PUBLIC HEARINGS
Salt Lake City Planning Commission March 23, 2022 Page 1
ADU Conditional Use at approximately 991 South 1000 East - Margy Maher of Brach Design,
representing the property owners, is requesting Conditional Use approval for a 22'4.5"-foot tall, 450-
square-foot detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) that will be located in the rear yard of the property
at the above-stated address. The subject property is approximately 0.12 acres (5,227 square feet) in
size and is in the R-1-5,000 Single Family Zoning District. The property is located within District 5,
represented by Darin Mano. (Staff contact: Diana Martinez at 801-535-7215 or
diana.martinez@slcgov.com) Case number PLNPCM2021-01285
Principal Planner Diana Martinez reviewed the petition as outlined in the staff report. She stated that a
new home and new garage with an ADU will be constructed in place of the existing structure. She stated
that the new garage will have an ADU on top of it. She stated that Staff recommends approval of the
application request.
Commissioner Scheer asked what would happen to the ADU if the existing home was not torn down and
wondered if a condition needed to be added that the main dwelling is rebuilt. Planner Diana Martinez
clarified that even if the existing home remained, the ADU would still meet the setback requirements, but
the height requirement would be an issue. She stated that she didn't know the height of the existing
structure but guessed it was 25 to 26 feet. Commissioner Scheer wondered if the Commission should
add a condition that the primary dwelling be rebuilt at a higher height.
Director Nick Norris stated that he would do some research and answer any questions after the public
hearing.
The Applicants Margy Maher and Dave Brock shared a presentation of the proposed project. Margy
Maher reviewed the proposal. Margy Maher stated that they aimed to keep the ADU as small as possible,
keeping it shorter than the new house that would be designed next to it.
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairperson Amy Barry opened the public hearing.
• Neil Ellis —He is concerned with the height of the project and wondered how the proposed 26ft
height is in unison with the rest of the neighborhood. He is also concerned who will be living in on
site in the main house and ADU.
Seeing that no one else wished to speak, Chairperson Amy Barry closed the public hearing.
Chairperson Barry reviewed the City's code, clarifying that the property owner is required to live on site
when an ADU is built. She also stated that the ordinance does not regulate who the who they may rent
to but clarified that it does restrict Airbnb type rentals.
Planning Director Nick Norris reviewed the height regulations stating that the principal structure in this
zone can be up to 28 feet with a pitched roof measured at its highest point, or 23 feet for a flat roof
structure. He clarified that an ADU is not allowed to be taller than the principal structure and if the
minimum setbacks are met the height of the ADU can be 17 feet with an increase in height of up to 23
feet with every increased foot of setbacks from the property line.
Salt Lake City Planning Commission March 23, 2022 Page 2
Commissioner Burrows clarified that when there is a restriction on an Airbnb type rental it means that the
ADU or principal structure cannot be rented for less than 30 days. She also clarified that the requirement
for the ADU or primary structure has to be occupied by the owner is part of the title and transfers with
ownership should the property sell. She then asked if the proposed garage would have the same setback
as the current garage. Planner Diana Martinez stated that it would be in about the same.
Chair Barry asked Director Nick Norris if he found an answer to Commissioner Scheer's earlier question
as to whether a condition should be imposed. Direct Nick Norris replied that a condition is probably
warranted because an approval for the proposed height of the ADU cannot be made based on the height
of the existing structure. He said that the Commission can, and probably should, add a condition that
says the building permit for the ADU as proposed cannot be issued unless it is issued with an associated
building permit to increase the height of the principal building.
MOTION
Commissioner Brenda Scheer Stated, Based on the information in the staff report,the information
presented, and the input received during the public hearing, I move that the Commission approve
the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) Conditional Use application PLNPCM2021-01285. With the
addition of the following condition.
1. That the ADU cannot be permitted without an associated permit for the primary dwelling
unit that is at least as tall or taller than the ADU proposed.
Commissioner Adrienne Bell seconded the motion. Commissioners Jon Lee, Maurine Bachman,
Adrienne Bell, Aimee Burrows, and Brenda Scheer voted "yes'. The motion passed unanimously.

Senior Planner Daniel Echeverria reviewed the petition as outlined in the Staff Report. He stated that
Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Subdivision request with the conditions listed in the staff
report and that they recommend sending a positive recommendation for the block size modification to
the Mayor.
Chairperson Barry asked about the Master Plan update for the subject property and whether the future
development would be subject to that. Staff clarified that the development would be subject to any zoning
changes brought about by the Master Plan redesign.
Commissioner Scheer asked where the traffic would be directed. Staff clarified that it would go up 2200
West.
Commissioner Burrows asked whether there is any precedent for the Mayor making block size changes.
Staff clarified that the Mayor has not yet approved modifications in the BP zone but has approved some
in other areas recently.
Dan Harrington, the Development Manager, stated that the Staff Report was well done and that they feel
there is not a lot left to say. He introduced Colby Anderson as the civil engineer on the project. He shared
a slide that shows the site between 2200 West and 3200 West. He stated that while all traffic will initially
come from 2200 West, they want to get the bypass road done as quickly as possible so that the site will
have another point of entry. He stated that it would be a multi-year build out, taking 7-10 years to
complete.
Chairperson Barry asked when the bypass road would be completed. The applicant stated he would like
to see it done as close to the first two buildings as possible dependent on the process with the City.
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairperson Amy Barry opened the public hearing.
• Dan Thompson — resident at 2200 W 2600 N — Concerned about the traffic that will be imposed
upon their property. He is also concerned about the size of the road only being 25-30 feet and
construction traffic that will affect them.
• Dave Tolman — Comment read into the record in support of the project.
• Peter Anjuarrerden — neighboring property owner— Concerned about the wetlands and wildlife in
the area and also concerned about whether biking in the neighborhood will be safe. Concerned
about the lack of remaining open space.
• Jack Ray — On behalf of Rudy Reclamation and North Point Reclamation — Concerned that
development so close to the wetlands will negatively affect the area. Supports the developer's
request for block size modification.
• Denise Payne—resident at 2840 N 2200 W—Concerned that construction will destroy 2200 West.
Feels the road is already dangerous and doesn't want to see added development.
• Allison Musser— property owner on 2200 W—Supports the letter from the West Side Community
Council. Concerned about additional traffic on 2200 W and would like to see the bypass road
completed prior to the development of the subdivision.
Salt Lake City Planning Commission March 23, 2022 Page 6
• Chris Souther — resident near the proposed development — concerned about 2200 West and
construction traffic. Feels it is a liability and that the bypass road should be completed prior to
development.
• Nichole Solt — 2610 N 2200 W — in opposition to the petition. Concerned about the effect on
wildlife and feels 2200 West is too small
• Terry Marasco —worried about the intent of the developer versus what will actually happen.
• Ella Mendoza — resident in the area — concerned about the speed and adding traffic on 2200
West.
• Joel McAllister — owner at 2596 N 2200 W — says that they have looked at improving the street
but that it takes money.
• Email from Cindy Cromer— Concerned about the wildlife in the area
• Email from Steven Keyser - in favor of the petition
Seeing that no one else wished to speak, Chairperson Amy Barry closed the public hearing.
Applicant Patrick Marcotte stated that they do not have any reason to improve 3200 W. Responding to
concerns about 2200 West he stated they are aware of the challenges, and they are proposing and
funding a bypass road that will tie into 2100 North. He said it will take some time, so while there will be
added traffic on 2200 W it will only be for a short time.
Commissioner Burrows stated the at the block size modification will allow traffic to be limited on 2200
West. She also stated that the Commission cannot require the property owner to do something on land
that they do not own, that they are not able to make a condition to build a road for the block size
modification since they do not own that property.
Commissioner Bell asked for a description of the improvements that will be made on 2200 West that are
listed in the staff report. Staff clarified that 36 feet of additional asphalt will be added to the west side of
the road. Commissioner Bell asked whether sidewalks would be added. Staff clarified that it would be on
the west side. Commissioner Bell asked if the developer would be required to fix any damaged area of
the roads. Staff stated that would be a requirement for them to complete repairs.
Chairperson Barry asked if the Commission had any legal purview to address the timing. Staff clarified
that there was no legal purview for the Commission to do that. She also wanted to know if the City
required construction flagging since the road is quite narrow. Staff clarified that the Engineering
Department has requirements for what that access point has to be, and flagging could be required.
