In addition to the general purposes of this title as set forth in section 9-1-030 of this title, the various zones each serve more specific purposes as set forth below:
A. Agricultural Zones: Agricultural zones are established to preserve and protect agricultural lands and related activities, to permit activities normally and necessarily related to agricultural production, and to prohibit land uses that may undermine continued agricultural activity.
1. The purpose of the A5 zone is to maintain the status of large tracts of agricultural land by allowing most commercial agricultural uses. Typical uses include farming, dairy, and cattle production.
2. The purpose of the A2 zone is to allow a lifestyle that includes generally noncommercial agricultural uses on large lots. Typical uses include estate lots, noncommercial stables, and other equestrian facilities.
B. Residential Zones: Residential zones are established to provide a wide range of residential land uses at various densities. These zones are intended to protect the stability of neighborhoods and to encourage, collectively, diverse types of desirable new residential development and to protect existing residential uses.
1. The purpose of the RA1 and RA2 zones is to foster low density development with little impact on its surroundings and municipal services; to generally preserve the character of the city's semirural areas; and to promote and preserve conditions favorable to large lot family life, including the keeping of limited numbers of animals and fowl. The predominant use in these zones is intended to be detached single-family dwellings, protected from encroachment by commercial and industrial uses.
2. The purpose of the RH zone is to allow large scale, master planned residential development in foothill and mountainous areas. Developed areas are intended to consist of various types of clustered dwellings on relatively small lots, together with carefully limited commercial development. To achieve relatively low overall densities, developed areas are intended to be offset by large tracts of conservation land.
3. The purpose of the R3 zone is to permit medium density residential development without special mitigation requirements. This zone is intended to provide incentives to foster residential development with little impact on its surroundings and on municipal services, and to generally preserve the semirural character called for in the density element of the general plan.
4. The purpose of the R4 and R5 zones is to permit medium to medium-high density residential developments with single-family homes. These zones are intended to foster thriving and well maintained neighborhoods that allow upscale single-family homes on smaller lots that require less maintenance and provide a balanced lifestyle.
5. The purpose of the RM1 and RM2 zones is to permit well designed apartments, townhomes, twin homes, and condominiums at relatively high densities that are appropriately buffered from and compatible with surrounding land uses.
C. Commercial Zones: Commercial zones are established to provide areas where a combination of business, commercial, entertainment, office, and related activities may be established, maintained and protected. Commercial zones are intended to provide a suitable environment for those commercial and service uses which are vital to the economic base of the city.
1. The purpose of the CN zone is to provide areas where convenience buying outlets, having small trade areas, may be established to serve surrounding residential neighborhoods. This zone is intended to promote a combination of retail and service facilities which, in character and scale, meet day to day needs of nearby residents.
2. The purpose of the CC zone is to provide areas where commercial uses may be established which are generally oriented toward local residents rather than out of town patrons. Uses typical of this zone include planned retail and office development.
3. The purpose of the CR zone is to provide areas where a combination of destination oriented business, retail commercial, entertainment, and related uses may be established, maintained and protected to serve both residents and nonresidents of the city. Typical uses in this zone include large scale, master planned commercial centers with outlying commercial pads, big box stores, and offices.
4. The purpose of the CG zone is to provide areas to accommodate commercial uses which are not within shopping centers of integrated design. This zone is intended to apply to existing "strip commercial" developments. The zone should not be used for new commercial development unless integrated shopping center development is not practical or desirable because of difficult size, shape, topography, or similar problems related to land otherwise deemed to be appropriate for commercial use. Typical uses in this zone include offices, retail stores, personal services, heavy commercial, and institutional uses.
5. The purpose of the CI zone is to provide areas with visibility and access from Interstate 15 that are commuter and traveler oriented. Typical uses include lodging facilities, personal services, travel plazas, restaurants and fast food facilities, and commuter parking.
6. The purpose of the CBP zone is to provide aesthetically attractive planned developments having a mix of office, research and development, light manufacturing, and limited retail uses. Typical uses in this zone include offices, clean indoor manufacturing facilities, service retail, restaurants, athletic clubs, personal service shops, medical offices, office/warehouse buildings, and research facilities.
7. The purpose of the CO zone is to provide locations primarily along arterial or major collector streets which will accommodate offices or laboratories for professional persons and other related uses. The zone is intended to provide availability of professional services conveniently to all neighborhoods in the city. Two (2) CO zones are provided: CO1 and CO2. CO1 zones are intended to allow office and related uses on relatively small tracts of land so they can be conveniently and compatibly located adjacent to residential areas. CO2 zones allow larger office and related use developments adjacent to commercial areas and away from residential areas. Typical uses in this zone include offices for doctors, dentists, accountants, and other similar professions, medical and dental laboratories, and pharmacies.
