History
In 2005, Mustang Development Company and Wasatch County entered into a development agreement to develop Hideout Canyon. In 2007, Mustang successfully lobbied the Utah State Legislature to pass H.B. 466. This bill, backed by the Utah League of Cities and Towns and passed unanimously by the legislature, amended the state law on petitions to incorporate a town. The new provisions allowed a petition for a new town with 100–999 residents to be filed with just the signatures of the owners of a majority of the land area, even a single majority landowner. There was no requirement to ask the residents' consent. If the petition met the conditions of state law and its signers owned the majority of the land by value, the new law required the county government to grant the petition and appoint a mayor and town council from a list of individuals approved by the petitioners. In July 2007, Ruby's Inn, in Garfield County, became the first to take advantage of the new law, incorporating as Bryce Canyon City. A petition to incorporate Hideout was filed in November 2007 by Richard Sprung, a real estate agent for Hideout Canyon. By then two other such petitions were pending in Wasatch County: Aspen (ultimately unsuccessful) and Independence.
