Electronic Meeting Planning Commission Chairman Statement In accordance with, Utah Code 52-4-207(4) Open and Public Meeting Act, I have determined that to protect the health and welfare of Sandy citizens, an in person Planning Commission meeting, including attendance by the public and the Planning Commission is not practical or prudent. Considering the continued rise of COVID-19 case counts in Utah, meeting in an anchor location presents substantial risk to the health and safety of those in attendance because physical distancing measures may be difficult to maintain in the Sandy City Council Chambers. The Center for Disease Control states that COVID-19 is easily spread from person to person between people who are in close contact with one another. The spread is through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks and may be spread by people who are non-symptomatic. It is my intent to safeguard the lives of Sandy residents, business owners, employees and commission members by meeting remotely through electronic means without an anchor location. Community Development staff are hereby authorized and directed to include a copy of the above notice with each Planning Commission agenda.

Monica Collard asked if there are restrictions based on how many accessory dwelling units per year or quarter and asked for clarification on what defines a moderate income and if bathrooms are allowed in guest houses. Mike Wilcox said we are not allowed to restrict the number of ADU's. The term moderate income is found within the purpose statement of this code as this is a way to provide affordable housing. Moderate income is not defined in this particular section of the code. Bathrooms are allowed in guest homes. Jeff Lovell asked about the maximum number of occupants allowed. Mike Wilcox said we can't restrict that based on relationship status and that cities were given tools to enforce the mandate should violations of this regulation occur. Jeff Lovell asked if these would be reviewed by Planning Commission going forward. Mike Wilcox said no. Jeff Lovell opened this item to public comment. Steve van Maren asked about maps that were attached to this item. Jeff Lovell closed this item to public comment. Mike Wilcox said it was additional information that City Council had requested. The maps show the current number of applications that have been received and processed. Jeff Lovell asked if we require licensing for rentals.
