Zoning

LAYTON -- Residents unhappy about a recent city council decision to approve a new zone for a unique development property on the city's west side want to take the issue to the voters.

OGDEN — Weber County will hold a public hearing to consider staff amendments at 10 a.m. April 24 at the Weber Center, 2380 Washington Blvd., in Ogden.

OGDEN — The city council is reviewing a proposal to annex land near the western border of Ogden and zone the area for industrial use, but nearby residents don’t want to lose the rural feel of their neighborhood.

The council voted to review a petition filed by David Phipps for the annexation of several large undeveloped parcels at approximately 3024 Midland Drive, which is in unincorporated Weber County.

PLEASANT VIEW — Council members recently approved the change of zoning from residential to mixed use east on property at 600 W. 2550 North following a public hearing. Councilman Michael Humphreys abstained from the vote.

NORTH OGDEN -- The city is getting in line with the feds on rules and regulations for group homes.

MORGAN -- Snowbasin development is knocking on Morgan County's door, so county officials want to make sure they're prepared with the right planning tools.

The Morgan County Council voted to repeal the master planned development reserve district ordinance and enact the resort special district zoning designation.

SYRACUSE -- The sale of 215 acres of open land, once belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to an area developer could bring 1,200 or more new jobs to the area, the mayor speculates.

The parcel, north of Syracuse High School, between 1000 West and 2000 West, is to be developed as light manufacturing, with the hope of bringing 1,200 jobs to the city during the next three years, Mayor Jamie Nagle said.
