RELATING TO PARKING LOTS AS NONCONFORMING USES IN RESIDENTIAL
DISTRICTS.
WHEREAS, the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, has held
public hearings before its own body and before the Planning
Commission and has taken into account citizen testimony and other
matters as part of its deliberation and pursuant to these
deliberations has concluded that a modification of the provisions
regarding parking lots as nonconforming uses in residential
districts is in the best interests of the City;
THEREFORE, the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, hereby
adopts the following amendment to Section 21. 78.060 of the Salt
Lake City Code:

follows:
Sec. 21. 78.060 Parking lots in residential districts.
A. Where not otherwise authorized by this title, and not
withstanding Section 21.90.040(B)(3) and when in its opinion the
best interests of the community will be served thereby, the
Planning Commission, following an informal hearing, may permit,
temporarily or permanently, the use of land in a residential
district for a parking lot, provided that in such cases:

deemed necessary by the Planning Commission to protect the
character of the residential district, including, but not limited

B. If the proposed parking lot is associated with an
adjacent nonconforming use, the Planning Commission may not
approve the parking lot unless it specifically finds:

and traffic problems;
2. That approval of the parking lot would lessen the
congestion on the streets and in the neighborhood;

use of the nonconforming use and is of such a size and design so
as not to encourage any future expansion of any nonconforming
activities on the adjacent property; and
4. That the proposed parking facilities will overcome
existing problems in the neighborhood and will contribute to the
stability of the neighborhood. Prior code §51-6-7
