Description/Background:
Michael Smith is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 10.2 acres, located at 2411-2533 East Robidoux Road and 8252-8337 South Escalante Drive in Salt Lake County, Utah. The area under consideration for annexation contains 30 parcels with 30 single family dwellings. One of the homes is owned by the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District (2411 E. Robidoux Road) which does not count towards/against the property owner consent, being owned by a quasi-public agency.
At the time of this report, staff has twenty-three property owners (79%) that have consented to the proposed annexation. The other property owners have not signed a consent form, but have been contacted and are aware of the proposed annexation request.
Sandy City currently borders the subject area to the south and east with the Willow Creek Country Club property. The City also recently approved the Escalante/Barcelona Annexation which is adjacent to the south.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
The Planning Commission reviewed this request on October 15, 2020 and is forwarding a positive recommendation to the City Council that the Robidoux Road Annexation be approved and zoned R-1-10 based upon the following findings:
1. The area is contiguous to the Sandy City boundary (south and east sides).
2. The properties are located within an area designated in the Sandy City General Plan for incorporation.
3. The City can provide a high level of municipal services to these properties.
4. The R-1-10 is appropriate for these parcels based upon current land use and lot sizes.
