North Fields annexation boundary MOU amendment
Wasatch County has approved, and Heber City's council was asked on Oct. 20 to approve, a change to Section 6 of their 2019 memorandum on how the two governments handle annexation, land use and utilities. The North Fields, a rural farming area west of North US 40, north of Highway 113, east of the planned Heber Valley Western Corridor and north of 900 North, would stay out of Heber City's annexation boundary, and the county would zone it only for rural agricultural homes. The staff report says both governments want to discourage development along the corridor once it is built through the fields, and that they would work toward conservation easements and a new interlocal agreement with more enforcement power. The memorandum states intent and does not by itself set zoning. The change has no fiscal impact. On Oct. 20 the council voted 5-0 to accept the county's language with two changes: 'east of the Provo River' replaces 'east of the Heber Valley Western Corridor,' and 'rural agriculture at the AG 20 density' replaces 'rural agricultural residences.'

Wasatch County amendment to the Heber City Expansion Area MOU (North Fields)
Approved · 5-0
City Manager Matt Brower said the county council already adopted an amendment to section 6 of the memorandum to protect the North Fields along the proposed Heber Valley Corridor. Council Member Johnston proposed, and a majority agreed, to change 'east of the corridor' to 'east of the Provo River' and to replace 'rural agricultural residences' with 'rural agriculture at the AG 20 density,' meaning 20-acre minimum parcels. A resident at public comment asked that the 20-acre limit be in the agreement. Wasatch County Council Members Erik Rowland and Luke Searle thanked the council and hoped for more joint protections.
