In July,2008, the City Council changed these requirements after substantial study.A principal reason for the change was to incorporate specific standards in the ordinance in order to make conditional use approvals less discretionary and thus more predictable. Now, after having had experience in applying these new standards,the Department wants to significantly modify them because it has "encountered a number of issues and problems in applying them . to specific projects and applications." The intent of the proposed amendments is to clarify and resolve these problems. The attached transmittal details the changes and Department's rationale for doing so. KEY POINTS • The proposed ordinance will collapse several existing specific approval standards into four general"Standards for Review."The remainder of the 2008 standards will be deemed"Factors to Consider"in applying the general standards. It is unclear whether the Factors to Consider would be mandatory, as is the case with the present standards,or are discretionary. • Several other technical amendments are proposed which will improve the ordinance. Council staff has suggested minor refinements to the proposed ordinance language which have been agreed to by Community Development staff. ISSUES/QUESTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION • Will the proposed changes make the conditional use permit process more predictable and hence less frustrating for applicants,neighbors, and the City? • If the now required standards are changed to"factors"that must simply be"considered," will the process be improved? • Although the use tables were substantially amended in 2008, should they be further modified to remove potentially detrimental conditional uses from particular zoning districts? 1 OUTLINE OF EXPECTATIONS Council and Community Development staff have discussed possible amendments to the proposed ordinance that will resolve the concerns of the Community Development Department as well as retain the specific standards adopted by the Council in 2008. It is proposed that the Council and Community Development staff work together to prepare an amended ordinance for Council consideration.This could be completed for a January, 2012 Work Session. OPTIONS • Confirm that the Community Development Department staff supports clarifying revisions to the draft ordinance. • Direct Council staff to amend the ordinance as may be discussed in the Work Session. • Proceed with the proposed ordinance as drafted. 2 SCANNED (II,j1 ��j��RtEfCE�WE�D�j+�AAPR 01i220010 SCANNED B FRANK B.

Chapter 21A.54 was modified most recently by the City Council in July of 2008. The changes were most specifically with regard to the standards and criteria necessary for approval. Staff has applied these criteria for approximately 1 and '/2 years and has encountered a number of issues and problems in applying them to specific projects and applications. These amendments arecan attempt to clarify and resolve those problems. Petition#PLNPCM2009-00174 Conditional Use Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 404 P.O. BOX 145486, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114.5486 Page 1 of 6 TELEPHONE: 801-535-6230 FAX: B01-535.6005 WWW.SLCGOV.COM/CED It �r RECYCLE.PAPER Analysis There are a number of significant changes proposed in this chapter, as well as general fine tuning d designed to clarify language and facilitate understanding and application of the regulations. Below is a summary of the changes proposed, with a brief analysis of the rationale for the amendment(Petition#PLNPCM2009-00174). Planned Developments All substantive references to Planned Developments have been removed from this chapter, as the criteria, and process for a Planned Development will be moved to its own chapter. The Planning Commission recommended approval of these changes and they have been transmitted to the City Council. Administrative Conditional Use Changes to this section feature consolidating language from other areas of the chapter into one section. This will enable better understanding of the process and eliminate mistakes as all language will be located in one specific place. Standards for Review Staff has significantly modified the standards of review necessary for approval. The standards of review adopted in July 2008, included 5 standards with approximately 20 sub categories of standards, many of which seem repetitive when conducting an analysis of a Conditional Use. voto The proposed standards have been designed to reduce the repetition and better focus on impacts. One primary change to this section is the elimination of the "Detrimental Concentration" criteria from the existing ordinance. This provision required a review of all conditional uses and nonconforming uses within a radius of 'A mile of the proposed use with the purpose of determining whether or not the use is appropriate. The language reads: "f. Whether detrimental concentration of existing nonconforming or conditional uses substantially similar to the use proposed is likely to occur, based on an inventory of uses within one-fourth(1/4)mile of the exterior boundary of the subject property." After applying this requirement for approximately one year, staff has determined that this criterion should be eliminated for the following reasons: 1. When the City Council adopts the use table, a determination of the appropriateness of a use in the zone is made, and it is assumed that the use is compatible with surrounding uses provided the standards and factors for consideration are met. Therefore, there should not be a detrimental concentration because each approved conditional use, with associated conditions of approval,has been found to not impact the area. 2. There is no standard to determine what number (how many) of a certain type of conditional use would tip the scales to create the detrimental concentration. Amok Petition#PLNPCM2009-00174 Conditional Use Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments Page 2 of 6 3. If policy-makers determine that there is too large a concentration of a certain conditional use, then the appropriate action would be for the City Council to eliminate this use from the use table, rezone properties and/or modify the future land use map in the applicable master plan. Standards for Review have been separated from Factors to Consider, with the idea that the standards are the findings that the Planning Commission or administrative hearing officer must make in order to approve the use, and the factors to consider are the apparatus used to make said findings. There are 4 standards proposed and 14 factors to consider. State Code requires that any Conditional Use be approved unless the impact of the use on surrounding properties cannot be mitigated through the application of the standards and conditions of approval. Proposed standards include: 1. The use complies with all applicable provisions of this zoning ordinance, state and federal law; 2. The use is compatible or, with conditions of approval, can be made to be compatible with surrounding uses; 3. The use is consistent with applicable adopted City planning policies, documents and Master Plans., and 4. The anticipated detrimental effects of any differences in use or scale have been reasonably mitigated through careful planning. If a finding of compliance with these standards cannot be made, then denial of the project would be appropriate. Adversely, if a fmding of compliance can be made for each, then the use must be approved. Factors to Consider When reviewing the application for compliance, the Planning Commission or administrative hearing officer will consider 14 factors for approval. These factors though general, are designed to address the general issues and impacts of a use on neighboring properties while providing sufficient leeway to address the unique issues and problems related to each specific location and use. 1. The proposed use is one of the Conditional Uses specifically listed in this title. 2. Master Plan and Zoning Ordinance Compliance: The use is consistent with policies set forth in the adopted citywide, community, and small area master plan and future land use map where the use is located. 3. Use Compatibility: The use is well-suited to the character of the site, and adjacent uses. The analysis shall evaluate the intensity, size, and scale of the use compared to existing uses in the surrounding area. 4. Building Form and Scale: The mass, scale, style, design and architectural detailing of the surrounding structures as they relate to the proposed use shall be considered. 5. Access. Whether access points and driveways are designed to minimize grading of the natural topography, direct vehicular traffic onto major streets, and not impede traffic flows. Petition#PLNPCM2009-00174 Conditional Use Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments Page 3 of 6 6. Internal Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation: Whether the internal circulation ,,104, — system is designed to mitigate adverse impacts on adjacent property from motorized, non-motorized, and pedestrian traffic. Sites shall be designed to enable access and circulation for pedestrians and bicycles. 7. Traffic: The proposed means of access to the site shall be carefully considered to determine the impact of the use on the service level to the street or any adjacent street; 8. Parking: The location and design of off-street parking complies with applicable standards of this Ordinance; 9. Utility Access: Whether there is sufficient utility capacity to support the use at normal service levels; 10. Buffering and Screening: Whether appropriate screening, buffering or other means to separate the use from adjoining dissimilar uses and mitigation of the potential for conflict in uses is provided. 11. Environmental Impact: Whether the use significantly impacts the quality of the surrounding air and water, encroaches into a river or stream, or introduces any hazards or environmental damage to any adjacent property. 12. Operation and Delivery: Whether the hours of operation and delivery of the use are compatible with surrounding uses. 13. Signs and Lighting: Whether signs and lighting proposed are compatible with, and do not negatively impact surrounding uses. 14. Historic Preservation: Whether the proposed use takes into consideration the preservation of historic resources and structures. Conditional Use RevocationAuk Currently, the standard to revoke a conditional use is unclear. Staff has drafted language allowing the Mayor or the Mayor's designee to initiate a revocation hearing requesting that the Planning Commission revoke or modify a conditional use, provided the following findings are met: 1. A material detrimental change in the conditional use approval without authorization or an amendment;or 2. Material noncompliance with the conditions prescribed upon issuance of the conditional use or with representations by the permittee as to the nature of the conditional use to be conducted; or 3. Operation of the conditional use in such a manner as to create an ongoing nuisance for neighboring persons or property. The language further provides hearing and appeal information relating to the use. Alterations or Modifications The proposal clarifies language relating to the modification of an existing conditional use or a nonconforming conditional use. Petition#PLNPCM2009-00174 Conditional Use Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments Page 4 of 6 1. Alterations or modifications to an existing legal conditional use that increase the floor area by one thousand (1,000) gross square feet or less and meets the standards for a conditional use may be approved by the Planning Director without a public hearing. 2. Alterations or modifications to an existing legal conditional use that increase the floor area by more than one thousand (1,000) gross square feet shall be reviewed as a new conditional use pursuant to the requirements and standards of the conditional use chapter. Fine Tuning There are a number of additional changes proposed to the document; nonetheless, they are not substantive in nature. These changes are designed to facilitate understanding and clarify, not to change meaning. Master Plan Considerations The community master plan land use policies generally define neighborhood, community and regional land use locations and characteristics. They do not specifically address the level of detail that code maintenance addresses. The purpose of this rewrite is another step in the ongoing effort to amend and update the document and bring it into conformance with State regulations, best planning practices and to improve the efficiency of the regulation process. All of these goals are consistent with the purposes and goals of the respective City Master Plans and the Zoning Ordinance. These amendments are an attempt to clarify and resolve problems encountered while applying the current standards of review in the Ordinance. PUBLIC PROCESS: This application was reviewed by the Zoning Amendment Project Task Force on August 10, 2009, and again on September 28, 2009. Summary notes are included as an attachment in 5.B of the Planning Commission staff report. The issue of concentration was reviewed and commented on by the ZAP task force, who had a number of comments and issues, including: • If it is discovered that there is a significant concentration of a negative use in an area, policy makers need to change the ordinance and not allow the use. • Need to ensure that the zoning map mirrors the applicable master plan. If the master plan calls for residential but the zoning map does not allow it, then that is a problem. • The zoning needs to be supported by the uses in the area. • In some areas you cannot rely on the zone, because the zoning does not match what is on the ground or in the plan. The project was also reviewed at an open house on July 21, 2009. No public comments were received. Petition#PLNPCM2009-00 174 Conditional Use Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments Page 5 of 6 Staff has received comments from members of the Sugar House Community Council expressing concern that the proposed changes will limit the amount of review available to Community Councils. Specifically, they were concerned that the following language would be removed from the document: 1. A signed statement that the applicant has met with and explained the proposed conditional use to the appropriate neighborhood organization entitled to receive notice pursuant to title 2, chapter 2.62 of this code; This language requires that an applicant present a project to the Community Council in which the project is proposed prior to any hearing in front of the Planning Commission. This draft does not alter that requirement. The Planning Commission held public hearings on October 14, 2009 and again on November 18, 2009. The Commission passed a motion to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council. The vote passed unanimously with Commissioners Gallegos, Fife, Dean, Muir, Chambless, Woodhead, and Algarin voting. Commissioner Woodhead was the chair and therefore did not vote. RELEVANT ORDINANCES: Amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and Maps are authorized under Section 21A.50 of the Salt amok Lake City Zoning Ordinance, as detailed in Section 21A.50.050: "A decision to amend the text of this title or the zoning map by general amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the City Council and is not controlled by any one standard." It does, however, list five standards, which should be analyzed prior to rezoning property (Section 21 A.50.050 A-E). The five standards are discussed in detail starting on page 5 of the Planning Commission Staff Report (see Attachment 7).

Conditional uses are allowed unless appropriate conditions cannot be applied which, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, or administrative hearing officer, would mitigate adverse impacts that may arise by introducing a conditional use on the particular site. Approval of a conditional use It requires a careful review of its location, design, configuration and special impact to determine the desirability of allowing it on a particular site. Whether it the use is appropriate in a particular location requires a weighing of;in each case, of the public need and benefit against the local impact , taking into account the applicant's proposals for ..meliorating any to mitigate, . adverse impacts through special site planning, development techniques an contributionssrto th re isio of ublic improvements, s n SECTION 2.

The Council specifically requested that the administration N/A analyze the standards for conditional uses to ensure their appropriateness. Therefore a petition to amend the following sections Master Plan Designation: of the Zoning Ordinance was initiated. As part of that ongoing process City Wide staff has modified Chapter 21A.54 Conditional Use, and is requesting Council District: that the Planning Commission review and provide direction with 'y Wide regard to the proposed changes. Review Standards The purpose of the amendment is to bring the chapter into compliance 21A.50.050 Standards for General with state code, to clarify the intent of certain sections, and to revise Amendments the standards and factors necessary for conditional use approval.

Summary Notes from ZAP task a formal recommendation. - force meeting. 1 Background The rewrite of Chapter 21A.54, Conditional Uses, of the zoning ordinance is another step in the ongoing effort to amend and update the document and bring it into conformance with state regulations, best planning practices and to improve the efficiency of the regulation process. Chapter 21A.54 was modified most recently by the City Council in July of 2008. The changes were most specifically with regard to the standards and criteria necessary for approval. Staff has applied these criteria for approximately 1 and % years and has encountered a number of issues and problems in applying them to specific projects and applications. These amendments are an attempt to clarify and resolve those problems. Public Participation This application was reviewed by the Zoning Amendment Project task force on August 10, 2009, and again on September 28, 2009. Summary notes are attached as exhibit B. The project was also reviewed at an open house on July 21, 2009. No public comments were received. Issue Analysis There are a number of significant changes proposed in this chapter, as well as general fine tuning designed to clarify language and facilitate understanding and application of the regulations. Below is a summary of the changes proposed, with a brief analysis of the rationale for the amendment. When the 000104 Planning Commission provides direction to forward the document to the City Council, staff will provide Nolet analysis and findings for the standards in Chapter 21A.50.050 Standards for General Amendments. Planned Developments All substantive references to Planned Developments have been removed from this chapter, as the criteria, and process for a Planned Development will be moved to its own chapter. Administrative Conditional Use Changes to this section feature consolidating language from other areas of the chapter into one section. This will enable better understanding of the process and eliminate mistakes as all language will be located in one specific place. Although not final, staff has discussed the possibility of removing the requirement that all administrative conditional uses (those heard by an administrative officer only) be reviewed by Community Councils. This would streamline the time necessary to receive approval as well as free up Community Council agendas for other topics. Community Councils would still receive notice of the application, and be free to provide input at the public hearing, but the applicant would not be required to present to the Community Council. 4%40- Amok Standards for Review itaff has significantly modified the standards of review necessary for approval. Standards have been separated from Factors to Consider, with the idea that the Standards are the findings that the Planning Commission or administrative hearing officer must make in order to approve the use, and the Factors to consider are the apparatus used to make said findings. State Code requires that any Conditional Use shall be approved unless the impact of the use on surrounding properties cannot be mitigated through the application of the standards, factors to consider and conditions of approval. Proposed standards include: 1. The use complies with all applicable provisions of this zoning ordinance, state and federal law; 2. The use is compatible or, with conditions of approval, can be made to be compatible with surrounding uses; 3. The use is consistent with applicable adopted City planning policies, documents and Master Plans; and 4. The anticipated detrimental effects of any differences in use or scale have been reasonably mitigated through careful planning. If a finding of compliance with these standards cannot be made, then denial of the project would be appropriate. Adversely, if a finding of compliance can be made for each, then the use must be approved. Factors to Consider When reviewing the application for compliance, the Planning Commission or administrative hearing officer will consider 13 factors for approval. These factors though general, are designed to address the -eneral issues and impacts of a use on neighboring properties while providing sufficient leeway to Address the unique issues and problems related to each specific location and use. 1. The proposed use is one of the Conditional Uses specifically listed in this title. 2. Master Plan and Zoning Ordinance Compliance: The use is consistent with policies set forth in the adopted citywide, community, and small area master plan and future land use map where the use is located. 3. Use Compatibility: The use is well-suited to the character of the site, and adjacent uses. The analysis shall evaluate the intensity, size, and scale of the use compared to existing uses in the surrounding area. 4. Building Form and Scale: The mass, scale, style, design and architectural detailing of the surrounding structures as they relate to the proposed use shall be considered. 5. Access. Whether access points and driveways are designed to minimize grading of the natural topography, direct vehicular traffic onto major streets, and not impede traffic flows. 6. Internal Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation: Whether the internal circulation system shall be designed to mitigate adverse impacts on adjacent property from motorized, non-motorized, and pedestrian traffic. Sites shall be designed to enable access and circulation for pedestrian and bicycles. 7. Traffic: The proposed means of access to the site shall be carefully considered to determine the impact of the use on the service level to such street or any adjacent street; 8. Parking: The location and design of off-street parking complies with applicable standards of this Ordinance; 9. Utility Access: Whether there is sufficient utility capacity to support the use at normal service levels; 3 10, Buffering and Screening: Whether appropriate screening, buffering or other means to separate the use from adjoining dissimilar uses and mitigation of the potential for conflict in uses is provided. 11. Environmental Impact: Whether the use significantly impacts the quality of the surrounding air and water, encroaches into a river or stream, or introduces any hazards or environmental damage to any adjacent property. 12. Operation and Delivery: Whether the hours of operation and delivery of the use are compatible with surrounding uses. 13. Signs and Lighting: Whether signs and lighting proposed are compatible with, and do not negatively impact surrounding uses. 14. Historic Preservation: Whether the proposed use takes into consideration the preservation of historic resources and structures. One primary change to this section is the elimination of the "Detrimental Concentration" criteria from the previous section. This provision required a review of all conditional uses and nonconforming uses within a radius of'A a mile of the proposed use with the purpose of determining whether or not the use is appropriate. After applying this requirement for approximately one year, staff has determined that this criterion should be eliminated for the following reasons: 1. When the City Council adopts the use table, a determination of the appropriateness of a use in the zone is made, and it is assumed that the use is compatible with surrounding uses provided the standards and factors for consideration are met. Therefore, there should not be a detrimental concentration because each approved conditional use, with associated conditions of approval, has been found to not impact the area. „, N 2. There is no standard to determine what number of a certain type of conditional use would tip the , ; scales to create the detrimental concentration. 3. If policy makers determine that there is too large a concentration of a certain conditional use, then the appropriate action would be for the City Council to eliminate this use from the use table, rezone properties and/or modify the future land use map in the applicable master plan. This issue was reviewed and commented on by the ZAP task force, who had a number of comments and issues, including: • If it is discovered that there is a significant concentration of a negative use in an area, then policy makers need to change ordinance and not allow the use. • Need to ensure that the zoning map mirrors the applicable Master Plan. If the master plan calls for residential but the zoning map does not allow it, then that is a problem. • The zoning needs to be supported by the uses in the area. • In some areas, you can't rely on the zone because the zoning doesn't match what's on the ground or in the plan. Conditional Use Revocation Currently, the standard to revoke a conditional use is unclear. Staff has drafted language allowing the Mayor, or the Planning Commission to revoke or modify a conditional use, provided the following findings are met: 4 1. A material detrimental change in the conditional use approval without authorization or an amendment: or 2. Material noncompliance with the conditions prescribed upon issuance of the conditional use or with representations by the permittee as to the nature of the conditional use to be conducted; or 3. Operation of the conditional use in such a manner as to create an ongoing nuisance for neighboring persons or property. The language further provides hearing, and appeal information relating to the use. This language also was of concern to members of the task force, who stated that it is possible that giving the power to initiate a revocation to the Mayor or Mayor's designee may politicize the process. It was suggested that staff look at the way other licenses such as business licenses are revoked. Staff reviewed the processes and modified the language to mirror that of other revocations in the City, and therefore recommends this language. Alterations or Modifications Staff is proposing to clarify language relating to the modification of an existing conditional use or a nonconforming conditional use. 1. Alterations or modifications to an existing legal conditional use that increase the floor area by one thousand (1,000) gross square feet or less may be approved by the Planning Director without a public hearing. 2. Alterations or modifications to an existing legal conditional use that increase the floor area by more than one thousand (1,000) gross square feet shall be reviewed as a new conditional use pursuant to the requirements and standards of the new chapter. Fine Tuning There are a number of additional changes proposed to the document; nonetheless, they are not substantive in nature. These changes are designed to facilitate understanding and clarify, not to change meaning. 5 Chapter 21A.54 CONDITIONAL USES 21A.54.010: PURPOSE STATEMENT: A conditional use is a land use which, because of its unique characteristics or potential impact on the municipality, surrounding neighbors or adjacent land uses, may not be compatible or may be compatible only if certain conditions are required that mitigate or eliminate the negative impacts. Conditional uses are allowed unless appropriate conditions cannot be applied which, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, or administrative hearing officer, would mitigate adverse impacts that may arise by introducing a conditional use on the particular site. Approval of a conditional use It requires a careful review of its location, design, configuration and special impact to determine the desirability of allowing it on a particular site. Whether it the use is appropriate in a particular location requires a-weighing of, in each case, of tho public need and benefit against the local impact, taking into account the applicant's proposals for ameliorating—any to mitigate adverse impacts through special site planning, development techniques and public improvements, rights of way and cervices.

Does it mean that 75% of the impacts are mitigated? 100% of the impacts are mitigated? Clarify the criteria. An example would be to have a specific measurement of the noise that cannot be violated. That way it is easier to determine if it will really mitigate the impact and it can be enforced more easily. The below underlined text is clarification language by Esther Hunter relating to this issue. If possible the range of mitigations and the options of how these items can be mitigated be listed rather than just that something needs to be mitigated. Not sure this is possible but it would be extremely helpful. Frank did something similar to this idea for the definition ofprisons. Myfeeling is that it is a benefit to get at as much on the table in advance as possible so that business 0404 owners know the cost to consider going into a property and residential owners feel a certain level of confidence that mitigation issues will be addressed. 20 It was suggested that staff take the last several controversial areas and by contacting the people involved in order to help identifi.'a potential list of issues to define in advance of many of the problem areas. (Eggs in the City for example had standard issues such as parking but also hours of preparation/smell which could be addressed by the direction of the fans used, etc.) My feeling is the more listed ahead of the time the better off everyone will be in building in less conflict and better system of trust in the ordinance. Also suggested was that each departments criteria and process be identified and documented(that is used in their evaluation process in giving a green light such as transportation, etc.). Housing is a conditional use in commercial zones. Relook at the use tables and determine what should be permitted, conditional use or not allowed. Hard to work through issues (to mitigate impacts when applicant already did the work) Retroactive approval (boarding house issue). When department sign-off on project they should note what standards they are using. What do they base their criteria on? (Best professional practices or adopted regulations for City. ) The concentration of use is in a specific geographic area. Need to change ordinance and not allow the use if there are too many and they have a negative impact as a whole. .-Iave to be able to say something specific relating to concentration such as the roads can't handle more traffic in the area. Need to ensure zoning implements the plan if the master plan calls for residential but not enough housing, then that is a problem. The zoning needs to be supported by the uses in the area. In some areas, you can't rely on the zone because the zoning doesn't match what's on the ground or in the plan. What is revocation process for a Conditional Use? • It is a very difficult process, hard to revoke. • Having it go to the mayor to initiate revocation is political. Put the authority in a less political agency such as the attorney's office. • Why not have the process be similar to other revocations? Where else in the City does there need to be a reliance on mayor to do something like this? Look at business license revocation process and possibly mimic it Not requiring a process for expansions of less than 1,000 square feet is not consistent with onconforming regulations. 21 Changing from one conditional use to a different type of conditional use needs public input process. The whole nature of business is changing. '_I. In some cases it may be ok to allow without process. In other cases it is not appropriate to not have a process. The underlying zoning can help provide density and intensity, but where allow incremental change of use, it intensifies the use without input. Impacts of smoking outdoors is an issue. Need to have indoor accommodations and separate ventilation. This would violate State Law. Amok 22 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT ,4, n.n'� f1jll .

