SUBJECT: PLNPCM2023-00194, Zoning Terms and Definitions Amendment
STAFF CONTACT: Ben Buckley, Associate Planner
benjamin.buckley@slcgov.com or 801-535-7142
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the changes to the zoning ordinance related
to Part VI of Title 21A and all associated amendments, as recommended by the Planning
Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Mayor Erin Mendenhall initiated a petition that would amend
Part VI of Title 21A of the zoning ordinance. Part VI includes the terms and definitions that are
used throughout Title 21A. The amendment includes the elimination of Chapter 21A.60, List of
Terms, and the removal and the updating of some of the definitions found in 21A.62.040. Other
amendments have been made throughout Title 21A for clarity and consistency.
Chapter 21A.60 no longer serves the intended purpose of helping readers determine what words
are defined in the zoning ordinance. At nearly 760 terms, the chapter has become impractical and
burdensome for city planners and the public. The changes in 21A.62.040 include eliminating
repetition, clarification of definitions, and the removal of unused or obsolete definitions. This
will benefit both the general public and city staff.
No zoning standards or land use regulations are impacted by this text amendment. For additional
information regarding the proposal, please refer to the Planning Commission Staff Report.

3. PETITION TO INITIATE

Cc: Lisa Shaffer, Chief Administrative Officer; Blake Thomas, Department of Community and
Neighborhoods Director; Michaela Oktay, Deputy Planning Director
From: NickNorris,Planning Director
Date: March 14, 2023
Re: Amendment to related to zoningterms anddefinitions in Part VI of the Zoning Ordinance
The Planning Division is requesting that you initiate a zoning text amendment to Part VI General
Terms of the City Code. The amendment is to eliminate Chapter 21A.60 List of Terms and remove
and update definitions in Chapter 21A.62 Definitions.
Chapter 21A.60 is merely a list of the defined the terms in the ordinance. The chapter was originally
created to help readers determine which terms are defined. However, the list has grown to 758 terms,
making it impractical to use and burdensome for staff to manage each time a text amendment is
proposed. The Planning Division, in consultation with the Attorney’s Office, believes the chapter
provides no benefit to the city or the public and slows down text amendment processes. Thus, we
proposed to eliminate it from city code.
The changes to Chapter 21A.62 will include:
• removing terms and definitions no longer used in the code but weren’t deleted in prior text
amendments;
• correcting or clarifying definitions;
• consolidating terms that have the same definition; and,
• updating outdated language or definitions.
These changes may include modifications to other sections of Title 21A. Zoning ordinance for
consistency.
A public process will be conducted to gauge public input on the proposed changes and the proposal
will follow the required steps of any other text amendment, including notification to recognized
community organizations, a public hearing with the Planning Commission and a decision from City
Council.
This memo includes a signature block to initiate the petition if that is the decided course of action. If
the decided course of action is to not initiate the application, the signature block can remain blank.
Please notify the Planning Division when the memo is signed or if the decision is made to not initiate
the petition.
Please contact me at ext. 6173 or nick.norris@slcgov.com if you have any questions. Thank you.
