Adam Nash, the applicant, said he revised the project's concept plan to provide a new private street and a separate residential street rather than routing residential access through commercial parking, addressing a major concern raised by staff and the commission in an earlier hearing. Nash said the revised plan relocates the shared access to 90th South and adds a street that would serve the proposed residential area and provide circulation for adjacent commercial properties.

Several residents spoke in opposition, saying the existing 7-Eleven and an engineering office already create after-hours deliveries and parking pressures behind their homes and that adding 19 units would increase overnight traffic and safety concerns. Resident Jen Archuleta, whose home backs to the site, said delivery-truck wheels have been visible over her 10-foot fence and that she feared larger traffic and safety impacts if residential units were added behind homes that were sold with expectations of limited commercial adjacency. Resident Robert Archuleta raised concerns about safe school routes and bus pickup logistics. Jeremiah Johnson, joining by webinar, echoed worries about late-night traffic near backyard fences and said commercial uses are easier to regulate than residential comings and goings.

Commissioners debated trade-offs. Some said commercial uses could generate higher peak traffic for certain operations (for example, a convenience store or drive-through), while others said the site's poor access and `orphaned'character make commercial redevelopment unlikely and that housing would be a reasonable infill use.

Two motions were attempted. A motion to forward a negative recommendation failed on a voice/roll-call tally; a later motion to forward a positive recommendation carried 4-3. The final roll call in favor recorded yes votes from Commissioners Dave Bromley, Cameron Duncan, Ron Mortimer and Lennie (Lehi) Davenport; Commissioners Danny Schoenfeld, Steve Wrigley and David Hart voted no.

The commission's recommendation will go to the City Council for a public hearing and final decision. Staff noted that detailed engineering (traffic studies, sight-distance analysis, acceleration/deceleration lanes, ADA pedestrian routes and fire-department access) and subdivision/site-plan conditions would be required if the project proceeds.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Sandy - Planning Commission on 2025-01-16 6:15 PM - Jan 16, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","After hours of public comment focused on traffic, safety and access, the commission voted 4-3 to forward a positive recommendation to City Council to rezone the Riverside Drive parcel from convenience commercial (CBC) to PUD-12.","taxTitle","Sandy, Salt Lake County, Utah","taxId",2944,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6683304,"Planning commission recommends rezoning of 0.43-acre Sandy Towers parcel to RM-12",381,3512000,3893000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2125218-6d2376a895bca6cbedf27039e3753d49&start=3512&end=3893","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2125218-6d2376a895bca6cbedf27039e3753d49/thumbnail_3512000.jpg","/articles/6683304/Sandy/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-recommends-rezoning-of-043-acre-Sandy-Towers-parcel-to-RM-12","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683304-1f85e5a92e3123ee591ea3dd9dd6db75/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160727&Signature=FYZgdQ8dTH4kuGxLS6EM~2M6tzKy58Aa39e9SkfAxnqWGyqUnD8uXgV6xEtvy65YdZRCD2YTBSwPxUGIjN6OicrTTNr8hBxbvnEDcKzkluS-GF8azsZaqEKdOhV6chiSzBZ-N5rOBEp2Jhco9jbkcomAZcaf0pmQVVE8S1UFyJFU-IMCVHOG1~7ef6tl4TvVICnuc4jBlX-413ZTvB5COXcsJVhmhZ4QR~GbGxRjJG6lyqU0IPB7SHSE6iQOgrfibv1r~cwCG5QKcbVmaTSKFLvvZqVcYwz2uSpN0jL1uIUhyepwXaQtfBKUeR7RNF-gP7edq~8gbRa3hVKXt-LP5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sandy City Planning Commission on Oct. 27 voted to recommend that City Council approve a zone change for a 0.43-acre property at 1270 East 8610 South from Neighborhood Commercial to RM-12 to allow multi-family development.

Jake Warner, long-range planning manager, said the property is currently Neighborhood Commercial and that the applicant, Riley Street, proposed rezoning to RM-12; the concept plan submitted with the application shows two duplexes or four townhomes with access from the east. Warner noted adjacent parcels to the west and south are already RM-12 and that staff's recommendation was based on existing and proposed uses. Warner also told the commission the new Sandy City general plan adopted earlier this year anticipates residential in a transition corridor and neighborhood activity center that covers this area, though the staff report had been prepared under the prior general plan because the new plan's publication timing did not align with the packet.

Commissioners asked whether access and future subdivision/site-plan requirements could ensure continued shared access if ownership changed; staff said access and maintenance questions are typically addressed during subdivision and site-plan review rather than the rezoning itself.

