Description/Background:
Matthew Smith, representing Becton, Dickinson, and Company (aka BD Medical), has submitted an application for a code amendment that would create a new Special Development District for the BD Medical site. The proposed application of this zone would affect approximately 38 acres located at 9450 S. State Street. The proposed zone is entitled “SD(MDM) Medical Device Manufacturing District”. The proposed zone change would allow for BD Medical to expand their facility and remain in Sandy without need of seeking variances from the Board of Adjustment or approvals for expanding a legal non-conforming use from the Planning Commission. The proposed new zone would make both the current uses and buildings and the proposed future development legal and conforming.
Staff recommended to Planning Commission that the proposed code amendment be approved. On May 3, 2018, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended to the City Council to adopt the proposed ordinance amendment. See attached staff report and meeting minutes for more details.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:

2. Compliance with the Goals and Policies of the General Plan by establishing appropriate development standards for all uses and zoning categories within Sandy City.
