DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE
Salt Lake City Code § 18.95.120
in effect18.95.120: DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL COMPLIANCE:
The building official and either the chief procurement officer or the city engineer shall review within 60 days of receipt of a request for determination of substantial compliance and shall approve or deny the request based on the good faith efforts of the private sector developer to comply with this chapter. In making a determination of the good faith efforts, review of the request shall include whether the private sector developer has established the following:
A. That reasonable, appropriate, and ongoing efforts to comply with this chapter were taken; and
B. That compliance would otherwise have been obtained but for the practical or economic infeasibility of implementing high performance building design or construction techniques.
In making any such determination, cost increases due solely to aesthetic elements shall not constitute any part of a demonstration of unreasonable burden. A determination of substantial compliance pursuant to this section shall satisfy Section 18.95.030.
If the request for determination of substantial compliance is denied, the private sector developer will be deemed to have not satisfied Section 18.95.030 and shall forfeit the "good faith" deposit under Section 18.95.080 and may be assessed an additional penalty up to the amount originally funded by the city. Any penalty assessed shall be offset by the "good faith" deposit. (Ord. 91-24, 2024: Ord. 78-06 § 1, 2006)
