Taylorsville, UT Animal Ordinances: Veterinary Clinic Zoning (2026)

Section 13.08.020 is Taylorsville's permitted land use table for the Commercial, Office, Industrial, Mixed Use, Transit Corridor and Research and Development districts, and it uses a five-letter code: P for permitted, AC for administrative conditional, NC for nonadministrative conditional, N for not permitted, and PLC for permitted with local consent. The 'Animal hospital, veterinary office' row carries a P, meaning the use is allowed by right with no discretionary permit, across Regional Commercial, Boulevard Commercial, Community Commercial, Neighborhood Commercial, Limited Commercial, Professional Office, Industrial District, and Research and Development.

Two districts are treated differently: Mixed Use and Transit Corridor both carry an AC, administrative conditional, meaning the Community Development Director reviews and approves the use administratively rather than it being automatic, likely because those districts sit closer to residences and rely more on pedestrian activity. Subsection (C) of § 13.08.020 also matters here: for any use marked with a location restriction letter following a slash, the second letter tightens the standard for a use within two hundred fifty feet of a residential district, though the veterinary office row itself carries no such slash qualifier.

Outside this commercial table, the same use is flatly barred, marked N, in the Institutional Care District under § 13.09.030 and in the Open Space District under § 13.10.020, so a veterinary hospital cannot locate in either of those narrower districts regardless of size. A parking standard elsewhere in the code, at § 13.24.080, separately requires five parking spaces per one thousand square feet of floor area for a veterinary office, on top of whatever use approval applies in the zone chosen.
