The purpose of the Institutional Facilities (IF) Zone is to promote institutional projects, and supporting commercial, of regional significance that are developed as campuses to increase employment and economic vitality in Millcreek while enforcing design that is sensitive to single-household neighborhoods. The development standards in this chapter regulate impacts that may be caused to immediate neighborhoods. The permitted uses under this zone are intended to meet the needs of Millcreek residents. It is the intent of Millcreek to restrict the IF Zone to specific locations that facilitate the creation of valuable centers or future center study areas, as defined in the adopted Future Land Use Map of the Millcreek General Plan.

This chapter applies to development and uses in the Institutional Facilities Zone. Development in the Institutional Facilities Zone may also be subject to the requirements set forth in MKZ 18.61, Sensitive Lands. In addition, the following standards apply:

1. Any campus located in the IF Zone shall have a minimum area requirement of three acres.
2. For rezone considerations, the City Council may impose larger area requirements to mitigate any detrimental effects described under MKZ 18.15.030 (A).
3. Any campus located in the IF zone must be a contiguous group of parcels not separated by a public right-of-way.
4. In the event there is language elsewhere in MKZ Title 18 that conflicts with language in this chapter, the more restrictive standard prevails.

1. Purpose. Institutions are encouraged to be active and invested in the nearby community. This section is intended to promote ongoing communication between campus institutions and other uses and to provide courtesy notices of large construction projects that may impact abutting properties.
2. Any development, modification, addition, alteration to any use on a property located in the IF zone or intended to be rezoned to the IF zone that exceeds 10,000 square feet in gross square footage or exceeds 30 feet in height require a mailed notice. Notice shall be mailed at least fourteen days prior to submitting for a permit or application to Millcreek, including building permit, to property owners within 300 feet of the campus perimeter.
   
3. The notice shall at a minimum consist of general timeline of construction, scope of work, anything in the construction that may interrupt regular flow of traffic or that takes place in a public right-of-way and contact information of the project manager or a designee that can answer questions or address concerns.
4. Exemption. If the scope of the project has already met the requirements of MKZ 18.14.090 as part of a land use review process, it is exempt from the neighborhood contact requirements.

1. All uses in the IF zone are subject to MKZ 18.45.090 (D), Required Mitigation.
2. Uses in the Institutional Facility (IF) Zone are as set forth in Table 18.45-1 Permitted and Conditional Uses in the Institutional Facility (IF) Zone. If a use is not explicitly designated in the table, then the use is prohibited. An applicant seeking a Millcreek Business License may submit a Classification Request by following the procedure as set forth in MKZ 18.15.030 (J), to determine whether a proposed land use aligns with an existing land use listed in Table 18.45-1.

Certain use prohibitions or use limitations are listed in Table 18.45-2. Such use prohibitions or use limitations apply in addition to the general provision that uses not explicitly designated in the table are prohibited.

1. The spatial requirements are as set forth in Table 18.45-3 Spatial Requirements for the Institutional Facilities (IF) Zone.

2. Table 18.45-3 notes
   1. Greater height may be granted if the proposed development can follow all conditions under section MKZ 18.72, Building Height.
   2. The required open space shall be land areas that are not occupied by buildings, dwellings, structures, parking structures, streets, curb-gutter-sidewalk, driveways, or alleys. Said open space may be an area of land or water set aside, or reserved for use of the development, including an expanse of lawn, trees, plants, fully accessible landscaped roof areas, or other natural areas. Open space also includes common walkways, formal picnic areas, and recreational areas. Open space may be distributed throughout the development and need not be in a single large area. Open space may include sensitive areas, such as areas with thirty percent or greater slope, fault zones, flood plains, high water tables, and wetlands, if they have been designed as an integral element of the project. A five percent reduction in open space is permitted for civic uses to ensure adequate parking, and transit needs are met.

1. For campuses 10 acres in size or more, the height of main buildings on campus must comply with the following conditions, as illustrated in Figure 18.45.1:
   1. On a portion of the campus within 60 feet of a lot or parcel line abutting a Residential Zone Boundary the maximum height is 35 feet
   2. On a portion of the campus that is more than 60 feet but within 100 feet of a lot or parcel line abutting a Residential Zone Boundary the maximum height is 75 feet.
   3. On a portion of the site that is more than 100 feet away from the campus perimeter, as determined by a boundary survey prepared by a surveyor licensed to practice in the State of Utah, the maximum height is 100 feet.

      1. Any noise source that may in the course of 24 hours emit a noise that is greater than 50 decibels measured from 20 feet away from the noise source in any direction must provide adequate screening directly around the structure or object emitting noise.
      2. A masonry wall and evergreen trees that reach heights of 25 feet to 30 feet dispersed along a campus boundary that abuts a Residential Zone Boundary. The distance allowed between trees shall be 20 feet or less.
      3. Shrubs or tall grasses shall be used within a setback to increase the likelihood of absorbing sound.
