Description/Background:
Mark Garza is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, two parcels totaling approximately 2.3 acres. The main parcel is located at approximately 2893 East Little Cottonwood Road, the other is the adjacent parcel to the west which is a private road. Both parcels are in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject properties are bordered by Sandy City on the west and south.
The current Salt Lake County zoning on these properties is R-1-15, one-third acre lots. The parcels to the west (Sandy City) is zoned R-1-15. The properties to the south (Sandy City) are zoned R-1-10 and R-1-20A. In general, when Sandy City annexes a property into the City from Salt Lake County we have always been sensitive to what the property was zoned in the County. In most cases we have been able to zone property to a comparable zone as we annex them into the City. As we have done this we have taken into account the existing properties that are adjacent to the area being annexed and try to assure that the annexed area is compatible with the existing area.
Staff is proposing to annex the subject properties into the City with R-1-15 zoning district. It is the intent of the applicant to develop this property into four residential lots that are 16,000 square feet or larger.
