veterans with hearing loss, the elderly, people with autism or sensory disabilities, ADHD,
dyslexia, learning disabilities, down syndrome and auditory neuropathy, and people who
are learning English as a second language or are limited English proficient (LEP). In a
noisy environment, hearing people can benefit from having the captions turned on and
such enhanced access can be helpful when there's an emergency broadcast.

Cindy Gust-Jenson stated there were a number of announcements
Notification of removal of Artworks from the City’s Public Art Collection
• The Mayor approved the recommendation from the Salt Lake Art Design Board to
remove the following artworks from the City’s public art collection:
◦ Bench sculpture of Untitled at Bend in the River by Paul Heath, Linda
Nowlin, Louise Fischman, and Wayne Geary located in Modesto Park at
Jordan River Parkway, 1550 S 1110 W
◦ Three concrete furniture sculptures, Sugar House Benches, by Eric
Thelander located in front of Fairmont Aquatic Center, Sprague Library,
and 2005 South 1100 East
The recommendations are based on multiple factors, including a lack of structural
integrity, repeated and ongoing issues with vandalism, unreasonable costs for repair
and maintenance, and safety concerns. An informational transmittal was received in the
Council Office on January 18 satisfying the 45-day advance notice requirement in City
Code before an artwork in the City’s collection may be removed.
Council Members would like information on what happened when arts
were decommissioned and would like to know more about the process.
Feedback Requested on Neighborhood Parks Projects in the $85 Million
Parks, Trails and Open Space Bond
Council Member feedback is welcome as the Administration is preparing a transmittal
on next steps for the bond, especially as it relates to using the $10.5 million for
improvements to neighborhood parks with at least one in each Council District. Would
the Council prefer to hold a discussion in a future Work Session, or Small group
meetings with the Administration to discuss options for how to select locations /
projects for these Neighborhood Parks. Once a process and project list is prepared, the
Council would need to hold a public hearing and approve the use of bond funds in a
budget opening for the City to spend the funds. Please reach out to Ben Luedtke or your
Liaison with any feedback.

Priorities for the Internal Budget Review Committee
The Administration has invited the Council to submit priorities for their internal Budget
review committee as they build and consider the Mayor’s Recommended Budget for FY
24. This is a unique opportunity for the legislative branch to provide early input on the
Administration’s budget (typically a fully Administrative process). The Chair and Vice
Chair have discussed this with staff, edited priorities from last year, and pulled from
themes from the Council’s retreat in January. The list is as follows: Equity, Stabilizing
and Optimizing Response models, Homelessness, Maintenance of Public Spaces,
Transit and Transportation, Land Use & Development, Affordable Housing, Business
Support/Economic Development, emphasize stability of current programs instead of
creating new ones. This list would be incorporated into the Administration’s budget
review matrix that is used to evaluate and score individual department budget
recommendations. The Budget committee is meeting this Thursday so the Council has a
quick turnaround to provide this input. Please let staff or the Chair Vice Chair know if
you have any concerns or questions with this list.
Information Needed:

Committee. Currently Council Members Fowler and Dugan are two of the city’s three

Dugan). Are any other Council Member interested in serving on the LPC?
Council Members agreed Council Member Petro would take the position.
City’s Grant Applications & Process
Council Members raised some questions about the current grant applications, criteria
for evaluation, and process on the Council agenda. In order to gather direction, the
Chair and Vice Chair wanted to convene a "subcommittee" that could meet in a small
group meeting with Staff. The subcommittee would review the options for any new
criteria or processing (i.e. adding a Work Session briefing for some grant applications)
and then bring back a proposal for the full Council to review. Which Council Members
are interested in participating?
Council Members agreed to allow Council Staff to determine which grant
applications to bring to the Council for discussion. Council Members
wanted the information on the grants to be concise and manageable.

staff would return to the Council with answers regarding the proposal.

Lorena Riffo-Jenson and Katie Matheson provided information regarding:
• History of the SLC Sister Cities Program:
◦ Running now for 65 years
◦ First established (locally) in 1958 with Matsumoto, Japan, and now
expanded to include a total of six cities: Keelung, Taiwan; Chernivsi,
Ukraine; Izhevsk, Russia; Trujillo, Peru; Torino, Italy
◦ Division of Economic Development was assigned to manage the program in
approximately 2017
• Proposed ordinance updates research findings; the ordinance had not been
updated for around 20 years, the program could benefit from enhanced
responsiveness to new Sister Cities’ requests but also better maintenance of current
relationships, and opportunities to implement diversity, equity and inclusion on
the Board, among other items
• Background research conducted via conversations with various entities including
the cities of Alpine, Colorado and San Antonio, Texas as well as Department of
State and Visit Salt Lake, among others
• Ordinance changes summarized into three categories: geographic boundaries,
Board of Directors and managing new Sister Cities’ requests
• Proposed ordinance changes with a review of old ordinance language
• Next steps: Board Members to be appointed and trained, City Task Force –
Japanese delegation visit (summer 2023) to include Mayor’s Office, Council Staff,
Department of Economic Development, and Arts Council – planning to welcome
the delegation from Matsumoto, Japan, which included an interest by the
delegation to march in the Days of ‘47 Parade
Council Member Mano inquired about the Board Member term limits possibly limiting
the building of a deeper relationship with a sister city, and asked perhaps if there was a
way that Board Members could cycle off the voting Board and return to vote again. Katie
Matheson spoke in agreement and stated that diplomatic relationships were built on
the relationships of people and noted that the Department felt that the balance of having
two consecutive four-year terms and allowing those members to become non-voting
members in perpetuity, would not limit the ability to continue important relationships.
Council Member Puy inquired about additional budget implications and staffing needs to
manage the Board. Lorena Riffo-Jenson said that the Department wanted to ensure,
moving forward, that they could convey success to the Council (not overpromise what

could not be delivered), therefore they would bring forth a budget when prepared with
more information.

function when it came to City-owned property vs RDA-owned property and the crossover
of the two. Council Member Mano said he wanted to ensure that the public (developer
community) could see one place to go for requests for proposals (RFPs), one process to
go through and that policies that governed disposal of property for both City- and RDA-
owned properties were as aligned/overlapping as much as possible.

Allison Rowland provided an introduction to the update.
Ruedigar Matthes provided information regarding:
Housing SLC Key Findings
• State requirements – Moderate income housing definition and plan requirements
• Details regarding plan coordination – Thriving in Place (TIP) and Housing SLC
being complementary and interconnected
• Engagement summary – February to April 2022 TIP Phase I engagement, July to
November 2022 Housing SLC engagement
• Engagement highlights – over 6,000 people engaged across TIP & Housing SLC
efforts
• Key Finding 1 – rental vacancy rates were low, home sale prices were unaffordable
– placing a strain on existing rental housing and causing rents to rise dramatically
• Key Finding 2 – housing prices suggested a shortage of housing supply overall, but
especially housing that was deeply affordable (30% of area median income)
• Key Finding 3 – Salt Lake City was the majority renter, and more than half of all
renters were cost-burdened, spending more than 30% of their income on housing
costs
• Key Finding 4 – a survey of City residents concluded affordable housing and
behavioral health services were preferred as solutions for homelessness
• Key Finding 5 – a mismatch between the types of housing the market was
producing and the needs of the community
• Key Finding 6 – wages have not kept pace with the cost of living, especially
housing-related costs
• Proposed next steps
Council Member Mano requested the list of 20 strategies from the State and inquired
how many the City were to select. Ruedigar Matthes said 12 strategies had already been
addressed in a year's time with an end goal of 17-18 (well above the six required to meet
priority consideration) and that he would provide the requested list of strategies.

The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that
would amend the zoning map for the property at approximately 704 East 900
South from R-2 (Single- and Two-Family Residential) to SNB (Small
Neighborhood Business). The subject property is 0.24 acres. Although a specific
development is not being proposed at this time, the rezone is in anticipation of
bringing illegally added dwelling units up to code. Petitioner: Ale
Gicqueau, Petition No.: PLNPCM2022-00251.
The Planning Commission forwarded a negative recommendation, therefore an
ordinance has not been drafted. If the Council decides to approve the zone
amendment, an ordinance would be drafted and considered for approval.

(increased density of housing or a business that provided jobs/revenue).
Jen Colby, District 4 Resident, spoke in opposition to the proposal and asked the
Council to deny the request to rezone the property.
Cindy Cromer noted the existing issues with the property and said the rezone to a
commercial zone would drive the demolition of the house at a future time and urged the
Council to protect the structure.
Kristina Robb, Chair of East Liberty Park Community Organization, read a letter
detailing the organization’s support for the rezone request including a list of
recommended considerations.
Deborah Candler spoke in opposition to the proposal and expressed concern regarding
the potential unintended consequences that could occur and the lack of parking in the
area that would be exacerbated, and asked the Council to deny the request.
Nathan Florence expressed concerns regarding real estate investors buying up
property in this neighborhood and petitioning for zoning changes above what was

revisions would eliminate the conditional use requirement for detached ADUs in
single-family residential zones. They would also aim to lower zoning barriers to
construction of ADUs in general. The proposed changes would seek to strike a
better balance between encouraging construction of ADUs and mitigating
impacts to neighboring properties. Petition No.: PLNPCM2022-000475

Brian Fullmer provided a brief introduction to the proposed ordinance.
Lance Spencer, Kesenyia Kniazeva, Adam Cook, R. Scott Messersmith, Kobe
Elias, Eric Valchuis, Nigel Swaby, Turner Bitton, Wendy Garvin spoke in favor
of the proposed ordinance. Comments included: the Council should enact the least
amount of restrictions possible to maximize value of the City’s limited land, ADU’s
created stability for the unsheltered, ADU’s eliminated the need for persons to live in
their cars or live far from where they were employed, eliminating the conditional use
and parking requirements would encourage more ADUs, owner occupancy requirements
were an impediment to ADUs, higher density in the City would promote fewer car
trips/less congestion on freeways, reducing fees would incentivize more ADUs,
consistency in preventing ADUs from becoming short-term rentals was needed,
encouraged City programs to help fund/finance ADUs.
Josie Fife inquired when/if the Council would ease size restrictions for ADUs as she
wanted to build a larger sized ADU for her property (larger than 550 square feet).
Cindy Cromer brought the following issues to the Council’s attention: addressing the
loss of solar access for all housing (would ADU’s block neighboring solar
panels/gardens/views), trees being removed for construction of ADUs, eliminating the
conditional use process might lead to short-term rentals, etc.
Kristina Robb spoke on items important to the East Liberty Park Community
Organization (ELPCO) including concerns about illegal units already in place, safety of
all rentable units in the ELPCO area limits, and asked the Council to ensure renters have
a fair deal addressing safety issues in all rentals.
Soren Simonsen spoke in favor of the proposed amendment and suggested the
Council consider the following: keeping the owner/occupancy requirement would
prevent absentee landlord issues, compatibility of approved ADUs with the original
structure, and adding the consideration of micro-units.
Nat Bottomley spoke in favor of the owner/occupant requirement for control
standards and suggested second-story garages be converted to ADUs.
Tom Lund, Yalecrest Neighborhood Association Board Member, expressed concerns
with no provisions for homeowners regarding standards to ensure the value of the
homes next to ADUs did not go down and noted impacts such as lack of parking in some
neighborhoods and ADUs being too close to neighboring properties.
James Webster spoke in opposition to ADUs in the Yalecrest neighborhood and said a
recently built ADU next to his property led to contamination in his yard (lead paint from
the garage that was demolished) and expressed concerns on no provision to notify him
that it was being built and noted problems such as loss of privacy, quality of life, and
impacting property values.
Chris Magerl spoke regarding the need to retain the owner/occupancy requirement

construction projects. New multi-family housing projects like condos and
apartments would be required to add electrical capacity on twenty percent of
their off-street parking stalls. The electrical capacity would allow the future
addition of electric vehicle charging stations at the stalls constructed for them.
The proposal would amend the City’s land use code at 21A.44.040. The

Kesenyia Kniazeva said drastic measures were needed to end the homeless epidemic,
and encouraged the Council to push for a City sanctioned campground to help the
unsheltered find stability, store their belongings and emerge from poverty.

Mountain Power rezone proposal, noting the unique opportunity for mixed-income and
much-needed economic development along the North Temple corridor and urged the
Council to advocate for development that would fit a master plan that would revitalize the
business nodes that were in decline on the west side of the City.

YOUTH STATE OF THE CITY REPORT
YOUTHCITY GOVERNMENT’S REPORT TO MAYOR MENDENHALL, CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS,
AND THE SALT LAKE CITY COMMUNITY
“Amplifying Our Voices”
APRIL 18, 2023
Introduction
Hi, my name is Diya Oommen, and I am a junior at West High School and live in Salt Lake City
Council District 2. It’s a pleasure to be with you today.
I’d like to thank my fellow YouthCity Government (YCG) members, Representative Angela
Romero, and the woman who has the hard task of wrangling us all: Juanita Escareno.
This is my third year with YCG, and one of the most important things that I’ve learned with this
program is just how resilient we can be. As members of YCG, we talk about how global, federal
and state policy issues impact us and our community at a local level.
As youth in this City, we’ve seen the world shift, crumble, and grow right beneath our feet. It’s
an overwhelming feeling to watch those voted into power ignorantly take rights away from your
very own peers.
But through it all, we learned that despite what people may tell us, we still have power. We can
host youth summits on issues that we see our education system failing with, we can help
organize protests against bills such as SB 16, Transgender Medical Treatments and Procedures
Amendments, and walk the steps of the Capitol to bring focus back to the issues that mean the
most to us.
Today’s youth have a specific voice that cannot be stifled. It’s a power to read right from wrong,
to view the world as if it’s black and white, without the myriad of biases that affect the decisions
made in the political sphere today. We see issues through a lens of different priorities. We’re not
fond of the rules set in place by the past, and we see no issue with taking a stand against “the
way things have been done”.
And the more we know that our voice is being heard, the more we know that we will use it. We
appreciate the City giving us a space to be heard and seen.
Women’s Rights
As-Salaam-Alaikum, my name is Hamda Ibrahim, and I am a senior at West High School and
live in Salt Lake City Council District 1. I am originally from Somalia and moved here when I
was 10 years old. Growing up in a refugee camp in Somalia, it was very hard for me to form an
identity due to all the violence and constant human rights violations that surrounded me from a
young age.
When I came to America all I wanted was separation. Separation from all the trauma I endured,
and from the loudness of living in an active war zone. But as I grew older, I realized separation
wasn’t what I needed, but relief. Separation implied forgetting my culture and people and turning
a blind eye to the wrongdoings of the few in power. Choosing relief has given me my never-
ending passion for women’s rights. I am an advocate for awareness and action for female-
genital-mutilation (FGM) and preventing child marriages in third world countries.
I talked about the topic of FGM when I served on the consent panel for YCG’s For Teens by
Teens Youth Summit with Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault and Planned Parenthood. It felt
empowering to share my story and the stories of the many Somali women and girls that die from
female genital mutilation yearly. On the panel we also covered boundaries, what consent looks
like in different forms; body language, verbal communication and tone, and what NO means, and
how consent can be given or taken.
I personally loved the YCG experience because no matter what issues you’re passionate about
and what’s in your heart Juanita and Representative Romero will find a way to give your voice a
platform to be heard in the City. The diversity of youth in the YCG program is something to be
celebrated and I hope to be continued.
Reproductive Rights
Hello, my name is Julia. I am a senior at Rowland Hall and live in Salt Lake Council District 3,
and I care deeply about reproductive rights. As someone affected by access to abortions and birth
control, the country's broad crackdown on reproductive rights concerns me. And when I look
into my community, I feel more profound concern. Governor Spencer Cox signed legislation in
March that will make abortion inaccessible. As a student and as a menstruator, it concerns me
that we don’t view abortion as lifesaving, yet we allow students to walk the halls of their schools
in fear of their life being taken away from them as a result of lax and unreasonably unregulated
gun laws. When I walked the streets of downtown Salt Lake City in late June, I was flooded with
emotions of betrayal. I felt unwelcome in a community that would endanger women and force
individuals to receive dangerous, off-market operations or be forced to give birth to a child they
may not have the resources to care for. The overturn of Roe v Wade caused panic for many
women living in our city and state.
My worst concern about how Utah would respond to the decision became my reality. Despite
this cruel human rights violation, I found some peace in the YCG. A program that aims to
empower youth, YCG also became a safe haven for discussing concerns that seemed to be
ignored at higher levels. YCG was a place for reflection, empowerment, community connection,
and participation. Going to YCG months after Roe v Wade was overturned, up to now,
approaching the one-year mark, I am just as concerned. I still worry that my community is
reversing the progress that took decades to accomplish. I still wonder why women's safety is
being sacrificed. But one thing that the YCG has changed about this horrific situation is the
extent to which I feel change is possible.
Trans Youth Rights
Hello, my name is Rodrigo Fernandez-Esquivias, I’m a Senior at Rowland Hall and a member of
YCG. This session Utah’s legislative majority blatantly passed transphobic legislation, SB 16,
which bans minors from accessing lifesaving gender affirming care, including hormone therapy
and gender affirming surgeries is one of the most abhorrent pieces of legislation we have seen in
recent years. The passage and signing of this bill has had a chilling effect on our schools,
community and city.
I want to make one thing very clear: the American Medical Association, the American
Association of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the American Association of Psychiatrists all
recommend these procedures for minors experiencing gender dysphoria. To quote Jon Stewart,
“When your child has pediatric cancer, your doctor references the guidelines set by the American
Association of Pediatrics.” Which medical organizations agree with these lawmakers?
I was present during the house committee hearing on SB16, and the claims the witnesses were
making did not comport with any of the recent medical data. Our lawmakers appear to be cherry
picking which medical guidelines to support. These lawmakers claim they are protecting kids,
but how exactly are they protecting them? We don't wait to medicate kids with depression and
ADHD until they are 18. Why? The medications prescribed for depression have side effects, the
same as hormones prescribed to trans kids, of course, most medications have side effects.
Depression and ADHD are in the same category in the DSM -5 as gender dysphoria, so why do
we treat them differently? How is postponing peer reviewed medical treatment protecting kids?
Study after study has shown that discriminatory legislation, such as S B 16, has been shown to
increase feelings of marginalization and takes a toll on mental health. We have one of the highest
teen suicide rates in the country. So why are we banning treatments that are proven to have
positive mental health outcomes and presenting it as a legitimate solution to solving our teen
mental health crisis? If there was a pill that had the same mental health outcomes as gender
affirming care, every single doctor and lawmaker in the country would be recommending it. So,
what are we doing? What are we doing? The state has no right to interject itself into someone's
body or to interfere in medical practices. I hope in future we can come together as a city and state
to challenge legislation that erases members in our community. It starts with us. It starts now.
At our recent For Teens by Teens Youth Summit, we partnered with the ACLU of Utah and
discussed trans rights and how it impacts youth. The panel discussion detailed current anti-trans
bills, how to engage in youth activism, and how to make the world a safer space for trans and
LGBTQ+ people.
I’m thankful to be a part of YCG because the program supports basic human rights for ALL in
our City.
Conclusion
Good evening, Council Members, my name is Cate Love and I am a senior at East High School
and live in Council District 6. I have had the opportunity to be in the YCG for the past 3 years.
Last summer, I also had the opportunity to intern for all of you in the Salt Lake City Council
Office. In YCG, I have seen firsthand the power and potential of young people to positively
impact our city. By providing opportunities for youth to participate in the decision-making
process, we can harness their creativity, passion, and fresh perspectives to address the challenges
and opportunities facing Salt Lake City.
I urge the City Council to continue to actively seek out and value the input of young people,
whether it be through youth councils like ours, internships, community and city council
meetings, or other channels of engagement. Let us create an inclusive and participatory
environment where young people feel heard, respected, and encouraged to contribute their ideas
and opinions. By doing so, we will not only cultivate a stronger sense of civic pride and
ownership among our youth, but also ensure a more vibrant, resilient, and forward-thinking City
for years to come.
Lastly, I would like to thank Representative Romero and Juanita for all the hard work and time
they put in for us each week. They do so much to ensure we get the most out of the YouthCity
Government. On a personal note, I would like to thank you and the City Council staff for the
opportunity and kindness I was met with as your intern.

RE: Downtown Building Height and Street Activation Text Amendment
PLNPCM2022-00529
BRIEFING UPDATE
Following a presentation from Design Workshop, the Council expressed general support for the proposed
changes to building heights and pedestrian engagement. Council Members discussed the proposed
minimum ten-foot sidewalk width for new development or redeveloped properties. Comments included a
desire for wider sidewalks depending on building height to enhance the pedestrian experience. Consistency
in sidewalk width was also discussed. The consultant and Planning staff clarified the proposed ten-foot
sidewalk width is a minimum, and additional width could be discussed at the design review stage. The
intent was to balance the need for appropriate sidewalk width without creating an overly open feel in some
downtown areas with very wide streets.
If a public right-of-way is not wide enough to accommodate a ten-foot sidewalk, a portion of it would be
required on private property. It was noted that there will be inconsistencies when a property is developed
or redeveloped with ten-foot sidewalks, but an adjacent property would not have the same requirement
unless or until it is redeveloped.
Maximum height differences in the Depot District and Granary were also discussed. There is an
opportunity to provide additional housing in the more industrial Granary neighborhood, but capping
height lower than in the Depot District would make it more difficult to include affordable housing units.
Planning staff stated there is a desire to strike a balance between existing warehouses in the Granary
District that will hopefully be preserved through adaptive reuse, and very tall buildings being built on
adjacent or nearby properties. Affordable housing in these areas is difficult because of what can be

developed by right. Some additional height through the design review process is an incentive to include
affordable housing.
Pedestrian amenities were also discussed, with a desire for ground floor commercial space serving the
community rather than a gym, leasing office, etc. for building resident use. There was also a request to
include bird-friendly glass in the building. Planning staff noted that can be included in the ordinance.
The April 18, 2023 public hearing does not include an option for online comments. The Council may
consider continuing the public hearing to a future meeting to provide an additional opportunity for
comments.
As a reminder, the following straw polls were included below in this report. Staff will reach out to you for
your input on these and the policy question about UTA’s request to maximize building height in the G-MU
district to accommodate redevelopment plans.
1. Does the Council support Planning staff’s recommendation to remove the step back requirement
for buildings in the D-1 (Central Business District) zone?
2. Does the Council support the current requirement of a 15’ step back for buildings in the Sugar
House Business District (CSHBD) that are taller than 45’?
3. Does the Council support requiring buildings in the CSHBD that abut single- or two-family zoning
districts include a step back at 30’?
4. Does the Council support other changes as recommended by Planning Staff (parking, landscaping
requirements, etc.)?
The following information was provided for the April 4, 2023 Council briefing. It is
included again for background purposes.
The Council will be briefed about proposed amendments to the City’s zoning ordinance pertaining to
building heights and pedestrian engagement in the Downtown Plan area. The city worked with a
consultant, Design Workshop, on the proposal.
Proposed changes would affect the following zoning districts as shown in the image below:
•D-1 (Downtown Central Business District)
•D-2 (Downtown Support)

•D-4 (Downtown Secondary Business District)
•G-MU (Gateway Mixed Use)
•CG (General Commercial)

The Administration’s proposal also recommends changes to the Design Standards found in Chapter 21A.37,
and the Design Review process found in Chapter 21A.59 of Salt Lake City Code.
The proposal includes three main elements: Pedestrian Orientation, Human Scale Design, and Building
Height. These are summarized below. Please see the attached presentation from Planning staff and Design
Workshop to view a presentation the Planning Division provided that outlines the key changes.
Page | 3
Pedestrian Orientation
Under the proposal an area is considered pedestrian oriented if sidewalks and public spaces feel safe,
welcoming, and free of barriers to those walking or using a wheelchair.
Human Scale Design
The proposal calls for development to be scaled toward humans through building form, visual interest, first
floor activation, façade transparency, overhead elements, setbacks, and public access points.
Building Height
Building heights may be adjusted and will be considered as they preserve visual corridors, reflect the
character of downtown’s individual districts, and include public benefits for height bonuses.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
After the Planning Commission forwarded its recommendation and Planning staff was preparing the
ordinance in coordination with the Attorney’s Office, they identified a few changes they would like to ask
the Council to consider including the final ordinance:
•Design standards for the D-1 (Central Business District) zoning district. The draft
ordinance includes an upper floor step back of 10’ for buildings between 78’-104’ and 15’ for
buildings taller than 104’. Step backs were introduced to additional districts outside the Sugar
House Business District (CSHBD) and Form Based Urban Neighborhood-2 (FB-UN2) to encourage
additional light and air in higher density districts.
o Planning staff doesn’t believe the D-1 (Central Business District) warrants a step back to
this degree and recommends the Council remove this requirement, given the distinct feel of
the downtown core.
•Clarification in the Sugar House Business District (CSHBD) and Form Based Urban
Neighborhood (FB-UN) design standards. The draft ordinance includes a 15’ step back for
buildings in the CSHBD districts taller than 60’.
o Planning staff recommends eliminating changes from the current step back requirement for
buildings taller than 45’. For buildings in the CSHBD that abut single- or two-family
districts Planning recommends a step back be incorporated at 30’.
•Omission of requirement for buildings in the Form Based Urban Neighborhood (FB-UN) zones
taller than 30’ to include a 15’ step back was omitted in an earlier draft ordinance.
o Planning Staff corrected that omission in the current draft ordinance.
•The recently adopted off-street parking ordinance is also being amended as part of this proposal
due to language in the draft ordinance limiting size and location of surface parking in the
Downtown (D-1, D-2, D-3, and D-4) and General Commercial (CG) zones.
o Planning staff is recommending those changes be included in the draft ordinance.
•Changes to the Form Based District and Design Standards chapters in City Code making standards
for the FB-UN1 and FB-UN2 consistent with the proposed FB-UN3 form-based zoning district
being considered by the Council.
o Proposed changes to open space landscaping requirements discussed during the Council
briefing for the FB-UN3 zone are included.
Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed text amendments, determine if the Council supports moving
forward with the proposal.
POTENTIAL STRAW POLLS
1. Does the Council support Planning staff’s recommendation to remove the step back requirement
for buildings in the D-1 (Central Business District) zone?
2. Does the Council support the current requirement of a 15’ step back for buildings in the Sugar
House Business District (CSHBD) that are taller than 45’?
3. Does the Council support requiring buildings in the CSHBD that abut single- or two-family zoning
districts include a step back at 30’?
4. Does the Council support other changes as recommended by Planning Staff (parking, landscaping
requirements, etc.)?

POLICY QUESTIONS
1. Additional height beyond what is allowed “by right” may be included through design review and
would require a public benefit. The Council may wish to ask the Administration to specify what
these benefits are and how they can be quantified and tracked for compliance (affordable housing
for example).
2. The Council may wish to discuss minimum building heights and potential impacts they may have
on developing some smaller parcels.
3. The draft ordinance includes changes to the Form Based District and Design Standards chapters of
City Code that include FB-UN3 (Form Based Urban Neighborhood 3) the Council has been briefed
about but has not yet adopted. These changes would make FB-UN3 zoning regulations consistent
with proposed changes to the FB-UN1 and 2 zones. These include changes to open space
landscaping requirements the Council discussed during the FB-UN3 briefing. The Council may
wish to ask the Administration for their recommendation on how to move forward without creating
any text inconsistencies.
4. The Council may wish to discuss and consider the request from UTA to amend the proposal to
maximize allowable height in the GMU district to accommodate redevelopment plans proximate to
a potential future UTA headquarters (see chart at the end of this staff report for a comparison of
building heights proposed in different downtown zones).
PUBLIC PROCESS
Design Workshop, consultants for the proposal, held several stakeholder meetings with community council
representatives, members of the development community, business and advocacy representatives, the
Downtown Alliance, and the Disability and Accessibility Commission. Feedback from these meetings
helped guide the proposal. In addition, a citywide survey gathered more than 450 responses from the
broader community.
Stakeholder Zoom Meetings were held with the following:
•Chambers of Commerce and Development Community - November 30, 2021
•Community Council representatives - December 1, 2021
•Community representatives, including members of the Disability and Accessibility Commission -
December 2, 2021
•Downtown Alliance - January 19, 2022
The public survey was published on Planning’s website, listserv, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. The
survey was open for three weeks and closed February 24, 2022.
Notice was mailed to property owners within the Downtown Plan area May 13, 2022.
The Planning Commission was briefed on the proposal at its June 8, 2022 meeting and held a public
hearing August 18, 2022 at which one person spoke expressing support. The Commission voted
unanimously to forward a positive recommendation on the amendments to the City Council.
The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) sent the attached letter to the Council expressing a desire for additional
height in the Gateway Mixed Use (GMU) zone beyond what is in the proposal. UTA is preparing to
redevelop property near the North Temple and Salt Lake Central Stations. These plans include relocating
UTA’s headquarters and potentially construct as many additional floors to the building as allowed by the
City, and what the market will support.
UTA asked to further increase allowed height or eliminate the maximum allowed height in the GMU zoning
district.

DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Downtown Building Height and Street Activation
Ordinance
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Salt Lake City Planning Division was awarded a
Transportation Land Use Connection Grant from the Wasatch Regional Council in 2021 to
update sections of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to building heights and
pedestrian engagement in the Downtown Plan area. The consultant, Design Workshop, worked
with stakeholders and the city to develop a proposal that updates portions of the Zoning
Ordinance as it pertains to building heights, review processes, and pedestrian spaces downtown.
These code amendments aim to accommodate growth and respond to development pressures
while developing standards for public spaces that improve the livability of the downtown area.
Changes seek to promote future downtown growth that is safe, links land use with transportation
to reduce vehicle trips, aligns building height with construction types in the building code, and
encourages downtown living.
Lisa Shaffer (Dec 22, 2022 12:08 MST)12/22/2022

The city’s adopted plans and policies provide a basis for this proposal. The plans include both
the citywide plan, Plan Salt Lake (2015) and the Downtown Plan (2016). These plans were
adopted by the City Council after extensive engagement and review by the public and city boards
and commissions. The proposal is consistent with a number of principals, objectives, and policies
in both plans.
Downtown Plan Boundaries and Zoning Districts
The above map illustrates the number of zoning districts within the Downtown Plan Area, as
well as the number of distinct neighborhoods. The following zoning districts impacted by this
proposal, include: D-1 (Downtown Central Business District), D-2 (Downtown Support), D-3
(Downtown Warehouse), D-4 (Downtown Secondary Business District), G-MU (Gateway
Mixed-Use), CG (General Commercial) and the FB-UN1 and 2. Additionally, the Design

As anticipated, this project will amend section 21A.44.060 of the recently adopted Off-Street
Parking Ordinance. The proposed amendments to this chapter are included in this transmittal.
The Planning Commission was briefed on the amendments on June 8, 2022. The Planning
Commission provided input and comments to staff. Subsequently, the Planning Commission
provided a positive recommendation on the proposed amendments on August 24, 2022. Part of
the discussion during the August hearing included comments about the graphics. In response,
the consultant adjusted the graphics, which are included in the exhibits of this transmittal.
CHANGES TO OFF-STREET PARKING ORDINANCE
The recently adopted Off-Street Parking Ordinance will need to be amended as part of this
project. This is due to the incorporation of language that limits the size and location of surface
parking in the D-1, D-2, D-3, D-4, and CG zoning districts. The amended off-street parking
ordinance, specifically section 21A.44.060, is included in the ordinance for this transmittal.
FB-UN3 INCLUSION
The City Council is considering the adoption of the FB-UN3 zone. Due to the potential adoption
of this district, staff has added in changes to the Form Based District Chapter and the Design
Standards Chapter to make the FB-UN3 zone regulations consistent with the proposed changes
to the FB-UN1 and 2 zones. These include changes to open space landscaping requirements that
the Council discussed at a work session regarding the FB-UN3 zone.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR CITY COUNCIL
Since the positive recommendation from Planning Commission, Planning staff identified
potential issues with the proposed Design Standards for the D-1 zoning district. The
recommended ordinance includes an upper floor step back requirement of 10’ for buildings
between 78’-104’ and 15’ for buildings above 104’ in height. Step backs were introduced to
additional districts outside of the CSHBD and FB-UN2 zoning districts. The goal of the step
back was to encourage additional light and air in higher density districts. Staff doesn’t believe
that the D-1 (Central Business District) warrants a step back to this degree. Staff recommends
that the City Council remove this requirement.
Staff identified an error to the CSHBD and the FB-UN design standards. The recommended
ordinance required all development in the CSHBD districts to incorporate a 15' step back for
buildings above 60’ in height. Staff believes that this language is in error and should be reversed
to eliminate any amendments to the step backs in the CSHBD districts. All development in the
CSHBD districts should incorporate a step back for buildings above 45’ in height. For buildings
that abut single or two-family districts, a step back shall be incorporated at 30’. Additionally,
development above 30’ in height in the FB-UN districts required a 15’ stepback. This was
mistakenly omitted from the draft ordinance. All development above 30’ in the FBUN districts
should incorporate a 15’ stepback. The current ordinance reflects these corrections.
Additionally, staff found the proposed ground floor use language limiting to strictly residential
buildings in specific zoning districts. The language was also confusing and could be difficult to
administer. Staff adjusted the language to address these concerns and the attached ordinance
reflects this change.
Additional alterations include the removal of the dash (-) in the design standard tables for each
zoning district. Staff removed the dash and replaced it with a blank for standards that do not
apply to specific districts. This change was made for the ease of future amendments.
PUBLIC PROCESS: The consultants, Design Workshop, hosted several stakeholder meetings
with community council representatives, members of the development community, business and
advocacy representatives, Downtown Alliance, as well as the Disability and Accessibility
Commission. The stakeholder groups provided vital direction and feedback on where additional
building height could be achieved and tolerated, current experience of the downtown area, as
well as known issues within applying the existing development regulations. Additionally, a
citywide survey was provided to the broader community, in which 456 individuals responded.
Stakeholder Meetings: Held as Zoom meetings and attendees participated via Mentimeter.

