The developer, Brad Reynolds, said the project would use materials similar to other recent Sandy developments and include community amenities and on-site guest parking. \"We have gone through extensive review with the zoning that's in place, and we have certainly made several changes to the site plan to try and make it amenable to the neighbors,\" Reynolds said.

Commissioners and staff said the development meets the city's PUD-10 standards and that transportation requirements will be met over time. \"It is our intent to add a traffic signal on 700 East once that traffic signal warrants,\" said Britney Ward, assistant public works director and city engineer. Ward and transportation staff said the developer will donate right-of-way on Siz Road and that the city will install a signal there when warranted; they also described planned road widening to minor-collector standards to accommodate three lanes and turn pockets.

The project includes a private internal street that will be maintained by a homeowners association rather than dedicated as a public right-of-way. The commission approved special exceptions allowing privately maintained streets, units that do not front public streets, and narrower street dedications in the private portion. \"This will be a planned development. It'll have an HOA. It will be privately maintained,\" staff said during the presentation.

Neighbors who spoke during public comment expressed concerns about traffic, speeding and sight lines on Siz Road and nearby Harvard Park. John Glassy, a nearby resident, asked whether the city would add speed mitigation measures: \"Is that road gonna be widened? Is there any plan for that to be widened a little bit?\" Albert Susie, another nearby resident, said Siz Road is \"already a busy, narrow street\" and asked how the new development would affect safety and parking.

Staff and the developer responded that the project provides the ordinance-required two covered parking spaces per unit plus 12 guest parking stalls distributed across the site; staff said parking stall dimensions meet city code and that additional on-street parking is not supported on Siz Road because the planned cross section does not allow it. Reynolds said the units will each include a two-car garage and that additional parking is provided in shared guest stalls and driveway areas.

The planning commission voted separately on the three requests. A motion approving the special exceptions carried; a subsequent motion found the preliminary site plan substantially complete; and the preliminary subdivision review was also approved. Commissioners asked for continued coordination with transportation staff on the timing and design of the Siz Road widening and the future traffic signal.

Commissioners also requested that the applicant continue to address concerns raised by nearby residents, including sight-line and emergency-access questions. The developer said the perimeter will include a six-foot concrete precast wall on the north and east property lines to buffer adjacent homes and provide privacy.

Staff noted the Greenway collector will bisect the property as required by the city's transportation master plan; that connection is intended to provide a secondary exit for existing neighborhoods to the north and to support future development west of the site. Road and signal improvements will be completed in phases as development and warranting conditions occur.

The commission recorded separate votes on the three items; each motion passed with an affirmative majority of commissioners present. Conditions listed in staff reports accompany each approval and will be enforced at final site-plan and subdivision submittal.

Planning staff and the applicant said they will return with refined construction plans during subsequent reviews, including final engineering details, landscaping and the precise design of the private street and guest-parking layout.

The commission’s approvals allow the project to move to the next steps of engineering and permitting, subject to the conditions in the staff reports and future coordination with public works and transportation staff.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Sandy - Planning Commission on 2025-02-06 6:15 PM - Feb 06, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Sandy City Planning Commission on Wednesday approved a three-part application for The Meadows at Siz Road, a 33-unit planned development at 8777 South 700 East, including seven single-family homes and 26 townhomes, and granted three special exceptions for private-street configuration and street-improvement requirements.","taxTitle","Sandy, Salt Lake County, Utah","taxId",2944,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6674910,"Sandy City announces Public Works staffing changes; planning commissioners briefed on mandatory training and city initiatives",225,210000,435000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2245608-30309139927ab2b4efbce0bc17b7331c&start=210&end=435","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2245608-30309139927ab2b4efbce0bc17b7331c/thumbnail_210000.jpg","/articles/6674910/Sandy/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Sandy-City-announces-Public-Works-staffing-changes-planning-commissioners-briefed-on-mandatory-training-and-city-initiatives","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6674910-a1d941690035f6dba397c643501682fe/orig.mp4?Expires=1771122964&Signature=buRXTigsCpVfwUk8RdnOEZgWxhwroq~cfJsOLC30J6ZUdt8myMD-OUnWxtIF-CoJTpUvNrKMyNqeyyGGVVoHmGn1sWiNXa~haECC3chvpdUnXj0J7WL4slz1e9w~7Bt9T23tmfTKMKUVVs9XcbKiUqqPa5yu689Bp4PORr5aERNl7r08a8AnGVWWkmQey81Vk6HgP5dJEq46ClNWI-Jo30PL0PnL3sAgoR4iBLydpqvxpW1NgH5sHHBIszTkIbI3r~vN-j5s5qFUK-5V1g3WzDgDmQFLAejba0ArdFjBBlI4SXxETveEZaI3YKIeGzQNGPxxo35fiJWr0jeoRWcU9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the start of the meeting the Planning Commission heard administrative matters including introductions to new public‑works staff, an explanation of mandatory training and several city planning updates.

