On behalf of Sandy City, the Community Development Department is proposing to Amend Title 21, Chapter 7, Permitted Land Uses in Residential Districts; Title 21, Chapter 8, Permitted Land Uses in Commercial, Office, Industrial, Mixed Use, Transit Corridor, and Research and Development Districts; Title 21, Chapter 11, Special Use Standards; and Title 21, Chapter 37, Definitions, of the Sandy Municipal Code.
