Additional Information on Agenda Items
Savannah Park Subdivision – Phase I Final Plat (Proposed Ordinance 2026-8)
A proposed ordinance would approve the final plat for Savannah Park Subdivision, Phase I, following recommendation from the Planning Commission. If adopted by City Council, the plat would be officially accepted and the Mayor and Recorder authorized to certify it on behalf of the City.
Proposed Zoning Update – Residential Estate (RE) District (Proposed Ordinance 2026-9)
A proposed ordinance would update the City’s zoning code to add a new Residential Estate (RE) district. This district is intended for single-family homes on larger lots (minimum 0.5 acres) to support a more spacious, estate-style residential character.
The update also reorganizes existing zoning districts from largest to smallest lot sizes and outlines standards for the RE district, including permitted uses, setbacks, building height limits, and parking requirements.

Proposed Annexation of Property into City Limits (Proposed Ordinance 2026-10)
A proposed ordinance would annex a tract of land into the City of Highfill at the request of the property owner. The annexation has been reviewed and verified by Benton County officials and includes a plan to extend city services—such as police and fire protection, street maintenance, and water service—within three years.
If approved, the property would be assigned to a city ward, with the annexation becoming final after the required process, allowing future development to move forward.
