WHEREAS, in the decades since the City last comprehensively
rewrote the City' s zoning ordinance and redrew the City' s zoning
maps, the City, Salt Lake County, the State of Utah and the
United States have changed significantly in land-use development
and land-use planning policies and practices . These changes
include the following:
a. The City has more than doubled in geographic size,
taking in the Northwest Quadrant and new property in the
foothills and elsewhere;
b. Land which was vacant has now been developed or is
presently being considered for development;
C . The City' s daytime population has dramatically
increased as commuters travel from the expanded suburbs to
employment in the downtown core and to the University of Utah;
d. The City' s resident population has also fluctuated and
the distribution of the residential population has shifted as new
areas have been developed and the character of old areas changed;
e . The types of employment and the manner and times in
which such employment is performed have been altered by a
calculus of factors including technology, demographics and the
ever-changing world economy;
f . The areas surrounding the City have also changed in
character from primarily agricultural and small communities to
large suburban communities with their own commercial and
employment centers;
g. The pattern of retail shopping has been impacted by the
rise of regional shopping centers, strip malls, discount stores,

systems, have become more necessary;

development have changed on their own in response to the
inexorable and unpredictable movements and desires of developers,
business people and residents; and

zoning and development have been repeatedly modified by the
courts and the legislature; and
WHEREAS, over the intervening decades, the City has
attempted to deal piecemeal with the changes by modifying zoning
maps, amending zoning text, creating new zoning districts,
changing processes for development review and altering the
boundaries of districts; and
WHEREAS, in the early 1990 ' s, the City realized that

regulations of the district shall apply uniformly to all properties located within the
boundaries of the overlay district.
23-13.6 Changes to Approved Localized Alternative Sign Overlay Districts. An alternative
localized sign overlay district which has been properly established may be amended
or modified only upon submission and approval of another zoning amendment

(3) If strict compliance with the notice and order would have caused an
imminent and irreparable injury to persons or property.
(4) If the violation and inability to cure were both caused by a force
majeure event such as war,act of nature,strike or civil disturbance.
(5) Such other mitigating circumstances as may be approved by the
City Attorney or designee.
(6) If a change in the actual ownership of the property was recorded
with the Salt Lake County Recorder's office after the first or second

materials other than vegetation have been approved. Additional
Beautification Districts could be approved by the Planning
Commission. Areas where alternative parkway materials could be
considered include identifiable nonresidential areas. The
Beautification District concept is not intended to respond to one or
two properties but an identifiable district. The Beautification District
concept is not generally applicable to residential areas where a
predominant design theme consisting of vegetation has been
established.
(2) Noncomforming Provision: All vegetation located in Parkways prior
to November 5, 1992 may be maintained subject to a City
Transportation Division approval for sight distance and public way
safety requirements.
(3) 24"Wide Parkways: Due to the maintenance and irrigation difficulties
associated with narrow vegetated Parkways, impervious materials
including brick pavers, concrete pavers or concrete are permitted in
parkways less than or equal to twenty-four(24)inches wide. Asphalt
is not permitted.

REQUIRED PERIMETER PARKING LOT LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS
General Intent. The landscape requirements identified in Table 24-13, Required Perimeter Parking
Lot Landscape Improvements, provide for the enhancement of parking lots by recognizing two(2)
distinct conditions. The first is where parking lots are located within front and corner side yards,and
a uniform scheme of landscaping is required to protect the aesthetics along public streets. The
second condition is where parking lots are located within rear and interior side yards,and minimum
requirements for beautification of both residential and non-residential uses are the City's goal. The
intent is to require a higher level of landscaping for residential uses (principally multi-family uses)
than for non-residential uses. The improvements established in Table 24-B are required only for
parking lots with fifteen (15) or more spaces and where the lot is located within a required yard or
within twenty(20)feet of a lot line. The reduction of impacts between dissimilar uses is addressed by
Section 24-8. Where both parking lot landscaping and landscape buffers are required, the more
restrictive shall apply.
