Description/Background:
Mr. Daniel Sonntag, representing Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation, has submitted an application for a conditional use permit and preliminary site plan review for an improvement project of the proposed 300 East Trailhead. The plan contains a new trailhead parking lot, trailhead kiosk, improved maintenance access, and fire department access. These improvements will be connected to the existing parking for the city’s dog park. It also proposes a cul-de-sac that will serve as a terminus for 300 East and provide a second point of access to the parking area.
The proposed project is located at the south end of 300 East, at approximately 10195 South. The property is zoned SD(OS) (Special Development District, Open Space Zone). ‘Public and private parks and recreation areas’ are a conditional use within the zone. To the north are single-family homes in the PUD(5.5) Zone. To the east are single-family homes in the R-1-8 Zone. Dimple Dell Park, in the SD(OS) Zone also continues on the east and south sides of the subject property. To the west is the Sandy City Dog Park, also located in the SD(OS) Zone.
