Description/Background:
Sandy City is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 0.50 acres, located at 9519 S Hidden Pine Lane, in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains one parcel. The owner of 9519 S Hidden Pine Lane signed a consent form to annex the property into Sandy City on March 9, 2026.
The City Council approved Resolution 26-40C on March 10, 2026, which set a public hearing for April 14, 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. This parcel is one-half acre.
See attached staff report for a more detailed analysis.
