Roy City Council reviews site plan for Hazel Project townhome development

The Roy City Planning Commission convened on May 13, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including annexation proposals and a new housing project. The meeting began with a discussion on the potential annexation of a specific property, where concerns about property owners' rights and political implications were raised. The commissioners emphasized that annexation is contingent upon the property owners' willingness to join the city, noting that past annexations have involved petitions and votes from affected property owners.

The conversation highlighted the importance of communication with all property owners in the area, as some had not expressed interest in annexation. The commissioners clarified that while property owners can initiate annexation applications, the final decision rests with the city and an annexation commission that ensures compliance with regulations.

Following the annexation discussion, the commission moved on to agenda item number six, which involved a request for site plan and architectural approval for the Hazel Project, a proposed 17-unit townhome development located at approximately 4060 South Sandridge Drive. The applicant, Taylor Anderson from Cole West, presented updates to the project based on previous feedback from the commission.

The meeting concluded with a focus on the importance of community input and adherence to planning regulations as the city continues to grow and develop. The commission's next steps will involve further review of the Hazel Project and continued discussions on annexation proposals.
