Description/Background:
Dennis Dean and Michele Couch are requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 1.4 acres, located at approximately 1785 East 11400 South in Salt Lake County, Utah. The area under consideration for annexation contains one parcel. The applicants own two parcels, but the smaller one (0.1 acres) is already part of Sandy City as it was annexed in 1973 as part of the Hilltop Annexation. The property owners have consented to the proposed annexation.
The subject property is bordered by Sandy City on the north, south, east and west sides
T
he current Salt Lake County zoning on these properties is A-2, which requires a minimum of one acre lots. There are a number of different zoning districts near this property. To the north is R-1-10 (including the small parcel the applicants own), to the east and south is zoned R-1-40A, and the west is SD(R-2-A) Fluckiger. Staff is proposing to annex the subject properties into the City with the R-1-40A zoning district.
