City anticipates extensive redevelopment in the Gateway
District; and
WHEREAS, the City has enacted a separate master plan

NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of
Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. Section 21A.30.010 B of the Salt Lake City
Zoning Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
B. Site Plan Review -Design Review. In certain
districts, permitted uses and conditional uses
have the potential for adverse impacts if located
and laid out on lots without careful planning.
Such impacts may interfere with the use and
enjoinment of adjacent property and uses. Site
plan review is a process designed to address such
adverse impacts and minimize them where possible.
Design review is a process which addresses
elements of urban design.
Site plan review, pursuant to Part V, Chapter
21A.58, for all of the downtown districts, D-1, D-
2, D-3 and D-4, is required to protect the local
economy, maintain safe traffic conditions,
maintain the environment and assure harmonious
land use relationships between commercial uses and
more sensitive land uses in affected areas.
Design review is necessary to implement the
policies of the urban design plan as adopted by
the city council. Design review shall apply only
to conditional uses in the D-1 and D-4 districts.
In the D-1 district, the conditional use process
is used to evaluate and resolve urban design
issues related to the downtown area.

of the buildings is greater than 50% residential
use, and subject to the requirements of Part V,
Chapter 21A.54, Conditional Uses.
F. Minimum Yard Requirements. None required,
except for surface parking lots which are required
to be setback from the front and corner side yard
property lines fifteen (15) feet.
H. Mid -Block Walkways. As a part of the City's
plan for the downtown area, it is intended that
mid -block walkways be provided to facilitate
pedestrian movement within the area. To delineate

design review process established in this chapter.
E. Site Plan Review — Design Review. In certain districts, permitted uses and conditional uses have the
potential for adverse impacts if located and oriented on lots without careful planning. Such impacts may
interfere with the use and enjoyment of adjacent property and uses. Site plan review is a process designed
to address such adverse impacts and minimize them where possible. Design review is a process that
addresses elements of urban design.
Site plan review, pursuant to Part V, Chapter 21A.58, for all of the gateway districts, is required to
protect the local economy, maintain safe traffic conditions, maintain the environment, and assure
harmonious land -use relationships between commercial uses and more sensitive land uses in affected areas.
Design review is necessary to implement the policies of the urban design plan as adopted by the
city council. Design review shall apply only to conditional uses in the gateway district. In the gateway
district, the conditional use process is used to evaluate and resolve urban design.
F. Mid -Block Walkways. As a part of the City's plan for the downtown area, it is intended that mid -block
walkways be provideu to facilitate pedestrian movement within the area. To delineate the public need for
such walkways, the City has formulated an official plan for their location and implementation, which is on
file at the Planning Division office. All buildings constructed after the effective date of this Ordinance
within the G-MU Gateway Mixed -use District shall conform to this plan for mid -block walkways.
G. Location of Service Areas. All loading docks and other service activities shall be located on block
interiors away from view of any public street. Exceptions to this requirement may be approved through the
site plan review process when a permit applicant demonstrates that it is not feasible to accommodate these
activities on the block interior. If such activities are permitted adjacent to a public street, a visual screening
design approved by the zoning administrator shall be required.
H. Restrictions on Parking Lots and Structures. The following regulations shall apply to surface or above
ground parking facilities.
1. Within block corner areas, surface parking lots and structures shall be located behind principal
buildings, or at least seventy-five (75) feet from front and corner side lot lines.
2. Within the mid -block areas, parking structures shall be located behind principal buildings, or at
least thirty (30) feet from front and corner side lot lines, a modification to this requirement may be
ir�
granted as a conditional use, subject to conformance with the standards and procedures of Part V,
Chapter 21A.54, Conditional Uses. Parking structures shall meet the following:
a. Retail goods/service establishments, offices and/or restaurants shall be provided on the
first floor adjacent to the front or corner side lot line. The facades of such first floors
shall be compatible and consistent with the associated retail or office portion of the
building and other retail uses in the area.
b. Levels of parking above the first level facing the front or corner side lot line shall have
floors and/or facades that are horizontal, not sloped.
c. Mid -block surface parking lots shall have a fifteen (15) foot landscaped setback.
3. Accessory parking structures built prior to the principal use, and commercial parking structures,
shall be permitted as conditional uses with the approval of the planning commission pursuant to
the provisions of Part V, Chapter 21A.54, Conditional Uses.
4. No special design and setback restrictions shall apply to below ground parking facilities.
5. The minimum height for a parking structure shall be forty-five feet. The maximum height shall
not exceed seventy-five (75) feet.