Commissioner Scheer stated that she does not have a problem with the block size modification. She
stated that she did drive to the site and down 2200 West. She stated that she believed that North Point
Community Council may be working on a Plan for that area but that they as a Commission are not able
to hold up this proposal while the North Point Plan is being completed. She encouraged the public to
participate in the plan to the extent possible.
Commissioner Burrows asked who would be responsible for closing 3200 West. Planning Director Nick
Norris clarified that the City could potentially close the street or vacate it but that it is ultimately a City
Council's decision.
Salt Lake City Planning Commission March 23, 2022 Page 7
Commissioner Scheer asked for clarification on whether the open space required for each lot could be
consolidated and what kind of process would need to be gone through to accomplish that. Director Nick
Norris clarified that a Planned Development could be done or that state code authorizes administrative
development agreements if the proposal meets code. He stated that a change to code would be required
for the BP zone in the future to allow for consolidation of open space without another process.
Commissioner Scheer asked how much BP zone is left in the City. Director Nick Norris stated that he
believed that there were 800 to 900 acres total in the City. Commissioner Scheer then asked whose
decision it is to make changes to the canal in the open space. Staff clarified that it would be up to City
through public utilities. He stated that they have had canals that have been diverted before.
MOTION
Commissioner Brenda Scheer stated, based on the analysis and findings listed in the staff report,
information presented, and the input received during the public hearing, I move that the Planning
Commission send a positive recommendation to the Mayor for the block size modification as
requested as part of Preliminary Subdivision request PLNSUB2021-00740.
Commissioner Adrienne Bell seconded the motion. Commissioners Aimee Burrows, Brenda
Scheer, Maurine Bachman, Jon Lee, and Adrienne Bell all voted "yes". The motion passed

Swaner Subdivision located at approximately 2691 N 2200 West, with the conditions listed in the

Zoning Map Amendment at approximately 805 South 800 West - Jake Billitteri, representing the
property owner, is requesting an amendment to the zoning map for the property at the above-stated
address. The proposal would rezone the property from M-1 Light Manufacturing to R-MU-45 Residential
Mixed Use Zoning District. The subject parcel is approximately .11 acres or 4,792 square feet. Future
development plans were not submitted with this application. The property is within Council District 2,
represented by Alejandro Puy. (Staff contact: Brooke Olson at 801-535-7118 or
brooke.olson@slcgov.com) Case number PLNPCM2021-01077
Associate Planner Brooke Olson reviewed the petition as outlined in the staff report. She stated that Staff
recommends a positive recommendation to City Council.
Salt Lake City Planning Commission March 23, 2022 Page 8
Commissioner Brenda Scheer asked for clarification on how many units would be allowed under zoning
for R-MU-45. Brooke Olson clarified that R-MU-45 doesn't require a minimum for square footage and that
it really depends on how the applicant lays out the parcel. Brenda Scheer asked for clarification on if each
unit requires 2,500 square feet. Planning Manager John Anderson clarified that if it is rear loaded unit, it
doesn't require lot size requirements. Brenda Scheer asked for clarification on a rear loading unit. John
Anderson clarified that if you have a unit where the parking is located in the back of the property instead
of on the street. Brenda Scheer asked why they chose R-MU-45 and not R-MU-35. Brooke Olson stated
it was because the applicant requested R-MU-45.
Jordan Atkin stated that after discussion with staff they believed R-MU-45 was more compatible. He
stated that they decided on R-MU-45 over R-MU-35 because it helps to create a hierarchy as you get
closer to the development potential that is likely to occur as you come off the freeway. He did state that
they are open to switching to R-MU-35 instead of R-MU-45.
Commissioner Brenda Scheer stated that she needs clarification regarding the setbacks and the
development requirements of the R-MU-45 zone. Nick Norris stated that for R-MU-45 there is no minimum
unit requirement for lot area and no minimum for existing lots. He stated that there is no minimum lot size
for multi-family if it's an existing lot. He also stated that they rely on the bulk requirements of the zone
and if someone is able to design something that fits and meets all the standards.
Chairperson Amy Barry stated that she is concerned how this block ultimately redevelops, in that height
seems more appropriate closer to the freeway in relationship to the R-MU zone that is on the corner of
9t" West. She also stated that she believes R-MU-45 is not the right zone for the portion of the block.
Jordan Atkin stated that they would be willing to change to the R-MU-35 instead of the R-MU-45.
