title and all other requirements
therein.
I. Building Heights:
1. Measurement: Building height in this chapter is measured from finished grade.
2. Additional Height Allowance: When a qualifying “Enhanced Active Ground
Floor Use” is provided within the ground floor use area required by 21A.37.050.A or this
chapter, any additional vertical ceiling space over 8 feet in height (measured to the finished
ceiling) on that floor may be added to the total allowable height of the building.
3. Topographic Exception: The maximum height of buildings may be increased up
to 10% on any building face due to the natural topography of the site pursuant to the following
standards:
a. At least 50% of the building complies with the maximum height of the underlying
zoning district; and
b. The modification allows the upper floor of a building to be level with the portion
of the building that complies with the maximum building height of the zone without the 10%
modification.
J. Site Plan Review: In certain districts, permitted uses and conditional uses have the
potential for adverse impacts if located and laid out without careful planning. Such impacts may
interfere with the use and enjoyment of adjacent property and uses. Site plan review is a process
designed to address such adverse impacts and minimize them where possible. Site plan review is
required for all conditional uses, and all permitted uses except single-family dwellings, two-
family dwellings, and twin homes. All uses in these districts shall be subject to the site plan
review regulations contained in Chapter 21A.58.

commercial and mixed-use development located within and serving residential neighborhoods.
Buildings in this district are generally no taller than two stories. The main purpose of the district
is to provide neighborhood-serving commercial uses; however, residential uses may be allowed
as part of a mixed-use development. Development regulations are intended to reinforce the
historic scale and design of traditional neighborhood-serving businesses that are oriented toward
the pedestrian, restricted in size to promote local orientation, and designed to limit adverse
impacts on nearby residential areas. This zone is appropriate in areas supported by applicable
general plans and along local streets. This designation may also be appropriate along collector
streets in areas with low-scale development patterns.
B. Ground Floor Use: The following regulations apply to the ground floor use area required
by Table 21A.37.060. Enhanced Active Use, as indicated in 21A.37.050.A.2, is required except

Code (Zoning: Commercial Districts) is hereby deleted in its entirety:
46
CHAPTER 21A.26
COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS
21A.26.010: GENERAL PROVISIONS:
A. Statement Of Intent: Salt Lake City commercial districts are intended to enhance the
economic vitality of the specific commercial districts and the City as a whole, encourage
sustainable and profitable businesses, create dynamic and vital business districts, and implement
the adopted development policies of the City. The zoning districts differ in the range and
intensity of uses to reflect the diverse nature of the commercial areas within the City. Some
zoning districts encourage commercial development that supports residential neighborhoods
while other zoning districts promote community and regional commercial areas. Each zoning
district includes standards and land uses that are intended to provide certainty to property
owners, business owners and neighbors about what is allowed and to enhance employment
opportunities, encourage efficient use of land and to enhance property values and the tax base.
The standards are intended to allow development flexibility within parameters that support the
purpose statement of the individual zoning districts and promote the desired character for the
commercial area.
B. Site Plan Review: In certain districts, permitted uses and conditional uses have the
potential for adverse impacts if located and laid out without careful planning. Such impacts may
interfere with the use and enjoyment of adjacent property and uses. Site plan review is a process
designed to address such adverse impacts and minimize them where possible. Site plan review is
required for all conditional uses, and all permitted uses except single-family dwellings, two-
family dwellings and twin homes. All uses in these districts shall be subject to the site plan
review regulations contained in chapter 21A.58 of this title.
C. Impact Controls and General Restrictions in the Commercial Districts:
1. Refuse Control: Temporary storage of refuse materials shall be limited to that
produced on the premises. Refuse containers must be covered and shall be stored within
completely enclosed buildings or screened in conformance with the requirements of chapter
21A.48 of this title. For buildings existing as of April 12, 1995, this screening provision shall be
required if the floor area or parking requirements are increased by twenty five percent (25%) or
more by an expansion to the building or change in the type of land use.
2. Lighting: On site lighting shall be located, directed or designed in such a manner
as to contain and direct light and glare to the property on which it is located only.
3. Outdoor Sales, Display Or Storage: "Sales and display (outdoor)" and "storage
and display (outdoor)", as defined in chapter 21A.62 of this title, are allowed where specifically
authorized in the table of permitted and conditional uses in section 21A.33.030 of this title.
These uses shall also conform to the following:
a. The outdoor sales or display of merchandise shall not encroach into areas of
required parking;
47
b. The outdoor sales or display of merchandise shall not be located in any required
yard area within the lot;
c. The outdoor sales or display of merchandise shall not include the use of banners,
pennants, or strings of pennants;
d. Outdoor storage shall be required to be fully screened with opaque fencing not to
exceed seven feet (7') in height; and
e. Outdoor sales and display and outdoor storage shall also be permitted when part
of an authorized temporary use as established in chapter 21A.42 of this title.
D. Permitted Uses: The uses specified as permitted uses in section 21A.33.030, "Table Of
Permitted And Conditional Uses For Commercial Districts", of this title are permitted provided
that they comply with all requirements of this chapter, the general standards set forth in part IV
of this title, and all other applicable requirements of this title.
E. Conditional Uses: The uses specified as conditional uses in section 21A.33.030, "Table

for conditional uses set forth in chapter 21A.54 of this title, and comply with all other applicable
requirements of this title.
F. Accessory Uses, Buildings And Structures: Accessory uses and structures are permitted
in the Commercial Districts subject to the requirements of this chapter, subsection 21A.36.020B,
section 21A.36.030, and chapter 21A.40 of this title.
G. Off Street Parking And Loading: The parking and loading requirements for the
Commercial Districts are set forth in chapter 21A.44 of this title.
H. Landscaping And Buffering: The landscaping and buffering requirements for the
Commercial Districts shall be as specified in chapter 21A.48, including section 21A.48.110, of
this title.
I. Signs: Signs shall be allowed in the Commercial Districts in accordance with provisions
of chapter 21A.46 of this title.
J. Modifications to Maximum Height: The maximum height of buildings in commercial
zoning districts may be increased up to ten percent (10%) on any building face due to the natural
topography of the site pursuant to the following standards:
1. At least fifty percent (50%) of the building complies with the maximum height of
the underlying zoning district;
2. The modification allows the upper floor of a building to be level with the portion
of the building that complies with the maximum building height of the zone without the ten
percent (10%) modification; and
3. The height of the ground floor is at least twelve (12) feet in height measured from
finished floor to finished ceiling height.

neighborhoods. This district is appropriate in areas where supported by applicable master plans
and along local streets that are served by multiple transportation modes, such as pedestrian,
bicycle, transit and automobiles. The standards for the district are intended to reinforce the
historic scale and ambiance of traditional neighborhood retail that is oriented toward the
pedestrian while ensuring adequate transit and automobile access. Uses are restricted in size to
promote local orientation and to limit adverse impacts on nearby residential areas.
B. Uses: Uses in the CN Neighborhood Commercial District as specified in section
21A.33.030, "Table Of Permitted And Conditional Uses For Commercial Districts", of this title,
are permitted subject to the general provisions set forth in section 21A.26.010 of this chapter and

21A.26.025: SNB SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT:
A. Purpose Statement: The purpose of the Small Neighborhood Business Zoning District is
to provide areas for small commercial uses to be located adjacent to residential land uses,
including mid block. This district will preserve and enhance older commercial structures and
storefront character by allowing a variety of commercial uses and placing more strict regulations
on new construction and major additions to existing buildings. The regulations are intended to
restrict the size and scale of the commercial uses in order to mitigate negative impacts to
adjacent residential development and encourage pedestrian oriented development. This zoning
district is appropriate in places where it is supported by a community master plan, small area
master plan or other adopted City policies.
B. Uses: Uses in the SNB Small Neighborhood Business District are as specified in the table
of permitted and conditional uses set forth in chapter 21A.33 of this title.

