ADMINISTRATIVE INTERPRETATION
DECISION AND FINDINGS
PLNZAD2019-00319
REQUEST:
A request for an administrative interpretation regarding whether the property located at
approximately 738 S Green Street (Tax ID 16-07-232-023) is a legal noncomplying lot in
accordance with Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance. The applicant is also requesting for
clarification on what types of dwellings are allowed in the RMF-30 (Low Density Multi -Family
Residential) zoning district.
DECISION:
The Zoning Administrator finds that the subject property located at approximately 738 S Green
Street (Tax ID 16-07-232-023) is recognized by Salt Lake City as a legal noncomplying lot. Based
on the existing lot size, a single-family detached dwelling may be constructed on the property
subject to the requirements of the RMF-30 zoning district, H Historic Preservation Overlay
District, and all applicable City laws, ordinances and standards.
FINDINGS:
The subject property is a vacant lot located in the RMF-30 zoning district and the Central City
Local Historic District. The property has a total lot area of approximately 5,662 square feet (0.13
acre), and a lot width of 41.25 feet. The RMF-30 zone requires a minimum lot area of 5,000
square feet and a minimum lot width of 50 feet for a detached single-family dwelling. The
subject property does not comply with the minimum lot width requirement of the RMF-30
zoning district. It is also regulated by the H Historic Preservation Overlay District found in
Section 21A.34.020.
Section 21A.38.o6o of the Salt Lake City Zoning Ordinance states the following regarding
noncomplying lots:
A lot that is noncomplying as to lot area or lotfrontage that was in legal existence on
the effective date of any amendment to this title that makes the existing lot
noncomplying shall be considered a legal complying lot and is subject to the
regulations of this title. Any noncomplying lot not approved by the city that was
created prior to January 13,195o, may be approved as a legal noncomplying lot
subject to the lot meeting minimum zoning requirements at the time the lot was created
and documented through an updated zoning certificate far the property.
The property was created prior to January 13, 1950. The subject parcel is described as an
individual lot in 1898. The subject parcel is described in a Deed (Entry No. 118459 in Book 5-J,
Pages 49-51, abstracted in book C-3, page 27, line 2) from Joseph Stay to Louisa Stay Woodbury
(Attachment 1). The property is described as follows:
Beginning at the south-west corner of said Lot Six (6), and running thence north two
and one-half (2-112) rods, thence east eight and one-half (8-112) rods; thence south two
and one-half (2-112) rods; thence west eight and one-half (8-112) rods to the place of
beginning, containing twenty-one and one-fourth (21-114) square rods of ground, with
the house and appurtenances.
Zoning regulations were first adopted by Salt Lake City in 1927. Prior to the established zoning
regulations, there were no city regulations on dimensional standards. As such, the lot was legally
created in 1898.
According to the Sanborn Fire Insurance Map for 1898, the subject property had a dwelling
(Attachment 3). However, there are no city records of when the demolition of the structure on
738 S Green Street took place. Therefore, any new construction is subject to the current zoning
regulations.
Based on the foregoing information, staff has determined that the City recognizes the subject
parcel located at approximately 738 S Green Street as a legal noncomplying lot. A legal
noncomplying lot may be developed for any dwelling types listed in the table of permitted and
conditional uses for the RMF-30 zoning district, subject to meeting applicable zoning
regulations (Attachment 4). As a legal noncomplying lot with the current lot size (5,662 square
feet), a single-family detached dwelling is allowed subject to all applicable development
standards of the RMF-30 zoning district and H Historic Preservation Overlay District standards.
