Description/Background:
Brian Curley and his neighbors are requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 2.45 acres, located at 3002, 3014, 3019 and 3020 E Apple Hollow Cove in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains four lots. 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 consent from the property owners. One of the property owners signed an agreement to annex into Sandy City as part of the water share agreement that was signed on August 25, 2025. Sandy City borders a portion of this annexation on the northwest side. Upon the approval of the Scrub Oak, G Miller and Janke Flats Annexations, Sandy City will border the subject area on the north, south and west sides.
The City Council approved Resolution 26-47C on March 31, 2026, which set a public hearing for May 5, 2026, 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-1-21. The R-1-21 zone requires a minimum of 21,000 square feet of lot size for a single-family dwelling. Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-20A zone. Each of the lots are over 0.5 acres.
The Planning Commission reviewed this request on April 16, 2026. They are forwarding a positive recommendation on the annexation and the zoning of R-1-20A.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Apple Hollow Cove Annexation and it be zoned R-1-20A based upon the following findings:
1. The area is contiguous to the Sandy City boundary (northwest side).
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-1-20A is appropriate for this property based upon current land uses within the area.
