Description/Background:
Scott Williams is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 10.23 acres, located at Shoshone Avenue, Shoshone Circle and Shoshone Court, in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains 30 lots and one parcel that is owned by . All lots currently have an existing single-family dwelling. The property owners expressed interest in being annexed into Sandy City now rather than later as per HB 330 (2024 legislative session).
Staff does have 19 of the property owner consents. This equates to approximately 65% of the land area and land value. Sandy City borders the subject area to the east and portions of the north and south.
The City Council approved Resolution 24-51C on October 22, 2024 which set a public hearing for December 10, 2024, and directed the City Recorder to publish and send notice of the hearing in accordance with Utah Code.
The existing Salt Lake County zoning district for this unincorporated property is R-1-8. Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-8 zone.
See attached staff report for a detailed analysis.

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-1-8 zone is appropriate for this property based upon current land uses within the area