accordance with the provisions of Subsections G.1 through G.3 of this section.
1. Procedure For Modification: A modification to the height regulations, in this
Subsection G may be granted through the design review process in conformance with
the provisions of Chapter 21A.59 of this title. In evaluating an application submitted
pursuant to this section, the planning commission or in the case of an administrative
approval the planning director or designee, shall find that the increased height will
result in improved site layout and amenities.
2. Outdoor Usable Space: If additional height is approved, the site shall include outdoor
usable space for the building occupants that is equal to at least 10% of the gross floor
area of the additional floors. The outdoor usable area may be located within a wider
park strip that extends further into the right of way than the current park strip, in
midblock walkways that include a public access easement, in rooftop gardens, plazas,
or in a provided yard that exceeds the minimum yard requirement. The outdoor
usable space shall include a minimum dimension of at least 10’ by 10’.
3. Maximum Additional Height for Properties Outside of Boundary Identified in
Subsection G: Additional height shall be limited to 30’subject to the provisions in
Subsection G.2 for a maximum height of 105’.

H. Midblock Walkways: As part of the city’s plan for the downtown area, it is intended that
midblock walkways be provided to facilitate pedestrian movement within the area. The
city has adopted the Downtown Plan that includes a midblock walkway map and
establishes a need for such walkways as the Downtown area grows. Because the districts
within the downtown area allow building heights that exceed those of other districts in
the city, the requirement for a midblock walkway is considered to be necessary to
alleviate pedestrian impacts on the public sidewalks by dispersing future use of the public
sidewalks. This requirement implements the city’s Downtown Plan and provides visual
relief from the additional height that is available in these zone districts when compared to
the remainder of the city. All buildings constructed after the effective date hereof within
the Downtown zoning districts shall conform to this officially adopted plan for midblock
walkways, in addition to the following standards:
1. Any new development shall provide a midblock walkway if a midblock walkway on
the subject property has been identified in a master plan that has been adopted by the
city.
2. The following standards apply to the midblock walkway:
a. The midblock walkway must be a minimum of 15’ wide and include a minimum
6’ wide unobstructed path.
b. The midblock walkway may be incorporated into the building provided it is open
to the public. A sign shall be posted indicating that the public may use the
walkway.
c. Building encroachments into the midblock walkway are permitted if they include
one or more of the following elements:
(1) Colonnades;
(2) Staircases;
(3) Balconies – All balconies must be located at the third story or above;
(4) Building overhangs and associated cantilever - These coverings may be
between 9’ and 14’ above the level of the sidewalk. They shall provide a
minimum depth of coverage of six feet and project no closer to the curb than
three feet;
(5) Skybridge – A single skybridge is permitted. All skybridges must be located
at the third, fourth, or fifth stories; and
(6) Other architectural element(s) not listed above that offers refuge from weather
and/or provide publicly accessible usable space.

1 The midblock walkway must be a minimum of 15’ wide and include a minimum 6’ wide
unobstructed path.
I. Restrictions on Parking Lots and Structures: An excessive amount of at or above ground
parking lots and structures can negatively impact the urban design objectives of the
General Commercial (CG) District. To control such impacts, the following regulations
shall apply to parking facilities that are at or above ground:
1. Parking shall be located behind principal buildings or incorporated into the principal
building provided the parking is wrapped on street facing facades with a use allowed
in the zone other than parking.
2. Parking lots not wholly behind the principal building are limited to no more than two
double-loaded parking aisles (bays) adjacent to each other. The length of a parking lot
shall not exceed 10 stalls.
3. No special restrictions shall apply to belowground parking facilities.
4. Parking structures shall conform to the requirements set forth in Chapter 21A.37 of
this title.
5. All parking lot and structure landscaping must comply with the provisions set forth in

MW Midblock
Walkway As part of the city’s plan for the downtown area, it is intended that
midblock walkways be provided to facilitate pedestrian movement
within the area. The city has adopted the Downtown Plan that includes a
midblock walkway map and establishes a need for such walkways as
the Downtown grows. Because the districts within the downtown area
allow maximum building heights that exceeds those of other districts in
the city, the requirement for the midblock walkway is important to
maintain the overall scale and pedestrian nature of the downtown. This
requirement implements the city’s Downtown Plan and provides visual
relief from the additional height that is available in these zone districts
when compared to the remainder of the city. All buildings constructed
after the effective date hereof within the Downtown zoning districts

Midblock
Walkway
As part of the city’s plan for the downtown area, it is intended that
midblock walkways be provided to facilitate pedestrian movement within
the area. The city has adopted the Downtown Plan that includes a
midblock walkway map and establishes a need for such walkways as the
Downtown grows. Because the districts within the downtown area allow
39
maximum building heights that exceeds those of other districts in the city,
the requirement for the midblock walkway is important to maintain the
overall scale and pedestrian nature of the downtown. This requirement
implements the city’s Downtown Plan and provides visual relief from the
additional height that is available in these zone districts when compared
to the remainder of the city. All buildings constructed after the effective
date hereof within this district shall conform to this officially adopted
plan for midblock walkways, in addition to the following standards:
1. Any new development shall provide a midblock walkway if a
midblock walkway on the subject property has been identified in a
master plan that has been adopted by the city.
2. The following standards apply to the midblock walkway:
a. The midblock walkway must be a minimum of 15’ wide and
include a minimum 6’ wide unobstructed path.
b. The midblock walkway may be incorporated into the building
provided it is open to the public. A sign shall be posted
indicating that the public may use the walkway.
c. The following building encroachments are permitted in midblock
walkway. Under no circumstances shall a mid block walkway be
entirely covered.
(1) Colonnades;
(2) Staircases;
(3) Balconies – All balconies must be located at the third story
or above;
(4) Building overhangs and associated cantilever - These
coverings may be between 9 and 14’ above the level of the
sidewalk. They shall provide a minimum depth of coverage
of 6’ and project no closer to the curb than 3’;
(5) Skybridge – A single skybridge is permitted. All skybridges
must be located at the third, fourth, or fifth stories; and

42
A. Statement of Intent: The downtown districts are intended to provide use, bulk, urban
design and other controls and regulations appropriate to the commercial core of the city
and adjacent areas in order to enhance employment opportunities; to encourage the
efficient use of land; to enhance property values; to improve the design quality of
downtown areas; to create a unique downtown center which fosters the arts,
entertainment, financial, office, retail and governmental activities; to provide safety and
security; encourage permitted residential uses within the downtown area; and to help
implement adopted plans.
B. Permitted Uses: The uses specified as permitted uses in Section 21A.33.050, “Table of
Permitted and Conditional Uses for Downtown Districts”, of this title are permitted;
provided, that they comply with all requirements of this chapter, the general standards set
forth in Part IV of this title, and all other applicable requirements of this title.
1. Conditional Uses: The uses specified as conditional uses in Section 21A.33.050,
“Table of Permitted and Conditional Uses for Downtown Districts”, of this title, may
be allowed in the downtown districts provided they are approved pursuant to the
standards and procedures for conditional uses set forth in Chapter 21A.54 of this title,
and comply with all other applicable requirements.
C. Impact Controls and General Restrictions in the Downtown Districts:
1. Refuse Control: Refuse containers must be covered and shall be stored within
completely enclosed buildings or screened in conformance with the requirements of
Chapter 21A.48 of this title. For buildings existing as of April 12, 1995, this
screening provision shall be required if the floor area or parking requirements are
increased by twenty five percent (25%) or more by an expansion to the building or
change in the type of land use.
2. Lighting: On site lighting, including parking lot lighting and illuminated signs, shall
be located, directed or designed in such a manner so as not to create glare on adjacent
properties.
D. Outdoor Sales, Display and Storage: “Sales and display (outdoor)” and “storage and
display (outdoor)”, as defined in Chapter 21A.62 of this title, are allowed where
specifically authorized in Section 21A.33.050, “Table of Permitted and Conditional Uses
for Downtown Districts”, of this title. These uses shall conform to the following:
1. The outdoor sales or display of merchandise shall not encroach into areas of required
parking for periods longer than 30 days;
2. The outdoor sales or display of merchandise shall not be located in any required yard
area within the lot when the required yard abuts a residential zoning district;
3. The outdoor sales or display of merchandise shall not include the use of banners,
pennants or strings of pennants;
43
4. Outdoor storage shall be allowed only where specifically authorized in the applicable
district regulation and shall be required to be fully screened with opaque fencing not
to exceed eight feet in height; and
5. Outdoor sales and display and outdoor storage shall also be permitted when part of an
authorized temporary use as established in Chapter 21A.42 of this title.
E. Restrictions on Parking Lots and Structures: An excessive amount of at or above ground
parking lots and structures can negatively impact the urban design objectives of the
Downtown Zoning Districts. To control such impacts, the following regulations apply to
surface parking and above grade structures:
1. Parking shall be located behind principal buildings or incorporated into the principal
building provided the parking is wrapped on street facing facades with a use allowed
in the zone other than parking.
2. A parking lot shall not consist of more than two double-loaded parking aisles (bays)
adjacent to each other. The length of a parking lot shall not exceed 10 stalls. Parking
for government facilities necessary for public health and safety are exempt from this
provision.
Illustration of Regulation 21A.010.E.2 Surface Parking Lots
3. Parking lots, garages or parking structures, proposed as the only principal use on a
property that has frontage on a public street and that would result in a building
demolition are prohibited in the Downtown zoning districts.
4. No special restrictions shall apply to belowground parking facilities.
44
F. Midblock Walkways: As part of the city’s plan for the downtown area, it is intended that
midblock walkways be provided to increase pedestrian connectivity and overall livability
downtown through the creation of an intricate pedestrian network. The city has adopted
the Downtown Plan that includes a midblock walkway map and establishes a need for
such walkways as the Downtown grows. Because the districts within the downtown area
allow building heights that exceed those of other districts in the city, the requirement for
a midblock walkway is considered to be necessary to alleviate pedestrian impacts on the
public sidewalks by dispersing future use of the public sidewalks. All buildings
constructed after the effective date hereof within the Downtown zoning districts shall
conform to this officially adopted plan for midblock walkways, in addition to the
following standards:
1. Any new development shall provide a midblock walkway if a midblock walkway on
the subject property has been identified in a master plan that has been adopted by the
city.
2. The following standards apply to the midblock walkway:
a. The midblock walkway must be a minimum of 15’ wide and include a minimum
6’ wide unobstructed path.
b. The midblock walkway may be incorporated into the building provided it is open
to the public. A sign shall be posted indicating that the public may use the
walkway.
c. Building encroachments into the midblock walkway are permitted if they include
one or more of the following elements:
(1) Colonnades;
(2) Staircases;
(3) Balconies: All balconies must be located at the third story or above.
(4) Building overhangs and associated cantilever - These coverings may be
between 9 and 14’ above the level of the sidewalk. They shall provide a
minimum depth of coverage of six feet and project no closer to the curb than
three feet.
(5) Skybridge: A single skybridge is permitted. All skybridges must be located at
the third, fourth, or fifth stories.
(6) Other architectural element(s) not listed above that offers refuge from weather
and/or provide publicly accessible usable space.
Illustration of Regulation 21A.30.010.F Midblock Walkways
45
1 The midblock walkway must be a minimum of 15’ wide and include a minimum 6’ wide
unobstructed path.

SECTION 6. Amending the Text of Chapter 21A.31. That Chapter 21A.30 of the Salt
Lake City Code (Zoning: Gateway Districts), shall be and hereby is amended to read as follows:
CHAPTER 21A.31
GATEWAY DISTRICTS
SECTION:
21A.31.010: General Provisions
21A.31.020: G-MU Gateway-Mixed Use District
58
21A.31.010: GENERAL PROVISIONS:
A. Statement of Intent: The G-MU Gateway-Mixed Use District is intended to provide an
urban setting for residential and commercial, developments, and implement the objectives
of the Downtown Plan through district regulations that reinforce the mixed use character
of the area and encourage the development of urban neighborhoods containing supportive
retail, service commercial, office, and high density residential.
B. Uses: Uses in the G-MU Gateway-Mixed District as specified in Section 21A.33.060,
“Table of Permitted and Conditional Uses in the Gateway District”, of this title, are
permitted subject to the general provisions set forth in this section.
C. Permitted Uses: The uses specified as permitted uses, in Section 21A.33.060, “Table of
Permitted and Conditional Uses in the Gateway District”, of this title are permitted;
provided, that they comply with all requirements of this chapter, the general standards set
forth in Part IV of this title, and all other applicable requirements of this title.
D. Conditional Uses: The uses specified as conditional uses in Section 21A.33.060, “Table

permitted in the G-MU Gateway-Mixed Use District provided they are approved pursuant
to the standards and procedures for conditional uses set forth in Chapter 21A.54 of this
title.
E. Midblock Walkways: As part of the city’s plan for the downtown area, it is intended that
midblock walkways be provided to increase pedestrian connectivity and overall livability
downtown through the creation of an intricate pedestrian network. The city has adopted
the Downtown Plan that includes a midblock walkway map and establishes a need for
such walkways as the Downtown grows. Because the districts within the downtown area
allow building heights that exceed those of other districts in the city, the requirement for
a midblock walkway is considered to be necessary to alleviate pedestrian impacts on the
public sidewalks by dispersing future use of the public sidewalks. This requirement
implements the city’s Downtown Plan and provides visual relief from the additional
height that is available in these zone districts when compared to the remainder of the city.
All buildings constructed after the effective date hereof within the Downtown zoning
districts shall conform to this officially adopted plan for midblock walkways, in addition
to the following standards:
1. Any new development shall provide a midblock walkway if a midblock walkway on
the subject property has been identified in a master plan that has been adopted by the
city.
2. The following standards apply to the midblock walkway:
a. The midblock walkway must be a minimum of 15’ wide and include a minimum
6’ wide unobstructed path.
59
b. The midblock walkway may be incorporated into the building provided it is open
to the public. A sign shall be posted indicating that the public may use the
walkway.
c. Building encroachments into the midblock walkway are permitted if they include
one or more of the following elements:
(1) Colonnades;
(2) Staircases;
(3) Balconies: All balconies must be located at the third story or above;
(4) Building overhangs and associated cantilever - These coverings may be
between 9 and 14’ above the level of the sidewalk. They shall provide a
minimum depth of coverage of six feet and project no closer to the curb than
three feet;
(5) Skybridge: A single skybridge is permitted. All skybridges must be located at
the third, fourth, or fifth stories; and
(6) Other architectural element(s) not listed above that offers refuge from weather
and/or provide publicly accessible usable space.
Illustration of Regulation 21A.31.010.E2 Midblock Walkways
1 The midblock walkway must be a minimum of 15’ wide and include a minimum 6’ wide
unobstructed path.

privately owned with a public easement or publicly dedicated, that are desired by an
applicable master plan:
1. May transfer a portion or all of the above ground development square footage of the
proposed new midblock street to other land within the proposed development.
2. May increase the height of the building on the remaining land within the development
site to a height necessary to accommodate the development square footage of the
proposed right of way that is being transferred.
3. Any proposal under this section shall be subject to conformance with the standards
and procedures of Chapter 21A.59, “Design Review”, of this title.
H. Parking:
1. Belowground Parking Facilities: No special design and setback restrictions shall
apply to belowground parking facilities.
2. Landscape Requirements: Surface parking lots shall have a landscaped setback of at
least 20’ and meet interior landscaped requirements as outlined in Chapter 21A.48 of

process, subject to conformance with the standards and procedures of Chapter 21A.59
of this title. Such conditional uses shall also be subject to urban design evaluation.
4. Parking structures shall conform to the requirements set forth in Chapter 21A.37 of
this title.