Minutes from October 14, 2009 Planning Commission Meeting 1 Background The rewrite of Chapter 21A.54, Conditional Uses, of the zoning ordinance is another step in the ongoing effort to amend and update the document and bring it into conformance with state regulations, best planning practices and to improve the efficiency of the regulation process. Chapter 21A.54 was modified most recently by the City Council in July of 2008. The changes were most specifically with regard to the standards and criteria necessary for approval. Staff has applied these criteria for approximately 1 and 1/2 years and has encountered a number of issues and problems in - applying them to specific projects and applications. These amendments are an attempt to clarify and resolve those problems. These changes were reviewed by the Planning Commission on October 14, 2009. At the meeting, the Commission conducted a public hearing and directed staff to return in November with a recommendation to forward the changes on to the City Council. Public Participation This application was reviewed by the Zoning Amendment Project task force on August 10, 2009, and again on September 28, 2009. Summary notes are attached as exhibit B. The project was also reviewed at an open house on July 21, 2009. No public comments were received. Staff has received comments from members of the Sugar House Community Council expressing concern that the proposed changes will limit the amount of review available to Community Councils. , ' Issue Analysis There are a number of significant changes proposed in this chapter, as well as general fine tuning designed to clarify language and facilitate understanding and application of the regulations. Below is a summary of the changes proposed, with a brief analysis of the rationale for the amendment. Staff has also provided analysis and findings for the standards in Chapter 21A.50.050 Standards for General Amendments. Planned Developments All substantive references to Planned Developments have been removed from this chapter, as the criteria, and process for a Planned Development will be moved to its own chapter. The Planning - Commission recommended approval of these changes and they have been transmitted to the City Council. Administrative Conditional Use Changes to this section feature consolidating language from other areas of the chapter into one section. This will enable better understanding of the process and eliminate mistakes as all language will be located in one specific place. 4144) 2 Standards for Review staff has significantly modified the standards of review necessary for approval. Standards have been separated from Factors to Consider, with the idea that the Standards are the findings that the Planning Commission or administrative hearing officer must make in order to approve the use, and the Factors to consider are the apparatus used to make said findings. State Code requires that any Conditional Use shall be approved unless the impact of the use on surrounding properties cannot be mitigated through the application of the standards, factors to consider and conditions of approval. Proposed standards include: 1. The use complies with all applicable provisions of this zoning ordinance, state and federal Jaw; 2. The use is compatible or, with conditions of approval, can be made to be compatible with surrounding uses; 3. The use is consistent with applicable adopted City planning policies, documents and Master Plans; and 4. The anticipated detrimental effects of any differences in use or scale have been reasonably mitigated through careful planning. If a finding of compliance with these standards cannot be made, then denial of the project would be appropriate. Adversely, if a finding of compliance can be made for each, then the use must be approved. Factors to Consider When reviewing the application for compliance, the Planning Commission or administrative hearing officer will consider 13 factors for approval. These factors though general, are designed to address the eneral issues and impacts of a use on neighboring properties while providing sufficient leeway to address the unique issues and problems related to each specific location and use. 1. The proposed use is one of the Conditional Uses specifically listed in this title. 2. Master Plan and Zoning Ordinance Compliance: The use is consistent with policies set forth in the adopted citywide, community, and small area master plan and future land use map where the use is located. 3. Use Compatibility: The use is well-suited to the character of the site, and adjacent uses. The analysis shall evaluate the intensity, size, and scale of the use compared to existing uses in the surrounding area. 4. Building Form and Scale: The mass, scale, style, design and architectural detailing of the surrounding structures as they relate to the proposed use shall be considered. 5. Access. Whether access points and driveways are designed to minimize grading of the natural topography, direct vehicular traffic onto major streets, and not impede traffic flows. 6. Internal Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation: Whether the internal circulation system shall be designed to mitigate adverse-impacts on adjacent property from motorized, non-motorized, and pedestrian traffic. Sites shall be designed to enable access and circulation for pedestrian and bicycles. 7. Traffic: The proposed means of access to the site shall be carefully considered to determine the impact of the use on the service level to such street or any adjacent street; 8. Parking: The location and design of off-street parking complies with applicable standards of this Ordinance; 9. Utility Access: Whether there is sufficient utility capacity to support the use at normal service levels; 3 10.Buffering and Screening Whether appropriate screening,buffering or other means to separate the use from adjoining dissimilar uses and mitigation of the potential for conflict in uses is provided. fye_i�y SwSFa„dot�� '�lar� .w� 11.Environmental Impact: Whether the use significantly impacts the quality of the surrounding air and water, encroaches into a river or stream, or introduces any hazards or environmental damage to any adjacent property. i Kali,e,l ° 1tI Swoh^� 12.Operation and Delivery: Whether the hours of operation and delivery of the use are compatible with surrounding uses. 13.Signs and Lighting: Whether signs and lighting proposed are compatible with, and do not negatively impact surrounding uses. 14.Historic Preservation: Whether the proposed use takes into consideration the preservation of historic resources and structures. One primary change to this section is the elimination of the"Detrimental Concentration"criteria from the existing oridiance. This provision required a review of all conditional uses and nonconforming uses within a radius of'A a mile of the proposed use with the purpose of determining whether or not the use is appropriate. After applying this requirement for approximately one year,staff has determined that this criterion should be eliminated for the following reasons: 1. When the City Council adopts the use table, a determination of the appropriateness of a use in the zone is made,and it is assumed that the use is compatible with surrounding uses provided the standards and factors for consideration are met. Therefore,there should not be a detrimental concentration because each approved conditional use,with associated conditions of approval,has been found to not impact the area. — 2. There is no standard to determine what number of a certain type of conditional use would tip the scales to create the detrimental concentration. 3. If policy makers determine that there is too large a concentration of a certain conditional use, then the appropriate action would be for the City Council to eliminate this use from the use table, rezone properties and/or modify the future land use map in the applicable master plan. This issue of concentration was reviewed and commented on by the ZAP task force,who had a number of comments and issues,including: • If it is discovered that there is a significant concentration of a negative use in an area,then policy makers need to change ordinance and not allow the use. • Need to ensure that the zoning map mirrors the applicable Master Plan. If the master plan calls for residential but the zoning map does not allow it,then that is a problem. • The zoning needs to be supported by the uses in the area. • In some areas,you can't rely on the zone because the zoning doesn't match what's on the ground or in the plan. Conditional Use Revocation Currently,the standard to revoke a conditional use is unclear. Staff has drafted language allowing the Mayor or the Mayor's designee to initiate a revocation hearing requesting, the Planning Commission revoke or modify a conditional use,provided the following findings are met: Il /� 4 1. A material detrimental change in the conditional use approval without authorization or an amendment; or 2. Material noncompliance with the conditions prescribed upon issuance of the conditional use or with representations by the permittee as to the nature of the conditional use to be conducted; or 3. Operation of the conditional use in such a manner as to create an ongoing nuisance for neighboring persons or property. The language further provides hearing, and appeal information relating to the use. This language also was of concern to members of the task force, who stated that it is possible that giving the power to initiate a revocation to the Mayor or Mayor's designee may politicize the process. It was suggested that staff look at the way other licenses such as business licenses are revoked. Staff reviewed the processes and modified the language to mirror that of other revocations in the City, and therefore recommends the language in the draft ordinance (attachment A). Alterations or Modifications Staff is proposing to clarify language relating to the modification of an existing conditional use or a nonconforming conditional use. G(o, a 5t9Ad ;n cusea4A.- 1. Alterations or modifications to an existing le 1 conditional use that increase the floor area by one thousand (1,000) gross square feet or less and meets the standards for a conditional use may be approved by the Planning Director without a public hearing. 2. Alterations or modifications to an existing legal conditional use that increase the floor area by more than one thousand (1,000) gross square feet shall be reviewed as a new conditional use pursuant to the requirements and standards of the new chapter. Fine Tuning There are a number of additional changes proposed to the document; nonetheless, they are not substantive in nature. These changes are designed to facilitate understanding and clarify, not to change meaning. 21A.50.050: STANDARDS FOR GENERAL AMENDMENTS: A decision to amend the text of the Zoning Ordinance or the Zoning Map by general amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the City Council and is not controlled by any one standard. However, in making its decision concerning a proposed amendment, the City Council should consider the following factors: In making its decision concerning a proposed text amendment, the city council should consider the following factors: 1. Whether a proposed text amendment is consistent with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of the City as stated through its various adopted planning documents; 5 Analysis: The purpose of this rewrite is another step in the ongoing effort to amend and update the document and bring it into conformance with state regulations, best planning practices and to improve the efficiency of the regulation process. All of these goals are consistent with the purposes and goals of the respective City Master Plans and the Zoning Ordinance. These amendments are an attempt to clarify and resolve problems encountered while applying the current standards of review in the Ordinance. Finding: Staff finds that the proposed amendments to Chapter 54 of the Zoning Ordinance are consistent with the purposes goals, objectives and policies of the various adopted planning documents. 2. Whether a proposed text amendment furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance. Analysis: The purpose of Chapter 54 of the Zoning Ordinance is as follows: "A conditional use is a land use which, because of its unique characteristics or potential impact on the municipality, surrounding neighbors or adjacent land uses, may not be compatible or may be compatible only if certain conditions are required that mitigate or eliminate the negative impacts. Conditional uses are allowed unless appropriate conditions cannot be applied which, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, or administrative hearing officer, would mitigate adverse impacts that may arise by introducing a conditional use on the particular site." The proposed changes to the ordinance will further the purpose statement of this chapter by modifying and clarifying the requirements necessary for approval of a conditional use. These modifications create standards and factors for consideration that will facilitate mitigation of adverse impacts on neighboring property owners and will clarify sections of the chapter that were not clear or concise. Finding: Staff finds that the proposed changes to Chapter 54 of the Zoning Ordinance are consistent with the purpose statement of said chapter. 3. Whether a proposed text amendment is consistent with the purposes and provisions of any applicable overlay zoning districts which may impose additional standards. Analysis: The proposed amendments are not specifically tied to any overlay zoning district. Nonetheless, they will be applicable to all conditional uses established in the Zoning Ordinance (unless specifically exempted). When reviewing a project for compliance with the Zoning Ordinance, requirements from overlay zoning districts will be a necessary component to the review. No exemption is featured in these amendments. Finding: Staff finds that the proposed amendments will be consistent with all applicable overlay zoning districts as featured on the zoning map. 4. The extent to which a proposed text amendment implements best current, professional practices of urban planning and design. Analysis: The primary purpose of these amendments is to bring Chapter 54 into compliance with current State Code, and to make them more compatible with other chapters and sections of the code that have been changed recently. The standards of review and factors for consideration proposed have been 6 Chapter 21 A.54 CONDITIONAL USES 21A.54.010: PURPOSE STATEMENT: A conditional use is a land use which, because of its unique characteristics or potential impact on the municipality, surrounding neighbors or adjacent land uses, may not be compatible or may be compatible only if certain conditions are required that mitigate or eliminate the negative impacts. Conditional uses are allowed unless appropriate conditions cannot be applied which, in the judgment of the Planning Commission, or administrative hearing officer, would mitigate adverse impacts that may arise by introducing a conditional use on the particular site. Approval of a conditional use It requires a careful review of its location, design, configuration and special impact to determine the desirability of allowing it on a particular site. Whether it the use is appropriate in a particular location requires a-weighing of, in each case, of the public need and benefit against the local impact, taking into account the applicant's proposals for to mitigate adverse impacts through special site planning, development techniques and contributions to the provision of public improvements, rights of way and 21A.54.020: AUTHORITY: -he Planning Commission, or in the case of administrative conditional uses, the Planning Director or designee, may, in accordance with the procedures and standards set out in this chapter, and other regulations applicable to the district in which the property is located, approve uses listed as conditional uses in the tables of permitted and conditional uses found-at the end of ach chapter of part Ill of this title for each category of zoning district or districts.

Building Form and Scale: The mass, scale, style, design and architectural detailing of the surrounding structures as they relate to the proposed use shall be considered. 5. Access. Whether access points and driveways are designed to minimize grading of the natural topography, direct vehicular traffic onto major streets, and not impede traffic flows. 6. Internal Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation: Whether the internal circulation system shall be designed to mitigate adverse impacts on adjacent property from motorized, non-motorized, and pedestrian traffic. Sites shall be designed to enable access and circulation for pedestrian and bicycles. 7. Traffic: The proposed means of access to the site shall be carefully considered to determine the impact of the use on the service level to such street or any adjacent street; 8.

Utility Access: Whether there is sufficient utility capacity to support the use at normal service levels; 10.Buffering and Screening: Whether appropriate screening, buffering or other means to separate the use from adjoining dissimilar uses and mitigation of the potential for conflict in uses is provided. 11.Environmental Impact: Whether the use significantly impacts the quality of the surrounding air and water, encroaches into a river or stream, or introduces any hazards or environmental damage to any adjacent property. 12.Operation and Delivery: Whether the hours of operation and delivery of the use are compatible with surrounding uses. 13.Signs and Lighting: Whether signs and lighting proposed are compatible with, and do not negatively impact surrounding uses. 14.Historic Preservation: Whether the proposed use takes into consideration the preservation of historic resources and structures. Decision on Conditional Use Application The Planning Commission or in the case of administrative conditional uses, the Planning Director or designee shall provide written notice of the decision, and all conditions imposed to the applicant and local community council within ten (10) days of the final action. This notice shall be recorded against the property by the City Recorder. C. Imposition Of Conditions Of Approval: The Planning Commission, or, in the case of administrative conditional uses, the Planning Director or the director's designee, may impose on a conditional use any conditions necessary to make conform the proposed use compatible with the uses on adjacent properties section. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, conditions on the scope of the use; its character or location; architecture; signage; construction; landscaping; access; loading and parking; sanitation; drainage and utilities; fencing and screening; setbacks; natural hazards; public safety; environmental impacts; hours and methods of operation; dust, fumes, smoke and odor; noise, vibrations; chemicals, toxins, pathogens, and gases; and heat, light, and radiation.

Does it mean that 75% of the impacts are mitigated? 100% of the impacts are mitigated? Clarify the criteria. An example would be to have a specific measurement of the noise that cannot be violated. That way it is easier to determine if it will really mitigate the impact and it can be enforced more easily. The below underlined text is clarification language by Esther Hunter relating to this issue. If possible the range of mitigations and the options oLow these items can be mitigated be listed rather than just that something needs to be mitigated. Not sure this is possible but it would be extremely helpful. Frank did something similar to this idea for the definition ofprisons. My feeling is that it is a benefit to get at as much on the table in advance as possible so that business owners know the cost to consider going into a property and residential owners feel a certain level of confidence that mitigation issues will be addressed 22 It was suggested that staff take the last several controversial areas and by contacting the people involved in order to help identify a potential list of issues to define in advance of many of the problem areas. (Eggs in the City for example had standard issues such as parking but also hours of preparation/smell which could be addressed by the direction of the fans used, etc.) My feeling is the more listed ahead of the time the better off everyone will be in building in less conflict and better system of trust in the ordinance. Also suggested was that each departments criteria and process be identified and documented(that is used in their evaluation process in giving a green light such as transportation, etc.). • Housing is a conditional use in commercial zones. Relook at the use tables and determine what should be permitted, conditional use or not allowed. Hard to work through issues (to mitigate impacts when applicant already did the work) Retroactive approval (boarding house issue). When department sign-off on project they should note what standards they are using. What do they base their criteria on? (Best professional practices or adopted regulations for City. ) The concentration of use is in a specific geographic area. Need to change ordinance and not allow the use if there are too many and they have a negative impact as a whole. lave to be able to say something specific relating to concentration such as the roads can't handle more traffic in the area. Need to ensure zoning implements the plan if the master plan calls for residential but not enough housing, then that is a problem. The zoning needs to be supported by the uses in the area. In some areas, you can't rely on the zone because the zoning doesn't match what's on the ground or in the plan. What is revocation process for a Conditional Use? • It is a very difficult process, hard to revoke. • Having it go to the mayor to initiate revocation is political. Put the authority in a less political agency such as the attorney's office. • Why not have the process be similar to other revocations? Where else in the City does there need to be a reliance on mayor to do something like this? Look at business license revocation process and possibly mimic it Not requiring a process for expansions of less than 1,000 square feet is not consistent with )nconforming regulations. 23 Changing from one conditional use to a different type of conditional use needs public input process. The whole nature of business is changing. , In some cases it may be ok to allow without process. In other cases it is not appropriate to not have a process. The underlying zoning can help provide density and intensity, but where allow incremental change of use, it intensifies the use without input. Impacts of smoking outdoors is an issue. Need to have indoor accommodations and separate ventilation. This would violate State Law. 24 SALT LAKE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING In Room 326 of the City & County Building 451 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah Wednesday, October 14, 2009 Present for the Planning Commission meeting were Chair Mary Woodhead Vice Chair Susie McHugh; Commissioners Michael Gallegos, Michael Fife, Frank Algarin, Tim Chambless, Babs De Lay, Kathleen Hill, and Matthew Wirthlin. Commissioners Prescott Muir and Angela Dean were excused. A field trip was held prior to the meeting. Planning Commissioners present were: Tim Chambless, Michael Gallegos, Matthew Wirthlin, Michael Fife, and Frank Algarin. Staff members present were: Wayne Mills, Ray Milliner, and Katia Pace A roll is being kept of all who attended the Planning Commission Meeting. Chair Woodhead called the meeting to order at 5:44 p.m. Audio recordings of the Planning Commission meetings are retained in the Planning Office for an indefinite period of time. Planning staff members present at the meeting were: Cheri Coffey, Programs Manager; Paul Nielson, City Attorney; Ray Milliner, Principal Planner, Katia Pace, Associate Planner, Wayne Mills, Senior Planner and Tami Hansen, Senior Secretary. 7:42:01 PM PLNPCM2009-00174; Conditional Use Chapter Amendments— a request by Mayor Ralph Becker for zoning text amendment approval to modify Chapter 21A.54, Conditional Uses, of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance. The purpose of the amendments is to bring the chapter into compliance with state Ash code, to clarify the intent of certain sections, and to revise the standards and factors necessary for conditional use approval. The proposed text amendments are city-wide. Chair Woodhead recognized Ray Milliner as staff representative. Chair Woodhead inquired about the detrimental concentration issue on page 4. She stated sometimes a particular use did not necessarily change the fabric of a neighborhood, unless there were too many of that same use. She stated that if one of those uses was declared non-permitted, would that make the rest of the uses in the neighborhood non-conforming. Mr. Milliner stated if there was a proliferation of one use in the area than it would need some type of review to figure out why there would be such a high demand of that use in the area, and recommendations would be made on that finding. The impacts of the use to the area could also be reviewed, maybe it was creating too much traffic or there was a compatibility issue. Chair Woodhead stated she understood the analytical problem, but it was clear that there might be a point where a lot of one kind of use changes the neighborhood, maybe in a detrimental way, so if that control is taken away then the City was not really recognizing that problem. Mr. Sommerkorn stated he wondered how many times that really happened. Commissioner De Lay stated a very specific example would be medical uses in a neighborhood, say there were already four and a fifth wanted to come in. Aso* 26 Chair Woodhead stated in that case a fifth might destroy the residential fabric of an area and people might not want to live there. Tommissioner De Lay stated she agreed with the changes Mr. Milliner had made; she inquired what the ZAP taskforce discussion was regarding this matter. Mr. Milliner stated there was not a lot of negative feedback regarding this. He stated most of the anxiety was about who would initiate a revocation application. Commissioner Wirthlin stated this new language was well written and would help the Planning Commission immensely when dealing with conditional uses. Commissioner Gallegos stated this language states community councils would be notified of public hearings in the future, and inquired the requirement was regarding that. Mr. Sommerkorn stated there was some confusion that had developed between the community council representatives and what was actually being proposed. He stated under the procedures for conditional uses, under application, it listed all of the things required to be submitted with the application, including a signed statement that the applicant had met with and explained the proposed conditional use to the appropriate neighborhood organization. He stated staff was striking that out of the new language because it seemed to imply that signed statement had to be part of the application, which meant the applicant would have to go to the community council first, and the City would not have any idea this was being proposed until after that process. He stated there was another section in the City code, which required all applicants to take changes to zoning ‘nd zoning ordinances and conditional use applications to the appropriate community council so this tquirement exists already, but in a less confusing manner via the City code. Commissioner Algarin stated the Commission was asking for this for a while and this language was a great response to that request. 8:01:13 PM Public Hearing Chair Woodhead opened the public hearing portion of the petition. The following people spoke or submitted cards in opposition to this petition: Judy Short (Sugar House Community Council, Land Use Chair) stated she was concerned regarding the way community councils seem to be eliminated from the zoning code, which meant most of the petitioners would not tell us about their plans. She stated that detrimental concentration was a vague concept, but if you lived in a neighborhood where this was a factor you see that problem with it all the time. She stated to eliminate because it was difficult to measure was not a good solution. The zoning table should be correct to start with and the option - of going back and continually changing it should not be relied on. Chair Woodhead closed the public hearing. 27 Amok 5.D.

She stated one way to go about this would be to require mitigation through the new proposed accessory welling unit ordinance, which would help mitigate the loss of housing. :ommissioner Fife stated the Commission should come up with the factors to consider and not necessarily a way to olve issues because it was going to be different in every case. He stated including language anticipating the effects f cigarette smoking would be appropriate, but the Commission should not be too specific. ;ommissioner Chambless agreed because this was a public health issue. 4r. Sommerkorn stated that was a good issue to look at, staff had also been involved in reviewing the alcohol ormalization that was going on, where the issue of smoking had come up there. He stated the Mayor's office had lso discussed dealing comprehensively with smoking in public areas in the City. He stated for the purpose of this etition tonight, raising the issue as something that needed to be reviewed in the future was a good idea. :hair De Lay stated it would not be a big deal to add a mention of this to factor 11: Environmental Impact. 4s. Cromer stated she was disappointed the modifications up to 1,000 square feet could be handled without any iublic process or notice. She stated 1,000 square feet could actually amount to doubling the footprint of some of the maller historic buildings. She suggested there should be notice to surrounding property owners and if there were any .bjections there should be a hearing. Expansion exceeding 25 percent of the square footage of the existing facility hould also trigger some kind of public hearing. -udi Short (862 Harrison Avenue) stated she wanted to defend the ZAP taskforce and say it was working. She stated here were comments regarding the concentration issues, and people were making comments about them, but [owhere did it say that the ZAP taskforce agreed to take out that language in the new ordinance. She stated notes vere taken at the ZAP meeting, and staff wrote the ordinance afterward and now it was before the Commission, she tated staff made it seem like the taskforce had seen this and approved it, but that never happened it was only liscussed in general. ✓Ir. Sommerkorn clarified the ZAP taskforce was not an approving body, it was an input body. He stated so while ;ertain topics might have been discussed at those meetings that was not necessarily the way they were coming brward to the Commission because the taskforce was only one means of input. He stated what the Commission sees n draft form may not reflect all of the different comments from ZAP. 713 14 I /,(/hllll; )! 1f;,. GIs. Chort stated she was still disappointed after this process there were still a lot conditional use approvals, she vo eally like to see some of those go away. She stated staff probably had a good inventory of parcels in the City hat were conditional uses. vIs. Coffey stated several years ago there was an attempt to look at that, but there was really not a system to find out vhat uses had gone away, what had come back into use etc. She stated it would be difficult to categorize the entire 'ity. :hair De Lay closed the public hearing. :hair De Lay inquired of Mr. Milliner to give his rationale on why the concentration criteria was left out. 4Ir. Milliner stated the rationale was on page 4 of the staff report, when the conditional use table was adopted it stated hat certain uses were compatible with certain zones, if a use was not compatible because for instance there were too nany of the uses in one area then it was not a conditional use factor issue, it was a zoning master plan issue. le stated currently there was not a good set of criteria to determine what actually constitutes detrimental impact. For :xample up by Immigration Market there was a significant impact from the parking in the neighborhood for the tomes that were closest to the market. However, if you talked to the neighbors in general most of them like having he market close by, so there was no criteria that would allow planning staff to determine a good or bad use for the e teighborhood, a separate process would need to be created. 4r. Sommerkorn stated under the state code with the change to the conditional use factors a couple of years ago, if a on final use was listed in the ordinance there was a presumption that it was valid and could be located in that one, only some impacts needed to be mitigated. He inquired how a limit could be put on types of uses if the uses vere allowed in a zone, it would be really tough to come up with the criteria for this. 4r. Milliner stated if he was to review a conditional use and this was one of the criteria, how would a detrimental npact be determined. He stated there was not a list of factors to determine it. ;ommissioner Muir stated this was already done with group homes for instance; there was some sort of assessment tat stated there could only be so many of these uses within a block, so there were ways to measure this. 4r. Sommerkorn stated look at this on the flip side and look at permitted uses, to many of a certain kind of a ermitted use may also be detrimental, but there was no way to put a restraint on that type of competition. ;ommissioner Woodhead inquired if there was a way to tie this to the master plan, for instance detrimental oncentration of uses which resulted in the neighborhood having a character that was inconsistent with the ...;quirements of the master plan. 4r. Milliner stated the second factor: Master Plan and Zoning Ordinance Compliance would cover that issue by llowing staff to review the compatibility of the master plan. 'hair De Lay inquired how Mr. Milliner felt about Ms. Cromer's suggestion regarding the modifications up to 1,000 quare feet. 4r. .liner stated he did not have a problem with that. 15 P/o/inw. ( 'owwriss/wr ;Vinrrlc \nr, nil),,/ l�'. 200'l Commissioner Fife suggested combining the ideas and saying either the lesser of 1,000 square feet or twenty-five ,25) percent of the existing gross square feet would need to be noticed. The Commission agreed to this change. Commissioner Woodhead stated factor 11: Environmental impact should include some language to look for some compliance with the City's sustainability ordinances, if there was a way to broadly tie it to those goals, rather than just saying does it affect air and water etc., which seemed like a slim perspective when the City had bigger sustainability goals. Ms. Coffey stated at this point the sustainability goals had not been adopted; the City was looking at doing a plan. She inquired if the environmental aspect would also include the cigarette smoke issue. 8:46:22 PM Motion Commissioner Fife made a motion regarding Petition PLNPCM2009-00174; Amendments to Chapter 21A.54: Conditional Use, based on the staff report and public hearing, the Planning Commission forwards a positive recommendation to the City Council to approve these amendments with the following changes: Factors to consider number 11: Environmental impact should read, whether the use meets any existing City sustainability goals or plans, or significantly impacts the quality of the surrounding air and water, encroaches into a river or stream, or introduces any hazards or environmental damage to any adjacent property including any significant anticipated impacts of cigarette smoking. And 21A.54.135: Alterations or Modifications to a Conditional Use on page 17 of the staff report should be changed to read, Any modifications or legally non-conforming land use fisted as a conditional use under current zoning regulations is first required to obtain conditional use approve subject to the provisions of this chapter if the floor area increases by the lesser of 1,000 gross square feet or a twenty-five (25)percent increase in the existing gross square feet or the parking requirement increases. Commissioner Algarin seconded the motion. Discussion of the Motion Commissioner Woodhead stated she was interested about how Commissioners felt about the concentration issue; she stated she was conflicted about it. If it was said the response to that is to change it to a prohibited use, than that would require a fairly long process to go through and maybe that would solve the problem. Commissioner Muir inquired what the implications would be if the zone was changed and created all these non- conforming uses, because essentially that was what was happening. Mr. Milliner stated when a zone was changed and non-conforming uses were created, that was like saying we no longer want this use here, so eventually this change would make it go away. Commissioner Dean stated the Commission had talked about wanting to mix a residential element in, so if those zones were changed to a mixed-use with the same baseline zone, it would prevent zones from changing back and forth, or maybe just having some type of living unit associated with the zone would help that type of mixed-use r,resence. 16 l'lcnmi��� C'omiiii ion 1Liiiii, Ao��nih��� l�5' 'ON De Lay stated currently it was impossible to get a loan on something like that because the City did not allow a rE .nce in a building that had more than 25 percent businesses in it. She stated this would be a great idea in the future for more mixed-use areas, but right now it was not practical. Commissioner Fife inquired about the spacing element that seemed to work for some uses. Mr. Milliner stated that would be separate from the conditional use as well, it would be adopted in the ordinance. Chair De Lay inquired if it was really appropriate to figure this issue out at this-hearing or would it be a completely separate issue the Commission should address in the future given this was a problem in the City. Mr. Sommerkorn stated the way this was written in the ordinance now was a problem, it was hard to administer. He stated there were also some potential legal issues with it, but this might be a valid issue to look at and deal with in a different way. Commissioner Woodhead stated the idea of putting this in the master plan made a lot of sense. Ms. Coffey stated next year the ZAP taskforce would be going through the use tables and reviewing the definitions of all the uses, and then figuring out what zones those uses should be allowed in, both permitted and conditional. She stated maybe at that time the Planning Commission could figure out what uses were appropriate in what area, as well as deciding on spacing issues. Commissioners Gallegos, Fife, Dean, Muir, Chambless, Woodhead, and Algarin voted, "Aye". The motion pa unanimously.

