Council consents to Roy City annexation near Hinckley Airport

Ogden City Council approved a resolution consenting to Roy City's request to annex a narrow sliver of unincorporated land near the Ogden‑Hinckley Airport on Feb. 3, 2026.

Planning staff explained that the parcel sits between Roy and West Haven and partly overlaps a former railroad right‑of‑way. State code restricts annexation within 5,000 feet of another municipality’s airport runway centerline unless the other municipality consents. Staff told council there are no anticipated impacts to airport operations for this specific site, that utilities and access would be handled through other agencies and that the recommendation to consent reflected those facts.

Councilmember Ritchie moved the resolution and Vice Chair Graff seconded; a roll‑call vote was recorded as unanimous and the council adopted the resolution. Staff wished petitioners success with their proposed townhome project.

Next steps: consent allows Roy City to proceed with its annexation and development process; Ogden staff will monitor any subsequent permit or land‑use applications near the airport.