21A.37.040: MODIFICATIONS OF DESIGN STANDARDS:
The planning director and/or planning commission may modify any of the design standards
identified in this chapter subject to the requirements of Chapter 21A.59, “Design Review”, of
this title. The applicant must demonstrate that the modification meets the intent for the
specific design standards requested to be modified, the standards for design review and any
adopted design guidelines that may apply.
A. The planning director may approve, approve with modifications, deny or refer to the
planning commission modifications to specific design standards when proposed as new
construction, an addition or modification to the exterior of an existing structure, or a
modification to an existing structure as authorized in Section 21A.59.040, Table
21A.59.040 or when authorized in the specific zoning district.
69
1. The director shall approve a request to modify a design standard if the director finds
that the proposal complies with the purpose of the individual zoning district, the
purpose of the individual design standards that are applicable to the project, the
proposed modification is compatible with the development pattern of other buildings
on the block face or on the block face on the opposite side of the street, and the
project is compliant with the applicable design standards (Sections 21A.37.050 and
21A.37.060).
2. The director may approve a request to modify a design standard with conditions or
modifications to the design if the director determines a modification is necessary to:
a. Comply with the purpose of the base zoning district;
b. Comply with the purpose of the applicable design standards of the base zoning;
c. Achieve compatibility with the development pattern of other buildings on the
block face or on the block face on the opposite side of the street;
d. Achieve the applicable design review objectives; or
e. Encourage the reuse of existing buildings when a modification to a noncomplying
building results in the building becoming closer to complying with a specific
design standard.
3. The director shall deny a request to modify a design standard if the design does not
comply with the purpose of the base zoning district, the purpose of the applicable
design standards or the applicable design review objectives and no modifications or
conditions of approval can be applied that would make the design comply.
4. The director may forward a request to modify a design standard to the planning
commission if the director finds that the request for modification is greater than
allowed by this chapter, a person receiving notice of the proposed modification can
demonstrate that the request will negatively impact their property, or at the request of
the applicant if the director is required to deny the request as provided in this section.
B. For properties subject to the H Historic Preservation Overlay District, the historic
landmark commission may modify any of the design standards in this chapter as part of
the review of the standards in Section 21A.34.020 of this title.
SECTION 10. Amending the Text of Section 21A.37.050. That Section 21A.37.050 of
the Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Design Standards: Design Standards Defined), shall be and
hereby is amended to read as follows:
21A.37.050: DESIGN STANDARDS DEFINED:
70
The design standards in this chapter are defined as follows. Each design standard includes a
specific definition of the standard and may include a graphic that is intended to help further
explain the standard; however, in cases where a conflict exists between the definition and the
graphic, the definition shall take precedence. The table that follows (Section 21A.37.060)
highlights the connection between each design standard and the zoning districts. It identifies
whether a standard is required or not. Standards that are required are identified by an X or a
number referencing the applicable standard. If there is a specific detail for the standard, it
will also be identified in the table.
A. Ground Floor Use and Visual Interest: This standard’s purpose is to increase the amount
of active uses and/or visual interest on the ground floor of a building. Active uses are
those that support the vibrancy and usability of the public realm adjacent to a building,
and encourage walk-in traffic. There are two options for achieving this, one dealing
solely with the amount of ground floor use, and the other combining a lesser amount of
ground floor use with increased visual interest in the building facade’s design. The
majority of the ground level facade of a building shall be placed parallel, and not at an
angle, to the street.
1. Ground Floor Use Only: This option requires that a portion of the length of any
street-facing building façade on the ground floor of a new principal building include a
permitted use, conditional use, or an amenity space within a residential building that
is only available for the residents of the building. The ground floor of all new
buildings shall have a minimum floor to ceiling height of 16’ and shall promote an
active pedestrian environment through inclusion of active uses that capture the
attention of a passer-by. Active uses include retail establishments, retail services,
civic spaces (theaters, museums, etc), restaurants, bars, art and craft studios, and other
uses determined to be substantially similar by the planning director and/or planning
commission. For buildings that are entirely residential, active uses may include
ground floor residential units. The ground floor use shall not consist of spaces that
discourage walk-in traffic, such as a residential mailroom, common room, back of
house functions, or private business offices associated with an active use. Allowed
uses shall occupy a minimum percentage of the length of the street facing facade
according to Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter. All portions of such ground floor
spaces shall extend a minimum of 25’ into the building. Parking may be located
behind these spaces.
a. For single-family attached uses, the required use depth may be reduced to ten feet
(10’).
b. The TSA (Transit Station Area), R-MU-35 (Residential Mixed-Use), R-MU-45
(Residential Mixed-Use), FB-UN2 (Form Based Urban Neighborhood), FB-UN3
(Form Based Urban Neighborhood), FBUN-SC (Form Based Urban
Neighborhood Special Corridor Core), FBUN-SE (Form Based Urban
71
Neighborhood Special Corridor Edge), CSHBD (Sugar House Business District)
are not subject to the 16’ minimum floor to ceiling height.
c. For single-family or two-family uses, garages occupying up to 50% of the length
of the ground floor building facade are exempt from this requirement.
d. For all other uses, vehicle entry and exit ways necessary for access to parking are
exempt from this requirement. Such accessways shall not exceed 30’ in width.
Individual dwelling unit garages do not qualify for this exemption.
e. Amenity space is defined as a portion of the public right of way adjacent to the
sidewalk, outside of the pedestrian walking area, which can include streetscape
elements, street furniture, landscaping, outdoor dining areas, and/or trees. It shall
only be counted for up to 25% of the length of the building façade. For corner
properties, each street facing building façade shall be allowed to have up to 25%
of the required ground floor to include amenity space. This is applicable in
districts where there are no front or side yard setback requirements. Amenity
spaces are subject to any necessary encroachment agreements that may be
required.
f. Areas such as kitchens, storage, bicycle parking, and other areas that are not
accessible to customers shall not be counted towards the requirement for ground
floor use and visual interest.
2. Ground Floor Use and Visual Interest: This option allows for some flexibility in the
amount of required ground floor use, but in return requires additional design
requirements for the purpose of creating increased visual interest and pedestrian
activity where the lower levels of buildings face streets or sidewalks. This option
identifies a required percentage of ground floor space that must be an active use, and
the percentage of the building which must provide visual interest. An applicant
utilizing this option must proceed through the design review process, Chapter
21A.59), for review of the project for determination of the project’s compliance with
those standards, and in addition, whether the design contributes to increased visual
interest through a combination of increased building material variety, architectural
features, facade changes, art, and colors; and, increased pedestrian activity through
permeability between the building and the adjacent public realm using niches, bays,
gateways, porches, colonnades, stairs or other similar features to facilitate pedestrian
interaction with the building.
\
72
B. Building Materials:
1. All buildings which have been altered over 75% on the exterior facade shall comply
with the material requirements detailed below. Buildings older than 50 years are
exempt from this requirement if alterations are consistent with the existing
architecture.
2. For the purpose of the requirements below, a durable material is defined as any
material that has a manufacturer’s warranty of a minimum of 20 years or is a natural
material such as stone or wood provided the wood is treated and maintained for
exterior use.
3. Ground Floor Building Materials: Other than windows and doors, a minimum amount
of the ground floor facade’s wall area of any street facing facade shall be clad in
durable materials according to Section 21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter.
Durable materials include stone, brick, masonry, textured or patterned concrete, fiber
cement board or other material that includes a minimum manufacturer warranty of 20
years from color fading, weather, and local climate induced degradation of the
material. Other materials may be used for the remainder of the ground floor facade
adjacent to a street. Other materials proposed to satisfy the durable requirement may
be approved at the discretion of the planning director if it is found that the proposed
material is durable and is appropriate for the ground floor of a structure.
Illustration of Regulation 21A.37.050.A.2 Ground Floor Use and Visual Interest
1 Contribute to increased visual interest through a combination of increased
building material variety, architectural features, facade changes, art, and colors.
2 Contribute to increased pedestrian activity through a clear visual relationship between the
building and the adjacent public realm using niches, bays, gateways, porches, colonnades, stairs
or other similar features.
73
4. Upper Floor Building Materials: Floors above the ground floor level shall include
durable materials on a minimum amount of any street facing building facade of those
additional floors according to Section 21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter.
Windows and doors are not included in that minimum amount. Durable materials
include stone, brick, masonry, textured or patterned concrete, and fiber cement board
or other material that includes a minimum manufacturer warranty of 20 years from
color fading, weather, and local climate induced degradation of the material.
C. Glass:
1. Ground Floor Glass: The ground floor building elevation of all new buildings facing a
street, and all new ground floor additions facing a street, shall have a minimum
percentage of glass, as calculated between three feet and eight feet above grade
according to Section 21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter. All ground floor
glass shall allow unhampered and unobstructed visibility into the building for a depth
of at least five feet, excluding any glass etching and window signs when installed and
permitted in accordance with Chapter 21A.46, “Signs”, of this title. The planning
director may approve a modification to ground floor glass requirements if the
planning director finds:
a. The requirement would negatively affect the historic character of an existing
building;
b. The requirement would negatively affect the structural stability of an existing
building; or
c. The ground level of the building is occupied by residential uses that face the
street, in which case the specified minimum glass requirement may be reduced by
15%.
74
2. Upper Floor Glass: Above the first floor of any multi-story building, the surface area
of the facade of each floor facing a street must contain a minimum percentage of
glass according to Section 21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter.
a. Reflective Glass: The maximum percentage of reflective glass, defined as glass
with a coating that creates a mirror-like appearance, is allowed according to
Section 21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter, on both the ground floor
and upper floor of buildings.
D. Building Entrances: A building entrance is defined as an entrance to a building that
includes a door and entry feature such as a recess or canopy that provides customers with
direct access to the use. For the purpose of this provision, an operable building entrance
shall be open and accessible during the hours that the business is open and comply with
applicable ADA standards. At least one operable building entrance on the ground floor is
required for every street facing facade. Additional operable building entrances shall be
required, at a minimum, at each specified length of street facing building facade
according to Section 21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter. The center of each
additional entrance shall be located within six feet either direction of the specified
location. Each ground floor nonresidential leasable space facing a street shall have an