6. Parking structures shall be required to go through the Site Plan Review process.
7. Surface parking lots shall have a landscaped setback of at least twenty (20) feet and meet interior
landscaped requirements as outlined in Section 21A.48, Landscaping and Buffers.
8. Conditional Use Approval. A modification to the restrictions on parking lots and structures
provisions of this section may be granted as a conditional use, subject to conformance with the
standards and procedures of Part V, Chapter 21A.54, Conditional Uses. Such conditional uses
shall also be subject to design review.
Impact Controls and General Restrictions.
1. Refuse Control. Refuse containers must be covered and shall be stored within completely
enclosed buildings or screened in conformance with the requirements of Part IV, Chapter 21A.48,
Landscaping and Buffers. For buildings existing as of April 12, 1995, this screening provision
shall be required if the floor area or parking requirements are increased by twenty-five percent or
more by an expansion to the building or change in the type of land use.
2. Lighting. G.. site lighting, including parking lot lighting and illuminated signs, shall be located,
directed or designed in a manner to prevent glare on adjacent properties.
J. Outdoor Sales, Display and Storage. Outdoor sales and display and outdoor storage, as defined in Part

Obstructions in Yards, Section 21A.36.030, Home Occupations, and Chapter 21A.40, Accessory Uses,
Buildings and Struct_es.
P. Urban Design. The urban design standards are intended to foster the creation of a rich urban environment
that accommodates growth and is compatible with existing buildings and uses in the area. All general
development and site plans shall be designed to compliment the surrounding existing contiguous [historic]
development. The following design standards will provide human scale through change, contrast,
intricacy, color and materials where the lower levels of buildings face public streets and sidewalks. They
will also spatially define the street space in order to concentrate pedestrian activity, create a clear urban
character and promote visibility of commercial activities at the ground level. The standards will also
encourage diversity through the use of building forms and materials, while respecting the patterns, styles
and methods of construction traditionally used in the gateway area.
The following urban design standards will be reviewed as part of the site plan review process, with
assistance from Planning Division staff as necessary.
1. Architectural Character and Materials.
a. A differentiated base [on a building over 45 feet high] will provide human scale though
change, contrast, and intricacy in facade form, color and/or material where the lower
levels of the building face the sidewalk(s) and street(s). Scaling elements such as insets
and projections serve to break up flat or monotonous facades, and respond to older
nearby buildings. Therefore, all buildings in the gateway districts are subject to the
fol1..wing standards:
i. All buildings over forty-five (45) feet in height shall be designed with a base
that is differentiated from the remainder of the building. The base shall be
between one (1) and three (3) stories in height, be visible from pedestrian view,
and appropriately scaled to the surrounding contiguous historic buildings. The
base shall include fenestration that distinguishes the lower from upper floors.
Insets and/or projections are encouraged.
ii. All new buildings in the gateway district shall have a minimum of seventy
(70%) percent of the exterior material (excluding windows) be brick, masonry,
textured or patterned concrete and/or cut stone. With the exception of minor
building elements (e.g. soffit, fascia) the following materials are allowed only
under the conditional use process: E.I.F.S., tilt -up concrete panels, corrugated
metal, vinyl and aluminum siding, and other materials.
iii. All buildings which have been altered over seventy-five (75%) percent on the
exterior facade shall comply with the exterior material requirement for new
construction. Buildings older than 50 years are exempt from this requirement if
alterations are consistent with the existing architecture.
iv. Two dimensional curtain wall veneer of glass, spandrel glass or metal as a
primary building material is prohibited. The fenestration of all new construction
shall be three dimensional (e.g. recessed windows, protruding cornice, etc.).
b. The climate in Salt Lake City is such that in the summer months shade is preferred, and
in the winter months protection from snow is preferred. By providing the pedestrian with
a sidewalk that is enjoyable to use year round, a pedestrian oriented neighborhood is
encouraged. Therefore, new construction in the Gateway area is subject to the following
standards:
i. Arcades - are permitted in the Gateway district, but where an arcade extends
over the public way, a revocable permit is required. Where an arcade is on
private property facing the street, the maximum setback for the building shall be
private property facing the street, the maximum setback for the building shall be
measured to the supporting beams for the arcade or the facade of the upper
floors, not the facade of the arcade level.
ii. Awnings and/or marquees - with or without signage, are required over entry
doors which are set back from the property line and may be allowed, under
revocable permit, when an entry is at a property line.
iii. Awnings — with or without signage are permitted over ground level windows.
