600 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.
