Kane County commissioners give informal backing to Old Fort Ranch development-agreement edits
Summary
The Kane County Commission informally supported edits to the Old Fort Ranch development agreement, directing County Attorney Jeff Stott to revise the draft (strike annexation language, permit transfer after hotel occupancy with notice, and modify mediation language) and forward it to the applicant and Kanab City before Planning & Zoning review on May 13.
Chair Gwen Brown and fellow commissioners reviewed a proposed development agreement for the Old Fort Ranch property (parcels 4-7-2-1 and 4-7-3-1A) with applicant Greg Wyatt during the April 28, 2026 meeting. County Attorney Jeff Stott and the commissioners proposed several specific edits intended to make the draft acceptable for review by Kanab City and the county Planning & Zoning office.
The commission, in informal and nonbinding discussion, directed Attorney Jeff Stott to remove Section 3.10 and delete the annexation language from the draft. They also agreed to revise transfer provisions so the applicant may transfer the agreement to a third party only after a hotel occupancy permit has been issued and that the county must receive notice of any such transfer. The mediation clause was to be changed so mediation would occur only if both parties agree to it.
Brown asked Stott to incorporate those changes and send the revised draft to Greg Wyatt; once returned the attorney will forward it to Kanab City for its review and to Planning & Zoning ahead of the scheduled May 13 hearing. Commissioners present indicated support for that path; no formal, binding approval of the agreement occurred at the meeting.
The discussion was limited to shaping language and next procedural steps: the county’s action was an informal indication of support for edits rather than final approval of the project or annexation. The Planning & Zoning review and Kanab City review will determine whether the draft proceeds to a binding county action.
