About this file
This is a site plan requirements document issued by the Building Services & Code Enforcement and Planning Division of Salt Lake City, Utah, outlining mandatory specifications for development submissions. The document establishes two categories of site plans—Basic Site Plan for smaller projects and Major Site Plan for larger developments—with detailed requirements for each. Basic Site Plan submissions must include verified property line locations, street and easement information, dimensions of hard surfaced areas, structure locations and setbacks, parking strip layouts, and landscape features. Major Site Plan submissions require all Basic Site Plan elements plus additional details such as comprehensive landscape plans signed by licensed landscape architects or EPA WaterSense certified professionals, sprinkler system specifications, fence and wall details, contour lines indicating grade changes at two-foot intervals, exterior signage information, drainage facilities, public way improvements, utility box locations, and air conditioning unit specifications. All plans must be drawn to a minimum scale of one inch equals 20 feet on sheets no smaller than 8.5 inches by 11 inches. The document was updated on September 9, 2024.
This site plan requirements file serves as a regulatory guide rather than a solicitation document. The specifications establish minimum design and submission standards for projects requiring municipal approval in Salt Lake City. The document emphasizes code compliance verification, particularly for landscape elements, and requires specific dimensional notations and professional certifications where applicable. The 10-foot setback requirement from garages to adjacent dwellings is a critical standard for residential and mixed-use development. These requirements are applicable to the electronic rolling security gate and fencing installation project for Volunteers of America, Utah, which must comply with local site plan submission procedures and all applicable codes before construction authorization.