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairperson Amy Barry opened the public hearing.
Seeing that no one wished to speak, Chairperson Amy Barry closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Brenda Scheer stated that she would be more comfortable recommending a R-MU-35.
Chairperson Amy Barry asked for clarification if they would be able to create a motion with the new zone
of R-MU-35 since the applicant has already agreed to allowing R-MU-35. Planning Director Nick Norris
stated that he would recommend the applicant provide a clear response to the Comm ission'sR-MU-35
rezone recommendation. Brenda Scheer asked if they should table the motion to allow the applicant to
bring back a revised proposal. Nick Norris clarified that to table the motion would not be necessary but
to clarify that the applicant is accepting of a motion of a different zone. Amy Barry asked the applicant if
he is clear on what a development for a R-MU-35 zone would entail for this lot. Jordan Atkin stated that
they are fully on board with R-MU-35 zoning.
MOTION
Commissioner Brenda Scheer stated, Based on the information in the staff report,the information
presented, and the input received during the public hearing, I move that the Planning Commission
Salt Lake City Planning Commission March 23, 2022 Page 9
forward a positive recommendation to the City Council for a R-MU-35 zoning change that was on
the parcel part of PLNPCM2021-01077.
Commissioner Adrienne Bell seconded the motion. Vice-Chairperson Maurine Bachman,
Commissioners Adrienne Bell, Jon Lee, Brenda Scheer, Adrienne Bell, and Aimee Burrows all
voted "yes". The motion passes unanimously.
R-2 Lot Coverage Zoning Text Amendment - Jim Bradley, the property owner at approximately 927
East 700 South, has submitted a petition to amend a section of the Zoning Ordinance related to
building coverage limitations in the R2 Single and Two-Family Residential District. The subject
regulation is found in Section 21A.24.11OF. The Zoning Ordinance currently limits the building coverage
for single-family homes to 40% of the lot and the building coverage for duplexes to 45% of the lot. The
proposed amendment would increase the allowable building coverage to 45% for single-family homes
in the R2 district. (Staff Contact: Meagan Booth at 801-535-7213 or meagan.booth@slcgov.com) Case
number PLNPCM2021-01228
Planning Manager Wayne Mills, filling in for Principal Planner Meagan Booth, reviewed the petition as
outlined in the staff report. He stated that Staff analyzed the applicant's proposal and took it a step further
and analyzed allowing 45 percent building coverage for all single-family homes in the R-2 zoning district.
He added that the proposal does not affect or impact the other zoning requirements. He stated that Staff
recommends the Planning Commission approve the request.
Commissioner Scheer asked if the public input was sought on the second part of the proposal. Staff
clarified that it had not been part of the initial notification.
Chairperson Barry addressed that the Commission did receive one emailed public comment that
mentioned the second part of the proposal.
The applicant Jim Bradley stated that his home needs to be kept as it is but the limitations under the
current zoning don't allow it to be. He stated that Wayne Mills did a good job and feels that expanding
the request to all of the R-2 zones is very appropriate.
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairperson Amy Barry opened the public hearing.
Seeing that no one wished to speak, Chairperson Amy Barry closed the public hearing.
Chairperson Barry stated that the staff report was very direct and helpful and is in favor of the petition.
Planning Manager Wayne Mills further explained the public notification process in regard to this specific
petition saying that the notice language was kept open. He stated that the language for the notice
advertised it as expanding the building coverage in the R-2 district so that people wouldn't assume that
it only applied to 5,000 square foot lots.
Salt Lake City Planning Commission March 23, 2022 Page 10
Chairperson Barry reminded the audience that the Commission is making a recommendation to City
Council and there would be additional opportunity for public participation.
Director Nick Norris opened up the open house language and read the proposal to the Commission,
sharing that it does not differentiate the lot size.
Commissioner Scheer stated that her concern was that it was properly noticed.
MOTION

input received during the public hearing, I move that the Planning Commission transmit a
favorable recommendation to the City Council regarding petition PLNPCM2021-01228, an
amendment to Section 21A.24.110F of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance. The specific change
to the text of the Zoning Ordinance is found on page 2 of the Planning Commission Staff Report.
Commissioner Maurine Bachman, Aimee Burrows, Jon Lee, Adrienne Bell, Brenda Scheer all
