Council agrees to move AJM Investments annexation toward development/annexation agreement and public hearing
Summary
AJM Investments has completed water and sewer studies but not power and traffic; the developer asked the council whether to proceed. Council instructed staff to begin an annexation/development-agreement process and schedule further public hearings.
The Parowan City Council directed staff March 27 to move forward with next steps on AJM Investments LLC’s proposed annexation and zoning, advancing the matter toward a development (annexation) agreement and subsequent public hearing.
The developer’s engineer, Dallas Buckner, and representatives told council they had completed water and sewer studies but had not yet completed power and traffic studies. Buckner said the four studies originally requested by the council — water, sewer, power and traffic — would cost about $29,000 in the aggregate. He said the developer is willing to commit to completing required studies as part of a formal annexation/development agreement once the property is placed inside city jurisdiction.
Council members and staff discussed process steps: an annexation would be followed by negotiation of a development agreement, then a public hearing and final council action. Several council members supported staff drafting an annexation/development agreement that would require the developer to fund power and traffic studies and meet other conditions during subdivision review. The council moved to proceed; a motion to begin the development/annexation-agreement process and bring a draft to the next council meeting carried by voice vote.
Council members emphasized that final engineering details and requirements for additional access, phasing and master‑plan correlations will be addressed during the development-agreement and subdivision review process.
