Sandy City Planning Commission Meeting Summary - October 1, 2026

And um I will get into the Utah code requirements behind that, but uh uh well let me do that now.

What do

you

mean by the time that is taken directly from termination in practical?

I wasn't even sure the word impracticability was a word.

It means it's in practical, right?

Like

so, why are we doing a plan

that's in practical?

So uh that language is taken directly.

Recording in progress.

Wow.

Interesting.

That

it's definitely around the word.

There's a few ways that you can get out of doing a stationary plan.

And so you just have to prove that your area is impractical.

Oh, that's not share political reasons, which I'm sure.

Oh, is that what it is?

Yes.

If you prove that you're in practice, it's impractical, you can get out of it.

You can get out of

it, yeah.

Let's pass a law.

Um

tell

people

how to get around

where we're back.

However,

I run short ass.

Yeah.

Go ahead.

Nothing on there that's off first, it was whatever.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay.

Oh, same thing, but all that core of the meetings that I saw on Tuesdays.

Now, if you do that, um I can figure out where it should make it.

We was pleased that you got to see it.

Well, we learned from the city council how to

extend the

book for traffic.

Technical difficulties for some representative.

I kept

looking at full.

Well,

I heard they had an even key one.

So let's let's focus back on this one and then we're gonna go over that, right?

We can

cover the rest.

Okay.

So a couple of years ago, states put a requirement in the state code that cities within a half mile radius of a fixed guideway public transit station had to adopt a stationary plan and then had to follow that up with land use regulations to implement that plan.

So uh Sandy State, Sandy City has Sandy City has uh has actually has seven stations that apply where a portion of that half mile radius extends into Sandy City's boundary.

So we have four stations located in the city, and then two track stations in Brafford that put the city boundaries, and then the front runner station, South Georgia extending the city's boundaries.

With the general plan, we adopted five of those, and uh there's two remaining.

We have by the end of the year to meet the requirements.

The purpose of the state's requirement here are the objectives, increased housing affordability, more sustainable environmental conditions, and access to opportunities, increase transportation choices and connections.

The state code does allow for an exception.

Um a municipality has determined that it's in practical um to meet the requirements, uh the city can uh adopt the resolution stating the conditions by where they determine that it's a practical, and uh then that will waive the exempt the city from the requirement actually prepare a whole stationary plan.
