Description/Background:
Mr. Rollin Anderson and Ms. Amy Rees Anderson, DBA as Rees Capital, representing IPOA, LLC, property owner, are requesting the Planning Commission to determine that preliminary Site Plan Review for a new professional office building is complete. The Planning Commission is the land use approval body for this action, as designated in the Sandy City Development Code.
The property is located 1680 E. Dimple Dell Road. The office is proposed to be one story in height above grade and contain approximately 3,217 square feet of office space, and an attached garage of 1,112 square feet for the owner's personal passenger vehicles. The property parcel is vacant and contains 23,016 square feet of land area and is located on the southwest corner of 1700 East and Dimple Dell Road (approximately 10700 South) at 1680 East Dimple Dell Road. The property was recently re-zoned by the Sandy City Council from Residential to Professional Office (PO) at the request of the owners, and in anticipation of this project.
