3. Ordinance: Administrative Decision Appeals Text Amendment
The Council will consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the zoning
ordinance pertaining to appeals of administrative decisions. Administrative
decisions are those made by the Planning Commission, Historic Landmark
Commission, or the Zoning Administrator in the administration of the zoning
ordinance. The amendments primarily clarify what matters can be decided by the
City's Appeals Hearing Officer, who can appeal decisions, and when an appeal can
stay a decision, modify City Code to align with State law, related case law, and
make other clarifications to the appeals chapter of the zoning ordinance,
including:
• Clarify that the City Appeals Hearing Officer can only make decisions
regarding the interpretation and application of provisions of Salt Lake City
Code, not provisions regarding the interpretation and application of
provisions of the Utah State Code, the Utah Constitution, Utah common law
or federal law.
• Modify the list of allowed appellants to the land use applicant, City board or
officer, or"an adversely affected party"to comply with new State Code.
• Eliminate automatic stays of decisions.An appellant would have to
specifically request and justify a "stay" (a hold on further proceedings on a
matter) when appealing an administrative decision.
The proposed amendments affect Chapter 21A.16 of the zoning ordinance. Related
provisions of Title 21A-Zoning may be amended as part of this petition. Petition
No.: PLNPCM2020-00352

to make reasonable efforts to respond to a stay request within io days of the
appeal being deemed complete. If a stay is requested, the hearing officer shall
make reasonable efforts to determine whether a stay is appropriate within io
days of the appeal being deemed complete. If the hearing officer does not
decide a request for a stay within io days of the appeal being deemed
complete, the request shall be presumed denied. No stay will be authorized
