SECTION 9. 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

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

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

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. A 739
logical, simple and well designed internal circulation system that connects with 740
adjacent circulation networks provides room for vehicles, safe walking paths for 741
pedestrians through the parking lot and the site to the public way, and well 742
marked routes for bicycles traveling from public spaces to bicycle parking areas 743
within a site. All new developments over five (5) acres are required to submit an 744
internal circulation network plan. 745
(1) Travel Lanes That Connect Parking Areas With Aa Public Street: All internal 746
vehicle travel lanes that connect internal parking areas with a public street 747
shall be designed to meet the minimum requirements in sSection 21A.44.020 748
21A.44.060.A.6 of this title. 749
(2) Design Speed: The internal circulation system shall be designed to move 750
vehicles at speeds of twenty (20) miles per hour or less. 751
(3) Future Access Tto Adjacent Properties Aand Rights-Of-Way: All internal 752
drive aisles, sidewalks, and paths shall be extended to property lines to allow 753
for future cross access to adjacent properties when the adjacent property is 754
undeveloped and to rights-of-way. 755
25
LEGISLATIVE DRAFT
(4) Centerlines: The centerline of all internal streets shall be in line with the 756
centerline of a street on the opposite side of an intersecting street unless the 757

and/or the design review process established in this chapter and cChapter 21A.59 of this 1143
title. 1144
E. Site Plan Review; Design Review: In certain districts, permitted uses and conditional 1145
uses have the potential for adverse impacts if located and oriented on lots without careful 1146
planning. 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

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

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 center of each 1683
additional entrance shall be located within six feet (6’) either direction of the specified 1684
51
LEGISLATIVE DRAFT
location. Each ground floor nonresidential leasable space facing a street shall have an 1685
operable entrance facing that street and a walkway to the nearest sidewalk. Corner 1686
entrances, when facing a street and located at approximately a forty five degree (45°) 1687
angle to the two (2) adjacent building facades (chamfered corner), may count as an 1688
entrance for both of the adjacent facades. 1689
E. Maximum Length Oof Blank Wall: The maximum length of any blank wall uninterrupted 1690
by windows, doors, art or architectural detailing at the ground floor level along any street 1691
facing facade shall be as specified according to sSection 21A.37.060, tTable 21A.37.060 1692
of this chapter. Changes in plane, texture, materials, scale of materials, patterns, art, or 1693
other architectural detailing are acceptable methods to create variety and scale. This shall 1694
include architectural features such as bay windows, recessed or projected entrances or 1695
windows, balconies, cornices, columns, or other similar architectural features. The 1696
architectural feature shall be either recessed a minimum of twelve inches (12”) or 1697
projected a minimum of twelve inches (12”). 1698
F. Maximum Length Oof Street Facing Facades: No street facing building wall may be 1699
longer than specified along a street line according to sSection 21A.37.060, tTable 1700
21A.37.060 of this chapter. A minimum of twenty feet (20’) is required between separate 1701
buildings when multiple buildings are placed on a single parcel according to 1702
sSubsection 21A.36.010.B, “One Principal Building Per Lot”, of this title. 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

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. All screening enclosures viewable from 1738
the street shall be either incorporated into the building architecture or shall incorporate 1739
building materials and detailing compatible with the building being served. All screening 1740

within the Main Street retail core area and to limit required parking increases 2213
resulting from a change in use. 2214
2215
2. Applicability: The regulations of this subsection shall apply to parking structures or 2216
lots located within, or partially within, the Main Street retail core area, as defined 2217
in chapter 21A.30 of this title. These regulations shall also apply to parking structures 2218
or lots established to serve uses located wholly or partially within the area defined 2219
in chapter 21A.30 of this title. The regulations of this subsection shall apply to all 2220
uses in the D-1, D-2 and D-3 districts. 2221
2222
3. Short Term Parking Requirements: That number of parking spaces required to serve 2223
retail goods or retail service establishments located within the Main Street retail core 2224
72
LEGISLATIVE DRAFT
area shall be designated as short term parking spaces (i.e., for less than 1 day). These 2225
spaces shall be at the retail level (not necessarily the ground level) of a parking 2226
structure, or the spaces closest to the retail use shall be designated for short term 2227
parking. 2228
2229
4. Change Of Use: Any legally established use in the D-1, D-2 or D-3 district may be 2230
changed to any other legal use without providing any additional off street parking, 2231
provided that the change of use does not require any expansion to the existing 2232
principal structure greater than one thousand (1,000) square feet. 2233
2234
J. Recreational Vehicle Parking: The parking of recreational vehicles shall conform to the 2235
standards set forth below: 2236
2237
1. Standards: 2238
2239
a. Recreational vehicle parking spaces shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, 2240
other required off street parking spaces. 2241
2242
b. Recreational vehicle parking is prohibited in the front yard. 2243
2244
c. Recreational vehicle parking is permitted in any enclosed structure conforming to 2245
building code and zoning requirements for the zoning district in which it is 2246
located. 2247
2248
d. Recreational vehicle parking in side or rear yards may be permitted subject to the 2249
following conditions: 2250
2251
(1) Recreational vehicle parking permitted for each residence shall be limited to 2252
one motor home or travel trailer and a total of two (2) recreational vehicles of 2253
any type; 2254

