Transmittal - 4/8/2022ERIN MENDENHALL DEPARTMENT of COMMUNITY Mayor and NEIGHBORHOODS Blake Thomas Director CITY COUNCIL TRANSMITTAL Date Received: Lisa Shaffer, Chief Administrative Officer Date sent to Council: TO: Salt Lake City Council DATE: April 5, 2022 Dan Dugan, Chair FROM: Blake Thomas, Director, Department of Community & Neighborhoods SUBJECT: Petition PLNPCM2017-00753 – Off-Street Parking, Mobility, and Loading Zoning Text Amendments STAFF CONTACT: Eric Daems, Senior Planner (801) 535-7236, eric.daems@slcgov.com DOCUMENT TYPE: Information only RECOMMENDATION: None at this time BUDGET IMPACT: None BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: First Work Session On February 16, 2021, the City Council held the first work session regarding PLNPCM2017-00753, which is a request to amend the regulations for Off-Street Parking, Mobility, and Loading. Planning staff gave an overview of the request and shared that the purpose of the revisions are to align parking standards with the goals identified in the various master plans of the city and to establish Salt Lake City as a place for people, not cars. Staff also discussed the key chapter updates, including the creation of four parking contexts (Transit, Urban Center, Neighborhood Center, and General), revised parking minimums and maximums, updated parking alternatives, and increased bike parking. Council members were then able to ask questions to further understand aspects of the proposed ordinance. Through the process, items that warranted further discussion began to be identified. Council members also presented Planning staff with concerns from constituents. These items included: •Parking concerns with the Ballpark neighborhood •Parking requirements for the redevelopment of small infill lots along certain corridors •The desire to have a transitional period for implementation of the new ordinance SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION 451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 404 WWW.SLC.GOV P.O. BOX 145486, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5486 TEL 801.535.6230 FAX 801.535.6005 4/5/22 4/8/22 •Whether the proposal included sufficient reductions for affordable housing •The status of the On-Street Parking Study for the Central 9th and 9th and 9th areas The council then proposed to hold a public hearing to gather public feedback on the proposal. A second briefing was also agreed upon to provide an opportunity to further explore the questions that arose from the first briefing and those that would come from the public hearing. Public Hearing The public hearing was held on March 16, 2021. During the hearing, six members of the public spoke with varying concern or support of the proposal. The common concerns that emerged from the public hearing included: •Proposed bike parking requirements were still not adequate •The proposed ordinance should not go through without being able to analyze it in light of the (then in-process) On-Street Parking Study for 9th and 9th and Central 9th •Parking requirements should be lowered further to assist with City goals for affordable housing, air quality, and pedestrian friendly design •Reduced parking requirements could create an issue with on-street parking spilling into residential neighborhoods The council then voted to close the public hearing. Second Work Session Following the public hearing, a second council work session was held on April 13, 2021. The discussion was focused on the concerns that had been identified in the first work session and the public hearing. Few of the items were resolved and it was suggested the Council hold a series of small group discussions with the Planning Division to discuss the outstanding issues further. It was also suggested that the Council consider a straw poll for potential solutions on each item. The small group discussions were held on August 24th and 25th, 2021. Small Group Discussions For the small group discussions, Planning staff prepared a summary of the outstanding issues to be addressed, which included potential solutions, and Planning staff’s recommendation for each. At the time, 11 issues had been identified as listed below: •Parking for Lots Under 10,000 Square Feet •Central Ninth •Parking Adjustments Cap of 40% (Senior or Affordable Housing) •Ballpark Area Zoning •Bicycle Parking •Loading Berths •Parking Maximums for Restaurants Uses in Neighborhood Center Context •ADA Parking •Effective Date •Multi-Family Parking Maximums •Social Clubs Definition Each of the items was discussed with the Council members present. Although no actions were taken, preferred solutions were identified to be discussed with the Council in a later meeting. After the small group discussions were held, the Planning Office added three additional issues to be considered. They included: • Storage & Warehousing Parking Minimums • Congregate Care Facilities • Special Exception Language The Storage & Warehousing Parking Minimums discussion focused on the potentially high amount of parking that could be required by the proposed ordinance for a land use that may have very little parking demand. The Congregate Care Facilities and Special Exception Language items were added to the list as both have undergone recent zoning language amendments. The proposed parking ordinance language needed to be revised to be consistent with those amendments. Further summary of these items, and all the outstanding issues discussed throughout the various Council meetings, is included in the attached “List of Outstanding Issues” document. Third Work Session On September 21, 2021, the Council met to discuss each of the 14 outstanding items. Planning staff again went through each outstanding item and sought direction from the Council on which potential solution to pursue for each. General consensus was reached for each item with exception of the Parking Lots Under 10,000 Square Feet issue. At the conclusion of the Council discussion, Planning staff was asked to: 1. Update the proposed ordinance to include the changes generally agreed upon during the Council discussions 2. Provide further analysis of the potential scenarios to resolve the Parking for Lots Under 10,000 Square Feet issue Moving Forward The attached ordinance now includes updates discussed throughout the work sessions and in small group meetings. Per advice from the attorney’s office, the newest changes are shown with a double strike or double underline and are highlighted. The List of Outstanding Issues memo has also been updated to include a “Council Direction” section on each page to indicate the consensus of Council members from previous meetings. The section on Parking for Lots Under 10,000 Square Feet does not include a consensus but does provide further analysis of potential scenarios to resolve the issue. From here, the Council will be able to discuss the final outstanding issues and vote on the proposed ordinance. PUBLIC PROCESS: See the previous transmittal on this petition. EXHIBITS: 1. List of Outstanding Issues 2. Updated Ordinance Off-Street Parking- Outstanding Issues March 31, 2022 CURRENT STATUS: Since the recommendation for approval of the Off-Street Parking ordinance was given by the Planning Commission, a list of 14 outstanding issues with the proposal arose. Potential solutions for each of the issues were discussed during various the meetings with the City Council. The following memo was prepared to guide those discussions but has now been updated with a “Council Direction” section, indicating the consensus direction the Council provided to Planning Staff on each item. Planning Staff has also prepared an updated ordinance to reflect the proposed changes. Identified issues include: a. Parking for Lots Under 10,000 Square Feet b. Central Ninth c. Parking Adjustments Cap of 40% (Senior or Affordable Housing) d. Ballpark Area Zoning e. Storage & Warehousing Parking Minimums f. Bicycle Parking g. Loading Berths h. Parking Maximums for Restaurants Uses in Neighborhood Center Context i. ADA Parking j. Effective Date k. Multi-Family Parking Maximums l. Social Clubs Definition m. Congregate Care Facilities n. Special Exception Language A. Parking for Lots Under 10,000 Square Feet Concern Raised by • City Council Summary of Outstanding Issue There is a concern that small lots (5,000 – 10,000 SF) along certain corridors (1100 East, Main, 900 South etc.) would have a difficult time providing parking if redeveloped. Commercial or multi-family lots under 5,000 SF would already be exempt from minimum parking per 21A44.020.A.4.a. Potential Solutions • Have no parking minimums for lots under 10,000 SF • Allow lots between 5,000 – 10,000 SF to provide 50% of the required minimum parking shown in Table 21A.44.040-A • Leave as proposed and rely on reductions allowed elsewhere in ordinance Staff Recommendation • Leave as proposed and rely on reductions granted elsewhere in ordinance Council Direction • Item still being discussed. No consensus has been reached. See potential solutions below: Solution #1: Have no parking minimums for lots under 10,000 SF; or Solution #2: Allow lots between 5,000 – 10,000 SF to provide 50% of the required minimum parking shown in Table 21A.44.040-A Citywide Considerations • Commercial or multi-family lots under 5,000 SF would already be exempt from minimum parking per 21A44.020.A.4.a • There is no distinguishable pattern to study (see accompanying map) o There are 2,313 parcels citywide this could affect (excluding R-1, R-2, SR, FR, RMF-30, and RMF-35 zones) o The impacted lots/parcels are found throughout the city and in all parking contexts, with each parking context having different parking requirements for each land use. This makes it difficult to predict what types of impacts may occur or what kinds of positives may come of it. • It would be difficult to implement and monitor zoning requirements related to property size as parcels/lots are sometimes combined with others or boundaries between them change. If a parcel/lot size is increased above the threshold, it would trigger the need for full parking compliance. Parcel consolidations and boundary adjustments are common and under Utah code can occur without approval of the city if the parcel doesn’t contain residential land uses. Corridor Specific Considerations (900 S., 1100 E., and Main St.) • The target corridors have differing characteristics that make it difficult to understand the pros and cons of making changes • Creating regulations along specific sections of corridors that would be difficult to administer • The properties along the target corridors/areas are either in the CB, RB, CC, or CN zone- which are all in the Neighborhood Center context o Changes would affect up to 541 properties in these zones  CB- 114, RB- 97, CC- 216, CN- 114 o Many of the properties already have viable uses o Could create additional impacts to surrounding neighborhood, where there is already a delicate balance of parking impacts Scenario Planning • Planning attempted to use examples of parcels that are under 10,000 square feet along the target corridors and in various zoning district to get an idea of the benefits and impacts, but there were so many variables that there was no real indication of the benefits or impacts of the proposed changes. The variables that make the analysis difficult include: o Zoning districts and overlays o Parking contexts o Existing land use o Proposed land use o Site specific constraints  Topography  Driveway access  Lot shape and dimensions  Existing buildings or parking lots o Zoning site design standards (see table)  Setbacks  Maximum height  Maximum building coverage  Buffer yards Site Standards Zone Setbacks Height Max Coverage Buffer Yards CB Front & Corner: 0’ Interior Side: 0’ Rear: 10’ 30’ n/a 7’ adjacent to residential zone RB Front: 20% but not more than 25’ Corner: 10’ Interior Side: 6’ and 10’ Rear: 25% but not more than 30’ 30’ 50% n/a CC Front & Corner: 15’ Interior Side: 0’ Rear: 10’ 30’ n/a 7’ adjacent to residential zone CN Front & Corner: 15’ Interior Side: 0’ Rear: 10’ 25’ n/a 7’ adjacent to residential zone Solution #3: Leave as proposed and rely on reductions elsewhere in ordinance Considerations • Properties along target corridors/areas are in the Neighborhood Center Context which has low base parking requirements • Additional parking only required when: