Description/Background:
Sandy City is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 3.34 acres, located at 10713, 10715, 10745 and 10747 S 2000 E, in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains four parcels. The property owners have expressed an interest in annexing as part of HB 330 and wanted to annex now versus waiting longer.
The City Council approved Resolution 26-37C 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 R-1-21. The R-1-21 zone requires a minimum of 21,000 square feet of lot size for a single-family dwelling. Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-20 zone. All four parcels are over one-half acre.
See attached staff report for a more detailed analysis.
The Planning Commission reviewed this request on March 19, 2026 and are forwarding a positive recommendation to approve the annexation with a proposed zoning of R-1-20A.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Newman Annexation and it be zoned R-1-20A based upon the following findings:
1. The area is contiguous to the Sandy City boundary (west, east and south).
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-1-20A is appropriate for this property based upon current land uses within the area.