D, D-1)
1 The ground floor building elevation of all new buildings facing a street, and all new ground floor
additions facing a street, shall have a minimum percentage of glass as indicated in the associated
tables in this chapter, between three feet and eight feet above grade.
75%
75
operable entrance facing that street and a walkway to the nearest sidewalk. Corner
entrances, when facing a street and located at approximately a 45° angle to the two
adjacent building facades (chamfered corner), may count as an entrance for both of the
adjacent facades.
E. Maximum Length of Blank Wall: The maximum length of any blank wall uninterrupted
by windows, doors, art or architectural detailing at the ground floor level along any street
facing facade shall be as specified according to Section 21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of
this chapter. Changes in plane, texture, materials, scale of materials, patterns, art, or other
architectural detailing are acceptable methods to create variety and scale. This shall
include architectural features such as bay windows, recessed or projected entrances,
windows, balconies, cornices, columns, or other similar architectural features. The
architectural feature shall be either recessed a minimum of 12” or projected a minimum
of 12”.
Illustration of Regulation 21A.37.050.D Building Entrances (References the measurements in Table D,
D-1)
1 At least one operable building entrance on the ground floor is required for every street facing
facade. Additional operable building entrances shall be required, at a minimum distance as
indicated in the associated tables in this chapter.
76
F. Maximum Length of Street Facing Facades: This requirement sets the maximum length
of a single street facing façade of a structure. The purpose of this is to have building
massing that better responds to human scale to create a walkable pedestrian environment.
No street facing building wall may be longer than specified along a street line according
to Section 21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter. A minimum of 20’ is required
between separate buildings when multiple buildings are placed on a single parcel
according to Subsection 21A.36.010.B, “One Principal Building Per Lot”, of this title.
The space between buildings shall include a pedestrian walkway at least five feet wide.
G. Upper Floor Stepback:
1. The upper floor stepback for street facing facades is dependent on the height of the
building according to Section 21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter. For
buildings that are between 78’ to 104’, or between 6 and 8 stories, a minimum
stepback of 10’ is required at least 25’ above grade. For buildings above 105’, or 8
stories, the step back shall be a minimum of 15’ from the property line. The stepback
Illustration of Regulation 21A.37.050.E Maximum Length of Blank Wall (References the
measurements in Table D, Downtown Districts)
1 The maximum length of any blank wall uninterrupted by windows, doors, art or architectural
detailing at the ground floor level along any street facing façade shall be limited to the specified
measurement indicated in the associated table in this chapter.
2 The architectural feature shall be either recessed a minimum of 12” or projected a minimum of
12”.
77
shall appear after the first two to five floors. In addition to these provisions, 20% of
the entire building façade can meet the street at the lot line with no stepback. An
alternative to this street facing facade stepback requirement may be utilized for
buildings limited to 45’ or less in height by the zoning ordinance: those buildings may
provide a 4’ minimum depth canopy, roof structure, or balcony that extends from the
face of the building toward the street at a height of between 12’ and 15’ above the
adjacent sidewalk. Such extension(s) shall extend horizontally parallel to the street for
a minimum of 50% of the face of the building and may encroach into a setback as
permitted per Section 21A.36.020, Table 21A.36.020.B, “Obstructions in Required
Yards”, of this title.
2. Stepbacks are required for full floors above the height, according to Section
21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter, measured from average finished grade
that have facades facing single- or two-family residential districts with a permitted
height that is 35’ or less, a public trail or public open space. The purpose of this
Illustration of Regulation 21A.37.050.G1 Upper Floor Stepback
1 For buildings that are between 78’ to 104’, or between 6 and 8 stories, a minimum stepback of 10’
is required at least 25’ above grade. The stepback shall appear after the first 26’ to 65’, or 2 to 5
floors. In addition to these provisions, 20% of the entire building façade can meet the street at the
lot line with no stepback.
2 For buildings above 104’, or 8 stories, the stepback shall be a minimum of 15’ from the property
line. The stepback shall appear after the first 26’ to 65’, or 2 to 5 floors. In addition to these
provisions, 20% of the entire building façade can meet the street at the lot line with no stepback.
78
provision is to reduce the impact that buildings over a certain height have on abutting
properties when the abutting properties have a permitted height that is 35’ or less.
3. For street facing facades the first full floor, and all additional floors, above thirty feet
(30’) in height from average finished grade shall be stepped back a minimum
horizontal distance from the front line of building, according to Section 21A.37.060,
Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter. An alternative to this street facing facade step back
requirement may be utilized for buildings limited to forty five feet (45’) or less in
height by the zoning ordinance: those buildings may provide a four foot (4’)
minimum depth canopy, roof structure, or balcony that extends from the face of the
building toward the street at a height of between twelve feet (12’) and fifteen feet
(15’) above the adjacent sidewalk. Such extension(s) shall extend horizontally
parallel to the street for a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the face of the building
and may encroach into a setback as permitted per Section 21A.36.020, Table
21A.36.020.B, “Obstructions in Required Yards”, of this title.
4. Floors rising above thirty feet (30’) in height shall be stepped back fifteen (15)
horizontal feet from the building foundation at grade for building elevations that are
adjacent to a public street, public trail, or public open space. This stepback does not
apply to buildings that have balconies on floors rising above thirty feet (30’) in
height.
H. Exterior Lighting: All exterior lighting shall be shielded and directed down to prevent
light trespass onto adjacent properties. Exterior lighting shall not strobe, flash or flicker.
I. Parking Lot Lighting: If a parking lot/structure is adjacent to a residential zoning district
or land use, any poles for the parking lot/structure security lighting are limited to 16’ in
height and the globe must be shielded and the lighting directed down to minimize light
encroachment onto adjacent residential properties or into upper level residential units in
multi-story buildings. Lightproof fencing is required adjacent to residential properties.
J. Screening of Mechanical Equipment: All mechanical equipment for a building shall be
screened from public view and sited to minimize their visibility and impact. Examples of
such impact-minimizing siting include on the roof, enclosed or otherwise integrated into
the architectural design of the building, or in a rear or side yard area subject to yard
location restrictions found in Section 21A.36.020, Table 21A.36.020.B, “Obstructions in
Required Yards”, of this title.
K. Screening of Service Areas: Service areas, loading docks, refuse containers, utility
meters, and similar areas shall be fully screened from public view. All screening
enclosures viewable from the street shall be either incorporated into the building
architecture or shall incorporate building materials and detailing compatible with the
building being served. Waste and loading facilities are prohibited from being located on
street-facing facades and shall be co-located and screened when possible. Exceptions to
79
this requirement may be approved by the planning director when the service provides
power or some form of utilities in and around the surrounding area. Exemptions may also
be approved through the site plan review process when a permit applicant demonstrates
that it is not feasible to accommodate these activities on the block interior. If such
activities are permitted adjacent to a public street, a visual screening design approved by
the planning director shall be required.
All screening devices shall be a minimum of one foot higher than the object being
screened, and in the case of fences and/or masonry walls the height shall not exceed eight
feet. Dumpsters must be located a minimum of 25’ from any building on an adjacent lot
that contains a residential dwelling or be located inside of an enclosed building or
structure.
L. Ground Floor Residential Entrances for Dwellings with Individual Unit Entries: For the
zoning districts listed in Section 21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter, all
attached dwellings including attached single-family dwellings, townhomes, row houses,
multi-family developments with ground floor uses, and other similar housing types
located on the ground floor shall have a primary entrance facing the street for each unit
adjacent to a street. Units may have a primary entrance located on a courtyard, midblock
walkway, or other similar area if the street facing facades also have a primary entrance.
M. Parking Garages or Structures: The following standards shall apply to parking garages or
structures whether stand alone or incorporated into a building:
1. Parking structures shall have an external skin designed to improve visual character
when adjacent to a public street or other public space. Examples include heavy gauge
metal screen, precast concrete panels; live green or landscaped walls, laminated or
safety glass, decorative photovoltaic panels or match the building materials and
character of the principal use. The planning director may approve other decorative
materials not listed if the materials are in keeping with the decorative nature of the
parking structure.
2. Facade elements shall align to parking levels and there shall be no sloped surfaces
visible from a public street, public trail or public open space.
3. Internal circulation must be designed such that parking surfaces are level (or without
any slopes) along all primary facades. All ramping between levels need to be placed
along the secondary facade or to the center of the structure. Parking structures shall
be designed to conceal the view of all parked cars and drive ramps from public
spaces.
4. Elevator and stairs shall be highlighted architecturally so visitors can easily access
these entry points both internally and externally.
80
5. Signage and wayfinding shall be integrated with the architecture of the parking
structure and be architecturally compatible with the design. The entrances of public
parking structures shall be clearly signed from public streets.
6. Interior garage lighting shall not produce glaring sources toward adjacent properties
while providing safe and adequate lighting levels. The use of sensor dimmable LEDs
and white stained ceilings are a good strategy to control light levels on site while
improving energy efficiency.
7. Where a driveway crosses a public sidewalk, the driveway shall be a different color,
texture, or paving material than the sidewalk to warn drivers of the possibility of
pedestrians in the area.
8. The ground floor of all parking structures shall be wrapped along all street frontages
with habitable space that is occupied by a use that is allowed in the zone as a
permitted or conditional use.
9. Parking structures shall be designed to minimize vehicle noise and odors on the
public realm. Venting and fan locations shall not be located next to public spaces and
shall be located as far as possible from adjacent residential land uses.
10. If the parking structure is adjacent to a midblock walkway, pedestrian oriented
elements shall be provided. These may include, but are not limited to seating and
vegetation.
N. Residential Character in RB District:
1. All roofs shall be pitched and of a hip or gable design except additions or expansions
to existing buildings may be of the same roof design as the original building;
2. The remodeling of residential buildings for retail or office use shall be allowed only if
the residential character of the exterior is maintained;
3. The front building elevation shall contain not more than 50% glass;
4. Signs shall conform with special sign regulations of Chapter 21A.46, “Signs”, of this
title;
5. Building orientation shall be to the front or corner side yard; and
6. Building additions shall consist of materials, color and exterior building design
consistent with the existing structure, unless the entire structure is resurfaced.
O. Primary Entrance Design in SNB District: Primary entrance design shall consist of at
least two of the following design elements at the primary entrance, so that the primary
entrance is architecturally prominent and clearly visible from the abutting street.
1. Architectural details such as arches, friezes, tile work, canopies, or awnings.
2. Integral planters or wing walls that incorporate landscape or seating.
3. Enhanced exterior light fixtures such as wall sconces, light coves with concealed light
sources, or decorative pedestal lights.
81
4. A repeating pattern of pilasters projecting from the facade wall by a minimum of
eight inches or architectural or decorative columns.
5. Recessed entrances that include a minimum stepback of two feet from the primary
facade and that include glass on the sidewalls.
P. Streetscape Standards: These standards are required for landscaping that is within the
public right of way. This is defined as the space between the private property line and the
back of the curb.
1. Tree Canopy Coverage: No tree canopy shall cover less than the specified percentage according to Section 21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter. The defined percentage represents the canopy coverage at maturity. At installation, a minimum of 20% of all trees shall have a minimum caliper of 3”.
2. Minimum Vegetation Standards: The percentage of vegetation shall be no less than the specified amount according to Chapter 21A.48. The vegetation shall be planted in the public right of way.
Illustration of Regulation 21A.37.050.P.1 Tree Canopy Coverage
1 No tree canopy coverage shall cover less than the specified percentage according to Section 21A.37.060, Table 21A.37.060 of this chapter.
Illustration of Regulation 21A.37.050.P.2 Minimum Vegetation Standards (References the measurements in Table D, Downtown Districts)
82
3. Street Trees: Street trees are required and subject to the regulations in Section 21A.48.080. In addition to those standards, for every new development, there shall be one street tree planted for every 30’ of street frontage. 4. Soil Volume: In order to promote street tree health and longevity, each tree shall have an adequate volume of soil. The soil volume surrounding a tree shall be 750ft3 to 1,000ft3 per tree, provided that this area is exclusive of the soils volume calculation for adjacent trees. The soil volume may be reduced if under ground utilities are present within the soil volume and the soil volume cannot be extended horizontally due to other obstructions or barriers.
1 The percentage of vegetation shall be no less than the specified percentage according to Chapter 21A.48.
2 Vegetation shall be planted in the public right of way.
Illustration of Regulation 21A.37.050.P.4 Soil Volume
1 The soil volume surrounding a tree shall be 750ft3 to 1,000ft3 per tree, provided that this area is exclusive of the soils volume calculation for adjacent trees.
83
5. Minimize Curb Cuts: As an effort to emphasize the public realm and encourage the safety of pedestrians, places where cars intersect the street shall be minimized. More specifically, curb cuts are encouraged to be concentrated at midblock and alley locations. The sidewalk material shall continue at ground level of the curb cuts.
6. Overhead Cover: Overhead covers are required at building entrances to provide weather protection to pedestrians and may encroach into a required yard as indicated in this section or into a public right of way with an approved encroachment agreement with the City. These coverings are required to be between 9 and 14’ above the level of the sidewalk. They shall also provide coverage with a minimum depth of 6’ and project no closer to the curb than 3’.

84
7. Streetscape Landscaping: All vegetation used along the streetscape must comply with the landscape requirements set forth in Chapter 21A.48. Q. Height Transitions: This measurement is applied to control the size and shape of the building envelope or portion thereof for such purposes as promoting transition in scale between buildings of different height, protecting access to sunlight, and/or limiting shadow and overlook on neighboring properties. A transition may be achieved by relating a building’s form to those that surround it through the following way. An angular plane of 45°, measured from the relevant property lines, should be used to provide a frame of reference for transition in scale from proposed high-rise buildings down to lower scale areas. The transition is required when development is directly adjacent to a zone with a height maximum of 35’ or less or adjacent to a local historic landmark site. These standards do not apply when a right of way separates the buildings.
1 The shade structure shall occur between 9 and 14’ above the level of the sidewalk.
The shade shall provide a minimum coverage of 6’ in width.
The cover shall project no closer than 3’ to the curb.
Illustration of Regulation 21A.37.050.Q Height Transitions
85
R. Horizontal articulation: Buildings shall be designed in such a way that they are appropriately scaled to the pedestrian at the street level. This scale is emphasized through authentic breaks in the façade. These breaks shall be articulated on the primary façade to the full height of the building to the cornice or to the full height of the building to the first horizontal setback. There may be a maximum spacing of 60’ for horizontal articulation. Horizontal articulation shall be achieved through one of the following architectural features: a. Bay windows: Bay windows shall be a minimum of two feet in depth and four feet in width; or b. Recessed entrances or windows: These shall be recessed a minimum of four feet in depth and six feet in width. Canopies or awnings are required at primary building entries; or c. Niches: Niches shall be a minimum of two feet in depth and four feet in width; or d. Openings for gates that are a minimum of four feet in width; or e. Porches measuring at least 48 square feet; or f. Colonnades that are a minimum of four feet in width.
1 An angular plane of 45°, measured from the relevant property lines, should be used to provide a frame of reference for transition in scale from proposed high-rise buildings down to lower scale areas. The transition is required when development is adjacent to a zone with a height maximum of 35’ or less or adjacent to a local historic landmark site.

SECTION 11. Amending the Text of Section 21A.37.060. That Section 21A.37.060 of
the Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Design Standards: Design Standards Required in Each Zoning
District), shall be and hereby is amended to read as follows:
21A.37.060: DESIGN STANDARDS REQUIRED IN EACH ZONING DISTRICT:
This section identifies each design standard and to which zoning districts the standard
applies. If a box is checked (X), that standard is required. If a box is blank, it is not required.
If a specific dimension or detail of a design standard differs among zoning districts or differs
from the definition, it will be indicated within the box. In cases where a dimension in this

zoning or use approval shall be issued until the director has approved the
off-site parking arrangement and the documentation has been recorded in
the office of the Salt Lake County Recorder.
(3) If the off-site parking arrangement is later terminated or modified and the
planning director determines that the termination or modification has
resulted in traffic congestion, overflow parking in residential
neighborhoods, or threats to pedestrian, bicycle, or vehicle safety, the
property owners of the uses for which the off-site parking was provided

for minor modifications to applicable design standards, and b) ensure high quality outcomes
for larger developments that have a significant impact on the city. The intent of the process to
review applications for minor modifications to applicable design standards is to allow some
flexibility in how the design standards are administered by recognizing that this title cannot
anticipate all development issues that may arise. The intent of the process to review larger
developments is to verify new developments are compatible with their surroundings, impacts
to public infrastructure and public spaces are addressed, and that new development helps
achieve development goals outlined in the adopted master plans of the city as identified in
the purpose statements of each zoning district.
21A.59.020: AUTHORITY:
Design review shall be required pursuant to the provisions of this chapter for developments
and alternate building and site design features as specified within individual zoning districts
before building permits may be issued.
A. Administrative Review: The planning director may approve, approve with modifications,
deny or refer to the planning commission modifications to specific design standards when
proposed as new construction, an addition or modification to the exterior of an existing
structure, or a modification to an existing structure as authorized in Section 21A.59.040,
Table 21A.59.040 of this chapter or when authorized in the specific zoning district.

proposed modification is compatible with the development pattern of other buildings
on the block face or on the block face on the opposite side of the street, and the
project is compliant with the applicable design review objectives (Section 21A.59.050
of this chapter).
2. The director may approve a request to modify a design standard with conditions or
modifications to the design if the director determines a modification is necessary to
comply with the purpose of the base zoning district, the purpose of the applicable
design standards of the base zoning, to achieve compatibility with the development
pattern of other buildings on the block face or on the block face on the opposite side
of the street, or to achieve the applicable design review objectives.
3. The director shall deny a request to modify a design standard if the design does not
comply with the purpose of the base zoning district, the purpose of the applicable
design standards or the applicable design review objectives and no modifications or
conditions of approval can be applied that would make the design comply.
4. The director may forward a request to modify a design standard to the planning
commission if the director finds that the request for modification is greater than
allowed by this chapter, a person receiving notice of the proposed modification can
114
demonstrate that the request will negatively impact their property, or at the request of
the applicant if the director is required to deny the request as provided in this section.

5. Projects in the TSA Transit Station Area District that have a development score that
requires planning commission review and approval.
C. Planning Commission Decisions: When reviewing design review applications, the
planning commission may take any of the following actions:
1. The commission shall approve a project if it finds that the proposal complies with the
purpose of the zoning district and applicable overlay district(s), the purpose of the
individual design standards that are applicable to the project, and the project is
compliant with the applicable design review objectives found in this chapter.
2. The commission may approve a project with conditions or modifications to the design
if it determines a modification is necessary to comply with the purpose of the base
zoning district, the purpose of the applicable design standards of the base zoning, or
the applicable design review objectives.
3. The commission shall deny the design of a project if the design does not comply with
the purpose of the base zoning district, the purpose of the applicable design standards
or the applicable design review objectives and no modifications or conditions of
approval can be applied that would make the design comply.