o Development is new o Additional dwelling units are created o Floor area is increased by more than 25% o Proposed new use is listed as conditional • No new parking required for: o Reuse of buildings built prior to 1944 o Change of use that would increase parking demand by less than 10 spaces or 25% of existing stalls o Commercial or multi-family lots less than 5,000 SF Existing Reductions Available in Proposed Ordinance • Up to 40% total reductions available for: o Shared parking o Proximity to fixed-rail transit o Carpool or carshare programs o Valet parking o Affordable or senior housing • Up to 80% total reductions available for: o Affordable or senior housing when combined with other reductions • Any % of reductions available for: o Parking study o Planned Development process What would that look like? Parking Requirements Use Base Standard as Proposed With 40% Reductions With 80% reductions (affordable and senior housing combined with other reductions) Multi-family 1 per DU .6 per DU .2 per DU Office/Restaurant 2/1,000 SF 1.2/1,000 SF n/a Retail 1.5/1,000 SF .9/1,000 SF n/a B. Central Ninth Concern Raised by • City Council • Public Summary of Outstanding Issues There is concern that insufficient off-street parking is being provided for multi-family developments in the Central Ninth area. Currently, much of the Central Ninth area is designated as a Transit Context area. The context limits off-street parking because of the Central Ninth area’s nearness to mass transit lines, including light rail and a bus line on 900 South. However, some people have raised concerns about the availability of vehicle parking in the area. The Central Ninth area consists of three main zoning designations (and context areas): FB-UN2 (Transit), FB-Un1 (Neighborhood Center), and D-2 (Urban Center). The primary concern has been with the lack of parking required for multi-family developments in the FB-UN2 zone. Table 21A.44.040-A: Minimum and Maximum Off-Street Parking DU= Dwelling Unit sq. ft.= Square Feet Minimum Parking Requirement Maximum Parking Allowed Use General Context Neighborhood Center Context Urban Center Context Transit Context All zoning districts not listed in another context area RB, SNB, CB, CN, R- MU-35, R-MU-45, SR- 3, FB-UN1, FB-SE D-2, MU, TSA-T, CSHBD1, CSHBD2 D-1, D-3, D-4, G- MU, TSA-C, UI, FB-UN2, FB-UN3, FB-SC, R-MU Multi-family Studio and 1 bedroom: 1 space per DU, 2+ bedrooms: 1.25 spaces per DU Studio and 1+ bedrooms: 1 space per DU Studio: No Minimum 1 bedroom: 0.5 space per DU 2+bedrooms: 1 space per DU No Minimum All Contexts: Studio & 1 bedroom: 2 spaces per DU 2+ bedrooms: 3 spaces per DU The area is among the best-serviced areas in the city for mass transit and has experienced significant investment from the city and UTA. The 900 South TRAX station is 1 of 4 stations serviced by all 3 TRAX lines. There are 2 high-frequency (15-minute or less) bus routes that run through Central Ninth. The Transit Master Plan envisions the possibility of an additional TRAX line and high-frequency bus routes through the Central Ninth area. Other considerations include: • The area currently has a poor mix of land uses, which complicate access to activities for daily living • The FB-UN2 zone requires smaller scale development than many of the other zones in the Transit context • Official recommendations have yet to be received from the third-party parking study Potential Solution(s) • Include some parking requirements for studio or 1- bedroom units in the Transit context • Leave as proposed Staff Recommendation • Leave as proposed Council Direction • Leave as proposed C. Parking Adjustments Cap of 40% (Senior and Affordable Housing) Concern Raised by • City Council • Public Summary of Outstanding Issues The current proposal allows for 25% parking reductions for multi-family dwellings that include affordable or senior housing, and an additional 15% when located within one-quarter mile of high-frequency bus routes. Affordable or Senior housing not within proximity of high-frequency bus routes could still be combined with other listed parking alternatives but would still be limited to an overall reduction of 40%. There is concern that these reductions are insufficient to address shortages for affordable or senior housing. Additional reductions would only be necessary for the General, Neighborhood Center, or Urban Center context, as the Transit context does not propose parking minimums for these uses as shown below: Table 21A.44.040-A: Minimum and Maximum Off-Street Parking DU= Dwelling Unit sq. ft.= Square Feet Minimum Parking Requirement Maximum Parking Allowed Use General Context Neighborhood Center Context Urban Center Context Transit Context All zoning districts not listed in another context area RB, SNB, CB, CN, R- MU-35, R-MU-45, SR- 3, FB-UN1, FB-SE D-2, MU, TSA-T, CSHBD1, CSHBD2 D-1, D-3, D-4, G- MU, TSA-C, UI, FB-UN2, FB-UN3, FB-SC, R-MU Multi-family Studio and 1 bedroom: 1 space per DU, 2+ bedrooms: 1.25 spaces per DU Studio and 1+ bedrooms: 1 space per DU Studio: No Minimum 1 bedroom: 0.5 space per DU 2+bedrooms: 1 space per DU No Minimum All Contexts: Studio & 1 bedroom: 2 spaces per DU 2+ bedrooms: 3 spaces per DU Potential Solution(s) • Allow for 40% reductions for affordable or senior housing to be added to any other allowed reductions. This would allow for combined reductions up to 80%. • Leave as proposed Staff Recommendation • Allow for 40% reductions for affordable or senior housing to be added to any other allowed reductions. This would allow for combined reductions up to 80%. Council Direction • Allow for 40% reductions for affordable or senior housing to be added to any other allowed reductions. This would allow for combined reductions up to 80%. D. Ballpark Area Zoning Concern Raised by • City Council Summary of Outstanding Issues Due to the underlying zoning, the Ballpark area would be part of the General context and therefore allow for the highest parking counts. This is not consistent with the other goals for the area, especially the portion that is included in the South State Street Corridor Overlay. It is anticipated that the zoning will change in the future, which would shift the area into a parking context that requires less parking; however, that will not occur prior to the adoption of the new parking regulations. Potential Solution(s) • Include the South State Street Corridor Overlay in the Neighborhood Center context as shown below: • Leave as proposed until the area experiences rezoning Staff Recommendation • Include the South State Street Corridor Overlay in the Neighborhood Center context Council Direction • Include the South State Street Corridor Overlay in the Neighborhood Center context Use General Context Neighborhood Center Context Urban Center Context Transit Context All zoning districts not listed in another context area RB, SNB, CB, CN, R-MU-35, R-MU- 45, SR-3, FB-UN1, FB-SE, SSSC Overlay D-2, MU, TSA-T, CSHBD1, CSHBD2 D-1, D-3, D-4, G-MU, TSA-C, UI, FB-UN2, FB-UN3, FB-SC, R-MU E. Storage & Warehousing Parking Minimums Concern Raised by • Planning Office Summary of Outstanding Issues There is concern that proposed parking minimums for Storage & Warehousing uses are too high. The proposed ordinance uses a different formula than existing regulations and could result in minimum parking requirements nearly four times higher than with current regulations. At the same time, parking demand for warehousing uses has generally decreased due to automation, alternative transportation options, and other factors. The proposed requirements are shown in the table below: Table 21A.44.040-A: Minimum and Maximum Off-Street Parking DU= Dwelling Unit sq. ft.= Square Feet Minimum Parking Requirement Maximum Parking Allowed Land Use General Context Neighborhood Center Context Urban Center Context Transit Context All zoning districts not listed in another context area RB, SNB, CB, CN, R-MU-35, R-MU- 45, SR-3, FB-UN1, FB-SE D-2, MU, TSA-T, CSHBD1, CSHBD2 D-1, D-3, D-4, G- MU, TSA-C, UI, FB-UN2, FB-UN3, FB-SC, R-MU Air cargo terminals and package delivery facility 1 space per 1,000 sq. ft., plus 1 space per fleet vehicle generally stored on-site No Maximum Building materials distribution Flammable liquids or gases, heating fuel distribution and storage Package delivery facility Warehouse Warehouse, accessory to retail and wholesale business (maximum 5,000 square foot floor plate) Wholesale distribution Warehouse, accessory 0.5 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of warehouse/wholesale No minimum Potential Solution(s) • Change required parking to No Minimum for Storage and Warehousing uses in all contexts • Decrease the minimum parking for Storage and Warehousing uses to some other fraction • Leave as proposed Staff Recommendation • Change required parking to No Minimum for Storage and Warehousing uses in all contexts Council Direction • Change required parking to No Minimum for Storage and Warehousing uses in all contexts F. Bicycle Parking Concern Raised by • Administration • Planning Office • Public Summary of Outstanding Issues There is concern that the proposed minimum required bicycle parking is too low, specifically for commercial and industrial uses, and that it should be increased to help meet City goals and objectives. The proposed method for calculating bicycle parking is based on use, context, and building size or residential unit count. The proposed requirements are shown in the table below: Table 21A.44.040-A: Minimum Bicycle Parking Requirements* (Calculation of Bicycle Parking Spaces to be Provided per Residential Unit or Based on Usable Floor Area) Use General Context Neighborhood Center Context Urban Center Context Transit Context All zoning districts not listed in another context area RB, SNB, CB, CN, R-MU- 35, R-MU-45, SR-3, FB- UN1, FB-SE D-2, MU, TSA-T, CSHBD1, CSHBD2 D-1, D-3, D-4, G-MU, TSA-C, UI, FB-UN2, FB-UN3, FB-SC, R- MU Residential Uses 1 per 5 units 1 per 4 units 1 per 3 units 1 per 2 units Public, Institutional, and Civic Uses 1 per 10,000 sq. ft. 1 per 5,000 sq. ft. 1 per 5,000 sq. ft. 1 per 3,000 sq. ft. Commercial Uses 1 per 20,000 sq. ft. 1 per 5,000 sq. ft 1 per 4,000 sq. ft. 1 per 2,000 sq. ft. Industrial Uses No requirement No requirement No requirement No requirement *For all uses: In determining the minimum number of bicycle parking spaces required, fractional spaces are rounded to the nearest whole number, with one-half counted as an additional space The table reflects progressive and generally increased bicycle parking requirements for most uses in most of the context areas; however, the required bike parking for commercial uses in the General Context area is low (1 per 20,000 sq. ft.) and no minimum bicycle parking is required for industrial uses in all context areas. The original reasoning behind this was that these uses in these areas may not generate as much bicycle traffic, so bicycle parking would be provided by the developer/business owner on an as-needed basis. To be more consistent with city-wide goals related to air-quality and bike-friendliness, the City Council may want to consider increasing the minimum required bicycle parking for industrial and commercial uses. Potential Solution(s) • Increase required bicycle parking for commercial and industrial uses within each context • Leave as proposed Administration/Staff Recommendation • Increase required bicycle parking for commercial and industrial uses as shown below: Table 21A.44.040-B: Minimum Bicycle Parking Requirements* (Calculation of Bicycle Parking Spaces to be Provided per Residential Unit or Based on Usable Floor Area) Use General Context Neighborhood Center Context Urban Center Context Transit Context All zoning districts not listed in another context area RB, SNB, CB, CN, R-MU- 35, R-MU-45, SR-3, FB- UN1, FB-SE D-2, MU, TSA-T, CSHBD1, CSHBD2 D-1, D-3, D-4, G-MU, TSA-C, UI, FB-UN2, FB-UN3, FB-SC, R- MU Residential Uses 1 per 5 units 1 per 4 units 1 per 3 units 1 per 2 units Public, Institutional, and Civic Uses 1 per 10,000 sq. ft. 1 per 5,000 sq. ft. 1 per 5,000 sq. ft. 1 per 3,000 sq. ft. Commercial Uses 1 per 10,000 sq. ft. 1 per 5,000 sq. ft 1 per 4,000 sq. ft. 1 per 2,000 sq. ft. Industrial Uses 1 per 15,000 sq. ft. 1 per 8,000 sq. ft. 1 per 5,000 sq. ft. 1 per 3,000 sq. ft. *For all uses: In determining the minimum number of bicycle