Ordinance: Text Amendment Eliminating the Special Exception Process from the Zoning Ordinance	~ 4:15 p.m.
	20 min.
The Council will receive a briefing about a proposal that would delete and eliminate the special exception process from the zoning ordinance. A special exception is a minor alteration of a dimensional requirement of the zoning ordinance or addresses accessory uses and structures. The purpose of this proposal is to amend the zoning ordinance related to special exceptions to accomplish the following: Simplify the zoning ordinance by updating regulations and eliminating special exceptions; Reallocate staff resources away from processing land use applications that favor individual properties and towards updating zoning codes to align with adopted master plans; and, Increase predictability and reduce neighbor conflicts that are created by requests for exceptions to the zoning regulations; There are more than forty special exceptions authorized in the zoning ordinance. The proposal addresses each special exception and results in each special exception being deleted, permitted, or authorized through a different process in the zoning ordinance. Some special exceptions that will become permitted include changes to standards to add flexibility and reduce impacts. Special exceptions are approved by staff of the Planning Division, the Planning Commission, or Historic Landmark Commission. Related provisions of Title 21A-Zoning and Title 14 may be amended as part of this petition.

Ordinance: Administrative Decision Appeals Text Amendment	~ 4:35 p.m.
	20 min.
The Council will receive a briefing about a proposal that would amend the zoning ordinance pertaining to appeals of administrative decisions. Administrative decisions are those made by the Planning Commission, Historic Landmark Commission, or the Zoning Administrator in the administration of the zoning ordinance. The amendments primarily clarify what matters can be decided by the City's Appeals Hearing Officer, who can appeal decisions, and when an appeal can stay a decision, modify City Code to align with State law, related case law, and make other clarifications to the appeals chapter of the zoning ordinance, including: Clarify that the City Appeals Hearing Officer can only make decisions regarding the interpretation and application of provisions of Salt Lake City Code, not provisions regarding the interpretation and application of provisions of the Utah State Code, the Utah Constitution, Utah common law or federal law. Modify the list of allowed appellants to the land use applicant, City board or officer, or “an adversely affected party” to comply with new State Code. Eliminate automatic stays of decisions. An appellant would have to specifically request and justify a “stay” (a hold on further proceedings on a matter) when appealing an administrative decision. The proposed amendments affect Chapter 21A.16 of the zoning ordinance. Related provisions of Title 21A-Zoning may be amended as part of this petition.
