Description/Background:
On November 3, 2020, the City Council requested City Staff to work on preparing a new zone or Special Development Zone to accommodate the needs of the Kuwahara Wholesale business, located at 8565 & 8575 South State Street. The Council gave staff some stated goals and objectives that this request should address (see Council Office Memo dated November 3, 2020). Staff has prepared a draft of this proposed code amendment to create a new SD Zone known as the SD(FM-HSN)-Historic Sandy Neighborhood Farmer’s Market to the Council on February 2, 2021. The Council voted and directed staff to take this proposal through the formal review process for the eventual adoption of these changes.
The proposed application of this zone would be applied to approximately 1.48 acres in Historic Sandy. The proposed zone change would allow for Kuwahara Wholesale to bring their site into compliance with City Codes. It will still require Kuwahara to make some further improvements and changes to their site to bring it into compliance, but it lessens some of the requirements that they deemed burdensome or undesired. A full site plan process will need to take place before those improvements can be made to ensure they are done in conformity with all city requirements. It also allows land uses and an expansion of temporary uses that allows them to use this property in a way that fits their business plan.
A full staff report of this request is attached.
On March 18, 2021, the Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation to the City Council to rezone the subject properties to the proposed zone as illustrated in the staff report.