8. The purpose of the TC town center zone is to provide a method for implementing special provisions found within the general plan and the Draper City conservation area master plan regarding the establishment and promotion of a historic core area of the community characterized by stringent design standards for buildings, public spaces, site design and landscaping with a harmonious mix of commercial uses, limited high density residential uses and civic areas.
9. The purpose of the DC zone is to provide an area that is uniquely regional in nature, with lodging, food establishments, retail, office, service uses, and entertainment as the only allowed uses.
10. The purpose of the CS commercial services zone is to provide areas for uses that are not typically allowed in commercial zones but are lower impact and less intrusive in nature as they relate to surrounding residential neighborhoods. This zone is intended to be relatively limited in scope and application. Typical uses may include office and storage units.
11. The Major Freeway Arterial Frontage zone is located at approximately 14875 South Minuteman Drive bordered by Minuteman Drive and Marion Vista. Railroad lines abut the property on the south. The size, unusual shape and unique location of the property allows for a master planned project with a potential for office, commercial, multiple-family dwellings, and other uses. The property has immediate proximity to major transportation corridors such as Interstate-15 Frontage Road (Minuteman Drive) and almost direct access to I-15 at the 14600 South interchange. The property has a distinct topography and exposure to freeway traffic and is located away from single-family residential neighborhoods.
12. The primary purpose of the Commercial Buffer Zone (CBU) is to support low intensity commercial uses that act as a buffer between existing residential neighborhoods and commercial development. Adopted design guidelines may be applicable when zones are adjacent to the town center (TC) zoning classification.
D. Public Facility Zones: Public facility zones are established to provide public or quasi-public uses.
1. The purpose of the PF zone is to provide areas for facilities owned by public and quasi-public entities and which utilize relatively large areas of land. This zone is intended to provide immediate recognition of such areas on the official zoning map. Typical uses in this zone are cemeteries, hospitals, open air theaters, public parks, public schools, and public utility facilities.
2. The purpose of the OS zone is to recognize on the official zoning map areas which are open and generally undevelopable due to their sensitive environmental nature and/or the unavailability of adequate public facilities, such as conservation areas and national forest land.
3. The purpose of the PI zone is to provide areas for educational institutions, municipal uses, and athletic facilities, whether publicly or privately owned, that host organized team sports. These uses would utilize relatively large areas of land, and would be established for the health and betterment of the community at large. This zone is intended to provide immediate recognition of such areas on the official zoning map. Typical uses in this zone are schools, parks, municipal facilities, and sports complexes.
E. Manufacturing Zones: Manufacturing zones are established to provide areas where manufacturing and industrial processes may be conducted.
1. The purpose of the M1 zone is to provide areas for uses involving processing and assembly of manufactured goods, warehousing, and material storage. Uses which generate excessive noise, vibration, odor, dust, and fumes are excluded from this zone.
2. The purpose of the M2 zone is to provide areas where uses involving industrial processes and natural resource extraction may be permitted without negatively impacting other areas of the city, especially when undertaken on a large scale. To assure compatibility with uses in other adjacent zones, most manufacturing operations are allowed only as conditional uses.
F. Special Purpose And Overlay Zones: Special purpose and overlay zones are established to provide a means of implementing supplemental regulations that apply geographically, regardless of the underlying base zone, if applicable. Whenever the regulations of a base zone and an overlay zone conflict, the overlay zone regulations shall apply.
1. The purpose of the OSL zone is to provide regulations to protect sensitive land areas such as hillsides, floodplains, and river parkway areas.
2. The purpose of the OHD zone is to implement regulations designed to promote the preservation of structures and sites having historical, cultural, or architectural significance, and to foster economic development consistent with historic preservation plans adopted by the city.
3. The purpose of the OMP zone is to provide a method for implementing special provisions found in various master plans, such as the Bangerter interchange area, Draper City conservation area, gateway, northern gateway, and Southpointe master plans.
4. The purpose of the MPC zone is to promote high quality, innovative and creative large scale development that includes a mixture of residential, commercial and employment uses, varying densities, heights, setbacks, lot sizes and sufficient diversity of housing types. The MPC zone is designed to preserve open space, provide parks, trails and recreational uses with a desirable living and working environment with unique identity and character.
5. The purpose of each CSD zone is to permit a compatible, master planned mix of day and evening uses consisting of office, light manufacturing, retail, residential, recreation and open space components. Although development size and use mix will vary from location to location, each development is intended to consist of well designed, architecturally integrated structures which are appropriately landscaped and buffered from surrounding land uses.
