Wasatch Front Regional Council awards Sandy $200,000 grant for development-code rewrite
Summary
City staff reported that the Wasatch Front Regional Council recommended positive approval of Sandy’s station area plans and awarded a $200,000 grant to support a development‑code rewrite; staff said the work will likely begin this summer and the city may hire outside help.
City planning staff told the Sandy Planning Commission that the Wasatch Front Regional Council recommended positive approval of the city’s station area plans and awarded the city a $200,000 grant to support a rewrite of Sandy’s development code.
Brian (identified in the record as the assistant community development director) said the council was “very positive and excited” about Sandy’s station‑area plans and that the Wasatch Front award will help fund the larger development‑code rewrite. “We’ll probably start that process this summer,” Brian said, and staff noted they anticipate hiring assistance for the project.
Why it matters: a development‑code rewrite can shape the city’s zoning and implementation of station‑area plans; the grant will provide direct funding for that work.
Next steps: staff said they will begin the process this summer and look to hire consultants or additional staff to assist with the rewrite. The commission was reminded that April meetings are planned for April 3 and April 17.