21A.26.030: CB COMMUNITY BUSINESS DISTRICT:
A. Purpose Statement: The CB Community Business District is intended to provide for the
close integration of moderately sized commercial areas with adjacent residential neighborhoods.
The design guidelines are intended to facilitate retail that is pedestrian in its orientation and
scale, while also acknowledging the importance of transit and automobile access to the site.
B. Uses: Uses in the CB Community Business District as specified in section 21A.33.030,
"Table Of Permitted And Conditional Uses For Commercial Districts", of this title are permitted
subject to the general provisions set forth in section 21A.26.010 of this chapter and this section.
C. Planned Development Review: Planned developments, which meet the intent of the
ordinance, but not the specific design criteria outlined in the following subsections, may be
approved by the Planning Commission pursuant to the provisions of chapter 21A.55 of this title.
D. Lot Size Requirements: No minimum lot area or lot width is required, however any lot
exceeding four (4) acres in size shall be allowed only through the design review process (chapter
21A.59 of this title).
E. Building Size Limits: Buildings in excess of seven thousand five hundred (7,500) gross
square feet of floor area for a first floor footprint or in excess of fifteen thousand (15,000) gross
square feet floor area overall, shall be allowed only through the design review process (chapter
21A.59 of this title). An unfinished basement used only for storage or parking shall be allowed in
addition to the total square footage. In addition to the design review standards in chapter 21A.59
of this title, the Planning Commission shall also consider the following standards:
1. Compatibility: The proposed height and width of new buildings and additions
shall be visually compatible with buildings found on the block face.
2. Roofline: The roof shape of a new building or addition shall be similar to roof
shapes found on the block face.
3. Vehicular Access: New buildings and additions shall provide a continuous street
wall of buildings with minimal breaks for vehicular access.
4. Facade Design: Facade treatments should be used to break up the mass of larger
buildings so they appear to be multiple, smaller scale buildings. Varied rooflines, varied facade
planes, upper story step backs, and lower building heights for portions of buildings next to less
intensive zoning districts may be used to reduce the apparent size of the building.
5. Buffers: When located next to low density residential uses, the Planning
Commission may require larger setbacks, landscape buffers and/or fencing than what are
required by this title if the impacts of the building mass and location of the building on the site
create noise, light trespass or impacts created by parking and service areas.
53
6. Step Backs: When abutting single-story development and/or a public street, the
Planning Commission may require that any story above the ground story be stepped back from
the building foundation at grade to address compatibility issues with the other buildings on the
block face and/or uses.

title.
6. Maximum Setback: A maximum setback is required for at least seventy five
percent (75%) of the building facade. The maximum setback is fifteen feet (15'). Exceptions to
this requirement may be authorized through the design review process, subject to the
requirements of Chapter 21A.59 of this title, and the review and approval of the planning
commission. The planning director, in consultation with the transportation director, may modify
this requirement if the adjacent public sidewalk is substandard and the resulting modification to
the setback results in a more efficient public sidewalk. The planning director may waive this
requirement for any addition, expansion, or intensification, which increases the floor area or
parking requirement by less than fifty percent (50%) if the planning director finds the following:
a. The architecture of the addition is compatible with the architecture of the original
structure or the surrounding architecture.

A. Purpose Statement: The purpose of the CG General Commercial District is to provide an
environment for a variety of commercial uses, some of which involve the outdoor display/storage
of merchandise or materials. This district provides economic development opportunities through
a mix of land uses, including retail sales and services, entertainment, office, residential, heavy
commercial and low intensities of manufacturing and warehouse uses. This district is appropriate
in locations where supported by applicable master plans and along major arterials. Safe,
convenient and inviting connections that provide access to businesses from public sidewalks,
bike paths and streets are necessary. Access should follow a hierarchy that places the pedestrian
first, bicycle second and automobile third. The standards are intended to create a safe and
aesthetically pleasing commercial environment for all users.
60
B. Uses: Uses in the CG General Commercial District as specified in Section 21A.33.030,

1. If provided, the yard must include one of the following elements:
a. Seating at a ratio of at least one bench for every five hundred (500) square feet of
yard space; or
b. Landscaping that includes an increase of at least twenty five percent (25%) in the
total number of trees required to be planted on the site; or
c. Awning or a similar form of weather protection that covers at least five feet in
width and length from all street-facing building entrances.
2. Regardless of the setback provided, doors shall be setback a minimum distance to
allow the door to operate without swinging into a right of way or midblock walkway.
3. All provided front or corner side yards must contain a tree every thirty feet (30').
4. The planning director, in consultation with the transportation director, may
modify this requirement to accommodate a wider sidewalk if the adjacent public sidewalk is less
than fifteen feet (15') wide and the resulting modification to the setback results in a more
efficient public sidewalk. The planning director may waive this requirement for any addition,
expansion, or intensification, which increases the floor area or parking requirement by less than
fifty percent (50%) if the planning director finds the following:
a. The architecture of the addition is compatible with the architecture of the original
structure or the surrounding architecture, or
61
b. The addition reduces the extent of the noncompliance of the existing building.
5. Exceptions to this subsection may be authorized through the design review

seventy five feet (75') to a maximum of one hundred and five feet (105') outside of the described
boundary may be allowed in accordance with the provisions of Subsections G.1 through G.3 of
this section.
Illustration of Regulation 21A.26.070.G Maximum Height
1. Procedure For Modification: A modification to the height regulations, in this
Subsection G may be granted through the design review process in conformance with the
provisions of Chapter 21A.59 of this title. In evaluating an application submitted pursuant to this
section, the planning commission or in the case of an administrative approval the planning director
or designee, shall find that the increased height will result in improved site layout and amenities.
2. Outdoor Usable Space: If additional height is approved, the site shall include
outdoor usable space for the building occupants that is equal to at least ten percent (10%) of the
gross floor area of the additional floors. The outdoor usable area may be located within a wider
park strip that extends further into the right of way than the current park strip, in midblock
walkways that include a public access easement, in rooftop gardens, plazas, or in a provided yard
62
that exceeds the minimum yard requirement. The outdoor usable space shall include a minimum
dimension of at least ten feet (10') by ten feet (10').
3. Maximum Additional Height for Properties Outside of Boundary Identified in
Subsection G: Additional height shall be limited to thirty feet (30') subject to the provisions in
Subsection G.2 for a maximum height of one hundred five feet (105').
H. Midblock Walkways: As part of the city's plan for the downtown area, it is intended that
midblock walkways be provided to facilitate pedestrian movement within the area. The city has
adopted the Downtown Plan that includes a midblock walkway map and establishes a need for
such walkways as the Downtown area grows. Because the districts within the downtown area
allow building heights that exceed those of other districts in the city, the requirement for a
midblock walkway is considered to be necessary to alleviate pedestrian impacts on the public
sidewalks by dispersing future use of the public sidewalks. This requirement implements the
city's Downtown Plan and provides visual relief from the additional height that is available in
these zone districts when compared to the remainder of the city. All buildings constructed after
the effective date hereof within the Downtown zoning districts shall conform to this officially
adopted plan for midblock walkways, in addition to the following standards:
1. Any new development shall provide a midblock walkway if a midblock walkway
on the subject property has been identified in a master plan that has been adopted by the city.
2. The following standards apply to the midblock walkway:
a. The midblock walkway must be a minimum of fifteen feet (15') wide and include
a minimum six feet (6') wide unobstructed path.
b. The midblock walkway may be incorporated into the building provided it is open
to the public. A sign shall be posted indicating that the public may use the walkway.
c. Building encroachments into the midblock walkway are permitted if they include
one or more of the following elements:
(1) Colonnades;
(2) Staircases;
(3) Balconies - All balconies must be located at the third story or above;
(4) Building overhangs and associated cantilever - These coverings may be
between nine feet (9') and fourteen feet (14') above the level of the sidewalk. They shall provide
a minimum depth of coverage of six feet (6') and project no closer to the curb than three feet
(3');
(5) Skybridge - A single skybridge is permitted. All skybridges must be
located at the third, fourth, or fifth stories; and
(6) Other architectural element(s) not listed above that offers refuge from
weather and/or provide publicly accessible usable space.

