Background/Discussion (?)
BACKGROUND: As part of the adoption of the NorthpointSmall Area Plan in November 2023, the Salt Lake City Council initiated a zoningtext amendment to create a new zoning district that aligns with the plan'sgoals, policies, and future land use recommendations.
The project area covers the area generally located between theSalt Lake City International Airport and the northern boundary of the cityalong the 2200 West corridor. The project area is predominantly zoned foragriculture, business park, or light manufacturing. However, the current zoningdistricts do not provide the development standards and land uses needed toimplement the plan's goals, strategies, and recommendations. The primary goalof the plan and the proposed M-1A zoning is to allow new development whileensuring it respects the existing residential and agricultural properties andthe sensitive landscape. The proposed zoning district includes design standardsfor new developments, building size restrictions, and open space preservationincentives to support the vision of the Northpoint Small Area Plan.
Small Area Plan Future Land Use & Zoning Applicability
The Northpoint Small Area Plan includes a future land use mapthat identifies appropriate land uses for the area. The future land usecategories include open space, transitional areas that are currentlyresidential or agricultural and will either remain as such or transition tolight industrial uses, business park, or industrial areas and land owned by theairport. The M-1A zoning is suitable for land identified as either LightIndustrial or Transitional on the future land use map.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED NORTHPOINT LIGHTINDUSTRIAL (M-1A) ZONE: The proposed zone would fall under Chapter 21A.38Manufacturing District as a new Chapter 21A.28.040. As discussed, the proposedM-1A zone is intended to implement the Northpoint Small Area Plan. As a result,many of the standards in the new zone come directly from the design standards orimplementation strategies outlined in the small area plan.
Development Standards
Development standards include a maximum building height of 40feet, a maximum building footprint of 100,000 square feet, and a maximum lotarea of 10 acres. New development must be 65 feet from principal residentialstructures on neighboring properties, and vehicle laneways used to access adevelopment site must be setback 30 feet from principal residential structureson neighboring properties. Additionally, trees are required along all propertylines, with additional trees required along areas abutting residential uses.These restrictions are intended to minimize the impact of new development,while also allowing light industrial uses to come into the area.
In addition to the general development standards, the JordanRiver has a 300-foot buffer from the annual high-water line. The first 100 feetis a strict no-disturbance buffer, and no construction or developmentactivities will be permitted in this area. The remaining 200 feet of the bufferarea (the area between 100-300 feet) is designated as the Transitional BufferArea. This allows the buffer width to be reduced in some areas if a greaterbuffer is provided elsewhere. The modified buffer must maintain the totalrequired buffer area, foot for foot, and must be contiguous with theNo-Disturbance Buffer.
Design Standards
Design standards are intended to make new developments morecompatible with the area and reduce negative impacts. Key proposed standardsinclude limiting building façade lengths to 250 feet along 2200 West andrestricting blank wall segments to a maximum of 25 feet. Building materials shouldbe compatible with the natural environment, using brick, natural stone, wood,and specific types of concrete, while prohibiting exterior plastic vinyl sidingand reflective materials. Roofs must have light-reflective materials tomitigate the heat island effect, and bird-safe glass treatments are requiredfor buildings with significant glass surfaces. Additionally, dark sky lightingstandards are proposed to prevent light pollution, fence guidelines promotewildlife-friendly designs, and stormwater regulations for retention and detention.These measures collectively promote aesthetically sensitive development withinthe area.
Modification of Standards
The proposed M-1A zone allows for modifications to standards suchas lot size, building facade length, or building footprint size in exchange forproviding natural open space, green infrastructure, stormwater managementpractices, or other site enhancements. Any land used for these modificationsmust have a restrictive covenant recorded, specifying that the land isvoluntarily preserved for this purpose. Land used to allow one modificationcannot be counted toward another modification.
To modify the maximum lot area or building facade length,additional on-site open space must be preserved. However, to modify the maximumbuilding footprint, the petitioner must choose from a list of options includingsustainable roof options, EV vehicle stalls, open space, creation of publicamenities, enhanced stormwater retention and detention, or pursuing anall-electric property.
Land Uses
The proposed permitted and conditional land uses are intended toreflect the small area plan’s call for an integration of light industrial andmanufacturing uses with the existing residential and agricultural properties.The land use table is significantly pared down from the M-1 Light IndustrialZoning District, excluding many uses that would be inappropriate for the area.Additionally, several uses are designated as conditional to ensure they areevaluated on a case-by-case basis, allowing for appropriate mitigation measuresto be considered. Two primary land uses that are prohibited to maintain thevision of the area plan and reduce the impact on residents are Package DeliveryService and Distribution Centers. These uses are impactful because they can generatesignificant truck and delivery vehicle traffic, leading to traffic congestion,noise pollution, and decreased air quality. By prohibiting these uses, theproposed zoning aims to ensure the sustainable development of the area.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW: The Planning Commission held apublic hearing on June 12, 2024, to review the proposed text amendment andunanimously forwarded a positive recommendation of approval to the CityCouncil. In the motion, the Planning Commission requested that any land useinvolving hazardous waste or medical waste be prohibited. Planning Staffreviewed the land use table and confirmed that such uses are not proposed inthe current proposal. A Bio-Medical Facility is listed as a permitted use butthe use does not include the handling or processing of medical or hazardouswaste and is designated for research purposes. Hazardous Waste Processing orStorage and Incinerator Medical Waste/Hazardous Waste are prohibited in theproposed zone.
Will the City Council need to hold a public hearing for this item?*
Yes
No
Public Process
The following is a list of public meetings that have been held, and other public input opportunities, related to the proposed project since the application was submitted:

