Amendments to Title 21 Land Development Code related to Elements of the General Plan

Presenter:
Melissa Anderson, Zoning Administrator
Body
Description/Background:
The proposed Code Amendments would update Title 21, Land Development Code, Chapter 6, General Plan, Section 2, Plan Elements. The code amendments ensure the General Plan Elements referenced in the Land Development Code are consistent with the requirements of the Utah Code.
Sandy City is in the process of updating the General Plan and will eventually begin an adoption process. At that time, the General Plan Update will need to meet the requirements of the State Law (UCA § 10-9a, Part 4 General Plan), and the City’s land use code under Chapter 21-6, General Plan. The requirements for a General Plan in the LDC are generally consistent with Utah Code, except for Sec. 21-6-2, Plan Elements, which needs to be updated to be in line with current state law (UCA § 10-9a-403). As such, the proposed amendments remove specific descriptions for each element, and replace it with a general reference to state law with the following language: “The General Plan shall include elements in accordance with the provisions of the Utah Code Annotated as are currently in effect or as may be amended.”
The specific amendments to the code are included as Exhibit “A” (red-lined version) and Exhibit “B” (clean version).
Please see the attached staff report and exhibits for the full details of this item.
