Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Sandy City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Kimballs Lane and Draper Town Center Station Area Plans
The city is seeking an exemption from state-mandated station area plans for its small portions of the Kimballs Lane and Draper Town Center transit stations because those areas are already fully developed residential neighborhoods.
State Mandate for Detached Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)
To comply with new state legislation under SB 284 taking effect October 1, Sandy is updating its land development code to allow detached ADUs on residential lots of 11,000 square feet or larger. The council reviewed proposed standards for setbacks, height, and parking.
Buildable Area and Sensitive Lands
Neighbors are worried a new house on a steep hillside could cause landslides or road damage. City engineers say geotechnical tests and strict safety rules, like shoring up the road and upgrading drainage pipes, make the project safe.
Recreational Vehicle Parking Enforcement
Proposed changes to RV parking rules aim to give police more tools to enforce parking violations, potentially improving street accessibility and aesthetics.
