Taylorsville, UT Zoning Overlays & Bonuses: Downtown Design Guide (2026)

Chapter 13.18, 'Design District And Historic Resources Overlay Zones,' creates several corridor-specific design overlays, and § 13.18.050 is Taylorsville's closest equivalent to a downtown design guide: the City Center Design District (CCDD) Overlay Zone. Its stated purpose is to 'preserve the aesthetic quality of the City Center District, to protect the public and private investment of existing improvements, and to ensure the continued viability of the corridor as a desirable location for economic investment.' Administration runs through the Community Development Department, which the ordinance charges 'with the administration and enforcement of the provisions of this CCDD Overlay Zone,' and any application for right-of-way work on streetscapes, street furnishings, landscaping, or above ground utilities inside the district must be consistent with the City's adopted design standards and be reviewed and approved by that department before work proceeds.

The CCDD's boundary is fixed to the areas illustrated in the code's Figure 5 and, by default, covers only the public right-of-way; the City Council can expand it beyond the right-of-way, but only after a Planning Commission recommendation and compliance with the public notice and hearing requirements that apply to any zoning boundary change. The same chapter creates matching design-review overlays for other corridors under identical administration language: the Bennion Point Design District (§ 13.18.060), the 5400 South/Bangerter Highway Commercial Design District (§ 13.18.070), plus the separately named Redwood Road and Mid-Valley Connector Design District Overlay Zones, so a project's design obligations depend on which of these named corridors it sits within.
