Description/Background:
Sonya Van Leeuwen is requesting to annex a certain contiguous unincorporated area, totaling approximately 0.50 acres, located at 9520 S KSEL Dr. in Salt Lake County, Utah. The subject property under consideration for annexation contains one lot. The property owner expressed interest in being annexed into Sandy City now rather than later as per HB 330 (2024 legislative session).
Staff does have the consent from the property owner. Sandy City borders the subject area to the west side.
The City Council approved Resolution 26-49C on March 31, 2026, which set a public hearing for May 5, 2026, and directed the City Recorder to publish and send notice of the hearing in accordance with Utah Code.
The existing Salt Lake County zoning district for this unincorporated property is R-1-10. The R-1-10 zone requires a minimum of 10,000 square feet of lot size for a single-family dwelling. Staff is proposing to annex the subject property into the City with the R-1-10 zone. This lot is over 10,000 square feet.
The Planning Commission reviewed this request on April 16, 2026, and they are forwarding a positive recommendation on annexation with a zone of R-1-10.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the Van Leeuwen Annexation and it be zoned R-1-10 based upon the following findings:
1. The area is contiguous to the Sandy City boundary (west side).
2. The property is 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 this property based upon current land uses within the area.