Thanks to her I got more time to explain that - attached suggestions. And probably thanks to her, the PC members actually considered the suggestions. They agreed to -specific language about the adverse impacts of cigarette smoking and -a hybrid threshhold for expansions (the lessor of 25% of sq. footage OR 1000 sq. ft.). We lost the "concentration" criterion that was added in 2008 as a result of complaints from neighborhoods in ECCC that there were too many condtional uses concentrated on one area. The staff insists that it is too difficult to evaluate and defend from a legal standpoint. PC members did discuss this at some length and Mary Woodhead especially expressed her concern. The members agreed that the criterion for compliance with the master plan would have to be used to address concentration. The amendments are now headed for the City Council. My recommendations are to -insist that nearby property owners be notified regarding ANY expansion of a conditonal use (At this point, the Planning Director can handle ones below the threshhold administratively without any notice.) -ask the City Council to strengthen the language in the criterion regarding compliance with the Master Plan to better address the overabundance of conditional uses in an area.

LUDMA is an entitlement for conditional uses, and once you get into entitlements you affect people's motivation to be a good neighbor. You cannot create conditions that insure someone will be a good neighbor. Furthermore, I can't tell you what mitigating conditions you would need to impose until it is too late to impose them. My recent experience with a large group home next door has taught me that. I think the direction you are taking with Planned Unit Developments is excellent. Removing them from the conditional use process altogether is brilliant. Call them something else and LUDMA won't apply. Meanwhile, we seem to be clinging to the philosophy of conditional uses. Instead I think we should have allowed uses and uses that are covered somewhere else in the ordinance, outside of the conditional use chapter. Comments on particular aspects of the proposal 1. Factors to Consider The unanticipated consequence in my recent experience is the huge number of smokers associated with the group home. I would urge you to specifically mention cigarette smoking as an environmental impact. Where there are many smokers and the schedule • encourages them to smoke at the same time, the result is a toxic cloud that drifts over adjacent property. The mitigation would be to have an indoor smoking area with a separate HVAC. 2. Factors to Consider I am disappointed that the staff is recommending the removal of the "concentration"criteria. While it is admittedly difficult to administer, the clustering of conditional uses such a addiction treatment programs and lawyers' offices cannot be mitigated by addressing , the impacts of each one. At some point, the area is not longer consistent with the purpose r statement of a residential zone. As residents have said to the Commission many times, "no one is home." The staff may not be able to determine the threshhold for when a detrimental concentration occurs, but people trying to live there can. Regarding the argument that policy makers could make changes if too great a concentration occurs: Yes, they could, but the conditional uses already approved would continue indefinitely. And policy makers do not act until "the horse is out of the barn." 3. Alterations or Modifications Again, I am disappointed that modifications up to 1000 sq. ft. could occur administratively WITHOUT ANY PUBLIC NOTICE OR PUBLIC PROCESS. There is NO indication that impacts will be the same following such an unpublicized expansion. Certainly, the people in the surrounding neighborhood, not the Planning Director, are the most qualified to comment on what the impacts of an expanded facility might be. In the older parts of the City, many buildings are relatively small and a 1000 sq. ft. expansion might easily represent a doubling of the square footage. No expansion should occur without notice to the surrounding property owners. The notification radius should be a minimum of 330 linear feet because of landbanking. It would make more sense to set the threshhold for a public hearing as 1) objection from one or more of the surrounding property owners or 2) a request for an expansion exceeding 25% of the existing facility. ALL EXPANSIONS SHOULD BE REQUIRE NOTIFICATION OF SURROUNDING PROPERTY OWNERS. ;n y, \\ % yL, _:,,� Memorandum to � e Community&Economic Development Office of the Director To: File 01C-- From: Cheri Coffey, Planning Manager Date: August 6, 2009 Re: PLNPCM2009-00174. 2009 ZAP Project- Revisions to the Conditional Use Chapter regulations This project is part of the overall 2009 Zoning Amendment Project (ZAP). The project specifically relates to modifications Chapter 21A.54 relating to Conditional Uses. Scope of the Project generally includes Refine the general conditional use approval standards/criteria. Applicability of Conditional use approvals. Determine whether or not an approval of a conditional use should be linked to the person applying or to the property on which it will be located (i.e. 'Run with the land") Response: State Law does not specifically state that a conditional use approval runs with the land. However, it is usually assumed that this is the case. Whether it should be tied to the applicant or the land is a policy decision. If the decision makers decide that a conditional use approval should be tied to the applicant, the text of the ordinance should be specific to that effect and should also be specific as to what triggers the expiration of the conditional use approval. Most jurisdictions in Utah have the conditional use approval tied to the land. The benefits of having the approval tied to the applicant is that it ensures that any new property owner will be notified of the conditions of the approval and it will give the City the opportunity to review the proposed operation of the use by the new owner to mitigate any potential impacts. 1 The drawbacks of having the approval tied to the applicant is that it makes it more difficult for a business owner (if that is the use) sell his/ her business to a new owner and creates more conditional use applications which require more staff resources when there may be no issues. A compromise may be to create an administrative review process to determine whether the new use really is the same as the approved conditional use. This would allow the City the opportunity to review the application, notify the new property owner of the conditions of approval yet not require a long public hearing process that could delay the approval. PC Direction: The Planning Commission was concerned mostly with this issue. They were concerned that if the conditional use was attached to the applicant rather than the land it would have an impact in investment (especially where new construction was concerned) and reinvestment. They noted that a conditional use that is attached to an applicant would decrease the property value of the use and affect how much a property was worth if it were sold when the existing use was not guaranteed for the next owner. They requested staff further study this issue. They stated that a list of conditional uses that run with the land and a list of conditional uses that have to be reapplied for when the owner changes, may be one way to address the issue. Converting conditional use to a similar use. Should conditional uses be able to be changed wok from one specific use to another? Response: Staff does not recommend that this should occur. It is difficult to assume that impacts from a different type of use were anticipated with the original conditional use approval. Staff recommends that any change of use of a conditional use should go through a review process for approval. If a modified conditional use process were created to handle these types of issues (change of owner and change of use) it may help streamline the process for the applicant yet provide a review mechanism to ensure impacts are mitigated. Cumulative Impact. Determine how the accumulation of conditional uses in residential and neighborhood commercial zones should be handled. For example, consider limiting certain types of uses to a specific number of establishments within a specific area. Should a restaurant be allowed on each of the four corners at an intersection in a neighborhood commercial zone. Response: The Cumulative Adverse Impact has been a standard for Conditional Uses in the Zoning Ordinance prior to the adoption of the New Ordinance in 1995. It is a problematic standard. Traditionally, conditional uses have been viewed as Auk • Page 2 similar to permitted uses (i.e. appropriate in the zone) but something about the use is problematic. Conditions then are imposed to address the problem. In practice, each conditional use is analyzed on its own merits, and where warranted, conditions are placed on the approvals to ensure adverse impacts are mitigated. Therefore, in theory, there should not be a cumulative adverse impact from conditional uses. For example, if each request is reviewed based on its merits, would the City look at denying a conditional use for a Place of Worship, a conditional use in residential zones, simply on the basis that there were already several Places of Worship in the vicinity? Furthermore, the review of similar conditional uses and non-conforming uses within the mile radius that staff has been conducting since January 2008, have shown that this does not occur very often. In addition, since legal non-conforming uses have specific protected property rights and are not conditional uses, it is problematic to include the location of these in the analysis of whether a conditional use should be allowed in a specific area. Staff is of the opinion that the cumulative adverse impact standard should be eliminated. Staff reviewed the conditional use standards of many of the larger cities in Utah and has found that they do not include the cumulative adverse impact. In addition, most rely on the General Health, Safety and Welfare standard as their main standard in reviewing conditional use requests and include what categories the conditions of approval should focus on (i.e. traffic, noise, odors, etc). The Planning Staff is of the opinion that the conditional use standards should be modified to include this approach. Staff is of the opinion that the types of impacts that are generally associated with a specific type of conditional use should be identified and standards that focus on mitigating those specific issues should be included in the ordinance for those uses. An example may be to ensure that drive through windows are only allowed, where they access an arterial street or restaurants are only allowed where they are on a minimum size of lot, etc. Where a certain type of conditional use may encourage a large share of vehicular traffic (such as a drive-through window), it may be appropriate to not allow the use, even as a conditional use, in a specific zoning district (an example would be to eliminate drive-through windows as a conditional or permitted use in the mixed use and lower intensive commercial zoning districts.) Spacing requirements may be used for conditional uses, but that would more likely discourage small business, encourage rezoning requests and dilute the non- residential nodes by spreading out the uses and services, which in turn decreases the walkable nature of neighborhoods the City is trying to encourage. Lastly, the continuation of non-conforming uses and the ability to obtain approval for conditional uses may help implement sustainability goals through the reuse of existing structures, in residential areas. • Page 3 ( ) Remarks: Petition No: PLNPCM2009-00174 By: Salt Lake City Planning Division Amendment to Zoning Ordinance — Conditional Use Chapter Regulations Date Filed: 08/06/2009 Address: Citywide MEMORANDUM DATE: December 8, 2011 TO: City Council FROM: Neil Lindberg RE: Proposed amendments to the Salt Lake City Code demolition regulations Chapter 18.64 - Demolition Chapter 18.97 - Mitigation of Residential Housing Loss The following information was provided previously to the Council in a memo from the Council Planning Subcommittee, Janice Jardine and Nick Tarbet. The attached ordinance has been updated to reflect amendments adopted as part of the Salt Lake City Consolidated Fee Schedule ordinance and to delete references to the National Historic Preservation program to avoid potential conflicts. During the Council's discussion of this item on November 5,the Council asked that the Planning subcommittee develop a draft purpose statement for further discussion with the full Council. (Please see draft statement below.) The Council indicated that after review of the purpose statement the draft ordinance would be distributed to the Administration and the public for review and comment. Council Members emphasized that this draft ordinance is not a completed product, but is intended to generate conversation and recommendations. A summary of comments received as of November 25 are attached at the end of this memo. Demolition Ordinance Purpose Statement Purpose and Intent A. The purpose of the provisions in this Chapter is to: 1. Promote the public welfare by maintaining the integrity and continuity of the urban fabric and economic vitality; 2. Provide an orderly and predictable process for demolition of buildings and structures; 3. Ensure demolition occurs safely; 4. Protect utilities and other infrastructure from damage during demolition; 5. Provide for enforcement of timely completion of demolition and for improvement of property following demolition to ensure the site is not detrimental to the use and enjoyment of surrounding property; 6. Provide for enforcement and maintenance of property to avoid purposeful demolition by neglect; and 7. Encourage preservation of the City's housing stock. B. A primary intent of the City Council with respect to this Chapter is to avoid demolition, or partial demolition, of buildings in a manner that disrupts the character and development pattern 1 of established neighborhood and business areas. Accordingly, the Council finds that it is in the public interest to: 1. Require existing buildings to be maintained in a habitable condition until replaced by new construction; 2. Avoid demolition of existing structures until a building permit is issued for new construction; and 3. Avoid creation of vacant demolition sites with minimal or no landscaping or other improvements. The following information was provided previously for the Council Work Session on November 5, 2009. It is provided again for background purposes. Over the past several years Council Members have expressed a number of frustrations about the demolition ordinance. Different Council Members have been interested in different aspects of the ordinance. This draft ordinance brings the issue to the table for discussion. The proposed changes are intended to address situations where existing structures have been demolished as part of anticipated new construction but, in some cases, construction is delayed and the site is allowed to sit vacant with minimal or no landscaping. This can disrupt existing development patterns of an area or negatively impact the character of an established neighborhood. Issues that have come up in the past include: 1. Should the City allow buildings to be torn down before the developer has presented re-use plans to the City? 2. Is it good policy to allow landscaping in lieu of a re-use plan? 3. Is it good policy to allow parking lots as an interim re-use plan? 4. If the City determines that landscaping plans are appropriate: a. Are they required in every circumstance? b. What extent of landscaping is required? c. What happens if the property owner takes down a building and doesn't landscape? d. When are performance bonds required, and are the bond amounts adequate for the City to go in and perform the work? 5. Should the City require a mitigation payment for the loss of housing? a. Is the current payment adequate to discourage the demolition of housing? b. Should the mitigation be limited to residential zones? 6. Should housing units in National Historic Districts be subject to the same regulations as housing units located in local Historic Districts? 7. How can the City address situations where neighbors and the community council are supportive of removing a structure they consider a blight on the area or an attractive nuisance when City regulations require a waiting period? 8. How does the City avoid inadvertently creating an incentive for property owners to allow their properties to deteriorate in order to increase the likelihood that their property will be approved for demolition? 2 :wvrsrrrr�rr rwrrr� �rrrrrrrrl ram. 9. How does the City avoid inadvertently creating a disincentive for property owners who would like to redevelop their properties in a manner supported by the City's adopted land use plans and zoning and need to demolish structures prior to submitting a full set of building plans for City approval? 10. How far can the City go with its regulatory authority without inappropriately infringing on the rights of property owners? The following is a brief summary of key items from the proposed draft ordinance relating to amendments to the City's demolition and housing mitigation regulations. They are provided here to assist in the Council's discussion on November 5. A copy of the draft ordinance in revision format is provided at the end of this memorandum. (Please note-All changes in the draft are not listed here.) The intent is to receive feedback from the Council and identify steps to move this item forward for further action. Additional items may be identified and discussed by Council Members. Administrative staff has indicated concern with some of the proposed changes and will be prepared to discuss their issues with the Council.

Item A- 7 Please refer to Item A- 14 from 12/06/2011 MEMORANDUM lif DATE: December 8,2011 TO: City Council Members FROM: Russell Weeks RE: Proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments Pertaining to Billboards and Electric Signs CC: Cindy Gust-Jenson,David Everitt,Ed Rutan,Frank Gray,Neil Lindberg,Lynn Pace,Paul Nielsen, Mary De La Mare-Schaefer,Wilf Sommerkom,Jennifer Bruno,Cherie Coffee,Doug Dansie,Nick Norris,Janice Jardine,Nick Tarbet This memorandum pertains to proposed amendments to the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance (Title 21 A)pertaining to the regulation of billboards and electronic signs.The proposed amendments are the result of two petitions initiated by Mayor Ralph Becker in 2010. The City Council is scheduled to hear a briefing from Mayor Becker's Administration about the proposed amendments at the Council's work session December 13.The work session is scheduled to start at 3 p.m.or immediately after the City Council adjourns its meeting as the Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors.The work session will be held in Room 326 of the City&County Building, 451 South State Street.The Council also is scheduled to set a January 3,2012,date for a public hearing on the proposed amendments.Generally,the City Council sets dates for public hearings when it adopts the Consent Agenda portion of the Council's formal meeting agenda. One reason for a January 3 public hearing on the proposed amendments is Ordinance No.17 of 2011 that the City Council adopted April 12,2011,contains a section regulating electronic billboards that will go into effect on January 13,2012.The proposed amendments would replace Ordinance No.17.The Council adopted the ordinance April 12,2011,in part to"preserve status quo regarding electronic billboards and signs"while the proposed amendments worked their way through City processes.The processes included receiving recommendations from the Salt Lake City Planning Commission.According to a Planning Commission staff report,if no provisions regulating electronic billboards are adopted,it would leave the door open to convert existing,"static"billboards to electronic billboards"by not providing any prohibition against their conversion or providing any standards to do so."'Ordinance No. 17 prohibits the"construction or reconstruction"of electronic billboards or the"conversion,remodeling, or rehabilitation of any existing billboard to an electronic format.."Z But the section pertaining to electronic billboards established only standards electronic billboards would have to meet.The proposed amendments would change some of those standards and would regulate their conversion. Three maps taken from a May 25,2011,PowerPoint presentation to the Planning Commission are attached to this memorandum to provide visual help for readers. KEY POINTS o The stated purpose of the proposed amendments to City Code section 21 A.46.160 titled Billboards is"to limit and reduce the maximum number of billboards in Salt Lake City." 1 The stated purpose in the current ordinance is"to limit the maximum number of billboards...to no greater than the current number."3 o The Salt Lake City Community&Economic Development Department estimates there are about 145 billboards in the city.Six of the billboards are electronic billboards.There are about 90 electronic signs throughout the city.If the City Council adopted the proposed amendments,all electronic signs currently in use would be unaffected by the amendments. o The core of the proposed amendments involves allowing billboards to be located in a greater geographical area where manufacturing and general commercial activity takes • place—if the companies that own them take down other billboards in other areas, particularly residential areas. o The proposed amendments would allow electronic signs and billboards to have varying sizes and varying times an electronic message may be displayed depending on where the signs and billboards are located.The amendments also would allow an electronic billboard to be"fully integrated into the architecture of a building." o The proposed amendments would prohibit motion on electronic signs;prohibit electronic signs from being located on roofs;prohibit electronic signs in Historic Districts or on Historic Landmark structures unless the Historic Landmark Commission authorizes the signs and would prohibit temporary embellishments on all billboards. o A basis for the proposed amendments is the Utah-Federal Agreement originally made in 1968 between the then-Governor Calvin L.Rampton and the Lyndon Johnson Administration.The agreement is part of the Utah Administrative Code.The Legislature ratified the agreement,and it has remained in effect since then.A pertinent provision of the agreement reads:"Nothing contained herein shall be construed to abrogate or prohibit a municipality from exercising a greater degree of control of outdoor advertising than that required or contemplated in the Act or from adopting standards which are more restrictive in controlling outdoor advertising than the provisions of this Agreement.i4 OPTIONS • Adopt the proposed ordinance. • Do not adopt the proposed ordinance. • Amend the proposed ordinance. 001 POTENTIAL MOTIONS Council staff will prepare potential motions after the City Council briefing by Mayor Becker's Administration. ISSUES/QUESTIONS FOR CONSIDERATION o Since at least the 1988 Regional/Urban Design Assistance Team study of downtown Salt Lake City it generally has been City policy to protect view corridors.Is that policy still valid,and,if so, what effect would the proposed amendments pertaining to billboards,electronic billboards,and electronic signs have on the policy? 2 o The proposed amendments would make general commercial and manufacturing areas available for the potential placement of billboards,what reaction,if any,has the Administration received from the outdoor advertising industry? o The proposed amendments would eliminate temporary embellishments,such as three-dimensional animals or people,from billboards.Are there any billboards in Salt Lake City that now have temporary embellishments,and why is the elimination of them proposed? o A subsection of Utah Code Section 72-7-505 which regulates signs,their spacing and their location in an outdoor advertising corridor says Subsection(3Xc)(ii),referenced later in this memorandum"may not be implemented until: (a)the Utah-Federal Agreement for carrying out national policy relative to control of outdoor advertising in areas adjacent to the national system of interstate and defense highways and the federal-aid primary system is modified to allow the sign placement specified in Subsection(3)(cXii);and (b)the modified agreement under Subsection(4Xa)is signed on behalf of both the state and the United States Secretary of Transportation."Has the Utah-Federal Agreement been modified? BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION As indicated earlier in this memorandum,the proposed amendments are the result of two petitions initiated by Mayor Ralph Becker.The petitions address issues stemming from current ordinances regulating billboards and electronic signs. The current ordinance does not regulate electronic billboards and does not conform to state laws in some parts. r The current billboard ordinance was adopted in 1993 but Utah law regulating billboards has changed since then.The current ordinance also was based on capping the overall number of billboards and allowing companies to move those billboards to locations away from residential and historical areas.' There are about 145 billboards in Salt Lake City.Six of the billboards are electronic.Electronic billboards are an emerging format for the billboard industry.6 A Planning Commission staff report indicates there are numerous instances in Salt Lake City "where the presence of billboards suppresses the redevelopment potential of the underlying land.''Six billboards are located on property zoned for residential use.Companies involved in the billboard business own the properties on which four of the billboards are located.' Again,the City Council on April 12,2011,adopted an ordinance to prohibit the"construction or reconstruction"of electronic billboards or the"conversion,remodeling,or rehabilitation of any existing billboard to an electronic format"to"preserve status quo regarding electronic billboards and signs"while the amendments scheduled for the December 13,2011,briefing worked their way through City processes. While the core of the proposed amendments involves relocating or converting standard billboards to electronic billboards,the amendments are informed by three things:the Utah-Federal Agreement,Utah Law,and other proposed amendments,including enacting a new section in the Zoning Ordinance to regulate electronic signs. UTAH-FEDERAL AGREEMENT AND UTAH LAW As indicated,the Utah-Federal Agreement became part of the Utah Administrative Code(R933-5)after the Legislature ratified it.The agreement applies to"All zoned and un-zoned commercial and industrial areas 3 within 660 feet of the nearest edge of the right-of-way of all portions of the interstate and primary systems within the State of Utah in which outdoor advertising signs, displays and devices may be visible from the main-traveled way ..." The agreement sets the size and spacing of outdoor advertising signs along freeways and other highways that make up the national highway system. Utah law(72-7-505), which regulates signs within an outdoor advertising corridor follows the sign-size requirements in the Agreement and generally follows the location and spacing restrictions. However,the law also says in subsection 3-c-ii: A sign may be placed closer than 500 feet from the nearest point of the beginning or ending of pavement widening at the exit from or entrance to the main-traveled way, if: (A)the sign is replacing an existing outdoor advertising use or structure which is being removed or displaced to accommodate the widening,construction,or reconstruction of an interstate, federal aid primary highway existing as of June 1, 1991,or national highway system highway;and (B)it is located in a commercial or industrial zoned area inside an urbanized county or an incorporated municipality. The section appears to be section the City would follow if the proposed amendments to the billboard and electronic sign ordinances are not adopted. PROPOSED ELECTRONIC SIGN AMENDMENTS Regulations pertaining to electronic signs are contained in amendments to City Code section 21A.46.070.M and proposed section 21A.46.070.X. The regulations retain or contain language similar to Ordinance No. 17 of 2011 that the City Council adopted April 12,2011, in the following items: o Motion of any kind is prohibited on any electronic sign face or electronic billboard. o All electronic signs and billboards would be equipped with an automatic dimmer control or other mechanism that automatically controls a sign's brightness and times when an electronic sign may be switched on or off. The proposed amendments differ from the Ordinance No. 17 in the following ways: o Electronic signs would be prohibited on building roofs and in areas designated as Historic Districts or on buildings designated as Historic Landmark structures by the Historic Landmark Commission. o The proposed amendments would continue to prohibit the lighting or illumination between midnight and 6 a.m. However, the amendments would extend the prohibition only to signs located within 600 feet of a residential zoning district, "unless the business on the site is actually open for business during those hours."Ordinance No. 17 prohibited lighting or illuminating signs between midnight and 6 a.m. for signs located"in or within" 600 feet of a"residential, mixed-use, downtown, Sugar House Business District, gateway,Neighborhood Commercial, Community Business, or Community Shopping Center zoning district." o The proposed amendments would change the dwell time—the length of time that elapses between text, images, or graphics on an electronic sign—from no more than once every 24 hours to allowing signs to change based on the size of an electronic sign and its location. The proposed amendments would limit changes to the following: 4 • Signs larger than 250 square feet or located on a freeway would not change more than once every eight seconds. • Signs between 100 square feet and 250 square feet would not change more than once every five seconds • Signs less than 100 square feet in size would not change more than once every three seconds. • (It should be noted that Utah law regulating billboards within an outdoor advertising corridor allows a"changeable message sign...if the interval between message changes are not more frequent than at least eight seconds,and the actual message rotation process is accomplished in three seconds or less.")9 o For electronic signs the maximum portion of signs allowed to convey electronic messages would be: • Sixty percent of the sign face in Commercial Shopping and Commercial Corridor zoning districts. • Eighty percent of the sign face in the Downtown and Gateway districts. • One hundred percent of the sign face in Airport(A),Manufacturing(M)and General Commercial(CG)zoning districts. • Forty percent of the total sign face in all other zoning districts. • Electronic billboards as defined in the proposed amendments are allowed one hundred percent of the sign face to be electronic in zoning districts where electronic billboards are permitted. PROPOSED REVISIONS TO BILLBOARD ORDINANCE As mentioned earlier in this memorandum the stated purpose of the proposed revisions to the ordinance regulating billboards is"to limit and reduce the maximum number of billboards in Salt Lake City."The apparent mechanism to achieve the purpose is to allow billboards to be located in a greater geographical area where manufacturing and general commercial activity takes place—if the companies that own the billboards take down other billboards in other areas,particularly residential areas. The rest of the purpose statement says,"This chapter further provides reasonable processes and methods for the replacement or relocation of existing nonconforming billboards to areas of the city where they will have less negative impact on the goals and policies of the city which promote the enhancement of the city's gateways, views,vistas and related urban design elements of the city's master plans." According to a May 25,2011,presentation to the Planning Commission,one criticism of the current ordinance is the area where billboards are allowed in Salt Lake City is too small.1°The proposal appears to substantially increase the area where billboards could be located.It appears to increase areas west of Interstate 215,and where billboards already are located on both sides of Interstate 15 between roughly 1000 South and 2100 iSouth streets." Under the proposed amendments,new billboards,including any increase in square footage,or additions of another(sign)face would be prohibited.The current ordinance limits the number of billboards in Salt Lake City to the existing amount. The proposed amendments would allow existing billboards to be relocated in three ways.They can be relocated as permitted by Utah law,if the relocation is consistent with the Utah-Federal Agreement.Billboards also could be relocated from"any zoning district"to Manufacturing and General Commercial zoning districts—if 5 the billboards are not oriented toward or located within 600 feet of a residential zoning district, a gateway street or a Granary District Exclusion Area—an area the amendments also propose to create. ' The third way billboards could be relocated is to be converted into an electronic billboard. The standard for relocating and converting a billboard to an electronic one would be different in different zoning districts.In Downtown and Gateway districts and along a Special Gateway Street a billboard located in those areas could be relocated within the same zoning district and converted to an electronic billboard if"an equivalent number of square footage is removed elsewhere in the City from any Gateway Street, residential zoning district or Neighborhood Commercial(CN)zoning district or Business Commercial (CB)zoning district ... and is fully integrated into the architecture of a building." Billboards located in a residential or Neighborhood Commercial(CN)or Business Commercial(CB) zoning district or any Gateway street could be converted to an electronic billboard if it was relocated to an electronic billboard "on a one-square-foot per one-square-foot basis." 161 In addition, billboards already located in General Commercial and Manufacturing zoning districts could be converted to electronic billboards—if—they are not located within 600 feet of any Gateway street or within the Granary District Exclusion Area, and if"an amount of billboard square footage equivalent to the size of the billboard being converted is removed elsewhere in the City ..." Similarly, billboards located on freeway corridors may be converted to electronic billboards if they are located within a General Commercial or Manufacturing zoning district and are not within the Granary District Exclusion Area and an equivalent amount of square footage is ... removed from a City Entry Streets, Boulevard Street,residential zoning district,Neighborhood Commercial zoning district or Business Commercial zoning district. 4 GEOGRAPHIC TERMS Here are the definitions of boulevards,city entries,freeways, gateways,Granary District exclusion area, and special gateways: BOULEVARD: the following streets are designated Boulevards for billboard regulation purposes: 1.5600 West; • 2.2100 South Street/Parleys Way from Interstate 15 to Foothill Boulevard; • 3.Foothill Drive/400-500 South from 1000 East to Interstate 80; • 4.400 South from Redwood Road to 1000 East(excluding Special Gateway); 5.300 West from 900 North to 900 South; 6.North Temple from State Street to Interstate 80(excluding Special Gateway); 7.State Street from North Temple to 2100 South Street(excluding Special Gateway); 8.Main Street from South Temple to 2100 South(excluding Special Gateway); 9.7200 West; 10. 500 South from 300 West to 700 East; 11. 600 South from 200 West to 700 East; • 12. 700 East; 13. 1300 South/California from Redwood Road to its eastern terminus.

