Description/Background:
Robert Spicer, acting as a sponsor of this area, is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 5.26 acres, located at 9767-9782 S. Jameson Point Cove; 3320 E. Old Wasatch Blvd.; 3332-3342 E. Little Cottonwood Road and 9820 S. Wasatch Blvd. (two parcels), in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains 10 parcels. Eight of these parcels currently have an existing single-family dwelling. The property owners expressed interest in being annexed into Sandy City now rather than later as per HB 330 (2024 legislative session).
Staff does have the property owner consent for eight of the 10 parcels (80%). Sandy City borders the subject area to the north, south and west sides.
The City Council approved Resolution 25-34C on July 1, 2025, which set a public hearing for August 26, 2025, and directed the City Recorder to publish and send notice of the hearing in accordance with Utah Code
The existing Salt Lake County zoning district for this unincorporated property is R-1-15. The R-1-15 zone requires a minimum of 15,000 square feet of lot size for a single-family dwelling. There is one small parcel (one of the two parcels addressed 9820 S. Wasatch Blvd) that has approximately 871 sq. ft. Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-15 zone. The single-family homes adjacent to this area in Sandy are also zoned R-1-15.
See the staff report for a detailed analysis of this annexation.
The Planning Commission reviewed this request on August 7, 2025. By a unanimous vote, they are forwarding a positive recommendation on the annexation and proposed zoning.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve Ordinance #25-20 for the Jameson Point Annexation and it be zoned R-1-15 based upon the following findings:
1. The area is contiguous to the Sandy City boundary (north, south and west sides).
2. The property is located within an area designated in the Sandy City General Plan for incorporation.
3. The City can provide a high level of municipal services to these properties.
4. The R-1-15 is appropriate for this property based upon current land uses within the area.
