121 H. Midblock Walkways: As part of the city's plan for the downtown area, it is intended that
122 midblock walkways be provided to facilitate pedestrian movement within the area. The
123 city has adopted the Downtown Plan that includes a midblock walkway map and
124 establishes a need for such walkways as the Downtown area grows. Because the districts
125 within the downtown area allow building heights that exceed those of other districts in
126 the ci . , the requirement for a midblock walkway is considered to be necessary to
127 alleviate pedestrian impacts on the public sidewalks by dispersing future use of the public
128 sidewalks. This requirement implements the city's Downtown Plan and provides visual
129 relief from the additional height that is available in these zone districts when compared to
130 the remainder of the city. All buildings constructed after the effective date hereof within
131 the Downtown zoning districts shall conform to this officially adopted plan for midblock
132 walkways, in addition to the following_ standards:

138
139 a. The midblock walkway must be a minimum of 15' wide and include a minimum
140 6' wide unobstructed path.
141 b. The midblock walkway may be incorporated into the building_ provided it is open
142 to the public. A sign shall be posted indicating_ that the public may use the
143 walkway.
144 c. Building encroachments into the midblock walkway are permitted if they include
145 one or more of the following elements:
146
147 (1) Colonnades;
148 (2) Staircases;
149 (3) Balconies — All balconies must be located at the third story or above;

Midblock
Walkway
As part of the ci y's plan for the downtown area, it is intended that
midblock walkways be provided to increase pedestrian connectivity and
overall livability downtown through the creation of an intricate
41
LEGISLATIVE DRAFT
pedestrian network. The city has adopted the Downtown Plan that
includes a midblock walkway map and establishes the need for such
walkways as the Downtown grows. Because the districts within the
downtown area allow building heights that exceed those of other
districts in the city, , the requirement for a midblock walkway is
considered to be necessary to alleviate pedestrian impacts on the public
sidewalks by dispersing future use of the public sidewalks. All
buildings constructed after the effective date hereof within this district
shall conform to this officially adopted plan for midblock walkway, in
addition to the following standards:
F. The midblock walkway must be a minimum of 15' wide and
include a minimum 6' wide unobstructed path.
G. The midblock walkway may be incorporated into the building
provided it is open to the public. A sign shall be posted
indicating that the public may use the walkway_
H. Building encroachments into the midblock walkway are
permitted if they include one or more of the following elements:
(1) Colonnades,
(2) Staircases,
(3) Balconies — All balconies must be located at the third story
or above.
(4) Building overhangs and associated cantilever — These
coverings may be between 9 and 14 feet above the level of the
sidewalk. They shall provide a minimum depth of coverage of 6'
and project no closer to the curb than 3'.
(5) Skybridge — A single skybridge is permitted. All skybridges
must be located at the Yd, 4d', or 5d' stories.
(6) Other architectural element(s) not listed above that offers
refuge from weather and/or provide publicly accessible usable
space.

Midblock
Walkway
As part of the city's plan for the downtown area, it is intended that
midblock walkways be provided to facilitate pedestrian movement
within the area. The city has adopted the Downtown Plan that includes a
midblock walkway map and establishes a need for such walkways as
the Downtown grows. Because the districts within the downtown area
allow maximum building heights that exceeds those of other districts in
the city, the requirement for the midblock walkway is important to
maintain the overall scale and pedestrian nature of the downtown. This
requirement implements the city's Downtown Plan and provides visual
relief from the additional height that is available in these zone districts
when compared to the remainder of the city. All buildings constructed
after the effective date hereof within the Downtown zoning districts
shall conform to this officially adopted plan for midblock walkway
addition to the following standards:
a. Any new development shall provide a midblock walkway if a
midblock walkway on the subject property has been identified in a
master plan that has been adopted by the city.
b. The midblock walkway may be incorporated into the building

21A.31.010: GENERAL PROVISIONS:
A. Statement of Intent: The G-MU Gateway -Mixed Use District is intended to provide an
urban setting for residential and commercial, developments, and implement the objectives
of the Downtown Plan through district regulations that reinforce the mixed use character
of the area and encourage the development of urban neighborhoods containing supportive
retail, service commercial, office, and high density residential.
B. Uses: Uses in the G-MU Gateway -Mixed District as specified in Section 21A.33.060,
"Table of Permitted and Conditional Uses in the Gatewav District". of this title. are
permitted subject to the general provisions set forth in this section.
C. Permitted Uses: The uses specified as permitted uses, in Section 21A.33.060, "Table of
Permitted and Conditional Uses in the Gateway District", of this title are permitted;
provided, that they comply with all requirements of this chapter, the general standards set
forth in Part IV of this title, and all other applicable requirements of this title.
D. Conditional Uses: The uses specified as conditional uses in Section 21A.33.060. "Table
2181 of Permitted and Conditional Uses in the Gateway District", of this title, shall be

2188 downtown through the creation of an intricate pedestrian network. The city has adopted
2189 the Downtown Plan that includes a midblock walkway map and establishes a need for
2190 such walkways as the Downtown grows. Because the districts within the downtown area
2191 allow building heights that exceed those of other districts in the city, the requirement for
2192 a midblock walkway is considered to be necessary to alleviate pedestrian impacts on the
2193 public sidewalks by dispersing future use of the public sidewalks. This requirement
2194 implements the city's Downtown Plan and provides visual relief from the additional
2195 height that is available in these zone districts when compared to the remainder of the city.
2196 All buildings constructed after the effective date hereof within the Downtown zoning
2197 districts shall conform to this officially adopted plan for midblock walkways, in addition

