SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. of 1990
(Demolition Permits)
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 64 OF TITLE 18 OF THE
SALT LAKE CITY CODE, RELATING TO DEMOLITION PERMITS BY
ADDING THERETO A NEW SECTION 18 . 64 . 070 .
WHEREAS, the City Council is vitally concerned with the
preserving the vitality of its residential neighborhoods and
retaining its housing stock, particularly its irreplaceable
low income housing inventory; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has become aware of a
material threat to these said objectives by commercial
encroachments into neighborhoods and by resultant requests
for demolition permits of residential dwellings; and
WHEREAS, Community Council and other concerned
residents of the City have lobbied for relief through
various legislative initiatives, including the enactment of
an ordinance more closely monitoring and controlling such
demolition; and
WHEREAS, the Council is also sensitive to the property
rights of those owning property and their desires to
improve, upgrade and otherwise beneficially use their
assets; and
WHEREAS, the Council is committed to the economic
development of the City and to encouraging a viable
commercial and industrial component in the City; and
WHEREAS, balancing these sometimes conflicting goals
and objectives is difficult; however, the City Council is
currently attempting such a balance through consideration of
a new ordinance regulating and establishing new procedures
for the granting of demolition permits for residential
buildings; and
WHEREAS, a proper evaluation of the competing values
and issues in such a demolition ordinance amendment requires
time and study, in order to receive input from interested
parties and organizations in the community; but, irreparable
harm will be done, if these residential structures are
destroyed before that evaluation process is completed and
the law adopted; and
WHEREAS, Utah law permits a moratorium for a period of
time not exceeding six ( 6 ) months to preserve the status quo
during such an evaluation period, under Section 10-9-18 (g)
Utah Code Ann. , 1953 ; and
WHEREAS, after deliberations, the City Council is of
the opinion that there is a compelling public need and
interest that requires a moratorium to prevent irreparable
loss of housing stock during its deliberative process on
demolitions ;
NOW THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of
Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1 . That Chapter 64 of Title 18 of the City
Code relating to demolition permits be and the same is
-2-
hereby amended by adding Section 18 . 64 . 070 relating to a
moratorium regarding the granting of demolition permits for
the destruction of residential dwellings within the City, as
follows :
18.64.070 Temporary Moratorium.
A. Notwithstanding anything in this chapter to the
contrary, no demolition permit which would authorize the
destruction or removal of a building containing a
residential dwelling unit may be granted by the City for a
period of ninety ( 90) days from the effective date of this
ordinance or until such sooner time as the City Council
adopts an amendment to Chapter 64 of Title 18 of this City
Code, unless : ( 1 ) the City determines that the structure
involves an enforcement action by the City pursuant to this
title or the Uniform Housing Code for the Abatement of
Dangerous Buildings; or ( 2 ) the City, from a Reuse Plan
submitted in conjunction with the application for a
demolition permit and other information reasonably necessary
for that purpose, determines that it is probable that the
cleared land will be used in the creation or for the
construction of residential dwelling units; or ( 3 ) the
demolition is required pursuant to a conditional use permit
granted prior to the effective date of this ordinance. For
purpose of this section, the term "residential dwelling
unit" does not include hotels or inns as defined within
§21 . 04 . 285 .
-3-
B. Right to appeal . All parties impacted by this
temporary moratorium can appeal the provisions thereof to
the Housing Advisory and Appeals Board (HAAB) , under the
procedures of section 18 . 64 . 060 of the City Code. The HAAB
may authorize the building official or, otherwise, may grant
relief upon evidence of extreme hardship or other special
mitigating circumstances . In granting relief from this
moratorium, the HAAB shall consider the impact that
permitting the destruction of a residential unit would have
on the Igma.1041Eme housing stock in the City and the value of
preserving neighborhoods and the residential character of
the surrounding environs .
SECTION 2 . In the opinion of the City Council of Salt
Lake City, Utah, it is necessary to the peace, health and
welfare of the inhabitants of Salt Lake City that this
moratorium be imposed immediately to preserve the status quo
until it can fully consider the impacts of amending the
demolition ordinance as it currently exists in City law.
SECTION 3 . This ordinance shall take effect
immediately upon its first publication.
Passed by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah,
