Description/Background:
Josh Vance, representing the property owner, is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 27.68 acres, located at approximately 8700 S. 700 W. in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains a portion of one parcel (southern portion). The applicants recorded a warranty deed that constituted a bona fide division of land by deed in accordance with Utah Code Section 10-9a-103(65)(c)(v) and was done in anticipation of future land use approvals on the property. The property owner does not want to annex the entire parcel (northern portion) at this time. The subject property is currently vacant and is intended to be further developed if annexed into Sandy City.
Staff does have the property owner consent from the current property owner who intends to sell the property to a perspective developer. Sandy City borders the subject area to the east and south.
The existing Salt Lake County zoning district for this unincorporated property (southern portion) has two zones: A-2 and M-2. The A-2 zone, similar to our R-1-40 zone, has a minimum lot size of one acre. The M-2 zone, similar to our Industrial (ID) zone, is an irregular configured district which is a heavy industrial zone along most of the frontage along 700 W. Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the Industrial zone based on this being one of the existing zones and upon current land uses within the area.
Please see attached staff report for a full detailed analysis.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Planning Commission send a positive recommendation to the City Council
that the FBAC Development Annexation be approved and zoned ID based upon the following findings:
1. The area is contiguous to the Sandy City boundary (east and south 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 ID is appropriate for this property based upon current land uses within the area.