(2) Recreational vehicles may be parked in the rear yard only on an adequate hard 2256
surfaced pad with access provided by either a hard surfaced driveway, hard 2257
surfaced drive strips or an access drive constructed of turf block materials 2258

2260
(3) Recreational vehicle parking shall be allowed in side yards only if the rear 2261
yard cannot be accessed, and in a side yard other than the driveway side yard 2262
only if the driveway side yard cannot be used for such additional parking. 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

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

use on the lot requiring the fewest number of spaces. Only one exemption shall be 2352
allowed per lot. 2353
2354

21A.44.040: ALTERNATIVE PARKING REQUIREMENTS AND OFF STREET 2427
PARKING REDUCTIONS: 2428
2429
A. 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

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. The maximum distance between the proposed use and the closest point of the off 2511
site parking facility shall not exceed one thousand feet (1,000’). However, in the 2512
D-1 district, such distance shall not exceed one thousand two hundred feet 2513
(1,200’). 2514
82
LEGISLATIVE DRAFT
b. Projects requiring off site, shared, and/or alternative parking in areas of the city 2515
where a UI zoning district abuts a D-1 district, the following apply: 2516
2517
(1) For a project located within a UI district, the area available for off site, shared, 2518
and/or alternative parking shall not exceed five hundred feet (500’) within the 2519
UI district unless the D-1 district is located within one thousand two hundred 2520
feet (1,200’), in which case the area available for off site, shared, and/or 2521
alternative parking may extend up to one thousand two hundred feet (1,200’) 2522
from the project in the direction of the D-1 district; 2523
2524
(2) For a project located within a D-1 district, the area available for off site, 2525
shared, and/or alternative parking shall not exceed one thousand two hundred 2526
feet (1,200’); however, if the UI district is located within one thousand two 2527
hundred feet (1,200’), the area available for off site, shared, and/or alternative 2528
parking shall not extend into the UI district more than five hundred feet 2529
(500’); 2530
2531
(3) The maximum distance between the proposed use and the off site, shared, 2532
and/or alternative parking shall be measured radially from the closest property 2533
line of the proposed use to the closest property line of the off site, shared, 2534
and/or alternative parking; 2535
2536
(4) Parking spaces shall not be counted more than once in off site, shared, and/or 2537
alternative parking plans for different facilities, except where different plans 2538
comply with off site, shared, and/or alternative parking regulations due to 2539
hours of operation, days of usage, or other reasons. 2540
2541
c. Off site parking to support uses in the CB, CN, RB, MU, R-MU, R-MU-35 and R-2542
MU-45 zones or a legal nonconforming use in a residential zone need not comply 2543
with the maximum five hundred foot (500’) distance limitation, provided the 2544
applicant can demonstrate that a viable plan to transport patrons or employees has 2545
been developed. Such plans include, but are not limited to, valet parking or a 2546
shuttle system. After July 31, 2008, no new off site parking facilities may be 2547
created in any residential zoning district, except in the RB, RO, R-MU, R-MU-35 2548
and R-MU-45 zoning districts. The zoning administrator has the authority to make 2549
discretionary decisions concerning the provisions of section 21A.44.030, 2550
table 21A.44.030 of this chapter when actual data is presented which supports a 2551
change in the parking requirement. The zoning administrator may require a traffic 2552
and/or parking impact study in such matters. 2553
2554
d. Off site parking facilities shall be under the same ownership or leasehold interest 2555
as the lot occupied by the building or use to which the parking facilities are 2556
accessory. Private possession of off street parking facilities may be either by deed 2557
or by long term lease. The deed or lease shall require the owner and/or heirs, 2558
successors or assigns to maintain the required number of parking facilities 2559
through contract for the duration of five (5) years. The city shall be notified when 2560
83
LEGISLATIVE DRAFT
the contract is terminated. If for any reason the lease is terminated during the five 2561
(5) year minimum contractual period, the lessee shall either replace the parking 2562
being lost through the terminated lease, or obtain approval for alternative parking 2563
requirements. Pursuant to obtaining a building permit or conditional use approval, 2564
documentation of the off site parking facility shall be recorded against both the 2565
principal use property and the property to be used for off site parking. 2566
2567
6. On Street Parking: In all zoning districts other than single- or two-family residential 2568
districts, credit for on street parking shall be allowed to satisfy some or all off street 2569
parking required in section 21A.44.030 of this chapter. For single- and two-family 2570
uses, regardless of the underlying zoning district, on street parking cannot be used to 2571
satisfy required off street parking. On street parking cannot be used to satisfy ADA 2572
required parking. Such credit shall require site plan review approval and shall meet 2573
the following requirements: 2574
2575
a. Parking must be permitted without time restrictions along the streets to be used; 2576
2577
b. All on street parking facilities shall be designed in conformance with the 2578
standards established by the city transportation director; 2579
2580
c. Prior to approving any requests for on street parking, the zoning administrator, in 2581
consultation with the city transportation director, shall determine that the 2582
proposed on street parking will not materially adversely impact traffic movements 2583
and related public street functions; and 2584
2585
d. Credit for on street parking shall be limited to the number of spaces provided 2586
along the street frontage adjacent to the use. 2587
2588
7. Parking Exemptions For Proximity To Mass Transit: For any new multi-family 2589
residential, commercial, office or industrial development within one-fourth (1/4) mile 2590
of a fixed transit station, the minimum number of parking spaces required according 2591
to section 21A.44.030 of this chapter can be reduced by fifty percent (50%). 2592
2593