The written minutes of a September 28,2011,public hearing on the proposed amendments indicated that the following 16 people spoke in opposition to the amendments:J.Michael Place,Western Nut Company;Robert 7 Tingey,General Council Energy Solutions Arena;Jared Johnson,Young Electric Sign Company;Tye Dato, Daktronics Inc;Jeff Young,Young Electric Sign Company;Paul Young,Young Electric Sign Company, Morgan Philpot,legal counsel,Reagan Signs;Dee Park,Jeff Krantz,Robert McIntyre,Kyle Deans,Tyler Steenblik,and Michael Wardle. The minutes reported the following points made by speakers: • o Hold times of 8 seconds will significantly reduce our ability to communicate meaningful messages to our customers. o The message travel feature of signs is essential to conveying messages. o Advertising is an essential part of business success and cannot afford to substitute other means of communication in order to convey our full message and attract business. o Requiring that signs be turned off at night is unacceptable. o Sales prove the value of electronic signage.Any ordinance change that would diminish the effectiveness of our electronic sign would have a significant dilatory effect on our business,eve potentially to the extent of forcing us to close our doors. o If a sign is small,and the words necessary to convey the message would not fit on the sign,it would require a purchase of a new,and larger sign in order to comply with the 8 second hold,this is not an acceptable requirement. o Annual reporting and brightness testing is absurd.It is expensive and unfair to small businesses. o The signs are not a safety issue,and no accidents have been attributed to many of the signs in question. o Signs were purchased with the intent and ability to use full animation. o A change to static images and hold times of 8 seconds will reduce the sign's value significantly. o This change would damage our ability to advertise our products and services as a business. o It would dramatically impact what and how we communicate to our customers,a free speech issue. o It would tend to weaken advertising impact,requiring additional investment in other advertising ` media o We reach hundreds/thousands of customers as we advertise overnight o Invested expense in current programming would be rendered obsolete o We have not seen any increase in accidents due to the sign at our place of business. o We have customers making positive comments about our sign all the time;they don't have a problem with it. o The messages we want to communicate won't fit on our current sign unless we"travel"the message and/or change the text quickly. o If the words we want to use won't fit our sign,it could necessitate the purchase of a larger sign. o Expensive reprogramming would be required. o Annual reporting and brightness testing is an added expense we cannot afford to do. o Constant"steady burn"of diodes will shorten their useful life. o Steady burning of the LEDs would accelerate the need to repair the sign. o Steady burning of the LEDs would accelerate the need to replace the sign in the future. o It would damage our ability to use the sign in the way it was initially purchased. o It would damage our ability to use the sign as it has been operated since it was installed. o Converting to digital signs will be difficult. o The map needs clarification. The Administration transmittal also contains a version of the proposed amendments with revisions submitted September 28,2011,submitted by Young Electric Sign Company. The proposed revisions include the following regulation for electronic billboards: 8 "Electronic Billboard faces shall be subject to the following operational criteria: o All messages shall remain static and shall not have the appearance of animation or movement. o All messages shall remain static for at least eight seconds. o The transition from one message to another message shall take place instantaneously." The proposed revisions also appear to include omission of any reference to the Utah-Federal Agreement and the 600-foot distance restrictions from Gateway Street and residential areas. The third attached map shows the Administration's depiction of suggestions by the outdoor advertising industry's on locations where billboards could be placed. • Planning Commission staff report,Off-Premise Advertising,Doug Dansie,February 23,2011,Page 5. 2 Salt Lake City Code,Section 21 A.46.I60,Paragraph U.

The Mayor has also initiated a petition to update O current regulations for outdoor billboards to make them consistent with State law Analysis: In October 2010,Mayor Becker initiated a petition for the purpose of amending the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance to address the conversion of traditional billboards to an electronic format. The City Council adopted an ordinance in May 2011,prohibiting electronic billboards. The Council requested that the Administration revisit the issue as part of the consideration of the second petition,also initiated by May Becker in October 2010,to update current regulations for outdoor billboards to make them consistent with State law The draft forwarded by the Planning Commission differs from the existing ordinance in the following ways: 1. The billboard bank has been eliminated:changes in state law have made it generally irrelevant. 2. The geographic area where billboards are allowed to move according to City law,in addition to State law,has been increased to include most manufacturing and general commercial areas. 3. Billboards will be allowed to move and convert to electronic on a one-for-one square foot basis if they are moving from residential areas to manufacturing areas or general commercial areas. 4. Billboards may be converted to electronic on freeways,special gateways(main Street State Street North Temple and 400 South)and in the Downtown area;if they remove square footage from elsewhere in the city on a two-for-one basis O 5. The ordinance sets dwell times and twirl times for all electronic signs;on or off premise: Signs are defined by size. • All electronic signs larger than 250 square feet and/or located on freeways are limited to the 8 second dwell time standard. • Electronic Signs between 100 and 250 square feet may have a 5 second dwell time. • Electronic Signs smaller than 100 square feet may have a 3 second dwell time. • The twirl time for all electronic signs is limited to a maximum of 0.25 seconds. 6. The proposed regulation would require electronic signs to be turned-off between 12:00 a.m.and 6:00 a.m.when located within 600 feet of residentially zoned property. 7.

Eo a.aEw of existing billboards to an electronic format. The Mayor has also initiated a petition to update current regulations for outdoor billboards to make them consistent with State law Analysis: In October 2010, Mayor Becker initiated a petition for the purpose of amending the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance to address the conversion of traditional billboards to an electronic format. The City Council adopted an ordinance in May 2011, prohibiting electronic billboards. The Council requested that the Administration revisit the issue as part of the consideration of the second petition, also initiated by May Becker in October 2010, to update current regulations for outdoor billboards to make them consistent with State law The draft forwarded by the Planning Commission differs from the existing ordinance in the following ways: 1. The billboard bank has been eliminated: changes in state law have made it generally irrelevant. 2. The geographic area where billboards are allowed to move according to City law, in addition to State law, has been increased to include most manufacturing and general commercial areas. 3. Billboards will be allowed to move and convert to electronic on a one-for-one square foot basis if they are moving from residential areas to manufacturing areas or general commercial areas. 4. Billboards may be converted to electronic on freeways, special gateways(main Street State Street North Temple and 400 South)and in the Downtown area; if they remove square footage from oft elsewhere in the city on a two-for-one basis 5. The ordinance sets dwell times and twirl times for all electronic signs; on or off premise: Signs are defined by size. • All electronic signs larger than 250 square feet and/or located on freeways are limited to the 8 second dwell time standard. • Electronic Signs between 100 and 250 square feet may have a 5 second dwell time. • Electronic Signs smaller than 100 square feet may have a 3 second dwell time. • The twirl time for all electronic signs is limited to a maximum of 0.25 seconds. 6. The proposed regulation would require electronic signs to be turned-off between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. when located within 600 feet of residentially zoned property. 7. Enforcement regulation of the brightness of electronic signs is clarified. Animation remains illegal, although it is better defined to make enforcement clearer. 8. Electronic signs are prohibited as roof signs and within Historic Districts(with exceptions) RE: Petition PLNPCM2010-00717-PLNPCM2010-00032: Billboards Page 2 of 3 Master Plan Considerations: The following master plans have been reviewed: • Urban Design Element: This plan calls for the prohibition of billboards on gateway streets.

Planning Commiss• ion Planning Division Community&Economic Development Department To: Planning Commission Members From: DOUR Dansie,Senior Planner Date: April 27,2011 Re: Billboard Ordinance as adopted by the City Council In response to the petition regarding electronic billboards,PLNPCM2010-00717: The City Council approved an ordinance at their April 12,2011 meeting, The ordinance differs from what the Planning Commission recommended in that it includes a statement that the illumination criteria will apply to on-premise signs,as well as off-premise signs,beginning nine months from the date of publication of the ordinance. The City Council adopted the ordinance with the understanding that the administration\Will be forwarding more detailed changes to the billboard ordinance at a future date. It is the intent of the Council to have the ordinance updated within nine months. Discussion of the billboard petitions will be placed on the Planning Commission agenda in the near future for further consideration. Please find attached the adopted ordinance. � w.v"`, . . , = Briefing for o=w T �,,,; Planning Commission Planning Division Community&Economic Development Department To: Planning Commission Members From: Doug Dansie, Senior Planner Date: May 18, 2011 Re: Billboard Ordinance Work Session • At the May 25°i meeting we will have a general discussion regarding billboards. The petitions are to bring City law into consistency with State law and to create standards for electronic billboards. Staff will provide a PowerPoint presentation based upon the attached outline. After the presentation staff would like some general basic direction regarding fundamental categories of decisions: 1) Should billboards be allowed to move with state law being the default, or should the City still have some receiving zone beyond state law?

The proposed amendment would update current regulations for outdoor billboards to make them consistent with State law. The text amendment would affect all zoning districts. PLNPCM2010-00717: Zoning Text Amendment,Electronic Billboards - A request by Salt Lake City Mayor Becker for a zoning text amendment to address electronic billboards. Currently,the City Zoning Ordinance does not address electronic billboards. The text amendment would affect all zoning districts. A third petition was put on indefinite hold and is not being addressed at this time: Petition 400-06-51: Zoning Text Amendment,Transit Shelter Advertising-A request for a zoning text amendment to address advertising on Bus Shelters. The text amendment would affect all zoning districts. The Salt Lake City Council adopted an ordinance on May 23,2011,which prohibited the construction of electronic billboards. The City Council requested that the Administration and Planning Commission review the issue and provide them with a revised ordinance to be adopted prior to January 23,2012. In July 2011, Staff reviewed potential ordinance alternatives with the Planning Commission. Please find attached a draft of a billboard ordinance which is a result of those discussions. The proposed ordinance alters the existing/previous billboard ordinance in the following ways: • 1) The ordinance provides detailed criteria for both on and off—premise electronic signs. a) Defines motion b) Defines dwell time(how long the image must remain) c) Defines brightness • d) Defines a display period(must be dark in certain zones between midnight and 6 am) e) Defines the percentage of the sign that may be electronic 2) The ordinance redefines "Gateway"as pertaining to billboards. Previously there were two forms of Gateway Streets,now there are four: Special Gateway streets are the same, but regular Gateway streets were subdivided into three categories to allow for differing regulation. a) Special Gateway(same as existing:North Temple 400 South, State Street, Main Street) • b) Freeway (I-15, I-80, I-215, State Route 201,Mountain View Corridor c) Boulevard(streets such as 700 East, Foothill Boulevard, etc.) d) City Entry(400, 500, 600, 900 South and 600 North off ramps) 3) Relocation of billboards is allowed ,,,,,k a) According to State and Federal law b) Allowed to move to CG General Commercial and M Manufacturing zoning districts (with exclusions) c) Limited relocation in the D Downtown and G Gateway zoning districts and on Special Gateway streets with electronic conversion and integration into building architecture 4) Technical changes a) New billboards prohibited—only relocation allowed b) Changeable copy for non-electronic billboards is defined c) Embellishments prohibited d) Spacing and lighting clarified e) Clarifies enforcement f) Severability clause 5) Conversion of static billboard to electronic billboards,is allowed in limited circumstances. a) Billboards presently located in R Residential, CN Neighborhood Commercial, CB Community . Business and all Gateway Streets may be moved to CG and M zones and converted to electronic one, one square foot per square foot basis (with some exclusion). £�.. b) Billboards in the CG and M zoning districts may be converted to electronic if an equivalent amount of billboard square footage is removed elsewhere. c) Billboards located on freeways may be converted to electronic with the removal of an equivalent amount of square footage from a City Entry or Boulevard Street or Residential, CN or CB zoning districts. d) Billboards located on Special Gateway streets may be converted to electronic if an equivalent amount of billboard square footage is removed from any Gateway Street,Residential, CN or CB zoning district and the new electronic billboard is integrated into the architecture of the building e) Billboards located in Downtown and Gateway zoning districts may be converted to electronic if an equivalent amount of billboard square footage is removed from any Gateway street, Residential, CN or CB zoning district and the new electronic billboard is integrated into the architecture of the building. • Attached to this staff report is: • A. A copy of the proposed draft ordinance, B. Comments from the open city hall web page, and C. The original staff report Recommendation: Based on the findings listed in the original staff report (sec attachment C), and the subsequent discussions and meetings, it is the Planning Staffs opinion that overall the proposal generally meets the applicable standards and therefore, recommends the Planning Commission forward a positive • recommendation to the City Council to approve the supplementary zoning text amendments associated with petitions PLNPCM2010-00032 and PL NPCM2010-00717 as outlined in the draft ordinance and summary. • This draft ordinance was prepared to illustrate how the basic concept differs from the previous ordinance. The final ordinance, as drafted by the City Attorney,may differ considerably in format.

What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City Name not shown in District 6 September 16, 2011, 5:31 PM Our city is visually deteriorating due to the many (and too often tasteless) billboards. Business continues in cities without billboards and the cities hold a lot more charm and appeal. I'd prefer they were all gone.They are also a distraction to drivers. charlene durham in District 6 September 12, 2011, 2:02 PM I don't have a strong opinion about allowing or disallowing billboard advertising, but there needs to be significant guidance about their use; in other words, regulation. First, electronic billboards: there needs to be regulation regarding brightness, and color selection.The new board on 1-15 southbound at the I-215/Beck Street exits is horribly glaring and makes night driving difficult beyond it's distractability factor. Small, informative school signs are a very different matter. Second, number of billboards:when driving northbound 1-15 it is distressingly obvious when one enters Layton.The number and placement of advertising billboards makes it difficult to find the UDOT information signs. In addition, it makes Layton an ugly place to drive through. Third, content: it's hard to regulate taste, but the breast enhancement/liposuction ads are not a good image to introduce our fair city. Please make these considerations a part of the discussion. Carole Straughn in District 7 September 3, 2011, 12:22 PM I oppose all billboards because: 1)They create visual clutter. People love to visit and live in Salt Lake because of the beauty.When we allow ugly signs to obstruct the view, we degrade the enjoyment of all for financial gain of a few. 2) Billboards, especially electronic ones, create light pollution, which damages human health. (See comment by Ross Chambless.) 3) Along highways, billboards can distract drivers, causing accidents. 4) Billboards use a lot of electric power.We need to be finding ways to conserve power, so that we don't have to burn so much fossil fuel, polluting the air and disrupting the climate. If we cannot eliminate all billboards, let's make them as unobtrusive as possible. For example, small posters for bus kiosks and transit stops can sometimes be attractive. Let's do all we can to phase out the large tacky billboards, with or without electronics. As for the argument that billboards create jobs, surely we can find other ways to create opportunities for employment. For example, we could foster more tourism to our beautiful city or facilitate more small business.

What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City I think billboards of any kind cheapen a city or area of the city no matter what kind of billboard it is. Personally, I oppose all billboards.With the internet, people can find what they need by looking it up. Advertising is in our faces constantly. Utah and Salt Lake City have some of the ugliest streets I've ever seen because of the large number of billboards.Take a trip to a city that cares how it looks (CA and some other states)and you will find billboard advertising has been strictly regulated and sometimes even eliminated completely.Why should anyone have to stare at a billboard so someone else can make a buck? It's similar to noise pollution...it's sight pollution, and it's just ANOTHER way for business to dump on citizens who don't need it or want it. Name not shown in District 2 August 30, 2011, 4:37 PM Electronic billboards have a place in any city.They help business flourish and grow and are the most inexpensive form of advertising. I believe that if you ban electronic billboards you will be sending a very strong message to the businesses located within the city.That message is we want to limit the amount of revenue you take in. Business will simply start looking elsewhere when deciding where to open. Name not shown in District 7 August 29, 2011, 4:41 PM I am in favor of the City adopting an ordinance that is favorable to electronic signs. Signs are an integral part of the free enterprise system, and a well drafted and enforced sign ordinance is critical to the vitality of the City. Signs, especially electronic signs, allow business owners, government, schools, and other community stakeholders to communicate relevant, up-to-date information regarding products and services that help Salt Lake City grow and flourish. I have seen communities that severely limit or ban electronic signs.What happens next is banners, sign trucks, snipe signs, and other signs begin to crop up and make the city cluttered and unsightly. Banners and the like are unnecessary if a well drafted electronic sign code allows community service providers and businesses to communicate in an up-to-date and effective manner. Electronic billboards allow for an increase in advertising supply, without increasing the number of signs. It is a great way to get the word out without the environmental impact of newspapers, flyers, and other less environmentally-friendly advertising methods. I believe that an electronic sign code that allows electronic signs and billboards and that places reasonable controls on brightness and location, will ultimately make Salt Lake City a more viable community and a better place to live.

What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City parts of the city where it is not allowed through zoning (that is what it is for), but I see no reason to ban it across the entire city. Business brings jobs and tax revenues to a city's economy. Advertising is part of business. I believe we should allow digital billboards and advertising in business districts. Name not shown in District 2 August 24, 2011, 9:18 AM It is of most importance for our city to allow digital signage that can change messages regularly or show video for on premise and outdoor business. It has been said that they are a cause of accidents. For all those who think of know that is true I would like to see legal information showing of a accidents caused by digital signs. Its interesting to see how the Highway Patrol uses these signs on the major roads, and freeways, along with the police in residential neighborhoods for speeding cars. I would also like to bring to your attention that all these digital colored signs that our great law enforcement are changing very regularly, and in many cases flashing and scrolling in nano seconds. Why should the city restrain the great tax paying business to capitalize on these digital signs, when are city allows the uses of them? I think our tax dollars could go to allot better use than worrying about signs like feeding the hungry, serving others and the list goes on and on. oommok Name not shown in District 7 August 23, 2011, 10:28 AM Digital billboards are part an important part of our city. They look better an cleaner than traditional billboards, they provide important public service announcements, and they allow small businesses a place to advertise. I feel they belong in our community! Name not shown in District 2 August 23, 2011, 9:16 AM Outdoor advertising has been around for quite some time now. I am happy to see electronic billboards being built and updating the means of advertising and communication in Salt Lake City. Electronic Billboards provide important information instantly to drivers throughout Salt Lake. I don't see any problem with outdoor advertising, specifically electronic billboards. In a world where communication and awareness is so important, I think electronic billboards deliver the most information in the most efficient ways.

What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City symphony, opera, concerts, farmers markets, finding a church, helping the poor and needy? Remember, not everyone who drives on our streets lives here. Having digital billboard and having the ads change is a huge benefit to our city, after all don't we want our city to succeed? How chaotic would our city be if we didn't have street signs to advertise where we are at and where we want or need to go? Billboards are that direction; let's not make bad decisions by banning digital billboards based on a few peoples hatred toward them. Name not shown in District 7 August 15, 2011, 4:37 PM Billboards are an unsightly and aggressive form of advertising that is not appropriate in a city setting. Please do not allow billboards to be posted throughout the city.There are currently billboards on 1300 East and 2100 south that are often covered in graffiti. This paints a negative picture of our city. Name not shown in District 4 August 10, 2011, 8:56 AM I believe that billboards of any kind in the City are unsightly. Billboards belong out on the open highways and not in the City. I see them as nothing more than graffiti. Electronic billboards are a traffic hazard. It seems to me that they draw our attention away from driving and watching the road. I would prefer that they are only allowed along highways in rural areas. Name not shown in District 6 August 5, 2011, 10:24 PM We just returned from a trip back East. It is apparent that Vermont has strong regulations on billboards. Upon crossing the state line into Mass.we were inundated with the roadside signs.They were distracting and unsightly.Thinking more on this topic since our trip and after being in Park City throughout the years it is clear that regulation makes a big difference.A positive difference.We think of the ground level billboards in our neighborhood and how inappropriate they are, and have noticed the electronic ones along the highway,These may be effective advertising devices (clearly, since they distract drivers, especially the electronic ones) but we weigh in in opposition to them. Our views throughout the valley, mountains and city are as valuable and we support less distraction by consumerism based advertising on billboards.True, it is intrinsic, but money and profit cannot be the only consideration in this policy decision. Valerie Swaner in District 3 July 22, 2011, 2:01 PM Where will the regulation end? This is not an issue limited to the digital signs owned by Yesco and Reagan Sign Companies. Take a moment and think about the larger issue of what the City and our Mayor have planned regarding the elimination of all electronic signs. "The mayor's office said e-signs used by businesses eventually would have to be addressed..."

