Salt Lake City's Transit Station Area (TSA) zoning districts in Title 21A allow higher density and mixed use within a quarter-mile of UTA TRAX light-rail and FrontRunner stations, with reduced parking minimums to encourage transit-oriented development.
Salt Lake City's TSA-UC, TSA-MUEC, TSA-UN, and TSA-SP zoning districts apply within walking distance of UTA TRAX light-rail and FrontRunner commuter-rail stops. They allow residential densities and mixed-use building types that exceed surrounding neighborhoods, reduce or eliminate parking minimums, and require ground-floor activation, pedestrian frontages, and bicycle parking. Developers using TSA standards must meet design review thresholds. The TSA toolkit supports the Climate Positive plan by directing growth to walkable corridors served by the Green, Red, and Blue TRAX lines and reducing single-occupancy commutes through inversion-prone valleys.
Building outside TSA design and use standards triggers zoning enforcement under Title 21A. Site plans deviating from frontage and parking rules can be denied or sent back for redesign before issuance of a building permit.
