SUBJECT: Text Amendment - Zoning Incentives for Adaptive Reuse and Preservation of
Buildings
STAFF CONTACT: Amy Thompson, Planning Manager
amy.thompsongaslcgov.com or 801-535-7281
DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Ordinance as recommended by the Planning Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: This is a petition that was initiated by Mayor Erin Mendenhall to
make changes to the zoning ordinance to both encourage and support the adaptive reuse and
preservation of buildings. As the Salt Lake Valley continues to grow, the City's older neighborhoods
and buildings face increasing pressure for redevelopment, presenting both challenges and
opportunities. This proposal addresses barriers that currently prevent the reuse of existing buildings
and introduces incentives into the zoning ordinance to encourage buildings to be retained rather
than demolished. The proposed amendments would apply citywide.

P.O. BOX 145486, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5486 TEL 801.535.6230 FAX 801.535.6005
To assist in developing the amendments, planning staff conducted research on several cities that
have adopted ordinances that offer incentives for adaptive reuse and preservation of existing
buildings. Key features that were researched include location of the program (certain
neighborhoods, specific zones, etc.), eligibility criteria, goals, and the types of incentives offered.
Additionally, a focus group was created to help staff better understand current challenges and
barriers to utilizing existing buildings. The focus group was largely made up of architects and
developers, some of which have specific experience with these types of projects.
Additionally, staff worked closely with the City's Sustainability Division and Economic
Development/Business Development on the proposal.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS:
The proposed ordinance changes would be in Chapter 21A.52, Zoning Incentives. The proposal creates
a new section within that chapter, `Building Preservation Incentives", which is separated into two sub-
sections, "Adaptive Reuse for Additional Uses in Eligible Buildings" (21A.52.060.A), and
"Preservation of a Principal Building" (21A.52.060.B). Each sub -section is discussed in greater detail
below.
Adaptive Reuse for Additional Uses in Eligible Buildings — 21A.52.060.A ("A Incentives")
The "A Incentives" are primarily a use incentive to allow for flexibility of uses in eligible
buildings, which usually include buildings that hold high artistic, historic, or cultural value, or large
underutilized structures that are part of the neighborhood fabric. The current zoning ordinance for
adaptive reuse of a landmark site allows nonresidential use of a landmark site in a residential zoning
district, subject to meeting standards related to preserving building character and
neighborhood compatibility. The proposed ordinance expands on this current process with the
following changes:
• Broadens eligibility to include buildings that are individually listed on the National Register
of Historic Places, buildings formerly used for churches, schools, or hospitals, and other
culturally or historically significant buildings.
• Allows residential uses in addition to the nonresidential uses already allowed through
this process. Additionally, the proposal would allow for residential uses in eligible buildings
in the Public Lands (PL) and Institutional (I) zones where the only residential use currently
allowed is living quarters for a caretaker or security guard.
• Prohibit certain uses. Impactful uses were identified as prohibited because of their potential
for negative impacts on the surrounding neighborhood and to the eligible building.
• Removes minimum square footage requirement. The current building square footage
minimum of 7,000 square feet is a significant obstacle to qualify for adaptive reuse incentives.
Preservation of a Principal Building — 21A.52.060.B ("B Incentives")
The "B Incentives" apply to the eligible building being preserved and can also apply to any
new construction on the same development site. In contrast to the "A Incentives," this incentive is not
a use incentive; these "B Incentives" are zoning modifications to the base zoning requirements
for uses allowed in the zone. Projects that utilize the incentives in this subsection will be required to
adhere to specific design standards for the new construction, retain existing active commercial uses
on site, and enter into a restrictive covenant ensuring the eligible building used to qualify for the
incentives is retained for at least 30 years.
Eligibility: The "B Incentives apply to new development projects that preserve a building that is
at least 50 years old and covers a minimum of 25% of the development site; a lower percentage may
be considered in certain circumstances.
Summary of `B Incentives"
• Removes the planned development requirement for modifications that are commonly
requested through this process but are generally straightforward such as creating lots without
street frontage and having buildings on the same parcel without all buildings having public
street frontage.
