Description/Background:
Michael and Laura Cummings are requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 3.64 acres, located at 2152 E. and 2162 E. Creek Road, in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains two lots. Both lots currently have an existing single-family dwelling. The property at 2152 E. Creek Road was approved by the Municipal Services District (MSD) to have a guest house in November 2019 (see attached approval). This guest house is to be used on a non-rental basis. 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 the property owner consents.
The existing Salt Lake County zoning district for this unincorporated property has two zones, A-2 and R-1-21. The A-2 zone requires a minimum of one acre (43,560 square feet) lot size for a single-family dwelling. The parcel at 2162 E. Creek Road is the area zoned A-2 and is one acre in size. The R-1-21 requires a minimum of 21,000 square feet in lot size for a single-family dwelling. The parcel at 2162 E. Creek Road is 2.5 acres in size and is zoned R-1-21. Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-20 and R-1-40 zones. The parcel at 2162 E. would be the R-1-40 zone and the parcel at 2152 E. Creek Road would be the R-1-20 zone. The properties to the west are zoned R-1-15 and to the south is a PUD (2) Zone.
The City Council approved Resolution 24-44C on October 8, 2024 which set a public hearing for November 12, 2024, and directed the City Recorder to publish and send notice of the hearing in accordance with Utah Code.
The Planning Commission reviewed this request on November 7, 2024. They are forwarding a positive recommendation to approve the Cummings Annexation and be zoned R-1-20 and R-1-40 as described in the staff report.
See attached staff report for a detailed analysis.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Cummings Annexation and be zoned R-1-20 and R-1-40 based, as described, upon the following findings:
1. The area is contiguous to the Sandy City boundary (north and east side).
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-1-20 and R-1-40 zones are appropriate for this property based upon current land uses within the area.