Salt Lake Tribune, April 13, 2011 If digital signs are a light nuisance and a distraction to drivers, then all electronic signs are a problem! First ban off-premise commercial signs and then ban on-premise business signs. Here are examples of what may come next;The Flower Patch on 500 South and State Street uses a digital sign to advertise rose bouquets.Will City government tell them to turn off their sign? Across the street, Ken Garff has a digital sign. Does that sign pose a safety risk for drivers? Should they be forced to tear it down? Many banks and credit unions give us time, temperature and their current rates. Should Salt Lake City have the authority to turn off those signs? East High, West High and Highland High Schools all have electronic signs facing busy streets with teenage drivers.These signs tell us about Back to School Nights, Fall Registration dates, Holidays and school sporting events.Are they next? Should their flashy signs go dark? Is the Energy Solutions digital sign on 300 West a distraction? Are there more car accidents on that As** street because of their sign? `° Where does the regulation begin and end? Maybe all shiny signs should go... Name not shown in District 6 July 21, 2011, 6:02 PM Billboard, both electronic and traditional are already too agressively regulated. Banning electronic billboards will do nothing more than harm an already fragile economy. This action in turn will further diminish an already declining tax base in Salt Lake City. Over the course of the last year, I have taken my kids to play soccer at fields that have not been mowed in months making in nearly impossible for them to kick a ball; Taken them to baseball fields that are not maintained and actually pose a danger to them when they play; and finally to parks that have not had the garbage emptied in months and it was pouring out of the cans and piling up in front of them to the degree you could hardly see where the garbage can was placed. Why are these maintenance issue so prevelent in Salt Lake City? The answer is a dwindling tax base. It does not make sense to me that the City staff wants to further reduce the tax base, and even spend what little.tax revenue it presently has on an issue that does not need to be addressed.

What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City There are several topics to address regarding the banning of digital billboards in Salt Lake City. One: Salt Lake City is in the bill board business.Two: Businesses, such as the JAZZ, have many advertising choices; however these businesses purchase outdoor because the medium is effective in creating business growth, in turn creating both a strong cooperate tax base and employment.Three: studies indicate that the debate on electronic billboards is not an issue that is important in the lives of constituents; currently constituents are most concerned about the state of the economy and job growth. The Downtown Alliance sells street pole flags on streets such as 400 south, 700 east, and Foothill Boulevard. However, Salt Lake City has banned the seven privately held outdoor companies from building bill boards in these areas. Salt Lake City through city zoning has created a monopoly on the downtown advertising space. Businesses advertise to let customers know about their services. Business purchase outdoor because outdoor effectively reaches consumers and will help business grow creating more taxable revenue and jobs. Without both corporate tax and private employment the city would not be able to support public services. Research in cities and markets similar to Salt Lake (Cleveland and LA Counties) indicate that a large percentage of the public find electronic signs to be both attractive and helpful to the community. These studies also indicate that the debate on electronic billboards is not an issue that is important in the lives of constituents, Outdoor advertising, including electronic advertising, benefits the community through promotion of commercial business, publicizing community events and public service announcements, and broadcasting emergency messages when necessary at little. or no cost. Organizations such as the Boy Scouts, Children's Miracle Network, and University of Utah Athletics have been the recipients of an incalculable amount of free advertising.Additionally, the Utah Attorney General's office, the FBI and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have all taken advantage of untold amounts of free advertising. Electronic billboards make delivering their critical messages simple and timely. Outdoor advertising in Utah supports hundreds of Utah jobs. Salt Lake City is the home of the corporate headquarters for Utah's two largest Outdoor Advertising companies. Is this really an issue at all, as unemployment climbs to above 7% in Utah, more members of the Salt Lake City community are living without the basic needs of health care, food, shelter and education. As a resident of Salt Lake I would prefer if Salt Lake City focus their efforts in reducing these humanitarian problems rather than wasting tax payers' money attacking the outdoor industry. Name not shown in District 2 July 21, 2011, 3:57 PM I think that it is funny that people are so quick to write or post stuff off emotion and there is really no thought to what is being said.

What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City the freeway doing? People say that they are distracting to look at, well then do not look at them, really we are all have control of what we are doing with your bodies. Here is the thing that I find to be an issue that no one really has hit There are 7 jobs that are directly related to these electronic billboards,jobs that allow people to spend money in the cities that these billboards in. So lets all just look at the bigger picture and lets all stop being scared of change and of things that are different, and worry about bigger things in life. Name not shown outside Salt Lake City July 19, 2011, 2:06 PM Electronic Billboards are the future.Why is SLC government want to hurt economy?The Billboards can advertise more the customers can change the copy quickly and that is good for the stores, workers. Lets also look at the added little thing of Amber alert. Instant color photos and info, would that be nice to save 1 child or person for harm? But I guess we wont see any lack of election signs put up any where and MANY at one site.The Mayor and his crew is a no vote for me come election day. Name not shown outside Salt Lake City July 19, 2011, 8:56 AM I find electronic outdoor advertising a modern day advantage. Crisp colors, quick messages, and the availablility to advertise many different businesses, and events at a fraction of the cost. In our fast paced lifestyle, it's exactly what we need. Progress. 40.40, Isn't that what we are all working towards? Much different than the huge billboards of the past that kept the same ad up, long after the event was over, often tattered and faded! Aren't we the age of need-to-know-now? Instant messaging--electronic advertising seems to me to be the same concept, just a larger screen. Name not shown outside Salt Lake City July 19, 2011, 8:49 AM Isn't it funny that there are so many strange and even amusing comments about billboards. I can see that we don't want too many but banning them is absurd as is the comment about them being bad on our health. If we were voting to ban the businesses most of you work at you would be appalled but you are more than ready to hurt someone else.That is a great way to be.There are always better ways of doing things and maybe all of you should get together and come up with something. Businesses need ways to get their message out. I realize there are many other options but choice should still be ours. If you don't want to read billboards then that is your choice. Have some self control and don't look. I agree that we live in a beautiful and diverse culture and location but that beauty and/or culture are not changed all that much by the billboards that are out there. And when it comes to our health instead of just billboards maybe we should ban lights all together after 9:00pm including cars and trucks so that we don't get sick.There are so many troubles that really plague us but billboards probably wouldn't be at the top or even close on my list! Jeffrey Young in District 7 July 19, 2011, 8:07 AM To All Concerned - Billboards are highly regulated from federal, state, and city ordinances.

What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City free enterprise and negatively impacts the economy. We strongly disagree with the city wanting to impose further regulations on spacing, electronic installation, and timing. Every sign that is up has a valid permit. The Virginia Tech Transportation Institute has shown through multiple studies that there is no increase in risk to the public as they travel past and view these signs. Jeff Young Young Electric Sign Company Since 1920 Abdellatif Oukris outside Salt Lake City July 18, 2011, 10:37 AM Banning this Billboard is another bullet shouted on the already sick American economy. I personally lost my job on IT due to the stupid outsourcing that puts our dollars into other countries economy and guess what! A big lot of that money goes to our number one enemy like if we are making them stronger day after day to even treat us more and more;what a wise political system we have?!!! Long story short: I restored my life as an American consumer on the field of Billboard advertising, and banning it means putting me and thousands of other workers on the shadow of unemployment, killing local and national economy more and more. To those seeking to ban billboard advertising, please be wise and put your effort on banning outsourcing and help expending local business instead. God bless America! Name not shown outside Salt Lake City July 18, 2011, 10:08 AM Billboards/Electronic Billboards are great for the Utah economy & are a Public Service: 1.)They provide jobs for Utahns. Many Utah billboard companies have their headquarters hear in Utah and help contribute to the local economy.These companies provide jobs for many Utahns, from installers who install the advertisement, designers who create them, digital tech who maintain the electronic billboards and sales person who sell the ad space. Many people are affected by the jobs provided by local billboard companies. 2.)They help inform people.The electronic billboards are linked in with the national Amber Alert program.This means that when a child goes missing or is kidnapped, an alert is sent out and information on that child is posted to the digital billboard. I know that if my child went missing, I would definitely want everyone to know, in hope for a safe return. Since the Amber Alert program's inception, AMBER Alerts have been credited with the successful recovery of more than 400 children. On top of helping to find missing or abducted children, electronic billboards help to inform and capture criminals. "Most importantly, the billboards have led directly to the capture of at least 14 fugitives (from 2008-2009), plus many more indirectly through our overall publicity efforts.And all at essentially no cost to the American taxpayer... Long story short: the billboards are working and working well.And that means a safer America for all." - FBI, on Digital Billboard Advertising.

What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City (http://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/2009/january/billboards_013009) In short, let's focus on the good that billboard/electronic billboards do for Utah and America in general. Name not shown in District 6 July 17, 2011, 9:31 PM Billboards are an absolute eyesore and are detrimental to a city's ambiance.All one has to do is drive on a freeway with NO billboards to quickly appreciate what a difference it makes.We live in such a gorgeous city--it's not worth it to pockmark the landscape with billboards of any kind. Arnold Klemens in District 7 July 16, 2011, 10:21 PM I think electronic billboards are fine. I think they are tastefully done and help provide jobs for Utahns. They are also good for businesses who wish to advertise for short periods of time. It is also a great tool for Amber Alerts. I have no problem with them. Name not shown in District 7 July 16, 2011, 7:33 PM Billboards in general are a distraction and they are very ugly. Nobody needs to read about anything while driving, they need to focus on the safety of themselves and the people they are driving close to. '"""b Advertising is an ugly and unnecessary practice which on the whole is a violation of independent thought. Utah county billboards touted the joys of sedation while going through oral surgery, so unnecessary! All billboards should be banned, unlikely yes but it sounds wonderful. Name not shown in District 2 July 14, 2011, 9:15 AM The ambience of a city is critical.There is so much stuff out there--blaring away, flashing here and there. I think advertizing on Trax is an ugly commercial sight that takes away from Trax as part of our concern for an ecological city. I want to see Trax not a lot of advertiszing.The electronic bill boards, like some other commentator, is just heading us toward Los Vegas light pollution.They are also DANGEROUS BILL BOARDS IN general.Try exiting on 600 South while reading those bill boards. It is very dangerous distraction. How is this different than using your cell phone? Let's be aware that each one of these electronic distractions is taking away from the beauty of our city and our mountains. It is also imposing these bits of info onto people who don't want it. How fair is this? I can decide not to read the paper or some other publication but I am FORCED TO SEE THESE BILLBOARDS, like it or not. In Vermont you see the beauty of our surroundings, never horrible billboards. I'm so tired of seeing the "find my murderer" on 600 South exit. Please, let's make SLC the beautiful place that it is. The only thing worse than these "off-premise advertising in SLC" is the air pollution in the winter. I see Rio Tinto at Red Butte as they buy their way into the hearts and minds of SLC with their pollution sponsoring, just another buy out. Let's not go there! Richard Middleton in District 3 July 1'1, 2011, 9:57 AM I strongly support Ross Chambless' comment about "light trespass".

AN Public comments as of September 19,2011, 8:59 AM http:/Ammv.peakdemocracy.com/643 Page 11 of 16 Billboards, Electronic Billboards and Transit Station Advertising There are presently three separate petitions regarding the regulation of off-premise advertising in Salt Lake City. What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City It's over half a mile away, and so obviously it isn't legible or serving any useful purpose as far as advertising to us is concerned. It's several hundred feet below us, so if it were properly directed and screened it would be far less of a nuisance. It would be even better if it were required to be switched off once the event crowds have dispersed. Ross Chambless in District 3 July 10, 2011, 11:14 PM I am glad the City is addressing this issue. I agree with many of the concerns already voiced in this forum, yet I'd like to mention another concern. I began paying attention to billboards several years ago, not because of their advertising, but because of their contribution to chronic light pollution.There is abundant research showing billboards contribute to negative human health effects associated with light pollution, like glare for drivers and cancer. (Various types of cancer are associated with the body's inability to produce melatonin during sleep because of too much light at night) Most billboards in Salt Lake use high-powered lights that shine upward at night, which is a waste of light and energy. Moreover, this "light trespass" can be disruptive - even unhealthy- if the signs are located around neighborhoods and homes where people live and sleep. But, the billboard companies have continually resisted past legislative efforts to simply point their lights downward instead of upward.And they argue their signs don't contribute that much to the problem, even though it's glaringly obvious (pun intended). There are rather mixed views about electronic billboards and light pollution. But some believe with appropriate illumination levels, they're a better alternative to the older, sky-beam light wasters. For health and safety reasons alone, I think there should be fewer billboards located near residential areas. Perhaps the sign companies could consolidate their advertising and impacts into fewer electronic signs, to be located in commercially-zoned areas? I think the companies should be encouraged or required to convert the light fixtures of older billboards, or convert to illumination- appropriate electronic signs, located somewhere where they don't cause a distraction or create blight. Name not shown in District 4 July 10, 2011, 10:18 PM I was just driving through Las Vegas last week. I've seen the future. Electronic billboards everywhere. I want to cry. Can you imagine how beautiful our city would be without billboards? It'll never happen as long as politicians accept campaign contributions from outdoor companies. Next time you see a politician on a billboard, chances are better than good that at least part of the cost was donated by the outdoor company.They donate space, offer substantial discounts and contribute heavily to the campaigns of those who support them. Nothing illegal about that (although maybe it should be).The result is ugly. Literally. Others have mentioned Vermont.The same is true in Hawaii. No billboards. Just beautiful vistas.

What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City We have a beautiful city, but sometimes it's hard to see because billboards get in the way. Until our elected officials quit taking bribes from outdoor advertising firms (...or as they like to call them, "campaign contributions"), we'll be stuck with billboards. Oh how I hope there are some courageous officials who will prove me wrong. I'd leave my name, but my employer advertises on billboards. I'm afraid I'm as cowardly as our elected officials are. Name not shown in District 3 July 10, 2011, 9:47 AM I find large billboards within the city extremely ugly. I vote no large billboards, ESPECIALLY no electronic billboards, which are the ugliest, most intrusive, & dangerously distracting.Transit shelters & bus/train advertising is less intrusive & raises money for us. If it does not promote alcohol or contain sexually suggestive photos, I find it tolerable. Name not shown in District 3 July 8, 2011, 10:34 PM • Billboards should be limited if not eliminated.The height of buildings might be a good start then phasing out over ten years. Electronic signs are not only distracting, energy consuming, and uncomplimentary to our environment.They Suck. Anosk John Brodie in District 6 July 8, 2011, 2:29 PM We have a beautiful city. I think bill boards of all types pollute our roadways and neighborhoods. Sheldon Smith outside Salt Lake City July 8, 2011, 1:08 PM It would be very refeshing to see no more billboards (electronic or otherwise) along our roadways. They are an eyesore to our skyline.Take a trip to Vermont and see how nice it CAN look. Laurie Mecham in District 1 July 8, 2011, 12:08 PM Upon moving back to Salt Lake after a five year absence, I was appalled at the presence of electronic billboards. I cannot imagine any justification for putting illuminated, animated, visual distractions on roadways. Billboards in general are distracting to drivers and clutter the view. Electronic billboards are many times worse. I would be proud to live in a city that bans billboards altogether. Chad Mullins outside Salt Lake City July 7, 2011, 10:39 PM We live in a beautiful city situated in a fabulous natural environment. Billboards are a terrible intrusion and unwarranted invasion of the public realm of vistas. One only needs to visit communities with much stricter regulation of signage to see what an astounding difference it makes. A community free of obtrusive signage should be a public right. Bryan Young in District 5 July 7, 2011, 3:31 PM I find these advertisements to be complete eyesores. I appreciate that businesses need to advertise, but these are just ugly scars on our landscape. There are thousands of other ways to market your Public comments as of September 19,2011, 8:59 All http:/IwAv.peakdemocracy.cond643 Page 13 of 16 Billboards, Electronic Billboards and Transit Station Advertising There are presently three separate petitions regarding the regulation of off-premise advertising in Salt Lake City. What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City business that don't require the unnatractive and distracting billboards that turn our city into a cheap place with no character. I find the electronic billboards would probably be easier to swallow if they were dimmed significantly and changed less. I appreciate their helpfulness in Amber Alerts, but I really don't think we need any facing east/west coming into the city. North/South along I-15 is slightly less offensive. The billboard I have the largest problem with is the one on 1300 S. and 300 E. I live right near that and for all intents and purposes, it's a vacant, untended lot. I wish there was something in the code that would allow us to bulldoze it. And, in my dreams, we could replace it with a neighborhood pub. Overall, I think billboards detract from the character of the city. As far as advertisements on transit shelters, if that's the only way we can pay for them, then I suppose I can stomach it, but I think less exposure to advertising is better for the community as a whole. Name not shown in District 4 July 7, 2011, 2:39 PM Transit shelter advertising is an appropriate place, as are the sides (not windows) of trains and buses. Electronic billboards should be allowed on a very limited basis in commercial areas only, and only as a replacement sign. And I agree that they are a serious distraction to drivers and should not be allowed near freeways or major roads. On a long term basis, the city should factor into their budget monies for the eventual elimination of outdoor signs (not business signs) based on a fair and equitable amount. Perhaps some of the money could be obtained from organizations that already participate in acquiring property (e.g., Nature Conservancy, Utah Open Lands, etc.) . . . not buying open space but certainly contributing to the overall ascetics of the city. Daniel Lower in District 1 July 7, 2011, 12:51 PM For the electronic billboards, they do serve a purpose - one of them can handle many advertisers, which would limit the number of billboards as a result (if handled properly). However, they are distracting while driving, your eyes move to them as they change. However, in a controlled area (sports arenas and stadiums) they are very effective. Maybe allow them on sidewalks, in smaller form, and advertise to the walking masses instead of the driving ones. For transit advertising, it's fine - I've seen quite a few of these as I take the trains. The shelters are fine. Advertising on the train itself should be limited, though -the porous material goes across windows and causes those with motion sickness to have issues with seeing the outside. If a billboard has worn down and is dillapidated, there should be provision for removal as a nuisance. Not sure how this would be handled, but I've seen a lot of dead ones that are no longer in use, but they still stand.

What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City I feel that billboards in general are eyesores. The electronic billboards are very distracting to me when I'm driving. I agree with minimizing billboards for aesthetics. Esther Stokes in District 7 July 7, 2011, 5:23 AM I'm opposed to electronic billboards, they are distracting to me, and I imagine others while driving. Ever been to Vermont, with no billboards, at all? It's nice. On a whole I'm opposed to more billboards. Transit shelters maybe an ok place for advertising. Name not shown outside Salt Lake City July 6, 2011, 10:44 PM Bus stop signage ok if in good taste and it directly offsets cost of bus fares, no revenue or proceeds to UTA's John English or it's board Change law to preclude hostile advertising in sight of competitors. Must be ethical and in good taste. Remove unsightly, non standard billboards, specific zoning, change the1993 law to meet current standards. More modern and less obtrusive billboardss and signage (sim to Park City and St George) amok ! Not a fan of electronic billboards." To bright, distracts drivers, and I don't think they are very green. Please share energy details and Life cycle cost details. Please provide details as to energy efficiency, are they more or less green or energy efficient? No mobile advertising trucks either, unless under human power, ie rickshaw pedal bikes. Thanks for opportunity for input Terry Marasco in District 3 July 6, 2011, 9:17 PM Think of billboards the way national parks think of view sheds.The aesthetics of the parks is no different than our communities, in fact I believe more importantly for our neighborhoods. Keep in mind companies want eyeballs and are least concerned about aesthetics.The executive who requests a billboard in a si neighborhood may live in Chicago. Now transit shelters are reasonable places for billboards, but neighborhoods with 30 foot signs are out of the question. Furthermore cities strapped for$$ should not go near depreciated aesthetics for money. Richard Kanner in District 7 July 6, 2011, 9:11 PM Electronic billboards, although a valuable tool for business, has the downside of being very distracting Public comments as of September 19,2011,8:59 AM http.i/wwweakdemocracy.corn/643 Page 15 of 16 Billboards, Electronic Billboards and Transit Station Advertising There are presently three separate'petitions regarding the regulation of off-premise advertising in Salt Lake City. What do you think? All Participants around Salt Lake City while driving. The constant change of ads keeps the driver's eyes on the billboard rather than the • road.I do not know if this issue has ever been studied in a scientific fashion, but it should be. Before allowing these potential distractions to driving the city should look for previously performed studies. If none exist then seed money should be provided for a study to determine how safe or hazardous they may be. Lets be sure they do not compromise safety before we allow them to proliferate. • • Public comments as of September 19,2011, 6:59 AM hltp://v,ww.pealdemocracy.com/643 Page 16 of 16 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT Off-premise advertising Petitions: 400-06-51 , PLNPCM2010-00032 mnnm�, PLNPCM2010-00717 ,m�.:- a i' Zoning Text Amendment % z T Citywide Planning and Zoning Division February 23, 2011 Department of Community and Economic Development Applicant: Mayor Ralph Becker Request Staff: There are three separate petitions regarding the regulation of off-premise Doug Dansie,535-6182 advertisingin Salt Lake City.

Map of affected geography Petitions:400-06-51,PLNPCM2010-00032,PLNPCM2010-00717 Published Date: Febniatyl8,2011 1 Background The current billboard ordinance was adopted in 1993. It was based upon the premise of capping the overall number of billboards and allowing the remaining billboards to move to more acceptable locations away from residential and historical areas. Since then, State legislation has changed allowing billboard companies to relocate billboards to non-residential zoning districts adjacent to existing billboard locations. In many cases, billboard companies have purchased the land or easement on sites to insure the permanence of their board, therefore eliminating the incentive for movement. The industry has also expressed a desire to maintain its present coverage; therefore the billboard bank contained in the original ordinance has been rendered mute. The industry is now considering converting many billboards to billboards with electronic faces, which have a differing set of impacts(such as changing images)and effectively increase the non-conformity of many billboards. The current ordinance is silent regarding electronic billboards: Meaning there is no prohibition or rules regarding conversion. • Project Description There are three separate petitions,all involving off-premise advertising. Off-premise advertising differs from on-premise advertising in that on-premise is generally necessary for an individual business to exist or survive, Off—premise advertising generally promotes activity not associated with the location of the sign, therefore the ,,mlN nexus between the business and the sign is not as critical. Court cases have generally allowed local communities to regulate off-premise advertising more stringently than on-premise advertising. The Supreme Court has ruled that billboards may be banned as long as other forms of advertising exist in the community. The petitions and issues are as follows: Petition 400-06-51: Zoning Text Amendment,Transit Shelter Advertising -A request for a zoning text amendment to address advertising on Bus Shelters. Request: The present ordinance has banned bus bench advertising and most other advertising in the public right-of-way since the 1970's. This proposal is to allow limited advertising on bus shelters or other public furniture (as is done in numerous suburban communities)to allow advertising to pay for those public amenities. Issues: O Off-premise signage in the public right-of-way, including bus benches, was prohibited in the 1970's. © Previous use of signage in the right-of-way resulted in complaints of clutter. A Previous signage in the right-of-way resulted in complaints of businesses putting signage directly in front of competitors, etc. o Salt Lake City has liberalized some signage regulations since the 1970's: Specifically banners and A- frame directional signs © UTA(and Lamar Advertising) approached the City regarding the potential for advertising to pay for • transit shelters. O Using advertising to pay for other potential public furniture and services has also been considered (restrooms, bike rental, etc.) Petitions:400-06-51,PLNPCM2010-00032,PLNPCM2010-00717 Published Date: FebruaryIS,2011 2 PLNPCM2010-00032: Zoning Text Amendment,Billboards-A request by Salt Lake City Mayor Becker for a zoning text amendment to address outdoor billboards. The proposed amendment would Update current regulations for outdoor billboards to make them consistent with State law. Request: The existing law regarding billboards was adopted in 1993. State law has changed considerably since that time leaving portions of current City law to be inneffective. The purpose of this petition is to update City law to be consistent with State law and to simplify City processes. Issues: e The current ordinance was adopted in 1993 and was intended to be a cap and reduce program, allowing billboards to relocate to more appropriate locations while prohibiting an increase in the overall number of billboards in the City and allowing for a decrease. e A billboard bank was set up to accommodate movement and to prioritize areas of acceptable relocation. a State law has changed considerably since 1993. e State law allows billboards to move to any non-residential property within a variable distance from the original Ideation for multiple reasons, if the City does not allow the movement;the City is obligated to purchase the billboard. The City may negotiate alternative locations with the Billboard company. ® State law requires the purchase of a billboard to include damages to the"package". Billboards are often sold in groups to one advertiser;that group constitutes a package. • Changes in State law have left the SLC billboard bank largely irrelevant. o Many billboards in the City were erected before there were any sign regulations and they remain in areas where they have long been non-conforming. o Billboards are amortized for tax value and pay taxes on 8% of their original value after 19 years. © By State law, billboards are the only non-conforming use that cannot be removed through the use of amortization. © There are numerous scenarios in Salt Lake City where the presence of a billboard suppresses the redevelopment potential 'of the underlying land, as well as examples of redevelopment with billboards. PLNPCM2010-00717: Zoning Text Amendment,Electronic Billboards -A request by Salt Lake City Mayor Becker for a zoning text amendment to address electronic billboards. Currently,the City Zoning Ordinance does not address electronic billboards. Request: The petition is to update existing City law to reflect industry changes and to define and regulate the conversion of existing billboards to an electronic format. Issues: o The current ordinance is silent regarding electronic billboards. o Six electronic billboards exist in Salt Lake City. Three are under dispute. o Numerous electronic on-premise signs exist. O State law allows electronic billboards but does not require local government to allow the conversion of old billboards to an electronic format. o Electronic billboards are the emerging format for billboards. o Electronic billboards require a greater investment and offer an increased Potential revenue source for the owner;therefore their removal costs are also higher. • Petitions:400-06-51,PLNPCh42010-00032,PLNPC1\42010-00717 Published Dale: Febniary18,2011 3 Atrat Comments Public Comments o An Open House introducing these petitions and potential regulations was held on November 18, 2010. o There was an initial briefing with the Planning Commission at the December 9,2010 meeting. o The Business Advisory Board was briefed on January 5,2011. o Several Planning Commissioners met with YESCO representatives on January 5, 2011 to discuss technical aspects of electronic billboards. o The Planning Commission received a briefing and held a work session on January 12,• 2011 and set up a subcommittee to review the proposals. o The Planning Commission held an"issues only"hearing on January 26,2011.

