3. EXCEPTIONS.

Construction of at Grade sidewalks, trails, public plazas, and temporary signs in the FPZ Setback Area requires an Administrative Permit with approval by the Planning, Engineering, and Building Departments.
   
4. Essential public facilities such as bus shelters, bus lanes, Public Transit Amenity Areas, highways, directional signs, and utility installations within the FPZ shall require an Administrative Permit or Administrative Conditional Use permit with approval by the Planning, Engineering, and Building Departments. Overhead electric bus charging infrastructure is prohibited.
   
5. To minimize curb cuts, driveways, and Access to Park City’s primary highways and Streets, Access to Property in the FPZ shall be from existing City Streets when possible, rather than direct highway Access. Common driveways between adjoining projects shall be used when possible. Driveways must be placed where they create the least interference with through traffic on highways. 
   
6. The Planning Department shall review all proposals for pedestrian and bicycling pathways and trails through the FPZ. Trails and sidewalks may occupy Setback Areas. Open Space, preservation of view corridors, protection and enhancement of Sensitive Lands such as wetlands and meadows, and buffer Areas shall be considered in the review.
   
   All Fences in the FPZ must be one of the following styles:
   
   1. Wooden rail,
      
   2. Architecturally Compatible solid wood and natural stone,
      
   3. Stock Fences,
      
   4. Various forms of steel Fencing as determined and approved by the Planning Department, not including chain link Fencing.

1. INTENT. To maintain the visual character of Park City as a mountain community with sweeping, attractive vistas, all Development within the designated entry corridors into Park City shall comply with the requirements of this section. The Entry Corridor Protection Overlay (ECPO) is a sub-zone within the FPZ.
   
2. APPLICABILITY TO PROPERTY WITHIN EXISTING PARK CITY LIMITS. The regulations contained in this sub-zone shall apply to all Structures on Lots adjacent to or within two hundred and fifty feet (250') of the nearest Right-of-Way of entry corridor highways within existing Park City limits including:
   
   1. Utah State Highway 224 north of Holiday Ranch Loop Road and Payday Drive, 
      
   2. Utah State Highway 224 south of Prospect Street, and

4. ACCESS/TRAFFIC. Access points and driveways connecting directly to the entry corridor roadways shall be minimized.

Whenever direct driveway Access is necessary, it shall be located in such a manner to minimize interference with through traffic on the corridor roadway.
   
5. SETBACKS. 
   
   1. A Setback in the Entry Corridor Protection Overlay shall be established by the Planning Department based upon a visual assessment of the Property. However, in no case shall the Setback be less than one hundred feet (100') from the nearest entry roadway Right-of-Way. In Areas where open meadow vistas are considered important, the required Setback may be increased significantly. The one hundred foot (100') standard is intended to be more appropriate for Properties currently within the City limits. Upon annexation request, the appropriate Setback will be determined based upon a Site specific visual analysis. 
      
   2. Building Setbacks in the Entry Corridor Protection Overlay shall vary from Structure to Structure with any one Lot or Development. Setbacks shall also vary from those on adjoining roadway-oriented Property to avoid creating a walled effect.

   3. Agricultural or stock Fences shall be allowed in the Setback subject to approval by the Planning Department. See Fencing, Section 15-2.20-5(H).
   4. Essential public facilities such as bus lanes and Public Transit Amenity Areas shall require an Administrative Permit with approval by the Planning, Engineering, and Building Departments. Overhead electric bus charging infrastructure is prohibited.
6. PARKING LOTS. Parking Lots must be located to the rear or sides of Buildings to the maximum extent feasible.
   
7. BERMS/EARTHWORK SCREENING. All earthen berms and earthwork Screening must be Graded and planted in such a manner so as to permit views of primary uses on the Site from the adjacent entry corridor roadway. Additionally, berm crests shall be contoured and varied in height to avoid a straight-line barrier effect.

   1. Wooden rail,
      
   2. Architecturally Compatible solid wood and natural stone,

   1. Twenty feet (20') if the entry corridor Setback is less than one hundred fifty feet (150').
      
   2. Twenty-five feet (25') if the entry corridor Setback is greater than one hundred fifty feet (150') but less than two hundred feet (200').
      
   3. Up to the maximum height allowed by the underlying zone if the Setback is two hundred feet (200') or greater.
      
      In addition, Buildings may be required to be stepped back to preserve and enhance important views.
      
10. PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES. Trails and sidewalks shall be provided in all ECPO Developments in accordance with the Park City Trails Master Plan. Trails and sidewalks may occupy Setback Areas.

Parking must be adequately Screened with berms and/or landscaping to a height of at least three feet (3’) above the surface of the Lot unless said landscaping/berming is discouraged by UDOT for sight/safety reasons. Vehicular Access to trailhead parking Lots is to be by City Streets if possible or by permission of UDOT if from a State Highway. Any Structure, way finding sign or Use is subject to the Conditional Use permit review.