parking spaces required, fractional spaces are rounded to the nearest whole number, with one-half counted as an additional space Council Direction • Increase required bicycle parking for commercial and industrial uses per Administration/Staff recommendation. G. Loading Berths Concern Raised by • Administration • Development Community • Planning Office Summary of Outstanding Issues The proposed number of loading berths required for multi-family developments could be excessive, resulting in underutilized space. Current zoning regulations base the requirement to provide loading berths on building size (square feet) rather than unit count. The current requirement is 1 shorth berth for buildings between 100,000 – 200,000 SF and 1 additional berth for each increase of 200,000 SF. This means that a loading berth is not required for buildings less than 100,000 square feet regardless of the number of dwelling units in the building. The lack of loading berths for some residential developments has placed a burden on the public right-of-way. As a result, the following changes to the loading berth requirements were proposed as part of the parking regulations rewrite: These standards are based off similar size cities with newer parking ordinances. However, after re-examining it, these may be too demanding and may require too much space to be dedicated to loading berths and therefore inhibit City housing and development goals. Potential Solution(s) • Raise the initial threshold for when a loading berth is required • Raise the threshold for when additional loading berths are required • Leave as proposed Administration/Staff Recommendation • Raise both the initial threshold and when additional loading berths are required as shown below: Multi-family Residential # of Dwelling Units (Per Building) Number and Size of Berths 80-200 1 short Greater than 200 1 additional short per 200 units Council Direction • Raise both the initial threshold and when additional loading berths are required per Administration/Staff Recommendation. Multi-family Residential # of Dwelling Units (Per Building) Number and Size of Berths 40-150 1 short 151-300 2 short Greater than 300 1 additional short per 200 units H. Parking Maximums for Restaurant Uses in Neighborhood Center Context Concern Raised by • Planning Office Summary of Outstanding Issues Proposed parking maximums of 7 stalls per 1,000 SF for restaurants uses (restaurants/taverns/brewpubs) in the Neighborhood Center context may be too high and counter efforts to improve mass transit, air quality, and urban design. The current proposal is based on the recommendations from the consultant group, which identified restaurant parking maximums as too low. The consultant recommended maximums of 5 stalls per 1,000 SF for the Transit and Urban Center contexts and 7 stalls per 1,000 SF in Neighborhood Center and General contexts. Potential Solution(s) • Reduce maximum parking allowed from 7 stalls per 1,000 SF to 5 stalls per 1,000 SF in Neighborhood Center context • Leave as proposed Table 21A.44.040-A: Minimum and Maximum Off-Street Parking DU= Dwelling Unit sq. ft.= Square Feet Minimum Parking Requirement Maximum Parking Allowed Use General Context Neighborhood Center Context Urban Center Context Transit Context All zoning districts not listed in another context area RB, SNB, CB, CN, R- MU-35, R-MU-45, SR- 3, FB-UN1, FB-SE D-2, MU, TSA-T, CSHBD1, CSHBD2 D-1, D-3, D-4, G- MU, TSA-C, UI, FB-UN2, FB-UN3, FB-SC, R-MU Restaurants/ Taverns/ Brewpub Indoor tasting/seating area: 2 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft.; Outdoor tasking/seating area: 2 spaces per 1,000 sq. ft.

ADA Parking Concern Raised by • City Council Summary of Outstanding Issues There is a concern that small parking lots will not be providing sufficient ADA compliant parking stalls. Under the current proposal, parking lots with four or fewer parking spaces are not required to identify an accessible parking space, however, if parking is provided, a minimum of one parking space will be required to comply with ADA standard dimensions. This is consistent with national ADA standards. Any business that provides goods or services to the public must make ADA accommodations. Potential Solution(s) • Lower the minimum number of parking spaces required before they are to be identified as and/or be ADA compliant • Leave as proposed Staff Recommendation • Leave as proposed Council Direction • Leave as proposed J. Effective Date Concern Raised by • City Council • Development Community Summary of Outstanding Issues Projects which may already be substantially designed at the time of adoption of the proposed ordinance may be significantly impacted by the proposed changes. Applicants would like a defined time frame in which they may design entirely to either the existing or proposed parking ordinance. Potential Solution(s) • Make ordinance effective on date of adoption • Allow a timeframe in which applicants can apply the current or proposed ordinance Staff Recommendation • Allow applicants to apply the current or proposed ordinance for the four-month period following the adoption of the proposed off-street parking ordinance. This would be based on complete applications submitted to either the Planning division or Building Services. Council Direction • Allow applicants to apply the current or proposed ordinance for the four-month period following the adoption of the proposed off-street parking ordinance. This would be based on complete applications submitted to either the Planning division or Building Services. K. Multi-Family Parking Maximums Concern Raised by • City Council Summary of Outstanding Issues There is concern that allowed maximum parking for multi-family uses may be too high, particularly for the Transit or Urban Center contexts. The proposed parking maximums were based on recommendations from the consultant and are lower than many “transit rich” U.S. cities. It was deemed unnecessary establish different maximums in each parking context, as higher land prices near transit would naturally ensure less land would be devoted to surface parking. The table below shows the maximum parking allowed in in the proposed ordinance: Table 21A.44.040-A: Minimum and Maximum Off-Street Parking DU= Dwelling Unit sq. ft.= Square Feet Minimum Parking Requirement Maximum Parking Allowed Use General Context Neighborhood Center Context Urban Center Context Transit Context All zoning districts not listed in another context area RB, SNB, CB, CN, R- MU-35, R-MU-45, SR- 3, FB-UN1, FB-SE D-2, MU, TSA-T, CSHBD1, CSHBD2 D-1, D-3, D-4, G- MU, TSA-C, UI, FB-UN2, FB-UN3, FB-SC, R-MU Multi-family Studio and 1 bedroom: 1 space per DU, 2+ bedrooms: 1.25 spaces per DU Studio and 1+ bedrooms: 1 space per DU Studio: No Minimum 1 bedroom: 0.5 space per DU 2+bedrooms: 1 space per DU No Minimum All Contexts: Studio & 1 bedroom: 2 spaces per DU 2+ bedrooms: 3 spaces per DU Potential Solution(s) • Reduce the maximum parking allowed for any, or all, parking contexts • Leave as proposed Staff Recommendation • Leave as proposed Council Direction • Leave as proposed L. Social Club Definition Concern Raised by • Planning Office Summary of Outstanding Issues The proposed ordinance lists “Social Club” as a use identified in Table 21A.44.040-A but is no longer a use defined elsewhere in Title 21A Zoning. This is merely a technicality that needs to be addressed. Potential Solution(s) • Remove “Social Club” as a use in Table 21A.44.040-A Staff Recommendation • Remove “Social Club” as a use in table 21A.44.040-A Council Direction • Remove “Social Club” as a use in table 21A.44.040-A M. Congregate Care Facilities Concern Raised by • Planning Office Summary of Outstanding Issues The proposed ordinance uses the term “Eleemosynary” as a land use in Table 21A.44.040-A but that term was changed to “Congregate Care Facility Small or Large (Ordinance 51 of 2020, November). This is merely a technicality that needs to be addressed. Potential Solution(s) • Replace “Eleemosynary” with “Congregate Care Facility (Small or Large)” as a use in Table 21A.44.040-A and the accompanying parking requirements of: Table 21A.44.040-A: Minimum and Maximum Off-Street Parking DU= Dwelling Unit sq. ft.= Square Feet Minimum Parking Requirement Maximum Parking Allowed Use General Context Neighborhood Center Context Urban Center Context Transit Context All zoning districts not listed in another context area RB, SNB, CB, CN, R- MU-35, R-MU-45, SR- 3, FB-UN1, FB-SE D-2, MU, TSA-T, CSHBD1, CSHBD2 D-1, D-3, D-4, G- MU, TSA-C, UI, FB-UN2, FB-UN3, FB-SC, R-MU Congregate Care Facility (large) 1 space for each family, plus 1 space for every 4 individual bedrooms, plus 1 space for every 2 support staff present during the busiest shift No Minimum All Contexts: 1 space for each bedroom plus 1 space for each support staff present during the busiest shift Congregate Care Facility (small) 3 spaces per facility and 1 space for every 2 support staff present during the busiest shift Staff Recommendation • Replace “Eleemosynary” with “Congregate Care Facility (Small or Large)” as a use in Table 21A.44.040-A and the accompanying parking requirements listed above. Council Direction • Replace “Eleemosynary” with “Congregate Care Facility (Small or Large)” as a use in Table 21A.44.040-A and the accompanying parking requirements listed above. N. Special Exception Language Concern Raised by • Planning Office Summary of Outstanding Issues Proposed language in the Parking ordinance that references the Special Exception process will need to be updated to be consistent with recent changes to Special Exceptions adopted by the City Council. The proposed parking ordinance includes language on two parking related modifications (21A.44.090.B) that were required to go through the Special Exception process at the time the ordinance was presented to the Planning Commission. Language in the proposed 21AA.44.090.B will need to be revised to be consistent with changes adopted by the City Council. Potential Solution(s) • Remove reference to Special Exception process in 21A.44.090.B. Ensure language is consistent with any revisions to Special Exceptions to be passed by Council. Staff Recommendation • Remove reference to Special Exception process in 21A.44.090.B. Ensure language is consistent with any revisions to Special Exceptions to be passed by Council. Council Direction • Remove reference to Special Exception process in 21A.44.090.B. Ensure language is consistent with any revisions to Special Exceptions to be passed by Council. 1 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE 1 No. _____ of 202_ 2 3 (An ordinance amending various sections of the Salt Lake City Code 4 pertaining to off street parking regulations) 5 6 An ordinance amending various sections of the Salt Lake City Code pursuant to Petition 7 No. PLNPCM2017-00753 pertaining to off street parking regulations. 8 WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 8, 9 2020 to consider a petition submitted by then-Mayor Jacqueline Biskupski (“Applicant”) 10 (Petition No. PLNPCM2017-00753) to amend portions of Chapters 18.80 (Buildings and 11 Construction: Parking Lot Construction); 20.56 (Subdivisions and Condominiums: 12 Condominiums); 21A.24 (Zoning: Residential Districts); 21A.26 (Zoning: Commercial 13 Districts); 21A.30 (Zoning: Downtown Districts); 21A.31 (Zoning: Gateway Districts); 21A.32 14 (Zoning: Special Purpose Districts); 21A.36 (Zoning: General Provisions); 21A.37 (Zoning: 15 Design Standards); 21A.38 (Zoning: Nonconforming Uses and Noncomplying Structures); 16 21A.40 (Zoning: Accessory Uses, Buildings and Structures); 21A.44 (Zoning: Off Street 17 Parking, Mobility and Loading); 21A.52 (Zoning: Special Exceptions); 21A.60 (Zoning: List of 18 Terms); and 21A.62 (Zoning: Definitions) of the Salt Lake City Code to modify regulations 19 pertaining to off street parking; and 20 WHEREAS, at its January 8, 2020 meeting, the planning commission voted in favor of 21 transmitting a positive recommendation to the Salt Lake City Council on said petition; and 22 WHEREAS, after a public hearing on this matter the city council has determined that 23 adopting this ordinance is in the city’s best interests. 24 NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah: 25 26 2 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT SECTION 1.

