Description/Background:
Sandy City is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 2.01 acres, located at 10274 and 10302 S Altavilla Dr. in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains two parcels. The property owner signed a consent form to annex these properties into Sandy City on March 9, 2026.
The City Council approved Resolution 26-39C 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-1-43. The R-1-43 zone requires a minimum of 43,000 square feet of lot size for a single-family dwelling. Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-40 zone. These parcels are each over one acre.
See attached staff report for a more detailed analysis.

3. The City can provide a high level of municipal services to these properties.
4. The R-1-40 is appropriate for this property based upon current land uses within the area.
