Commission weighs changes to driveway and RV parking rules, asks staff to draft amendments

Aug 15, 2025

South Ogden Planning Commission discussed allowing limited driveway overflow, adding gravel as an approved parking surface, separating RV rules from 'junk' enforcement and setting time limits for long-term storage; staff will draft proposed code language for the next meeting and possibly a public hearing.

The full story

Staff presented existing driveway and parking rules in chapter 10, noting rules that generally prohibit parking that extends past a home’s front façade and specifying standards for a second driveway (minimum widths, combined-area limits and a 70% front-yard cap). Staff referenced section 10-17-2(a)(6) regarding maximum yard area used for parking and surfacing standards that currently list asphalt, concrete, permeable pavers and manager-approved materials.
