Description/Background:
Intermountain Wind and Solar, representing the property owner (Dr. Kirk Moore with Lago Maggiore-Union Creek, LLC) that owns a parcel within the area zoned SD(Harada), has submitted an application for a code amendment to the existing SD(Harada) Special Development District. The proposal would amend Title 21, Chapter 19 - Special Development (SD) Districts, Section 14 - SD(Harada), of the Sandy Municipal Code. The existing SD Zone affects approximately 23.49 acres located at along Union Park Avenue (see zoning map). The proposed code change would allow for the office building to have carports built where the current code would prohibit.
Full details of the request are found in the attached staff report.
