1 Ogden City Council Work Session: September 20, 2017 ANNUAL LAND USE TRAINING SESSION WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION Purpose of Work Session: To receive land use training in a joint work session with the Planning Commission Background As part of the City’s commitment to continued training for planning and land use issues and as required by the City’s contract with Utah Risk Management Mutual Association (URMMA), the City Council and the Planning Commission are holding a joint work session to receive training on a topic related to land use regulations in the City. The topic has been chosen by the City’s Legal Counsel, Planning Department and Council Staff. The topic was chosen based on what City staff felt was a current and relevant issue from which the Council and Commission could benefit. This year’s training will focus on the issue of annexations. Recent state code changes have allowed counties and cities to work together to initiate annexation processes for certain parcels in unincorporated parts of a county to make more contiguous municipal boundaries. City Staff will provide an overview of state law changes and how these changes affect the annexation process. As a related topic, Staff will be providing background on potential changes to service boundaries for water providers in the areas that are potentially subject to annexation.
