39705 Davis Street – Side Yard Setback Adjustment: The City received a land use application to allow for an adjustment to the Sandy Municipal Code (SMC) to reduce the side yard setback from five (5) feet to four (4) feet, nine (9) inches for a home addition along their west property line. The adjustment will assist in the construction of an addition to the existing home.

The adjustment procedure allows the Director or his/her designee to grant or deny an adjustment request that involves only the expansion or reduction of a quantifiable provision of the Sandy Development Code by not more than 20 percent. Their application qualified. The Developmental Services staff enjoys working with homeowners to find solutions and provide flexibility for their home additions and other investments into their properties.
