Description/Background:
David Updike is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 5.9 acres, located at approximately 2072, 2100 and 2140 East Creek Road and 8215-8265 South Rossett Green Lane in Salt Lake County, Utah. The area under consideration for annexation contains eight parcels, each with a single-family dwelling.
There are seven property owners that have consented (87.5%) and one that has not consented (2140 E. Creek Road) to the proposed annexation.
Sandy City borders the subject area to the west. Staff is proposing to annex the subject properties into the City with the R-1-40 and R-1-15 zones for the subject area.
During the Planning Commission meeting one of the owners (Mr. Goot at 2140 E. Creek Road) within the annexation area explained that he is currently working on a construction project on his property. Mr. Goot is working with the County to obtain approvals for this project. Staff would prefer that Mr. Goot obtain a building permit through the County or work with Sandy City staff to see if what he is proposing to build would be allowed according to Sandy regulations.
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 Rossett Green Lane Annexation with the R-1-40 and R-1- Zone based upon the following findings:
1. The area is contiguous to the Sandy City boundary (west side).
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-1-40 and R-1-15 zones are appropriate for these parcels based upon current land use and lot sizes (as shown on proposed zoning map).
The Planning Commission also included in their recommendation that the City Council consider the timing of Mr. Goots approvals with the County as they look at statutory timing requirements associated with annexations.
