SECTION 1. Amending the text of Salt Lake City Code Section 21 A 26.030.E. That Section
21 A.26.030.E of the Salt Lake('ity Code(Zoning:Commercial Districts:CB Community
Business District)shall be,and hereby is,amended to read as follows:
21A.26.030:CB COMMUNITY BUSINESS DISTRICT:
E. Building Size Limits:Buildings in excess of seven thousand five hundred(7,500)
gross square feet of floor area for a first floor footprint or in excess of fifteen
thousand(15,000)gross square feet floor area overall,shall be allowed only through
the conditional building and site design review process.An unfinished basement used
only for storage or parking shall be allowed in addition to the total square footage.In
addition to the conditional building and site design review standards in Chapter
21A.59,the planning commission shall also consider the following standards:
1. Compatibility:The proposed height and width of new buildings and additions
shall be visually compatible with buildings found on the block face.
2. Roofline:The roof shape of a new building or addition shall be similar to roof
shapes found on the block face.
3. Vehicular Access:New buildings and additions shall provide a continuous street
wall of buildings with minimal breaks for vehicular access.
4. Facade Design:Façade treatments should be used to break up the mass of larger
buildings so they appear to be multiple,smaller scale buildings.Varied rooflines,
varied facade planes,upper story step backs,and lower building heights for
portions of buildings next to less intensive zoning districts may be used to reduce
the apparent size of the building.
5. Buffers: When located next to low density residential uses,the planning
commission may require larger setbacks,landscape buffers and/or fencing than
what are required by this title if the impacts of the building mass and location of
the building on the site create noise,light trespass or impacts created by parking
and service areas.
6. Step Backs: When abutting single story development and/or a public street,the
planning commission may require that any story above the ground story be
stepped back from the building foundation at grade to address compatibility
issues with the other buildings on the block face and/or uses.
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 2nd day of February