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

“Minimum and Maximum Off Street Parking”, may be adjusted by the factors listed in 3355
this section. These adjustments may be applied as part of the calculation of parking 3356
requirements and do not require discretionary approval by the City. 3357
3358
A. Limitations on Adjustments to Minimum Required Parking: With the exception of 3359
reductions available for Affordable and Senior Housing, tThe adjustments listed in 3360
130
LEGISLATIVE DRAFT
Subsections 21A.44.050.B through 21A.44.050.G may be used in any combination, 3361
but shall not be combined to reduce the minimum required parking established in 3362
Table 21A.44.040-A, “Minimum and Maximum Off Street Parking“, by more than 3363
forty percent (40%). 3364
B. Shared Parking: 3365
3366
1. Shared Parking for Two or More Uses: 3367
3368
a. Where two (2) or more uses listed in Table 21A.44.040-A, “Minimum 3369
and Maximum Off Street Parking”, share a parking garage or parking lot 3370
that is located on one of the properties that is sharing parking, or is 3371
located within the maximum permitted distance of all of the properties 3372
sharing parking shown in Table 21A.44.060-B, “Maximum Distances for 3373
Off-Site Parking”, the total minimum off street parking requirement for 3374
those uses may be reduced by the factors shown in Table 21A.44.050-A, 3375
“Shared Parking Reduction Factors“. 3376
3377
b. The minimum number of off street parking spaces shall be the sum of 3378
the parking requirements for the uses divided by the factor shown in 3379
Table 21A.44.050-A, “Shared Parking Reduction Factors”, for that 3380
combination of uses. 3381
3382
Example: If a 5,000 square foot art gallery shared a parking lot with a 3383
5,000 square foot retail goods establishment, and a 100 unit multi-family 3384
residential use in the Urban Center Context, the minimum off street 3385
parking required would be calculated as follows: 3386
〉 Use 1: Art Gallery 3387
〉 0.5 per 1,000 sq. ft. x (5,000 sq. ft.) = 3 parking spaces 3388
〉 Use 2: Retail Goods Establishment 3389
〉 1 per 1,000 sq. ft. x (5,000 sq. ft.) = 5 parking spaces 3390
〉 Use 3: Multi-Family Residential 3391
〉 0 per studio unit x (20 studio units) = 0 parking spaces 3392
〉 0.5 per 1 bedroom unit x (36 1 bedroom units) = 18 parking spaces 3393
〉 1 per 2+ bedroom units x (44 2+ bedroom units) = 44 parking spaces 3394
〉 0+18+44 = 62 parking spaces 3395
〉 Sum of two largest minimum parking requirements: 3396
〉 5 (retail goods establishment)+ 62 (multi-family) = 67 parking spaces 3397
〉 Reduction Factor (two largest minimums): 3398
〉 67 ÷ 1.2 reduction factor = 55.8 or 56 parking spaces 3399
〉 Add Remaining Minimum(s): 3400
〉 56 (retail & multi-family) + 3 (art gallery) = 59 parking spaces required 3401

