5. Ordinance: Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Text Amendment
The Council will continue to accept public comment and consider adopting an
ordinance that would amend various sections of the Title 21A of the Salt Lake City
Code pertaining to Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) regulations. The proposed
code 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

Tom Lund, Lynn Pershing, Diane Whittaker, Stephen Whipple, Kimball
Young, Jim Webster, Paula Harline, Rosie Serago and Brian Burnette spoke
in support of retaining the owner occupancy requirement in the proposed ordinance.
Comments included: there was a need to preserve deep lots in the City, supporting
generational wealth in communities was important, the proposed assessment period was
not long enough, removing the requirement would make homeownership difficult –
placing them in competition with realtor groups/investment corporations, the
requirement was key to minimizing displacement, the requirement should apply to all
ADUs and only be built in residential zones, allowing investors to buy properties for ADU
use would not increase ownership opportunities, keeping the requirement would ensure

the care of the property, suggestion for advance notice to abutting properties when an
external ADU was proposed to be built, more owner occupancy was needed in the City,
owner occupancy did not necessarily protect neighbors or allow for providing notice
when an ADU was proposed, business were primarily interested in profits through short-
term rentals and not interested in maintaining the property/neighborhoods, short-term
rentals were historically difficult to enforce, without owner occupancy there was less
commitment to historic preservation and less neighborhood citizenship.
Landon Kraczek, Turner Bitton, and Koby Elias spoke in opposition of retaining
the owner occupancy requirement in the proposed ordinance. Comments included:
owner occupancy requirement created barriers to housing, data showed that few ADUs
were used for short-term rentals and a majority of ADUs were rented at
market/affordable rates, the requirement limited the pool of potential buyers of a home
with an ADU and would potentially force an eviction of a tenant, restricting the supply
was not a good way to address housing affordability.
Adam Vogel spoke in favor of the proposed ordinance, noting the importance of helping
to improve housing accessibility, prevention of the use of short-term rentals in ADUs,
and expressed appreciation for the addition of exceptions to the minimum parking
requirements within the ordinance.
Chaise Warr said the proposed 3- or 5-year assessment period was not long enough,
noted barriers to building ADUs, and the owner occupancy requirement should remain in
place to keep the potential growth of ADUs communities in check.
Margaret Holloway questioned how many people actually wanted ADUs, said the
owner occupancy requirement was better than allowing short-term rentals, and
suggested a permit process for a certain/limited amount of ADUs in the City, much like
liquor licenses issued by the State.
Kristina Robb, Chair of ELPCO, spoke regarding equity and advocating for safe
affordable housing for renters and noted support for retaining the owner occupancy
requirement for ADUs City-wide (specifically supporting East Liberty Park renters) as
long as it takes to collect local affordability data.
Cindy Cromer noted the upcoming continuing discussion on this topic with the
Planning Commission to be held March 22, 2023, spoke of the benefits of retaining the
owner occupancy requirement and being vigilant of every unit of housing that could
potentially be removed from the City’s current supply.
Eric Valchuis spoke in support of the revised ADU ordinance and indicated his support
for the collection of data for the owner occupancy requirement and revisiting the issue in
three years and recommended two areas of study: instances of renters being evicted due
to homeowners moving out of the primary residence and a survey of homeowners who
have not built ADUs and reasons for doing so.
Jim Burdette spoke regarding Motions 2 and 3, noting they would ease the difficulty of
a homeowner adding an ADU to an existing home, the existing ban on short-term rentals

could be the most significant damper to a takeover of landlord-type investors as well as
tougher enforcement could be the main deterrent to a business type owner spending huge
dollars on a backyard apartment.
Chris Magrell spoke of concerns in the Liberty Park neighborhood, noting the high
amount of single-family homes that were purchased by speculators only to be demolished
and replaced with seven-figure homes that were not owner-occupied and this did not
support affordable housing.
Robert Goodman spoke in favor of the proposed zoning requirements, height
restrictions and easements for ADUs, noting he would be building and ADU to assist
relatives shelter in place as they aged, and was supportive of retaining the owner
occupancy requirement.

property owners who replace lawn grass with more water-wise landscaping. These
landscape zoning amendments are limited to the program requirements for these
rebate programs. The transmittal to the Council states that additional landscape
changes are underway and being studied, but not included in this petition. The
current proposal includes placing limits on the amount of lawn grass that can be
planted based on use, size of landscaped area, and slope. It also makes other
changes. The proposal would amend the zoning text of Section 21A.48.050 and
definitions in Title 21A associated with the Salt Lake City Code pertaining to the
use of landscape materials. The Council may amend other related chapters and
sections of Title 21A Zoning as part of this proposal. Petition No.: PLNPCM2022-

the Council to adopt Motion 2 as it would be the first step in working towards a

the City should be addressing the important unresolved issues of the Northpointe Small

Rebecca Burrage, resident of Holladay, spoke in support of the Council adopting

Minutes:
Council Member Petro noted a City-led annexation would be a benefit, not only to be able
to comply/meet the needs of the County, but any development on this property would
disproportionally become a burden to Salt Lake City and the City’s ability to determine
what could happen on the property, was paramount to the generational success. Council
Member Petro thanked Denise Payne who consistently represented the unique needs of
the community in the area, and Council Member Dugan who was ensuring the westside
would environmentally benefit from the proposal.
Motion:
Moved by Councilmember Dugan, seconded by Councilmember Petro to
deny the petition without prejudice to the applicant’s right to refile an
annexation petition at any time in the future.
Further move, pursuant to Utah Code Section 10-2-418, the Council initiate a
legislative action requesting the City Administration start a City-led process
to annex the properties in unincorporated Salt Lake County, generally
located north of 2100 North and west of I-215. This will be formally
confirmed at an upcoming Council Meeting.
