Moab council accepts annexation petitions from National Ability Center to begin certification process
Summary
The City Council accepted two annexation petitions from the National Ability Center to start the formal annexation and certification process for roughly 0.25‑acre parcels at Cermak Lane; both acceptance motions passed unanimously.
The Moab City Council on April 8 accepted annexation petitions from sponsors for the National Ability Center for two adjacent parcels on Cermak Lane and directed staff to proceed with the certification process, the first formal step in annexation.
City planning staff explained the parcels are contiguous to property the National Ability Center already owns inside city limits and that a prior pre‑annexation agreement was previously approved. Staff noted accepting the petition only starts the statutory annexation process; the petitions will next go to the Planning Commission for review, followed by public hearings and final council action. If protests arise, the matter could proceed to the state boundary commission, staff said.
Councilmember Colin moved to accept the petition for the parcel identified in meeting materials as at 611 (read as 1611 earlier in the packet) Cermak Lane; the motion was seconded by Luke and passed 5‑0. The council then separately accepted a second petition for approximately 0.25 acres at 602 Cermak Lane on a motion by Luke, seconded by Tawny; that motion also passed 5‑0.
Staff recommended acceptance based on the pre‑annexation agreement and urged the council that the acceptance “starts the clock” on the required review process; councilmembers expressed support for the project and for moving it forward.