63
I. Restrictions on Parking Lots and Structures: An excessive amount of at or above ground
parking lots and structures can negatively impact the urban design objectives of the General
Commercial (CG) District. To control such impacts, the following regulations shall apply to
parking facilities that are at or above ground:
1. Parking shall be located behind principal buildings or incorporated into the
principal building provided the parking is wrapped on street facing facades with a use allowed in
the zone other than parking.
2. Parking lots not wholly behind the principal building are limited to no more than
two double-loaded parking aisles (bays) adjacent to each other. The length of a parking lot shall
not exceed ten (10) stalls.
3. No special restrictions shall apply to belowground parking facilities.
4. Parking structures shall conform to the requirements set forth in Chapter 21A.37
of this title.
5. All parking lot and structure landscaping must comply with the provisions set
forth in Chapter 21A.48 of this title.
21A.26.077: TC-75 TRANSIT CORRIDOR DISTRICT:
21A.26.078: TSA TRANSIT STATION AREA DISTRICT:
A. Purpose Statement: The purpose of the TSA Transit Station Area District is to provide an
environment for efficient and attractive transit and pedestrian oriented commercial, residential
and mixed use development around transit stations. Redevelopment, infill development and
increased development on underutilized parcels should include uses that allow them to function
as part of a walkable, mixed use district. Existing uses that are complementary to the district, and
economically and physically viable, should be integrated into the form and function of a
64
compact, mixed use pedestrian oriented neighborhood. Each transit station is categorized into a
station type. These typologies are used to establish appropriate zoning regulations for similar
station areas. Each station area will typically have two (2) subsections: the core area and the
transition area. Due to the nature of the area around specific stations, the restrictions of overlay
zoning districts, and the neighborhood vision, not all station areas are required to have a core
area and a transition area.
1. Core Area: The purpose of the core area is to provide areas for comparatively
intense land development with a mix of land uses incorporating the principles of sustainable,
transit oriented development and to enhance the area closest to a transit station as a lively, people
oriented place. The core area may mix ground floor retail, office, commercial and residential
space in order to activate the public realm.
2. Transition Area: The purpose of the transition area is to provide areas for a
moderate level of land development intensity that incorporates the principles of sustainable
transit oriented development. The transition area is intended to provide an important support base
to the core area and transit ridership as well as buffer surrounding neighborhoods from the
intensity of the core area. These areas reinforce the viability of the core area and provide
opportunities for a range of housing types at different densities. Transition areas typically serve
the surrounding neighborhood and include a broad range of building forms that house a mix of
compatible land uses. Commercial uses may include office, retail, restaurant and other
commercial land uses that are necessary to create mixed use neighborhoods.
B. Station Area Types: A station area typology is the use of characteristics, such as building
types, mix of land use, transit service and street network to create generalizations about an area
that can be used to define a common vision for development of a transit station area. Each
typology recognizes the important difference among places and destinations and takes into
account the local context of a station and its surroundings. Refer to the official Salt Lake City
zoning map to determine the zoning of the land within each station area.
1. Urban Center Station (TSA-UC): An urban center station contains the highest
relative intensity level and mix of uses. The type of station area is meant to support downtown
Salt Lake and not compete with it in terms of building scale and use.
2. Urban Neighborhood Station (TSA-UN): An evolving and flexible development
pattern defines an urban neighborhood station area. Urban neighborhoods consist of multilevel
buildings that are generally lower scale than what is found in the urban center station area. The
desired mix of uses would include ground floor commercial or office uses with the intent of
creating a lively, active, and safe streetscape.
3. Mixed Use Employment Center Station (TSA-MUEC): A mixed use employment
station is an area with a high concentration of jobs that attract people from the entire region.
Buildings are often large scale in nature and may have large footprints. Land uses that support
the employment centers such as retail sales and service and restaurants are located throughout the
station area and should occupy ground floor space in multi-story buildings oriented to the
pedestrian and transit user. A mix of housing types and sizes are appropriate to provide
employees with the choice to live close to where they work. Building types should trend toward
more flexible building types over time. Connectivity for all modes of travel is important due to
the limited street network.
65
4. Special Purpose Station (TSA-SP): The special purpose station is typically
centered on a specific land use or large scale regional activity. These areas are generally served
by a mix of transit options. Land uses such as restaurants and retail support the dominant land
use and attract people to the area. A mix of housing types and sizes are appropriate in certain
situations. Future development should be aimed at increasing the overall intensity and frequency
of use in the station area by adding a mix of uses that can be arranged and designed to be
compatible with the primary use.
C. Review Process: The review process for all new development and redevelopment within
the Transit Station Area Zoning District is based on the development score which is generated by
the "Transit Station Area Development Guidelines" hereby adopted by reference.
1. The following types of development are required to go through this review
process:
a. Any addition of one thousand (1,000) square feet or more that extend a street
facing building facade or are located to the side of a building and are visible from a public space;
or
b. Additions that increase the height of an existing building or change the existing
roofline;
c. Additions to the rear of buildings that are not adjacent to a public street, trail or
other public space are not required to obtain a development score but must comply with all other
applicable regulations. Signs, fences, accessory structures and any other structure or addition not
listed in this section are not required to obtain a development score.
d. Single-family detached dwellings and two-family dwellings are not required to
obtain a development score.
2. Application process steps:
a. Presubmittal Conference: All applicants for development within the TSA Transit
Station Area Zoning District are required to attend a presubmittal conference with the planning
division. The purpose of the presubmittal conference is to notify the applicant of the goals of the
station area plans, the standards in this section, and the review and approval process.
b. Development Review Application: After a presubmittal conference, the developer
can submit a development review application. This application and all submittal requirements
will be used to determine the development score. The application shall include a score sheet on
which the development guidelines and their assigned values are indicated and two (2) checklists:
one for the applicant's use and one for the planning division's use.
c. Public Noticing: A notice of application for a development review shall be
provided in accordance with Chapter 21A.10 of this title.
d. Application Review: Table 21A.26.078.C.2.d of this Subsection C summarizes
the application review process. All applications shall be processed as follows:
(1) Tier 1 Planning Commission Review: If a project is assigned a score less
than 125 points, the project can only be approved by the planning commission through the design
review process in Chapter 21A.59 of this title. Once the applicant receives written notice of their
66
score, they will be given thirty (30) days to notify the planning division of their intention to
proceed with the project through the design review process or make necessary plan adjustments
to increase their development score to the minimum level in order to go through an
administrative review process.
(2) Tier 2 Administrative Review: The planning director has the authority to
approve a project scoring 125 points or more without holding a public hearing. The project shall
be allowed to go through the standard building permit process. A public hearing is not required
because the project incorporates adequate development guidelines or development incentives to
be deemed compliant with the vision for the station area.

D. Development Score: The purpose of the development score is to allow flexibility for
designers while implementing the city's vision of the applicable station area plans and the
purpose of this zoning district. The development score measures the level of compatibility
between a proposed project and the station area plan. A "station area plan" is a development,
land use, urban design and place making policy document for the area around a specific transit
station. The development score is based on the development guidelines and development
incentives in the "Transit Station Area Development Guidelines" book, hereby adopted by
reference. The "Transit Station Area Development Guidelines" shall be amended following the
adopted procedures for zoning text amendments in Chapter 21A.50, "Amendments", of this title.
1. Formulating the Score: The development score is formulated by calculating all of
the development guideline values for a particular project. Each design guideline and incentive is
given a value based on its importance. Some guidelines are considered more important and carry
a higher value than others. All other applicable zoning regulations shall be complied with by all
projects and are not calculated in the development score.
2. Project Review: A development score shall be assigned to all projects within the
TSA Transit Station Area District after a complete development review application is submitted.
The planning director shall provide, in writing, a copy of the review checklist and explanation of
the outcome of the score to the applicant within thirty (30) days of submitting a complete
application.
3. Appeals: The development score may be appealed. All appeals of the development
score are heard by the appeals hearing officer. In hearing the appeal, the appeals hearing officer
shall hold a public hearing in accordance with Section 21A.10.030 of this title. In deciding the
appeal, the appeals hearing officer shall base its decision on its interpretation of the development
guidelines and the development score.
4. Expiration: No development score shall be valid for a period longer than one year
unless a building permit has been issued or complete building plans have been submitted to the
Division of Building Services.
E. Development Standards:

meet the intent of the specific design standard requested to be modified:
a. EIFS and Stucco Limitation: Use of Exterior Insulation and Finishing System
(EIFS) or traditional stucco is not allowed as a building material on the ground floor of street
facing building facades. Use of EIFS and stucco is allowed for up to ten percent (10%) of the upper
level street facing facades.
b. Front and Corner Side Yard Design Requirements:
(1) In yards greater than ten feet (10') in depth, one shade tree shall be planted
for every thirty feet (30') of street frontage. For the purpose of this section, a shade tree is any
tree that has a mature minimum tree canopy of thirty feet (30') and a mature height that is forty
feet (40') or greater.
(2) At least fifty percent (50%) of the front or corner side yards shall be
covered in live plant material. This can include raised planter boxes. This percentage can be
reduced to thirty percent (30%) if the yard includes outdoor dining, patios, outdoor public space,
or private yards for ground floor residential uses that cover at least fifty percent (50%) of the
provided front or corner side yard.
(3) At least thirty percent (30%) of the front or corner side yard shall by
occupied by outdoor dining areas, patios, outdoor public space, or private yards for ground floor
residential uses.
(4) Driveways necessary for vehicle access to the site are allowed regardless
of compliance with the minimum percentages required by this subsection.
c. Entry Feature Requirements: All required building entries shall include at least
one of the following features:
(1) An awning or canopy over the entrance that extends a minimum of five
feet (5') from the street facing building facade;
(2) A recessed entrance that is recessed at least five feet (5') from the street

square feet in size; or
(4) A stoop that is at least two feet (2') above sidewalk level and that includes
an awning or canopy that extends at least three feet (3') from the street facing building facade.
d. Ground Floor Use Requirement For 400 South and North Temple Boulevard: When
facing 400 South or North Temple Boulevard, the ground floor use area required by Chapter
21A.37 of this title shall be built to accommodate an allowed commercial, institutional, or public
use. Live/work uses qualify as a commercial use for this subsection.
72
(1) Exception: Residential uses may be permitted within the required area in
lieu of the required use, if the ground floor is designed so that it can be converted to an allowed
commercial use in the future. To accommodate this conversion, the shell space of the ground
floor shall be built to an occupancy standard required by the adopted building code that can
accommodate conversion of the interior of the space to a future permitted commercial use.
(2) The following additional requirements shall apply to the ground floor
space if used for residential uses:
(A) The shell space shall be at least twelve feet (12') in height;
(B) The street facing facade of each ground floor residential unit shall be at

