ADMINISTRATIVE INTERPRETATION
DECISION AND FINDINGS
PLNZAD2020-00406
REQUEST:
This is a request for an administrative interpretation to determine if the property located at
approximately 822 South Glendale Street (Tax ID#15-11-128-019-0000) is a legal lot, if the
existing garage structure on the subject lot is legal, and if a single-family dwelling can be
constructed on the subject property. The request is also for a determination of whether the
existing garage structure on the property is a legal structure and whether it may remain on the
site in the event of future construction of a single-family dwelling.
DECISION:
The Zoning Administrator finds that the property located at approximately 822 South Glendale
Street with the TAX ID#15-11-128-019-0000, is a legal lot and may be developed in accordance
with the provisions of the zoning district, the subject property is located in the R-1-5000 (Single
Family Residential) district, and other applicable reviews and permits required from other city
divisions. It is also found that the existing garage structure on the site, located at approximately
822 South Glendale Street, is a legal structure, having been approved through a Routine and
Uncontested and building permit. The existing garage structure may remain in the event of a
future construction of a single-family dwelling if the provisions of the R-1-5000 (Single Family
Residential) zoning district and other applicable reviews and permits required can be met.
FINDINGS:
The subject property, created through the J.H. Whalon Subdivision, is approximately .1722 acres
or 7,501 square feet and is located in the R-1-5000 (Single-Family Residential) zoning district.
The property also has approximately 49’ of frontage along Glendale street. The subject property
is a legal lot, having been subdivided in 1889 with the approval of the J.H. Whalon Subdivision
with the legal description:
THE N 23 FT OF LOT 4 & THE S 26 FT OF LOT 5, BLK 3, J H WHALON'S SUB. TOG WITH 1/2
VACATED ALLEY ABUTTING ON THE W.
As the subject property is a legal lot, a principal structure may be constructed on the site in
accordance with the R-1-5000 zoning district and Section 21A.24.060 of the Salt Lake City Zoning
Code and meeting all applicable requirements from other city divisions.
The existing accessory garage structure located on the subject property was approved through a
Routine and Uncontested (ZA 2179) review, this approval allowed for an approximately 1,020
square foot accessory garage. The Zoning Administrator Case was approved in 2006. The building
permit for the accessory garage structure was approved in 2006 with the Permit ID 202165. The
existing accessory garage is considered to be a legal noncomplying structure. Any changes to the
structure must comply with the underlying zoning district, R-1-5000 (Single-Family Residential)
and the Accessory Structure standards per Section 21A.40.050 of the Salt Lake City Zoning Code.
The existing noncomplying accessory garage structure located on the subject property may be
rebuilt in accordance to the standards located in Section 21A.38.050 of the Salt Lake City Zoning
Code. The existing accessory garage is a noncomplying structure, due to the absence of an existing
principal structure on the lot – a garage cannot be the principal structure in a Single-Family
Residential District. There may be other aspects of the structure that are noncomplying, however,
sufficient information was not provided with this application to identify other aspects of
noncompliance at this time.
