Description/Background:
Kelly Lund, representing KLM Endeavors, has applied for a code amendment to the land use matrix for commercial zones to allow for Heavy Commercial Uses in the Research and Development (RD) Zoning District. The proposal would amend Title 21, Chapter 19 - Special Development (SD) Districts, Section 20 - SD(Carnation), of the Sandy Municipal Code. The RD Zone is currently only in one area of the City (see zoning map). It is located along the freeway frontage road of 300 West, bounded by 1-15 on the east, Front Runner rails on the west, 9400 South to the north, and Sego Lily Drive on the south. The proposed code change would allow for this existing Heavy Commercial business to remain in its current location and allow the business to expand where the current code would prohibit these types of businesses in the zone.
Additional details are found in the attached Staff Report.
