Description/Background:
Tracy Baker with Allied Electric Sign and Awning (representing Real Salt Lake) has applied to amend Title 21, Land Development Code, Chapter 26, Signage and Outdoor Advertising, Section 10, Sign Themes and Special Zones, Subsection (c), Signs on Major Sports Venues; and Sec. 21-37-20 "S" Definitions. The purpose of the code amendments is to update the sign theme standards for major sports venues. The proposed code changes would effectively allow for more signage within and around the America First Field (formerly known as Rio Tinto Stadium) located at 9256 S. State St., that is consistent with current conditions and industry standards. The development code has not kept up with existing signage and industry practice for major sports venues. This would also bring several existing signs into legal conformity.
On July 20, 2023, the Planning Commission recommended the City Council adopt the proposed amendments to the Land Development Code as shown in Exhibit "A."
This item was discussed at the City Council work session on July 25, 2023.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
