Body
Description/Background:
Roberta Herzberg is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 0.49 acres, located at 10479 S Dimple Dell Road, in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains 1 parcel. This parcel does currently have an existing single-family dwelling. The property owner has indicated to staff that they do not want to be part of the Granite incorporation, if that were to happen. There is one other county property to the south, but that owner does not want to be annexed into Sandy City.
Staff does have the property owner consent.
The existing Salt Lake County zoning district for this unincorporated property is R-1-43. The R-1-43 zone requires a minimum of 43,000 square feet lot size for a single-family dwelling. This parcel is .49 acres, which is approximately 21, 344 square feet. Rather than annexing this area and making the parcel legal nonconforming, staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-20 zone. This zoning would not allow any further development without considering a rezone of the area. The area around this parcel to the north and east are zoned R-1-40, but all of those lots are 40,000 square feet or larger.
The City Council approved Resolution 24-42C on October 8, 2024 which set a public hearing for November 12, 2024, and directed the City Recorder to publish and send notice of the hearing in accordance with Utah Code.
See attached staff report for detailed analysis.
The Planning Commission reviewed this request on November 7, 2024. They are forwarding a positive recommendation to approve the Herzberg Annexation with a zoning of R-1-20.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Herzberg Annexation and be zoned R-1-20 based upon the following findings:
1. The area is contiguous to the Sandy City boundary (north and east 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-1-20 is appropriate for this property based upon current lot size.