21A.59.045: DESIGN REVIEW STANDARDS APPLICABILITY:
A. Design Review applications shall be reviewed for compliance with the design review
standards of Section 21A.59.050, as follows:
1. General Modification Requests: Applications to modify a design standard in Chapter
21A.37, or other zoning standard specifically authorized for modification through
design review, shall be reviewed for compliance with the design review standards that
are directly related to the purpose of the associated regulation requested for
modification.
117
2. Additional Height or Square Footage Requests: Applications required to go through
design review due to a height or square footage regulation shall be reviewed for
compliance with all design review standards.
3. Transit Station Area Requests: For properties in a Transit Station Area District,
applications required to go through design review due to not meeting the minimum
points for administrative approval shall be reviewed for compliance with all design
review standards.
4. All Other Requests: Any application not covered by Subsections 1 through 3 above,
shall be subject to review for compliance with all design review standards.
B. Exception: For those applications required to be reviewed against all design review
standards, if an application complies with a standard in the base zoning district or with an
applicable requirement in Chapter 21A.37 of this title, and that standard is directly related
to a standard found in this section, the planning commission shall find that application
complies with the specific standard for design review found in this section.
1. If there is no directly related zoning district standard or applicable requirement in
Chapter 21A.37 of this title related to the design review standard, then the design
review standard applies, and the commission shall not by default make the above
finding.
C. Alternatives: An applicant may propose an alternative to a standard for design review
provided the proposal is consistent with the intent of the standard for design review.
21A.59.050: STANDARDS FOR DESIGN REVIEW:
A. Any new development shall comply with the intent of the purpose statement of the
zoning district and specific design regulations found within the zoning district in which
the project is located as well as the city’s adopted “urban design element” and adopted
master plan policies and design guidelines governing the specific area of the proposed
development.
B. Development shall be primarily oriented to the sidewalk, not an interior courtyard or
parking lot.
1. Primary entrances shall face the public sidewalk (secondary entrances can face a
parking lot).
2. Building(s) shall be sited close to the public sidewalk, following and responding to
the desired development patterns of the neighborhood.
3. Parking shall be located within, behind, or to the side of buildings.
C. Building facades shall include detailing and glass in sufficient quantities to facilitate
pedestrian interest and interaction.
118
1. Locate active ground floor uses at or near the public sidewalk.
2. Maximize transparency of the street facing facades by prohibiting covering the
ground floor glass with reflective treatments, interior walls, and other similar features
that prevent passers-by from seeing inside of the building for non-residential uses.
3. Use or reinterpret traditional storefront elements like sign bands, clerestory glazing,
articulation, and architectural detail at window transitions.
4. Locate outdoor dining patios, courtyards, plazas, habitable landscaped yards, and
open spaces so that they have a direct visual connection to the street and outdoor
spaces.
D. Large building masses shall be divided into heights and sizes that relate to human scale.
1. Relate building scale and massing to the size and scale of existing and anticipated
buildings, such as alignments with established cornice heights, building massing,
step-backs and vertical emphasis.
2. Modulate the design of a larger building using a series of vertical or horizontal
emphases to equate with the scale (heights and widths) of the buildings in the context
and reduce the visual width or height.
3. Include secondary elements such as balconies, porches, vertical bays, belt courses,
fenestration and window reveals.
4. Reflect the scale and solid-to-void ratio of windows and doors of the established
character of the neighborhood or that which is desired in the master plan.
E. Building facades that exceed a combined contiguous building length of two hundred feet
(200’) shall include:
1. Changes in vertical plane (breaks in facade);
2. Material changes;
3. Massing changes;
4. A minimum of 80% of the ground floor must be used for active, publicly accessible
uses. Active uses are those that promote an active pedestrian environment through
inclusion of uses that capture the attention of a passer-by. This includes retail
establishments, retail services, civic spaces (theaters, museums, etc), restaurants, bars,
art and craft studios, and other uses determined to be substantially similar by the
planning director and/or commission; and
5. Stepback must be a minimum of 10’ from the base of the building. This allows the
base to be the primary defining element for the site and the adjacent public realm,
reducing wind impacts, and opening sky views.
The maximum height of the base of a proposed building should be equal to the width
of the right of way if allowed in the zoning district to provide sufficient enclosure for
the street without overwhelming the street. The minimum height of the base must be
at least two stories.
119
A building over 200’ in width shall include necessary separation from property lines
to minimize the impact of shadows and development rights of adjacent properties.
F. If provided, privately-owned public spaces shall include at least three of the six following
elements:
1. At least one sitting space for each 250 square feet shall be included in the plaza.
Seating shall be a minimum of 16” in height and 30” in width. Ledge benches shall
have a minimum depth of 30”;
2. A mixture of areas that provide seasonal shade;
3. Trees in proportion to the space at a minimum of one tree per 800 square feet, at least
2” caliper when planted;
4. Water features or public art;
5. Outdoor dining areas; and
6. Other amenities not listed above that provide a public benefit.
G. Building height shall be modified to relate to human scale and minimize negative
impacts. In downtown and in the CSHBD Sugar House Business District, building height
shall contribute to a distinctive city skyline.
1. Human scale:
a. Utilize stepbacks to design a building that relate to the height and scale of
adjacent and nearby buildings, or where identified, goals for future scale defined
in adopted master plans.
b. The minimum stepback for any building located in a zoning district that does not
contain an upper level stepback provision shall be 10’. This stepback is only
required for applications requesting additional height when authorized in the
underlying zoning district. The stepback shall be applied to the first full floor of
the building that is seeking the request for additional height.
c. For buildings more than three stories or buildings with vertical mixed use,
compose the design of a building with distinct base, to reduce the sense of
apparent height.
2. Negative impacts: All buildings seeking additional height as authorized in the
underlying zoning district shall be subject to the following standards:
a. Modulate taller buildings vertically and horizontally so that it steps up or down to
its neighbors.
b. Minimize shadow impacts of building height on the public realm and semi-public
spaces by varying building massing. Demonstrate impact from shadows due to
building height for the portions of the building that are subject to the request for
additional height.
120
c. Modify tall buildings to minimize wind impacts on public and private spaces,
such as the inclusion of a wind break above the first level of the building.
d. Design and orient to prevent snow, ice, or water from falling directly onto a
public sidewalk, public space, neighboring property, or directly onto the walkway
leading to the building entrance.
3. Cornices and rooflines:
a. Cohesiveness: Shape and define rooflines to be cohesive with the building’s
overall form and composition. The roofline and architectural detailing, including
cornices, shall be complimentary to the structure’s scale, material, color, and form
and create a change in plane of at least 6 inches, a change in material, utilizing at
least one visible sloping plan along a minimum of 50% of the roofline on building
elevations facing a street, or a change in material orientation to define the roof
line of the building.
b. Green Roof and Roof Deck: Include a green roof and/or accessible roof deck to
support a more visually compelling roof landscape and reduce solar gain, air
pollution, and the amount of water entering the stormwater system.
H. Parking and on site circulation shall be provided with an emphasis on making safe
pedestrian connections to the sidewalk, transit facilities, or midblock walkway. Parking is
encouraged to be behind the principal building and away from pedestrian walkways.
Parking lots and structures shall be setback a minimum of 25’ from required midblock
pedestrian access locations or as required in the underlying zoning district if the
underlying zoning requires a larger setback.
I. Waste and recycling containers, mechanical equipment, storage areas, and loading docks
shall be fully screened from public view and, for buildings with only one street-facing
frontage, are prohibited from being located along street-facing facades. They shall
incorporate building materials and detailing compatible with the building being served
and shall be co-located with driveways unless prohibited by the presence of a street tree,
public infrastructure, or public facility within the right of way. Service uses may be
located within the structure. (See Subsection 21A.37.050.K of this title.)
J. Signage shall emphasize the pedestrian/mass transit orientation.
1. Define specific spaces for signage that are integral to building design, such as
commercial sign bands framed by a material change, columns for blade signs, or
other clearly articulated band on the face of the building.
2. Coordinate signage locations with appropriate lighting, awnings, and other
projections.
3. Coordinate sign location with landscaping to avoid conflicts.
121
K. Lighting shall support pedestrian comfort and safety, neighborhood image, and dark sky
goals.
1. Provide street lights as indicated in the Salt Lake City Lighting Master Plan.
2. Outdoor lighting should be designed for low-level illumination and to minimize glare
and light trespass onto adjacent properties and uplighting directly to the sky.
3. Coordinate lighting with architecture, signage, and pedestrian circulation to
accentuate significant building features, improve sign legibility, and support
pedestrian comfort and safety.
L. Streetscape improvements shall be provided as follows:
1. One street tree chosen from the street tree list consistent with the city’s urban forestry
guidelines and, with the approval of the city’s urban forester, shall be placed for every
30’ of property frontage on a street. Existing street trees removed as the result of a
development project shall be replaced by the developer with trees approved by the
city’s urban forester.
2. Hardscape (paving material) shall be utilized to differentiate privately-owned public
spaces from public spaces. Hardscape for public sidewalks shall follow applicable
design standards. Permitted materials for privately-owned public spaces shall meet
the following standards:
a. Use materials that are durable (withstand wear, pressure, damage), require a
minimum of maintenance, and are easily repairable or replaceable should damage
or defacement occur.
b. Where practical, as in lower-traffic areas, use materials that allow rainwater to
infiltrate into the ground and recharge the water table.
c. Limit contribution to urban heat island effect by limiting use of dark materials and
incorporating materials with a high Solar- Reflective Index (SRI).
d. Utilize materials and designs that have an identifiable relationship to the character
of the site, the neighborhood, or Salt Lake City.
e. Use materials (like textured ground surfaces) and features (like ramps and seating
at key resting points) to support access and comfort for people of all abilities.
f. Asphalt shall be limited to vehicle drive aisles.
21A.59.060: TIME LIMIT ON APPROVED APPLICATIONS FOR DESIGN

RE: Downtown Building Heights & Street Activation Text Amendment
Dear Planning Commissioners,
The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is intensely interested in Salt Lake City’s effort to assess potential height
increases in its downtown zones and would encourage maximizing development potential within the station
area, particularly on the parcels immediately adjacent to Salt Lake Central Station.
UTA, in collaboration with the Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency (SLC-RDA), is preparing for the
redevelopment of a significant amount of property around North Temple and Salt Lake Central Stations. The
concept for Central Station envisions a substantial, mixed-use structure, opposite the Historic Rio Grande
Depot, bookending the city’s planned 300 South festival street. It will include significant improvements to
pedestrian and passenger amenities, providing a drastically improved transit gateway experience to the city.
It will also include space for UTA’s relocated headquarters, replacing its current building, which is aging and
in poor seismic condition. Moving UTA’s administrative functions to Salt Lake Central will build on the
development activity along 200 South and the Salt Lake City RDA’s plans for properties within the Depot
District.
Salt Lake Central and the Depot District are at the intersection of the most transit-connected location in the
state. To maximize this opportunity, UTA will explore providing additional space beyond its own needs. UTA
plans to construct as many additional floors as the city will allow and the market will support. This would
capitalize on the transit investments the city and state have made in the neighborhood by encouraging more
ridership and decreasing the impact of single occupancy commuter trips into the downtown core.
The proposed code changes before the Planning Commission, affecting building heights in the Gateway Mixed
Use District, are a positive step in the right direction. However, UTA is concerned that artificially limiting
heights near the station will unduly restrain the potential of Salt Lake Central and surrounding development.
UTA requests the Planning Commission consider further increasing height allowances, or eliminating height
limitations altogether, in this critical location for commercial mixed uses and office before advancing this
proposal to City Council. We recognize that the city may desire to retain control, through design review or
other means, but feel the benefit to the city and value of increased land use intensity around this regionally
significant transit hub warrant additional consideration.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Carlton J. Christensen
Chair of the Board of Trustees

RE: 792 West 900 South & 875 South 800 West Zoning Map Amendment
PLNPCM2022-00587
BRIEFING UPDATE
During the April 4, 2023 briefing Council Members discussed potential alternative zoning that might be
more appropriate for the subject parcels. Planning staff noted multi-family developments on small lots is
difficult, and the proposed R-MU zoning designation is one of the few zones that does not require larger
setbacks than would be possible on these small parcels. The petitioner stated there are utility easements on
the south and west sides of the parcels that effectively act as setbacks. If approved, the petitioner would
likely need to seek a planned development prior to construction of the proposed fourplexes to reduce
required minimum lot widths.
The need for more density in the area was discussed, along with a desire for more family housing rather
than the proposed one-bedroom units.
The following information was provided for the April 4, 2023 Council briefing. It is
included again for background purposes.
The Council will be briefed about a proposal to amend the zoning map for parcels at 792 West 900 South
and 875 South 800 West in City Council District Two from their current M-1 (Light Manufacturing) zoning
designation to R-MU (Residential/Mixed-Use). The petitioner’s stated objective is to construct a fourplex
on each of the two vacant parcels. This use is not permitted under current zoning.
Item Schedule:
Briefing: April 4, 2023
Set Date: April 4, 2023
Public Hearing: April 18, 2023
Potential Action: May 2, 2023
Page | 2
The parcels are located on the southwest corner of 800 West and 900 South. Area zoning is a mix of M-1,
R-MU/R-MU-35 (Residential/Mixed-Use), and R-1/5,000 (Single-family Residential) as shown in the
zoning map below. Council Members may recall approving a similar zoning change from M-1 to R-MU-35
to a nearby parcel at 805 South 800 West in summer 2022.
Most parcels on the east half of the block were rezoned to R-MU a few years ago. The exception is a parcel
on the northeast corner of Genesee Avenue and 700 West where the Summum religious organization is
located. That parcel is zoned M-1.
Although zoned M-1, most parcels on the east side of 800 West between 800 South and 900 South are
single-family residences. Parcels on the west side of 800 West in this area are primarily single-family
residences in keeping with their R-1/5,000 zoning.
Planning staff discussed the requested zoning designation with the petitioner and encouraged him to
consider other zoning districts such as R-MU-35 with what Planning believed have development
regulations more compatible with Westside Master Plan policies, and with existing development on
surrounding parcels. The petitioner chose to pursue the rezone to R-MU.
The Planning Commission staff report says the proposed zoning map amendment does not meet three of
the four applicable zoning amendment standards (shown in the table later in this report), and Planning
staff recommended the Planning Commission forward a negative recommendation to the City Council.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed zoning map amendment at its February 8, 2023 meeting.
Commissioners asked the petitioner why he is not considering R-MU-35 zoning. He said additional
setbacks, and parking requirements would make development on these small parcels difficult. The
petitioner stated he plans to provide off-street parking, but the lot sizes will not allow one space per
dwelling unit required in R-MU-35 zoning. (It is worth noting the City right-of-way extends approximately
12 feet from the sidewalk on the subject parcels. While there is no required front, side yard, or corner side
yard setback for multi-family residential uses in the R-MU zoning district, these rights-of-way would
effectively function as setbacks if the zoning map amendment is approved by the Council.)
The petitioner also stated he voluntarily placed a deed restriction on the parcels limiting building height to
35 feet to minimize impact to nearby single-family homes. Buildings up to 60 feet high are allowed by right
in the existing M-1 zoning district and up to 75 feet for residential uses (45 feet for non-residential) within
the proposed R-MU zoning. It was mentioned that a deed restriction placed by the property owner could
also be removed by him, which would provide little guarantee building heights would be limited to 35 feet.
There was a discussion about potentially working with the petitioner on a development agreement to limit
building height to 35 feet. The Council could discuss this with the petitioner.
The Commission held a public hearing at which no one spoke and voted 6-5 to forward a positive
recommendation to the Council. Those who voted in support of the recommendation cited the need for
housing, recent rezoning to R-MU of large parcels to the east, and the area master plan is several years old.
Commissioners voting against the recommendation expressed concerns with the proposal not meeting
three of the four standards for zoning changes, and a hesitance voting to recommend a zoning change
without a proposed development and/or plans to consider.

Goal of the briefing: Review the proposed zoning map amendments, determine if the Council supports
moving forward with the proposal.
POLICY QUESTIONS
1. The Council may wish to ask the petitioner if the proposed dwelling units would be for sale or for
rent.
2. The Council may wish to ask the petitioner if he is willing to enter into a development agreement
with the City limiting building height to 35 feet.
3. The Council may wish to discuss with the Attorney’s office if a stronger tool than a development
agreement, such as a restrictive covenant that runs with the land, would provide greater confidence
that future developments would not exceed 35 feet.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Given the subject parcel sizes, it is unlikely a building could be constructed to heights approaching what is
allowed under the current M-1 zoning (up to 65 feet), or the proposed R-MU zoning (up to 75 feet for
residential use) unless the parcels are combined with adjacent parcels.
Under the proposed R-MU zoning designation, minimum lot width is 50 feet for multi-family buildings.
The parcels are approximately 29 feet wide. If the request is approved by the Council, the petitioner would
need to have planned development approval from the Planning Commission to construct multi-family
buildings.
The Council is only being asked to consider rezoning the property. No formal site plan has been submitted
to the City nor is it within the scope of the Council’s authority to review the plans. Because zoning of a
property can outlast the life of a building, any rezoning application should be considered on the merits of
changing the zoning of that property, not simply based on a potential project.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Planning staff identified two key considerations related to the proposal which are found on pages 4-7 of the
Planning Commission staff report and summarized below. For the complete analysis, please see the staff
report.
Consideration 1-Westside Master Plan Guidance
The subject parcels are in the area covered by the Westside Master Plan, adopted in 2014. Planning staff
stated:
While the Westside Master Plan supports unique and compatible ways to add incremental density
through infill development, it states that infill development should adhere to the prevailing
development pattern in the immediate area – which in this particular area is predominantly single
family residential. New development should not change the character of the neighborhood, rather,
it should be a complement to the areas of opportunity identified in the Westside Master Plan.
The Planning Commission staff report acknowledges current M-1 zoning allows heights and uses are
incompatible with surrounding development and what the master plan calls for. The master plan identifies
the subject vacant parcels as appropriate for medium-density rather than high-density housing. The
Planning Commission staff report indicated R-MU zoning would allow development incompatible with the
specific area.
Information from other City plans reviewed for this petition is included in Attachment D (pages 30-32) of
the Planning Commission staff report.
Consideration 2-Compatibility with Adjacent Properties
Development along 800 West is primarily single-family residential, with some R-MU-35 on the west side of
the street to the north.
As noted above, the Planning Commission staff report states existing M-1 zoning is not compatible with
surrounding properties, nor is the proposed R-MU zoning designation. The report calls for a zoning district
that provides “…attractive, compatible, and moderate density, mixed-use development with an emphasis
on pedestrian scale activity while maintaining compatibility with the existing development pattern of the
area.”
ZONING COMPARISON
M-1 (Existing)R-MU (Proposed)
Maximum Building Height 65 feet 75 feet for residential uses
45 feet for non-residential uses
Front Setback 15 feet None required
Side Setback Corner side yard: 15 feet
Interior side yard: none required
Corner side yard: None required
Interior: None required
Rear Setback None required 25% of lot depth but need not exceed
30 feet.
Lot Size Minimum lot area: 10,000 square feet
Minimum lot width: 80 feet
(Lots legally existing as of April 12,
1995 are considered legal conforming
lots.)
No minimum required for multi-
family residential.
Minimum lot width: 50 feet
(Would need planned development for
multi-family residential.)

