of properties in noisy areas subject to the
construction of sound attenuation measures)
AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING SECTION 21.80.290 TO THE SALT LAKE
CITY CODE, REGULATING DEVELOPMENT IN NOISY AREAS SUBJECT TO THE
CONSTRUCTION OF SOUND ATTENUATION MEASURES.
WHEREAS, the City has determined it appropriate to regulate
the development of properties in noisy areas subject to the
construction of sound attenuation measures in order to make the
City eligible for funding of sound attenuation measures projects
by the Federal Highway Administration and/or the Utah Department
of Transportation;
Now, therefore, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt
Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. That Section 21.80.290 be, and the same hereby
is, adopted to read as follows:
21.80.290 Noise abatement measures required.

the development of certain undeveloped lands in the City adjacent
to certain state highways pursuant to applicable federal or State
statutes or regulations.
B. Applicability. The provisions of this Section shall
apply to only the following developments:
1. Subdivisions for which City approval is sought
after the earliest date of public knowledge of the State
highway's approved alignment as determined by the State; and
2. Which are located adjacent to freeways (high-speed
highways with full access control) and expressways (high-
speed highways with limited access control) or where home
sites in' the subdivision back onto any other state highway.
C. Technical Standards. No subdivision shall be
approved for any purpose incompatible with a noisy environment,
as determined pursuant to applicable federal or State statutes or
regulations, including regulations of the Federal Highway
Administration and the Utah Department of Transportation, unless
appropriate noise abatement measures have been certified by the
Utah Department of Transportation or by a licensed professional
acoustical engineer.
D. Design Guidelines and Preferences. Noise abatement
may be accomplished in the form of architectural solutions such
as sound insulation in the building, placement of accessory
buildings in such a manner to block sound or a landscaping
solution including berms, trees, shrubbery, fencing and
2
associated irrigation systems. Noise abatement walls will only
be accepted when other solutions are impractical.
E. Design Approval Process. Noise abatement measures
shall be considered as part of the subdivision approval process
otherwise specified by this Title.
F. Relationship to Other Provisions. Zoning regulations
concerning fencing height, setbacks or grade changes at the
property line may be waived or modified as part of the
subdivision approval process as determined necessary to implement
effective and aesthetically acceptable noise abatement.
21.80.291 City Reviewer.

concerning sound attenuation measures is required by law, the
City hereby designates The Planning Director as the City's
representative.
