The changes aim to remove zoning barriers to multi-family housing developments in RMF-30 zoned areas of the City. Proposed changes include:

1. Introducing design standards for all new development
2. Allowing the construction of new building types including sideways row houses, cottage developments, and tiny houses
3. Reducing minimum lot area requirements per unit

Ordinance: Zoning Map Amendment for 402 and 416 East 900 South (Southeast Market)
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would rezone the parcels located at 402 and 416 East 900 South from RB (Residential/Business District) and CN (Neighborhood Commercial District) to CB (Community Business District). Currently, these parcels fall within two different zoning districts and the parcel at 416 East Street is “split zoned” both RB and CN. The applicants would like to rezone to one zone for consistency. No development plans have been submitted at this time. Although the applicant has requested that the property be rezoned to CB, consideration may be given to rezoning the property to another zoning district with similar characteristics. Petition No.: PLNPCM2018-01025
 

Ordinance: Amendments to Chapter 18.44 Fire Prevention and International Fire Code
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would modify Chapter 18.44 Fire Prevention Code to provide alternatives to the “proximity to building” requirements found in Appendix D section 503.1 of the International Fire Code. The proposed changes are intended to increase fire protection methods for developments that cannot meet the proximity requirements in the current code due to the location of the property line in relation to the street. The proposal is also intended to provide some flexibility for the Salt Lake City Fire Department in administering the International Fire Code when determining the distance range that an aerial fire access road can be from a building. Related sections of Title 18 – Buildings and Construction may also be amended as part of this petition. Petition No.: PLNPCM2019-00938 
 

Ordinance: Rezone and Master Plan Amendment at 261 North Redwood Road
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the zoning map and Master Plan for a property located at approximately 261 North Redwood Road. The applicant is requesting a Master Plan amendment to change the Northwest Community Future Land Use Plan designation from Low Density Residential to Medium Density Residential. The applicant is also requesting a rezone to change the entire parcel to RMF-35 (Moderate Density Multi-Family Residential) zoning district. Currently, the property is “split zoned” RMF-35 and R-1/5,000 (Single-family Residential District). The applicant states the rezone would allow them to redevelop the site with additional housing. Future development plans have not been submitted at this time. Consideration may be given to another zoning district with similar characteristics. Petition Nos.: PLNPCM2019-01086 and PLNPCM2019-01087
 

Ordinance: Rezone at 989 East 900 South 
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would rezone the east half of a property at 989 East 900 South from Residential/Business (RB) zoning district to Community Business (CB) zoning district. The property is currently “split zoned” with the west half of the property zoned CB and the east half zoned RB. The rezone to CB would make the property one consistent zone. The applicant is requesting the rezone for a potential business expansion and the existing zoning requirements are not conducive to the options they are considering. Consideration may be given to another zoning district with similar characteristics. Petition No.: PLNPCM2020-00126
 

Ordinance: Cemetery Master Plan 
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would approve the updated draft Master Plan for The Salt Lake City Cemetery. The City’s 120-acre cemetery is located in the Avenues neighborhood and opened officially in 1849. It is facing challenges similar to those experienced by other historic cemeteries, including dwindling capacity, limited expansion opportunities and funding challenges. The draft Master Plan includes ideas and recommendations to capitalize on the cemetery as a valuable community open space and provide recommendations to fund its deferred maintenance and perpetual care.
 

Ordinance: Rezone and Master Plan Amendment at 833 South 800 East (Telegraph Exchange Lofts)
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would amend the zoning map and future land use map for property located at 833 South 800 East. If approved, the property would be rezoned from R-2 (Single & Two-Family Residential) zoning designation to RMF-45 (Moderate/High-Density Multi-family Residential). The future land use map designation would change from “Low-Density Residential” to "Medium/High Density Residential." The applicant also owns the adjacent property at 847 East 800 South (the Telegraph Exchange Building). Under the proposal, the two properties would be consolidated into one parcel for the development of 23 residential units. Consideration may be given to another zoning district with similar characteristics. Petition Nos.: PLNPCM2019-01110 and PLNPCM2019-01111 
 

Ordinance: Demolition of Dangerous or Boarded Buildings
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting changes to the City’s Demolition ordinance. The proposed changes are intended to streamline the process for demolitions on commercial and residential properties, remove the requirement for a replacement use, landscape plan and bond, and provide clarity to the enforcement process for boarded buildings. Chapters 18.48, 18.64 and 2.21.030 of the Salt Lake City Code will be amended as part of this proposal.

*Note, a previous agenda occurrence incorrectly listed Chapter 18.84 instead of 18.48.
 

Ordinance: Early Notification Text Amendment
The Council will accept public comment and consider adopting an ordinance that would approve various changes to Salt Lake City Code relating to early notification of the public and recognized community organizations for land use projects.

Ordinance: Transportation Impact Fees Facilities Plan (IFFP) 
The Council will consider adopting an ordinance that would update the Transportation section of the City’s Impact Fees Facilities Plan (IFFP). The plan identifies fees for different land use types after an analysis of existing services levels, anticipated growth, and capital improvements to maintain service levels under higher demand. Impact fees are charges on new development that pay for bigger demand on City facilities caused by population and employment growth.
 

Ordinance*: Zoning Text Amendment to Increase Building Height Limits in a Portion of the G-MU Zone
The Council will consider an ordinance to increase the building heights within a portion of the G-MU (Gateway Mixed Use) zoning district from a current maximum of 120 feet up to 190 feet across portions of two separate blocks located between 500 West and the railroad tracks (approximately 625 West) and 200 South and 400 South. The applicant is requesting the change for a specific development project. Other sections of Title 21A – Zoning may also be amended as part of this petition. Petition no.: PLNPCM2019-00639

*The Planning Commission forwarded a negative recommendation, therefore an ordinance was not drafted with the original transmittal but has since been added for the Council's formal consideration.
