4^th Quarter Report 2022 – Approved Residential Development:

Attached is an updated and reformatted list showing all approved residential development, including multifamily dwelling units, through December 30, 2022.  It is worth noting that some of the 49 single family detached/duplex lots will contain two dwelling units, such as the lots in the Trimble PD.  We issued 20 single family homes between October and December in Shaylee Meadows and Jewelberry Meadows.  All lots in Shaylee Meadows havebeen issued. We also issued one accessory dwelling unit in Jewelberry Meadows. In the month of December, the Bull Run Terrace tentative plat was approved for an additional 7 lots with a cap of 200 dwelling units.

Staff is currently reviewing all nine lots in Jewelberry Ridge with seven single family homes and two duplexes. We are also reviewing one single family home on a vacant lot on American Street and one single family home on a vacant lot on Stefenee Court.

You will receive the next update in April 2023.

Kelly’s Kudos:

I would like to thank Hollis Maclean-Wenzel for her five years of service on the Planning Commission.  Her time spent on the Commission and in the capacity as Vice Chair was instrumental in transforming this body.  Her passion for the community, calm demeanor, and balanced approach to decision making was highly valued by staff.  Commissioner Maclean-Wenzel helped pass important code provisions and participated in some of the most hotly debated land use proceedings in the history of Sandy.  Staff will miss Commissioner Maclean-Wenzel on the Sandy Planning Commission and wish her the best in all of her future endeavors.