Where awnings extend out over the public way, a revocable permit is required.
2. Windows and Building Fenestration.
a. Buildings whose exteriors are smooth, and do not provide any three-dimensional details
or fenestration are not appropriate in the Gateway district. Recessed windows will
eliminate flat, sterile elevations. Highly reflective materials are distracting, and focus
attention away from the positive qualities of the Gateway district. Therefore, all buildings
in the gateway districts are subject to the following standards:
i. Buildings with completely smooth exterior surfaces shall not be permitted, all
new construction shall have three-dimensional details on the exterior that
includes: cornices, windowsills, headers and similar features.
ii. All windows shall be recessed from the exterior wall a minimum of three (3)
inches. Bay windows, projecting windows, and balcony doors are exempt from
this requirement.
iii. The reflectivity of the glass used in the windows shall be limited to eighteen
percent (18%) as defined by the ASTA Standard.
3. Entrance and Visual Access
a. The intent in the Gateway district is to encourage pedestrian activity between the public
street/sidewalk and buildings. Sidewalks shall provide continuous, uninterrupted interest
to the pedestrian by providing visual interest and/or amenities. The gateway
environment will benefit with increased pedestrian activity, this activity will only occur if
opportunities are provided that make walking to a destination a preferred and an
enjoyable pursuit. The use of blank building facade walls is discouraged. Therefore, all
buildings in the gateway area are subject to the following standards:
i. Minimum First Floor Glass. The first floor elevation facing a street of all new
buildings or buildings in which the property owner is modifying the size of
windows on the front facade within the gateway district shall not have less than
forty (40%) percent glass surfaces. All first floor glass shall be a non -reflective.
Display windows that are three-dimensional and are at least two feet deep are
permitted and may be counted toward the forty per cent (40%) glass
requirement. Exceptions to this requirement may be authorized as conditional
uses, subject to the requirements of Part V, Chapter 21A.54, Conditional Uses,
and the review and approval of the planning commission. The Zoning
Administrator may approve a modification to this requirement, as a Routine and
Uncontested Special Exception, pursuant to the procedures found in Part II,
Chapter 21A.14 Routine and Uncontested Matters, if the Zoning Administrator
finds:
a) The requirement would negatively impact the historic character of the
building, or
b) The requirement would negatively impact the structural stability of the
building.
ii. Provide at least one (1) operable building entrance per elevation that faces a
public street. Buildings that face multiple streets are only required to have one
door on either street, if the facades for both streets meet the forty (40%) percent
glass requirement.
iii. The maximum length of any blank wall uninterrupted by windows, doors, art or
architectural detailing at the first floor level shall be fifteen (15) feet.
iv. All building equipment and service areas, including on -grade and roof
mechanical equipment and transformers that are readily visible from the public
right-of-way, shall be screened from public view. These elements shall be sited
to minimize their visibility and impact, or enclosed as to appear to be an integral
part of the architectural design of the building.
4. Building Lines and Front Area Requirements.
a. A continuity of building frontage adjacent and parallel to the street encourages a more
active involvement between building uses and pedestrians. Leftover or ambiguous open
space that has no apparent use or sense of place will not contribute positively to an active
street life. Therefore, all buildings in the Gateway district are subject to the following
stz lard:
i. The majority of the ground level facade of a building shall be placed parallel,
and not at an angle, to the street.
5. Public Amenities and Public Art
a. Amenities and works of art enhance quality of life as well as visual interest. Public
amenities and public art encourage pedestrian activity and contribute to the pedestrian
experience. A cohesive, unified lighting and amenity policy will help give the Gateway
district its own distinctive identity. Therefore, public amenities and public art are subject
to the following standards:
i. Sidewalks and street lamps installed in the public right of way shall be of the
type specified in the Sidewalk/Street Lighting Policy Document.
ii. Public art (which may include artists' work integrated into the design of the
building and landscaping, sculpture, painting, murals, glass, mixed media or
work by artisans), that is accessible or directly viewable to the general public
shall be included in all projects requiring conditional use approval for a site or
design standard. The plan to incorporate public art shall be reviewed by the Salt
Lake Art Design Board.
6. Conditional Use Approval. A modification to the urban design provisions of this section may be
granted as a conditional use, subject to conformance with the standards and procedures of Part V,
Chapter 21,..54, Conditional Uses. Such conditional uses shall also be subject to design review.
