Salt Lake City
Sustainable Communities Code Revision Project
Salt Lake City Leads the Nation with Green Ordinance Review.
Salt Lake City is undertaking a groundbreaking project to adopt the most comprehensive sustainability ordinance revision in the country. The project will make changes to the City's zoning and subdivision ordinances which will guide and shape the development patterns necessary for Salt Lake City to become a national leader in sustainable practices. We are bringing forward a series of code amendments to become more efficient and environmentally responsible in our practices and procedures throughout the City.
These changes will include provisions such as creating incentives for mixed-use development patterns that mitigate the need to drive to work, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions; facilitating alternative energy production and conservation by removing barriers to alternative solar and wind energy; promoting alternative means of transportation like bicycling and walking; protecting trees that absorb greenhouse gases; and reducing storm water runoff and pollutants.
The 10 key areas addressed by the Sustainable Communities Code Revision Project are:
1. Climate Change and Air Quality
2. Water Quality and Conservation
3. Facilitate Alternative Energy production & Energy Conservation
4. Mobility and Transportation
5. Urban Forestry
6. Housing Accessibility and Diversity
7. Community Health and Safety
8. Food Production and Nutrition
9. Recycling and Waste Reduction
10. Open Space, Parks, and Trails