2470 SECTION 10. Amending the Text of Section 21A.37.050. That Section 21A.37.050 of
2471 the Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Design Standards: Design Standards Defined), shall be and
2472 hereby is amended to read as follows:
2473 21A.37.050: DESIGN STANDARDS DEFINED:
2474
2475 The design standards in this chapter are defined as follows. Each design standard includes a
2476 specific definition of the standard and may include a graphic that is intended to help further
2477 explain the standard; however, in cases where a conflict exists between the definition and the
2478 graphic, the definition shall take precedence. The table that follows (Section 21A.37.060)
2479 highlights the connection between each design standard and the zoning districts. It identifies
2480 whether a standard is required ( ,) or not (identified b-, � das- ). Standards
2481 that are required are identified by an X or a number referencing the pplicable standard. If
2482 there is a specific detail for the standard, it will also be identified in the table.
2483
2484 A. Ground Floor Use Aand Visual Interest: This standard's purpose is to increase the
2485 amount of active uses and/or visual interest on the ground floor of a building. Active uses
2486 are those that support the vibrancy and usability of the public realm adjacent to a
2487 building, and encourage walk-in traffic. There are two (24 options for achieving this, one
2488 dealing solely with the amount of ground floor use, and the other combining a lesser
2489 amount of ground floor use with increased visual interest in the building facade's design.
2490 The majority of the ,ground level facade of a building shall be placed parallel, and not at
2491 an angle, to the street.
2492
2493 1. Ground Floor Use Only: This option requires that a portion of the length of any
2494 street -facing buildingfacade acade on the ground floor of a new principal building include
2495 active uses allowed in the zoning district other than parking. Active uses include retail
2496 establishments, retail services, civic spaces (theaters, museums, etc), restaurants, bars,
2497 art and craft studios, and other uses determined to be substantially similar b. the
2498 planning director and/or planning commission. Unless other uses are specifically
2499 required by this title, residential uses may count towards the ground floor use
2500 requirement. The ground floor of all new buildings shall have a minimum floor to
2501 ceiling height of 16' The ground floor use shall not consist of spaces that discourage
2502 walk-in traffic, such as a residential mailroom, common room, back of house
2503 functions, or private business offices associated with an active use. Allowed uses
2504 shall occupy a minimum pef ien percentage of the length
2505 of the street facing facade according to seetion 21A.37.060, .37.060, tTable 21A.37.060 of this
2506 chapter. All portions of such ground floor spaces shall extend a minimum of twe
2507 fi25) into the building. Parking may be located behind these spaces.
2508

2509 a. For single-family attached uses, the required use depth may be reduced to ten feet
2510 (10').
2511 b. The TSA (Transit Station Area), R-MU-35 (Residential Mixed -Use), R-MU-45
2512 (Residential Mixed -Use), FB-UN2 (Form Based Urban Neighborhood), FB-UN3
2513 (Form Based Urban Neighborhood), FBUN-SC (Form Based Urban
2514 Neighborhood Special Corridor Core), FBUN-SE (Form Based Urban
2515 Neighborhood Special Corridor Edge), CSHBD (Sugar House Business District)
2516 are not subject to the 16' minimum floor to ceiling heightrequired by this section.
2517 A zoning district that has a similar requirement, that requirement shall apply.
2518 c. For single-family or two-family uses, garages occupying up to fifty per-ee„* 00%)
2519 of the width length of the ground floor building facade are exempt from this
2520 requirement.
2521
d. For all other uses, vehicle entry and exit ways necessary for access to parking are
2522
exempt from this requirement. Such accessways shall not exceed thift-f feet (30)
2523
in width. Individual dwelling unit garages do not qualify for this exemption.
2524
e. Outdoor space may count for up to 25% of the required ground floor use
2525
requirement when the outdoor space is within a required or provided front or
2526
corner side yard setback if the outdoor space includes outdoor dining space, an
2527
outdoor recreation use, fenced off areas for pets, patio space with seating, or other
2528
similar use. The amount of outdoor space shall be calculated on a linear foot for
2529
linear foot basis.
2530
f. Areas such as kitchens, storage, bicycle parking, and other areas that are not
2531
accessible to customers shall not be counted towards the requirement for -ram
2532
floor use and visual interest.
2533
2534
2. Ground Floor Use Aand Visual Interest: This option allows for some flexibility in the
2535
amount of required ground floor use, but in return requires additional design
2536
requirements for the purpose of creating increased visual interest and pedestrian
2537
activity where the lower levels of buildings face streets or sidewalks. This option
2538
identifies a required percentage of ground floor space that must be an active use, and
2539
the percentage of the building which must provide visual interest. An applicant
2540
utilizing this option must proceed through the design review process, Chapter
2541
21A.59 for review of the project for determination of the project's compliance with
2542
those standards, and in addition, whether the design it -contributes to increased visual
2543
interest through a combination of increased building material variety, architectural
2544
features, facade changes, art, and colors; and, increased pedestrian activity through
2545
permeability between the building and the adjacent public realm using niches, bays,
2546
gateways, porches, colonnades, stairs or other similar features to facilitate pedestrian
2547
interaction with the building.

3393
3394 The purpose of the design review chapter is to: a) establish a process and standards of review
3395 for minor modifications to applicable design standards, and b) ensure high quality outcomes
3396 for larger developments that have a significant impact on the Ecity. The intent of the process
3397 to review applications for minor modifications to applicable design standards is to allow
3398 some flexibility in how the design standards are administered by recognizing that this title
3399 cannot anticipate all development issues that may arise. The intent of the process to review
3400 larger developments is to verify new developments are compatible with their surroundings,
3401 impacts to public infrastructure and public spaces are addressed, and that new development
3402 helps achieve development goals outlined in the adopted master plans of the Gcity as
3403 identified in the purpose statements of each zoning district.
