WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Planning Commission ("planning commission") held a
public hearing on April 11, 2012 to consider a request made by Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph
Becker (Petition No. PLNPCM2012-00032) to amend section 21A.32.140 (Zoning: Special
Purpose Districts: Table of Permitted and Conditional Uses for Special Purpose Districts) of the
Salt Lake City Code to allow community gardens in open space zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, at its April 11, 2012 hearing, the planning commission voted to transmit a
positive recommendation to the Salt Lake City Council ("city council") on said application; and
WHEREAS, after a public hearing on this matter the city council has determined that
adopting this ordinance is in the city's best interests.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. Amending text of Salt Lake City Code section 21A.32.140 That section
21A.32.140 of the Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Special Purpose Districts: Table of Permitted
and Conditional Uses for Special Purpose Districts), shall be, and hereby is, amended in part to
add "Community gardens (as defined in chapter 21A.62 of this title)" as a recognized

SECTION 2. Intent to Revisit. The locations identified in Section 1 above as
appropriate for community gardens in the OS zoning district are areas where the city council has
determined that such use is appropriate without further study. The city council believes that
community garden use may be appropriate in other locations within the OS zoning district, but
believes that additional study and input from relevant city departments and advisory boards as to
development of specific criteria for allowing such use in additional areas of the OS zoning
district will allow for better policy implementation. To that end, the city council intends to
revisit whether community gardens should be allowed in other locations within the OS zoning
district and do so within the scope of the planning commission's recommendation on this
ordinance.
SECTION 3. 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 24 day of September
2013.
