feet.
2. Modifying the required front and corner yard setback requirements are changing
to clarify that buildings with plazas and other similar public spaces are allowed to
exceed the maximum setback.
3. Change the table of allowed uses for the D4 zoning district would change as
follows:
o Stadiums change from a conditional use to a permitted use.
o Commercial parking would be changed from a conditional use to a
permitted use. (A current requirement prohibiting the demolition of a
building for principal use parking on the property would remain.)
4. Expand the existing sign overlay that applies to the Delta Center to extend to the
blocks that contain the Salt Palace. This allows more flexibility for signs related to
the entertainment venues within the overlay and allows modifications to signs
through the design review process for buildings that are subject to design review.

8. Capital City Revitalization Zone Participation Agreement ~ 4:35 p.m.
Follow-up
45 min.
The Council will receive a follow-up briefing about the proposed participation agreement
and project area with the City and the Smith Entertainment Group (SEG). The proposed
participation agreement outlines how the City and SEG could utilize the proposed sales
tax revenue to develop the project area. The Council may consider adopting a resolution
during the July 2 formal meeting endorsing the proposed participation agreement and
project area. However, if the Council endorses the proposed participation agreement and
project area, state law dictates additional steps prior to the participation agreement and
project area being finalized. Once the Council endorses the proposed participation
agreement and project area, Section 63N-3-1306 of the Utah Code provides that the
state's Revitalization Zone Committee shall review the endorsed project area and
participation agreement. After the state's Revitalization Zone Committee reviews the
project area and participation agreement, then the City Council will again review the
project area and participation agreement for final approval.
