SALT LAKE CITY ORDINANCE
No. 15 of 2012
(An ordinance enacting temporary land use regulations
for areas on and adjacent to portions of 400 South Street)
An ordinance enacting temporary land use regulations for areas on and adjacent to 400
South Street between approximately 200 East and approximately 900 East to accommodate the
implementation of the city's transit-oriented land use planning efforts.
WHEREAS, section 10-9a-504 of the Utah Code allows cities, without a public hearing,
to enact ordinances establishing temporary land use regulations for any part or all of a
municipality if the municipality's legislative body makes a finding of compelling, countervailing
public interest; and
WHEREAS, section 10-9a-504 of the Utah Code allows a municipality in a temporary
land use regulation to prohibit or regulate the erection, construction, reconstruction or alteration
of any building or structure; and
WHEREAS, Salt Lake City Corporation (the "city") is presently engaged in transit-
oriented land use planning activities for the 400 South corridor between approximately 200 East
and 900 East; and
WHEREAS, such land use planning efforts are critical to the vitality and livability of that
area of the city; and
WHEREAS, significant time and financial resources have been apportioned and
expended by the city and its partners in this planning effort; and
WHEREAS, any development within the 400 South transit corridor as generally depicted
in Exhibit"A" that is inconsistent with the city's intended land use program for that area could
nullify the effectiveness of the city's planning efforts and the wide-reaching benefits of such
efforts; and
WIIEREAS, the subject portion of 400 South Street and its adjacent areas are particularly
unique for such land use planning efforts because of the fixed transit light rail infrastructure
located within the 400 South corridor, and such areas are critical to the effectiveness of the city's
transportation system and its economic stability; and
WHEREAS, the existing zoning regulations are not capable of creating the desired
development patterns along the 400 South corridor; and
WHEREAS, the city finds that the need to implement effective transit-oriented land use
regulations in the areas identified herein and the need to protect the resources designated and
expended on this project constitutes a compelling, countervailing public interest which justifies a
temporary land use regulation; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of Salt Lake City ("city council") finds that the city's
interest in adopting these temporary land use regulations outweighs any private interest in
developing under existing standards in the subject area.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it ordained by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah:
SECTION 1. Finding of compelling, counterveiling public interest. Pursuant to section
10-9a-504 of the Utah Code, the city council expressly finds that the risk of a long term
detrimental impact upon the community resulting from the potential approval of development
inconsistent with its present land use planning efforts for areas in the 400 South transit corridor
(on and adjacent to 400 South Street) between approximately 200 East Street and 900 East Street
as depicted on Exhibit"A" hereto, would threaten the city's efforts to implement necessary
transit-oriented land use and development regulations in that area of the city and constitutes a
compelling,countervailing public interest sufficient to justify these temporary land use
regulations.
SECTION 2. Balancing of Public vs.Private Interests. The city council further finds
that any harm to private interests is de minimus and is outweighed by the city's interest in
maintaining the quality and character of the community while the city council reviews and
evaluates specific proposals for changes to the existing zoning regulations in areas on and
adjacent to 400 South Street between approximately 200 East Street and 900 East Street,as those
areas arc depicted in Exhibit"A",attached hereto.
SECTION 3. Temporary zoning regulations;boundaries. Notwithstanding any other
ordinance which the city council may have adopted which may provide otherwise,during the
period of this temporary land use regulation,all parcels of land situated on and adjacent to 400
South Street between approximately 200 East Street and 900 East Street,as identified in Exhibit
"A"hereto,shall be subject to the requirements of the TSA(Transit Station Area)zoning district
as set forth in section 21A.26.078 of the Salt Lake City Code and shall be treated as if the city's
zoning map designated such parcels as within the TSA zoning district,except as described in
section 4 below. The entire parcel of properties affected by this temporary land use ordinance
shall be subject to its requirements and all land use applications for development in the affected
areas shall be processed accordingly.
SECTION 4. Exceptions. The requirements of the TSA zoning district shall apply to
the affected areas described in section 3 herein,except that the setback requirements set forth in
sections 21A.26.078.G.2.b(3)and 21A.26.078.G.2.b(4)shall also apply to parcels adjacent to
any of the RMF(Residential Multi-family)zoning districts,but shall not apply to parcels
adjacent to any of the R-MU(Residential/Mixed Use)zoning districts.
SECTION 5. Duration. These temporary land use regulations shall remain in effect for
a period of six(6)months from the effective date of this ordinance,or until the effective date of
the city council's action adopting revisions to the city's land use regulations pertaining to the
areas identified above,whichever occurs first.
SECTION 6. Effective date. This ordinance shall become effective upon publication.
Passed by the City Council of Salt Lake City,Utah,this 27 day of March,2012.
