Description/Background:
Sandy City is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 1.61 acres, located at 10116 S Altavilla Dr. in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains one parcel. The property owner signed a petition to annex this property into Sandy City on August 13, 2004, in exchange for water service to this property.
The City Council approved Resolution 26-24C 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-1-43. The R-1-43 zone requires a minimum of 43,000 square feet of lot size for a single-family dwelling. Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-40 zone. This parcel is a little over one acre.
See attached staff report for a more detailed analysis.
