SUBJECT: PLNPCM2023-00959 - MU-8 Zone Sign Text Amendments
STAFF CONTACT: Brooke Olson, Principal Planner
brooke.olsonAslcgov.com, 801-535-7118
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council adopt the zoning text amendments as recommended
by the Planning Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Salt Lake City initiated this petition to amend sections of the
Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance pertaining to the proposed MU-8 Form Based Mixed Use
Subdistrict 8. Specifically, amendments to chapter 21A.46 Signs, which addresses sign
regulations in each zoning district. The proposed amendments are intended to establish sign
regulations for the proposed MU-8 zoning district.
The MU-8 zone is proposed to be created and mapped in the center of the Ballpark Station
Master Plan Area under petition PLNPCM2023-00169, the Ballpark Station Area Rezones. The
proposed MU-8 zone is a high density form based mixed use district, allowing buildings up to 8
stories in height and intended to facilitate the creation of high density pedestrian oriented
developments. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed zone on October 25, 2023 and
recommended approval to the City Council. The proposal is currently in the process of being
transmitted to the Council Office. Since petitions PLNPCM2023-00169 and PLNPCM2023-

00959 are associated with creating regulations for the proposed MU-8 zone, the council may
want to consider scheduling the briefings and public hearing for both petitions simultaneously if
transmitted to Council Staff within similar timeframes.
Chapter 21A.46 establishes sign regulations for each of the City's Zoning Districts. The
regulations specify sign quantity, size, and placement regulations for various sign types
permitted in each zone. Several sign types are exempt from the City's sign regulations, however,
most sign types require a review and approval by the City and issuance of a building permit prior
to installation. If sign regulations are not established for the MU-8 zone, very limited signage
would be allowed in the zone such as building security signs, small public safety signs, and
house number signs which are exempt from sign regulations.
The proposed amendments establish a variety of sign types in the zone, which are intended to
provide appropriate signage primarily oriented to the pedestrian and mass transit. In comparison
to the City's high density commercial zones, proposed signage in the MU-8 zone is more
pedestrian oriented, and limited in terms of sign types, size, and quantity.
The MU-8 sign regulations are proposed to be located within chapter 21A.46.096, sign
regulations for Form Based Districts and created to be consistent with the sign regulations for the
newly adopted FB-MU11, Form Based Mixed Use 11 zone (previously titled FB-UN3). While
the FB-MU1 1 and MU-8 zones vary in terms of some use and bulk regulations, both zones are
high density form based mixed use zones intended to create quality pedestrian -oriented
developments. Both zones consist of similar development regulations and seen as having similar
needs for signage, therefore treated the same in regard to sign controls.
Summary of Proposed Changes
The proposed ordinance language is provided in Exhibit 1. The following changes are being
proposed to establish sign regulations for the MU-8 Zone:
1. Amendments to 21A.46.096 —Sign Regulations for Form Based Districts
• Amend the sign regulations for Form Based Districts to also include sign
regulations for Form Based Mixed Use Districts.
• Add the MU-8 zone to the sign type specification tables. See chapter 21 A.46.020
for sign type definitions. The following sign types would be permitted in the MU-
8 zone:
o A -Frame
o Awning or Canopy
o Construction
o Flat
o Flat Sign Building Orientation
o Marquee
o Monument
o Nameplate
o New Development
o Private Directional
o Projecting
o Projecting Parking Entry
o Real Estate
o Window
2. Amendments to 21A.46.125.B.3.d —Vintage Signs
• Add MU-8 to the list of zoning districts in which vintage signs can be relocated to
for use as a piece of public art, subject to meeting specific requirements:
o Original design and character of sign is retained or restored
o The sign advertises a business no longer in operation
PUBLIC PROCESS:

This memo is to request that a petition is initiated directing the Planning Division to amend the
zoning in portions of the Ballpark neighborhood in response to direction provided by the recently
adopted BallpazkStation Area Plan. This plan was approved by the City Council on October 18, z0zz.
The Ballpark Station Area Plan provides guidance for future development and land use to support the
livability and future growth in the Ballpark neighborhood.
One of the key implementation steps identified in the plan is updating the zoning to establish a
framework for future growth. The Planning Division is recommending that the zoning changes be
broken into two phases:
• Phase l: Zoning changes for the"Heart of the Neighborhood"which is focused on the vicinity
Of 1300 S and West Temple St, the Jefferson Park Mixed Use area (located north of the
ballpark to the Interstate 15 viaduct)and the Main Sheet corridor between Kelsey Ave and
Cleveland Ave. Please refer to the attached map for the areas intended to be addressed in
Phase 1.
• Phase z: The remaining area along Main Street, south of Cleveland Ave. It is anticipated that
Phase zWill be started in conjunction with the adoption process for Life on State, anticipated
to start later this year.
As part ofthe process, the Planning Division will follow the City adoption process for zoning map
amendments, which includes contacting recognized organizations and mailing notices to all property
owners and residents in the study area in addition to general citizen input and public hearings with
the Planning Commission and (Sty Cored. The division will also hold public engagement events to
the neighborhood to provide property owners, residents and business owners a convenient way to
share theircomments withstaff. The adoption process will also include collaboration with other City
Departments.
The map belowi isplays the initial proposal recommendedbythe Planning Division and identifies
the areas that would be retuned and the identified zoning district that most closely aligns with the
Ballpark Station Area Plan vision and goals.
