Description/Background:
Brett Lovell, representing the Lovell Development Group, is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 11.30 acres, located at approximately 10216 S., 10250 S. and 10254 S. Dimple Dell Road in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains four parcels. Three of the parcels currently have an existing single-family dwelling and one was previously dedicated as a future right-of-way parcel. The subject property is intended to be further developed if annexed into Sandy City into buildable single-family dwelling lots.
Staff does have the property owner consent from the current property owners. Sandy City borders the subject area to the west and north.
The existing Salt Lake County zoning district for this unincorporated property is R-1-10. The R-1-10 zone requires a minimum of 10,000 square feet lot size for a single-family dwelling. In general, when Sandy City annexes a property into the City from Salt Lake County, we have always been sensitive to what the property was zoned in the County. In most cases we have been able to zone property to a comparable zone as we annex them into the City. As we have done this, we have considered the existing properties that are adjacent to the area being annexed and try to assure that the annexed area is compatible with the existing area.
However, there is nothing that requires Sandy City to zone it the same as the County. This area is within the Granite Community. There are a couple different zones for the properties in Sandy City for this area: R-1-10 and R-1-20A. Majority of the areas on either side of the Dimple Dell Road is still unincorporated and are zoned R-1-21 and R-1-43, with some properties zoned R-1-10.
See the attached staff report and other related files for more details and information relating to this application.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
The Planning Commission held a public meeting on this item on November 16, 2023. They are forwarding a positive recommendation to approve the Olsen Farms Annexation with R-1-10 zoning, as well as a portion of R-1-20A as determined through a development agreement with the applicant based upon the three findings in the staff report, with a modification to the fourth finding to read:
4. That a hybrid approach of the R-1-10 and R-1-20A is appropriate based on the current land uses within the area.
