Salt Lake City Code tit. 18, div. III, ch. 18.88 — SOUND ATTENUATION METHODS IN AIRPORT RESTRICTION ZONES | City Code of Salt Lake City, Utah (2026 S-21: current through Ord. 49-26, passed September 15, 2026) — City of Salt Lake City

Salt Lake City Code § 18.88.010 REQUIRED WHEN; PLAN REVIEW AND OCCUPANCY CONDITIONS

18.88.010: REQUIRED WHEN; PLAN REVIEW AND OCCUPANCY CONDITIONS: A. Sound attenuation, or the use of special construction methods or materials which are designed or have the effect of insulating interior spaces from exterior noise related to aircraft activity, is required in the airport restriction zones A, B and C, as set forth in section 21.76.220, or its successor, of this code. Certain types of uses are prohibited as incompatible unless they demonstrate sound attenuation to reduce the noise by a minimum specified decibel level. B. Where sound attenuation is required, the following plans and reports shall be submitted to the building official for review to demonstrate compliance. No plans shall be approved and no permits shall be issued for the new construction or alteration of structures located within such zones unless they comply and demonstrate the ability to perform the necessary sound attenuation. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued until actual performance demonstrates compliance, nor shall the building official approve plans or issue permits within such restrictive zones without receipt of the avigation easement in the form approved by the city attorney's office when required by section 21.76.230, or its successor, of this code. (Prior code § 5-18-1)

Salt Lake City Code § 18.88.020 PERMITS, CERTIFICATES, REPORTS AND IMPLEMENTATION

18.88.020: PERMITS, CERTIFICATES, REPORTS AND IMPLEMENTATION: A. Every set of plans submitted for review to the building official for a building permit within the airport restriction zones A, B or C which requires sound attenuation shall be accompanied by a sound attenuation plan and report. B. Such plan must be prepared by a licensed architect and must, in detail, address the following elements or measures to be taken to produce sound attenuation of at least the minimum decibel level required in the applicable zone: 1. Specification of materials; 2. Description of construction methods showing design numbers for sound transmission control rating; 3. Identification of decibel level of sound attenuation obtained by such plan. C. The report to accompany the plan shall include: 1. A verified written statement made by the person or firm preparing the sound attenuation plan, identifying any problems in implementing the sound attenuation plan or achieving the required decibel reductions and, further stating, in his/her professional opinion, the ability of the proposed plan to achieve the decibel level sound attenuation required for the proposed structure and its use; 2. A written statement from the property owner and contractor (general or responsible subcontractor) guaranteeing that the sound attenuation measures proposed in the plan will be performed according to the specifications of said plan. D. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, the building official shall receive the following supplemental written report, including: 1. A certification from the responsible contractor or, in the absence thereof, the owner, certifying that the sound attenuation work described in the above plan has been completed according to the plan's specifications; together with 2. A certification from an approved testing laboratory certifying that the completed sound attenuation work achieves the required decibel levels of sound attenuation. (Prior code § 5-18-2)
