Council approves annexation of vacant Baker property inside Shelton UGA

The Shelton City Council approved an ordinance annexing a vacant parcel known as the Baker property into the city limits. Senior Planner Jason Dose told the council the parcel is inside the city's urban growth area and is prezoned residential; staff said the item was heard at a public hearing on Aug. 19 and no new contacts or objections had been received.

Dose described the annexation as adding a larger vacant parcel adjacent to city limits. The council moved to adopt ordinance number 2030-0625 and authorized the mayor to sign the ordinance, completing the annexation process and incorporating the property into the city's corporate limits.

No further conditions or zoning changes were approved beyond the incorporation and application of the city's prezoning designation; staff will complete administrative steps to record the annexation.
