Planning staff (Barton) told the council that the planning commission recommended approval of the rezone but that the recommendation was not unanimous. Commissioners who opposed the change cited the city’s general plan and long‑range circulation plans that show future rerouting and increased traffic on 30 Second Street (the “couplet” change described by staff), and argued that the parcel should remain commercial. Staff said the parcel is currently adjacent to heavier commercial uses—including a tire store on one side—and is across the street from single‑family homes on the other.

Staff summary and timing: Barton said the planning commission weighed walkability, access to parks and schools, and the parcel’s relative desirability for commercial activity. Barton noted that the regional transportation plan (Wasatch Front Regional Council) includes a long‑range project to shift a one‑way couplet that could increase traffic on 30 Second Street in 10 to 20 years; that future traffic was one factor some commissioners cited for retaining commercial zoning. Barton also said the parcel had previously been manufacturing and was later rezoned to C‑2 (which can allow residential) under the general plan.

Next steps: Councilors asked for clarification and for staff to be prepared to explain the planning commission’s split recommendation when the item appears on a formal agenda. No formal vote occurred in the work session; staff and councilors discussed public comment and upcoming hearing logistics.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Ogden City Council Work Session and Council Meeting - February 11, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Councilors reviewed a proposed rezone for a parcel at 15030 Second Street and questioned whether allowing residential would conflict with adjacent commercial activity.","taxTitle","South Ogden City Council, South Ogden , Weber County, Utah","taxId",24541,"location","Utah","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6339382,"Ogden staff outline airport CRA changes and $27.5M incentive package proposed for Williams International expansion",1433,2425000,3858000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2261832-e594466a751af13747cd7cf12f726367&start=2425&end=3858","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2261832-e594466a751af13747cd7cf12f726367/thumbnail_2425000.jpg","/articles/6339382/Utah/Ogden-staff-outline-airport-CRA-changes-and-275M-incentive-package-proposed-for-Williams-International-expansion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6339382-dba3b0b534d6248b59a0bd4c8bdeb298/orig.mp4?Expires=1773710094&Signature=JXNJz8HnF9BRPk9LuVUW5WRxlIWsxvFSQi-wC7gigbtqZXLHEZjia8wzzFBlOoIV6BzEpQ5efe3qTlmwAWE~vtcQ4UD70myVEtTpPkHTzWboxAiW1nED-EkG~Cek7hI5pL3s4eV3FtHBS6o7a~XWza1kbb6SLFZI8EZq63R0YQZY4EWwa78S47Gudo6691D1ixYxgsQaCr2a~FLmT0P7qOlkhIaJOIJatML-duynQFk0N9rhGVA2ICIdVlEz5LjfVe74XmB~ktkprnYz1Ov-x9kn3E~AD-44EkzDtOlUawYMoG0fyUdgb7ZyUaTnt~0sebid3wtBcol6jL6Cy4Rwhg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ogden City staff on Feb. 11 described an amended interlocal agreement with Weber County for the Airport Community Reinvestment Area (CRA) and presented a proposed local incentive package to support a major expansion at Williams International.

Interlocal amendment: Staff told the board that after the airport CRA was adopted in 2023, Weber County raised concerns about the county’s interlocal agreement. The amended agreement approved by the county commission last month would reduce the county’s participation rate from 90% to 75% and restrict the county’s portion of tax increment to infrastructure projects inside the CRA (for example electrical, water, sewer, taxiways and apron). Staff said the CRA base year and base value would remain unchanged and the CRA would still expire in 2047.

Williams International expansion and proposed incentives: Staff described a proposed growth phase (referred to as “mod 7”) by Williams International, the aerospace manufacturer located at the Ogden Airport. According to the presentation Williams would add roughly 100,000 square feet to its campus, create more than 300 jobs and the company’s capital investment related to the expansion would be substantial—staff cited a projection of about $366,000,000 in capital investment by 2030 and said the project could drive more than $1 billion in real and personal property investment over the CRA term. Williams previously expanded in 2020 and added hundreds of jobs after reshoring capacity.

To help address Williams’ reported constraints—especially costly electrical infrastructure upgrades and water‑system limits—staff proposed a local package that would combine post‑performance TIF payments and infrastructure investment. Staff outlined a proposed $27,500,000 local package consisting of a $22,000,000 post‑performance TIF incentive payable to Williams based on actual new property tax revenues and a $5,500,000 city commitment to realign and install a new 24‑inch water line (the waterline investment would not be paid to Williams but would remove an impediment to future expansion). Staff also noted the state has approved Williams for the maximum Economic Development TIF (Ed TIF) available at the state level (staff said that equates to about 30% of new state tax revenues over 20 years). City staff reported a projection that Williams’ local project would generate roughly $31,000,000 in local TIF by the end of the CRA term.

Council discussion and staff responses: Councilors expressed questions about timing and local benefit, noting that most new tax revenue would not flow to the city until the CRA retires or until the project reached the incentive cap. A councilor asked whether new employees would be encouraged to live in Ogden; staff described workforce development commitments Williams has made (including training partnerships with OTEC) and said the city and RDA would continue to pursue housing and amenity projects that make living in Ogden more attractive. Staff also noted that the CRA designates 20% of tax increment for housing and that some pass‑through revenue is available to taxing entities before CRA retirement (county would collect its remaining 25% immediately; the school district begins receiving its share per the CRA terms).

