and allow for the development of lands in appropriate areas that contribute to the
future economic growth of the city and will not negatively impact sensitive lands,
habitats, and waterways in the area north of I-80 and west of the Salt Lake
International Airport. Sites within this area may be subject to difficult environmental
and site conditions. The overlay defines three subareas: the development area, the
eco-industrial buffer area, and the natural area.
2. Public Improvements and Dedications: The undeveloped land in the Northwest
Quadrant requires public improvements to ensure the long term development
potential and success of the area. All development subject to a site development or
building permit, shall be required to provide public improvements required by city
departments as outlined in their master plans.

commercial and private low power radio services. Low power radio services facilities
include "cellular" or"PCS" (personal communications system) communications and
paging systems.

1. Uses: The uses specified in Table 21A.40.090.E of this section, indicate which
facility types are allowed as either a permitted or conditional use within specific
zoning districts. Low power radio service facilities may be an accessory use,
secondary use or principal use.
a. Administrative Consideration of Conditional Uses: Applications for low power
wireless telecommunication facilities that are listed as conditional uses shall be
reviewed according to the procedures set forth in Section 21A.54.155 of this title.
