Unofficial copy. It may be out of date. Not legal or zoning advice. Zoning rules change, and only the city or county can say for sure what is allowed on a property. Confirm with the city or county planning department before you buy, sign or build.

The city's use tables are images in its PDFs, so they appear nearly empty here. Check the official code for any use table.
Tables (like use tables) may not copy cleanly, so check any table against the official code.
Confirm anything here with Saratoga Springs planning before you rely on it.
1. There is an underlying policy in the City of Saratoga Springs (“City”) strongly favoring the careful consideration of matters involving constitutional taking claims, in fairness to the owner of private property bringing the claim and in view of the uncertainty and expense involved in defending law suits alleging such issues. At the same time, the legitimate role of government in lawfully regulating real property and the public’s right to require the dedication or exaction of property consistent with the U.S. Constitution and the Utah State Constitution must be preserved.
2. Consistent with this policy, it is desired that a procedure be established for the review of actions that may involve the issue of a constitutional taking. a. These provisions are to assist the City in considering decisions that may involve constitutional takings. b. It is intended that a procedure for such a review be provided, as well as guidelines for such considerations. c. This ordinance is further intended and shall be construed to objectively and fairly review claims by citizens that the City’s action should require payment of just compensation.
3. Notwithstanding Subsections 1. and 2., the City preserves the ability to lawfully regulate real property and fulfill its other duties and functions.
