ADMINISTRATIVE INTERPRETATION
DECISION AND FINDINGS
PLNZAD2020-00795
REQUEST:
This is a request for an administrative interpretation to determine if the parcel located at
approximately 24 S 1000 E (Tax ID#16-05-128-009-0000) can be subdivided. There are two
existing single-family dwellings on the subject property.
DECISION:
The Zoning Administrator finds that an application for a subdivision of the subject parcel could
be submitted subject to approval of a Special Exception application. The Special Exception
application will be reviewed in accordance with the standards in section 21A.52.030.A.10 and
21A.52.060 of the Salt Lake City zoning ordinance. There may be other applicable approvals and
permits required from other city divisions.
FINDINGS:
The subject property is approximately 0.19 acres or 8,276 square feet and located in the R-2
(Single- and Two-Family Residential) zoning district. The R-2 zoning district requires a lot area
of 5,000 SF for a single-family dwelling. There are two single family dwellings on the subject
property. The structures on the property are noncomplying because the lot does not meet the
minimum lot area requirements (10,000 square feet) in 21A.24.110 for two detached single-family
dwellings. The rear structure on the property is also noncomplying because the structure does not
have frontage on a public street. There may be other aspects of the structures that are
noncomplying (such as setbacks, building footprint, etc.) however, information was not provided
with this interpretation application to identify other aspects of noncompliance at this time.
Noncomplying structures are subject to the provisions in section 21A.38.050 of the Salt Lake City
zoning ordinance.
Section 21A.52.030.10.A states the following regarding dividing the lot:
10. Dividing existing lots containing two (2) or more separate residential structures into
separate lots that would not meet lot size, frontage width or setbacks provided:
a. The residential structures for the proposed lot split already exist and were
constructed legally.
b. The planning director agrees and is willing to approve a subdivision application.
c. Required parking equal to the parking requirement that existed at the time that each
dwelling unit was constructed.
Salt Lake City permit records indicate the front structure on the property was constructed in 1907,
and the rear structure on the property was constructed in 1912. Both of the single-family dwellings
on the property were legally constructed prior to any Salt Lake City zoning laws. There were not
any parking requirements in 1907 or 1912 when the dwelling units were constructed.
APPEAL PROCESS:
An applicant or any other person or entity adversely affected by a decision administering or
interpreting this Title may appeal to the Appeals Hearing Officer. Notice of appeal shall be filed
within ten (10) days of the administrative decision. The appeal shall be filed with the Planning
Division and shall specify the decision appealed and the reasons the appellant claims the decision
to be in error. Applications for appeals are located on the Planning Division website at

applicable fee. Appeals may be filed in person at the Planning Counter, 451 South State Street,

NOTICE:
Please be advised that a determination finding a particular use to be a permitted use or a
conditional use shall not authorize the establishment of such use nor the development,
construction, reconstruction, alteration, or moving of any building or structure. It shall merely
authorize the preparation, filing, and processing of applications for any approvals and permits
that may be required by the codes and ordinances of the City including, but not limited to, a zoning
certificate, a building permit, and a certificate of occupancy, subdivision approval, and a site plan
approval.
