Description/Background:
Mr. Stephen Selu, P.E., Kimley-Horn Consulting Engineers, and Mr. Lou Gambertoglio, representing Skygroup Investments, LLC, are proposing the construction of an iFly indoor skydiving operation, located on an existing, vacant pad site lot at the One-14 Retail Center, just south of the Scheels store. This project will complete the One-14 Retail Center project. Indoor recreation is a permitted use in the CBD zoning district. All of the surrounding property within Sandy City limits is zoned Central Business District (CBD). A community meeting was not held for this project, because it is a permitted use, and there are no residential uses nearby. The CBD zoning district requires that the Planning Commission approve the building architectural design, materials and colors, after review by the Civic Center Architectural Design Review Committee.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation

CONDITIONS:
