Advisory Measure To Seek Input On Aumsville’s Urban Growth Boundary.

Question: Are you in favor of Aumsville working toward expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary?

Summary: This measure seeks guidance from city voters on the necessity of expanding Aumsville’s Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The UGB is specifically designated land adjacent to the city limits that the city may grow into by annexation. The current UGB boundary is bordered on the east by Bishop Road, and on the north by Highway 22 and Beaver Creek. The southern border begins in the southeast corner of the new east side development and follows Mill Creek to the southwest boundary of Mill Creek Park. The UGB then continues north along the west border of Porter Boone Park to Olney Street.

The Aumsville City Council is considering spending General Fund money to implement a planning review to determine whether to expand the current UGB, for future growth beyond these boundaries. This may include updates to the city comprehensive plan and development ordinances. This measure is advisory only and not binding on the Aumsville City Council.

No arguments in favor of or opposed to this measure was filed.