• Includes the addition of an Administrative Planned Development process for
certain zoning modifications to allow for a more streamlined review process for eligible
proj ects.
• Removes minimum lot area and width requirements for all zones except single family
zoning districts.
• Includes additional building height in various zoning districts through administrative
design review. Currently, there is no height incentive being offered in the single, two-family
and RMF zoning districts.
• Reduces parking for eligible projects.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR CITY COUNCIL
Both the Historic Landmark Commission and Planning Commission held public hearings to
review the proposed text amendment and unanimously forwarded a positive recommendation of
approval to the City Council. Following these recommendations, staff identified the following
for Council consideration.
• "B Incentive" Building Age Eligibility — The draft ordinance presented at the public
hearings includes language that eligible buildings must be a minimum of 50 years old.
Some planning commissioners expressed concerns with a rolling date and the ability for
later period buildings (1980's/1990's) to become eligible for the incentives in the near
future — typically, the development pattern of later eras may not be something worth
preserving. Instead of the eligibility language "at least 50 years old," the council could
consider fixed date language that requires eligible buildings to be built prior to 1976.
• Design Standards for New Construction Utilizing the "B Incentives" — Unless a
stricter design standard is required in the Design Standards chapter for the zoning district
the property is located in, projects utilizing the incentives have to meet specific design
standards outlined in the proposed ordinance. Staff is recommending some additional
changes to the following design standards in the proposal:
o Upper Floor Glass — The draft ordinance reviewed by the planning commission
requires the surface area of the facade of each floor to contain a minimum of 50%
glass, which can be reduced on the ground level for residential uses to 25%. After
looking at this closer, staff is of the opinion that the 50% threshold is too high for
the upper levels of the building. Currently, only the Downtown zones and the
Gateway Mixed Use (GMU) zones have an upper -level glass requirement of 50%
and it is difficult for projects in those zones to meet the existing requirement
without a request for a design review modification. The CG zone requires 25%, the
FB-UN and RMF-30 zones require 15%, and the rest of the zones do not have an
upper floor glass requirement. Staff is recommending reducing the upper floor
glazing requirement to 20% for projects that use the incentives. Zones that have a
higher % requirement in the Design Standards Chapter (21A.37) will still be subject
to the higher standard. Staff is also recommending adding some clarifying language,
so the glass requirements are consistent with the design standards chapter regarding
the location of ground floor glass (between 3-8 FT on the building) and
unobstructed visibility into the space.
o Building Entrances — Added language to the building entrances design standard
to address that entry features (un-enclosed entry porch, portico, awning or
canopy, or emphasized doorway) for required building entrances need to meet the
description in 21A.37.050.P for these entry features.
The above recommendations are reflected in ordinance version 2 if the Council decides they
would like these changes incorporated. If the Council does not want these changes incorporated,
they have been left out of ordinance version 1.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
Open House: On April 17, 2023, a virtual open house page was created on Planning's website

Re: Initiate Petition to Amend Text in the Zoning Ordinance to Establish Regulations for the Adaptive
Reuse of Buildings
The Planning Division is requesting that you initiate a petition directing the Planning Division to make
changes to the zoning ordinance to support adaptive reuse of existing buildings. The overall purpose of
these zoning changes is to support and implement existing City plans and policies related to housing,
historic preservation, sustainability and economic development.
Adaptive reuse is both a sustainable practice and a vital a planning tool that aids in meeting the City's
various goals. The adaptive reuse of an existing structure retains a buildings original form while
bypassing wasteful demolition. This process keeps substantial amounts of materials out of landfills and
reduces energy consumption. Additionally, preserving these buildings which are often times historic or
contain elements of unique architectural detailing, helps maintain neighborhood character and
breathes new life into buildings that contribute to neighborhood fabric. Adaptive reuse allows existing
buildings to serve our community for generations to come while continuing to tell the story of those
who came before us.
