spaces, provided the following conditions are fulfilled :

permit, the Board shall apply the following standards :
( a) The enlargement shall not convert existing garage
space to living area, nor use required parking or driveway

has been well recognized by cities and communities across the
nation that state and local governmental entities have a
special concern in regulating the operation of such
businesses within their jurisdiction to insure that such
adverse affects will not contribute to the blighting or
downgrading of surrounding neighborhoods or to the harming of
youth in their communities. These special regulations are

park or church; nor within 1, 000 feet of any other similar

mining a three (3) block radius, a block shall include a

with a street of 8 rods or a total of 792 linear feet per
block . Said radius shall be determined from the perimeters
of the property lines of schools and parks and from the point
of a church or other building closest to the proposed
location .
( c) Exceptions.

not apply to premises licensed to sell beer, which
licenses shall be governed by the provisions of titles
19 and 20 of these revised ordinances .

locations other than those outlined above, upon

( 34 ) (a) In the development and adoption of this ordinance,
it is recognized that there are some business uses which
because of their very nature are and have been recognized as
-72-
having serious objectional operational characteristics,
particularly wherever more than one such business is
concentrated within an area of close proximity, having a
serious deletorious effect upon these surrounding areas. It
has been well recognized by cities and communities across the
nation that state and local governmental entities have a
special concern in regulating the operation of such
businesses within their jurisdiction to insure that such
adverse affects will not contribute to the blighting or
downgrading of surrounding neighborhoods or to the harming of
youth in their communities. These special regulations are
set forth in subsections ( b) and ( c) below. The primary
control or regulation of these establishments is for the
purpose of preventing a concentration of these uses in any
one area and for the preservation of neighborhoods in
adjacaent areas in which these locations may be permitted .
( b) No shop, retail business, store, drugstore, adult
business , or other premise or any portion thereof which
caters exclusively to adult persons to the advertised or
unadvertised exclusion of persons under the age of 18 years
may be located within a three-block radius of any school ,
park or church ; nor within 1, 000 feet of any other similar
establishment or adult business.
For purposes of applying the above criteria in deter-
mining a three ( 3 ) block radius , a block shall include a
-73-
standard city grid block face of 660 linear feet together
with a street of 8 rods or a total of 792 linear feet per
block . Said radius shall be determined from the perimeters
of the property lines of schools and parks and from the point
of a church or other building closest to the proposed
location .
( c) Exceptions.
( i) The regulations in subsection ( b) above shall
not apply to premises licensed to sell beer, which
licenses shall be governed by the provisions of titles
19 and 20 of these revised ordinances .
( ii) Any adult business other than those licensed
to sell alcoholic beverages may be allowed upon
locations other than those outlined above, upon
receiving special approval of the mayor as provided in
the procedure established in Section 20-20-7 (2 ) of
these revised ordinances .
( iii) The provisions of ( b) above shall not apply
to state owned or operated liquor licenses which shall
be governed by criteria specified in Section 51-21-8.
SECTION 52. That Section 51-31-1 of the Revised Ordinances

