Salt Lake City considers zoning change to allow more housing types across a third of the city

Leading public outreach; proposal now before Planning Commission

Salt Lake City's Planning Commission delayed a vote on a zoning overhaul that would allow second homes, duplexes, and small four-unit buildings in single-family neighborhoods. The proposal, called Expanding Housing Options, would apply to R-1, R-2, SR-1, and SR-1A zones, which cover about 77% of the city's residentially zoned land. Planners say the change would restore the housing mix the city had in the 1920s, before single-family-only zoning took over.
