Description/Background:
Sandy City is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 2.34 acres, located at 3020, 3023, 3030 and 3033 E Janke Flats Lane, in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains four parcels. All of the agreements were signed by the developer of the Janke Flats Subdivision (Jake Breen for Breen Homes). This agreement was signed on November 6, 2014 as part of the water letter agreement consenting to annex the property into Sandy City in exchange for Sandy City providing water for these lots.
The City Council approved Resolution 26-34C 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-1-21. The R-1-21 zone requires a minimum of 21,000 square feet of lot size for a single-family dwelling. Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-20 zone. Two of the four parcels are slightly under the 20,000 square feet requirement. These lots will be considered legal non-conforming.
