Commission recommends corrections to zoning use table, adds retail tobacco specialty business entry
Summary
The commission recommended City Council approve text amendments fixing errors in the use table for financial institutions, adding Retail Tobacco Specialty Business as an allowed use in places, and aligning parking standards for medical cannabis pharmacies and retail uses with Chapter 17-2 definitions.
The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously recommended that City Council approve text amendments to multiple zoning chapters to fix clerical errors and align use-specific and parking standards with Chapter 17-2 definitions.
Staff explained changes in three zones: State Street, Regional Commercial, and Clean Industrial. Proposed corrections include changing financial-institution entries (drive-up vs. without drive-up) to the correct permit categories, adding Retail Tobacco Specialty Businesses where existing businesses already operate, and adjusting parking standards for medical cannabis pharmacies and retail/service commercial uses to match the code definitions.
Planner II Jonathan Anderson summarized the enforcement/approval context, saying: "this will only be for specialty tobacco retailers and the majority of approval goes through the Salt Lake County Health Department." Commissioners voted unanimously to recommend the amendments to City Council.
Next steps: the Commission’s recommendation will be forwarded to City Council for final action; staff materials attached to the record identify which zones and sections are affected.
