Brigham City Council approves annexations along SR‑13 and assigns zoning
Summary
On March 19, the council approved annexation of 5.59 acres at SR‑13/2400 West and a 495.17‑acre airport‑area annexation, then adopted zoning assignments for the parcels after staff presentations; no public comments were offered at the hearings.
Brigham City’s council on March 19 approved two annexations along State Route 13 and adopted corresponding zoning assignments after hearing staff presentations and brief council discussion.
The council opened and closed public hearings on a 5.59‑acre parcel near SR‑13 and 2400 West and a separate 495.17‑acre set of parcels north of the Brigham City Airport with no members of the public speaking. City staff described the smaller annexation as a single parcel plus roadway and Union Pacific railroad right‑of‑way; the larger annexation covers multiple Brigham City Corporation parcels on the airport’s north side. Planning staff said the annexations would extend the city boundary and that zoning assignments would follow the annexation approvals.
Council member Jensen moved to approve the 5.59‑acre annexation; the motion was seconded and approved on a roll‑call vote. Council later approved the 495.17‑acre annexation following staff presentations and a separate public‑hearing period.
After both annexations were accepted, the council considered and passed ordinances assigning zoning districts to the newly annexed lands. Staff told the council the airport‑area parcels would receive a mix of industrial and agricultural zoning consistent with the general plan and that the smaller corner parcel was recommended for general commercial (GC) zoning by the planning commission.
Mayor and staff emphasized that annexation is the first step; if the council supports the annexation, subsequent actions — including specific zone assignments and development review — will follow. Planning staff and council members also noted connectivity and access questions that will be addressed during zoning and development review.
The council voted on the annexations and zoning assignments by roll call; minutes record the motions and that the ordinances passed. No public opposition was recorded during the hearings, and related implementation steps (detailed zoning and development review) were left to future agenda items.
