The Park City Council voted to annex 1,200 acres in southeast Quinn’s Junction at their meeting on Thursday.
“We’re incredibly excited to be at this point,” Park City Manager Matt Dias said. “It’s a major, major milestone.”
The land includes the Richardson Flat property, which has long been envisioned to become part of Park City. It is development-restricted for future open space and recreation facilities.
It also includes the city-owned Clark Ranch property, with a majority of the acreage slated for a conservation easement as protected public recreational open space.
Park City’s ability to annex Richardson Flat was negotiated as part of the 1999 Flagstaff Development Agreement, which restricts future use (outside of the 30-acre parking lot) to golf, equestrianism, or other public recreational facilities.
Trails are planned for Clark Ranch in an effort to improve regional connectivity. The city council previously directed the housing department to look into possibly implementing affordable housing at the site. Any uses outside of open space would require planning commission and city council review.
