No. 25 of 2000
(Amending Salt Lake City Code Regarding Billboard Regulations)
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SALT LAKE CITY CODE REGARDING
BILLBOARD REGULATIONS, PURSUANT TO PETITION NO. 400-99-65.
WHEREAS, the City has recently become aware of some confusion regarding the
appropriate interpretation of the City's existing billboard ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds after public hearings before its own body and before
the Planning Commission that portions of the Salt Lake City Zoning Code which relate to the
regulation of billboards should be amended to clarify the purpose and intent of the ordinance and
to eliminate any confusion regarding that interpretation, and finds that the 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 21A.46.160.1 of the Salt Lake City Code shall be and hereby
is amended to read as follows:
1. Purpose Statement: This Chapter is intended to limit the maximum number of
billboards in Salt Lake City to no greater than the current number. This Chapter further
provides reasonable processes and methods for the replacement or relocation of existing
nonconforming billboards to areas of the City where they will have less negative impact
on the goals and policies of the City which promote the enhancement of the City's
gateways, views, vistas and related urban design elements of the City's master plans.
SECTION 2. The definition of"billboard credit" defined in Section 21A.46.160.2 of the
Salt Lake City Code shall be and hereby is amended to read as follows:
"Billboard credit"means an entry into a billboard owner's billboard bank account that
shows the number and square footage of demolished nonconforming billboards.
SECTION 3. Section 21A.46.160.15 of the Salt Lake City Code shall be and hereby is
amended to read as follows:
15. Special Gateway Provisions:
a. If a nonconforming billboard is demolished within a special gateway,the
billboard owner may construct a new billboard along the same special gateway in a
zoning district equal to or less restrictive than that from which the nonconforming
billboard was removed and subject to subsections 16,17,18 and 19 of this Section,
provided that the size of the new billboard does not exceed the amount of billboard
credits in the special gateway billboard bank.
b. The demolition of a nonconforming billboard pursuant to this Section shall not
accrue billboard credits within the general billboard bank. Credits for a billboard
demolished or constructed within a special gateway shall be tracked within a separate
bank account for each special gateway. A permit for the construction of a new billboard
pursuant to this Section must be taken out within thirty six(36)months of the demolition
of the nonconforming billboard.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This ordinance shall become effective on the date of its
first publication.
