SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. 59 of 1993
(Enacting Section 21.92.021 providing a temporary
regulation prohibiting the erection or construction
of any new billboards within the City.)
AN ORDINANCE ENACTING SECTION 21.92.021 PROVIDING AN
EXTENDABLE TEMPORARY PROHIBITION ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW
BILLBOARDS.
WHEREAS, Section 10-9-404 of the Utah Code Annotated allows
cities, without a public hearing, to enact ordinances
establishing temporary zoning regulations for any part or all of
the City if the City Council makes a finding of a compelling,
countervailing public interest; and
WHEREAS, Section 10-9-404, U.C.A. allows the City in the
temporary regulation to prohibit or regulate the erection,
construction, reconstruction, or alteration of any building or
structure; and
WHEREAS, the City is in the process of researching and
writing a comprehensive regulation of billboards;
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the continuing
construction and erection of billboards, prior to the new
comprehensive regulations, is contrary to the City's master plan
and the best interests of the City and that the adverse affects
of such billboards constitute a compelling, countervailing public
interest which justifies an extendable temporary prohibition; and
THEREFORE, the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah hereby
adopts Section 21.92.021 to the Salt Lake City Code.
Be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. That Section 21.92.021.B, and the same hereby is
enacted to read as follows:
Section 21.92.021 Temporary prohibition of new billboard
construction or erection.
A. Pursuant to Section 10-9-404, Utah Code Annotated, the
City Council expressly finds that the adverse effect of the
construction and erection of billboards for which permits have
not been obtained, while the City investigates a comprehensive
regulation of billboards, is not in the best interests of the
City and constitutes a compelling, countervailing public interest
sufficient to justify a six month prohibition.
B. Construction and erection of billboards for which no
permit has been issued on or before July 13, 1993 shall be
prohibited until August 13, 1994. The City specifically reserves
the right to extend this temporary prohibition by subsequent
ordinance to the maximum time allowed by law.
SECTION 2. Three copies of this ordinance have been filed
with the City Recorder for use and examination by the public
prior to the ordinance's adoption. Accordingly, pursuant to
Section 10-3-711, U.C.A., this ordinance shall take effect
immediately. In the alternative, the City Recorder is also
instructed to publish the ordinance. In the event that immediate
effectiveness is subsequently determined to be invalid, this
ordinance shall be deemed effective on the date of its first
publication.
