Council approves annexation of three parcels near 8600 S.; ordinance 25-24 adopted 7–0
Summary
After a staff presentation and no public comment, the council voted 7–0 to adopt ordinance 25-24 annexing three contiguous parcels (about 1.07 acres) near 8564–8590 South 1000 East, applying R‑1‑10 and R‑2‑10 zoning to conform with surrounding development and to legalize an existing duplex.
City planning staff presented the Fortner Annexation proposal, describing a request to annex three contiguous parcels (two with the same address, one occupied by a single-family home and one vacant; plus a corner duplex) totaling about one acre at and near 8564 and 8590 South 1000 East. Staff recommended R‑1‑10 zoning for the single-family parcels and R‑2‑10 for the duplex parcel so the duplex would be a conforming use after annexation.
"We're proposing to annex 3 different parcels...the existing zoning in the county for all 3 properties is an R-1, and we've typically brought those in as an R-1-10 zone because it does require 10,000 square feet per single family dwelling," the presenter said. The Planning Commission reviewed the request on Sept. 18 and forwarded a positive recommendation for the annexation and zoning.
No members of the public signed up to speak during the hearing, and the council closed the comment period. Councilmember Cindy Sharkey moved to adopt ordinance 25-24 to annex the parcels as described; the motion passed on roll call with the result reported as "that motion carried 7 to 0." The ordinance sets the parcels' zoning so the existing duplex becomes conforming when incorporated into Sandy.
