Council approves annexation of parcel off Ranken Road for planned housing development
Summary
The council approved Resolution 2026-05 to annex a property off Ranken Road (tax map 047147-02) into Newport at the owners' request; council said the parcel is adjacent and suitable for housing development.
The Newport City Council approved Resolution 2026-05 to annex a parcel off Ranken Road (tax map 047147-02) into city limits after the property owners requested incorporation.
A presenter told the council the site is adjacent to the city and described the plan of service, noting the property is intended for housing development and not difficult to service with city utilities. Council members moved and the motion passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: annexation changes the municipal boundary for the parcel, makes it eligible for city services, and enables the owner-identified plan for housing development to proceed under city jurisdiction.
No recorded conditions, specific developer names or vote tallies were provided in the transcript; council approved the resolution by motion and voice vote.