threats to pedestrian, bicycle, or vehicle safety, the property owners 3427
involved in the shared parking arrangement may be held in violation of 3428
this chapter. 3429
C. Proximity to Fixed-Rail Transit: Required parking for a development located 3430
within one-quarter mile (when measured radially in a straight line from the subject 3431
property line) of a fixed-rail transit station platform in the General Context, 3432
Neighborhood Center Context, and Urban Center Context areas may be reduced by 3433
up to twenty-five percent (25%). This shall not apply to single or two-family uses 3434
including: single-family (attached or detached), twin homes, or two-family. 3435
3436
D. Affordable and Senior Housing (Multi-Family Structures): The minimum number 3437
of required off street parking spaces for multi-family residential developments with 3438
at least ten (10) dwelling units may be reduced by twenty-five percent (25%) if the 3439
multi-family development has: 3440
3441
1. A minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the dwelling units are restricted to 3442
residents with no greater than sixty percent (60%) area median income (AMI) 3443
for leased units; or 3444
3445
2. A minimum of thirty-five percent (35%) of the dwelling units are restricted to 3446
residents with no greater than eighty percent (80%) AMI for sale units; or 3447
3448
3. A minimum of seventy-five percent (75%) of the dwelling units are restricted 3449
to persons sixty-five (65) years of age or older. 3450
3451
For a development that meets any of the scenarios above, an additional reduction 3452
of up to fifteen percent (15%) may be allowed when the development is located 3453
within one-quarter mile (when measured radially in a straight line from the 3454
subject property line) of a bus stop that is serviced by the same route at least 3455
every fifteen (15) minutes during daytime hours, Monday - Saturday. 3456
3457
The reductions for Affordable and Senior Housing can be combined with any 3458
other allowed reductions for a combined total not to exceed 80%. 3459
3460
E. Car Pool and Carshare Parking: 3461
3462
1. For parking lots with one hundred (100) or more parking spaces, each off 3463
street parking space designated and signed for the exclusive use of a shared 3464
car pool vehicle shall count as three (3) spaces toward the satisfaction of 3465
minimum off street vehicle parking requirements. 3466
3467
2. For parking lots with one hundred (100) or more parking spaces, each off street 3468
parking space designated and signed for the exclusive use of a shared vanpool 3469
vehicle shall count as seven (7) spaces toward the satisfaction of minimum off 3470
street vehicle parking requirements. 3471
133
LEGISLATIVE DRAFT
3472
3. For parking lots of any size, each off street parking space designated and 3473
signed for the exclusive use of a carshare vehicle shall count as four (4) 3474
spaces toward the satisfaction of minimum off street vehicle parking 3475
requirements. 3476
3477
F. Valet Parking Services: Modifications to minimum on site parking spaces may 3478
occur on a one-to-one basis if off site valet parking is provided and: 3479
3480
1. The design of the valet parking does not cause customers who do not use the 3481
valet services to park off the premises or cause queuing in the right-of-way; 3482
3483
2. The availability of valet parking service is clearly posted outside the 3484
establishment and near the main entrance; and 3485
3486
3. The applicant provides adequate written assurances for the continued operation 3487
of the valet parking, and a written agreement to notify future owners and 3488
tenants of the property of the duty to continue to provide off-site valet parking. 3489
3490
G. Parking Study Demonstrating Different Parking Needs: 3491
3492
1. The transportation director, in consultation with the planning director, may 3493
authorize a change in the amount of off street parking spaces. The 3494
authorization shall be based on the applicant submitting a parking study that 3495
demonstrates a different off street parking demand for the proposed 3496
development, use, or combination of uses than calculated from Table 3497
21A.44.040-A, “Minimum and Maximum Off Street Parking“, and subject to 3498
the overall limits on parking adjustments in Subsection 21A.44.050.A above. 3499
3500
2. The transportation director and planning director shall determine whether the 3501
information and assumptions used in the study are reasonable and whether the 3502
study accurately reflects anticipated off street parking demand for the proposed 3503
development, use, or combination of uses. 3504
3505
3. Considerations for an alternative parking requirement (parking provided below 3506
the minimum required or exceeding the maximum allowed) shall be granted 3507
only if the following findings are determined: 3508
3509
a. That the proposed parking plan will satisfy the anticipated parking demand 3510
for the use; 3511
3512
b. That the proposed parking plan will be at least as effective in maintaining 3513
traffic circulation patterns, reducing the visibility of parking areas and 3514
facilities as would strict compliance with the otherwise applicable off 3515
street parking standards; 3516
3517
134
LEGISLATIVE DRAFT
c. That the proposed parking plan does not have a materially adverse 3518
impact on adjacent or neighboring properties; 3519
3520
d. That the proposed parking plan includes mitigation strategies for any 3521
potential impact on adjacent or neighboring properties; and 3522
3523
e. That the proposed alternative parking plan is consistent with applicable 3524
