Description/Background:
On behalf of the City, the Community Development Department is proposing to amend Title 21, Chapter 36, Notice Requirements, of the Sandy Municipal Code. The purpose of the Code Amendment is to align the development code regulations with recent amendments to State requirements. This proposal will also exceed certain minimum State mandated noticing requirements on certain types of land use applications, by requiring both mailed and physical posting of public notice of public meetings.
On September 17, 2020, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended that the City Council approve the proposed code amendment as shown in "Exhibit A".
See the attached Staff Report for further details of the proposal.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:

1. Compliance with the Purpose of the Land Development Code by creating consistency and equitable standards in Sandy City.
2. Compliance with the Goals and Policies of the General Plan by encouraging citizen participation in Sandy City that will invite public input and to inform and involve citizens in the planning process.