As part of this petition the Planning Division will work with Sustainability to find ways to improve the
function and performance of existing buildings to reduce their environmental impact in exchange for
relaxing or modifying zoning regulations that may deter or prohibit the reuse of existing buildings.
The purpose of this zoning text amendment is to:
• Create a mechanism to allow for the adaptive reuse of buildings while maintaining and
protecting the neighborhood's historic built form and character;
• Identify City codes and policies that effectively serve as barriers to the adaptive reuse of
existing buildings;
• Identify a process for reviewing adaptive reuse projects; and,
• Identify possible incentives for projects that include an adaptive reuse component such
as modifications to setbacks, height, density, parking, lot width and lot coverage.
As part of the process, the Planning Division will follow the City adoption process for zoning text
amendments, which includes citizen input and public hearings with the Historic Landmark
Commission, Planning Commission and City Council. Changes will be made to Title 21A: Zoning
Ordinance but other chapters within the city code may also be changed if identified as necessary.

Hello,
I'm writing on behalf of SLC Neighbors for More Neighbors to express our comments on
items on tonight's agenda. I have written out each of our comments below to correspond with
each agenda item that we would like to submit comments on:
1) Parking Text Amendment: PLNPCM2023-00646
SLC Neighbors for More Neighbors strongly supports this proposal and encourages the
planning commission to approve the proposal. Salt Lake City continues to need more housing,
and the parking amendment is a way of preserving existing housing stock and preventing the
creation of more unnecessary parking. In short, the proposal prioritizes people over parking
and reflects our shared values.
2) Adaptive Reuse Text Amendment: PLNPCM2023-00155
SLC Neighbors for More Neighbors strongly supports the proposed adaptive reuse text
amendments and thanks the planning staff for their comprehensive approach to the issue.
Older buildings contribute to the culture, health, and vitality of neighborhoods. The proposal is
thoughtfully crafted in a way that will provide new housing opportunities and types while also
enhancing Salt Lake City's built environment. We encourage the planning commission to
approve the proposal.
Thanks for the opportunity to weigh in and for all of your work.

STAFF CONTACT: Amy Thompson, Planning Manager

DOCUMENT TYPE: Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Ordinance as recommended by the Planning Commission.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: This is a petition that was initiated by Mayor Erin Mendenhall to
make changes to the zoning ordinance to both encourage and support the adaptive reuse and
preservation of buildings. As the Salt Lake Valley continues to grow, the City's older neighborhoods
and buildings face increasing pressure for redevelopment, presenting both challenges and
opportunities. This proposal addresses barriers that currently prevent the reuse of existing buildings
and introduces incentives into the zoning ordinance to encourage buildings to be retained rather
than demolished. The proposed amendments would apply citywide.

P.O. BOX 145486, SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84114-5486 TEL 801.535.6230 FAX 801.535.6005
To assist in developing the amendments, planning staff conducted research on several cities that
have adopted ordinances that offer incentives for adaptive reuse and preservation of existing
buildings. Key features that were researched include location of the program (certain
neighborhoods, specific zones, etc.), eligibility criteria, goals, and the types of incentives offered.
Additionally, a focus group was created to help staff better understand current challenges and
barriers to utilizing existing buildings. The focus group was largely made up of architects and
developers, some of which have specific experience with these types of projects.
Additionally, staff worked closely with the City's Sustainability Division and Economic
Development/Business Development on the proposal.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED AMENDMENTS:
The proposed ordinance changes would be in Chapter 21A.52, Zoning Incentives. The proposal creates
a new section within that chapter, `Building Preservation Incentives", which is separated into two sub-
sections, "Adaptive Reuse for Additional Uses in Eligible Buildings" (21A.52.060.A), and
"Preservation of a Principal Building" (21A.52.060.B). Each sub -section is discussed in greater detail
below.