Failure to grant zoning changes outlined by Petition 400-06-51 would keep the present prohibition of bus bench advertising. Failure to grant zoning changes suggested by petition PLNPCM2010-00032 would result in a situation where State law would still supersede City ordinance and allow movement into areas currently prohibited by City ordinance, regardless of the City billboard banking process. Failure to grant zoning changes requested by petition PLNPCM2010- 00717 would allow conversion of static billboards to electronic billboards by not providing any prohibition against their conversion or providing any standards to do so. Findings A decision to amend the text of this title or the zoning map by general amendment is a matter committed to the legislative discretion of the city council and is not controlled by any one standard.However, In making its decision concerning a proposed text amendment,the city council should consider the following factors: A. 1. Whether a proposed text amendment is consistent with the purposes,goals,objectives, and policies of the city as stated through its various adopted planning documents; Analysis: The Urban Design Element calls for the prohibition of billboards on gateway streets, The North Temple Master Plan calls for the prohibition of billboards on North Temple. The Downtown Master Plan and Downtown Rising Plan(not formally adopted by Salt Lake City)call for prohibiting billboards on entry streets to downtown and cleaning up their general appearance. The proposed amendment outlines general areas where billboards are allowed and defines gateway streets where they are not allowed. The billboard ordinance is not the only ordinance affecting gateway streets. Other sections of City code require landscaping on street frontages, including freeways,full architecture on all sides of the building and regulation of on-premise signage. Sexually oriented businesses are also prohibited on gateway streets. Finding: The proposed zoning text amendments are supported by general policy of the City 2. Whether a proposed text amendment furthers the specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance; Analysis: The proposed zoning amendments bring the City ordinance into conformity with State law while still allowing for local flexibility in relocation and discouraging new impacts; such as the lighting emanating from electronic billboards in residential areas. State law allows for billboards to move in the immediate vicinity of their existing location or as negotiated with the City. The proposed City ordinance would also allow the City to move billboards to Manufacturing and General Commercial areas of the City, away from existing residential and gateway areas. The proposed geography for relocation opens up much of the industrial area on the west side of 1-215. Finding: The proposed zoning text amendments are designed to be consistent with City master plan goals while also remaining consistent with State law. • Petitions:400-06-51,PLNPCM2010-00032,PLNPCM2010-00717 Published Date: February 18,2011 5 3. Whether a proposed text amendment is consistent with the purposes and provisions of any applicable overlay zoning districts which may impose additional standards; and Analysis: The current and newly proposed ordinance encourages the relocation of billboards onto locations outside of historical preservation overlay districts. The new ordinance would allow billboards within the approach area of the Airport(Airport Influence Overlay),but billboards would be no more impactful than allowable buildings or on-premise signs in that overlay district. One of the provisions of the proposed ordinance is to limit height of new billboards to the same height of on-premise signage. There is a provision to subject billboard lighting in Airport Influence Overlay Zones to Airport lighting restrictions. The ordinance has little or no effect on other overlay districts(transitional, groundwater, etc.). Finding: The proposed zoning map amendment is consistent with overlay districts. 4.The extent to which a proposed text amendment implements best current,professional practices of urban planning and design. Analysis: Changes in State law over the last fifteen years, along with the industry practice of acquiring permanent easement for billboards and the adoption of taxing billboards as personal property as tax policy, has created a situation where non-conforming billboards,which generate little tax revenue, are suppressing development that is in conformity with master plan policies and which also generates housing, employment and tax revenue. Billboard laws vary from State to State and City to City. Five states outlaw the construction of new billboards,conversely some cities, such as New York have used •m, off-premise signage to create lively and bright sections of their community(Times Square). The regulation of off-premise advertising can play an important role in defining the character of a city. For example: Las Vegas,a desert resort, allows for numerous electronic billboards to create a bright and lively atmosphere. Conversely Palm Springs, also a desert resort,prohibits billboards in the City to create more formal resort feel. The proposed ordinance is part of an overall effort to accentuate Salt Lake City's physical environment by protecting views of the mountains and the eliminating unnecessary visual clutter. The proposed ordinance codifies a Salt Lake City policy closer to that of Palm Springs. Locations that ban electronic billboards(as reported by USA Today) include; Hawaii, San Francisco, Montana, Denver, Gilbert AZ,Pima County AZ,Amarillo TX,Ft. Worth,Dallas, Galveston, Houston, Austin, St Petersburg FL,Knoxville TN, Durham NC,Vermont, and Maine. Other cities in Utah that prohibit the construction of new billboards include Provo, Kaysville,Lehi and Park City, as well as newly incorporated cities such as Holladay and Cottonwood Heights. Finding: The proposed zoning text amendment is supported by general policy of increasing housing employment and tax revenue by discouraging the suppression of development on lots occupied by billboards. The proposed ordinance codifies a desire to eliminate visual clutter and to accentuate the physical characteristic of Salt Lake City's physical setting. Petitions:400-06-51,PLNPCM2010-00032,PLNPCM2010-00717 Published Date: Februaryl8,2011 " — 6 Summary Staff is recommending the postponement of a decision regarding Petition 400-06-51,transit shelter advertising, in order to allow further analysis of the issues. Staff is recommending that the Planning Commission forward a positive recommendation to the City Council regarding the adoption of an ordinance that codifies petitions PLNPCM2010-00032 and PLNPCM2010-00717 and accomplishes the following: Eliminates the billboard bank: O State Law allows billboards to move within the general vicinity of their existing sites and billboard companies often own the land or easements on many of the sites that are conflicting with neighborhoods. O Billboard companies have expressed an interest in maintaining existing distribution throughout the City (which means maintaining them east of I-215 where all residential areas are located), O Therefore the premise of encouraging the movement of billboards out of neighborhoods into manufacturing area has been undermined and the Billboard Bank is no longer effective for its original intended purpose of moving billboards out of residential areas into less conflicting areas of the City. The three year banking period has been eliminated o Billboards will be expected to be relocated to a new area when they are removed from an old area, with no time lapse, otherwise they are deemed removed. Still allows for relocation. O The ordinance allows for relocation to Manufacturing and select General Commercial zoning districts (but not on gateways streets or within 600 feet of residential zoning) for those instances where billboards may wish to move. o The proposed ordinance actually increases the geography of where billboards may move by opening the entire west side Manufacturing areas (west of I-215)to billboard relocation (excluding gateway streets). Adds several new gateway streets: O 5600 West,7200 West and the proposed Mountain View Corridor freeway were added as gateways because the general area was opened for billboards. Billboards have not been allowed on these streets in the past. They are now classified as Gateway Streets because the new ordinance would allow billboards in adjacent Manufacturing zoning districts. O The 900 South off-ramp was added for clarification(I-15 is already a gateway) Eliminates special gateways: O Special Gateways previously allowed for limited billboard movement on several select streets. O Policy changes, such as prohibiting billboards as part of the North Temple Plan, have altered the concept of special gateways. Defines electronic billboards; O The ordinance includes a definition and detailed requirements for electronic billboards in the event that existing boards are relocated or new ones are authorized for external reasons. • Petitions:400-06-51,PLNPCM2010-00032,PLNPCM2010-00717 Published Date: FebniarylS,2011 7 Prohibits electronic billboards: © The proposed ordinance prohibits the construction of new electronic billboards(the City presently has 6 electronic billboards—three of which are in dispute) Options for the Planning Commission to consider: • Recommending adoption of the ordinance with a statement to the City Council that the Planning Commission will continue with further review of the issue. Recommend expanding or reducing the zoning districts where billboards are allowed to move. Recommend that billboards be allowed to convert to electronic billboards in those zoning districts where billboards are allowed to relocate. Recommend that static billboards may be converted to electronic billboards with the removal of equal or greater square footage of the static billboard being converted(or provide cash in lieu of removal in the event that there are no static billboards available for removal).

These petitions will be further considered on the October 26th: PLNPCM2010-00032: Zoning Text Amendment,Billboards-A request by Salt Lake City Mayor Becker for a zoning text amendment to address outdoor billboards.The proposed amendment would update current regulations for outdoor billboards to make them consistent with State law.The text amendment would affect all zoning districts. PLNPCM2010-00717: Zoning Text Amendment,Electronic Billboards-A request by Salt Lake City Mayor Becker for a zoning text amendment to address electronic billboards. Currently,the City Zoning Ordinance does not address electronic billboards. The text amendment would affect all zoning districts. The Planning Commission's discussion primarily focused on the following items: 9. The proposed regulation of dwell time for electronic signs and the different needs for on-and off-premise advertising. The Planning Commission requested a recommendation for a display period for electronic signs in relationship to the size of the sign. 10. The proposed regulation regarding hours of operation for electronic signs. The language considered would require certain electronic signs to be turned-off between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. 11. The regulation of the brightness of electronic signs and enforcement issues. The Commission discussed the issue of how to document and monitor the brightness of electronic signs and who should pay the associated cost. The sign industry and some business owners raised concerns about proposed regulation regarding animation or continuous motion however such animation or continuous motion is already prohibited by the existing city ordinance. Staff has not received any direction to change the existing regulation that prohibits animation. Staff recommends not changing the prohibition of animation on electronic signs regulation. The difficulty in regulating signs is there is no inherent right or wrong answer. While traffic safety is a legitimate issue to consider when regulating signs,these regulations generally reflects a community value. Businesses inherently want more attention and the pressure is to make a bigger,brighter,more visible sign than the neighboring .+ ,, business. Some communities have encouraged this natural market pressure to turn signs into a community statement. Others have chosen to level the playing field to insure that all advertisers have equal opportunity but at a lower scale. For example Sandy and South Jordan have opted to discourage pole signs in favor of monument signs in order to maintain a community image, while South Salt Lake and Salt Lake County are generally much more profuse in their signage allowance than other jurisdictions in the valley. Consistency in regulation and ease of enforcement are critical factors. Discussion 1. Dwell time and Size: The Planning Commission requested a differentiation of electronic signs based upon the size of the sign, with the understanding that a large sign can already provide a plethora of information,while a small sign may need to change messages more often to convey information. A review of the existing sign code indicates several ranges of sign size. • Most billboards are 275 square feet or larger(the largest being approximately 675 square feet) • Most zoning districts allow pole or monument signs of 100 square feet or smaller(some residential district are as small as 24 square feet) • Shopping center(combined tenant) signs allowed up to 300 square feet and roof signs downtown can be very large(based upon the linear frontage of the building) A logical break may be at 250 square feet and up for large signs which would include all billboards and larger shopping center signs. Another break between 100 square feet and 250 square feet for medium signs Small signs less than 100 square feet. Recommendation: • All electronic signs larger than 250 square feet and/or located on freeways are limited to the 8 second dwell time standard. • Electronic Signs between 100 and 250 square feet may have a 5 second dwell time. • Electronic Signs smaller than 100 square feet may have a 3 second dwell time. • The twirl time for all electronic signs is limited to a maximum of 0.25 seconds. 2. Display Period: The proposed ordinance would require electronic signs in certain zoning districts to be turned off between midnight and 6 am,unless the business remains open during those hours.This standard is based upon residential impacts.The proposed display period regulation only applies to businesses that are closed between midnight and 6:00 a.m.; if the business is open during this time period,the sign remains lit. The Planning Commission may wish to discuss specific zoning districts in which this standard might be applied based on the potential impact on residential property. For example: signage in residential zoning districts is the most impactful to residential development, signs have less negative impact on mixed-use districts, for example. The Neighborhood Commercial, Community Business, or Community Shopping Center zoning districts were included in the original draft because they are generally mapped in close proximity to residential areas, however the 600 foot proximity requirement may adequately address the issue without specifically listing CN and CB. The Downtown, Sugar House Business District, and Gateway districts, were included in the original draft because of,, their inclusion and encouragement of housing. However, one could also argue that residents in those zoning districts should be aware of the commercial nature of the district. The Planning Commission has options ranging from: • Not requiring specific electronic signs to be turned off at night. • Only requiring certain electronic signs within 600 feet of residential and/or mixed-use zoning districts to be turned off at night. • Adoption of the ori&al language. Staff can adjust the inclusion or elimination of zones as per Planning Commission request. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the Planning Commission includes a requirement that electronic signs be turned-off between midnight and 6:00 a.m.(if the store is closed)in areas within 600 feet of a residential zoning district. 3. Controls: Enforcement of electronic signs is probably one of the most difficult enforcement issues in the City. Electronic signs are some of the easiest items to exploit. A simple speeding-up of a message or increasing brightness to gain advantage over a competitor is easily done with simple programming changes. This proposed regulation was written to insure initial requirements are consistent across the board and to insure the industry polices itself. The Planning Commission raised costs as an issue for small businesses at the September 28,2011 meeting; however City enforcement has also raised this as a major issue. The primary question seems to be who should be responsible for the costs of increased enforcement caused by electronic signs. The proposal,as written, places the burden on those who elect to install an electronic sign as opposed to the general City taxpayer. Staff believes that the costs of increased enforcement should be part of the cost of having the benefit of an electronic signs. Recommendation: Staff recommends the retention of the language as written in the original proposal. Staff additionally recommends: • Roof signs may not be electronic due to the placement on the skyline. • Electronic signs be prohibited in Historic Districts,unless specifically waived by the Historic Landmark Commission; because electronic signs generally do not meet historic guidelines • Electronic signs in the A Airport district be allowed to occupy 100%of the sign face as previously outlined at the September 28 meeting The following documents are attached: o The draft ordinance discussed at the September 28, 2011 meeting. o A redlined version of the September 28 draft, submitted by YESCO • Recommended Night-time Brightness levels,from the International Sign Association f Discussion Draft Proposal which eliminates billboard bank, defines electronic on- premise signs and billboards and defines where billboards may be converted to electronic billboards. 21A.46.020: DEFINITIONS: A.Word Usage And Interpretation: 1.

I move that the Council refer action to a future Council meeting. 2. I move that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City to enter into a loan agreement with City Front Partners,LLC,to provide City Front with a$265,000 loan from the Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund to be used to convert existing retail space into six apartment units at the Citifront Apartment Project at 600 West North Temple,Salt Lake City,Utah. 3. I move that the Council not adopt a resolution authorizing the City to enter into a loan agreement with City Front Partners,LLC,to provide City Front with a$265,000 loan from the Salt Lake City Housing Trust Fund to be used to convert existing retail space into six apartment units at the Citifront Apartment Project at 600 West North Temple,Salt Lake City,Utah. NEW INFORMATION/WORK SESSION SUMMARY: During the December 6 work session briefing the Council asked staff to research how many ADA units were available in the Citifront apartment complex,and how many of these units were being rented by individuals with a disability. As of deadline to have information finalized for the Council packets,answers to these questions were not yet available. Staff will have them ready for the briefing on December 13.2011. The following information was provided previously for the Council Work Session on December 6.2011. It is provided again for background purposes.

The units will range in size from 518 to 769 sq ft. The space is located on the ground level of the west side of the Citifront Apartment community. 1 • City Front Partners has found it difficult to rent the retail space at this location, (600 West North Temple) and it has created a cash flow problem. • The six (6) units would be rented at 80% of median income. • By converting the retail space into apartments, the total unit count will be 161. o 9 units at 50%AMI o 87 Units at 60%AMI o 6 Units at 80%AMI o 59 Units at Market Rate • The Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of this loan request with the following stipulation: o The entire loan amount of$265,000 will be tied to a cross default clause in the contract stating that should City Front Partners LLC default on any one of their current city note obligations, that all notes will be considered in default • Mayor Becker reviewed this issue and recommended approval of the loan as approved by the Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board. • The Council may wish to clarify whether there are land use policy issues that should be discussed in relation to this request pertaining to mixed-use at this location. o Citifront will still maintain 9,500 sq ft of retail space. o The grocery mart will stay in place. • COUNCIL PROCESS: o December 6, 2011 Work Session Briefing o December 13, 2011 Potential Council Action 2 \OE:,S CI) Discussion Draft Proposal which eliminates billboard bank, defines electronic on- premise signs and billboards and defines where billboards may be converted to electronic billboards. 21 A.46.020: DEFINITIONS: A.Word Usage And Interpretation: 1.

EMCs are not digital billboards,which advertise a good or service that is located away from where the sign is located.Rather,EMCs are digital signs that are located on thepr•rnrises of the business,and that advertise goods and services that are provided at the location. — r mg ., r- =M— �..._ .;ram S 4 �et s�Y ..4�.

EMCs that are too bright at night can be offensive and ineffective.EMC brightness at night is an issue where sign users,the sign industry,and the planning community have a common goal:ensuring that EMCs are appropriately legible.

As a result of this research,the recommended night-time brightness level for on premise Ejl'Cs is 0.3 foot candles above ambient light conditions when measured at an appropriate distance. This is a lighting level that works in theory and in practice. The research and the recommendations contained in this report pertain only to EMMCs,nor traditionally internally illuminated signs,such as these channel letter and neon signs below.EMC's use a different lighting technology than most of these types of signs,and as such the scientific approach differs. *-..,u''.'44*':;}.:0-!1,t:i,:ii:,`i-41,'-m.:.:-....

