The Western Weber Planning Commission has recently announced a change of schedule for an upcoming public hearing. Originally set for May 13, the hearing has been postponed to June 10 at 5:00 PM. It will take place in the County Commission Chambers, located on the 1st Floor of the Weber Center at 2380 Washington Blvd., Ogden, Utah. The agenda for the hearing will focus on an application by the Black Pine Group to establish a new zoning district, referred to as the traditional neighborhood zone, for the Bennet Farms development project on approximately 550 acres.
According to Weber County, this new zone aims to allow a mix of uses within the planned development, encompassing single-family residences, mixed residential, and neighborhood commercial spaces. The proposal indicates an exciting yet complex approach to rezoning, which may also include to directly couple the traditional neighborhood zone with the county's existing Form-Base Zone or to rezone to the form-based zone first.
For those interested in reviewing the details of the proposal, documentation is accessible online. Hyperlinks to the project can be found on the county's official planning website, and questions regarding the specifics of the hearing or the development plans can be directed to Charlie Ewert at [email protected] or by calling 801-399-8763. The push to modernize and diversify land use within Weber County seems to steer conversations about growth, community design, and local commerce.
