The areas anticipated for future annexation contain a wide variety of land uses. There is much agricultural land, as well as residentially-developed property, and property developed and being developed for commercial and industrial uses. The areas known as Magna and Kearns are a part of the proposed future boundaries. Alliant Techsystems Inc., and Kennecott Utah Copper, Inc., separately own considerable portions of the proposed City boundaries in the southwest annexation area.

The City was incorporated in July of 1980 and has entertained several proposals for annexation since that time. Interest in annexation has been shown by many surrounding property owners. This policy declaration will help to define those areas which the City will consider in a favorable manner.
