Description/Background:
Sandy City is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 2.93 acres, located at 3249, 3251 and 3269 E Little Cottonwood Road in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains three parcels. The owner of 3269 E Little Cottonwood Road signed a water letter agreement consenting to annex this property into Sandy City on April 10, 2018. The owner of 3249 E signed a consent on November 4, 2011. A previous owner of 3251 signed a consent to annex on May 6, 1988. All of these were signed in exchange for Sandy City providing water to these properties.
The City Council approved Resolution 26-31C 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.

Each parcel is over 20,000 square feet and there are three large farm animals on 3251 E Little Cottonwood Road (R-1-20A Zone).
See attached staff report for a more detailed analysis.