(E) Each ground floor unit shall include a porch, patio, stoop or other entrance
feature that is a minimum depth of at least five feet (5').
G. Multiple Buildings on a Single Parcel: Multiple principal buildings on a single parcel are
permitted provided each principal building meets the requirements of this chapter and each
principal building obtained a separate development score. New principal buildings can be located
toward the rear of a parcel provided there is an existing or additional new principal building that
complies with the front yard building setbacks. If one principal building receives a development
score lower than other principal buildings on the site, the project shall be processed based on the
lowest development score obtained. Multiple single-family detached dwellings and two-family
dwellings may be located on one lot and are not required to obtain a development score.
H. Conflicting Regulations: In cases where the regulations of this section conflict with
another section of this zoning ordinance, this section shall take precedence except in situations
where the conflict is related to the use of the property, in which case the more restrictive
regulation takes precedence. In station areas within an overlay district, the overlay district shall
take precedence.
I. Developments Over Five Acres:
1. Intent: Large scale developments have the potential to function as a self-contained
mixed use neighborhood and could have both positive and negative impacts on nearby
properties. All developments over five (5) acres in size shall be designed and planned to include
a series of blocks and a network of public or private streets that connects to the existing public
streets in the area and to adjacent development and neighborhoods. Buildings should be oriented
to this street network. Regulating block size is necessary to provide development sites that are
oriented to the pedestrian while accommodating other modes of transportation. A street network
is required to ensure adequate circulation for pedestrians, bicycles, automobiles and service
vehicles through the site, to adjacent sites and the public streets.
2. Application: These standards are in addition to all other applicable standards. In
situations where the standards in this section conflict with a standard in another section, the
73
standard in this section shall take precedence. A separate development score is required for each
new principal building in a development over five (5) acres.
a. Block Layout: The intent of regulating block size and dimension is to create a
development pattern where all principal buildings have their primary facades facing a street,
whether public or private. All developments over five (5) acres in size shall be designed to
include a series of blocks based on the standards below:
(1) The maximum perimeter dimension of any block shall be one thousand six
hundred feet (1,600'). The maximum length of any individual block face shall be four hundred
forty feet (440').
(2) The maximum perimeter dimension of a block may be increased to two
thousand four hundred (2,400) linear feet, and the maximum length of any block face increased
to six hundred feet (600') provided a mid block pedestrian network is included. The mid block
pedestrian network must be a minimum of twenty feet (20') wide and include pedestrian
amenities such as lighting, benches, and other similar features. The mid block walkway shall
connect to at least two (2) block faces or be extended to the property line to allow for future
extension.
b. Connectivity to Public Streets, Sidewalks, and Bicycle Lanes: In order to ensure
that the development will be fully integrated into the transit station area, that safe and efficient
travelways are provided, and to limit the impact on the primary transit street and other adjacent
streets, the internal circulation system, including private streets, drive aisles, sidewalks and
bicycle lanes shall connect to the public street, sidewalks and bicycle lanes. All new streets shall
be designed as a "complete street" defined as a street that provides dedicated space for
pedestrians, bicyclists and automobiles.
c. Vehicle Access: Regulating access to private property from public streets is
necessary for integrating private development and public spaces. Limiting the number of access
points and spacing between access points reduces areas of conflict between vehicles, pedestrians
and bicycles. Maximum access widths promote a development pattern that is oriented to
pedestrians and bicyclists while accommodating vehicles.
(1) Access points located on public streets intended for vehicles shall be
spaced a minimum of one hundred feet (100') apart.
(2) No property shall have more than one (1) vehicle access point for every
two hundred (200) linear feet of frontage on a public street.
(3) No access drive shall be greater than twenty four feet (24') wide.
(4) The location of all vehicle access points is subject to approval from the
transportation division of the city. The standards of this section may be modified by the
Transportation Division when, in the opinion of the director of the transportation division, a
different design would improve the overall safety for all modes of transportation or improve the
efficiency of the transportation network.
d. Internal Circulation: Internal circulation systems allow for vehicles, pedestrians
and bicyclists to move safely and efficiently throughout a development site. A logical, simple
and well designed internal circulation system that connects with adjacent circulation networks
74
provides room for vehicles, safe walking paths for pedestrians through the parking lot and the
site to the public way, and well marked routes for bicycles traveling from public spaces to
bicycle parking areas within a site. All new developments over five (5) acres are required to
submit an internal circulation network plan.
(1) Travel Lanes That Connect Parking Areas With a Public Street: All
internal vehicle travel lanes that connect internal parking areas with a public street shall be
designed to meet the minimum requirements in Section 21A.44.060.A.6 of this title.
(2) Design Speed: The internal circulation system shall be designed to move
vehicles at speeds of twenty (20) miles per hour or less.
(3) Future Access to Adjacent Properties and Rights-Of-Way: All internal
drive aisles, sidewalks, and paths shall be extended to property lines to allow for future cross
access to adjacent properties when the adjacent property is undeveloped and to rights-of-way.
(4) Centerlines: The centerline of all internal streets shall be in line with the
centerline of a street on the opposite side of an intersecting street unless the intersecting street is
divided by a median. Offset streets shall be a minimum of two hundred feet (200') apart,
measured from centerline to centerline.
(5) Publicly Dedicated Streets: Any street that is to be publicly dedicated shall
meet the city's minimum construction and design standards (including street lighting, park strip,
street trees, etc.).
(6) Pedestrian Routes: Pedestrian routes that provide safe, comfortable, clear
and direct access throughout the development shall be provided. Pedestrian paths shall be
bordered by residential fronts, green space, active open space, or commercial storefronts.
(7) Bicycle Paths: A coordinated system of bicycle paths should be provided.
(8) Approval; Modification of Standards: The internal circulation network is
subject to approval from the transportation division of the city. The standards of this section may
be modified by the transportation division when, in the opinion of the director of the
transportation division, a different design would improve the overall safety for all modes of
transportation or improve the efficiency of the transportation network.
e. Parking: Parking may be provided along any private street within a development
over five (5) acres. The parking shall be counted toward the applicable off street parking standard
when provided on private streets. All parking areas and spaces must comply with the parking lane
widths identified in Section 21A.44.060.A.6 of this title.
f. Open Space Area: In order to provide space for passive and active recreation,
public and private gatherings, offset storm drainage due to nonpem1eable surfaces and as an
amenity to individual developments and their residents, employees and customers, usable open
space areas are required for all new developments.
(1) Required: In the core and transition areas of all station areas, a minimum
of ten percent (10%) of the site, up to fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet, shall be devoted to
open space areas. "Usable open space area" is defined as landscaped areas, plazas, outdoor
dining areas, terraces, rooftop gardens, stormwater retention areas, and any other similar type of
area.
75
(2) Connectivity to Adjacent Open Space Area: When adjacent to public open
space areas, parks, trails and pathways, open space areas on developments over five (5) acres in
size are encouraged to provide access to the public open space area.
g. Landscaping: All areas not occupied by buildings, plazas, tell"aces, patios,
parking areas, or other similar feature shall be landscaped. If a project is developed in phases,
only those areas in a phase that is under construction shall be landscaped. Landscaping in future
phases shall be installed as those phases develop. Areas in future phases may be used as
community gardens or other active open space until such time as development of that phase
begins.
SECTION 23. Eliminating Chapter 21A.27. That Chapter 21A.27 of the Salt Lake City
Code (Zoning: Form Based Districts) is hereby deleted in its entirety:
CHAPTER 21A.27
FORM BASED DISTRICTS
21A.27.010: PURPOSE STATEMENT AND GENERAL PROVISIONS:
A. Purpose Statement: The purpose of the form based districts is to create urban
neighborhoods that provide the following:
1. People oriented places;
2. Options for housing types;
3. Options in terms of shopping, dining, and fulfilling daily needs within walking
distance or conveniently located near mass transit;
4. Transportation options;
5. Access to employment opportunities within walking distance or close to mass
transit;
6. Appropriately scaled buildings that respect the existing character of the
neighborhood;
7. Safe, accessible, and interconnected networks for people to move around in; and
8. Increased desirability as a place to work, live, play, and invest through higher
quality form and design.
B. Context Description: The form based districts are intended to be utilized in areas with the
following characteristics:
1. Street, Block, And Access Patterns: A regular pattern of blocks surrounded by a
traditional grid of streets that provide mobility options and connections for pedestrians,
bicyclists, and automobiles. Blocks include sidewalks separated from vehicle travel lanes by a
landscaped park strip. Front yards are landscaped or include active, outdoor uses.
2. Building Placement And Location: Residential buildings are generally located
close to the sidewalk with a small, transitional, semipublic space, such as a landscaped front
76
yard, that is consistent along the block face. Buildings along arterials are located close to the
sidewalk with parking to the side or rear of building.
3. Building Height: Building heights on local streets are relatively low and
consistent with existing building heights with little variation. Buildings located on arterial streets
are generally taller.
4. Mobility: A balance between pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists
exist in the area, and residents are well connected to other parts of the city.
C. Intent Of Form Based Districts:
1. Statement Of Intent: Form based districts are intended to provide zoning
regulations that focus on the form of development, the manner in which buildings are oriented
toward public spaces, the scale of development, and the interaction of uses within the city. Form
based districts provide places for people to live, work, and play within a close proximity.
Regulations within form based districts place emphasis on the built environment over land use.
2. How To Use This Chapter: Form based districts emphasize the form, scale,
placement, and orientation of buildings. Each subdistrict includes a table of permitted building
forms and specific development regulations for each building form. The first step is to identify
which subdistrict the property is located in, and then identify what building forms are permitted,
and finally what standards apply to the specific building form. All new developments and
additions to existing buildings shall comply with the specific requirements of this chapter.
21A.27.020: BUILDING TYPES AND FORMS ESTABLISHED:
A. Building Types and Form Standards:
1. Encourage building forms that are compatible with the neighborhood and the
future vision for the neighborhood by acknowledging the current scale of the area and it's
architectural and material elements. These elements within new development shall compliment
those of the existing buildings;
2. Arrange building heights and scale to provide appropriate transitions between
buildings of different scales and adjacent areas, especially between different subdistricts;
3. Guide building orientation through setbacks and other requirements to create a
consistent street edge, enhance walkability by addressing the relationship between public and
private spaces, and ensure architectural design will contribute to the character of the
neighborhood;
4. Use building form, placement, and orientation to identify the private, semiprivate,
and public spaces;
5. Minimize the visual impact of parking areas; and
6. Minimize conflicts between pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles.
B. Building Types and Forms:
1. Description: The permitted building forms are described in this subsection. Each
building form includes a general description and definition, as well as images of what the
77
building form may look like. Building form images are for informational purposes only and not
intended to demonstrate exactly what shall be built. The description and images should be used
to classify existing and proposed buildings in order to determine what development regulations
apply. The drawings are not to scale. They should not be used to dictate a specific architectural
style as both traditional and contemporary styles can be used.
a. Urban House: A residential structure with the approximate scale of a single
dwelling unit, as viewed from the street, but may contain up to two dwelling units. The structure
has a single entry facing the street, a front porch or stoop, and a small front yard. Second units
may be arranged vertically (up and down) or horizontally (front and back), but the entry to the
second unit is from the side, rear, or interior of structure. A third unit may also be located along
an alley as a stand alone unit or as a dwelling unit located in an accessory building. All units are
on a single lot.
78
b. Two-Family Dwelling: A residential structure that contains two dwelling units in
a single building. The units may be arranged side by side, up and down, or front and back. Each
unit has its own separate entry directly to the outside. Dwellings may be located on separate lots
or grouped on one lot. A third unit may also be located along an alley as a stand alone unit or as
a dwelling unit located in an accessory building, but may not be located on a separate lot.
79
80
c. Cottage Development: A unified development that contains two or more detached
dwelling units with each unit appearing to be a small single-family dwelling with a common
green or open space area. Dwellings may be located on separate lots or grouped on one lot.
d. Additional Development Standards for Cottage Building Forms:
(1) Setbacks Between Individual Cottages: All cottages shall have a minimum
setback of eight feet from another cottage.
(2) Footprint: No cottage shall have a footprint in excess of eight hundred
fifty (850) square feet.
(3) Building Entrance: All building entrances shall face a public street or a
common open space area.
(4) Open Space Area: A minimum of two hundred fifty (250) square feet of
common, open space area is required per cottage. At least fifty percent (50%) of the open space
area shall be contiguous and include landscaping, walkways or other amenities intended to serve
the residents of the development.
81
e. Row House: A series of attached single-family dwellings that share at least one
common wall with an adjacent dwelling unit. A row house contains a minimum of three (3)
residential dwelling units. Each unit may be on its own lot. If possible, off street parking is
accessed from an alley.
82
83
f. Multi-Family Residential: A multi-family residential structure containing three (3)
or more dwelling units that may be arranged in a number of configurations .
84
g. Storefront: A commercial structure that may have multiple stories and contain a
variety of commercial uses that are allowed in the district that permits this building type. All
buildings, regardless of the specific use, have a ground floor that looks like a storefront.
85
h. Vertical Mixed Use: A multi-story building that contains a mix of commercial
and/or office with residential uses.
86
87
21A.27.030: BUILDING CONFIGURATION AND DESIGN STANDARDS:
A. Specific Intent of Configuration and Design Standards:
1. Design Related Standards: The design related standards are intended to do the
following:
a. Implement applicable master plans;
b. Continue the existing physical character of residential streets while allowing an
increase in building scale along arterials and near transit stations;
c. Focus development and future growth in the city along arterials and near transit
stations;
d. Arrange buildings so they are oriented toward the street in a manner that promotes
pedestrian activity, safety, and community;
e. Provide human scaled buildings that emphasize design and placement of the main
entrance/exit on street facing facades;
f. Provide connections to transit through public walkways;
g. Provide areas for appropriate land uses that encourage use of public transit and
are compatible with the neighborhood;
h. Promote pedestrian and bicycle amenities near transit facilities to maximize
alternative forms of transportation; and
i. Rehabilitate and reuse existing residential structures in the Form Based Zoning
Districts when possible to efficiently use infrastructure and natural resources, and preserve
neighborhood character.