Amending the text of Salt Lake City Code Section 21A.26.078. That 304 Section 21A.26.078 of the Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Commercial Districts: TSA Transit 305 Station Area District) shall be, and hereby is amended to read as follows: 306 21A.26.078: TSA TRANSIT STATION AREA DISTRICT: 307 308 A. Purpose Statement: The purpose of the TSA Transit Station Area District is to provide an 309 environment for efficient and attractive transit and pedestrian oriented commercial, 310 residential and mixed use development around transit stations. Redevelopment, infill 311 development and increased development on underutilized parcels should include uses that 312 allow them to function as part of a walkable, Mmixed Uuse Ddistrict. Existing uses that 313 are complementary to the district, and economically and physically viable, should be 314 integrated into the form and function of a compact, mixed use pedestrian oriented 315 neighborhood. Each transit station is categorized into a station type. These typologies are 316 used to establish appropriate zoning regulations for similar station areas. Each station 317 area will typically have two (2) subsections: the core area and the transition area. Due to 318 the nature of the area around specific stations, the restrictions of Ooverlay Zzoning 319 Ddistricts, and the neighborhood vision, not all station areas are required to have a core 320 area and a transition area. 321 1. Core Area: The purpose of the core area is to provide areas for comparatively intense 322 land development with a mix of land uses incorporating the principles of sustainable, 323 11 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT transit oriented development and to enhance the area closest to a transit station as a 324 lively, people oriented place. The core area may mix ground floor retail, office, 325 commercial and residential space in order to activate the public realm. 326 2. Transition Area: The purpose of the transition area is to provide areas for a moderate 327 level of land development intensity that incorporates the principles of sustainable 328 transit oriented development. The transition area is intended to provide an important 329 support base to the core area and transit ridership as well as buffer surrounding 330 neighborhoods from the intensity of the core area. These areas reinforce the viability 331 of the core area and provide opportunities for a range of housing types at different 332 densities. Transition areas typically serve the surrounding neighborhood and include a 333 broad range of building forms that house a mix of compatible land uses. Commercial 334 uses may include office, retail, restaurant and other commercial land uses that are 335 necessary to create mixed use neighborhoods. 336 B. Station Area Types: A station area typology is the use of characteristics, such as building 337 types, mix of land use, transit service and street network to create generalizations about 338 an area that can be used to define a common vision for development of a transit station 339 area. Each typology recognizes the important difference among places and destinations 340 and takes into account the local context of a station and its surroundings. Refer to the 341 official Salt Lake City zoning map to determine the zoning of the land within each station 342 area. 343 1. Urban Center Station (TSA-UC): An urban center station contains the highest relative 344 intensity level and mix of uses. The type of station area is meant to support 345 Ddowntown Salt Lake and not compete with it in terms of building scale and use. 346 2. Urban Neighborhood Station (TSA-UN): An evolving and flexible development 347 pattern defines an urban neighborhood station area. Urban neighborhoods consist of 348 multilevel buildings that are generally lower scale than what is found in the urban 349 center station area. The desired mix of uses would include ground floor commercial 350 or office uses with the intent of creating a lively, active, and safe streetscape. 351 3. Mixed Use Employment Center Station (TSA-MUEC): A mixed use employment 352 station is an area with a high concentration of jobs that attract people from the entire 353 region. Buildings are often large scale in nature and may have large footprints. Land 354 uses that support the employment centers such as retail sales and service and 355 restaurants are located throughout the station area and should occupy ground floor 356 space in multi-story buildings oriented to the pedestrian and transit user. A mix of 357 housing types and sizes are appropriate to provide employees with the choice to live 358 close to where they work. Building types should trend toward more flexible building 359 types over time. Connectivity for all modes of travel is important due to the limited 360 street network. 361 4. Special Purpose Station (TSA-SP): The special purpose station is typically centered 362 on a specific land use or large scale regional activity. These areas are generally served 363 12 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT by a mix of transit options. Land uses such as restaurants and retail support the 364 dominant land use and attract people to the area. A mix of housing types and sizes are 365 appropriate in certain situations. Future development should be aimed at increasing 366 the overall intensity and frequency of use in the station area by adding a mix of uses 367 that can be arranged and designed to be compatible with the primary use. 368 C. Review Process: The review process for all new development and redevelopment within 369 the Transit Station Area Zoning District is based on the development score which is 370 generated by the “Transit Station Area Development Guidelines” hereby adopted by 371 reference. 372 1. The following types of development are required to go through this review process: 373 a. Any addition of one thousand (1,000) square feet or more that extend a street 374 facing building facade or are located to the side of a building and are visible from 375 a public space; or 376 b. Additions that increase the height of an existing building or change the existing 377 roofline; 378 c. Additions to the rear of buildings that are not adjacent to a public street, trail or 379 other public space are not required to obtain a development score but must 380 comply with all other applicable regulations. Signs, fences, accessory structures 381 and any other structure or addition not listed in this section are not required to 382 obtain a development score. 383 d. Single-family detached dwellings and two-family dwellings are not required to 384 obtain a development score. 385 2. Application process steps: 386 a. Presubmittal Conference: All applicants for development within the TSA Transit 387 Station Area Zoning District are required to attend a presubmittal conference with 388 the Pplanning Ddivision. The purpose of the presubmittal conference is to notify 389 the applicant of the goals of the station area plans, the standards in this section, 390 and the review and approval process. 391 b. Development Review Application: After a presubmittal conference, the developer 392 can submit a development review application. This application and all submittal 393 requirements will be used to determine the development score. The application 394 shall include a score sheet on which the development guidelines and their 395 assigned values are indicated and two (2) checklists: one for the applicant’s use 396 and one for the Pplanning Ddivision’s use. 397 c. Public Noticing: A notice of application for a development review shall be 398 provided in accordance with cChapter 21A.10 of this title. 399 13 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT d. Application Review: Table 21A.26.078.C.2.d of this sSubsection C summarizes 400 the application review process. All applications shall be processed as follows: 401 (1) Tier 1 Planning Commission Review: If a project is assigned a score less than 402 125 points, the project can only be approved by the Pplanning Ccommission 403 through the design review process in cChapter 21A.59 of this title. Once the 404 applicant receives written notice of their score, they will be given thirty (30) 405 days to notify the Pplanning Ddivision of their intention to proceed with the 406 project through the design review process or make necessary plan adjustments 407 to increase their development score to the minimum level in order to go 408 through an administrative review process. 409 (2) Tier 2 Administrative Review: The Pplanning Ddirector has the authority to 410 approve a project scoring 125 points or more without holding a public 411 hearing. The project shall be allowed to go through the standard building 412 permit process. A public hearing is not required because the project 413 incorporates adequate development guidelines or development incentives to 414 be deemed compliant with the vision for the station area. 415 416 TABLE 21A.26.078.C.2.d 417 APPLICATION REVIEW 418 Development Score Review Process 0 - 124 points Planning Ccommission design review process 125 or more points Administrative review 419 D. Development Score: The purpose of the development score is to allow flexibility for 420 designers while implementing the Ccity’s vision of the applicable station area plans and 421 the purpose of this zoning district. The development score measures the level of 422 compatibility between a proposed project and the station area plan. A “station area plan” 423 is a development, land use, urban design and place making policy document for the area 424 around a specific transit station. The development score is based on the development 425 guidelines and development incentives in the “Transit Station Area Development 426 Guidelines” book, hereby adopted by reference. The “Transit Station Area Development 427 Guidelines” shall be amended following the adopted procedures for zoning text 428 amendments in cChapter 21A.50, “Amendments”, of this title. 429 1. Formulating Tthe Score: The development score is formulated by calculating all of 430 the development guideline values for a particular project. Each design guideline and 431 incentive is given a value based on its importance. Some guidelines are considered 432 more important and carry a higher value than others. All other applicable zoning 433 regulations shall be complied with by all projects and are not calculated in the 434 development score. 435 14 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT 2. Project Review: A development score shall be assigned to all projects within the TSA 436 Transit Station Area Zoning District after a complete development review application 437 is submitted. The Pplanning Ddirector shall provide, in writing, a copy of the review 438 checklist and explanation of the outcome of the score to the applicant within thirty 439 (30) days of submitting a complete application. 440 3. Appeals: The development score may be appealed. All appeals of the development 441 score are heard by the Aappeals Hhearing Oofficer. In hearing the appeal, the 442 Aappeals Hhearing Oofficer shall hold a public hearing in accordance with 443 sSection 21A.10.030 of this title. In deciding the appeal, the Aappeals Hhearing 444 Oofficer shall base its decision on its interpretation of the development guidelines and 445 the development score. 446 4. Expiration: No development score shall be valid for a period longer than one year 447 unless a building permit has been issued or complete building plans have been 448 submitted to the Division of Building Services. 449 E.

