Description/Background:
Sandy City is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 0.22 acres, located at 2587 E. Little Cottonwood Road in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains one lot. The property owner signed a consent to annex into Sandy City on June 9, 2024, in exchange for Sandy City providing water to this property.
The City Council approved Resolution 26-09C 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 A-1. The A-1 zone requires a minimum of 10,000 square feet of lot size for a single-family dwelling.
Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-10 zone. This lot was created as Lot 1 of the Eakins Subdivision in 2008. This lot is 9,475 square feet but is considered legal non-conforming for lot area due to the dedication of 9600 S (Little Cottonwood Road) for future public right-of-way.
See attached staff report for a more detailed analysis.
