SECTION 2. Amending text of Salt Lake Ciry Code Section 21A.27.030. That Section
21A.27.030.C.4 of the Salt Lake City Code (Zoning: Form Based Districts: Building
Configuration and Design Standards), shall be, and hereby is, amended to read as follows:
4. Additional Design Standards Required for the Form Based Districts (these standards do
not apply to the FB-UN1 zoning district):
a. The maximum length of any building façade facing a street is two hundred feet
(200').
b. Stepback Requirement: floors rising above thirty feet(30') in height shall be stepped
back fifteen (15) horizontal feet from the building foundation at grade for building
elevations that are adjacent to a public street,public trail, or public open space. This
stepback does not apply to buildings that have balconies on floors rising above 30 feet
in height.
c. For all floors or levels above the ground floor, a minimum of fifteen percent(15%) of
all street facing façades must be glass.
d. Second Floor Balconies and Patios: Commercial uses or businesses that face a
greenway corridor may have a second floor balcony or patio. Rooftops can be used
as patios and shall comply with all applicable zoning standards.
e. Ground Floor Uses: On the ground floor, a permitted use other than parking shall
occupy at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the width of any street-facing building
façade. All portions of such ground floor spaces shall extend a minimum of twenty-
five feet (25') into the structure of all building forms with the exception of row
houses,two-family dwellings, and cottage developments, which shall extend a
minimum of ten feet(10'). Parking may be located behind these spaces.
f. Design standards for parking structures: The following standards shall apply to
parking structure whether stand alone or incorporated into a building:
(1) Parking structures shall have an external skin designed to improve visual
character when adjacent to a public street or other public space. Examples
include heavy-gauge metal screen, precast concrete panels; live green or
landscaped walls, laminated or safety glass, decorative photovoltaic panels or
match the building materials and character of the principal use. The planning
director may approve other decorative materials not listed if the materials are in
keeping with the decorative nature of the parking structure.
(2) The architectural design of the façades should express the internal function of the
structure. Façade elements shall align to parking levels and there shall be no
sloped surfaces visible from a public street, public trail, or public open space.
5
(3) Internal circulation must be designed such that parking surfaces are level (or
without any slopes) along all primary façades. All ramping between levels need to
be placed along the secondary façade or to the center of the structure. Parking
structures shall be designed to conceal the view of all parked cars and drive ramps
from public spaces.
(4) Elevator and stairs shall be highlighted architecturally so visitors, internally and
externally, can easily access these entry points.
(5) Signage and way-finding shall be integrated with the architecture of the parking
structure and be architecturally compatible with the design. Public parking
structures entrances shall be clearly signed from public streets.
(6) Interior garage lighting shall not produce glaring sources towards adjacent
properties while providing safe and adequate lighting levels. The use of sensor
dimmable LEDs and white-stained ceilings are a good strategy to control light
levels on site while improving energy efficiency.
(7) Where a driveway crosses a public sidewalk,the driveway shall be a different
color, texture, or paving material than the sidewalk to warn drivers of the
possibility of pedestrians in the area.
(8) The street level facing façades of all parking structures shall be wrapped along all
street frontages with habitable space that is occupied by a use that is allowed in
the zone as a permitted or conditional use.
(9) Parking structures shall be designed to minimize vehicle noise and odors on the
public realm. Venting and fan locations shall not be located next to public spaces
and shall be located as far as possible from adjacent residential land uses.
SECTION 3. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall become effective on the date of its
first publication.
Passed by the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah this 5 day of