Requirements: When located to the side of a building, the parking lot shall be: 634 (1) Set back a minimum of thirty feet (30’) from a property line adjacent to a 635 public street. The space between the parking lot and the property line adjacent 636 to a public street shall be landscaped or activated with outdoor dining, plazas 637 or similar feature. 638 (2) Screened with a landscaped hedge or wall that is at least thirty six inches (36”) 639 above grade and no taller than forty two inches (42”) above grade. 640 Landscaping berms are not permitted. 641 22 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT (3) The parking lot shall be no wider than what is required for two (2) rows 642 of parking and one (1) drive aisle as indicated in section 21A.44.020, table 643 21A.44.020 of this title. 644 b. One Driveway And Drive Aisle Per Street Frontage: Only one (1) driveway and 645 drive aisle is permitted per street frontage and the access point shall be located a 646 minimum of one hundred feet (100’) from the intersection of the front and corner 647 side property lines. If the front or corner side property line is less than one 648 hundred feet (100’) in length, then the drive approach shall be located within 649 twenty feet (20’) of the side or rear property line. 650 3. Surface Parking In The Transition Area: Surface parking lots in the transition area are 651 required to be located behind the principal building or to the side of a principal 652 building. 653 a. Requirements: When located to the side of a principal building, the parking lot 654 shall be: 655 (1) Set back so that no portion of the parking area other than the driveway is 656 closer to the street than the front wall setback of the building. In cases where 657 the front wall of the building is located within five feet (5’) of a property line 658 adjacent to a street, the parking lot shall be set back a minimum of eight feet 659 (8’). The space between the parking lot and the property line adjacent to a 660 street shall be landscaped or activated with outdoor dining, plazas or similar 661 feature. 662 (2) Screened with a landscaped hedge or wall that is at least thirty six inches (36”) 663 above grade and no taller than forty two inches (42”) above grade. 664 Landscaping berms are not permitted. 665 4. Walkways Through Parking Lots: Parking lots with more than fifteen (15) spaces 666 shall provide a pedestrian walkway through the parking lot to the primary building 667 entrance or a sidewalk providing access to a primary building entrance. One (1) 668 walkway must be provided for every three (3) drive aisles. Walkways shall be curb 669 separated from the parking areas and a minimum of five feet (5’) wide. Vehicles shall 670 not overhang the walkway. Parking lot landscaping requirements in chapter 21A.48 671 of this title shall be included on the side of the walkway. Where the walkway crosses 672 a drive aisle, a crosswalk that is clearly identified by a change in color, material, or 673 similar technique shall be used. 674 5. Other Applicable Standards: All other standards in chapter 21A.44, “Off 675 Street Parking, Mobility And Loading”, of this title shall apply. 676 677 IH. Conflicting Regulations: In cases where the regulations of this section conflict with 678 another section of this zoning ordinance, this section shall take precedence except in 679 23 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT situations where the conflict is related to the use of the property, in which case the more 680 restrictive regulation takes precedence. In station areas within an overlay district, the 681 overlay district shall take precedence. 682 JI. Developments Over Five Acres: 683 1. Intent: Large scale developments have the potential to function as a self-contained 684 mixed use neighborhood and could have both positive and negative impacts on 685 nearby properties. All developments over five (5) acres in size shall be designed and 686 planned to include a series of blocks and a network of public or private streets that 687 connects to the existing public streets in the area and to adjacent development and 688 neighborhoods. Buildings should be oriented to this street network. Regulating block 689 size is necessary to provide development sites that are oriented to the pedestrian while 690 accommodating other modes of transportation. A street network is required to ensure 691 adequate circulation for pedestrians, bicycles, automobiles and service vehicles 692 through the site, to adjacent sites and the public streets. 693 2. Application: These standards are in addition to all other applicable standards. In 694 situations where the standards in this section conflict with a standard in another 695 section, the standard in this section shall take precedence. A separate development 696 score is required for each new principal building in a development over five (5) acres. 697 a. Block Layout: The intent of regulating block size and dimension is to create a 698 development pattern where all principal buildings have their primary facades 699 facing a street, whether public or private. All developments over five (5) acres in 700 size shall be designed to include a series of blocks based on the standards below: 701 (1) The maximum perimeter dimension of any block shall be one thousand six 702 hundred feet (1,600’). The maximum length of any individual block face shall 703 be four hundred forty feet (440’). 704 (2) The maximum perimeter dimension of a block may be increased to two 705 thousand four hundred (2,400) linear feet, and the maximum length of any 706 block face increased to six hundred feet (600’) provided a mid block 707 pedestrian network is included. The mid block pedestrian network must be a 708 minimum of twenty feet (20’) wide and include pedestrian amenities such as 709 lighting, benches, and other similar features. The mid block walkway shall 710 connect to at least two (2) block faces or be extended to the property line to 711 allow for future extension. 712 b. Connectivity Tto Public Streets, Sidewalks, Aand Bicycle Lanes: In order to 713 ensure that the development will be fully integrated into the transit station area, 714 that safe and efficient travelways are provided, and to limit the impact on the 715 primary transit street and other adjacent streets, the internal circulation system, 716 including private streets, drive aisles, sidewalks and bicycle lanes shall connect to 717 the public street, sidewalks and bicycle lanes. All new streets shall be designed as 718 24 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT a “complete street” defined as a street that provides dedicated space for 719 pedestrians, bicyclists and automobiles. 720 c. Vehicle Access: Regulating access to private property from public streets is 721 necessary for integrating private development and public spaces. Limiting the 722 number of access points and spacing between access points reduces areas of 723 conflict between vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles. Maximum access widths 724 promote a development pattern that is oriented to pedestrians and bicyclists while 725 accommodating vehicles. 726 (1) Access points located on public streets intended for vehicles shall be spaced a 727 minimum of one hundred feet (100’) apart. 728 (2) No property shall have more than one (1) vehicle access point for every two 729 hundred (200) linear feet of frontage on a public street. 730 (3) No access drive shall be greater than twenty four feet (24’) wide. 731 (4) The location of all vehicle access points is subject to approval from the 732 Ttransportation Ddivision of the Ccity. The standards of this section may be 733 modified by the Transportation Division when, in the opinion of the Ddirector 734 of the Ttransportation Ddivision, a different design would improve the overall 735 safety for all modes of transportation or improve the efficiency of the 736 transportation network. 737 d. Internal Circulation: Internal circulation systems allow for vehicles, pedestrians 738 and bicyclists to move safely and efficiently throughout a development site.

Such impacts may interfere with the use and enjoyment of adjacent property 1147 and uses. Site plan review is a process designed to address such adverse impacts and 1148 minimize them where possible. The design may also be evaluated to address elements of 1149 urban design. 1150 1151 Site plan review, pursuant to cChapter 21A.58 of this title, for all of the Gateway 1152 Ddistricts, is required to protect the local economy, maintain safe traffic conditions, 1153 maintain the environment, and assure harmonious land-use relationships between 1154 commercial uses and more sensitive land uses in affected areas. 1155 1156 Design evaluation is necessary to implement the policies of the urban design plan as 1157 adopted by the Ccity Ccouncil. Design review shall apply to conditional uses in the 1158 Gateway Ddistrict. In the Gateway Ddistrict, the design review process is used to 1159 evaluate and resolve urban design. 1160 F. Mid Block Walkways: As a part of the Ccity’s plan for the downtown area, it is intended 1161 that mid block walkways be provided to facilitate pedestrian movement within the area. 1162 To delineate the public need for such walkways, the Ccity has formulated an official plan 1163 for their location and implementation, which is on file at the Pplanning Ddivision 1164 Ooffice. All buildings constructed after the effective date hereof within the G-MU 1165 Gateway-Mixed Use District shall conform to this plan for mid block walkways. 1166 G. Location Oof Service Areas: All loading docks and other service activities shall be 1167 located on block interiors away from view of any public street. Exceptions to this 1168 requirement may be approved through the site plan review process when a permit 1169 applicant demonstrates that it is not feasible to accommodate these activities on the block 1170 interior. If such activities are permitted adjacent to a public street, a visual screening 1171 design approved by the Zzoning Aadministrator shall be required. 1172 H.

Such conditional uses shall also be subject to urban design evaluation. 1206 IH. Impact Controls Aand General Restrictions: 1207 1. Refuse Control: Refuse containers must be covered and shall be stored within 1208 completely enclosed buildings or screened in conformance with the requirements of 1209 cChapter 21A.48 of this title. For buildings existing as of April 12, 1995, this 1210 screening provision shall be required if the floor area or parking requirements are 1211 38 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT increased by twenty five percent (25%) or more by an expansion to the building or 1212 change in the type of land use. 1213 2. Lighting: On site lighting, including parking lot lighting and illuminated signs, shall 1214 be located, directed or designed in a manner to prevent glare on adjacent properties. 1215 JI. Outdoor Sales, Display Aand Storage: “Sales and display (outdoor)” and “storage and 1216 display (outdoor)”, as defined in cChapter 21A.62 of this title, are allowed where 1217 specifically authorized in sSection 21A.33.060, “Table Oof Permitted Aand Conditional 1218 Uses Iin Tthe Gateway District”, of this title. These uses shall conform to the following: 1219 1.

