Description/Background:
Russell Wilcox is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 1.62 acres, located at 10275 S Altavilla Dr. in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains one lot. The property owner expressed interest in being annexed into Sandy City now rather than later as per HB 330 (2024 legislative session).
Staff does have the consent from the property owner. Sandy City borders the subject area to the east side.
The existing Salt Lake County zoning district for this unincorporated property is R-1-43. The R-1-43 zone requires a minimum of 43,000 square feet of lot size for a single-family dwelling. Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-40A zone. This lot is over 1.5 acres.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Planning Commission send a positive recommendation to the City Council that the Wilcox Annexation be approved and zoned R-1-40A based upon the following findings:
1. The area is contiguous to the Sandy City boundary (east side).
2. The property is 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-1-40A is appropriate for this property based upon current land uses within the area.
