following districts:RB,RO,CN,CB,CS,CG,FB,M-i and M-2,D-2,and D-3.

RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the ordinance as recommended by the Planning Commission
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: The Salt Lake City Planning Division is proposing a
zoning text amendment to primarily update the standards for projecting business signs in
commercial and mixed-use districts.
The proposed amendment adds language to permit projecting business signs (sometimes
referred to as "blade signs") in all commercial and mixed-use districts. This text
amendment will create consistent sign allowance for projecting business storefront signs in
all commercial and mixed-use districts. Minor grammatical corrections to Chapter 21A.46
Signs are also included in the amendment.
These modifications are in line with the update in the State requirements and seek to support
businesses by removing barriers in the sign code for adding signs that are more visible to all passers-by
whether they are on the sidewalk,bike lanes,or in a vehicle.
The City Council may want to consider if it is also appropriate for more intense commercial zones to
allow larger projecting signs. For example,the projecting sign size is 6 square feet per face in both CN
and CG zone,but the CG zone allows buildings that can be up to ioo'taller than the CN zone. This
often results in taller ground floors,which can accommodate larger projecting signs.

Re: :amendment to the sign code to albs,•pm)ectmg signs(also called blade siw)m all o mmerdal and
=vd use district.
The Planning I msion requests that wu initiate a zoning text amendment to Chapter 21A.230 Signs
to allow projectui&signs in all commercial and mixed-use zoning districts. Protecting signs are
currentk allowed in random commercial and mixed-use zoning districts,but not in al For example,
this sign type is allowed in the S1B Small Neighborhood Business I)istrict,but not In the CN
Neighborhood Commercial or CB Community Business&--tr icts.
The Planning Division has received several recent inquiries for projecting signs in the CB and CG
zoning districts. However,the sign type is not allowed in either district. Rather than have individual
property owners or business owners submit a zoning text amendment application,the division
recommends that this be addressed through a city-initiated text amendment to address the issue in
all commercial and nrixed-used zoning districts.
A public process v%il be conducted to gauge public input on the proposed chan&es and the proposal
,A-M follow the same required steps of any other text amendment,including notification to recognized
community,organizations,a public hearing«ith the Planning Conuinission,and a decision from Cite
Council.
This menno includes a signature block to initiate the petition if that is the decided course of action. If
the decided course of action is not to initiate the application,the signnature block can remain blank.
Please notify the Planning Ihvision when the memo is signed or if the decision is made not to initiate
the petition
Please contact me at ext.0173 or nick.noi ri(E slcgov.conn if you have any questions.Thank you.
