#2 . Setting the date of Tuesday, August 8, 2017 at 7 : 00 p.m. to
accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance regarding
commercial building energy benchmarking and market transparency. The
proposal would enact a new chapter of Salt Lake City Code: Chapter 18-
Building Benchmarking and Transparency, which would require owners of
large buildings (City buildings larger than 22, 000 square feet and
commercial buildings larger than 25, 000 square feet, with some
exemptions) to annually benchmark energy data, share Energy Star Scores
and data with the City, and encourages implementation of improvements to
the building's energy systems. The updated proposal requires an
evaluation of buildings with Energy Star Scores that are below average
but no longer requires the building owners to implement the energy tune-
up recommendations. It also provides for exceptions for tax-exempt
properties like places of worship, and other buildings and adds an
appeals process, among other changes. View Attachments .

food production. The current ordinance does not differentiate between
large commercial food processors (i . e. cereal manufacturing or national

permit the "Duck Hunting Club" use that is currently an existing use in
the area, ensure uses associated with agriculture are identified as
permitted uses, such as a caretaker home and accessory retail sales
associated with agricultural uses, and require consultation with the
Utah State Division of Wildlife Resources for solar panel installation
