§ 17.4.604. SP shoreline preservation zone.

A.

Legislative intent. The SP shoreline preservation zone covers the riparian area adjacent to Utah Lake. This area is subject to periodic flooding and a very high water table (when not actually inundated). Experience has shown this area to be generally unsuited for general development and environmentally fragile; its preservation is of importance to the city. Uses which tend to produce a hazardous condition or otherwise degrade or militate against the preservation of the shoreline are not permitted. Accordingly, uses within the zone are limited to uses which will not significantly degrade the environment of the lake shore area or require a significant commitment of public resources for protection during times when the area is inundated with flood waters.

Typical uses within the zone are a combination of natural areas, public and private open space areas, golf courses, camping and similar open recreation areas, boat launch ramps and harbor facilities. Also, the zone is designated as a TDR-S zone (transfer of development rights sending zone).

The specific regulations necessary for the accomplishment of the intent of the zone are hereinafter set forth.

B.

Permitted uses. The following buildings, structures, and uses of land shall be permitted upon compliance with the applicable requirements of this code:

1.

The production of crops in the field and similar agricultural activities and grazing of livestock, but not including feed yards.

C.

Conditional uses. The following buildings, structures, and uses of land shall be permitted upon compliance with the applicable requirements of this code and after approval has been given by the designated review agency.

1.
