The Sandy City Council on Oct. 20 reconsidered its Sept. 15 action on the Canyon Gate application and approved three items for the 7.2-acre site: a general plan amendment, a rezone and a development agreement. [1][2]
The council voted 6-1 to change the site's future land use designation from Institutional to Medium Density Neighborhood. It voted 5-2 to rezone the property from R-1-8 to a planned unit development, PUD(12), and 5-2 to approve the development agreement. Council Members Kris Nicholl and Cyndi Sharkey voted no on the rezone and the development agreement. [2]
The council took the items up again because the development agreement changed. The council was told at the meeting that the principal change was the developer's agreement to put rental restrictions in the homeowners association's covenants. The earlier version restricted rentals only while the developer owned the units. The new version limits rentals to no more than 20% of the total units for five years after the sale of those units, enforced by the association. [2]
The agenda lists the general plan amendment as Ordinance 26-51, the rezone as Ordinance 26-52 and the development agreement as Resolution 26-84C. [1]
