2.Ordinance:Technology Related Land Use Text Amendments
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that
would amend various sections of the Title 21A of the Salt Lake City Code
pertaining to tech related land uses.This proposal was initiated by Mayor Erin
Mendenhall to promote the development of the technology related industry in the
City.The proposal updates the zoning code and does the following:
•Adds Biomedical,Technology Facility,and Data Center as defined terms in
the zoning code and adds the uses to the land use tables as permitted uses in
specific zoning districts identified in the draft ordinance.
•Adds a qualifying provision as a footnote to the land use tables related to
Biomedical uses that would prohibit uses that produce hazardous waste from
being located within ½mile of a residential use.
•Modifies and merges several defined land uses into one use called
“Laboratory,related”and updates the land use tables as indicated in the draft
ordinance.
•Updates the defined land use “research and development facility”so the
definition reflects the nature of the use and expands where the use is allowed
in the land use tables of the zoning code.
The proposal impacts zoning districts citywide and impacts multiple sections of
Title 21A Zoning.Related provisions of Title 21A may also be amended as part of
this petition.Petition No.:PLNPCM2021-00511

2.Ordinance:Text Amendment Eliminating the Special Exception
Process from the Zoning Ordinance
The Council will consider adopting an ordinance that would delete and eliminate
the special exception process from the zoning ordinance.A special exception is a
minor alteration of a dimensional requirement of the zoning ordinance or
addresses accessory uses and structures.The purpose of this proposal is to amend
the zoning ordinance related to special exceptions to accomplish the following:
•Simplify the zoning ordinance by updating regulations and eliminating special
exceptions;
•Reallocate staff resources away from processing land use applications that
favor individual properties and towards updating zoning codes to align with
adopted master plans;
•Increase predictability and reduce neighbor conflicts that are created by
requests for exceptions to the zoning regulations;
There are more than forty special exceptions authorized in the zoning ordinance.
The proposal addresses each special exception and results in each special
exception being deleted,permitted,or authorized through a different process in
the zoning ordinance.Some special exceptions that will become permitted include
changes to standards to add flexibility and reduce impacts.Special exceptions are
approved by staff of the Planning Division,the Planning Commission,or Historic
Landmark Commission.Related provisions of Title 21A-Zoning and Title 14 may
be amended as part of this petition.Petition No.:PLNPCM2020-00606