the development site that describes the area that is being voluntarily restricted to 160
modify a zoning standard. 161
3. Land used to allow one modification may not be counted toward allowing another 162
modification. 163
4. Allowed modifications: 164
a. Maximum Lot Area: Approval for lots larger than 10 acres may be granted, 165
provided the buildings and structures are grouped and comply with the 166
following standards: 167
i. The cluster development shall be a minimum of 10 acres. 168
ii. A minimum separation of 15 feet shall be provided between all principal 169
buildings. 170
iii. A minimum of 20% of the area of the lot to be modified is designated as 171
natural open space on the development site, as defined in Section 172
21A.62.040. Natural open space shall, to the greatest extent possible, be 173
contiguous. Fragmented and disconnected small areas scattered 174

Can we also add an amendment for noise decibels exceeding 55db? No Jake brakes etc.
"Any noise exceeding 70 dB is considered disturbing. Residential limits usually
start at 60 or 55 dB (the equivalent noise of a regular vacuum cleaner). Time
limits usually apply after 10 pm and until 7 am."

Thank you for the reply. Sorry it took me so long to respond. Where do we send our input?
I'd like to have an amendment in the M3 zone that does not allow commercial businesses to use
private roads and also to note that no rezone of an "island" of commercial property to exist to help
to insulate us residents from living in an industrial park or as someone said "trucker's ghetto".

Hi Robert,
The May 15th deadline is kind of confusing. It really just means that we are not allowed to take this to the
Planning Commission for a recommendation before that date and must give the public at least until then
to review the materials and provide comments. We will accept public input at any point throughout the
process. Right now, I am expecting that the item will go before the Planning Commission at their June
12th meeting. They will make a recommendation to the City Council, who will also hold their own public
hearings.
I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Thank you for making another meeting for the M-3 zoning draft, but isn't the deadline for public
input the day before on May 15th?

Subject: Northpoint M-3 Zoning Open House #2
Hello,
Thank you to all those who attended the open house on April 23rd and shared your feedback and
comments on the draft Northpoint M-3 Light Industrial Zone. We appreciate your input.
Due to conflicting schedules with another community meeting, we know that some interested residents
and community members were unable to attend. We have set up a second open house to give another
opportunity to learn about the proposal, ask questions, and give your feedback. The second open house
will be held Thursday, May 16th, from 6:00 – 7:00 PM at the Mosquito Abatement District located at
2215 N 2200 W.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I have also attached the draft Northpoint M-3 zone for
your reference.
Sincerely,
KRISSY GILMORE
