Description/Background:
Dennis Dean and Michele Couch are requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 1.4 acres, located at approximately 1785 East 11400 South in Salt Lake County, Utah. The area under consideration for annexation contains one parcel (see attached location map). The applicants own two parcels, but the smaller one (0.1 acres) is already part of Sandy City as it was annexed in 1973 as part of the Hilltop Annexation. The property owners have consented to the proposed annexation.
The subject property is bordered by Sandy City on the north, south, east and west sides.
The current Salt Lake County zoning on these properties is A-2, which requires a minimum of one acre lots. There are a number of different zoning districts near this property. To the north is R-1-10 (including the small parcel the applicants own), to the east and south is zoned R-1-40A, and the west is SD(R-2-A) Fluckiger. Staff is proposing to annex the subject properties into the City with the R-1-40A zoning district.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Planning Commission send a positive recommendation to the City Council that the Dean/Couch Annexation be approved and zoned R-1-40A based upon the following findings:
1. The area is contiguous to the Sandy City boundary (north, south, east and west sides).
2. The property is located within an area designated in the Sandy City General Plan for incorporation.
3. The City is presently providing water, fire service and emergency medical service to this area.
4. The City can provide a high level of other municipal services to these properties.
5. The R-1-40A zone is appropriate for this parcel based upon current land use.
6. The City is authorized to annex the area without a petition pursuant to Utah Code Annotated § 10-2-418.
