Description/Background:
At the request of the City Council, the Community Development Department is proposing to amend a portion of Title 21, Chapter 21, Subdivision Design Standards, Section 10 - Streets, of the Sandy Municipal Code. The purpose of the Code Amendment is to amend regulations for cul-de-sac lengths on streets. This amendment was discussed during the text amendments related to the implementation of Appendix D of the Fire Code. Staff has proposed language to address the request of the Council that would allow for some additional flexibility on the maximum length of a cul-de-sac under certain circumstances.
On November 21, 2019, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the proposed code amendment.
See the attached Staff Report for further details of the proposal.
