SUBJECT: PLNPCM2023-00282, Text Amendment Related to Maximum Height in the M-1
District
STAFF CONTACT: Andy Hulka, Inland Port Principal Planner
andy.hulka@slcgov.com or 801-535-6608
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the changes to the zoning ordinance related
to maximum height in the M-1 District, as recommended by the Planning Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Salt Lake Garfield and Western Railway Company has
initiated a petition to amend the zoning ordinance related to maximum height in the M-1 Light
Manufacturing District. The proposed amendment would allow bulk material storage structures up
to 150' in height to be built west of 5600 West and between 100' and 1000' south of I-80. The
proposed changes will affect section 21A.28.020 "M-1 Light Manufacturing District" of the zoning
ordinance.
The current maximum height allowed in the district is 65’, with several exceptions for different
types of structures or buildings in certain locations:
•Emission free distillation column structures necessary for manufacture processing
purposes are permitted up to 120’.
Lisa Shaffer (Sep 20, 2023 09:43 MDT)09/20/2023
09/20/2023
• Buildings located west of the Airport and north of I-80 are permitted up to 85’, subject to
design review.
• Railroad offloading structures are allowed up to a maximum of 85’.
After several discussions with the applicant, the language of the proposed amendment was drafted
to allow bulk material storage structures associated with a railroad freight terminal up to 150’ in
height if they are located west of 5600 W. and between 100’ and 1000’ south of I-80. Airport staff
has also requested that the height of structures located between 5600 W. and John Glenn Rd. not
exceed the elevation of 4,378.8 mean sea level (MSL). In order to mitigate the potential visual
impact of the structures, size and spacing standards have been included to limit the diameter of the
structures to 100’ and to require spacing between structures equal to or greater than double the
structure height.
The Planning Commission considered the request at an August 9, 2023 public hearing and voted
to send a positive recommendation to the City Council with a condition that “the section between
5600 West and John Glenn Road be measured from the lower of the runway elevation and the site
elevation.” The language of the amendment has been updated to reflect the intent of the
Commission’s condition, while also incorporating the Airport staff’s recommended language.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
Community Council Notice: A notice of application was sent to the Poplar Grove Community
Council on May 16, 2023, per City Code Chapter 2.60 with a link to the online open house
webpage. The recognized organizations were given 45 days to respond with any concerns or to
request staff to meet with them and discuss the proposed zoning amendment. The 45-day public
engagement period ended on June 30, 2023.
Public Open House: An online open house was held from May 16, 2023, to June 30, 2023. Staff
received no public input for this petition during the public engagement period.
Planning Commission Meeting: The Planning Commission held a public hearing on August 9,
2023. The Planning Commission provided a positive recommendation to the City Council on the
proposed amendment with a condition that “the section between 5600 West and John Glenn
Road be measured from the lower of the runway elevation and the site elevation.”

ZONING APPLICATION MEMORANDUM
To: Salt Lake City, Planning Staff
From: Daniel McCay, Representative of Salt Lake, Garfield, and Western Railway Company
RE: Textual Zoning Amendment Application
Date: 4/17/2023
Statement Declaring the Purpose for the Amendment
The purpose of the amendment is to facilitate the construction of a mixed-use project consisting of rail
operations to the west and Cement distribution to the east.
Statement of Proposed Use of the Property
The plan is to construct a cement distribution terminal for bulk cement products. The bulk cement (dry
powder) product would be shipped into the facility via rail, unloaded into vertical storage tanks and then
loaded onto local delivery trucks for distribution in the Salt Lake City and surrounding areas. The
necessity for the terminal stems from meeting customer demand. Having product available and in the
location it is ultimately being transported to is key to obtaining contracts to secure sales and to serve
clients during the construction season.
The distribution terminal consists of the following; rail spurs to be able to move the rail cars (typically
unit trains which reduce the trip generation) onto an unloading area, an unloading pit for unloading the
rail cars, a bucket elevator that carries the product upward to enable loading into the top of vertical
storage tanks, vertical storage tanks consisting of bolted steel construction, a terminal scale house
building to house the employees and controls for the facility, a compressed air building for housing the
compressors that support the facility, and related product moving equipment such as conveyors, augers
and air slides.
The client strives to reduce energy consumption by reducing the conveyance devices to the minimum
needed to complete the transfer of the product. The height of the elevator that brings product upward
to then be sent into the vertical storage tanks is dictated by the clients desire to use less energy
consuming conveyance devices that rely on gravity more so than power. Product is conveyed from the
elevator via a device called an air slide where-in gravity flow is aided by low pressure air injected to
move the product along. The heights and sizes of the vertical storage tanks are driven by several factors
such as; being able to load tanker trailers via gravity (in lieu of powered equipment) and having capacity
to hold enough product to make the unit trains viable.
The cement product is loaded and unloaded in a contained environment. Rainfall even moisture in the
air is detrimental to the product when in transit and storage. Unloading, conveyance and loading
measures are all within contained devices (conveyors, etc), unloading apparatus is directly connected to
rail cars (rail cars are enclosed hopper cars), the trucks being loaded are contained trailers (not open
tops). At the many facilities that the client owns air quality permits are obtained and, in some cases not
required as dust mitigation is handled by not having the product exposed to the environment when
loading and unloading.
The cement products are generally used by local ready-mix plants, precast concrete manufacturers and
for mixing of concrete for larger projects (road construction, large cast in place projects) directly at the
site of the project being constructed (not within this facility). GCC has made a commitment to
environmentally responsible construction products and internal operations. Much of that initiative can
be found on their website at Sustainability - GCC
Thank you for your help and time on the review of our proposed project.
Reasons the Proposed Amendment is Appropriate
1. Project is located in a heavy industrial area
2. Project is located next to and will be served by rail
3. Cement distribution via rail will meet an important need in the industrial growth of the area and
minimize traffic
