Sandy meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Sandy council agendas list Canyon Gate rezoning, water plan and a $30M bond vote; no minutes yet published

Sandy City Council agendas over the past two weeks listed a water conservation plan, reconsideration of the Canyon Gate land-use requests and a police property transfer. The city has not published minutes for any of those meetings, so no votes, outcomes or tallies can be confirmed from the records available. The most concrete item on the calendar is a Nov. 3 bond election.

Canyon Gate reconsideration on the Oct. 20 agenda

The Oct. 20 council agenda listed votes to reconsider previous actions on the Canyon Gate project: a General Plan Amendment changing 7.2 acres from Institutional (IN) to Medium Density Neighborhood (MN), and a rezone of the same 7.2 acres from R-1-8 to PUD(12) along with an associated development agreement.

The same agenda listed adoption of the 2026 Sandy Water Conservation Plan, an update on preparations for the opening of the Sandy Recreation Center, and a discussion regarding the Justice Court Building and Justice Court.