-74-
dedicated to public use as shown on documents in the office of
the City Engineer shall constitute the official street map of
Salt Lake City as modified from time to time by ordinance.
SECTION 53. That Section 51-32-7 of the Revised Ordinances
of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1965, as amended , relating to demolition
permits, be, and the same is hereby amended as follows :
Sec . 51-32-7. Demolition permits. ( a) Permit Required .
No structure or building within an historical district and no
landmark site shall be demolished or removed , without a permit
bearing the approval of Planning , upon recommendation from the
Historical Landmarks Committee, which may be obtained , as
hereinafter provided .
( b) Process of Reviews . All applications for such permits
must be accompanied by post-demolition or post-removal schematic
construction plans or landscaping plans for the site, which plans
shall be submitted to the Historical Landmarks Committee for
recommendation. Within sixty days of presentation of complete
application by the applicant at a regularly-scheduled meeting of
the Committee, that Committee shall make its recommendation
either : approving the demolition project as appropriate ; or
finding demolition inappropriate, in which case the Committee may
defer the effective date of the approval for a five-month waiting
period . In the event the delay period is invoked , the Committee
may negotiate during the delay period with the owner and with any
other interested parties, in an effort to find some means of
-75-
preserving the building( s) . If at the end of the five-month
delay period , no solution has been agreed upon, the application
shall be forwarded to Planning for approval and the issuance of
the permit after compliance with applicable bonding requirements
below .
( c) Landscaping Plan and Bond . Prior to approval of any
demolition permit, Planning shall review the post demolition or
.removal plans to determine if a faithful performance bond is
required hereunder to ensure the installation and maintenance of
sprinkled landscaping upon the regraded lot according to ( 1 ) the
landscaping plan approved by the Committee , or (2 ) in absence
thereof, a minimum standard of automatically sprinkled sodded
grass , within six months following the demolition. Planning' s
decision to require a bond under this section may be appealed to
the Planning Commission. If a bond is required , it must be
issued by a corporate surety authorized to do business in Utah,
in a form approved by the City Attorney or a cash bond under an
escrow agreement approved as to form and terms by the City
Attorney. Said bond shall be in an amount determined by Planning
and shall be sufficient to cover the estimated costs, as
determined by the City Engineer to (1 ) restore the grade as
required by Title 5 of these Revised Ordinances; ( 2 ) install a
working automatic sprinkling system; (3 ) revegetate and landscape
with sodded grass; and ( 4 ) continuing obligation to maintain the
same in an orderly , clean condition until a structure is
-76-
constructed upon the site. Said bond shall require installation
of landscaping and sprinklers within six months, unless the owner
has obtained a valid building permit and commenced pouring
foundations. It shall be the owner' s responsibility at all times
to maintain the landscaped lot in an orderly, clean and good
condition to avoid becoming an eyesore, weedpatch or otherwise
detrimental to the streetscape or public health.
Said bond shall be required under the following
circumstances:
( 1 ) Upon applications involving property located within any
historic district ; and
( 2 ) Upon applications involving property located upon a
Landmark Site .
SECTION 54. That Section 51-32-8 of the Revised Ordinances
of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1965, as amended , relating to zoning ,
be, and the same is hereby amended as follows :
Sec . 51-32-8. Development Standards.
(1 ) In passing upon an application to demolish, or demolish
in part, or remove , or alter the exterior architectural appear-
ance of any existing building or structure located within any
historic district or landmark site, Planning shall consider ,
among other things, the historic , architectural and aesthetic
features of such structure , the nature and character of the
surrounding area, the use of such structure, and its importance
to the city, and the feasibility and desirability of preserva-
-77-
tion.
( 2 ) Whenever Planning disapproves or fails to approve an
application for a permit to demolish a building or structure
located with an historic district or landmark site , Planning must
determine that the building or structure is historically or
architecturally significant and that preservation is feasible and
desirable. Following its disapproval of an application for a
permit to demolish a building or structure, Planning shall take
or encourage the taking of whatever steps seem likely to lead to
such preservation.
( 3 ) In passing upon an application for construction of new
buildings or structures in an historic district, Planning shall
consider whether the proposed building or structure will be
visually compatible with buildings and places to which it will be
visually related , and will also consider the following :
( a ) Height. The height of the building shall be
visually compatible with adjacent buildings.
( b) Proportion of the building' s front facade. The
relationship of the width of a building to the height of the
front elevation shall be visually compatible to buildings and
places to which it is visually related .
( c) Proportion of opening within the facility. The
relationship of the width of the windows to height of windows
in a building shall be visually compatible with buildings and
places to which it is visually related .
-78-
( d) Rhythm of solids to voids in front facades. The
relationship of solids to voids in the front facade of a
building shall be visually compatible with buildings and
places to which it is visually related .
(4 ) Planning may review , and then approve or deny the
building materials to be used for new construction, for
restoration, or for additions to structures which are subject to
the provisions of this chapter. In making its determination ,
Planning shall consider whether the proposed materials are
visually compatible with the historic character of the
District. For restoration of and additions to historic
structures , the materials used shall be compatible with those
used in the original structure. Where the proposed material is
not original to the structure or to the historical period of the
structure, it may be presumed to be visually incompatible and
inappropriate unless demonstrated otherwise. Certain building
materials are prohibited , including but not limited to the
following :
( a) Vinyl or aluminum siding , often applied over the
top of existing , authentic wood siding .
( b) Any other imitation siding material designed to
look like wood siding , but fabricated from an imitation
material or materials.
SECTION 55. This Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after
its first publication .