Brittany (Britney) Ward, assistant public works director and city engineer, introduced two new staff who will regularly attend planning‑commission meetings: Travis Ackerman, assistant city engineer, and Ivan Hooper, transportation engineer. \"Both really great experience, great addition to our engineering team,\" Ward said. Ward and staff said they will transition attendance responsibilities from existing staff to the new engineers as projects advance.

The commission also viewed a state‑mandated training video from the Utah League of Cities and Towns about the council–mayor (strong‑mayor) form of government; Jared Teague, legal director for the Utah League of Cities and Towns, presented via webinar and reviewed statutory powers and duties of mayors and councils. Teague discussed mayoral appointment powers, reporting duties and veto authority as outlined in state code.

In administrative business, Community Development Director James Sorensen and staff reported that the City Council recently approved a final short‑term rental ordinance and that the adopted general plan documents are now available; staff said a comprehensive code update effort is planned and that they are seeking competitive grant funding to support the process. The council has also started discussion on detached accessory dwelling unit (ADU) rules, staff said, and noted there are pending state legislative proposals that could affect ADU policy.

Commissioners were asked to track training hours required by the state and to inform staff if they need access to recorded sessions. Staff said the city will continue to brief commissioners on items where their input is necessary and that new public‑works staff will handle regular project attendance.","Sandy City introduced two new transportation staff, outlined state‑mandated planning‑commission training and reported administrative updates including a final short‑term rental ordinance and progress on the general plan and ADU discussion.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6674913,"Planning commission approves updated Ninetieth South mixed‑use master plan, including attainable townhomes",805,5684000,6489000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2245608-30309139927ab2b4efbce0bc17b7331c&start=5684&end=6489","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2245608-30309139927ab2b4efbce0bc17b7331c/thumbnail_5684000.jpg","/articles/6674913/Sandy/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-updated-Ninetieth-South-mixeduse-master-plan-including-attainable-townhomes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6674913-8a68130571774df9c53d7fcdc5da105a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771122964&Signature=k5PcyYCq5CVffBlxXnAU7lKLR1A2fTfERkgDBiqqzxiyH1gxqBfqZluwmby~TgMKi2MCV~WvYOKMDvQYlXcDv5U6Zche9M485BscZ3KVIlROMbXOWx-8Tmh01mG5BwLmAtoPtP~iEeWxJdQZ4Bj1MHxsCP0tYTFcOxCZiGPWIU4SoCavdl~VRV25ZzMOWo27ZuXV8OwmgXqXnilntrZwdhAULKsRStwQuWKkfklPxgZ~Wis7nbYkl118XGhc~p10tRmEbsastomUZ0FAFmJjItlvXoC541~MSIczUBo8t6enFSQtQqdnqGlNxFmvgd~h16DMPXhtm4Nx8ok4M4L0lw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sandy City Planning Commission approved an update to the Ninetieth South mixed‑use master plan that adjusts an earlier master plan to allow D.R. Horton’s proposal for attainable for‑sale townhomes and to show how the adjacent auto dealership and a medically vulnerable population shelter might be integrated into future redevelopment.

