The Sandy Planning Commission meeting on August 7, 2025, focused on several key developments, including the approval of a new Jordan Credit Union branch and updates on land development codes.
The commission reviewed a proposal for a new credit union located at 9260 South 300 East. The project includes a basement level designated for storage, which will not accommodate third-party storage. Due to site changes, the credit union requested a 20% reduction in required parking spaces, justified by a parking study that met three out of five criteria set by city regulations. The commission approved this request, allowing for an eight-stall reduction in parking.
Additionally, the architectural design of the new building complied with Sandy City’s standards. The commission also granted a conditional use permit for a drive-up window and vehicle queuing layout, essential for the credit union's operations.
In other business, the commission approved the preliminary subdivision and site plan reviews for the credit union, with all motions passing unanimously.
The meeting concluded with an update on the land development code, which has received funding approval. The city plans to engage a consultant for this project by the end of the year.
The next Planning Commission meeting is tentatively scheduled for August 21, 2025, pending confirmation.