Affordable housing units within a market rate development shall be integrated 1242 throughout the project in an architectural manner. 1243 39 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT ON. Accessory Uses, Buildings Aand Structures: Accessory uses and structures are permitted 1244 in the Gateway Ddistrict subject to the requirements of this chapter, cChapter 21A.36, 1245 sSubsection 21A.36.020.B, sSection 21A.36.030, and cChapter 21A.40 of this title. 1246 PO. Urban Design: The urban design standards are intended to foster the creation of a rich 1247 urban environment that accommodates growth and is compatible with existing buildings 1248 and uses in the area. All general development and site plans shall be designed to 1249 complement the surrounding existing contiguous (historic) development. The following 1250 design standards will provide human scale through change, contrast, intricacy, color and 1251 materials where the lower levels of buildings face public streets and sidewalks. They will 1252 also spatially define the street space in order to concentrate pedestrian activity, create a 1253 clear urban character and promote visibility of commercial activities at the ground level. 1254 The standards will also encourage diversity through the use of building forms and 1255 materials, while respecting the patterns, styles and methods of construction traditionally 1256 used in the gateway area. 1257 1258 The following urban design standards will be reviewed as part of the site plan review 1259 process, with assistance from Pplanning Ddivision staff as necessary: 1260 1. Architectural Character Aand Materials: 1261 a. A differentiated base (on a building over 45 feet high) will provide human scale 1262 through change, contrast, and intricacy in facade form, color and/or material 1263 where the lower levels of the building face the sidewalk(s) and street(s). Scaling 1264 elements such as insets and projections serve to break up flat or monotonous 1265 facades, and respond to older nearby buildings. Therefore, all buildings in the 1266 Gateway Ddistricts are subject to the following standards: 1267 (1) All buildings over forty five feet (45’) in height shall be designed with a base 1268 that is differentiated from the remainder of the building. The base shall be 1269 between one and three (3) stories in height, be visible from pedestrian view, 1270 and appropriately scaled to the surrounding contiguous historic buildings. The 1271 base shall include fenestration that distinguishes the lower from upper floors. 1272 Insets and/or projections are encouraged. 1273 (2) All new buildings in the Gateway Ddistrict shall have a minimum of seventy 1274 percent (70%) of the exterior material (excluding windows) be brick, 1275 masonry, textured or patterned concrete and/or cut stone. With the exception 1276 of minor building elements (e.g., soffit, fascia) the following materials are 1277 allowed only through the design review process: EIFS, tilt-up concrete panels, 1278 corrugated metal, vinyl and aluminum siding, and other materials. 1279 (3) All buildings which have been altered over seventy five percent (75%) on the 1280 exterior facade shall comply with the exterior material requirement for new 1281 construction. Buildings older than fifty (50) years are exempt from this 1282 requirement if alterations are consistent with the existing architecture. 1283 40 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT (4) Two-dimensional curtain wall veneer of glass, spandrel glass or metal as a 1284 primary building material is prohibited. The fenestration of all new 1285 construction shall be three-dimensional (e.g., recessed windows, protruding 1286 cornice, etc.). 1287 b. The climate in Salt Lake City is such that in the summer months shade is 1288 preferred, and in the winter months protection from snow is preferred. By 1289 providing the pedestrian with a sidewalk that is enjoyable to use year round, a 1290 pedestrian oriented neighborhood is encouraged. Therefore, new construction in 1291 the gateway area is subject to the following standards: 1292 (1) Arcades are permitted in the Gateway Ddistrict, but where an arcade extends 1293 over the public way, a revocable permit is required. Where an arcade is on 1294 private property facing the street, the maximum setback for the building shall 1295 be measured to the supporting beams for the arcade or the facade of the upper 1296 floors, not the facade of the arcade level. 1297 (2) Awnings and/or marquees, with or without signage, are required over entry 1298 doors which are set back from the property line and may be allowed, under 1299 revocable permit, when an entry is at a property line. 1300 (3) Awnings, with or without signage, are permitted over ground level windows. 1301 Where awnings extend out over the public way, a revocable permit is 1302 required. 1303 2. Windows Aand Building Fenestration: 1304 a. Buildings whose exteriors are smooth, and do not provide any three-dimensional 1305 details or fenestration are not appropriate in the Gateway Ddistrict. Recessed 1306 windows will eliminate flat, sterile elevations. Highly reflective materials are 1307 distracting, and focus attention away from the positive qualities of the Gateway 1308 Ddistrict. Therefore, all buildings in the Gateway Ddistricts are subject to the 1309 following standards: 1310 (1) Buildings with completely smooth exterior surfaces shall not be permitted, all 1311 new construction shall have three-dimensional details on the exterior that 1312 includes cornices, windowsills, headers and similar features. 1313 (2) All windows shall be recessed from the exterior wall a minimum of three 1314 inches (3”). Bay windows, projecting windows, and balcony doors are exempt 1315 from this requirement. 1316 (3) The reflectivity of the glass used in the windows shall be limited to eighteen 1317 percent (18%) as defined by the ASTA standard. 1318 3. Entrance Aand Visual Access: 1319 41 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT a. The intent in the Gateway Ddistrict is to encourage pedestrian activity between 1320 the public street/sidewalk and buildings. Sidewalks shall provide continuous, 1321 uninterrupted interest to the pedestrian by providing visual interest and/or 1322 amenities. The gateway environment will benefit with increased pedestrian 1323 activity; this activity will only occur if opportunities are provided that make 1324 walking to a destination a preferred and an enjoyable pursuit. The use of blank 1325 building facade walls is discouraged. Therefore, all buildings in the gateway area 1326 are subject to the following standards: 1327 (1) Minimum First Floor Glass: The first floor elevation facing a street of all new 1328 buildings or buildings in which the property owner is modifying the size of 1329 windows on the front facade within the Gateway Ddistrict shall not have less 1330 than forty percent (40%) glass surfaces. All first floor glass shall be 1331 nonreflective. Display windows that are three-dimensional and are at least two 1332 feet (2’) deep are permitted and may be counted toward the forty percent 1333 (40%) glass requirement. Exceptions to this requirement may be authorized 1334 through the design review process, subject to the requirements of cChapter 1335 21A.59 of this title, and the review and approval of the Pplanning 1336 Ccommission. The Pplanning Ddirector may approve a modification to this 1337 requirement if the Pplanning Ddirector finds: 1338 (A) The requirement would negatively impact the historic character of the 1339 building, or 1340 (B) The requirement would negatively impact the structural stability of the 1341 building. 1342 (C) The ground level of the building is occupied by residential uses, in which 1343 case the forty percent (40%) glass requirement may be reduced to twenty 1344 five percent (25%). 1345 1346 Appeal of administrative decision is to the Pplanning Ccommission. 1347 (2) Facades: Provide at least one operable building entrance per elevation that 1348 faces a public street. Buildings that face multiple streets are only required to 1349 have one door on either street, if the facades for both streets meet the forty 1350 percent (40%) glass requirement. 1351 (3) Maximum Length: The maximum length of any blank wall uninterrupted by 1352 windows, doors, art or architectural detailing at the first floor level shall be 1353 fifteen feet (15’). 1354 (4) Screening: All building equipment and service areas, including on-grade and 1355 roof mechanical equipment and transformers that are readily visible from the 1356 public right-of-way, shall be screened from public view. These elements shall 1357 42 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT be sited to minimize their visibility and impact, or enclosed as to appear to be 1358 an integral part of the architectural design of the building. 1359 4. Building Lines Aand Front Area Requirements: 1360 a. A continuity of building frontage adjacent and parallel to the street encourages a 1361 more active involvement between building uses and pedestrians. Leftover or 1362 ambiguous open space that has no apparent use or sense of place will not 1363 contribute positively to an active street life. Therefore, all buildings in the 1364 Gateway Ddistrict are subject to the following standard: 1365 (1) The majority of the ground level facade of a building shall be placed parallel, 1366 and not at an angle, to the street. 1367 5. Public Amenities Aand Public Art: 1368 a. Amenities and works of art enhance quality of life as well as visual interest. 1369 Public amenities and public art encourage pedestrian activity and contribute to the 1370 pedestrian experience. A cohesive, unified lighting and amenity policy will help 1371 give the Gateway Ddistrict its own distinctive identity. Therefore, public 1372 amenities and public art are subject to the following standards: 1373 (1) Sidewalks and street lamps installed in the public right-of-way shall be of the 1374 type specified in the sidewalk/street lighting policy document. 1375 (2) Public art (which may include artists’ work integrated into the design of the 1376 building and landscaping, sculpture, painting, murals, glass, mixed media or 1377 work by artisans), that is accessible or directly viewable to the general public 1378 shall be included in all projects requiring design review approval for a site or 1379 design standard. The plan to incorporate public art shall be reviewed by the 1380 Salt Lake Art Design Board. 1381 6. Design Review Approval: A modification to the urban design provisions of this 1382 section may be granted through the design review process, subject to conformance 1383 with the standards and procedures of cChapter 21A.59 of this title. 1384 QP.

The parking is compatible with the architecture/design of the original structure or 1568 the surrounding architecture. 1569 b. The parking is not part of a series of incremental additions intended to subvert the 1570 intent of the ordinance. 1571 c. The horizontal landscaping is replaced with vertical screening in the form of 1572 berms, plant materials, architectural features, fencing and/or other forms of 1573 screening. 1574 48 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT d. The landscaped setback is consistent with the surrounding neighborhood 1575 character. 1576 e. The overall project is consistent with section 21A.59.050 of this title. 1577 1578 Appeal of administrative decision is to the Planning Commission. 1579 1580 SECTION 17. Amending the text of Salt Lake City Code Subsection 21A.36.161.B.13. 1581 That Subsection 21A.36.161.B.13 of the Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: General Provisions: 1582 Mobile Food Courts: Qualifying Provisions) shall be, and hereby is amended to read as follows: 1583 13. Parking for a mobile food court is required at a ratio of two (2) stalls per mobile food 1584 business. This requirement may be waived by the Planning Commission as part of the 1585 conditional use process. No additional parking is required in the D-1, D-2, D-3, D-4, 1586 G-MU, CSHBD1, CSHBD2, R-MU, R-MU-35, R-MU-45, MU, G-MU and TSA 1587 Zones. Hard surface paving at the vehicular entrance to the mobile food court, and for 1588 each individual mobile food business is required. Alternatives to asphalt and cement 1589 may be approved as part of the conditional use process if the applicant is able to 1590 demonstrate that the alternative will not result in the accumulation of mud or debris 1591 on the Ccity right-of-way. 1592 1593 SECTION 18. Amending the text of Salt Lake City Code Subsection 21A.36.200.I. That 1594 Subsection 21A.36.200.I of the Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: General Provisions: Qualifying 1595 Provisions for an Urban Farm: Parking) shall be, and hereby is amended to read as follows: 1596 I. Parking: Unless otherwise approved by the transportation division, parking for 1597 employees, and patrons of the urban farm shall be provided on site, at a rate of two 1598 (2) parking stalls per acre with a minimum of one ADA stall, unless within a single-1599 family or two-family zoning district. Parking for an urban farm shall comply with the 1600 provisions governing off street parking and loading in Chapter 21A.44 of this title. All 1601 vehicular circulation, staging, and parking shall be on a hard surface. 1602 1603 SECTION 19. Amending the text of Salt Lake City Code Section 21A.37.050. That 1604 Section 21A.37.050 of the Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Design Standards: Design Standards 1605 Defined) shall be, and hereby is amended to read as follows: 1606 21A.37.050: DESIGN STANDARDS DEFINED: 1607 49 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT 1608 The design standards in this chapter are defined as follows. Each design standard includes a 1609 specific definition of the standard and may include a graphic that is intended to help further 1610 explain the standard, however the definition supersedes any conflict between it and a graphic. 1611 1612 A. Ground Floor Use Aand Visual Interest: This standard’s purpose is to increase the 1613 amount of active uses and/or visual interest on the ground floor of a building. There are 1614 two (2) options for achieving this, one dealing solely with the amount of ground floor 1615 use, and the other combining a lesser amount of ground floor use with increased visual 1616 interest in the building facade’s design. 1617 1. Ground Floor Use Only: This option requires that on the ground floor of a new 1618 principal building, a permitted or conditional use other than parking shall occupy a 1619 minimum portion of the length of any street facing building facade according to 1620 sSection 21A.37.060, tTable 21A.37.060 of this chapter. All portions of such ground 1621 floor spaces shall extend a minimum of twenty five feet (25’) into the building. 1622 Parking may be located behind these spaces. 1623 a. For single-family attached uses, the required use depth may be reduced to ten feet 1624 (10’). 1625 b. For single-family or two-family uses, garages occupying up to fifty percent (50%) 1626 of the width of the ground floor building facade are exempt from this requirement. 1627 c. For all other uses, vehicle entry and exit ways necessary for access to parking are 1628 exempt from this requirement. Such accessways shall not exceed thirty feet (30’) 1629 in width. Individual dwelling unit garages do not qualify for this exemption. 1630 2. Ground Floor Use Aand Visual Interest: This option allows for some flexibility in the 1631 amount of required ground floor use, but in return requires additional design 1632 requirements for the purpose of creating increased visual interest and pedestrian 1633 activity where the lower levels of buildings face streets or sidewalks. An applicant 1634 utilizing this option must proceed through the design review process for review of the 1635 project for determination of the project’s compliance with those standards, and in 1636 addition, whether it contributes to increased visual interest through a combination of 1637 increased building material variety, architectural features, facade changes, art, and 1638 colors; and, increased pedestrian activity through permeability between the building 1639 and the adjacent public realm using niches, bays, gateways, porches, colonnades, 1640 stairs or other similar features to facilitate pedestrian interaction with the building. 1641 B. Building Materials: 1642 1. Ground Floor Building Materials: Other than windows and doors, a minimum amount 1643 of the ground floor facade’s wall area of any street facing facade shall be clad in 1644 durable materials according to sSection 21A.37.060, tTable 21A.37.060 of this 1645 chapter. Durable materials include stone, brick, masonry, textured or patterned 1646 50 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT concrete, and fiber cement board. Other materials may be used for the remainder of 1647 the ground floor facade adjacent to a street. Other materials proposed to satisfy the 1648 durable requirement may be approved at the discretion of the Pplanning Ddirector if it 1649 is found that the proposed material is durable and is appropriate for the ground floor 1650 of a structure. 1651 2. Upper Floor Building Materials: Floors above the ground floor level shall include 1652 durable materials on a minimum amount of any street facing building facade of those 1653 additional floors according to sSection 21A.37.060, tTable 21A.37.060 of this 1654 chapter. Windows and doors are not included in that minimum amount. Durable 1655 materials include stone, brick, masonry, textured or patterned concrete, and fiber 1656 cement board. Other materials may be approved at the discretion of the Pplanning 1657 Ddirector if it is found that the proposed material is durable and is appropriate for the 1658 upper floor of a structure. 1659 C. Glass: 1660 1. Ground Floor Glass: The ground floor building elevation of all new buildings facing a 1661 street, and all new ground floor additions facing a street, shall have a minimum 1662 amount of glass, or within a specified percentage range, between three feet (3’) and 1663 eight feet (8’) above grade according to sSection 21A.37.060, tTable 21A.37.060 of 1664 this chapter. All ground floor glass shall allow unhampered and unobstructed 1665 visibility into the building for a depth of at least five feet (5’), excluding any glass 1666 etching and window signs when installed and permitted in accordance with cChapter 1667 21A.46, “Signs”, of this title. The Pplanning Ddirector may approve a modification to 1668 ground floor glass requirements if the Pplanning Ddirector finds: 1669 a. The requirement would negatively affect the historic character of an existing 1670 building; 1671 b. The requirement would negatively affect the structural stability of an existing 1672 building; or 1673 c. The ground level of the building is occupied by residential uses that face the 1674 street, in which case the specified minimum glass requirement may be reduced by 1675 fifteen percent (15%). 1676 2. Upper Floor Glass: Above the first floor of any multi-story building, the surface area 1677 of the facade of each floor facing a street must contain a minimum amount of glass 1678 according to sSection 21A.37.060, tTable 21A.37.060 of this chapter. 1679 D. Building Entrances: At least one operable building entrance on the ground floor is 1680 required for every street facing facade. Additional operable building entrances shall be 1681 required, at a minimum, at each specified length of street facing building facade 1682 according to sSection 21A.37.060, tTable 21A.37.060 of this chapter.

