PURSUANT TO PETITION NO. 400-01-24.
WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Zoning Code contains various regulations
regarding sign regulations in each of the zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, 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 sign standards for the Gateway Zoning District
should be amended to allow certain additional signage in the Gateway Zoning District,
and that such 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. The table entitled "Sign Type, Size And Height Standards For The
G-MU District," located at Section 21A.46.115.A.3 of the Salt Lake City Code shall be
and hereby is amended to read as set forth on Exhibit"A" attached hereto.
SECTION 2. Sections 21A.46.115.A.4.a and b of the Salt Lake City Code shall
be and hereby are enacted to read as follows:

uses only:
