Description/Background:
The Sandy City Community Development Department has filed a request to amend Title 15A, Land Development Code, Revised Ordinances of Sandy City, 2008. The purpose of the Code Amendment is to consider adding new development regulations for projects specifically within the Cairns District. The Cairns District is roughly bounded by 9000 South Street on the north, the TRAX rail line to the east, 10600 South Street on the south, and Interstate 15 on the west, with some exceptions north of 9000 South and east of the TRAX rail line. (See Cairns District Map). It is proposed that this document will be approved as an Appendix to the Land Development Code.
The City Council adopted Ordinance #17-01 on January 17, 2017 which was the adoption of the Cairns Master Plan, a 25 year development plan for Sandy’s Downtown District. One of the implementation tools of the Cairns Master Plan is the Cairns Design Standards. Before the adoption of the Cairns Master Plan, staff started working on this document. A committee was formed that included City Staff (Administration, Community Development, Public Works, Public Utilities, Parks and Recreation, Economic Development), representative(s) of the City Council and Planning Commission. This committee met numerous times over the last year and a half.
The Cairns Design Standards, in association with the Cairns Master Plan, will regulate architecture, building massing and arrangement, landscaping, streetscapes, parking arrangements, and general practices of good urban design to facilitate The Cairns brand and create predictability in quality development practices. The regulations found within this document will be required in addition to other applicable laws, ordinances, codes, regulations, and standards.