Midblock
Walkway
As part of the city's plan for the downtown area, it is
intended that midblock walkways be provided to
increase pedestrian connectivity and overall livability
downtown through the creation of an intricate pedestrian
network. The city has adopted the Downtown Plan that
includes a midblock walkway map and establishes the
need for such walkways as the Downtown grows.
Because the districts within the downtown area allow
building heights that exceed those of other districts in
the city, the requirement for a midblock walkway is
considered to be necessary to alleviate pedestrian
impacts on the public sidewalks by dispersing future use
of the public sidewalks. All buildings constructed after
the effective date hereof within this district shall
conform to this officially adopted plan for midblock
walkways, in addition to the following standards:
a. The midblock walkway must be a minimum of 15'
wide and include a minimum 6' wide unobstructed path.
b. The midblock walkway may be incorporated into the
building provided it is open to the public. A sign shall be
posted indicatin that the public ma use the walkwa .
108
c. Building encroachments into the midblock walkway
are permitted if they include one or more of the following
elements:
(1) Colonnades;
(2) Staircases;
(3) Balconies - All balconies must be located at the third
story or above.
(4) Building overhangs and associated cantilever - These
coverings may be between 9 and 14 feet above the level
of the sidewalk. They shall provide a minimum depth of
coverage of 6' and project no closer to the curb than 3'.
(5) Skybridge - A single skybridge is permitted. All
skybridges must be located at the 3rd, 4th, or 5th stories.
(6) Other architectural element(s) not listed above that
offers refuge from weather and/or provide publicly
accessible usable space.

MW Midblock
Walkway
As part of the city's plan for the downtown area, it is intended that
midblock walkways be provided to facilitate pedestrian movement
within the area. The city has adopted the Downtown Plan that includes
a midblock walkway map and establishes a need for such walkways as
the Downtown grows. Because the districts within the downtown area
allow maximum building heights that exceeds those of other districts in
the city, the requirement for the midblock walkway is important to
maintain the overall scale and pedestrian nature of the downtown. This
requirement implements the city's Downtown Plan and provides visual
relief from the additional height that is available in these zone districts
when compared to the remainder of the city. All buildings constructed
after the effective date hereof within the Downtown zonin districts
110
shall conform to this officially adopted plan for midblock walkways, in
addition to the following standards:
a. Any new development shall provide a midblock walkway if a
midblock walkway on the subject property has been identified in a

MW Midblock
Walkway
As part of the city's plan for the downtown area, it is intended that
midblock walkways be provided to facilitate pedestrian movement
within the area. The city has adopted the Downtown Plan that includes
a midblock walkway map and establishes a need for such walkways as
the Downtown grows. Because the districts within the downtown area
allow maximum building heights that exceeds those of other districts in
the city, the requirement for the midblock walkway is important to
maintain the overall scale and pedestrian nature of the downtown. This
requirement implements the city's Downtown Plan and provides visual
relief from the additional height that is available in these zone districts
when compared to the remainder of the city. All buildings constructed
after the effective date hereof within this district shall conform to this
112
officially adopted plan for midblock walkways, in addition to the
followin standards:
1. Any new development shall provide a midblock walkway if a
midblock walkway on the subject property has been identified in a
master plan that has been adopted by the city.
2. The following standards apply to the midblock walkway:
a. The midblock walkway must be a minimum of 15' wide and include
a minimum 6' wide unobstructed path.
b. The midblock walkway may be incorporated into the building
rovided it is open to the public. A sign shall be posted indicating that

