Council approves annexation of about 16.67 acres at 4505 North Canyon Road
Summary
Provo City Council unanimously approved annexing roughly 16.67 acres at about 4505 North Canyon Road into the city; the land will come in with the least-dense agricultural zoning and a mandatory notice and certification process remains before final effect.
Provo City Council voted 5-0 Tuesday to approve a petition to annex approximately 16.67 acres at roughly 4505 North Canyon Road in the North Timphew neighborhood.
City planner Jessica Donnecke told the council the annexation is a continuation of an earlier filing and that, if certified following the council vote, the area will be incorporated under the city’s annexation policy and come into the city as agricultural zoning (A-1-40, described by staff as the least-dense agricultural zone). Donnecke said no definitive development plans have been submitted; property owners who seek higher density would need to file a rezone application and return to the council for approval.
The annexation area also includes a portion of Foothill Drive that has remained county property although the city maintains the road, Donnecke said. She described the procedural steps that follow a favorable council vote: county noticing and certification, a mandatory waiting period, and final state certification before the annexation becomes effective.
Sharon Mehmet, representing a district board that reviewed the proposal, spoke during public comment and thanked staff for clarifying the incoming zoning and the process for any future rezones. No opponents spoke during the public comment period.
The motion passed 5-0 with Councilors George Handley, Katrice McKay, Becky Bogdan, Rachel Whipple and Gary Garrett voting yes; Councilors Christiansen and Hoban were recorded as excused.
If property owners later seek development that would increase density, Donnecke said they must apply for rezoning and the matter would return to the planning and council review process.
