Updates Regarding Projecting Signs

Petition Number: PLNPCM2023-00996

Application Type: Text Amendment

Project Location: Citywide

Zoning District: Commercial and Mixed-use Districts

The Salt Lake City Planning Division is proposing a text amendment to update the standards related to projecting signs in commercial and mixed-use districts. Currently, Salt Lake City Code only permits projecting signs in a few of its commercial districts. This amendment primarily focuses on allowing projecting business signs as an approved sign type in all commercial and mixed-use districts. The amendment also includes minor amendments to fix small grammatical errors and improvements to general clarity in the Sign ordinance.