Analysis of Factors
Attachment E (pages 33-34) of the Planning Commission staff report outlines zoning map amendment
standards that should be considered as the Council reviews this proposal. The standards and findings are
summarized below. In brief, Planning staff felt the proposed R-MU zoning is potentially higher density, and a
more intense land use than is appropriate for the area. Please see the Planning Commission staff report for
additional information.
Factor Finding
Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent
with the purposes, goals, objectives, and policies of
the city as stated through its various adopted
planning documents.
Does not comply
Whether a proposed map amendment furthers the
specific purpose statements of the zoning ordinance.
Does not comply
The extent to which a proposed map amendment will
affect adjacent properties
Does not comply
Whether a proposed map amendment is consistent
with the purposes and provisions of any applicable
overlay zoning districts which may impose additional
standards.
Not applicable
The adequacy of public facilities and services
intended to serve the subject property, including, but
not limited to, roadways, parks and recreational
facilities, police and fire protection, schools,
stormwater drainage systems, water supplies, and
wastewater and refuse collection.
Complies
City Department Review
During City review of the petitions, no responding departments or divisions expressed concerns with the
proposal, but stated additional review and permits would be required if the property is developed.

SUBJECT: Petition PLNPCM2022-00587
Zoning Map Amendment at 792 W 900 S & 875 S 800 W
STAFF CONTACT: Katilynn Harris, Principal Planner
katilynn.harris@slcgov.com or (801) 535-6179
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council follow the recommendation of the Planning
Commission to approve the proposed Zoning Map amendment.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: This is a request by Cameron Broadbent, the property owner,
to amend the Salt Lake City Zoning Map from M-1 Light Manufacturing to R-MU Residential
Mixed-Use at 792 W 900 S & 875 S 800 W. The proposed zoning map amendment is intended to
allow the property owner to develop two small multi-family dwellings. The applicant has indicated
one of the reasons for proposing the R-MU zone is because of the flexibility the zone provides
related to setback and parking requirements – there is no front, corner, or interior side yard setback
and there is no off-street parking requirements for multi-family in the R-MU zone. No
development plans have been submitted at this time. If the amendment is approved, the applicant
could develop the site with any permitted or conditional use in accordance with the R-MU zoning
standards. The request did not require a master plan amendment.

The Westside Master Plan is the applicable community plan for this property. The property is
located in the 700 West industrial corridor which is a swath of development consisting of mostly
industrial uses abutting single-family homes between 800 South and approximately 1400 South.
At its widest, the corridor is about a quarter-mile wide and extends as far west as 800 West.
The Planning Commission reviewed the request at a public hearing on February 8, 2023. The
commission determined that the request improves density with minimal neighbor complaint, meets
Salt Lake City’s goals of a variety of housing types, and improves air quality. The commission
voted (6-5) to forward a positive recommendation on to the City Council to amend the zoning map
as requested.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
• September 21, 2022 – Early notification was sent to the Poplar Grove and Glendale
Community Councils. Poplar Grove Community Council sent a letter of support dated
December 12, 2022 which is attached to the Planning Commission Staff Report.
• September 21, 2022 – Early notification was sent to all residents and property owners
within 300 FT of the subject properties. Staff received two emails in support of the
rezone.
• September 2022 – January 2023 – An online open house was held for the proposal
• February 8, 2023 – Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding the proposed
zoning map amendment. The Planning Commission voted to forward a positive
recommendation to amend the zoning map for the subject properties from M-1 to R-MU
to the City Council for their review and decision.

1. Project Description
This proposal to amend the zoning map is initiated by the property owner and involves two vacant parcels on the corner
of 900 South and 800 West which total 0.10 acres. The property is intended to be used for small multi-family housing,
duplex, triplex or fourplex, often referred to as the “missing middle” in Salt Lake City planning documents. Several Salt
Lake City planning documents have outlined a change in Salt Lake City public policy for this area due to various reasons.
These include the ever increasing housing crisis in the city and the associated need for diverse housing options,
beatification and utilization of the 9 Line corridor, the need for safe and efficient housing, flexible zoning tools and
regulations to meet today’s conditions, and the need for effective, high quality, in-fill development. The majority,
approximately 80%, of the 700-800 West block face for 900 South is unoccupied land. With over 50% of the block face’s
zoning being changed in 2020 from M-1 to R-MU, the change in public policy for the block face is clear. This zoning map
amendment completes the zoning change for the block face’s ONLY remaining vacant parcel.
This zoning amendment is supported by the following Salt Lake City planning documents:
Growing SLC: A Five Year Housing Plan 2018-2022
9 Line Corridor Master Plan, Adopted March 3, 2015
The Westside Master Plan, Adopted December 3, 2014
Salt Lake City Transit Master Plan | 2017 Executive Summary
Salt Lake City Pedestrian & Bicycle Master Plan, December 2015
Salt Lake City Westside Transportation Equity Study, 2021
Plan Salt Lake – Salt Lake City | Citywide Vision, Adopted December 1, 2015
1.a Purpose Of The Amendment
The purpose of this Zoning Amendment is to continue the work by the owner to beautify 800 West over a three block
stretch, 800 South to Fayette Avenue, where the owner has built two new homes in the last three years. The owner
desires to provide a custom-designed, custom-built residence appropriately-sized and beautifully landscaped which will
offer direct access to recreation, public transit and non-car transportation on an east-west corridor in which the
Westside Master Plan considers “in need of the most attention” (p.71 of the Westside Master Plan). The owner has a
track record of developing custom, energy-efficient homes built to match the size and period of the surrounding
neighborhood which fit in with the community (804 West Genesee and 802 West Fayette). Salt Lake City inspectors and
neighbors who’ve viewed the owner’s previous work in its entirety can both attest to the owner’s commitment to
personally building to the highest standard possible and being onsite during the build process to ensure quality building
which enhances the community. Additionally, over the last three years, the owner has planted over 150 trees, shrubs,
bushes, grasses and flowers along 800 West via approved landscape plans submitted to the city.
1.b Description Of The Proposed Use Of The Property Being Rezoned
“The purpose of the R-MU Residential/Mixed Use District is to reinforce the mixed use character of the area and
encourage the development of areas as high density residential urban neighborhoods containing retail, service
commercial, and small scale office uses. This district is appropriate in areas of the City where the applicable master plans
support high density, mixed use development. The standards for the district are intended to facilitate the creation of a
walkable urban neighborhood with an emphasis on pedestrian scale activity while acknowledging the need for transit
and automobile access” (SLC Zoning Code).
With the 9 Line corridor helping to create a “walkable urban neighborhood,” developing these lots with the intent of
restoring the “missing middle” living option adds to the mixed use character of the area. While a “hotel” is a permitted
use in the M-1 zone for legal lots like this one, the owner believes building a small, multi-family unit brings longer-term
residents that better weave into the fabric of the existing community. The owner agrees with the SLC Planning
Commission’s 2020 allowance for one owner to change most of the block face and all the other vacant parcels to R-MU
zoning. The owner believes this zoning is more in harmony with SLC’s guiding master plans previously mentioned and
shown in “City Goals” section 1.c below.
1.c Reasons Why The Present Zoning May Not Be Appropriate For The Area
Reasons are included in the headings: City Goals, Transportation and Equality
City Goals
With 160 people per day moving to Utah, their presence has become noticeable on our public roads (KSLTV.com,
12/28/2021). If we can create homes for people in places where walkable neighborhood infrastructure and public
transit is already in place, we’re helping achieve the goals of several SLC master plans. These goals help our community
ease car traffic, improve air quality and encourage healthy living. It’s interesting to note that the 9 Line corridor plan,
which creates a walkable neighborhood connecting the east and west side of downtown SLC, is so important that it’s
one of the very few streets to ever have its own SLC master plan.
Salt Lake City has historically built effective public/private partnerships which began with the city making large
infrastructure changes followed by zoning changes to accomplish additional reinvestment in the community. TRAX may
be a good example of this. The TRAX installation was followed by zoning changes which introduced development along
its corridor thru the city. The city’s massive undertaking along the 900 South corridor seems similar to TRAX and offers
pedestrian-friendly transportation. With the block face of 900 South between 700-800 West being 80% unoccupied
space, it offers the perfect place to make zoning changes which bring additional investment to our community. This
change is already underway. Many vacant land owners over several blocks to the east have already changed zoning
along the 9 Line corridor.
Many city planning documents support this change. Some excerpts below (shown in different fonts, text, etc.) are
directly from these documents and are shared in this section “City Goals” for the benefit of those wishing to be more
familiar with relevant SLC planning documents.
Plan Salt Lake – Salt Lake City | Citywide Vision, Adopted December 1, 2015. Sections below are from pages 9-10:
“Guiding Principles” from Plan Salt Lake comes from p. 14:
Plan Salt Lake “Housing Initiatives” below are taken from p.39.
2. The “missing middle” option, duplex, triplex and fourplex, offers us a way to
increase the number of medium density housing options without adversely
affecting the residential community.
3. The “missing middle” proposed for the corner of 900 South 800 West would
naturally offer ground level living in an approachable living arrangement.
4. Building on the 9 Line corridor offers residents a recreational hub in “people-
oriented” housing.
5. This rezone offers a moderate density increase appropriate for the existing
neighborhood.
7. Public transit and pedestrian-friendly transit are both available to this lot.
“Plans Salt Lake” suggests this is the type of residential area appropriate for
high density.
Growing SLC: A Five Year Housing Plan 2018-2022 p.11 & 50.
Interesting to point out that Growing SLC’s findings
suggested 52% of commuters would consider living in
Salt Lake City if housing were more affordable.
Growing SLC: A Five Year Housing Plan 2018-2022
Composition of SLC residents are shown below (p.14 & 50)
Growing SLC: A Five Year Housing Plan 2018-2022 p. 16 below offers additional “Guiding Principles” appropriating funds.
While no public funds are being sought for this
development, it seems relevant to call out:
Point#8 encourages us to call for a spectrum of
housing options for people of all backgrounds and
incomes.
Point#16 calls out what some city documents refer
to as the “missing middle.” It also encourages
diversifying housing stock to include this option
which is often not developed. This is due to rising
development costs bringing about developer’s
focus on multi-story apartment buildings.
Point#17 encourages us to include affordable
housing options where possible near transit-
oriented development areas. It also encourages
moderate increases in density along transit
corridors.
Growing SLC: A Five Year Housing Plan 2018-2022 p. 17 & 18 below emphasizes what it believes our #1 goal is together:
Growing SLC: A Five Year Housing Plan 2018-2022 p. 19 below mentions the “missing middle” and encourages us to all
help with “finding a place for these types [of housing] throughout the city” as they help with “restoring choices for a
wider variety of household sizes.”
P.10 of the Westside Master Plan shows how the “missing middle” zoning (duplex zoning) represents just 2% of total
zoning (2014).
P.10 of the Westside Master Plan suggests the Westside would benefit from better integrating multifamily into the rest
of the community rather than repeating the past and concentrating it so heavily (50%+) in just six developments.
P. 33 of the Westside Master Plan mentions, “There are also several vacant or underutilized parcels that can be
developed as infill parcels, and, depending on their size, can be seen as opportunities for multi-family projects.”
“Multi-family residential infill will require some zoning ordinance modification” (p.33).
P. 34 of the Westside Master Plan also suggests that “infill development adhere to the prevailing development pattern
in the immediate area.” More than 50% of the block face of 900 South was recently rezoned to a Residential Mixed Use
(R-MU); this is clearly an undeniable pattern. The proposed zoning change is in line with that pattern of development on
the existing block face. Furthermore, the Westside Master Plan encouraged the Salt Lake Planning Division to “Explore
regulatory options for allowing two- or multi-family development” where appropriate. It also mentioned that it would
be helpful to “add even a small amount of additional density without impacting the prevailing single-family character of
the Westside and potentially introduce unique housing types and designs to the community or the city” (p.34). This
rezone allowing for development of the “Missing Middle” helps achieve the recommendation to the Salt Lake Planning
Division by adding just a small amount of additional density that’s in harmony with the character of the existing
community.
P.69-71 of the Westside Master Plan speaks specifically of the 700 West corridor (Gateways & Industrial Districts):
The “Moving Forward” section to the left comes from
p.73 of the Westside Master Plan.
The Planning Division has made the 9 Line corridor a
priority and work is now underway.
ALL infill vacant land (owned by one party) on the block
face of 900 South 700-800 West has been changed to R-
MU, and the owner of the last remaining vacant parcel
on the block face has requested it now be change to R-
MU.
800 West’s 90’ width makes it a natural buffer between
mixed use and residential zoning. Master Plan
recommendations include flexible zoning in this area
allowing 50 or more dwelling units per acre.
Even on a national level, the Federal government sees
this area and this lot’s entire north side block face (not
the south) specifically as a “distressed area.”
The United States Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) has placed this block face in what it
terms the “Opportunity Zone” where it invites owners
to aid in developing this area for the benefit of the
community (https://opportunityzones.hud.gov/resources/map).
Transportation
The current M-1 zoning does not allow for a small, multi-family home despite immediate access to public transit and
recreation. With 160 new residents per day arriving, it’s clear why the Utah State House Speaker mentioned
transportation being the first issue when he commented on the influx of residents. He said, “State leaders are very
aware of problems associated with a booming population…growth doesn’t have to be the enemy but that Utah needs to
be thoughtful with long-term planning for transportation, housing and recreation” (KSLTV.com, 12/28/2021).
The Salt Lake City Pedestrian & Bicycle Master Plan suggested that after gathering public import, one of the key themes
regarding transportation was a need for better options and “support for conventional and low stress bikeways that are
designed well, especially to minimize intersection conflicts” (P. ES-2).
The Salt Lake City Transit Master Plan 2017 Executive Summary suggested that “through public outreach efforts for the
Transit Master Plan and past SLC planning efforts” transit officials learned that “forty-three percent (43%) of participants
in the Design Your Transit System Tool indentified improved access to transit on foot and by bike as a priority” (p.107).
Additionally, some age groups that are likely to rent their home (18-36 year old Millennials) are more active, taking 23%
fewer driving trips, 16% more walking trips and 24% more biking trips than other households (p.7).
“Public transit is also the primary mode of travel for many of the approximately 1 in 10 Salt Lake City residen ts that have
a disability” (p.7). A ground-level home is more accommodating to some disabilities and will naturally be a part of a
small, multi-family home.
On a health note, obesity rates in Salt Lake County are at approximately 27%. Housing near transit and recreational
opportunities increase physical activity and improve health (p.7). A home with direct access to the 9 Line corridor offers
this opportunity.
The 9 Line Corridor Master Plan mentioned its intent is to function as “An urban thoroughfare and public open space,
helping people make connections, reduce barriers, promote healthy lifestyles.” Another part of its purpose is to help “a
diverse assemblage of people and user groups, [provide]the opportunity for enhancing their connections to the
surrounding businesses and neighborhoods that form a unique and attractive community” (p. 9). The rezoning of this
underutilized land helps us achieve this vision of bringing a “Diverse assemblage of people” together to use the 9 Line
space to connect people to recreation, public transit and the surrounding businesses.
Equality
Equality is a characteristic woven into Salt Lake City’s guiding master plans.
The 9 Line Corridor Master Plan (2015) makes mention of reducing barriers and improving physical and cultural
connections between the east and west sides of the City that in turn offer regional connections (p. 9). This zoning
change helps people connect and reduces the barriers of east-west divide.
Growing SLC: A Five Year Housing Plan 2018-2022 mentions the growing disparity between wages and rental rates
appears to be creating greater instability in the lives of low-income households (p.10). “The housing crisis also impacts
middle-income households” (p.11). Higher income households appear to enjoy more housing stability. This zoning
change helps provide lower rents and more stability to both low- and middle-income households with more diverse,
quality housing stock in a middle price range. Exacerbating the housing crisis are local barriers to housing development
(p.11)… The systemic affordable housing crisis has implications for every Salt Lake City resident and business.” Allowing
this zoning change will allow for a well-designed, small home for someone wishing to find a nice place to live that’s more
affordable than what average rents in SLC are currently (RentCafe.com, Zumper.com).
The Transportation Equity For Salt Lake City’s Westside Study, 2021 shines a light on “Equitable Access” for west and
east side Salt Lake City neighborhoods. One example of a benefit many eastside residents enjoy is the variety of several
small, multi-family housing options around a major park such as Liberty Park. Additionally, you can bike or walk directly
to the park from these small, multi-family options. The same opportunity around the west side’s International Peace
Gardens is limited. This zoning change brings “Equitable Access” to a housing option that is in limited supply around the
park today and makes it accessible via the 9 Line corridor.
Impact
Why R-MU?
Block face zoning is consistent. Consistency seems important since spot zoning is illegal. It seems the original
intent when zoning half the block R-MU was to convert this block (along 900 South) to R-MU. Would it not
otherwise be considered spot zoning since there is no other R-MU zoning near this location?
90’ physical road break. With a 90’ wide break between the east and west side of 800 West, including a 45’ city
owned park-like median, it doesn’t seem we could find a better place to make a zoning break consistent with the
change of the block face zoning started in 2020.
10’ extra. R-MU appears to add just 10’ to the current M-1 zoning maximum height of 65’.
Practicality naturally limits height. Some may argue that the 75’ height allowance in R-MU is too much for this
lot. The reality is that these are two 0.05 acre lots and there is no physical way a 75’ building could reasonably
be constructed and allow any type of reasonable parking. Additionally, anything over 30’ requires the power
lines to be buried at a cost estimated to be $2.5Mil per an email quote from Scott.Burton@pacificorp.com
(Mar/11, 3:45pm). Could some homes be torn down around the lot and developed into something larger? Yes.
However, that misses the intent of building the “Missing Middle” on these lots, but it could be possible. If that
large of an investment was made by an entity along a pedestrian-centric road with its own master plan
dedicated to bringing people to use it, we’d be fortunate to welcome it as 900 South is one of the few entrances
to the west side and its further development would be welcomed over the industrial neglect prevalent today.
Missing Middle - This size of lot is ideal for developing the “Missing Middle.”
12’ on the south. The property line on the south of these lots is nearly 12’ back from the sidewalk. SLC Fire
requirements incentivizes owners to set a home back at least an additional 5+ feet creating almost a 17’ setback;
this is the planned setback from which the owner intends to begin designing.
9’ on the west. The property line on the west is nearly 9’ back from the sidewalk. While SLC is currently
evaluating reducing parking requirements, such requirements have not yet been changed. Therefore, in order to
accommodate adequate packing given current requirements of the proposed R-MU zone, the owner intents to
pull the building forward to be set approximately 9’ back from the sidewalk to meet the rear parking
requirements. May we keep in mind that “Form” zoning approved just east a few blocks requires zero off-street
parking (i.e., FB-UN2 zone for 278 West 900 South)?
Why is this different than the recent rezone of 805 South 800 West to R-MU-35?
SLC made their intentions clear regarding the direction it wanted for 800 South years before the proposed
zoning change for 805 S. 800 W. came along recently. Not all individual citizens/home owners sought to
change the zoning of their homes to R-MU-35 along 800 South (800-900 West); that change was done by SLC
or a small group getting it approved by SLC. It sent a clear message to myself as an existing owner of
multiple properties along 800 West (including 804 W Genesee, separated from that zoning change by a 15’
alley) and the rest of the community since the mandate was approved by SLC offices. The clear directive
was that this would be more density, limited to 35’ in height (via R-MU-35 zoning with its required parking
of one car per unit).
I was the only local citizen in the room when SLC Planning Commission was reviewing the zoning change
request for 805 W. 800 S. The Planning Commission indirectly invited the owner to change his proposed
zoning request from R-MU-45 to R-MU-35. Those actions were consistent and appropriate since SLC had
already made its intentions clear for the area (the expanded block face of I-15 to 900 W) by initiating a
zoning change to R-MU-35 years ago. That owner was simply being asked to adjust his request to meet the
established pattern previously set. In that meeting, he graciously complied with the informal request before
leaving the room.
Similarly, SLC has approved a welcome change to R-MU zoning for 50% of the block face (700-800 W) along a
future pedestrian, non-car corridor with its own master plan (the 9 Line Corridor Master Plan). Like the
directional change on 800 South, the change on 900 South was set in motion years ago. The actions were
clear. The message sent to local citizens was clear. The pattern of development along the respective roads
was different, but made clear in the same fashion. As a resident, I read the actions and directions of SLC as a
clear change to the area and purchased two lots along the same block face that was zoned R-MU. I’ve made
a decision to invest and beautify this area years ago in a way that goes beyond what is “Required” (details
below). I seek R-MU zoning, not R-MU-35 or 45 in its current form.
What’s the impact to surrounding single-family homes and where has this been done in SLC already?
Along non-car, transit lines (i.e., the pedestrian walkway of 900 South or TRAX line on 200 South), R-MU is a
sound zoning choice because it requires at least some parking; this is in comparison to the zero parking
requirement of selectively used Form zoning. R-MU is a natural choice over other zoning options when existing
lot lines are set back a reasonable distance from the public sidewalk. That’s the case with the corner of 900
South 800 West.
There is an example worth noting that is nearby this proposed zoning amendment, namely 900 South 200 West.
Form zoning (FB-UN2) turns to R-MU zoning as you move from 900 South 200 West further south and pass a
major freeway exit (the 900 South I-15 exit), shown below. Immediately after a major I-15 road, R-MU zoning is
the first zoning used (1015 South 200 West) on a corner lot with multi-family units. On the other end of the
block face is the same R-MU zoning (1075 South 200 West). In-between the two R-MU lots are four one-story,
single-family homes which have been zoned RMF-35. In principle & use, this is almost an exact match to what is
being proposed with this zoning amendment for the corner of 900 South 800 West.
It’s worth noting that at 1075 South 200 West, only 45’ separate a R-MU lot from additional one-story, single-
family homes to the south. That’s half the distance of the existing 90’ between this proposed R-MU zoned
corner lot of 900 South 800 West and the one-story, single-family homes to the west on 900 South.
Additionally, this planned building on the corner of 900 South 800 West is a two-story building, making it fit in
more seamlessly with the 900 South neighborhood.
The proposed zoning amendment would create a version of the example above; however, the 900 South 800
West lot’s building would be more appropriately sized to blend in with the existing single-family homes.
The recommended zoning for 900 South 800 West would layout similarly to other nearby non-car, pedestrian
corridors (example above).

