Council approves 0.63-acre boundary adjustment with Provo along 1400 North

Springville City Council on a roll-call vote approved Ordinance 8 20 25 to adjust the common boundary with Provo City, transferring roughly 0.63 acres along 1400 North into Springville.

The change affects a narrow sliver of land adjacent to a road constructed by Provo as part of development north of 1400 North. City staff said the parcel is currently owned by Springville Rising, LLC; once both cities adopt matching ordinances and complete required filings the parcel will be inside Springville’s corporate limits.

City staff explained the adjustment follows a previous council resolution and a statutorily required 60-day public-notice period during which no protests were filed. A public hearing was opened and closed with no members of the public speaking for or against the boundary adjustment.

Council discussion focused on maintenance and frontage questions: who would maintain sidewalks and whether utilities or drainage pipes running through the parcel would be affected. Staff said the developer of the frontage will be responsible under Springville ordinances to construct sidewalks that meet city requirements, and that coordination between Springville, Provo and the property owner is ongoing. Staff also said notices to the lieutenant governor’s office and a recorded plat will be completed after Provo finalizes its ordinance.

The ordinance was presented for adoption as part of the public hearing. Council member Wright abstained from the final vote citing a conflict of interest; other council members present voted in favor of the ordinance.

The boundary adjustment will become effective after Provo completes its approving ordinance and the city completes the statutory filings.