Commissioners Angela Dean, Babs De Lay and Kathleen Hill were excused 6:08:23 A Briefing on the Billboard Ordinance was given by staff Senior Planner Doug Dansie. Mr. Dansie gave a Power Point Presentation that was recorded as part of the channel 17 broadcast of the Planning Commission Meeting, a brief summary of the presentation follows. 1) Existing policy 2) Changes in state law since adoption of 1993 law 3) Specifics of the new petition 4) Conflicting ideologies 5) Criticism of existing law 6) Policy questions a. Does City still want to keep billboards out of neighborhoods? b. Does City still wish to keep gateways clean? c. Does City wish to still prohibit boards in Downtown or Mixed use areas i. Is a Time Square feasible d. Does City still wish to reduce overall numbers? e. Are the regulations for non-electronic boards adequate f. Should conversion to electronic be allowed? g. What are appropriate regulations for either on-or off-premise electronic signs Mr. Dansie asked for direction from the Planning Commission. Commissioner Fife stated that he believed that we did not need electronic billboards or any additional signage. Commissioner Woodhead asked if it was possible to respond by email. Planning Director Sommerkorn responded that it was possible to do an online forum. Commissioner McHugh was concerned that we were starting a creating a problem to save a problem by moving billboards. Commissioner Fife stated that the freeway was resembling Las Vegas and changed the view of the City. Commissioner Gallegos stated that he had difficulty putting harsh restrictions on an existing industry without having a forum. Commissioner Luke asked what the main objective was, and asked if the Commission was getting rid of billboards because they do not like them. He stated that there were bigger problems with the beautification of the gateways than the billboards. Mr. Dansie answered that the issues were interrelated. He asked if there was a way to give the billboard industry incentive to change their billboard types. Commissioner Luke stated it was a legitimate point, but noted that he felt that restrictions would hinder the process and exacerbate the issue. Commissioner Woodhead added that she was not a great fan of billboards, however, State law created the parameters that made the decision more difficult. She asked how to make the ordinance work in a way that would not be disruptive to development. Commissioner Woodhead stated that she would like to see a reduction in the number of billboards. Commissioner Gallegos stated that he felt that there were several steps to this process, and to look at this in preliminary steps and then work together to create a whole ordinance. Mr. Sommerkorn stated that there were a number of billboards in Salt Lake City and they are not going away. He stated that they decisions need to be made as where to place other billboards, and to create a compromise with the industry. Commissioner Luke stated that if the new location was not desirable, the industry would not be willing to move their billboards. He stated that visual blight was as important as any issue related to the billboards, and if that was the true issue, it needed to be addressed. Commissioner Fife stated that the issue was to make better the City. Commissioner Luke stated that he felt that the City and the Industry proposals are too far apart and without co operation, this argument would be continued year after year. Commissioner McHugh stated that she would like to the City be able to make money off of billboards using the law of diminishing returns; she suggested that the City needed to make an incentive of enough money to move off the parcels where we could have developments instead of billboards. Commissioner Drown asked what amount of the ordinance was grandfathered and could not be changed. Planning Director Sommerkorn stated that many of the billboards we had in Salt Lake City were non conforming billboards and did not comply with our ordinance. He stated that the idea was to get the billboards out of the areas we did not want them and move them to areas to allow them to go into places that we feel are appropriate. He felt that there would be no change without negotiation. Commissioner Woodhead stated that the Commission had been notified of what the industry wanted. Planning Director Sommerkorn stated another big issue was electronic signage, and asked how the City should deal with that. Will we allow electronic billboards and where. He noted that it would probably have to address all types of electronic billboards. The Commissioners discussed the idea of the forum and stated that they would appreciate it. Planning Director encouraged interaction in a public, transparent way. Mr. Dansie added that many cities within the state had opted to say no to billboards and allow the default be state law. Commissioner Luke stated that he felt that was premature. Commissioner Fife stated that he believed that the Commission was to represent the interest of the citizens of Salt Lake. Commissioner Wirthlin stated that although he did not represent any specific area, he was working toward the betterment of the City. SALT LAKE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING In Room 326 of the City & County Building 451 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah Wednesday, June 22, 2011 Present for the Planning Commission meeting were: Acting Chair, Matthew Wirthlin, Commissioners Babs De Lay, Emily Drown, Charlie Luke, Susie McHugh, and Mary Woodhead. Chair Michael Fife, Vice Chair Angela Dean, and Commissioners Michael Gallegos and Kathleen Hill were excused. 5:35:20 Work Session 5:40:19 Senior Planner Doug Dansie led a discussion on Billboards and signs. Mr. Dansie stated that there had been a briefing regarding this issue on May 25, 2011. He asked the Commissioners the following questions: 8) Should billboards be allowed to move with state law being the default, or should the City still have some receiving zone beyond state law? If the City has a receiving zone, where should it generally be located (industrial areas, neighborhood areas, etc.)? (At the May 25 meeting the Planning Commission indicated that they were interested in not letting State law be the default) e) Allow movement to any non-residential zone? f) Receiving zone in CG General Commercial or M Manufacturing zones? g) Move to CG or M zones with conditions? h) Other? • Mr. Dansie stated that whatever decision that would be made would not be a replacement for State Law. The City Ordinance would determine location and would allow relocation without having to negotiate the individual board. 9) Should electronic conversions be allowed? If so where? f) Allowed? g) Allowed only in non-residential zones? h) Allowed only in CG and M zones? i) Allowed with conditions (i.e. removal of non-conforming or other boards)? j) Other? Commissioners' response: Commissioners McHugh and Woodhead both felt that d would be their preference to allow boards in certain zones and under certain conditions. . , Commissioner Luke stated that he preferred b, allowed in non-residential zones. Commissioner Wirthlin stated that he would like to see honest input from the industries if incentives would have made a difference. 3. Should conversion be based upon one to one square footage ratio or based upon a higher ratio; or a combination of the two, depending on what boards are being converted? e) One to one? f) Two to one? g) Higher than two to one? h) One to one if the board is being removed from residential (or neighborhood commercial) zones and higher if being removed from other zones? i) Other? Commissioners' response: Commissioner De Lay stated that she did not feel that there had been enough information regarding a square foot ratio trade off to make a decision. Mr. Dansie asked for clarity on what level of trade the Commissioners would be comfortable with. 11114, Commissioners Wirthlin and Woodhead suggested that a 2:1 ratio would be a good start. Commissioner Drown asked if when something is converted, theoretically from the standard billboard to an electronic billboard, the billboard would be taxed at a higher rate. Mr. Dansie responded that if the value of the structure went up, it would be. Commissioner Drown asked if the tax was based on the fact that an electronic billboard can change multiple times, which would increase its profitability. Mr. Dansie replied that it was based on the value of the structure. Planning Manager Joel Paterson added that the structure for an electronic board would be more expensive than a regular board and clarified that billboards are taxed as personal property and not real property. Mr. Dansie made it clear that the industry does pay income and sales tax. 4.) Should boards that are non-conforming for specific reasons (spacing, residential location, etc.) be allowed to convert? d) Allow all to convert? e) Do not allow non-conforming boards to convert? f) Other? . , Commissioners' response: Mr. Dansie clarified that this was for electronic conversion. Commissioner Woodhead stated that the answer should be "b", no. She stated that was the point of non conforming. That would be contravention of what the City though the policy was, about where they should be and allowing them to convert made them more likely to stay where they were. Commissioner Wirthlin agreed. 5.) Should Gateway provisions be preserved as is or should they be modified to more effectively encourage the removal of certain boards (such as those on 500 and 600 South)? Should movement and/or conversion be targeted or at least be "like for like"? d) Eliminate gateways? e) Allow conversion on freeways if non-conforming or on-ramp boards are removed? f) Other? Commissioners' response: Commissioner Wirthlin asked if the Planning Commission still was in favor of Gateways. Commissioner Woodhead asked if it would be possible to trade Gateways to the West side of the freeway. Mr. Dansie responded that staffs intention was to trade Gateways for Gateways, to trade "like" for"like". Commissioner Wirthlin stated that this had been long standing City policy, and he did not see the City walking away from the Gateway idea. Commissioner De Lay and Wirthlin suggested that "b" allowing conversions on freeways if non-conforming or on boards removed from freeway ramps was the best suggestion. Commissioner Wirthlin asked Mr. Dansie asked if there were other high priority billboards to remove that could be added to the suggestions of 500 and 600 South. Mr. Dansie responded that 600 North 900 South off ramp, residential boards, or CN boards could be added. He asked the Planning Commission if they would want to see a non-conforming board on a crowded commercial street. Commissioner De Lay stated that if there were fewer boards on residential streets then absolutely. Commissioner Luke said he felt the chances of compromise were greater if the industry had more options. Mr. Dansie responded that out of the six residential billboards in the City, four were located on land owned by the billboard company, and one was for sale. Therefore, if the billboard company owns the sign and the land there would be less incentive for them to move. Commissioner Luke offered that if there were other incentives, through conversion or otherwise, then the industry would potentially still change their mind. Mr. Dansie clarified that conversions, particularly on the freeway in exchange for removal of specific things elsewhere would be a good balance in order to remove the signs that they truly want removed, as opposed to just removing anything. Commissioner De Lay stated that she believed that the conversion to electronic boards would definitely be incentive enough for the billboard companies to move the residential signs. Mr. Dansie asked if the idea of moving billboards and allowing them to convert to electronic based upon a ratio and a priority system based on what signs are the most desirable to move first, would be acceptable. Commissioner De Lay asked if there was a list. 6.) Should urban design and/or removal of impediment to development be used as an incentive to the conversion process (require to be part of building architecture, etc.)? d) Do nothing? e) Allow conversion in Downtown or on Special Gateways if the new electronic board is part of the architecture? f) Allow conversion to electronic only if boards (residential, non-conforming, etc.) are removed first? g) Other? Commissioners' response: Mr. Dansie explained that his intention was that if a billboard was part of the architecture, they would allow an existing sign to convert to electronic. Commissioner Wirthlin stated that he felt that had possibilities and asked for a draft to look at. 7.) Direction regarding electronic signage in general (interactive, timing, size, location, etc.) f) Should there be limits on size depending on zoning district? g) Should the percentage of the sign that is electronic be limits? h) Should there be limits on motion - animation? i) Limits on lettering size for readability - are there legal issues? j) Other? Mr. Dansie stated that whatever decision that would be made would not be a replacement for State Law. The City Ordinance would determine location and would allow relocation without having to negotiate the individual board. `'Commissioner response: Commissioner De Lay stated that in regard to "a" there should be limits on size, regarding "b" seemed to be that they should be entirely electronic or not electronic. Mr. Dansie stated that in fact, there were signs that had a large percentage that were fixed images, adding that this applied to on and off premise signage. He clarified that in CN zones, there could possibly be percentage restrictions on fixed versus electronic portions of signs. Commissioner De Lay asked if in regard to "c" was there not a prior ban on motion/animation. Mr. Dansie replied that that the issue was mostly in regard to on premise signs and that the ban needed to be explicitly stated. Commissioner Drown asked if there was a limit to how many electronic billboards could be within 500 feet. Mr. Dansie stated that there can only be one billboard every 500 feet, however, there is no limit to how many on premise signs that could be between them. He stated the issue would be the possibility of too many electronic signs with too much animation. Commissioner McHugh asked if animation could include live feed. Mr. Dansie stated that it was very limited to a television station. Mr. Dansie asked if the Planning Commission would be interested in limiting the size of lettering and readability. The Commissioners asked if there were any complaints regarding lettering size being distracting. Mr. Dansie responded that there had been and stated an example of a hospital sign in Sandy that said "look closer" forcing driving to look at small text. Commissioner Wirthlin stated that he appreciated the hard work that Mr. Dansie had put into this issue. Commissioner De Lay said that she hoped that there were methods being created to ensure enforcement on the new rules, and suggested that the City made sure that the billboard companies were paying accurate taxes. 6:30:31 Mr. Dansie led a discussion regarding Chapter 21A.59 Conditional Building and Site Design Review process. Mr. Dansie gave a presentation that was recorded as part of the Channel 17 broadcast of the Planning Commission meeting. The following points were made by Mr. Dansie: • 1995 Salt Lake City rewrote the zoning code. Form based zoning was used where the zoning code defined what a building would look like and focused less on the use. • 2005 a Walkable Communities Ordinance that included more design issues. • Present intent, to remove anything that was not a "use" and create a new section and new process for site design. SALT LAKE CITY PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING In Room 326 of the City & County Building 451 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah Wednesday, September 28, 2011 Present for the Planning Commission meeting were Chair Michael Fife, Vice Chair, Angela Dean, Commissioners, Babs De Lay, Kathleen Hill, Michael Gallegos, Matthew Wirthlin and Mary Woodhead. Commissioner Emily Drown, and Charlie Luke, were excused Public Hearings PLNPCM2010-00032: Zoning Text Amendment, Billboards - A request by Salt Lake City Mayor Becker for a zoning text amendment to address outdoor billboards. The proposed amendment would update current regulations for outdoor billboards to make them consistent with state law. The text amendment would affect all zoning districts. (Staff Contact: Doug Dansie at 801-6182 or doug.dansie@slcgov.com) PLNPCM2010-00717: Zoning Text Amendment, Electronic Billboards - A request by Salt Lake City Mayor Becker for a zoning text amendment to address electronic billboards. Currently, the City Zoning Ordinance does not address electronic billboards. The text amendment would affect all zoning districts. (Staff Contact: Doug Dansie at 801- 6182 or doug.dansie(a slcgov.com) Chairperson Fife recognized Doug Dansie as staff representative. Mr. Dansie stated that staff had received a lot of emails in the prior 24 hours. Mr. Dansie stated he would like to clarify the difference between electronic billboards and on- and off- premise signs. Mr. Dansie stated that most emails received were in regard to on-premise signage.He summarized some of the comments, which were: "We purchased our sign with the intent to use full animation," Mr. Dansie answered that animation had not been allowed on any sign in Salt Lake City in any zone since 1995. He said that animation had been prohibited in specific zones as far back as 1955. Commissioner De Lay asked why animation was on so many signs. Mr. Dansie stated that it was not a change in policy, and the issue with the existing signs was an enforcement issue. The City has active enforcement actions against some of the most egregious violations, specifically on-premise signs that are advertising things off- premise. Mr. Dansie reiterated that these items were not a change in policy. Animation had not been allowed for 16 years. Mr. Dansie read a comment that questioned the eight second hold time. He said that he believed that there was confusion from many of the letter writers that assumed that the eight second hold time was a maximum hold time, when in reality it was a minimum hold time. Mr. Dansie added that the eight seconds was an industry standard, and that was the rational for its usage. Mr. Dansie addressed the concern that the changes would render the business owners . investment obsolete. He answered that the City was not banning electronic signs, but rather defining the parameters. A concern was that the steady burn of the LED's would accelerate the need to repair the sign or replace the signs. Mr. Dansie clarified that the eight second hold time came from the industry, so the logic was that it would not create an unexpected increase in any repair. Mr. Dansie stated another concern was that the changes would damage the ability to use the sign in the manner that was initially intended. Mr. Dansie responded that animation has not been a permitted use for 16 years. Mr. Dansie added that there was criteria in the ordinance for electronic changeable copy that was written in the 1970's to deal with lights. the ordinance as it currently stands, says that the image has to become visible "in full" in three seconds. The reason was that cars would not slow down or speed up in accordance to the change of the signs. This ordinance was written to allow the message to be up and readable and not have multiple messages. Another email asked the City to not treat on- and off-premise signs in the same fashion. It asked that all of the regulation regarding on-premise signs be eliminated with the exception of the criteria for the brightness. Mr. Dansie stated that off-premise signs are not the same as on-premise signs, every business needs to have a sign, they do not necessarily need a billboard. The Supreme Court has backed that decision. Mr. Dansie added that he received an email from the Airport, requesting that all of their signs be allowed to be 100% electronic signs. Mr. Dansie discussed public safety and electronic signs. Mr. Dansie discussed off-premise signage. He discussed the difference between gateway and special gateways. Special gateways consist of State Street, Main Street, 400 South, and North Temple Street. Historically these gateways function as a closed bank, meaning billboards could not be imported or exported, but billboards could be moved around within the special gateway. Other gateways are freeways, and Foothill Blvd. Four categories were created out of these two items to better address individual needs. Mr. Dansie stated that the City would allow relocation according to State and Federal law. Moves will be allowed to the general commercial and manufacturing zones with the exclusions. Mr. Dansie said that relocation would be limited in the Downtown and the Gateway zoning districts and on special gateway streets so that billboards could only be moved around if the sign is being converted to electronic and you are integrating into the architecture of a building. New billboards are prohibited;only relocation is allowed. Changeable copy is defined in terms of electronic billboards, spacing is clarified, and enforcement is clarified. Any billboard located in a residential, a CN or a CB zoning district, and all gateway streets, e.g., Foothill, those billboards could move to CG and M zoning districts and convert to electronic billboards on a 1 to 1 basis. The intent is to provide a bonus to move the billboards to less sensitive areas. Billboards that are presently in the CG and CS would be allowed to convert to electronic, but only if they remove an equivalent billboard elsewhere. Mr. Dansie said that billboards on freeways would be allowed to convert to electronic, but only if they remove an equivalent amount of square footage from a City entry e.g., 5th and 6th South Off-ramps, or a boulevard street or in the residential or neighborhood commercial areas. From the direction of the Planning Commission, the geographic area was expanded. Special gateway streets could be converted to electronic if they remove an non-complying billboard square footage on a 2x1 basis. Special gateways consist of State Street, Main Street, 400 South and North Temple Street and if they integrate into the architecture of a building in the D-1 district. Questions from the Commissioners: Commissioner Wirthlin asked for clarification regarding on-premise electronic signs, specifically motion, brightness and size. He asked if the status quo was not being changed, but clarified. Mr. Dansie responded that was accurate. Commissioner Hill asked how many electronic signs were located within the City. Mr. Dansie said that there may be up to 90 electronic on-premise signs, but none should be affected by the change as long as they are in compliance. He stated that the only ones that would be effected would be the ones which were non-compliant. Deputy City Attorney Lynn Pace answered that the ordinance is prospective only. It would not affect any legal existing sign. If you have a legal sign that is different than the ordinance, it will not be impacted because the ordinance is not retroactive. Land Use Attorney Paul Nielson added that Commissioner Gallegos had recused himself from the item due to a conflict of interest. Comments from the Public The following people spoke in OPPOSITION to the ordinance, J. Michael Place, Western Nut Company; Robert Tingey, General Council Energy Solutions Arena; Jared Johnson, YESCO; Tye Dato, Daktronics, Inc; Jeff Young, YESCO; Paul Young, YESCO, Morgan Philpot, legal counsel, Reagan Signs; Dee Park, Jeff Krantz, Robert McIntyre, Kyle Deans, Tyler Steenblik, and Michael Wardle. The Following points were made: O Hold times of 8 seconds will significantly reduce our ability to communicate meaningful messages to our customers. o The message travel feature of signs is essential to conveying messages. O Advertising is an essential part of business success and cannot afford to substitute other means of communication in order to convey our full message and attract business. • Requiring that signs be turned off at night is unacceptable. • Sales prove the value of electronic signage. Any ordinance change that would diminish the effectiveness of our electronic sign would have a significant dilatory effect on our business, even potentially to the extent of forcing us to close our doors. • If a sign is small, and the words necessary to convey the message would not fit on the sign, it would require a purchase of a new, and larger sign in order to comply with the 8 second hold, this is not an acceptable requirement. • Annual reporting and brightness testing is absurd. It is expensive and unfair to small businesses. • The signs are not a safety issue, and no accidents have been attributed to many of the signs in question. • Signs were purchased with the intent and ability to use full animation. • A change to static images and hold times of 8 seconds will reduce the sign's value significantly. • This change would damage our ability to advertize our products and services as a business. • It would dramatically impact what and how we communicate to our customers, a free speech issue. • It would tend to weaken advertising impact, requiring additional investment in other advertising media • We reach hundreds/thousands of customers as we advertise overnight • Invested expense in current programming would be rendered obsolete • We have not seen any increase in accidents due to the sign at our place of business. • We have customers making positive comments about our sign all the time, they """'"''° don't have a problem with it. o The messages we want to communicate won't fit on our current sign unless we "travel" the message and/or change the text quickly. • If the words we want to use won't fit our sign, it could necessitate the purchase of a larger sign. o Expensive reprogramming would be required. • Annual reporting and brightness testing is an added expense we cannot afford to do. • Constant "steady burn" of diodes will shorten their useful life. • Steady burning of the LEDs would accelerate the need to repair the sign. U Steady burning of the LEDs would accelerate the need to replace the sign in the future. o It would damage our ability to use the sign in the way it was initially purchased. • It would damage our ability to use the sign as it has been operated since it was installed. o Converting to digital signs will be difficult. G The map needs clarification. Questions from the Commissioners: Chairperson Fife asked CED Frank Gray if he thought the amendments would harm small businesses. Mr. Gray detailed the City's purpose in amending this ordinance. Mr. Gray stated that as a community, we are very supportive of small business and the City is supportive of helping people find and locate the businesses they are seeking. The sign ordinance was constructed in such a way that businesses can be identified and located. Hundreds of millions of dollars a year are spent on roadways trying to make them safe, in that regard, the right signage, the right lanes, the right stop lights are all considered to make certain the safety of the citizens, and make sure their focus is on the road. These signs are intended to take the attention away from the road and read the sign. Mr. Gray stated that there was an exponential proliferation of electronic signs going on. The Boulevards are becoming confusing places where individual businesses are lost because so many people are trying to get the consumers attention. The purpose of the sign ordinance was to allow clear and specific identification of businesses, not to be advertising bulletin boards in a confusing morass that detracts from the safety of the City. Mr. Gray addressed the specifics of the difference between on- and off-premise signs and could there be differential standards. Mr. Gray stated that the change of the sign should be one for every car pass. Therefore, speed of the street and the change of the message could be joined together. Chairperson Fife asked if scrolling could be allowed. Mr. Gray answered that a scrolling sign is considered an animated sign, and therefore was not permitted. Commissioner De Lay asked how enforcement has been handled, and how many fines and tickets had been issued. Mr. Gray answered that the City enforces on a complain basis, when the complaint is made, the City investigates the violation and then works with the property owner to fix the violation. This is successful 80% of the time. Commissioner De Lay asked if the signs were then taken down. Mr. Gray responded that usually they were not animated any longer. Commissioner De Lay asked who did the enforcement and how many employees there were. Mr. Gray responded that there were eleven enforcement officers. Commissioner De Lay asked who would do the annual verification. Mr. Gray answered that the annual verification was the responsibility of the sign owner. The requirement would be a certificate issued at the time of installation, done by a registered lighting engineer. There will be a registered lighting engineer on call that could determine if there was a violation. Commissioner De Lay questioned the expectation of having a small business have to pay for a registered lighting engineer. Deputy City Attorney Lynn Pace added that State law requires a uniform illumination standard, regardless of what would be done with the animation and electronic issues, the lighting standard has to be uniform. There has to be an enforcement mechanism to follow up on complaints. Commissioner De Lay asked for data regarding safety issues and accidents regarding these signs. Mr. Gray responded that the City did not collect such data. The reason was because that was not what a police officer would ask. Vice Chair Dean was concerned about the differences in functionality and how to maintain fairness between on- and off-premise sign regulation and not hurt small businesses. Mr. Dansie replied that the ordinance as it is now, was created in part because of input that had been given during the whole process. The message was if the rules were for one, why weren't the rules the same for the other. The 8 second rule is based on the premise that if you drive by it once, you see the message once. Vice Chair Dean stated that the City did not want to encourage small businesses to trade in their small signs for large ones. She added that addressing the size issue was important in keeping signage subtle and not eye sores, while enabling small businesses to get their messages across. Commissioner Woodhead asked if it would be appropriate to send the ordinance back in order to get a matrix back based on sign size and dwell time for the on-premise signs. '"""' Deputy City Attorney Pace, said that distinguishing between locations in addition to sign size could be taken into consideration. He said that what the issue really was the electric sign technology and everyone trying to get attention for their sign. The value of having some uniformity is that it eliminates the competition of"one upping" each other on the street. The concern is that the distinctions are made depending on the character of the neighborhood and the safety of the motorists. Mr. Gray added that they would be happy to provide a matrix of type of street, size of sign, legibility of lettering, minimum and maximum, size of lettering. What percentage of sign could be electronic, and provide some standards. Vice Chair Dean asked for thoughts on separating the the standards for on- and off-premis signs in the ordinance. Mr. Dansie responded that separation was where the ordinance started out, but since the idea of fairness came into play, the Commission and Staff made a conscious decision of dealing with the whole electronics issue together. Mr. Pace added that this issue came before the legislature, and the legislature's response to this concern was to pass a bill that said that lighting standards have to be uniform. Vice Chair Dean asked about the grandfather clause. Amok Mr. Pace responded that the issue was unclear in the ordinance and that it would be fixed. " ' 7:23:03 Motion Commissioner Dean made the motion in regard to PLNPCM2010-00032 Zoning Text amendment, Billboards and PLNPCM2010-00717 based on the staff reports, testimony and presentation of staff, I move that the Planning Commission forward a positive recommendation to the City Council to approve supplementary zone text amendments associated with petitions PLNPCM2010- 00032 and PLNPCM2010-00717 as outlined in the draft ordinance. In addition, the airport zone will be added to the 100% category, and remove 7-c requirement for an annual report, and require an installation certificate to verify compliance with the ordinance, additionally upon complaint. Commissioner Woodhead seconded the motion. Vote: Commissioners De Lay, Hill, Wirthlin all voted "no", Commissioners Woodhead and Dean voted "aye". The motion failed. Commissioner Wirthlin commented that he felt that the Planning Commission was biting off more than it could chew with this ordinance. He stated that he did not feel that the ordinance accomplished what they had wanted it to. Commissioner Wirthlin felt that the issues should be separated and dealt with independently.

The project consists of converting approximately 3,500 square feet of existing retail space into six (6) apartment units ranging in size from 518 square feet to 768 square feet. STAFF CONTACT: LuAnn Clark, Housing &Neighborhood Development Director, at 535-6136 or luann.clark@slcgov.com ACTION REQUIRED: Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign a loan agreement with City Front Partners LLC. DOCUMENT TYPE: Resolution BUDGET IMPACT: None DISCUSSION: Issue Origin: City Front Partners LLC is requesting a loan to convert approximately 3,500 SF of existing retail space at the Citifront project into six (6) apartment units ranging in size from 518 to 768 SF. This space is located on the ground level west side of the Citifront apartment community. By converting the space, Citifront is still able to maintain 9,500 SF of retail space, plus improve upon Salt Lake City's affordable housing goals. Citifront currently contains 155 apartment units and 13,000 SF of retail space. To complete this project, City Front Partners LLC is asking for a $265,000 Housing Trust Fund loan at 2% interest for fifteen(15) years. 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 404 P.O. BOX 145466, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5486 TELEPHONE: B01.535-6230 FAX: S01-535.6005 WWW.SLCGOV.COM/CEO h nccrccc PnP[w The apartment community has performed well, averaging above 92% occupancy during its existence, and is currently over 95% occupied. Of the 155 units, 87 are designated to 60% of the median income, with nine units designated to 50% of median income and the remaining units at market rates. This plan would incorporate an additional six units on the ground level, west side, which would be rented at 80% of median income. The small grocery mart would stay in place and the two other tenants will be relocated to the retail space on the 600 West side of the building. Citifront was developed in 2001 under the Gateway District Master Plan and RDA. It is a mixed use development incorporating market rate and affordable apartment units, along with ground level retail space. Because of the lack of parking and the location of this 3,500 SF of retail, the leasing of such space has been extremely difficult and created a cash flow problem for the partners. By converting the retail space into apartments,the overall unit count will increase to 161 with nine units at 50%AMI, 87 units at 60%AMI, six units at 80%AMI (the units being converted), and 59 units at market rates. Independent of all other units, these six units will maintain a projected cash flow resulting in an NOI of$31,950 annually. This cash flow bolsters the projects overall returns, and better utilizes space that will otherwise sit vacant. Analysis: The project is currently encumbered by $11,855,532 of secured debt in first through fourth positions. Salt Lake City has a Housing Trust Fund loan with City Front Partners LLC in the amount of$1.5 million, and an RDA loan, both of which are in third and fourth positions. The $1.5 million loan is deferred and payments begin in September 2014. The loan funds would be used for the construction of the conversion from retail to apartment space. Recommendation: A. Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board's Recommendation On November 3, 2011, the Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board unanimously voted to recommend approval of this loan request with the following stipulations: 1. That the entire loan amount of$265,000 at 2%over 15 years will be tied to a cross default clause in the contract stating that should City Front Partners LLC default on any one of their current city note obligations, that all notes will be considered in default. B. Mayor's Recommendation Mayor Becker reviewed this issue on November 7, 2011 and recommended approval of the loan as approved by the Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board. RE: Citifront Apartment Retail Conversion Project Page 2 of 3 The City currently has $3,716,000 in the Housing Trust Fund and $564,259 in the RDA Housing Trust Fund. Funding this project from the Housing Trust Fund account would leave a fund balance of$3,451,000. PUBLIC PROCESS: The Housing Trust Fund Advisory Committee held a public meeting and reviewed this request on November 3, 2011.