The space 1703 between buildings shall include a pedestrian walkway at least five feet (5’) wide. 1704 G. Upper Floor Step Back: 1705 1. For street facing facades the first full floor, and all additional floors, above thirty feet 1706 (30’) in height from average finished grade shall be stepped back a minimum 1707 horizontal distance from the front line of building, according to sSection 21A.37.060, 1708 tTable 21A.37.060 of this chapter. An alternative to this street facing facade step back 1709 requirement may be utilized for buildings limited to forty five feet (45’) or less in 1710 height by the zoning ordinance: those buildings may provide a four foot (4’) 1711 minimum depth canopy, roof structure, or balcony that extends from the face of the 1712 building toward the street at a height of between twelve feet (12’) and fifteen feet 1713 (15’) above the adjacent sidewalk. Such extension(s) shall extend horizontally 1714 parallel to the street for a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the face of the building 1715 and may encroach into a setback as permitted per sSection 21A.36.020, tTable 1716 21A.36.020.B, “Obstructions Iin Required Yards”, of this title. 1717 2. For facades facing single- or two-family residential districts, a public trail or public 1718 open space the first full floor, and all additional floors, above thirty feet (30’) in 1719 height from average finished grade shall be stepped back a minimum horizontal 1720 distance from the corresponding required yard setback (building line) according to 1721 sSection 21A.37.060, tTable 21A.37.060 of this chapter. 1722 H. Exterior Lighting: All exterior lighting shall be shielded and directed down to prevent 1723 light trespass onto adjacent properties. Exterior lighting shall not strobe, flash or flicker. 1724 52 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT I. Parking Lot Lighting: If a parking lot/structure is adjacent to a residential zoning district 1725 or land use, any poles for the parking lot/structure security lighting are limited to sixteen 1726 feet (16’) in height and the globe must be shielded and the lighting directed down to 1727 minimize light encroachment onto adjacent residential properties or into upper level 1728 residential units in multi-story buildings. Lightproof fencing is required adjacent to 1729 residential properties. 1730 J. Screening Oof Mechanical Equipment: All mechanical equipment for a building shall be 1731 screened from public view and sited to minimize their visibility and impact. Examples of 1732 siting include on the roof, enclosed or otherwise integrated into the architectural design of 1733 the building, or in a rear or side yard area subject to yard location restrictions found in 1734 sSection 21A.36.020, tTable 21A.36.020.B, “Obstructions Iin Required Yards”, of this 1735 title. 1736 K. Screening Oof Service Areas: Service areas, loading docks, refuse containers and similar 1737 areas shall be fully screened from public view.

Ground Floor Residential Entrances Ffor Single-Family Dwellings: For the zoning 1746 districts listed in sSection 21A.37.060, tTable 21A.37.060 of this chapter all attached 1747 single-family dwellings, townhomes, row houses, and other similar single-family housing 1748 types located on the ground floor shall have a primary entrance facing the street for each 1749 unit adjacent to a street. Units may have a primary entrance located on a courtyard, mid 1750 block walkway, or other similar area if the street facing facades also have a primary 1751 entrance. 1752 1753 M. Parking Garages Or Structures: The following standards shall apply to parking garages or 1754 structures whether stand alone or incorporated into a building: 1755 1. Parking structures shall have an external skin designed to improve visual character 1756 when adjacent to a public street or other public space. Examples include heavy gauge 1757 metal screen, precast concrete panels; live green or landscaped walls, laminated or 1758 safety glass, decorative photovoltaic panels or match the building materials and 1759 character of the principal use. The planning director may approve other decorative 1760 materials not listed if the materials are in keeping with the decorative nature of the 1761 parking structure. 1762 53 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT 2. The architectural design of the facades should express the internal function of the 1763 structure. Facade elements shall align to parking levels and there shall be no sloped 1764 surfaces visible from a public street, public trail or public open space. 1765 3.

The 2263 existence of a fence or other structure which is not part of a building shall not 2264 constitute a lack of rear yard access. Topographical factors, the existence of 2265 mature trees or the existence of properly permitted and constructed structures 2266 precluding rear yard parking is sufficient to establish a lack of rear yard 2267 access. 2268 2269 (4) Side yard parking shall only be permitted subject to the following conditions: 2270 73 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT 2271 (A) The parking area for the recreational vehicle must be a hard surface of 2272 either concrete, asphalt, or turf block; 2273 2274 (B) The recreational vehicle parking space shall not interfere with access to 2275 other required parking for the structure; 2276 2277 (C) Access to the recreational vehicle parking from the existing driveway on 2278 the property shall have an access taper from the existing driveway and be 2279 hard surfaced; 2280 2281 (D) The access or transition area from the existing driveway to the 2282 recreational vehicle parking space shall not be used for any parking; 2283 2284 (E) The recreational vehicle parking space shall be screened from the front 2285 or street side at the setback line of the existing principal building with a 2286 six foot (6’) high sightproof fence with a gate for access; and 2287 2288 (F) The recreational vehicle parking space shall be screened on the side yard 2289 with a six foot (6’) high sightproof fence or equivalent vertical 2290 vegetation. 2291 2292 (5) No parked recreational vehicle shall be used for storage of goods, materials or 2293 equipment other than those which are customarily associated with the 2294 recreational vehicle. 2295 2296 (6) All recreational vehicles must be stored in a safe and secure manner.

When determination of the number of off street parking spaces required by this 2322 title results in a requirement of a fractional space, any fraction of less than one-2323 half (1/2) may be disregarded, while a fraction of one-half (1/2) or more, shall be 2324 counted as one parking space. 2325 2326 c. Parking spaces designed exclusively for motorcycles, scooters and other two (2) 2327 wheeled automobiles shall not count toward the required number of parking 2328 spaces. 2329 2330 d. Parking spaces intended for storage of business related vehicles, such as fleet 2331 vehicles or delivery vehicles in commercial, manufacturing and special purposes 2332 districts, shall not count toward the required number of parking spaces. 2333 2334 B. Determination Of Required Number Of Parking Spaces For Uses Not Specified Herein: 2335 In the event this title does not specify the number of parking spaces for a specific use, the 2336 Zoning Administrator shall determine the number of spaces required.

