Description/Background:
Sandy City is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 13.12 acres, located at 4118, 4124, 4246 E Little Cottonwood Road, 4010 E Alta Approach and the Alta Approach Condominiums (4061 E- 4115 E Quarry Dr.) in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains 16 parcels. A previous owner of 4118 E Little Cottonwood Road signed a consent on July 6, 2015. The owner of 4124 E Little Cottonwood Road signed a consent on August 25, 2025. A former owner of 4010 E Alta Approach Road signed a consent on April 27, 2015. The owner of 4246 E Little Cottonwood Road signed a consent on July 20, 2017. The developer of the condominiums signed an annexation agreement on May 17, 1982. The owners of these lots and/or developments signed a water letter agreement consenting to annex the property in exchange for Sandy City providing water to these properties.
The City Council approved Resolution 26-32C on March 3, 2026, which set a public hearing for April 7, 2026, and directed the City Recorder to publish and send notice of the hearing in accordance with Utah Code.
The existing Salt Lake County zoning district for this unincorporated property is R-1-15. The R-1-15 zone requires a minimum of 15,000 square feet of lot size for a single-family dwelling. Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-15 zone. The single family dwelling lots are each over 15,000 square feet. The condominiums will be considered legal non-conforming lots.
See attached staff report for a more detailed analysis.
