16 Mar Text Amendment Related to Administration of the Zoning Code
We received this letter from Salt Lake City. The city is revising the administration of their zoning code. They are trying to clarify the processes.
• Adding design standards as a recognized type of zoning regulation.
• Formalizing zoning approval through building permit or business license and removing obsolete site plan review process.
• Clarifying when a use or structure is considered nonconforming.
• Distinguishing and clarifying the administrative interpretation and the determination of nonconforming use processes.
• Removing the AG-20 zoning district because the district is not mapped on the city’s zoning map and is not an active zoning district.
• Deleting chapter 21A.35 – Character Conservation Districts because none has been created since chapter was added to the code in 2013
The intent is to align the code with established processes and current practice, which will strengthen legal standing, assist staff, and enhance transparency.
Here is a list of the proposed amendments, along with new text.
Please read through the proposal, and provide me with some comments below.
