The Western Weber Planning Commission has announced a change in schedule for a public hearing initially set for May 13. The hearing has now been moved to June 10, at the County Commission Chambers, located on the 1st Floor of the Weber Center at 2380 Washington Blvd., Ogden, Utah, and it will begin promptly at 5:00 PM. The focus of the gathering is to invite public opinion on a significant local development proposition.
The Commission is set to discuss the creation of a new zone district named the traditional neighborhood zone, or TN zone. The proposal involves not only carving out this new zone but also rezoning the land of the would-be Bennet Farms development project, which spans an extensive 550 acres. This shift from the project's former identification as Gibson Farms promises to accommodate a medley of uses within its planned development, from single-family residences and multi-residential spaces to neighborhood-friendly commercial areas. The proposition is ambitious, to also potentially include a dual zoning scenario that would pair the new TN zone with Weber County's extant Form-Base Zone (FB), or that it could be set in stone by first rezoning to the FB zone. The applicant spearheading this venture is Black Pine Group.
As noted by Weber County, those who are interested can examine the finer details of the proposal online or at the Weber County Planning Division Office, located in Suite #240 of the Weber Center. To confirm participation options for the rescheduled hearing, the public is advised to call 801-399-8371. For specific queries about the development plan and associated rezoning, individuals can directly reach out to a designated County representative, Charlie Ewert, via email or phone.