Adaptive Reuse for Additional Uses in Eligible Buildings — 21A.52.060.A ("A Incentives")
The "A Incentives" are primarily a use incentive to allow for flexibility of uses in eligible
buildings, which usually include buildings that hold high artistic, historic, or cultural value, or large
underutilized structures that are part of the neighborhood fabric. The current zoning ordinance for
adaptive reuse of a landmark site allows nonresidential use of a landmark site in a residential zoning
district, subject to meeting standards related to preserving building character and
neighborhood compatibility. The proposed ordinance expands on this current process with the
following changes:
• Broadens eligibility to include buildings that are individually listed on the National Register
of Historic Places, buildings formerly used for churches, schools, or hospitals, and other
culturally or historically significant buildings.
• Allows residential uses in addition to the nonresidential uses already allowed through
this process. Additionally, the proposal would allow for residential uses in eligible buildings
in the Public Lands (PL) and Institutional (I) zones where the only residential use currently
allowed is living quarters for a caretaker or security guard.
• Prohibit certain uses. Impactful uses were identified as prohibited because of their potential
for negative impacts on the surrounding neighborhood and to the eligible building.
• Removes minimum square footage requirement. The current building square footage
minimum of 7,000 square feet is a significant obstacle to qualify for adaptive reuse incentives.
Preservation of a Principal Building — 21A.52.060.B ("B Incentives")
The "B Incentives" apply to the eligible building being preserved and can also apply to any
new construction on the same development site. In contrast to the "A Incentives," this incentive is not
a use incentive; these "B Incentives" are zoning modifications to the base zoning requirements
for uses allowed in the zone. Projects that utilize the incentives in this subsection will be required to
adhere to specific design standards for the new construction, retain existing active commercial uses
on site, and enter into a restrictive covenant ensuring the eligible building used to qualify for the
incentives is retained for at least 30 years.
Eligibility: The "B Incentives apply to new development projects that preserve a building that is
at least 50 years old and covers a minimum of 25% of the development site; a lower percentage may
be considered in certain circumstances.
Summary of `B Incentives"
• Removes the planned development requirement for modifications that are commonly
requested through this process but are generally straightforward such as creating lots without
street frontage and having buildings on the same parcel without all buildings having public
street frontage.
• Includes the addition of an Administrative Planned Development process for
certain zoning modifications to allow for a more streamlined review process for eligible
proj ects.
• Removes minimum lot area and width requirements for all zones except single family
zoning districts.
• Includes additional building height in various zoning districts through administrative
design review. Currently, there is no height incentive being offered in the single, two-family
and RMF zoning districts.
• Reduces parking for eligible projects.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR CITY COUNCIL
Both the Historic Landmark Commission and Planning Commission held public hearings to
review the proposed text amendment and unanimously forwarded a positive recommendation of
approval to the City Council. Following these recommendations, staff identified the following
for Council consideration.
• "B Incentive" Building Age Eligibility — The draft ordinance presented at the public
hearings includes language that eligible buildings must be a minimum of 50 years old.
Some planning commissioners expressed concerns with a rolling date and the ability for
later period buildings (1980's/1990's) to become eligible for the incentives in the near
future — typically, the development pattern of later eras may not be something worth
preserving. Instead of the eligibility language "at least 50 years old," the council could
consider fixed date language that requires eligible buildings to be built prior to 1976.
• Design Standards for New Construction Utilizing the "B Incentives" — Unless a
stricter design standard is required in the Design Standards chapter for the zoning district
the property is located in, projects utilizing the incentives have to meet specific design
standards outlined in the proposed ordinance. Staff is recommending some additional
changes to the following design standards in the proposal:
o Upper Floor Glass — The draft ordinance reviewed by the planning commission
requires the surface area of the facade of each floor to contain a minimum of 50%
glass, which can be reduced on the ground level for residential uses to 25%. After
looking at this closer, staff is of the opinion that the 50% threshold is too high for
the upper levels of the building. Currently, only the Downtown zones and the
Gateway Mixed Use (GMU) zones have an upper -level glass requirement of 50%
and it is difficult for projects in those zones to meet the existing requirement
without a request for a design review modification. The CG zone requires 25%, the
FB-UN and RMF-30 zones require 15%, and the rest of the zones do not have an
upper floor glass requirement. Staff is recommending reducing the upper floor
glazing requirement to 20% for projects that use the incentives. Zones that have a
higher % requirement in the Design Standards Chapter (21A.37) will still be subject
to the higher standard. Staff is also recommending adding some clarifying language,
so the glass requirements are consistent with the design standards chapter regarding
the location of ground floor glass (between 3-8 FT on the building) and
unobstructed visibility into the space.
