The applicant is specifically requesting the following information: 1. If the subject property is recognized by Salt Lake City as a legal noncomplying lot per 21A.38.060. 2. A written summary of what uses may be permitted at this property by zoning. 3. The planning processes required to redevelop the property. DECISION: The Zoning Administrator finds that the subject property located at approximately 655 N Bonneville Blvd. is recognized as a legal lot and may be developed with use allowed in the zone. The subject property may be developed in accordance with the provisions of Salt Lake City Code Title 21A Zoning, and any other applicable reviews and permits required from other city divisions. FINDINGS: Parcel Details The subject property is located in the OS, Open Space Zoning District, the H Historic Preservation Overlay zoning district and City Creek Canyon/Memory Grove Local Historic District, and the Groundwater Source Protection Overlay District (Attachment 1). The subject property has a lot area of approximately .4 acres or 19,511 square feet (Attachment 2). The property complies with the minimum standards of the OS zoning district as the zone does not consist of minimum lot area or lot width requirements. The current description is as follows (abbreviated): BEG S 252.5 FT FR NW COR LOT 3, BLK 185, PL D, SLC SUR; E 165 FT; S 118.25 FT; W 165 FT; N 118.25 FT TO BEG. Parcel History The subject property was located within Block 185 of the Panorama Subdivision (Attachment 3) which was created in February 1889 and vacated by Salt Lake City in December 1995. The current parcel configuration was created when the Panorama Subdivision was vacated in 1995. The parcel configuration consists of Lots 2, 3, and 4 of Block 185 within the vacated Panorama Subdivision, ½ (39.25 FT) of the vacated 13th Avenue right of way abutting Lot 2 on the south, and ½ (10 FT) of the vacated midblock alley abutting Lots 2, 3, and 4 on the east (Attachment 4 Atlas Plat). Salt Lake County records indicate Lots 2, 3, and 4 of Block 185 were often owned and sold together through the 1900’s. In November 1964, portions of 13 th Avenue and C Street within the Panorama Subdivision were vacated by Salt Lake City including the portion of 13 th Avenue abutting the southern boundary of Lot 2 in Block 185 (Attachment 5). On April 24, 1989, the majority of the subject property was deeded from Wallace B. Gatrell and Ruth J. Gatrell to Wallace B. Gatrell and Ruth B. Gatrell, Trustees of the Gatrell Family Trust (Attachment 6). The property was described as follows: LOTS 2, 3, & 4 PANORAMA SUB OF BLK 185 PLAT D, TOGETHER WITH A ½ VACATED STREET ABUTTING ON S. The legal description is consistent with the City’s 1990 parcel map as shown in Attachment 7. The Panorama subdivision was vacated by Salt Lake City in December 1995 (Attachment 8). When the subdivision was vacated, ½ of the abutting midblock alley was added to the property described in the 1989 deed. The consolidation created one 19,511 square foot parcel representing the current parcel configuration. The subject property was zoned OS, Open Space when the parcel was created in December 1995. The City approved the creation of the subject parcel when the City vacated the Panorama subdivision in December 1995, therefore the Zoning Administrator recognizes the lot as a legal lot. Per city code 21A.36.020.A, the lot can be approved for any permitted or conditional use allowed in the Open Space Zoning District. Open Space Zoning District Uses The permitted and conditional land uses for the Open Space zone are listed in City code 21A.33.070 Table of Permitted and Conditional Uses for Special Purpose Districts. The OS zone generally allows a variety of indoor and outdoor uses related to parks, recreation, gardens, and agriculture. The zone also conditionally allows a variety of uses including reception centers, and lodging quarters for care taker or security guard, subject to the regulations for conditional uses listed in City Code 21A.54 Conditional Uses. Future Development of the Property The subject property may be developed in accordance with the provisions of Salt Lake City Code Title 21A Zoning, and any other applicable reviews and permits required from other city divisions. Any proposed development must comply with the standards of the OS zoning district found in 21A.32.100. As the property is located in the H Historic Preservation Overlay zoning district, any new development on site is subject to the regulations in City Code 21A.34.020. The subject site also does not have and has never had access to an improved public street. Development of the property will be subject to meeting the requirements of 21A.44 Off Street Parking, Mobility, and Loading. If you have any questions regarding this interpretation, please contact Brooke Olson at (801) 535-7118 or by email at brooke.olson@slc.gov.
