Summary:
The current Annexation code does not make it clear that properties requesting annexation will need to demonstrate that they can and will develop in a manner consistent with adopted City of Sandy plans such as the Comprehensive Plan, Transportation System Plan, Parks and Trails Master Plan, public facility plans, and other applicable area and master plans. The proposed amendments more clearly identify annexation criteria and required submittal items. The amendments have been reviewed by legal counsel.
