Background/Discussion (?)
Salt Lake City has received a request for a zoning text amendment from Greg Beecher, who represents Delta Airlines.The amendment would amend the zoning ordinance in the M-1 zoning district in the Salt Lake City International Center to allow for a permitted increase in the height of front yard fences from four feet to a maximum of six feet.The Salt Lake City International Center will have its boundaries defined within this proposed text amendment as the following:
Boundaries are west of 4000 West, north of I-80, properties east of John Glenn Drive (including properties that front on John Glenn Drive on both the east and west sides of said drive), and south of John Cannon Drive (including properties that front on John Cannon Drive on both the north and south sides of said drive).
Currently, front yard fencing between the front property line and the primary façade of the principal structure on a property in the M-1 (Light Manufacturing) Zoning District cannot exceed four feet.
The applicant would like to amend the ordinance to allow a six-foot fence in the front yard setback of their newly constructed training facility. The facility will need a taller fence around the principal building to secure the patrons,
building, and parking area.
Other property owners in the area have requested height increases for front yard fences through the variance process. However, fence height does not meet the standards for hardship and has therefore been denied.
Public Process:Early Notification - On July 22, 2024, the Jordan Meadows Community Council Chair was sent the 45-day required notice for recognized community organizations. The Council did not comment on this request. On July 25, 2024, a notice of the proposal was mailed to all property owners and tenants within 300 feet of the property. An online open house was posted on the Planning Division’s website from July 30 until the present.
Planning Commission Meeting - The Planning Commission heard the petition on September 25, 2024. The Planning Commission voted 5 to 1 to recommend the City Council adopt the proposed zoning text amendment