Next steps: Staff said the airport CRA amendment and the Williams incentive package would proceed through the RDA and council agenda process; the county’s amended interlocal has already been approved by the county commission. Staff recommended continued coordination with Weber County, the school district and state partners and said any TIF payments to Williams would be paid only on a post‑performance basis—i.e., tied to the new property taxes Williams actually generates each year.","Ogden City staff on Feb. 11 described an amended interlocal agreement with Weber County for the Airport CRA and presented a proposed local incentive package to support a major expansion at Williams International.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6339387,"City staff propose major Adams CRA budget increase to support Malachite housing project",1462,849000,2311000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2261832-e594466a751af13747cd7cf12f726367&start=849&end=2311","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2261832-e594466a751af13747cd7cf12f726367/thumbnail_849000.jpg","/articles/6339387/Utah/City-staff-propose-major-Adams-CRA-budget-increase-to-support-Malachite-housing-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6339387-8dbd9d15e6fc5048a44b868f0a2c345b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773710094&Signature=SzBdzbmoRXJiXxdNrEejoV0CfNHRlKG1pmuR5lV2y65FmvPTfl8nvPQ2gX2t8HyEesv-aVQV1zicTp0VCxlaldAbiPfI7v5AmnodBUCGET4lbEje01UpM-z1GU-p50lcEU~94ehhRdQ6IApXM-x~h-l4QjumYOZJRnLnijEiyxNjdjnFYmG-q4D7zs7IM9WZWc2bBpiqYHgItDwMe0CPZq6Dm9BXBcL1m7RVKPuqlToo~xDmrHLRUgyWvKMjuiTnMhrM9oMN2bDHc3jx6d4lkfaB0gWyy5DumjLY4mDpW125t51mtTpdpN2lB9vn86ofV~C0qj4SJf0jEGe8Jb7Ptg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ogden Redevelopment Agency staff on Feb. 11 asked the city council and RDA board to approve a substantial amendment to the Adams CRA budget and described a proposed participation agreement to subsidize a market‑rate apartment project called Malachite.

The staff presentation said the Adams CRA project‑area investment pipeline has grown since the CRA was adopted in 2018, and that the estimated total investment in the area has risen from about $95 million to roughly $133 million. To support that pipeline the RDA proposed raising the CRA’s budget cap from $10,800,000 to $30,500,000 while keeping the project term unchanged through 2045. Staff also said they are seeking agreement among other taxing entities to continue full participation through 2028 and then reduce rates to 75% for Weber County and the Ogden School District and to 90% for the city after 2028.

Why it matters: the revised cap would make more tax increment financing (TIF) dollars available to support building renovation, new housing and centralized parking in the Adams area. Staff told the council those funds are intended for projects that “would not happen without the use of tax increment,” and that higher property valuations from new projects are expected to increase the absolute dollar amounts available despite lower long‑term participation percentages.

Malachite housing proposal: Staff described a separate but related incentive request from Alpha Development for a 101‑unit market‑rate apartment project now named Malachite (previously referred to as Adams Avenue Apartments). The project would site behind and adjacent to a renovated commercial building on 20th/Adams, include about 65 structured parking stalls, an outdoor plaza open to the public during daytime hours, and walkways connecting to 20th Street and Adams Avenue. Staff said the developer is estimating a roughly $35,000,000 project cost and that the RDA’s TIF support would cover items the developer says are needed to make the project financially feasible—structured parking, the plaza and higher‑quality exterior finishes. Staff presented a TIF projection of about $4,700,000 tied to the residential project and said the owner of the adjacent commercial building (identified in the presentation as Fisher) agreed to contribute TIF generated by that building to the residential developer.

Taxing‑entity consultations: Staff said they have begun outreach to the Ogden School District and Weber County and plan presentations to those bodies. Sarah Mies (economic development) told the board she had a preliminary discussion with the school district and that the district had asked whether it could reduce its participation earlier in order to receive some pass‑through revenues sooner. Staff also reported the county’s economic development finance committee was “pretty receptive” to the proposed terms and that the matter would next be discussed in a county commission work session.

Budget‑dependency and next steps: Staff said the Malachite participation agreement is contingent on the budget amendment: if the CRA budget amendment does not move forward, the city would not pursue the incentive agreement. Staff did not request a formal vote during the work session; they sought direction and said the amendment will be taken forward to taxing entities and to upcoming council/RDA agendas for formal action.

Context and background: The Adams CRA (adopted 2018) includes a mix of historic buildings and redevelopment parcels intended to connect downtown to the East Central neighborhood. Staff told the board the CRA has supported projects including the Monarch, Peoria Lofts, Stonehill Homes and the Dunkey Arts Plaza, and that some high‑priority buildings (for example the Forest Service building and the former First Security Bank tower) were added to the RDA’s list of priorities after 2018.

Questions from councilors focused on how the higher budget cap would be paid for, whether projected property valuations support the change, what the school district and county would receive during the CRA term, and how consolidated parking and structured parking could be encouraged. Staff said those details were reflected in their updated budget analysis and in the proposed terms they are sharing with taxing jurisdictions.","Ogden Redevelopment Agency staff on Feb. 11 asked the city council and RDA board to approve a substantial amendment to the Adams CRA budget and described a proposed participation agreement to subsidize a market‑rate apartment project called Malachite.","actionData","errors"]
