Council to review Mulberry annexation concept (about 402 units); staff recommends waiting for development agreement
Summary
An applicant presented a concept plan for the Mulberry annexation showing roughly 402 units; staff told council the concept is not ready for approval and recommended tabling while a development agreement is negotiated or denying the application; no vote was taken.
Santaquin staff presented a Mulberry annexation concept plan showing roughly 402 total residential units and asked the council to treat the submittal as a concept rather than a final approval request.
Jason told the council the packet includes two sheets showing “about 402 total units” in the proposed annexation, but he recommended against approving the project that evening because the development agreement had not yet been completed. “If it meets your needs and something that you're willing to consider, then you can direct staff to table and we would go to work on a development agreement or the option is to deny it as well,” Jason said.
Why it matters: annexations and development agreements change municipal boundaries, permit levels of service and affect future infrastructure obligations; a 400‑unit project would be a large addition of housing if approved.
Staff emphasized the item in the packet is a concept plan that would be part of future development if the council accepts it; multiple follow‑up steps were outlined including drafting a development agreement and subsequent preliminary and final phase reviews.
Next steps: staff asked whether the council wanted to direct staff to pursue a development agreement or to deny. The council did not take a formal vote during the work session; staff recommended not approving the annexation that night because the development agreement was incomplete.