o Building Entrances — Added language to the building entrances design standard
to address that entry features (un-enclosed entry porch, portico, awning or
canopy, or emphasized doorway) for required building entrances need to meet the
description in 21A.37.050.P for these entry features.
The above recommendations are reflected in ordinance version 2 if the Council decides they
would like these changes incorporated. If the Council does not want these changes incorporated,
they have been left out of ordinance version 1.
PUBLIC PROCESS:
Open House: On April 17, 2023, a virtual open house page was created on Planning's website

Re: Initiate Petition to Amend Text in the Zoning Ordinance to Establish Regulations for the Adaptive
Reuse of Buildings
The Planning Division is requesting that you initiate a petition directing the Planning Division to make
changes to the zoning ordinance to support adaptive reuse of existing buildings. The overall purpose of
these zoning changes is to support and implement existing City plans and policies related to housing,
historic preservation, sustainability and economic development.
Adaptive reuse is both a sustainable practice and a vital a planning tool that aids in meeting the City's
various goals. The adaptive reuse of an existing structure retains a buildings original form while
bypassing wasteful demolition. This process keeps substantial amounts of materials out of landfills and
reduces energy consumption. Additionally, preserving these buildings which are often times historic or
contain elements of unique architectural detailing, helps maintain neighborhood character and
breathes new life into buildings that contribute to neighborhood fabric. Adaptive reuse allows existing
buildings to serve our community for generations to come while continuing to tell the story of those
who came before us.
As part of this petition the Planning Division will work with Sustainability to find ways to improve the
function and performance of existing buildings to reduce their environmental impact in exchange for
relaxing or modifying zoning regulations that may deter or prohibit the reuse of existing buildings.
The purpose of this zoning text amendment is to:
• Create a mechanism to allow for the adaptive reuse of buildings while maintaining and
protecting the neighborhood's historic built form and character;
• Identify City codes and policies that effectively serve as barriers to the adaptive reuse of
existing buildings;
• Identify a process for reviewing adaptive reuse projects; and,
• Identify possible incentives for projects that include an adaptive reuse component such
as modifications to setbacks, height, density, parking, lot width and lot coverage.
As part of the process, the Planning Division will follow the City adoption process for zoning text
amendments, which includes citizen input and public hearings with the Historic Landmark
Commission, Planning Commission and City Council. Changes will be made to Title 21A: Zoning
Ordinance but other chapters within the city code may also be changed if identified as necessary.

Hello,
I'm writing on behalf of SLC Neighbors for More Neighbors to express our comments on
items on tonight's agenda. I have written out each of our comments below to correspond with
each agenda item that we would like to submit comments on:
1) Parking Text Amendment: PLNPCM2023-00646
SLC Neighbors for More Neighbors strongly supports this proposal and encourages the
planning commission to approve the proposal. Salt Lake City continues to need more housing,
and the parking amendment is a way of preserving existing housing stock and preventing the
creation of more unnecessary parking. In short, the proposal prioritizes people over parking
and reflects our shared values.
2) Adaptive Reuse Text Amendment: PLNPCM2023-00155
SLC Neighbors for More Neighbors strongly supports the proposed adaptive reuse text
amendments and thanks the planning staff for their comprehensive approach to the issue.
Older buildings contribute to the culture, health, and vitality of neighborhoods. The proposal is
thoughtfully crafted in a way that will provide new housing opportunities and types while also
enhancing Salt Lake City's built environment. We encourage the planning commission to
approve the proposal.
Thanks for the opportunity to weigh in and for all of your work.
Thank you,
