Summary
City staff presented an application to rezone 65 E A 110 S from Limited Commercial to R‑16 single‑family residential. The planning commission recommended approval; the applicant and nearby residents expressed support. The council will act on the request at a Jan. 21 meeting.
Sandy City staff presented an informational briefing on a proposed rezone for property addressed as 65 East A 110 South during the Jan. 17 meeting. Jake Warner, long‑range planning manager, summarized the application and said the applicant requested an R‑16 single‑family residential zoning designation.
Warner told the council the parcel is approximately 0.18 acre (about 7,000 square feet) and currently zoned Limited Commercial (LC). He said the R‑16 zone requires a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet per single‑family lot and that staff anticipates the parcel would still meet that minimum after any required right‑of‑way dedication for future road improvements on 110 South. Warner noted the property is surrounded by LC to the west, R‑110 to the north, former R‑140 on church property to the east, and R‑148 to the south.
Warner and staff said the planning commission forwarded a positive legislative recommendation. The applicant, Keith James, participated virtually and told the council he and Warner had met and that the neighborhood “wishes would happen” to see residential development and removal of dumping and blight on the site. Council staff noted a neighborhood meeting was held on Nov. 11 with limited attendance but with attendees supportive of redevelopment.
No final action was taken Jan. 17; the council scheduled the rezone for formal action at the Jan. 21 council meeting.
Speakers on the record included Jake Warner (Community Development), applicant Keith James (participating virtually), and council staff who noted neighborhood support from residents including Bruce Stedman.