SECTION 47. Amending the text of Section 21A.37.050. That Section 21A.37.050 of the
Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Design Stands: Design Standards Defined) is hereby amended as
follows:
21A.37.050: DESIGN STANDARDS DEFINED:
The design standards in this chapter are defined as follows. Each design standard includes a
specific definition of the standard and may include a graphic that is intended to help further
explain the standard; however, in cases where a conflict exists between the definition and the
graphic, the definition shall take precedence. The table that follows (Section 21A.37.060)
highlights the connection between each design standard and the zoning districts. It identifies
whether a standard is required or not. Standards that are required are identified by an X or a
number referencing the applicable standard. If there is a specific detail for the standard, it will
also be identified in the table.
A. Ground Floor: This standard's purpose is to increase the amount of active uses on the
ground floor of a building. Active uses support the vibrancy and usability of the public realm
adjacent to a building. Allowed uses shall occupy a minimum percentage of the length of the
street-facing facade of the ground floor according to Table 21A.37.060.
1. Active Use: The ground floor use space shall be occupied by any allowed use in
the zone, excluding parking and/or storage uses, except where an “Enhanced Active Ground
Floor Use” is required by Table 21A.37.060 or the underlying zoning district.
2. Enhanced Active Use: Where required by Table 21A.37.060 or the underlying
zoning district, the ground floor use space shall be occupied by an “Enhanced Active Ground
Floor Use” such as retail, restaurants, bars, art studios, civic spaces (theaters, museums, etc.), and
other uses determined to be substantially similar by the planning director and/or planning
commission. The planning director and/or planning commission shall consider whether uses are
substantially similar based on the level of public access for the purpose of receiving a service or
product from the use.
a. Lobby Exception: Notwithstanding these provisions, a lobby may occupy up to
25% or 50 feet, whichever is less, of the length of the required ground floor use area when public
access is provided along such façade.
b. Prohibited Uses: The following uses shall not count toward the enhanced active
ground floor use requirement:
175
(1) Residential amenity spaces, mailrooms, common rooms, and other
amenity spaces limited to use by building occupants. This excludes the lobby allowance in this
section.
(2) Areas that are not accessible to customers, such as kitchens, storage,
bicycle parking, and utility space.
(3) Vehicle parking areas.
3. General Exceptions: The following exceptions apply to all ground floor use
requirements:
a. Outdoor Active Uses: Outdoor space may count for up to 25% of the length of
the required ground floor use area when located within a required or provided front or corner
side yard setback and if it includes outdoor dining space, an outdoor recreation use, fenced off
areas for pets, patio space with seating, or other similar use. The space shall be located in front of
uses not considered to be active by this section.
b. Single- and two-family uses: For single or two-family uses, garages occupying up
to fifty percent (50%) of the length of the ground floor building facade are exempt from the
ground floor use requirement.
c. Vehicle Access: Vehicle entry and exit ways necessary for access to parking are
exempt from this requirement. Individual dwelling unit garages do not qualify for this
exemption.
4. Dimensions: The following dimensional requirements apply to all ground floor
use requirements of this section.

(1) 10 feet for residential dwellings or dwelling units, including in multi-
family, cottage developments, urban houses, row houses, single-family, and two-family uses.
(2) 25 feet for all other uses.
b. Height: For enhanced active ground floor uses, the required ground floor use
space shall have a minimum floor-to-ceiling height of 12 feet, unless the underlying zone
specifies a greater requirement. The minimum height does not apply to cottage developments,
urban houses, row houses, single-family, or two-family developments.
B. Building Materials:
1. Applicability: New buildings and buildings where proposed modifications will
exceed 75% on the exterior facade shall comply with the material requirements detailed below.
Buildings at least 50 years old are exempt from this requirement if alterations are consistent with
the existing architecture.
2. Durable Material: For the purpose of the requirements of this chapter, a durable
material is defined as any material that has a manufacturer's warranty of a minimum of 20 years
from color fading, weather, and local climate-induced degradation of the material or is a natural
material such as stone or wood, provided the wood is treated and maintained for exterior use.
176
Durable materials include stone, brick, masonry, textured or patterned concrete, and fiber cement
board. Other materials proposed to satisfy the durable requirement may be approved at the
discretion of the planning director if it is found that the proposed material is durable and, if
applicable, is appropriate for the ground floor of a structure.
3. Ground Floor Building Materials: Other than windows and doors, a minimum
amount of the ground floor facade's wall area of any street facing facade shall be clad in durable
materials according to Table 21A.37.060. Other materials may be used for the remainder of the
ground floor facade adjacent to a street.
4. Upper Floor Building Materials: Floors above the ground floor level shall include
durable materials on a minimum amount of any street facing building facade of those additional
floors according to Table 21A.37.060. Windows and doors are not included in that minimum

is equal to or greater than the requirement in Table 21A.37.060.
2. Landmark Buildings Stepback: This requirement is intended to promote a
transition in scale between new buildings and lower scale historic buildings. This applies to
properties abutting local historic landmark sites that include buildings less than 50 feet in height.
This does not apply when a right-of-way separates the properties. New buildings shall be
designed so that no portion of the building within 25 feet of the abutting property line is taller
than the height of a 45 degree angular plane extending from the top of the landmark building
toward the new building, as shown in Illustration of Regulation 21A.37.050.G.2 Height
Transitions.
Illustration of Re ulation 21A.37.050.G.2 Landmark Buildin s Setback
184
New buildings shall be designed so that no portion of the building within 25 feet of the abutting property line is
taller than the height of a 45-degree angular plane extending from the top of the landmark building toward the new
building.
3. Lower Level Interior Stepback: For buildings on property that abuts a parcel in
(1) an R-1, R-2, SR, FR, FB-UN1, RMF-30, RMF-35, MU-2, or MU-3 zoning district, (2) a
public trail, or (3) a public open space, floors that are entirety located above a height of 30 feet
from average finished grade shall be set back at least 10 feet from the required minimum yard
located along the abutting parcel. This regulation does not apply when the parcel is separated
from the subject property by a street or alley.
4. Sugar House Lower Level Front Stepback: This stepback applies to buildings
located in the area bounded by McClelland Street and extending along the eastern boundary of
Fairmont Park to 1300 East and 2100 South to I-80. For such buildings, floors that are entirely
located above 30 feet in height from average finished grade shall be set back a minimum
horizontal distance of 10 feet from the front and corner side lot lines. This provision shall be
considered complied with if a front or corner side yard setback is provided that is equal to or
greater than the requirement.
H. Exterior Lighting: All exterior lighting shall be shielded and directed down to prevent
light trespass onto adjacent properties. Exterior lighting shall not strobe, flash, or flicker.
I. Parking Lot Lighting: Poles for the parking lot/structure security lighting are limited to
16 feet in height and the globe shall be shielded and the lighting directed down to minimize light
encroachment onto adjacent residential properties or into upper level residential units in multi-
story buildings. Lightproof fencing is required adjacent to residential properties.
J. Screening of Mechanical Equipment: All mechanical equipment for a building shall be
screened from public view and sited to minimize their visibility and impact. Examples of
screening include locating on the roof when screened by a parapet wall or setback 15 feet from
the edge of the roof, enclosed or otherwise integrated into the architectural design of the
building, or in a rear or side yard area subject to yard location restrictions found in Table
185
21A.36.020.B, "Obstructions in Required Yards". This standard shall also be satisfied by any
other screening method authorized by this title.
K. Screening of Service Areas: Service areas, loading facilities, refuse containers, utility
meters, and similar areas shall be screened from public view or located along a side or rear yard.
All screening enclosures visible from the street shall be incorporated into the building
architecture or site design. All screening enclosures shall be a minimum of one foot higher than
the object being screened, and in the case of fences and/or masonry walls the height shall not
exceed eight feet. Dumpsters shall be located a minimum of 25 feet from any building on an
adjacent lot that contains a residential dwelling or be located inside of an enclosed building or
structure.
1. Exceptions: Exceptions may be approved by the planning director when the
service provides power or some form of utilities in and around the surrounding area or when it is
not feasible to accommodate these activities on the site interior. If such activities are permitted
adjacent to a public street, a visual screening design approved by the planning director shall be
required.
L. Parking Garages or Structures: The following standards shall apply to parking garages or
structures whether stand-alone or incorporated into a building:
1. Parking structures shall be designed to conceal the view of all parked cars and
drive ramps and improve visual character when adjacent to a public street or other public space.
In addition to the materials authorized in 21A.37.050.B.4, allowed materials include heavy gauge
metal screen, precast concrete panels, live green or landscaped walls, laminated or safety glass,
decorative panels, or other materials matching the building materials and character of the
principal building. The planning director may approve other materials not listed if the materials
are in keeping with the nature of the parking structure. If parking is included on floors above the
ground floor, a minimum of 50% of the surface area of the facade of each floor facing a street
shall be wrapped in solid materials.
2. Facade elements shall align to parking levels. Internal circulation shall allow
parking surfaces to be level (without any slope) along each parking garage facade adjacent to a
public street or public open space. All ramps between levels shall be located along building
facades that are not adjacent to a public street or public space or shall be located internally so
that they are not visible from adjacent public streets or public spaces.
3. No horizontal length of the parking garage façade adjacent to a public street or
public open space shall extend longer than 40 feet without the inclusion of architectural elements
such as decorative grillwork, louvers, translucent screens, alternating building materials, and
other external features to avoid visual monotony.
4. The location of elevators and stairs shall be highlighted through the use of
architectural features or changes in façade colors, textures, or materials so that visitors can easily
identify these entry points both internally and externally.
5. Signage and wayfinding shall be integrated with the architecture of the parking
structure and be architecturally compatible with the design. The entrances of public parking
structures shall be clearly signed from public streets.
186
6. Interior garage lighting shall not produce glaring sources toward adjacent
properties while providing safe and adequate lighting levels. The use of sensor dimmable LEDs
and white stained ceilings are a good strategy to control light levels on site while improving
energy efficiency.
7. Parking structures shall be designed to minimize vehicle noise and odors in the
public realm. Venting and fan locations shall not be located on the primary street-facing façade
or next to public spaces, and shall be located as far as possible from adjacent residential land
uses.
8. If the parking structure is adjacent to a midblock walkway, pedestrian oriented
elements shall be provided. These may include, but are not limited to, lighting, seating and
vegetation.
9. No special design and setback restrictions shall apply to below ground parking
facilities.
M. Public Improvements: The following public improvements are required to be installed
where noted as required in Table 21A.37.060 for any new buildings. The specified improvements
are subject to all additional, applicable standards adopted for public right-of-way improvements
by city departments, including transportation, public utilities, and engineering.
1. Sidewalks:
a. Sidewalk Width: The minimum sidewalk width shall be as follows unless the
underlying zoning district includes a different standard in which case the underlying zoning
district regulations shall prevail:
(1) In Any FR, R-1, R-2, or SR Zoning District: When a park strip is present,
four feet. If a park strip is not present, five feet shall be required.
(2) Zoning districts that allow buildings up to 35 feet in height: six feet.
(3) Zoning districts that allow buildings greater than 35 feet but less than 50
feet: eight feet.
(4) Zoning districts that allow buildings greater than 50 feet in height: 10 feet.
b. Expanding Sidewalk Width: When adding width to a sidewalk, the sidewalk may
be added to an existing park strip provided the park strip maintains a minimum width of 12 feet.
If the sidewalk width cannot be accommodated in the park strip, a portion of the sidewalk shall
be placed on the subject property to accommodate the necessary width required by this section.
The portion of the sidewalk that is on private property may be identified with a marker indicating
it is private property, but the portion of the sidewalk may not be blocked. This may be modified
by the planning director to accommodate existing trees or other structures that are already
existing in the right of way after consulting with the urban forester, city engineer, and/or
transportation director, depending on the nature of the feature that requires a modification.
2. Curb, Gutter, and Park Strips: This standard applies when a street that abuts a
proposed development does not contain an existing curb, gutter, or park strip. When a curb and
gutter is not present, the development shall include installing curb, gutter, and park strip that
187
complies with standards adopted by the city. The curb and gutter shall be placed to provide a
minimum park strip width of six feet.
3. Street Lighting: All development that is subject to this chapter shall install street
lighting that is consistent with the most recently adopted street lighting master plan.
4. Public Improvements Identified in General Plan: When the general plan, as
defined in Title 19, identifies specific public improvements or design of a public right of way,
those public improvements shall be installed by the property owner when subject to this
Chapter.
5. Exceptions: Exceptions and/or modifications to the improvement standards may
be approved due to right-of-way limitations or other technical constraints by the planning
director in consultation with the urban forester, city engineer, public utilities director, and/or
transportation director.
SECTION 48. Amending the text of Section 21A.37.060. That Section 21A.37.060 of the
Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Design Stands: Design Standards Required in Each Zoning
District) is hereby amended as follows:
21A.37.060: DESIGN STANDARDS REQUIRED IN EACH ZONING DISTRICT:
This section identifies each design standard and to which zoning districts the standard applies. If
a box is checked (X) or noted with a dimension, that standard is required. If a box is blank, it is
not required. If a specific dimension or detail of a design standard differs among zoning districts
or differs from the definition, it will be indicated within the box. In cases when a dimension in
this table conflicts with a dimension in the definition, the dimensions listed in the table shall take
precedence.