Trust Fund Balances: RDA Housing Trust Fund--$564,259 Housing Trust Fund--$3,716,000 2 HOUSING TRUST FUND ADVISORY BOARD Meeting of November 3, 2011 The following board members were in attendance: Michael Brough, Stephanie Jensen, Rick Knuth, Elly Muth, Faina Raik, and Shawn Teigen. Staff members in attendance were LuAnn Clark, Director of Housing and Neighborhood Development, Michael Akerlow, Deputy Director of Housing and Neighborhood Development, Sandi Marler, CD Programs Administrator, Steven Akerlow, Housing Development Programs Specialist, and Jan Davis, Administrative Secretary. Chairperson Shawn Teigen called the meeting to order at 12:15 p.m. The Board unanimously motioned to approve the June 2, 2011 minutes. Shawn Teigen welcomed the Board members to the meeting. New Board member, Ms. Stephanie Jensen introduced herself and briefed the Board on her work experience. Consider a request from Volunteers of America, Utah for a HOME grant in the amount of$100,000 to acquire and renovate the group home located at 556 South 500 East. The project consists of renovating 12 units/14 beds of transitional housing for men ages 18-24 who are homeless. Ms. Kathy Bray, President & CEO of Volunteers of America, Utah was present to provide details and answer questions pertaining to the request. Ms. Bray said that the requested funds would assist their organization to develop a new transitional home for young homeless men. Ms. Bray said that the Salt Lake City Planning Commission approved the zoning conditional use permit and that they have secured a HUD grant for $833,000 to purchase and rehab the property. Ms. Bray said that the HTF funds will be used to help purchase and remodel the property. Ms. Bray stated that they have acquired funding from private foundations and individuals and that additional funding is being solicited. Ms. Bray said that the transitional home will consist of 12 units/14 beds and will be based on the transitional home for females currently being operated by VOA. Ms. Bray said that the VOA served over 1,000 homeless youth at their drop-in center in fiscal year 2010- 2011. Ms. Bray said that the transitional home will be staffed 24-hours per day/7 days a week focusing on education, employment, permanent housing and providing supervision, as many of them have no parental support. The Board inquired about the length of stay for the transitional housing. Ms. Bray said that based on the transitional home for females, lengths of stay vary. Some of the youth are in a better position to move forward toward self sufficiency in a few months and others stay closer to the two year maximum stay. The Board asked about the rehab of the property. Ms. Bray described the rehab that will consist of the property being handicap accessible by building a ramp on the front of the house and renovating the bathroom on the first floor to handicap accessible standards. The kitchen will be remodeled creating an open space into the dining area in the back of the house. A new air conditioning system will be installed. The Board asked why the VOA selected this house. Ms. Bray said that the house already exists as a boarding house with bedrooms and multiple bathrooms so there limited remodeling will be required for the transition. Ms. Bray said that the location is a plus as the TRAX station is two blocks north and there are bus lines available. The Board asked about the structure of the request as a grant and if the HTF Board is allowed to consider this as a grant. Ms. LuAnn Clark said that the HTF is allowed to consider approving a grant for the project. She pointed out that funding for this project will come from the City's HOME allocation. Ms. Clark said that most of the requests that are presented to the Board are for HTF dollars which are Non- Federal dollars. Ms. Clark reminded the Board that the annual review of HOME funds falls under their purview, and that based on the criteria of the request, the funds could be approved as a grant. Ms. Clark stated that they had recommended funding for affordable housing match funds from the City's HOME funds last December, to be set aside for special needs housing, like this project, throughout Salt Lake City. Ms. Clark indicated that the project will never cash flow and to be able to repay the loan but the project will be monitored with a restriction that if the VOA discontinues transitional housing at this site, the money would have to be repaid to the City. Ms. Clark stated that since this project has other HUD monies invested in it, funding the project with HOME dollars will not place additional federal restrictions on the project. The Board inquired about the homeless youth and their special needs. Ms. Bray briefed the Board on the needs of the homeless youth and how the transitional housing will provide the youth with long term stability and help prevent them from becoming part of the chronic homeless population. Ms. Bray said that the youth will be screened for housing at their Homeless Youth Resource Center and that they will be looking for youth who are ready to engage in education and employment. Rick Knuth motioned to approve the request as submitted for $100,000 in the form as a grant. Michael Brough seconded the motion. All voted "Aye." The motion passed. Consider a request from City Front Partners, LLC, for a loan in the amount of$300,000 at 2% over 15 years to convert retail space at the Citifront Apartments located at 600 West North Temple. The project consists of converting approximately 3,500 SF of existing retail space into six (6) apartment units ranging in size from 518 SF to 768 SF. Mr. David Galvan, from NeighborWorks Salt, one of the partners of City Front Partners, LLC, and Mr. Bernardo Flores, Architect, were present to provide details and answer questions pertaining to the request. Mr. Galvan stated that the Citifront apartments is a 155 unit mixed- income project on the corner of 600 West and North Temple. Mr. Galvan said that 87 units are 60% AMI, 9 units are 50% AMI, and the remaining units are market rate units. Mr. Galvan said that the property is located by the freeway, fronts North Temple, and is not favorable for retail use making it very difficult to lease. Mr. Galvan said that the retail space consists of 13,000 sq. ft. and City Front Partners is requesting to convert approximately 3,500 sq. ft. into residential housing at 80% AMI, leaving 9,500 square feet of retail space fully functional. The Board asked if the retail tenants agreed to be relocated. Mr. Galvan said that the tenants have agreed to be relocated. A discussion followed regarding the terms of the loan and that the loan would be in fifth position. The Board expressed concern regarding the fifth mortgage but agreed that the purpose of the loan is to provide the necessary funding for affordable housing. When the property was initially built, it was designed to have mixed-use with retail and residential space working together. Members of the Board asked if the conversion of retail space into residential space might be premature considering the development of the extended TRAX line and the significant upgrades toNorth Temple. Mr. Galvan said that the issue for retail has been and will continue to be no parking, particularly the retail units on North Temple. Mr. Galvan said this is a constant challenge for retail businesses. Mr. Galvan said that the residential component of the Citifront Apartments is very successful, but the retail has not worked. The Board inquired about the occupancy of the current 155 apartments. Ms. Sandi Marler stated that the apartments are currently 95% occupied. Mr. Galvan replied that the occupancy rate is consistent at the 95% level. The Board asked if the request could compromise the original intent of the plan. Mr. Galvan said that the property is zoned for mixed-use and that there is no on-going agreement stating that a specific percentage of retail use is required. Mr. Galvan indicated that there will still be retail space in the project. 2 Mr. Galvan said that the project meets the housing policies established by the City. The Board agreed that there is a strong rental market for people that cannot afford market rate rents. . Ms. Clark stated that there is the need for rental units for those with incomes between 60% and 80% of area median income in the community. The Board recognized that a cost of$44,000 per unit is very reasonable.. Ms. Marler stated that based on their proforma, City Front Partners does have the capability to pay back the loan regardless of the fact that this loan would be placed in the fifth position and reminded that Board that they are an affordable housing board and need to consider the needs of affordable housing, not just the loan position. Ms. Marler said that NeighborWorks, one of the City Front LLC partners, is one of the City's strongest partners and has done business with the City for 35 years. Mr. Galvan stated that he did not feel the added TRAX line would change the viability of retail projects when completed. Rick Knuth motioned to approve the request as presented for $265,000 at 2% over 15 years. The motion died due to lack of a second to the motion. The Board asked for an explanation pertaining to how the loan will be monitored. Ms. Clark said that the project is a tax credit project and will be monitored by the Utah Housing Corporation for 99 years. Board member Mr. Rick Knuth asked the Board if they would be willing to approve the project with a cross- collateralization of all the City obligations which currently hold third and fourth positions on the property title. This would mean that a default under one loan would create a default under all three City loans. Mr. Knuth said this would consolidate the three liens into one priority and if there was a default on any one, it would default under all. Ms. Clark said that the City's and RDA's loan is a deferred loan until 2014. The City deferred the loan because it was a new mixed-use project and a new type of project for the City.. Ms. Clark said that the City had believed in the project and that the additional rental income from the new project will provide more available cash flow to repay the $1.9 million loan. Ms. Clark explained that the original idea had been that the retail portion of the project would help the project cash flow but that had not been the case with this portion of the retail for the past 11 years. Ms. Clark asked the Board to look at the request as a tool for the applicant to repay the $1.9 million. Mr. Galvan said that NeighborWorks Salt Lake wanted available housing for the neighborhood and the community on that corner of North Temple by creating 155 affordable units. The Board agreed that the additional loan to convert the retail space to apartments would provide cash flow that the retail currently does not provided. Michael Brough motioned to approve a loan in the amount of$265,000 at 2% interest per annum over 15 years as presented with the condition that the loan be cross-defaulted to the City's and RDA's mortgages identified as the third and fourth mortgages with equal rights to default. Elly Muth seconded the motion. All voted "Aye." The motion passed. Update by LuAnn Clark LuAnn Clark said that Congress has not made a decision on the HOME and HOPWA funds so the Board will not meet in December. Ms. Clark said there will be a meeting scheduled probably the end of January to discuss HOME and HOPWA funding. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 1:31 p.m. 3 FUNDING APPLICATION SALT LAKE CITY HOUSING TRUST FUND Cover Sheet Project Name: Citifront Applicant/Organization: City Front Partners, LLC Mailing Address: 5295 South Commerce Drive, Suite 175 Murray, Utah 84107 Contact Person: Dan Stanger Phone Number: 801-201-7209 Fax Number: 801-284-5972 E-mail: dan(ctherocfund.com Federal Employee Identification Number 87-0666042 Project Name: Citifront Apartments and Retail Project Location: 600 West North Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84103 Amount Requested: $3007000 c:c Terms Requested: 15 Year Amortization/2.0% Interest Rate Please contact Steven Akerlow at 535-7115 if you have questions or need assistance completing this application. The application is typed in Microsoft Word and is available on disc. Project Description Part I 1. Describe the scope of the project (how many total units, how many affordable units, type of project, etc.). Please address how your project will be accessible/visit-able. Please attach site plan, floor plan, and elevation of your project, if available. The scope of this project is to convert approximately 3,500 sq. ft. of dysfunctional retail space to 6 apartment units ranging in size from 518 to 768 sq. ft., on the ground level, west side of the Citifront Apartment Community. Citifront currently contains 155 apartment units, and approximately 13,000 sq. ft. of retail space. The retail space has been difficult to lease since inception due to both the location and the construction in and around the North Temple area. SLNHS and Bridge Development subsidize this space under a master lease required by the lender. This takes away from cash that could be put to use for other community services. The apartment community has performed well, averaging above 92% occupancy during its existence, and currently over 95% occupied. Of the 155 units, 87 are designated to 60% of median income, with 9 units designated to 50% of median income, and the remainder rented at market rates. The plan would incorporate an additional 6 units on the ground level, west side, which would be rented at 80% of median income, giving the property and the neighborhood a nice income and rental mix. The small grocery mart would stay in place on this side, and the two other tenants, currently in this space, would be relocated to the retail space on the 600 West side of the building, providing better parking, access, and synergy to the retail frontage on 600 West. The project is accessible via both North Temple and 600 West (see attached site plan and floor plans — Exhibit 1). 2. Does the project conform to the City's Master Plans for the area? Please indicate which master plan(s). Briefly restate the master plan objectives the project will meet. Citifront was developed under the Gateway District Master Plan and RDA. It is a mixed use development incorporating market rate and affordable apartment units, along with ground level retail space. It is our belief that both components meet the objective of the master plan, but more appropriate sizing would be desirable related thereto. 3. What is the property zoned? Gateway Mixed Use 4. All new construction projects will need to be reviewed by the appropriate Community Council. Please provide a copy of the Community Council's response to the review of your project. Since Citifront is an existing development with both uses continuing, it was not felt that this needed to be reviewed by the Community Council. However, the developer is prepared to do so, if needed. 7 5. Please include a breakdown of the number of units that will be provided for the various percentages of area median income (i.e., how many units for those at 80%, 50% AMI, etc.), along with a list of the rents that will be charged to each group. The conversion of this retail space to apartment units will increase the unit count to 161, with 9 units 50% AMI, 87 units @ 60% AMI, 6 units @ 80% AMI (the units being converted), and 59 units at market. Attached as Exhibit 2 is the rental rate schedule for the various floor plans, and relative affordability factor described above. 6. How will the project be accomplished if the Salt Lake City Trust Fund is unable to fund this request? Funding of this project will be difficult without the Trust Fund due to the secured mortgages that currently exist on the site, and the current credit markets. 7. How do you intend to use funds provided by Salt Lake City Corporation?We intend to use the funds for hard costs related to Architectural, Engineering, Remodel of the 6 units, and tenant improvements for the tenant relocation. No funds will be used for soft costs related to this project. 8. Are there tenants currently living in the project? Will they be able to remain in the project once it has been completed? Please explain how the tenants will be affected by the project and the steps you have taken to deal with their issues. The current space is retail, with two tenants. We will relocate the existing tenants on site. 9. How many square feet will the project contain? Please describe how the project will meet the requirements of LEED Standards in City Funded Construction (Chapter 18.95 adopted in 2006), or National Green Build Standards if the project is for new construction or major renovation of a multi-family residential building that will contain more than 10,000 square feet. All units are designed to be energy and noise efficient, including appliances, heating and air conditioning systems. The project contains approximately 3,500 sqft as identified on Exhibit 1. 10. If you have applied for tax credits or bond financing for this project, have you received notification that your application was approved? If so, please provide the date of approval; if not, please provide the date the decision will be made. We have not applied for bond financing.

Below are the answers to the questions. • How many ADA units are in the project? o The Citifront Apartments have five ADA units. (Luann checked in with Building Services;the project needed to have four ADA units. So they have an extra ADA unit.) • How many are rented to disabled individuals? o Of the five ADA units, one is occupied by a person with a disability. • Are new units required to build to "visitability" standards? o LuAnn confirmed with Orion that units built under the current code meet the visitability requirements. • What are Visitability Standards? o At least one no-step entrance o Doors and hallways wide enough to navigate through (minimum 32-inches) o A bathroom on the first floor big enough to get into in a wheelchair, and close the door(This standard was mentioned in some, but not all websites) • When is it required to build to visitability standards—apartments, condos, single family? o Construction of new multi-family units are required to follow the International building code (IBC) and the code requires these items. o The IBC does not require these items for new construction of single family homes or for units being rehabilitated. MEMORANDUM DATE: December 8,2011 TO: City Council Members FROM: Russell Weeks RE: Proposed Actions Pertaining to Resolutions Adopting a Final Budget for the Capital Projects Fund of the Local Building Authority of Salt Lake City and to Purchase Land the Glendale Branch of the Salt Lake City Library CC: Cindy Gust-Jenson,David Everitt,Linda Hamilton,Dan Mule,Ed Rutan,Neil Lindberg,Gina Chamness,Helen Langan,Luann Clark,Jennifer Bruno,Gordon Hoskins,Marina Scott,Boyd Ferguson,Karen Halladay,Kay Christensen This memorandum pertains to City Council consideration,as the Local Building Authority of Salt Lake City,of motions to resolutions that would adopt a final budget for the Local Building Authority's Capital Projects Fund and authorize the purchase of land for the Glendale Branch Library at 1365 and 1395 South Concord Street(1250 West)and 1224 West 1400 South. The City Council held a public hearing on the tentative budget for Capital Projects Fund on December 6.In previous meetings and at the public hearing the suggested tentative budget for the fund was$615,000.The purchase price of the land is$591,639 plus$750 closing costs,and$5,100 in a pro- rated share of property taxes. The Local Building Authority is the mechanism to finance construction of the planned Glendale and Marmalade branch Libraries. POTENTIAL MOTIONS The following motions are intended to address all Local Building Authority of Salt Lake City business listed on the City Council's meeting agenda for December 13.The Council meeting agenda contains to Local Building Authority items:Item D-3—a resolution adopting the final budget for the Capital Projects Fund for Fiscal Year 2011-2012 and Item G-5—a resolution authorizing the purchase of property 1365 and 1395 South Concord Street(1250 West)and 1224 West 1400 South for the Glendale Branch Library. • I move that the City Council recess and convene as the Local Building Authority of Salt Lake City Board of Directors to consider resolutions listed as Item D-3 on the Potential Action Items section of the City Council agenda,and Item D-5 in Unfinished Business section of the City Council Agenda. 1 • I move that Board of Directors adopt a resolution adopting the final budget for the .� Capital Project Fund of the Local Building Authority of Salt Lake City,Utah,for the remainder of the fiscal year beginning July 1,2011 and ending June 30,2012. • I move that the Board of Directors adopt a resolution authorizing the Local Building Authority to purchase land for the Glendale Branch of the Salt Lake City Library, approving the expenditure of Authority funds for such a purchase,and authorizing the Mayor or his designee to sign a purchase contract and other necessary documents related to the purchase of such land. • I move that the Board of Directors adjourn as the Local Building Authority of Salt Lake City and reconvene as the Salt Lake City Council. Items below this sentence are intended as background information and are taken from previous City Council staff memoranda on this issue. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION BRANCH LIBRARIES The City Council in June 2009 adopted a motion to increase property tax revenue by$560,000 a year for the Salt Lake City Library Fund to pay for: • General operations of the Salt Lake City Public Library System. • Building one new branch library with a sales tax bond. • Funding planning for the Glendale Branch Library. • Funding a planning process for the Marmalade Branch Library. The motion included a legislative intent statement indicating the City Council's intention to fund, plan and build the Glendale and Marmalade branch libraries. The City Council in June 2011 adopted a budget for the Library Fund that also included a property tax increase that was projected to raise$645,000 a year.The increase was targeted to be used to pay annual debt service for bonds issued to build the Marmalade Branch Library.The City Council deferred a decision for a year on increasing property taxes again to pay the operating costs for the Glendale and Marmalade branch libraries. The property tax increases in 2009 and 2011 were adopted based on a projected estimate that it would cost about$8.2 million to build and stock the Glendale Branch Library and about$8.9 million to build and stock the Marmalade Branch Library. The projected cost of the Glendale Branch Library was lower because in June 2009 it was assumed that the branch library would be built on a site on California Avenue that the Salt Lake City Public Library System had bought a few years earlier.However,after an extensive public process a larger site south of California Avenue was chosen for the branch library.If a Local Building Authority is established,the$615,000 recommended by the Administration would be used to purchase the site for the Glendale Branch Library. In terms of the overall budget for the Glendale Branch Library,the$615,000 recommended for purchasing the site for the branch brings the total cost of the branch library to roughly the same as the projected cost of the Marmalade Branch Library. 2 According to the Administration transmittal,the total estimated cost of the Glendale Branch Library project is$8.951 million.Since the 2009-2010 fiscal year the Library System has set aside$1.5 million of its reserves for the Glendale Branch.In addition,total property tax collected and projected to be collected by the end of the current fiscal year equals$1,380,460.That plus the reserve fund equals about$2.88 million earmarked for the Glendale project.'The sum leaves a difference of$6,070,540 for which bonds could be issued. The Administration projects that the tax increase the City Council adopted in 2009 is enough to repay about$6 million in bonds issued to pay for the Glendale project.According to projections,if the City issued sales tax bonds,the annual debt service payments would equal about$400,000.If the City created a Local Building Authority and issued lease-revenue bonds,the annual debt service payments would equal about$430,000 a year—a difference of about$30,000 a year.The Administration projects that repaying Local Building Authority Bonds would cost about$400,000 more in total debt service on the Glendale project than repaying sales tax bonds would cost.

TO: Salt Lake City Council DATE: November 8, 2011 Jill Remington Love, Chair FROM: David Everitt, Chief of Staff SUBJECT: Local Building Authority: Summary of Recommended Actions Regarding the Creation of a Local Building Authority to Issue Bonds for Library Construction STAFF CONTACT: Gina Chamness, Budget Director(801) 535-7766 DOCUMENT TYPE: Briefing and Resolution RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that the City Council consider dissolving the existing Municipal Building Authority and creating a local building authority for the purpose of issuing bonds for a previously approved library location in the Glendale neighborhood. Since the City last used the Municipal Building Authority, Utah state statute has changed and this authority is now a local building authority. The Administration further recommends that, once created, the local building authority adopt a tentative budget and set the date for a public hearing regarding that tentative budget. BUDGET IMPACT: The Administration anticipates that this action will have no impact on the City's General Fund and will not require an amendment to the budget of the Library Fund. Once created, we recommend the Local Building Authority adopt an initial budget of$615.000. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Local Building Authority vs. Sales Tax Bonds for Glendale Library In June of 2009, the City Council approved the increase of the City Library's property tax rate to fund the construction of a Glendale library in order to service debt on planned sales tax bonds to be issued by the City for this purpose. The City's library system is funded almost entirely by property taxes. In this scenario envisioned by the City Council 451 SOUTH STATE STREET,ROOM 306 P.O.BOX 145474,SALT LAKE CITY,UTAH 84114-5474 TELEPHONE:801-535-7704 FAX:801-535-6331 www.sicgov.com ®REA CLEO PAPER in 2009, although the property tax increase increment would be available to make debt service payments, the sales tax bonds would count toward the overall sales tax debt capacity of the City. At the same time, the City is considering a number of other major capital projects that may ultimately lead to a decision to issue sales tax bonds for one or all of these projects. The City's financial advisor, Dale Okerlund of Lewis, Young Robertson and Burningham has recommended to both the Administration and the City Council that the City consider issuing bonds through a local building authority(LBA) , a tool that is outlined in state statute. Lewis Young recommends the City consider an LBA bond structure rather than the sales tax bond mechanism in order to preserve sales tax bond capacity for transactions which either cannot be done using the other methods or which could only be done by other methods at a substantially greater interest expense. According to Lewis Young, the LBA structure is most useful for"essential purpose" stand alone facilities, such as the libraries, while sales tax bonds are useful without regard to the nature of the project. Consequently, projects suitable for LBA financing (all of which could be done with sales tax bonds) should be considered for that type of financing in order to decrease the overall demands on the City's "go to" mechanism of sales tax bonds. LBA bonds are slightly more costly than sales tax bonds. The additional cost in interest is expected to be approximately 20 - 25 basis points in the shorter maturities, rising to 30 - 40 basis points for longer maturities. In August, assuming a bond issuance of approximately $6,000,000, the difference between issuing lease revenue or LBA bonds and sales tax bonds was calculated at approximately $30,000 annually and about $400,000 over an estimated life of 20 years. This option would leave the City greater borrowing flexibility for the future. Both annual estimated debt service amounts for the LBA and sales tax bonds are well within the property tax increment amount of approximately $556,000 approved by the City Council in 2009. To preserve borrowing flexibility, the Administration recommends dissolving the existing Municipal Building Authority, creating a Local Building Authority, and then, acting as the Local Building Authority, creating a budget for the project to spend bond proceeds on the Glendale Library project. A separate transmittal addresses steps necessary to create the LBA. A possible proposed timeline is also included in that transmittal. Glendale Library Project and Budget As originally approved by the City Council, the Glendale Library was estimated to cost approximately$8.2 million. This is a very general estimate, and at the time, didn't include either bond issuance costs or the cost of land for the project. The Library previously purchased a lot that has not been selected as the location for the Glendale branch. The budget for the project presented below represents current estimates for the project, adjusted for both anticipated property purchase and issuance costs, adds approximately S715,000 to the overall cost of the project.

Depending on programming, collection could be smaller,requiring less square footage for the collection. 4 Assumes furnishing cost(if,.S35 for a 20,000 sf library. This cost includes chairs,desks,tables,movable fixtures, shelving,service desks,seating and employee cubicles. Maximum life-span for many furnishings is 7-10 years,with some items having a considerably shorter life span. 'Assumes consulting services,including project manager and architectural services,(a 8%of construction line item. 6 Includes cost of hardware and software in the building,as well as the cost of connecting to fiber network to connect to existing library network. 'Costs associated with issuing bonds. Includes 1% for Art, landscaping costs for new building and some contingency. "Includes property tax collected in CY 09, 10,and 11 for Glendale library project. 10 Assumes use of S 1.5 million of dedicated reserve fund balance,as previously directed by City Council. Placeholder for potential rental income at Glendale Library. Current programming suggests that some portion of library may include modular spaces that can be utilized by non-profits or retail,generating income. Community has also expressed interest in kitchen space,which may produce income. Rental income may be used for capital project, or may be used for operations. 12 Placeholder for potential revenue from donations,including potential naming rights donations. Income may be used for capital project,or may be used for operations. 13 Placeholder for potential revenue for existing land sale. Income may be used for capital project,or may be used for operations. Several policy questions related to the budget remain, including whether the sale of the existing property in Glendale should be used for this or another capital project, whether potential donations, including naming rights, should be pursued for the capital project, and whether any potential rental income from the completed project should be included in the overall budget of the capital project or for branch operations. For these reasons, the Administration proposes a budget amendment that would include the purchase price of the land. Once more detail is available on the project, we recommend that the LBA Board convene again and approve the overall Library project and bond proceeds budget. As part of that approval, the LBA Board and the City Council will likely need to consider combining the project into one entity, rather than reflecting some expenses in the budget of the Library and the majority in the LBA. For financial reporting and budgeting, we will likely need to reflect all transactions in one entity, and because the Local Building Authority will be the bond issuer, this may be the LBA. If the Council chooses to issue sales tax bonds rather than bonds through the LBA, the need to combine transactions into one entity would remain, and a budget for sales tax bond proceeds may need to be created in the City's CIP fund. City and Library staff will continue to explore bond proceed and financial reporting requirements to ensure the Authority or the City complies with all pertinent rules. This technical adjustment does not affect the expectation that this project will be managed entirely by Library staff. Based on property taxes collected to date, as well as the use of the previously recommended $1.5 million from the Library's designated reserve fund balance, we estimate that the LBA would issue bonds for approximately S6.070,000. Due to tax restrictions, we currently anticipate property taxes already collected for this project and the designated reserve fund balance amount totaling approximately $2.9 million would be used to fund the purchase of the collection as well as the furnishings, and bond proceeds would be used to fund the remainder of the project. The Administration recommends that, once created, the LBA purchase the North property for the Glendale Library. The LBA will lease the property for the term of the bonds.
