    620 South Annexation zoning, about 6695 W. 7300 North (6.87 acres)

    Recommended for approval · 5-0-1

    Recommendation on the zoning for 6.869 acres of Utah County land being annexed near 620 South as part of a land exchange between the city and UDOT tied to the Pony Express Connector/Vineyard Connector project. Planner Cody Opperman said the annexation agreement designates the land low- and very-low-density residential and recommended R1-20,000 zoning to accommodate a temporary fire station and future public park, with a possible later rezone to Public Facilities. The land currently has no city zoning.

    • County address: about 6695 W. 7300 North
    • Current: unincorporated Utah County → proposed R1-20,000