SECTION 53. Eliminating the text of Section 21A.40.060. That Section 21A.40.060 of
the Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Accessory Uses, Buildings and Structures: Drive-Through
Facility Regulations) is hereby deleted in its entirety:
21A.40.060: DRIVE-THROUGH FACILITY REGULATIONS:
196
A. Purpose: The regulations of this section are intended to allow for drive-through facilities
by reducing the negative impacts they may create. Of special concern are noise from idling cars
and voice amplification equipment, lighting, and queued traffic interfering with on site and off
site traffic and pedestrian flow. The specific purposes of this section are to:
1. Reduce noise, lighting, and visual impacts on abutting uses, particularly
residential uses;
2. Promote safer and more efficient on site vehicular and pedestrian circulation;
3. Reduce conflicts between queued vehicles and traffic on adjacent streets.
B. Applicability And Permit Requirements:
1. These regulations shall apply to all new drive-through facilities, any rebuild or
replacement of an existing structure containing a drive-through facility or modification to an
existing building that includes altering the location of an existing drive-through window,
expands the floor area by twenty five percent (25%) or more of the gross floor area or one
thousand (1,000) square feet, whichever is less and/or the parking requirement increases as
required by this title. The complete replacement of a building containing a nonconforming drive-
through is subject to chapter 21A.38, "Nonconforming Uses And Noncomplying Structures", of
this title.
2. Drive-through facilities may be authorized when listed on the tables of permitted
and conditional uses set forth in part III of this title, specific district regulations for residential,
commercial, manufacturing, downtown, gateway, and special purpose districts when developed
in accordance with the standards of this section.
C. Additional Application Materials Required: In addition to the site plan and standard
application requirements as set forth in chapter 21A.58 of this title, an applicant for a business
with drive-through facilities shall submit a site plan that includes: a parking and circulation plan,
driveway locations, placement of audio equipment (if this type of equipment will be used) and a
litter cleanup plan. A litter cleanup plan shall address litter cleanup on site and off site and shall
include, but not be limited to, a litter pick up schedule and a map of the cleanup area.
D. Standards:
1. Stacking Lane Standards: These standards ensure that there is adequate on site
maneuvering and circulation areas, ensure that stacking vehicles do not impede traffic on
abutting streets, and that stacking lanes will not have nuisance impacts on abutting residential
lots.
a. Gasoline Pumps: A minimum of thirty six feet (36') of stacking lane is required
between a curb cut and the nearest gasoline pump;
b. Other Drive-Through Facilities:
(1) Primary Facilities: A minimum of one hundred twenty feet (120') for a
single stacking lane or sixty feet (60') per lane when there is more than one stacking lane, is
197
required for all other drive-through facilities. A stacking lane is measured back to the point of
service or final service window. Stacking lanes do not have to be linear.
(2) Accessory Facilities: A stacking lane is not required for accessory
facilities where vehicles do not routinely stack up while waiting for the service. Examples are
window washing, air compressor, and vacuum cleaning stations;
c. Stacking Lane Design And Layout: Stacking lanes must be designed so that they
do not interfere with parking and vehicle circulation; and
d. Stacking Lanes Identified: All stacking lanes must be clearly identified, through
the use of means such as striping, landscaping, and signs.
2. Traffic Circulation Requirements:
a. Only one driveway providing vehicular access to and from the drive-through
window or service area shall be provided from any street;
b. The driveway providing access to the service windows shall be at least fifty feet
(50') from the back of the curb of an intersecting street measured to the centerline of the
proposed driveway;
c. Internal traffic circulation patterns on the lot shall be adequate to keep traffic from
backing into a street or blocking access to any required parking spaces located on the lot; and
d. A traffic study addressing both on site and off site traffic and circulation impacts
may be required as part of a permit application for a drive-through facility.
3. Noise Levels: Noise emitted from drive-through service windows and related
features (such as remote ordering equipment at outdoor menu boards at fast food restaurants)
shall not exceed the levels as established by the Salt Lake Valley Health Department. Noise
generating equipment includes, but is not limited to, items such as speakers, mechanical car
washes, vacuum cleaners, and exterior air compressors.
4. Air Quality: Drive-through facilities shall post Idle Free signs pursuant to title 12,
chapter 12.58 of this Code.
5. Accessibility:
a. Direct pedestrian entry through the front of the building shall be provided from
public streets and sidewalks to the building entrance. Crossing driveways, stacking lanes or
parking areas shall be avoided.
b. Well articulated pedestrian routes and zones shall be provided on the site, linking
building entrances and parking areas.
c. Decorative paving, or similar material, complemented by landscaping, shall be
used where appropriate to delineate these linkages.
E. Findings Required For Approval: The approval of a drive- through facility shall require
that the review authority first make all of the following findings:
1. The proposed location of the drive-through facility will not result in adverse
impacts upon the vicinity after giving consideration to a litter cleanup plan, the hours of
operation, noise and light generation, traffic circulation, and the site plan;
198
2. The proposed parking and circulation plan will provide adequate area for safe
stacking and maneuvering of vehicles, and the site design will provide adequate buffering of the
use from adjoining land uses;
3. When a drive-through use adjoins any residentially used or residentially zoned
property, a minimum six foot (6') high masonry wall or solid fence shall be erected and
maintained along such property line;
4. The site plan meets the accessibility standards required in this section.
SECTION 54. Amending the text of Section 21A.40.090. That Section 21A.40.090 of the
Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Accessory Uses, Buildings and Structures: Antenna Regulations) is
hereby amended as follows:
21A.40.090 ANTENNA REGULATIONS:
All antennas shall comply with the following regulations and all other ordinances of the city and
any pertinent regulations of the federal communications commission and the federal aviation

