G.CONSENT:
1. Ordinance: Administrative Decision Appeals Text Amendment
The Council will set the date of Tuesday, August 17, 2021 at 6 p.m. to accept public
comment and 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

2. Ordinance: Text Amendment Eliminating the Special Exception
Process from the Zoning Ordinance
The Council will set the date of Tuesday, August 17, 2021 at 6 p.m. to accept
public comment and 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; and,
•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
