Planning & Zoning
The Planning and Zoning Division is responsible for guiding the growth of the City of South Salt Lake.
What We Do
- The General Plan and Master Plans: With input from the public and stakeholders, the City establishes numerous master plans to guide the future vision and growth of the city. You can find these plans in the right sidebar.
- Zoning and Ordinances: Through the master planning and visioning process, the City establishes zoning regulations that are adopted into ordinance by the City Council.
- Land Use Procedures and Applications: Our staff works with applicants through the entitlement process on land use and development applications. This process starts with a predevelopment consultation application.
Once a predevelopment application has been submitted for review, staff outlines for the applicant the path forward through the entitlement process. Once fully entitled, our staff works with applicants to review and obtain applicable building permits and required inspections.

It is the applicant's responsibility to provide a complete application when submitting. Each application includes a checklist of required items that must be submitted along with the application. Applications are processed in the order they are received. Applicants are responsible for all 3rd party costs.
Once plans are submitted, they will be reviewed by Community Development and various city departments. Applications that are inconsistent with South Salt Lake Municipal Code may be denied. Application submission does not guarantee placement of the applicant's petition on any particular agenda for the Planning Commission or City Council.
Predevelopment Application Consultations
To help you navigate the development and permit process, South Salt Lake offers predevelopment consultations by appointment. This is an opportunity for staff to do a preliminary review of your development proposal and provide feedback.
Please review the Predevelopment Checklist (PDF) prior to submitting an application. Complete applications are currently accepted via email (planning@sslc.gov) or in person. If you have any questions please contact the planning staff.
