Upcoming public hearings are set to shape the future landscape of Western Weber County, with residential developments at the heart of the agenda. On March 11, at 5:00 PM, residents will have the opportunity to voice their opinions on a trio of zoning map amendment applications during a session held at the County Commission Chambers in Ogden, Utah. These hearings will discuss significant changes that could transform commercial areas into residential spaces, revise large stretches of land for a new master planned community, and increase the density of housing on previous agricultural grounds.
According to Weber County, the initial application concerns a 23-acre plot at the corner of 4700 West and 1150 South, which may morph from a Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) zone into an area designated for Single-Family Detached and Attached homes (R3-A). Full details of this proposal can be reviewed online or in person at the Weber County Planning Division Office.
Another detailed plan, the Westbridge Meadows development, proposes the rezoning of around 1400 acres, forming a varied tapestry of residential zones coupled with commercial and mixed-use areas. The development aims to introduce a mix of Single-Family (R1), Two-Family (R2), and Multi-Family (R3) dwelling zones, overlaid by a Master Planned Development Overlay Zone (MPDOZ) and intertwined with a Form-Based Zone (FB) for mixed uses and a neighborhood commercial zone (C-1).
The third application seeks to transform about 31.4 acres of land at 601 S. 3600 W. from its current A-1 agricultural classification, supporting the sparser allowance of one dwelling per acre to a more densely packed single-family residential zone (R1-15), allowing approximately 2.9 dwelling units per acre. Each amendment application and associated documents are open for public review, and officials encourage interested parties to examine the proposals via the links provided or at the Planning Division's office for a deeper understanding of the changes proposed.
