Swales with a gentle slope (less than 4% average) are the most effective at treating stormwater. The maximum slope must be less than 6%. Facility storage depth may range from 2 to 12 inches. A freeboard (6 to 12 inches) may be required if the adjacent area would be damaged by flooding. Maximum side slopes are 3 horizontal to 1 vertical; slopes and depths should be minimized to the extent practical for aesthetic and safety reasons.
Design Review is the process of evaluating design components of a building proposal relative to standards contained in the Development Code. Design review typically looks at components of the development related to the site, such as building orientation, parking, landscaping and physical aspects of the building design. The City has adopted “Sandy Style” design standards which guide the look of most buildings.
A Conditional Use is a use that would generally not be appropriate within a particular area but, if controlled, would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of that area. Conditional Use requests require notification to adjoining property owners and are reviewed by the Planning Commission. For new development, uses required to obtain Conditional Use approval also typically require design review.
When is a Conditional Use Permit required?
Potential Conditional Uses are listed in each zoning district.
A clear vision area shall be maintained on each corner of property adjacent to the intersection of two streets, a street and a railroad, and on driveways providing vehicular access to a public way, excluding alleys.
If you operate a restaurant or other public food service facility, including mobile food units or temporary events where food is sold, you need a license. You will be regularly inspected by the County Environmental Health Specialists to ensure your facility is safe and clean.
Our goal is to make operating here in Sandy as easy as possible. If you do not find the permit and licensing information you are looking for, contact City of Sandy Permit Technician Jann Reed at 503-489-2173 building@cityofsandy.com