Purpose And Scope: The number of required off street parking spaces may be met via 2430 alternative means or reduced in some circumstances. Alternatives and reductions help 2431 prevent land from being devoted unnecessarily to parking spaces when other parking 2432 solutions respond better to the parking needs of the use of the property, the enjoyment of 2433 neighboring property rights and the general neighborhood compatibility. These options 2434 are intended to allow satisfying a portion of parking requirements by means other than on 2435 site parking or by reducing the number of required parking spaces when there is 2436 80 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT documentation that actual parking demand is less than the number required by 2437 section 21A.44.030, table 21A.44.030 of this chapter. 2438 2439 B. Permitted Parking Alternatives And Reductions: 2440 2441 1. Shared Parking: Where multiple uses share the same off street parking facilities, 2442 reduced total demand for parking spaces may result due to differences in parking 2443 demand for each use during the course of the day. The following schedule of shared 2444 parking is provided indicating how shared parking for certain uses can be used to 2445 reduce the total parking required for shared parking facilities: 2446 2447 TABLE 21A.44.040B 2448 SCHEDULE OF SHARED PARKING 2449 2450 General Land Use Classification Weekdays Weekends Midnight - 7:00 A.M. 7:00 A.M. - 6:00 P.M. 6:00 P.M. - Midnight Midnight - 7:00 A.M. 7:00 A.M. - 6:00 P.M. 6:00 P.M. - Midnight College and university 0% 100% 50% 5% 50% 50% Community centers 0% 30% 75% 0% 100% 80% Hotel 100% 65% 100% 100% 65% 100% Office and industrial 5% 100% 5% 0% 5% 0% Place of worship 0% 30% 50% 0% 100% 75% Residential 100% 50% 80% 100% 75% 75% Restaurant 10% 70% 100% 25% 50% 100% Retail/service 0% 100% 80% 0% 100% 75% Schools, elementary and secondary 5% 100% 75% 0% 25% 10% Theater/ entertainment 5% 40% 100% 5% 75% 100% 2451 a. Determining The Total Requirements For Shared Parking Facilities: For each 2452 applicable general land use category, calculate the number of spaces required for 2453 a use if it were the only use (refer to section 21A.44.030, table 21A.44.030 of this 2454 chapter). Use those figures for each land use to calculate the number of spaces 2455 required for each time period for each use (6 time periods per use). For each time 2456 period, add the number of spaces required for all applicable land uses to obtain a 2457 grand total for each of the six (6) time periods. Select the time period with the 2458 highest total parking requirement and use that total as the shared parking 2459 requirement. 2460 2461 b. Location For Shared Parking: Shared parking spaces must be within five hundred 2462 feet (500’) of the primary entrance of all uses served unless remote parking 2463 shuttle bus service is provided. 2464 2465 c. Agreement For Shared Parking: A shared parking plan will be enforced through 2466 written agreement among all owners of record. An attested copy of the agreement 2467 between the owners of record must be submitted to the Zoning Administrator and 2468 81 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT it must be recorded by the applicant in a form established by the City Attorney. If 2469 building permits are required for the development, recordation of the agreement 2470 must take place before building permit issuance for any use utilizing the shared 2471 parking. A shared parking agreement may be revoked only if all required off 2472 street parking spaces will be provided in accordance with section 21A.44.030 of 2473 this chapter. 2474 2475 2. Off Site Valet Parking: The zoning administrator may approve valet parking as a 2476 means of satisfying otherwise applicable off street parking requirements as required 2477 by section 21A.44.030 of this chapter if: 2478 2479 a. Adequate assurances are provided attesting to the continued operation of the valet 2480 parking, such as a long term contract with a provider or a contract for lease of off 2481 site parking spaces; 2482 2483 b. The design of the valet parking does not cause customers who do not use the valet 2484 services to park off the premises or cause queuing in the right of way; and 2485 2486 c. The valet parking service is conspicuously posted outside the establishment and 2487 near the main entrance. 2488 2489 3. Modification Of Parking Geometries: The zoning administrator may authorize 2490 parking geometry configurations other than those normally required by city code or 2491 policy if such parking geometries have been approved, and the reasons therefor 2492 explained in writing, by the city transportation director. In no case shall parking 2493 geometry modifications be allowed if they would in any way impact spaces 2494 designated for person with disabilities. 2495 2496 4. Use Of Excess Parking In Park And Ride Lots: Park and ride lots that are not used to 2497 capacity may be used for a new development’s required parking provided that the lot 2498 is within one thousand feet (1,000’) of the development and the applicant can 2499 demonstrate to the zoning administrator’s satisfaction that the lot is underutilized and 2500 that use of the excess parking spaces will not interfere with the park and ride use of 2501 the lot. An agreement between the property owners of the development and the park 2502 and ride lot is required and a copy of the agreement shall be submitted to the zoning 2503 administrator and recorded by the applicant in a form established by the city attorney. 2504 2505 5. Off Site Parking Facilities: Off site parking facilities under shared ownership or 2506 through a lease agreement may, in districts where they are specifically allowed as 2507 permitted or conditional uses, be used to satisfy the requirements of this title for off 2508 street parking, subject to the following requirements: 2509 2510 a.

Lots created prior to April 12,1995 that are less than five thousand 3121 (5,000) square feet in lot area, except those being used for single-3122 family, two-family, and twin home dwelling uses; 3123 3124 b. Expansions or enlargements that increase the square footage of usable 3125 floor area of an existing structure or parking requirements for the use by 3126 twenty-five percent (25%) or less, provided that existing off street 3127 parking and loading areas are not removed. 3128 3129 B. Location and Design: Section 21A.44.060, “Parking Location and Design“, shall 3130 apply to all vehicle parking, bicycle parking, loading, and drive-through facilities, 3131 regardless of whether the project is subject to the requirements for additional 3132 parking spaces or other facilities pursuant to Subsection 21A.44.020.A above. 3133 Parking garages are subject to design standards found in Subsection 3134 21A.44.060.A.16 and specific requirements of other zoning districts found in 3135 101 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT Subsection 21A.44.060.B. 3136 3137 3138 21A.44.030: CALCULATION OF PARKING: 3139 3140 A. Generally: 3141 3142 1. All parking and loading requirements that are based on square footage shall be 3143 calculated on the basis of usable floor area of the subject use, unless otherwise 3144 specified in Table 21A.44.040-A, “Minimum and Maximum Off Street 3145 Parking“. 3146 3147 2. Parking spaces shall not be counted more than once for required off-site, 3148 shared, and/or alternative parking plans, except where the development 3149 complies with off-site, shared, and/or alternative parking standards. 3150 3151 3. Parking spaces designed or designated exclusively for motorcycles, scooters, 3152 and other two wheeled vehicles shall not count toward the number of 3153 minimum required or maximum allowed off street parking spaces. 3154 3155 4. Parking spaces intended for storage of business vehicles, such as fleet 3156 vehicles, delivery vehicles, or vehicles on display associated with sales or 3157 rental shall not count toward the number of minimum required or 3158 maximum allowed off street parking spaces unless otherwise stated in 3159 Table 21A.44.040-A, “Minimum and Maximum Off Street Parking“. 3160 3161 5. Parking spaces designed or designated exclusively for recreational vehicles 3162 shall not count toward the number of minimum required or maximum 3163 allowed off street parking spaces. 3164 3165 6. When calculations of the number of required off street parking spaces for 3166 vehicles or bicycles result in a fractional number, any fraction of 0.5 or larger 3167 shall be rounded up to the next higher whole number. Calculations for more 3168 than one use in a project shall be calculated for each individual use and may be 3169 rounded individually and added, or added then rounded as determined by the 3170 applicant. 3171 3172 7. Lots containing more than one (1) use may provide parking and loading based 3173 on the shared parking calculations in Subsection 21A.44.050.B, “Shared 3174 Parking”. 3175 3176 B. Unlisted Uses: For uses not listed in Table 21A.44.040-A, “Minimum and 3177 Maximum Off Street Parking” the planning director is authorized to do any of 3178 the following: 3179 3180 1. Apply the minimum or maximum off street parking space requirement 3181 specified in Table 21A.44.040-A, “Minimum and Maximum Off Street 3182 102 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT Parking“, for the listed use that is deemed most similar to the proposed use as 3183 determined by the planning director based on operating characteristics, the 3184 most similar related occupancy classification, or other factors related to 3185 potential parking demand determined by the director. 3186 3187 2. Apply a minimum parking requirement of three (3) spaces per one thousand 3188 (1,000) square feet of usable floor area for the use and a maximum parking 3189 allowance of five (5) spaces per one thousand (1,000) square feet of useable 3190 floor area for the use. 3191 3192 3. Establish the minimum off street parking space and loading requirements based 3193 on a parking study prepared by the applicant according to Subsection 3194 21A.44.050.F. 3195 3196 3197 21A.44.040: REQUIRED OFF STREET PARKING: 3198 3199 A. Minimum and Maximum Parking Spaces Required: 3200 3201 1. Unless otherwise provided in this code, each development or land use subject 3202 to this chapter pursuant to Section 21A.44.020 shall provide at least the 3203 minimum number, and shall not provide more than the maximum number, of 3204 off street parking spaces required by Table 21A.44.040-A, “Minimum and 3205 Maximum Off Street Parking“. 3206 3207 2. A parking standard shown in Table 21A.44.040-A, “Minimum and Maximum 3208 Off Street Parking”, is not an indication of whether the use is allowed or 3209 prohibited in the respective zoning district or context area. See Chapter 3210 21A.33, “Land Use Tables” for allowed and prohibited uses. 3211 3212 3. The maximum parking limit does not apply to parking provided in parking 3213 garages, stacked or racked parking structures, or to off-site parking that 3214 complies with all other requirements of this title. 3215 3216 4. The maximum parking limit does not apply to properties in the M-1, M-2, 3217 BP, or Airport zoning districts that are located west of the centerline of 3218 Redwood Road. 3219 3220 5. If a conditional use is approved by the planning commission in accordance 3221 with Chapter 21A.54, “Conditional Uses”, and the conditional use approval 3222 states a different parking requirement than that required by this Chapter 3223 21A.44, and is determined necessary to mitigate a detrimental impact, then 3224 the parking requirement in the conditional use approval shall apply. 3225 3226 6. All uses with vehicle stacking and/or drive-through facilities shall comply 3227 with Section 21A.44.080, “Drive-Through Facilities and Vehicle 3228 103 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT Stacking Areas”, in addition to the requirements of Table 21A.44.040-A, 3229 “Minimum and Maximum Off Street Parking“. 3230 3231 7. All uses with outdoor sales, display, leasing, and/or auction areas shall also 3232 provide one-half (1/2) parking space and no more than two (2) parking spaces 3233 per one thousand (1,000) sq. ft. of outdoor sales, display, leasing, and/or auction 3234 area. This additional parking shall not count toward the maximum allowed per 3235 Table 21A.44.040-A, “Minimum and Maximum Off Street Parking”, when a 3236 maximum is specified. 3237 3238 Context Approach: 3239 3240 Salt Lake City has a wide variety of development contexts that make any single 3241 approach to minimum and maximum parking requirements ineffective. The 3242 parking demand for a downtown area served by transit will be much lower than a 3243 downtown adjacent neighborhood or suburban shopping center. To ensure that 3244 minimum and maximum parking requirements reflect the built context (and future 3245 built context) of the area, we created four distinct “context areas”, and then tailored 3246 minimum and maximum parking standards to each. The Minimum and Maximum 3247 Off Street Parking Table below lists the specific zoning districts included in each 3248 context area. The following is a brief narrative introducing each context area: 3249 3250 1. General Context: This category includes the city’s zoning districts that tend 3251 to be more auto-dependent and/or suburban in scale and parking needs. This 3252 context applies broadly to all of the zoning districts that are not specifically 3253 listed in the other context areas. 3254 3255 2. Neighborhood Center: This category includes areas with small- or 3256 moderate-scale shopping, gathering, or activity spaces, often within or 3257 adjacent to General Context areas, but that are not necessarily well served by 3258 transit. This category includes zoning districts with pedestrian-scale 3259 development patterns, building forms, and amenities. 3260 3261 3. Urban Center: This category includes zoning districts with dense, 3262 pedestrian-oriented development within more intensely developed urban 3263 centers. The parking demand in this context is higher than in the 3264 Neighborhood Center Context, but lower than areas with good transit service. 3265 3266 4. Transit Context: This category includes those zoning districts that 3267 immediately surround mass-transit facilities and/or are in the downtown core. 3268 These areas have the lowest parking demand and may be exempt from 3269 minimum parking requirements or be required to provide minimal off street 3270 parking. 3271 3272 3273 3274 3275 104 LEGISLATIVE DRAFT 3276 3277 3278 3279 TABLE 21A.44.040-A: MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM OFF STREET PARKING: DU = dwelling unit sq. ft. = square feet Land Use Minimum Parking Requirement Maximum Parking Allowed General Context Neighborhood Center Context Urban Center Context Transit Context All zoning districts not listed in another context area RB, SNB, CB, CN, R-MU-35, R-MU-45, SR-3, FB-UN1, FB- SE, SSSC Overlay D-2, MU, TSA-T, CSHBD1.