Additional Impact
All vacant land on the 900 South (700-800 West) block face is owned by two parties. One party rezoned all their vacant
land to R-MU in 2020. The other party wishes to now do the same. What wasn’t changed to R-MU is still M-1 which was
setup years ago before most manufacturing moved west.
While there are several uses for a vacant lot in the current M-1 zone that may be potentially profitable, these don’t
seem appropriate for the space. These include: a recycling collection station, a gas station, a cannabis production
establishment, tire distribution center, sign painting & fabrication, 24-hour taxicab service or a dead animal cremation
service center.
With 50%+ of the 900 South block face (700-800 West) being rezoned to R-MU, the city’s intent to bring more mixed
residential use along the 9 Line corridor is clear and consistent with the city’s long-term planning documents. While the
M-1 zone allows for a hotel/motel to be built, the zoning needs to be changed for a more appropriate small, multi-family
home to be allowed.
It may be helpful for some to compare M-1 and R-MU zoning setbacks. As I understand them, they are as follows:
M-1 has no setback requirements for the interior side yard or the rear yard.
R-MU has no setback requirements for the interior side yard or the front/corner side yard.
M-1 has a 15’ front & corner side yard setback
M-1 has no open space requirement for a lot nor does it require any rear yards.
R-MU requires 20%+ open space and a rear yard that is 25% of lot depth, but not exceeding 30’.
In the end, changing 900 South 800 West’s vacant land zoning to match all other vacant land zoning on the block face is
appropriate. Additionally, R-MU zoning incorporates a 20% open space requirement (currently zero open space is
required in the M-1 zone) and is the best zoning for helping incorporate off-street parking into the future design. Such
zoning seems appropriate since it also requires more parking than the Form zone approved a couple blocks east which
requires zero off street parking.
R-MU zoning for the last vacant lot on the block face is an infill decision supported by seven SLC long-term planning
documents and is in harmony with SLC’s vision of sound planning.

The Owner’s Proven Commitment To The Community
The owner of the property believes in the restoration and enhancement of this community along 800 West.
Beginning in 2017 (SLC Case#PLNZAD2017-00393), the owner started with a vacant, neglected lot (830 South 800 West).
The owner and his wife designed a custom home with a goal of building a home to add a pocket of sunshine to the area.
The home’s front door & much of the landscape is designed to be the color of sunshine with the goal of literally adding
more sunshine to the neighborhood. Additionally, they sought to bring vintage features into a home that was designed
to feel like a restored 1920’s home. This included a wood-based exterior over 100% of the home, vintage exterior
lighting as well as wood floors and tile that were consistent with buildings from the early 1900’s. Lastly, it was
landscaped to beautify the neighborhood and was referred to by one neighbor as the street’s “Garden of Eden.”
Despite some individuals experiencing homelessness unplugging the water system to charge their cell phones, it still
looks presentable and will be worked on again in 2022. Between this home and a second home (similarly built on a
vacant, neglected lot at 802 West Fayette Avenue), nearly 150 trees, shrubs, bushes, grasses and flowers were installed
by the hands of the owner.
Besides building homes complimenting the character of the neighborhood, the owner has helped and supported other
owners along 800 West prepare to improve their land. He began years ago supporting one owner of a vacant parcel at
1050 South 800 West purchase the dilapidated home (808 W. Dalton) that had become a safety issue next door. He
supported the owner who then completed a lot line adjustment and he helped sell the lots to individuals who completed
the teardown and are beginning the development of 808 W. Dalton. The owner noticed the neglected lots of 800 South
800 West, but when he called to begin the process to clean up that lot (805 South 800 West), it was already in-process
to be cleaned up and developed.
The lots on the corner of 900 South and 800 West were the last of the neglected lots on 800 West to be cleaned up.
The owner and his family have begun cleaning them of trash and weeding them. Rezoning these lots is the first step
towards designing a custom home that is suited to the lot, neighborhood and community.
The owner has previously worked as a Research Scientist designing product, packaging, and shelf space layouts prior to
taking an interest in designing custom living spaces and landscapes to enhance the quality of life. For this corner,
designs are being reviewed that originate in northern Europe, Hong Kong, New York and the Salt Lake Valley with the
hope of bringing design elements that compliment the neighborhood and restore beauty to a vacant, neglected corner
lot. The owner is studying the use of efficient building materials and practices that would enhance life for residents and
the community. Upon rezoning, the owner will engage the professional services of additional designers, architects,
engineers and builders.
The owner believes he can add to our community by providing a quality home in which to live. He’s currently renting to
or has rented to a diverse set of people living and working right in our community including retired veterans, a member
of Ballet West, a volunteer of public radio, nurses, janitors, an airline analyst, self-employed service contractors, house
cleaners, and partially-disabled individuals.
This zoning change allows for something to be built that will include ground-level units that may also afford some the
rare chance to age in place near family. Additionally, this rezoning will offer a housing option that is disappearing since
many multi-story apartment buildings are now including either parking on the first floor or commercial retail space.
Thank you for time and for the opportunity to work together to bring something good to our community.
Sincerely,
Cameron Broadbent

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose & Policy
The Salt Lake City Department of Airports (SLCDA or Sponsor) will make available the
opportunity to engage in commercial and general aviation aeronautical activities at Salt Lake
City International Airport (Airport), by persons and entities (Operator(s)) that meet reasonable
minimum standards (Minimum Standards).
The purpose of imposing these Minimum Standards is to:
a. ensure safe, efficient, and adequate levels of services are offered to the public,
b. protect airport users from unlicensed and unauthorized products and services,
c. maintain and enhance the availability of adequate services for all airport users,
d. promote the orderly development of Airport land,
e. ensure the economic health of all on-airport Operators, and
f. ensure efficient use of navigable airspace.
The Minimum Standards are based on the Airport’s status as a large hub primary commercial
service facility, circumstances and conditions at the Airport, and analysis of demand and
capacity. These Minimum Standards may be periodically updated and revised as activity or
demand for various services changes over time, in such a manner and to such extent as is deemed
appropriate by SLCDA. These Minimum Standards may be revised or amended at any time in
the discretion of SLCDA.
SLCDA will apply these Minimum Standards objectively and uniformly to all similarly situated
on-airport aeronautical service Operators. In accordance with these objectives, SLCDA will
approve or deny the opportunity for an Operator, as defined herein, to conduct aeronautical
activities at SLCIA based on these standards. These Minimum Standards are not intended to be
comprehensive; Operators must also comply with all applicable federal, state, local law, and
SLCDA Rules and Regulations.
By adopting these Minimum Standards, SLCDA does not imply a right to provide services to any
operator or provider. It is the policy of SLCDA to extend the opportunity for providing an
aeronautical service to any entity meeting SLCDA’s Minimum Standards for that service, subject
to availability of suitable space at the Airport to conduct such activities. The SLCDA Airport
Layout Plan, as approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), provides the primary
basis for determining whether suitable space is available for proposed aeronautical activities.
SLCDA reserves the right to solicit requests for proposals and to make determinations and
choices of suitable Operators based on solicited proposals, to fill any on-airport aeronautical
service opportunity.

1.2 General Information
Determinations of what constitutes an acceptable “minimum” and compliance with the Minimum
Standards shall be made by SLCDA in its sole discretion. No entity or Operator will be allowed
to occupy land and/or improvements or engage in aeronautical activities at the Airport under
conditions less than the “minimum,” unless waived in writing by the Executive Director, if
determined to be in the best interest of the welfare of Airport operations, in the Executive
Director’s sole discretion. These Minimum Standards shall not prohibit any person from
performing maintenance and fueling with respect to their Operator-owned or controlled aircraft
with their own employees, except for restrictions set forth by any lease or other contractual
agreement.
Activities may exist which are too varied to reasonably permit the establishment of specific
minimum standards for each activity. If an aeronautical activity is not addressed in these
Minimum Standards, appropriate requirements may be developed on a case-by-case basis and
incorporated into any agreement or permit relating to the occupancy/use of Airport land and/or
improvements, taking into consideration the needs of the Operator, the existing land-use plans
and operational plans of SLCDA, and the public interest in, or demand for, the activity.
Upon SLCDA’s adoption of these Minimum Standards, any reference in any agreement to prior
standards shall be deemed to be a reference to these Minimum Standards. Any existing Operator
that is not currently in compliance with these standards at the time of their adoption shall be
given a reasonable time, as determined by SLCDA, to comply with these Minimum Standards.
Notwithstanding the adoption of these Minimum Standards, nothing herein shall be construed as
a modification of any existing agreements wherein an Operator has agreed to exceed any of these
Minimum Standards nor is SLCDA prohibited from entering into agreements wherein an
Operator is required to exceed these Minimum Standards.
SLCDA may prohibit any Operator from using the Airport or engaging in commercial
aeronautical activities at the Airport if SLCDA determines the Operator is not complying with
these Minimum Standards or has otherwise jeopardized the safety of other individuals or entities
utilizing the Airport or the land and/or improvements at the Airport. If the Executive Director
determines that any of these Minimum Standards have been violated by any individual or entity
operating on the Airport and that the matter cannot be resolved satisfactorily by notice to, and
discussion with, the offending entity, then SLCDA may take formal action against the offending
entity. Such action shall be at the sole discretion of SLCDA.
SLCDA reserves the right to waive all, or any portion of, these Minimum Standards set forth
herein for the benefit of any government or governmental agency performing non-profit and/or
public services to the aircraft industry, performing emergency medical or rescue services to the
public by means of aircraft, performing fire prevention or firefighting operations, or performing
law enforcement operations. SLCDA further reserves the right to waive all or any portion of
these Minimum Standards for non-government entities/Operators when the entity or Operator is
solely engaged in performing emergency medical or rescue services to the public by means of
aircraft, performing fire prevention or firefighting operations, or whenever Executive Director, in
3
their sole discretion, deems such waiver to be in the best interest or welfare of the Airport’s
operation.
The operation of the Airport is subject to the various requirements imposed by the Federal
Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, the regulations imposed by the Federal Aviation
Administration, and regulations imposed by other federal agencies. The foregoing requirements
and regulations shall take precedence and supersede these Minimum Standards should they
contradict or conflict with these Minimum Standards solely to the extent that they contradict or
conflict.
