Description/Background:
Mike Cordova, representing the Fur Breeders Agricultural Cooperative (FBAC), is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 5.03 acres, located at approximately 8700 S. 700 W. in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains a portion of property that was one parcel. The property owner does not want to annex the entire parcel (northern portion) at this time. The subject property currently has one building on site which is used for administrative offices and a place where semi-trucks deliver products and are stored inside the bays. Once this area is annexed, the owners will do a parcel adjustment with the existing parcel in Sandy City in order to further develop the southern parcel. This southern parcel was annexed into Sandy City in May 2024 (FBAC Development Annexation).
Staff does have the property owner consent from the current property owner.
Sandy City borders the subject area to the east and south. The current uses in this area include the existing Fur Breeders operation to the north. The adjacent uses to the east include the Sandy City Public Works facility, a new Household Hazardous Waste facility and a new transfer station that are currently being built, and the Sandy Suburban Improvement District office building. All of these properties and uses are currently zoned Industrial (ID).
The existing Salt Lake County zoning district for this unincorporated property has two zones: A-2 and M-1. The A-2 zone, similar to our R-1-40 zone, has a minimum lot size of one acre. The M-1 zone, similar to our Industrial (ID) zone, is a Manufacturing Zone for light industrial uses. 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 and zoning within the area.
Please see the attached staff report for a 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 II 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.
