SUBJECT: PLNPCM2023-00646 Text Amendment to prohibit demolition of dwelling units for
parking uses
STAFF CONTACT: Cassie Younger, Senior Planner, cassie.younger@slcgov.com
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: The City Council adopt the proposed ordinance
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The City recently adopted Thriving in Place (TIP), a strategy and action plan addressing housing
and community displacement issues. As part of a package of City Code amendments intended to
implement TIP, the Housing Loss Mitigation Ordinance (HLMO) was repealed, and new
regulations are being adopted to address housing displacement. The HLMO required a mitigation
plan for proposals to expand parking in residential zoning districts. The proposed zoning
ordinance amendment is intended to replace this regulation with new, stronger regulations to
prohibit the demolition of housing for parking.
Planning Staff reviewed TIP and existing zoning regulations and recommended the following
new zoning regulations to the Planning Commission:
SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION
451 SOUTH STATE STREET, ROOM 404 WWW.SLC.GOV
P.O. BOX 145486, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5486 TEL 801.535.623o FAX 801-535.6005
1. Prevent the demolition of housing for the development of commercial parking lots, park -
and -ride lots, and off -site parking facilities.
2. Prevent the demolition of housing if it results in the expansion of existing parking or the
development of new parking.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed regulations and asked Planning Staff to revise
and clarify regulation 2 above by stating expansion of parking or development of parking is
prohibited unless it is part of a development project that replaces the housing being demolished.
Planning Staff made the revisions and returned to the Planning Commission where the
Commission voted to recommend approval of the new zoning regulations. The specific zoning
rules recommended by the Planning Commission are as follows:
1. Prevent the demolition of housing if it results in the development of standalone parking
uses. Standalone parking uses are commercial parking lots, park and ride lots, and off -site
parking facilities. The proposed Zoning Ordinance text change would add a footnote to
all of the parking -related land uses in each of the land use tables and would prohibit the
particular use if it results in the demolition of a dwelling unit.
2. Prevent the expansion of parking for any existing land use when it includes the
demolition of a dwelling unless it results in the replacement of the dwelling unit. The
proposed amendments would add language to the Off -Street Parking chapter that would
prohibit "increasing the number of parking stalls or modifying a parking lot" for existing
uses if it results in a net loss of dwelling units. This language would allow for existing
residential and commercial developments to add units or expand their current
development while accommodating the required parking for their site, but not voluntary
expansion of parking when including demolition of housing.

Re: Amerdmeum related tothe demolition of residential dwelling units nor commercial parking
The Planting Division is requesting that you initiate a inning test amendment that wood prohibit the
demolition of housing to construct standalone commercial ParkinglMs/stTuclvras. The City has recently
completed the thank draft of Thriving in Place Min, astrategy and action plan addressing housing and
community displacement issues in the City. This text amendment is intended to be part of the package of
changes that implement TIP and replace the cement Housing Coss Mitigation (HLM) Ordinance.
The existing HLM ordinance requires a housing loss mitigation report when:
• ademolition peanut, if issued, would result in the loss of a housing and when located in a residential
wrung district,
• A petition for a conditional use to authorize or expand vehicle parking in a residential or mixed -use
zoning district, and
• And my zoning change that would peanut a nonresidential me that includes within its boundariesa
residential dwelling.
UP includes a series of recommendations to replace the housing loss mitigation ordinance. This initiation
would address the second bullet above by restricting when a parking lot can replace housing. Petitions have