David Kelly of D.R. Horton, representing the applicant, said the company has land under contract to build 64 three‑story townhomes intended to be for‑sale at a lower price point than much of the recent product in the city. \"We'd be building attainable townhomes — 3 stories, about 2,020 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 2‑car garages,\" Kelly said.

Zach Hartman, representing the land owners, described marketing and buyer-selection approaches intended to prioritize owner‑occupants. \"Our goal is to drive down your median home price,\" Hartman said. He described potential early marketing to city employees, first responders and teachers and measures to reduce investor purchases in initial sales.

Staff said the update does not authorize development immediately but alters the guiding master plan for the properties near Harrison Street and Monroe Avenue to reflect likely future phases. Mike Wilcox, planning director, said staff worked with the property owners and neighbors to show potential phasing and to allow future site‑plan reviews and permitting to implement the updated concept.

Commissioners approved the amendment based on the findings and conditions listed in the staff report. Staff told the commission that each future phase will return for its own site‑plan review and engineering approvals.

The updated master plan shows connections between phases and options for eventual redevelopment of the auto dealer parcel, and includes the shelter site in long‑range planning. The commission’s approval sets the framework for future land‑use applications but does not itself approve building permits or final subdivisions.","Commission approved amendments to a previously adopted mixed‑use master plan to allow attainable for‑sale townhomes and integrate the existing auto dealership and a medical‑vulnerable shelter into long‑term redevelopment planning.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":44,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6674916,"Planning commission approves sign theme for Boyer South Town 2 building on Centennial Parkway",377,3367000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2245608-30309139927ab2b4efbce0bc17b7331c&start=3367&end=3744","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2245608-30309139927ab2b4efbce0bc17b7331c/thumbnail_3367000.jpg","/articles/6674916/Sandy/Salt-Lake-County/Utah/Planning-commission-approves-sign-theme-for-Boyer-South-Town-2-building-on-Centennial-Parkway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6674916-656b85340404da124399b868b7b85e5b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771122964&Signature=XaEbVdtCkbRZ9xB-beSAcyj9KbooJsloyApYv872P2G5g42w70QNzxXsOx5Yv6mBchk8QQraUQ5olAI8KkUh6HzxJD7vrxqru-n5MiWvM-W1yc~QRC3H9yZn9rG6ewII9FGslh~FKfOOrBzFaDsnTqxs9F4G2QcxwXrAwf1Acnlv3-E2T7yt3SkS9tBdZYj3cRSEhpaZDQX5BRRY~KOAoPxjndm1~9w4N-ARUDWi~NpzKilxhfR8L4FzUhCBmNn-paK2Fm0H4-wRjQRloq3VnwKVHJlCv0LsjB4gLSmyKEYAU1ZgnmWh-ckYJGbRRgg-vOTqplKvD~pLoI-f5YZF0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sandy City Planning Commission on Wednesday approved a sign theme for the Boyer South Town 2 building at 10150 South Centennial Parkway that will allow multiple tenant signs on the multistory, multi-tenant building.

Spencer Summerhays, representing Boyer Company, told commissioners the building — originally built as a single-tenant fit-for-purpose facility for Aetna that has been remodeled — is being reconfigured for multiple tenants. \"We are now working through a multi-tenanting process,\" Summerhays said. \"Our plan is always, number one, meet city code.\"

Mike Wilcox, planning director, said staff had no concerns with the proposed sign locations and clarified that the sign theme approves locations; each tenant will still need to submit individual sign permits that meet Sandy City code. \"Once they do have space they will have to submit for a sign permit, to put up the sign,\" Wilcox said.

The commission approved the request on a motion that referenced the two findings and three conditions in the staff report. Commissioners recorded votes in favor and the motion carried. Conditions require the applicant to meet the city's sign code at the time of permit application and to return for any future sign-theme amendments.

The commission’s approval allows the applicant to proceed with tenant sign permit applications in the approved locations; any additional signage would require an amendment to the sign theme.","The Planning Commission approved a sign theme that will allow multiple signs on the multi-tenant Boyer South Town 2 building at 10150 South Centennial Parkway; staff said future sign permits must comply with city code.","actionData","errors"]
