Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Sandy City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
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.
Intersection Safety
Residents voiced concerns about dangerous speeding on residential streets like David Street, noting that the city's portable speed boards are booked out and in short supply.
Crescent View General Obligation Bond
Sandy City is asking voters to approve a $30 million bond to buy the old Crescent View Middle School property for green space and community use, which would cost the average homeowner about $5 a month. Supporters say it's a rare chance to lock down 17 acres of open space before developers snap it up, while opponents argue the $17 million purchase price is well above appraised value and will saddle taxpayers with hefty ongoing maintenance costs.
