SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. 17 of 1999
(Amending Chapter 21A.54.150 of the
Salt Lake City Code regarding street width
for infill development projects)
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 21A.54.150 OF THE SALT LAKE
CITY CODE REGARDING THE REQUIRED STREET WIDTH FOR RESIDENTIAL INFILL
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, PURSUANT TO PETITION NO. 400-98-51.
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Zoning Code currently requires a certain
minimum street width for all publicly owned streets; and
WHEREAS, for infill development projects which are unable to meet that
minimum street width requirement, all streets and utilities are required to be
privately owned and maintained; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, finds after public
hearings before its own body and before the Planning Commission that for some
residential infill development projects, it may be advantageous to allow a reduced
street width in order to both facilitate the development and to provide for public
ownership of the streets and utility systems; and
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Council now wishes to amend the zoning code
to allow for a reduced street width in residential infill development projects, as a
part of the conditional use process, and finds that such amendments are in the best
interest of the City;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City,
Utah:
SECTION 1. That Section 21 A.54.150.E of the Salt Lake City Code shall be
and hereby is amended to read as follows:
E. Other standards.
1 . Minimum Area. A planned development proposed for any parcel
or tract of land under single ownership or control shall have a minimum net
lot area for each zoning district as set forth in Table 21A.54.150.
2. Density limitations. Residential planned developments shall not
exceed the density limitation of the zoning district where the planned
development is proposed. The calculation of planned development density
may include open space that is provided as an amenity to the planned
development. Public or private roadways located within or adjacent to a
planned development, shall not be included in the planned development area
for the purpose of calculating density.
3. Consideration of Reduced Width Public Street Dedication. A
residential planned development application may include a request to
dedicate the street to Salt Lake City for perpetual use by the public. The
request will be reviewed and evaluated individually by appropriate
departments, including transportation, engineering, public utilities, public
services and fire. Each department reviewer will consider the adequacy of
the design and physical improvements proposed by the developer and will
make recommendation for approval or describe required changes. A
synopsis will be incorporated into the staff report for review and decision by
the Planning Commission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such street
will be accepted as a publicly owned street unless there is a minimum width
of 20 feet of pavement with an additional right-of-way as determined by the
Planning Commission.
SECTION 2. EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance shall become effective on
the date of its first publication.
Passed by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, this a,r d. day of
Aar c 1 , 1999.
