Description/Background:
Mr. Bryce Dallimore (applicant) and Miles Olsen (owner) are requesting preliminary subdivision review for a two lot single-family subdivision located at 8862 S. 220 E. The applicant is implementing the Historic Sandy Development (HSD) Overlay zone with this subdivision. The HSD Overlay zone is a floating zone meant to promote human scale pedestrian activity through the incorporation of specific development guidelines in exchange for reduced minimum lot size and frontage requirements. The 0.52 acre property currently has two single-family homes located on one parcel. The property has been legally non-conforming because the homes existed prior to the zoning ordinance. The proposed subdivision would divide the property and create an individual parcel for each home and bring the structures into compliance with the zoning requirement to have only one single-family home on each lot. No new vacant lots will be created as part of this subdivision.
The owner of the property applied for a building permit to substantially expand on one of the homes in 2016. Because the property had a legal non-conforming status, the applicant was required to go to the Planning Commission and obtain a Special Exception for the continuance and expansion of a non-conforming use. The special exception was approved (see attached minutes) with the condition that a subdivision application be submitted within one year in order to bring the property into compliance. This application is in response to this condition of approval to subdivide the property. As part of the building permit application, the applicant submitted a plan for this subdivision showing the subject property divided into three lots - one for each home on the property, and one new lot. However, the plan for the property has since changed and the third new lot will not be part of this subdivision, rather it will simply divided the property into two for the existing homes.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission determine that preliminary review is complete for the Miles Olsen Subdivision, located at 8860 South 220 East, based on the following findings and subject to the following condition:
Findings:
1. That the proposed subdivision brings otherwise non-conforming uses more into compliance with requirements for single-family residences outlined in the Development Code.
2. That the application reflects the fulfillment of a conditional of approval imposed on the property during the review of a Special Exception in 2016.
Condition:
1. That the applicant complies with each department’s comments and redlines throughout the final review process and that all issues be resolved before the subdivision can be recorded.