2. New telecommunications towers are allowed outside the telecommunication corridor
in the OS zone for public safety, public security, or Salt Lake City Public Utilities
Department purposes only.
3. Collocation of a wireless telecommunication facility is allowed per subsection C4 of this
section.
4. Prohibited within the Eco-Industrial Buffer Area of the Northwest Quadrant Overlay
District.
2. Facility Types: Low power radio services facilities are characterized by the type
or location of the antenna structure. There are seven general types of such antenna structures
allowed. Standards for the installation of each type of antenna are as follows:
a. Wall Mounted Antenna: The following provisions apply to wall mounted
antennas:
(1) Wall mounted antennas shall not extend above the wall line of the
building or extend more than four feet horizontally from the face of the building.
(2) Antennas, equipment, and the supporting structure shall be painted to
match the color of the building or structure of the background against which they are most
commonly seen. Antennas and the supporting structures on buildings should be architecturally
compatible with the building. Whip antennas are not allowed on a wall mounted antenna
structure.
(3) Antennas mounted directly on existing parapet walls, penthouses, or
mechanical equipment rooms, with no portion of the antenna extending above the roofline of
such structures, shall be considered a wall mounted antenna.
b. Roof Mounted Antenna: The following provisions apply to roof mounted
antennas:
(1) Roof mounted antennas shall be allowed on top of existing
penthouses or mechanical equipment rooms and shall not extend more than eight feet above
the existing roofline of the penthouse or mechanical equipment room.
(2) For antennas not mounted on a penthouse or mechanical equipment
room, the antennas shall be mounted at least five feet from the exterior wall of a building. For
antennas mounted between five and ten feet from the exterior wall, the maximum height of a
roof mounted antenna is directly proportional to the distance the antenna is set back from the
exterior wall up to a maximum height of ten feet above the roofline of the building to which
the antenna is attached. Antennas shall be mounted at least five feet behind any parapet wall.
For antennas mounted between five and ten feet behind a parapet wall, the maximum height of
the antenna is directly proportional to the distance the antenna is set back from the wall up to a
maximum of 10 feet as measured from the top of the parapet wall. The antennas shall not
extend more than 15 feet above the roofline of the building itself unless approved as a
conditional use (see Subsection 21A.62.050.H).
(3) Roof mounted antennas are permitted only on a flat roof.
202
c. Monopole with Antennas and Support Structure Less Than Two Feet in Width:
The total of each individual antenna structure mounted on a monopole shall not exceed two feet
in width. The maximum height of each individual antenna shall not exceed 10 feet in height
(see Subsection 21A.62.050.G). In the case of collocation, when there is more than one antenna
located on a monopole, all additional antenna structures shall not exceed the above referenced
dimensions. No such antenna shall be located within 165 feet of a residential zone.
d. Monopole with Antennas and Antenna Support Structure Greater Than Two
Feet in Width: The maximum visible width of individual antennas and antenna mounting
structures on a monopole shall not exceed eight feet in height or 13 feet in width as viewed
looking directly at the monopole at same elevation as the antennas and antenna mounting
structure (see Subsection 21A.62.050.F). In the case of collocation, when there is more than
one antenna located on a monopole, all additional antenna structures shall not individually

SECTION 63. Amending the text of Subsection 21A.44.060.A. That Subsection
21A.44.060.A. of the Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Off Street Parking, Mobility and Loading:
Parking Location and Design: Generally) is hereby amended as follows:
A. Generally:
1. Parking Located on Same Lot as Use or Building Served: All parking spaces
required to serve buildings or uses erected or established after the effective date of this ordinance
shall be located on the same lot or parcel as the building or use served, unless otherwise allowed
pursuant to Subsection 21A.44.060.A.4, "Off-Site Parking Permitted", or Section 21A.55.020,
"Planned Developments - Authority".
2. Biodetention in Parking Lot Interior and Perimeter Landscaping Areas: Retention
of the 80th percentile storm is required for all impervious surface parking lots with 50 or more
parking spaces. Where this is not feasible, as defined in the SLCDPUs Standard Practices
Manual, an approved Stormwater Best Management Practices (Stormwater BMPs) is required.
229
All proposed Stormwater BMPs are subject to Public Utilities Division review, approval, and
inspection.
3. Parking in Front and Corner Side Yards:
a. Parking in Required Yards: Parking stalls are prohibited in a required front yard
or required corner side yard except when authorized by 21A.44.090. In the FR, R1, R2, and SR-
1A zoning districts, parking in driveways that comply with all applicable city standards is
allowed but shall not be used to satisfy off-street parking requirements.
b. Parking stalls may be allowed in a provided front or corner side yard where it
exceeds the minimum yard requirement when:
(1) In any zoning district found in 21A.28 Manufacturing Districts or 21A.32
Special Purpose Districts; or
(2) Approved following the requirements in 21A.44.090; or
(3) Authorized in the zoning district.
c. Parking for land uses that do not include a principal building shall be setback a
minimum of 25 feet from the front or corner side lot line. The 25 foot setback shall be considered
a landscaped yard subject to the requirements of landscaped yards in 21A.48.
d. If this section conflicts with any regulation of the underlying zoning district, the
provisions of the underlying zoning shall take precedence.
4. Off-Site Parking Permitted: When allowed as either a permitted or conditional use
per Chapter 21A.33, "Land Use Tables", off-site parking facilities may be used to satisfy the
requirements of this chapter and shall comply with the following standards:
a. Maximum Distance of Off-Site Parking: Off-site parking shall be located
according to the distance established in Table 21A.44.060-B, "Maximum Distances for Off-Site
Parking" (measured in a straight line from the property boundary of the principal use for which
the parking serves to the closest point of the parking area).

Context Maximum Distance to Off-Site
Parking
Nei hborhood Cente
600 ft. General
Le al Nonconformin Use in Residential District
Urban Cente 1,200 ft.
Transit 1,000 ft.
b. Documentation Required:
230
(1) The owners of record involved in an off-site parking arrangement shall
submit written documentation of the continued availability of the off-site parking arrangement to
the planning director for review.
(2) The planning director shall approve the off-site parking arrangement if the
director determines the location meets the standards of this section. No zoning or use approval
shall be issued until the director has approved the off-site parking arrangement and the
documentation has been recorded in the office of the Salt Lake County Recorder.
(3) If the off-site parking arrangement is later terminated or modified and the
planning director determines that the termination or modification has resulted in traffic
congestion, overflow parking in residential neighborhoods, or threats to pedestrian, bicycle, or
vehicle safety, the property owners of the uses for which the off-site parking was provided may
be held in violation of this chapter.
5. Circulation Plan Required: Any application for a building permit shall include a
site plan, drawn to scale, and fully dimensioned, showing any off street parking or loading
facilities to be provided in compliance with this title. A tabulation of the number of off street
vehicle and bicycle parking, loading, and stacking spaces required by this chapter shall appear in
a conspicuous place on the plan.
6. Driveways and Drive Approaches:
a. Compliance with Other Adopted Regulations:
(1) Parking lots shall be designed in compliance with applicable city codes,
ordinances, and standards, including but not limited to Title 12 of this code: Vehicles and Traffic
and the Off Street Parking Standards Manual to the maximum degree practicable, with respect
to:
(A) Minimum distances between curb cuts;
(B) Proximity of curb cuts to intersections;
(C) Provisions for shared driveways;
(D) Location, quantity and design of landscaped islands; and
(E) Design of parking lot interior circulation system.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 21A.44.060.A.6.a(1) above,
relocation of a driveway for a single-family, two-family, or twin home residence in any zoning
district shall only be required when the residence is replaced, and shall not be required when the
residence is expanded or renovated in compliance with the city code.
b. General Standards: Access to all parking facilities shall comply with the
following standards:
(1) To the maximum extent practicable, all off street parking facilities shall be
designed with vehicular access to a street or alley that will least interfere with automobile,
bicycle, and pedestrian traffic movement.
(2) Parking facilities in excess of five (5) spaces that access a public street
shall be designed to allow vehicles to enter and exit the lot in a forward direction.
231
(3) Number of curb cuts: Lots with less than one hundred feet (100') of street
frontage shall have only one (1) curb cut. Lots with one hundred feet (100') of street frontage or
more are permitted one (1) curb cut for the first one hundred feet (100') of street frontage and one
(1) additional curb cut for every additional two hundred fifty feet (250') of street frontage. The
transportation director may approve additional curb cuts when necessary to ensure pedestrian,
bicycle, and vehicle safety or to comply with the fire code. Public safety uses shall be exempt
from limitations on curb cuts.
(4) Location: Driveways and drive approaches shall be at least 5 feet from any
public utility infrastructure such as power poles, fire hydrants, and water meters.
(5) Distance from street corners: Driveways and drive approaches for Single
and Two-Family Dwellings shall be located at least 20 feet from street corner property lines.
Driveways and drive approaches for all other uses shall be at least 50 feet from street corner
property lines. Driveways and drive approaches in the D-1, D-2, D-3, D-4, and G-MU Zoning
Districts shall be located to the side of the building or as far from the street corner as possible.
The driveway location may be modified by the planning director if complying with this provision
creates a conflict with the location of an existing street tree or other public infrastructure. When
the width of the lot is less than the required distance, the transportation director may approve
modifications no greater than the minimum necessary to accommodate the driveway and drive
approach.
(6) Lead to approved parking area: Except for entrance and exit driveways
leading to approved parking areas, no curb cuts or driveways are permitted.
(7) Drive Approach Widths: All drive approaches shall comply with the
standards listed in Table 21A.44.060-C, "Minimum and Maximum Drive Approach Width".
