Background
Project Description The proposed subdivision amendment is located at 1376 S Distribution Drive. The purpose of the amendment is
to consolidate three lots into two lots that are in the existing subdivision Nin Tech East VIII. The lots are
currently vacant, but with the change to the configuration of the lots, they may be developed to accommodate a
light industrial use that is allowed in the zone.
The proposed subdivision amendment, referred to as NTE California, will consolidate Lots 23 & 25, to create
lot 23A (1376 S Distribution Drive.) The amendment will also reduce the size of the existing Lot 22 to create
Lot 22A (4030 W Advantage Circle.) Currently no plans have been submitted for development of the lots.
The proposed subdivision amendment is located in the M-1: Light Manufacturing District. The lots created in
the proposed subdivision must comply with the M-1: Light Manufacturing zoning district standards.

Public hearing notice mailed on April 12, 2012.
Sign posted on property on April 10, 2012.

Public Comments Staff received no comments about this proposal at the time of publication.
City Department Comments The proposed subdivision was reviewed by the applicable City departments and divisions. The review
comments have been attached to this report as Attachment B. None of the comments would preclude approval
of the project. The applicant will need to submit a revised plat per City department’s comments for final plat
approval.
Analysis and Findings Subdivision Amendment Standards for Approval A subdivision amendment petition may be approved only if it meets the requirements specified in Section
20.31.090 of the Salt Lake City Code. The standards for approval are as follows:
A. The amendment will be in the best interests of the city.
Analysis: The purpose of the proposal is to consolidate existing lots in order to accommodate potential new
development. The new lots would conform to the zoning requirements for parcels located in the M-1 zoning
district and would support uses consistent with the ordinance purpose statement. The purpose statement of
the zone supports light industrial uses that generate employment opportunities and promote economic
development. The adjusted lots would continue to allow for the development of vacant and unused land that
is zoned for a light industrial type use.
Finding: Staff finds that the proposed subdivision amendment will be in the best interests of the City.
B. All lots comply with all applicable zoning standards.
Analysis: Staff has reviewed the properties for compliance with all applicable Zoning Ordinance standards
and found that they meet the minimum standards.
The M-1 Zoning District has the following yard and bulk regulations:
District Minimum Lot Area
Maximum Lot Area
Minimum Front and Corner
Yard
Interior Side Yard
Minimum Rear Yard
Minimum Lot Width
M-1 20,000 sq ft (.46 acres)
None 15’ None None 80’
There is no maximum lot area limit in this district. The existing lots are 12.87 acres, 6.33 acres, and 7.07
acres in size. The proposed lots, 22A and 23A, are 5.857 acres and 10.41 acres respectively. These lot sizes
meet the minimum lot area requirement of .46 acres (See table above). Proposed lot 22A has an approximate
width of 390 feet measured at the front yard setback from Distribution Road and is not being altered from
the current width. Proposed lot 23A has an approximate width of 160 feet measured at the front yard setback
from Advantage Circle. These meet the minimum lot width requirement of 80 feet.
Finding: Staff finds that the proposed lots comply with the applicable zoning standards.

C. All necessary and required dedications are made.
Analysis: This proposal was reviewed by all applicable city divisions and departments. The Department of
Airports responded that the owner will need to ensure an avigation easement is recorded for the properties.
Please see Attachment B for the specific requirement. The Transportation Department noted some
requirements regarding access restrictions to the property and new road development.
Finding: The provision of the dedications required by the applicable city divisions and departments in the
final plat process is a condition of approval.
D. Provisions for the construction of any required public improvements are included.
Analysis: No department comments indicated a need for any additional public improvements.
Finding: No additional public improvements are required.
E. The amendment complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
Analysis: The proposed subdivision amendment has been reviewed by pertinent city departments and
divisions as to its adherence to applicable laws and regulations. No departments or divisions had objections
to the request, subject to the conditions as discussed in the staff report and located in Attachment B.
Finding: Staff finds that the amendment meets all applicable laws and regulations.
F. The amendment does not materially injure the public or any person and there is good cause for the
amendment.
Analysis: No comments from the public have been received objecting to the proposal as of the publication
of this staff report. The amendment will support the accommodation of potential new light industrial
development that is allowed by the zoning district. The proposed lots comply with the standards of the
zoning ordinance. The standards of the zoning ordinance provide existing property owners, and potential or
future property owners, and tenants a basic understanding of what type of land uses and what types of
development may occur in the area. With the proposal complying with the subdivision regulations, there is
no other known evidence that indicates material injury to the public or any person. Furthermore, the
proposed amendment may make the undeveloped property more marketable, which could result in new
growth and new jobs that would contribute to the City’s economy. This indicates that there is good cause to
amend the subdivision.
Finding: There is no evidence that the proposed subdivision amendment will materially injure the public or
any person and staff finds that there is good cause for the amendment.

Department Comments
Public Utilities
At the time the subdivision was originally created a 10-inch fire lateral and a 2-inch normal culinary water service line
was stubbed to each lot. The amendment proposes to take three lots and through various lot line adjustments, consolidate
to two lots. City code only allows one water service per lot. Prior to the final plat being signed for this plat amendment,
one of the extra sets of water services (1 fire and 1 culinary) must be properly killed at the water main in Distribution
Drive for the new Lot 23A; the lot that would result with duplicate services. Please provide a civil engineered utility plan
showing proper termination of the utility services and have it reviewed by this department and permitted. When the
termination of services has been completed, the plat can be signed with the proposed changes.
Zoning
See all comments from the DRT meeting held 3/13/2013. Important zoning review comments were: 1) the final plat
should address all existing appropriate notes in the "Notice to Purchasers"; 2) the plat should address a recorded avigation
easement; and 3) the close proximity of the suspected fault line would require a site specific natural hazards report for
development of the lot.
Building
No comments.
Engineering
Addressing and coordinates provided for inclusion on the final plat. The City Surveyor will begin her review of the plat
when a final plat is submitted.

Transportation There are no revision or impacts noted to the existing public transportation corridor right of ways abutting this proposal to
consolidate three lots (22, 23, & 25) into two Lots.
Per memo dated January 28, 2008-
Re; Nin Tech West VIII Subdivision
The Division of transportation review comments and recommendations area as follows:
Per past reviews (September 15, 2000 - March 20, 2004) the overall roadway concept is in accordance with city design
standards. Final review will clarify intersections and roadway geometrics.
We are planning for traffic sectoring along California Avenue with intersection signals at 5600 West
(existing), 4800 West (future), Bangerter Highway (existing), 3800 West (future), Gladiola Avenue
(future), Pioneer Road (existing) and 215 Interchange (existing)....
The proposed roadway intersections at about 3700 West (Commons Ln.) existing and 3900 West
?(current proposal) will be subject to revocable traffic restrictions as designated for right in, right out,
maneuvering as determined by the City Transportation Engineer.
Lot 25 will need to be connected to the New 3900 West for access. Vehicular access to California Avenue
will be restricted.
--------
The access restriction to California Avenue needs to be noted on the plat revision.
Sincerely,
Barry Walsh
