Eagle Mountain discusses 2,700-acre development

The owners of 2,700 acres near Eagle Mountain are discussing with the city council and the planning commission the possibility of annexing and developing the property.

 

Eagle Mountain Planning Director Steve Mumford said the property owners, Jared Westhoff and Todd McFarlane, are working with Nate Shipp of DAI on plans for the property, which includes a 500- to 600-acre business park, 9,800 residential units and space for commercial and mixed-use development. The Pole Canyon Master Development would be located west of Eagle Mountain, between Fairfield and Cedar Fort. The owners have already de-annexed portions of the property from Fairfield and Cedar Fort. If the annexation into Eagle Mountain was approved, it would add 2,700 acres to the 47 square miles currently portioned to the city.

 

Once the owners, the city council and the planning commission have come to a consensus on the development of the property, the project will be considered for annexation and master plan approval, Mumford said. Once approval has been granted, Mumford said the owners will be ready to move forward with the project, starting with the business park.
