WHEREAS, the Salt Lake City Zoning Code contains various regulations regarding sign regulations in each of the zoning districts; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of Salt Lake City, Utah, finds, after public hearings before its own body and before the Planning Commission, that portions of the Salt Lake City Zoning Code which relate to the sign standards for the Gateway Zoning District should be amended to allow certain additional signage in the Gateway Zoning District, and that such amendments are in the best interest of the City;
