Description/Background:
The applicant, Mr. Greg Miles, CFO for Waterford School is requesting that the Planning Commission review the proposed site plan for a 29 vehicle surface parking lot, to be added to the existing private school campus. The proposed parking lot is to be developed on an existing vacant lot, located at 9461 S. 1400 E., and will connect with a driveway to 1400 East. The Planning Commission is the land use approval body for this action, as designated in the Sandy City Development Code.
The property parcel has been owned by the school since 2002. A residence was once located on this property, but that house was torn down many years ago. The property has sat vacant since then. The school intends to use the new parking area for teachers and staff of the pre--kindergarten and the kindergarten portions of the school campus, which is immediately to the east of the proposed parking lot.
