Description/Background:
Kimberly Olsen is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 18.7 acres, located at approximately 8340-8511 South Escalante Drive and 2412-2566 East Barcelona Drive in Salt Lake County, Utah. The area under consideration for annexation contains 49 parcels with 45 owners. There are four owners that have multiple parcels. There are 46 single family homes.
At the time of this report, staff has thirty-eight property owners (84%) that have consented to the proposed annexation. The other property owners have not signed a consent form, but have been contacted and are aware of the proposed annexation request.
Sandy City borders the subject area to the south and east. Barcelona Drive is surrounded by the City borders since 2018 when the City annexed the Willow Creek Country Club.
Staff is proposing to annex the subject properties into the City with the R-1-10 zone for the single-family dwelling lots.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
The Planning Commission reviewed this proposed annexation and zoning on September 17, 2020. They are forwarding a positive recommendation that the City Council approve the Escalante/Barcelona Annexation with the R-1-10 Zone based upon the following findings:
1. The area is contiguous to the Sandy City boundary (south and east sides).
2. The properties are 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-1-10 is appropriate for these parcels based upon current land use and lot sizes.
