Description/Background:
On behalf of Sandy City, the Community Development Department is proposing to amend a portion of Title 21, Chapter 8 - Land Uses in the Commercial, Office, Industrial, Office, Industrial, Mixed Use, Transit Corridor, and Research and Development District of the Sandy Municipal Code. The purpose of the code amendment is to revise the list of allowed uses that are appropriate for the purpose of the Automall Zone, which is to establish car dealerships. Several stand-alone uses that are currently permitted or conditional would not be allowed unless they are associated with a car dealership as an ancillary use.
Please see the attached staff report and exhibits for the full details of the request.

The Planning Commission will make a recommendation of the this item and it will later be scheduled to appear before the City Council for a final decision.