No public speakers appeared in person or online on the item. The commission recorded a roll-call vote in favor and will forward its positive recommendation and the staff findings to the City Council for final action.","The commission voted to forward a positive recommendation to the City Council to rezone a 0.43-acre parcel at 1270 East 8610 South from neighborhood commercial to RM-12 to allow four townhome-style units, based on staff analysis and the recently adopted general plan.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6683306,"Planning commission backs annexation of 5-acre FBAC Development 2 into Sandy with industrial zoning",148,3295000,3443000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2125218-6d2376a895bca6cbedf27039e3753d49&start=3295&end=3443","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2125218-6d2376a895bca6cbedf27039e3753d49/thumbnail_3295000.jpg","/articles/6683306/Sandy/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-backs-annexation-of-5-acre-FBAC-Development-2-into-Sandy-with-industrial-zoning","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6683306-aa3e431e8898e339ec1f52288ff63ed1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160727&Signature=RbdZP5KprKHfqJAKtRf1wiBS~oJK60yPgQx4pdpy0e3~7IqojN7pMHmcp3J1dtdfbBnTERPdHyBRDCoPbb0~S1irIOti9AkupgAOA-R2Q3uls6gtsCxKDSIYpY4-4YWEAcZmrCwuOVlEj7ucMF-6Rk8nNxLA9XJMP0aRmR-65fQL8d1RPeEZlUoOuVAk3JEBN~vc~HDV22IyAra~DxC-uPBPl8~VBmyZKY5I96-4WLpVjjpVbDoAAk2XckSxluCFcjUslVfIQiILMVbNDvfG-FfAw5Lxum~TkfGe0HjwrgXCG6Se70E989iWUWKiRNQGYLW95b2YF3QKFEp~D9v36g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sandy City Planning Commission on Oct. 27 voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council annex a roughly 5-acre portion of the FBAC Development 2 and zone it ID (industrial), based on findings in the staff report.

Jake Warner, the commission's long-range planning manager, told commissioners the item was a follow-up to a 25-acre annexation completed last year and that the additional 5-acre parcel adjusts which portion the developer plans to sell. Warner said the property is split between two county zones (A-2 residential and M-1 industrial in the county) and that staff recommends industrial zoning for the new five-acre piece based on the proposed uses and surrounding land uses.

No applicant or public speakers appeared at the hearing, and the commission moved directly to a recommendation. The vote was recorded by roll call and was unanimous in favor.

The commission recorded the motion'and-roll-call votes on the record; all seven voting members present supported forwarding a positive recommendation to the City Council.

The presenter cited Utah Code section 52-4-101 as the statutory source and summarized key requirements: public meetings generally must be noticed at least 24 hours in advance; agendas must include date, time and place; minutes and complete recordings are public records; and many routine decisions require a quorum of members. The presenter also said pending minutes should be available within 30 days and approved minutes within three days, and that audio recordings must be available within three days.

The trainer urged conservative practice on social gatherings and side conversations, advising that any gathering where a quorum might be present should be publicly noticed. He said emergency meetings are rare but legal only when urgent, and even then the body must document attempts to notify absent members and provide as much public notice as possible. He also discussed allowable reasons for closed meetings, including litigation, personnel matters, security and certain procurement or property discussions, and advised consultation with legal counsel for borderline cases.

On public records and disclosure, the presenter cautioned that electronic communications among members during a public meeting are subject to GRAMA (the Government Records Access and Management Act) and said officials should be mindful that texts or emails sent during a meeting may become public records. He also explained that bodies must adopt an ordinance to hold electronic meetings, that an \"anchor\" location is normally required, and that recordings must be complete and unedited.

The trainer recommended clear, consistent minutes that identify members present and absent, the substance of matters discussed, and vote records; stressed that minutes are the legislative body's record; and encouraged regular annual posting of meeting schedules. He also discussed Robert's Rules of Order as a helpful template for structuring debate and votes while cautioning against overburdening procedural rules.

Commissioners asked practical questions about public comment time limits, handling substitute motions, and enforcement of parking or private-access issues tied to future development. The presenter said best practice is to publish public-comment time limits on agendas and gave examples of common local practices (two to three minutes per speaker, with flexibility when many speakers are present).

The presentation closed with a brief discussion of how chairs should manage decorum and public participation so meetings remain welcoming and not intimidating to attendees.","A trainer reviewed Utah's Open and Public Meetings Act, public-records obligations under GRAMA, and recommended meeting management practices for Sandy City bodies, emphasizing notice, minutes, and transparency.","actionData","errors"]
