Zoning Text Amendment to Allow Attached Garages
Project Location: Citywide
Application Type: Zoning Text Amendment
Petition Number: PLNPCM2023-00952
The Salt Lake City Planning Division is proposing a text amendment to update the standards related to attached structures, which includes garages, entrance landings, and building foundations. In 2021, Utah State code was amended, changing standards required of these structures. The changes to the state code also imposed limitations on what municipalities can require in terms of design elements. City code needs to be updated to match these regulations. The amendment would focus on aligning the standards with city goals and addressing state law. This zoning amendment would also correct language in other related sections of the code.
