Diane Chaston said the store’s public reputation and visible product display have alarmed tenants; she told council the shop’s own website emphasizes adult toys and that, in practice, the store has taken business space formerly occupied by a Family Dollar and is attracting customers who leave litter and create disturbances. Ty Chasen, a co‑owner, described heating‑and‑lighting and snow‑plowing practices that he says push debris and snow onto their private drive, block tenant access early in the morning, and create bright, intrusive lighting in second‑floor bedrooms.

Chaston asked the city to change the municipal code definition of a sexually‑oriented business (SOB) so that businesses whose primary sales are adult paraphernalia would be subject to SOB restrictions that would keep them out of mixed‑use or residential‑proximate C‑2 zones. Chasen requested immediate code enforcement help with lighting, plowing and litter.

Mayor (name given in the meeting as the mayor’s office) said he has asked the chief administrative officer to direct code‑enforcement staff to examine the site and explore options now under the city’s ordinances. He also said administration staff already are drafting updates to land‑use definitions as part of the general plan and development‑code overhaul and that those updates will include a review of the SOB definition. The mayor asked staff to follow up with the complainants and to bring potential enforcement steps forward.

Council members voiced sympathy and asked staff to investigate. Several council members said their own reaction to the photographs was concern and that they supported administration exploring both immediate enforcement remedies and longer‑term ordinance changes.

Why it matters: residents and property owners said the business’s proximity to housing and schools is producing negative secondary effects—litter, intrusive lighting and snow‑plow impacts—that they say reduce habitability and tenant retention. The administration said it will use existing enforcement options where available and will propose code edits as part of the ongoing general plan and code rewrite.

What’s next: the mayor’s office will forward complainants’ materials to code enforcement, staff will evaluate whether onsite violations (lighting, snow removal, signage, trash) exist under current rules, and planning staff will include a review and possible revision of the sexually‑oriented business definition in the broader land‑use updates. The complainants also were advised to provide photos and contact details directly to code enforcement for investigation.

Quotes: “If Adam and Eve were considered an SOB, it would not be allowed in the C‑2 zone or near other residential uses,” Diane Chaston told council. Mayor said, “I have already directed our code enforcement staff to look at that…we will use the tools that we have to do everything that we can.”

Clarifying details: complainants said the day care near the property moved out after the new tenant arrived; they said parking and private‑drive traffic patterns have changed; they reported that the business application listed the use as “lingerie clothing retail” though complainants say sales appear focused on adult toys; complainants provided photos to the council and to staff during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Ogden City Council Meeting - April 1, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Two property owners testified that an adult retailer that opened near their townhome complex is creating litter, intrusive lighting and other quality‑of‑life problems; Mayor said staff will review enforcement options and recommended zoning/code changes as part of ongoing land‑use updates.","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},6094030,"Ogden council names Marshall White Community Center field house for Officer Nathan James Lyday after public input",1813,2123000,3936000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2845099-a66f6b6844cc2a5e78c3720b73e4652b&start=2123&end=3936","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2845099-a66f6b6844cc2a5e78c3720b73e4652b/thumbnail_2123000.jpg","/articles/6094030/Utah/Ogden-council-names-Marshall-White-Community-Center-field-house-for-Officer-Nathan-James-Lyday-after-public-input","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6094030-f955a9d4e23ecf12ded2fe334a248422/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135943&Signature=Jw2u6r7RRedqmpW9gAdrXCL7T0q2oSqeGkWLF28UKk6XsOiCC-Q4AOb2HKpYzP97mrSw7-8dELEEeUv4aNO3P71mM2cRSP~CTJgfV6t4oxB1d18UwzIzkBDcgDgEuXjukgN2MnjfN0T-Uhr9kCthkXkvVaAtA~~H~irZzoq4lkvxikzyyWOjMHwDpwvjgBggJd1J0~wjdz5HrodOZb3siMC-ThR6TBmwREWjYUnsSDFzTnohA6syMBZRncwNQgPShZMfma7suEPHoXouCdEzO~YS81Upxy9pWsRdIjaXo4q53dPDHf8LorK5lLjPyF8VjXGINA7y32XSYqyiIp0FmQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ogden City Council voted April 1 to name the field house at the Marshall White Community Center after Officer Nathan James Lyday, following public testimony from Lyday family members and discussion about community outreach.

Council Member Meyers moved to name the Marshall White Community Center field house after Nathan James Lyday; Vice Chair Hyer seconded and the item passed by unanimous roll call. Chair White called for the vote and each council member answered aye.

The proposal was introduced by Ron White (speaking on behalf of the White family), who told the council that naming the field house after Officer Lyday would honor “a unique group of people that sacrifice their life in the line of duty.” Family members spoke in favor: Andrew Leidy, identified himself as Nathan Lyday’s father, and Bruin (a family member) performed the Pledge of Allegiance earlier in the meeting; Jenny Taylor, speaking from Washington, D.C., also offered support, calling the pairing of Marshall White’s legacy and Lyday’s memory “a beautiful proposal.”

During public comment, He Sato (logged‑in resident) said he was “not against it” but asked for broader community discussion, saying he believed the advisory committee and other stakeholders should be consulted. Several council members agreed that additional advisory‑committee involvement would be appropriate. Council Member Chburka and others praised the White family’s outreach and the proposal’s intent, and Council Member Myers said he supported the naming while also supporting more outreach.

Council members debated whether to delay action until the Marshall White Advisory Committee met. Vice Chair Hyer initially moved to extend the item until the advisory committee met, then withdrew that motion; later Council Member Meyers made the naming motion that passed. Mayor and staff said they would convene the advisory committee earlier than its regular schedule to seek stakeholder input and to help plan a meaningful dedication event.

Why it matters: the Marshall White Community Center is a long‑standing neighborhood facility; naming internal spaces after local figures is symbolic and can shape programming and outreach. Council members emphasized that the center will remain named for Marshall White while the field house dedication will honor Lyday within that context.

What’s next: Parks and Recreation staff will work with the family and the Marshall White Advisory Committee on plaque wording, signage and a public dedication event; the council asked staff to report back with advisory‑committee input before a formal celebration.

Quotes: “He belonged to a unique group of people that sacrifice their life in the line of duty, and we should put those heroes up on a pedestal,” Ron White said. Jenny Taylor, speaking from Washington, D.C., said the proposal “is a beautiful proposal for this new facility to remain named after Marshall White…while also looking to a young new generation.”

Clarifying details: the field house is an indoor turf/practice area used for baseball, softball, soccer and futsal; the center will retain the Marshall White name while dedicating the field house to Officer Lyday; the Marshall White Advisory Committee meets quarterly and staff committed to convene it sooner to collect input and assist with the dedication event.

No formal ordinance or permanent change to the center’s overall name was proposed; the vote applied specifically to the field house inside the Marshall White Community Center.","Following public comment and discussion about community outreach, Ogden City Council voted unanimously to name the field house inside the Marshall White Community Center after Officer Nathan James Lyday; council members said they will ask the Marshall White advisory committee to help plan a formal dedication.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6094035,"Ogden approves New Markets Tax Credit financing; Municipal Building Authority to participate",0,5337000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2845099-a66f6b6844cc2a5e78c3720b73e4652b&start=5337&end=5337","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2845099-a66f6b6844cc2a5e78c3720b73e4652b/thumbnail_5337000.jpg","/articles/6094035/Utah/Ogden-approves-New-Markets-Tax-Credit-financing-Municipal-Building-Authority-to-participate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6094035-042cccfd3ae2ea43f34165aa428a2937/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135943&Signature=hkNMG8YBxxVsBnbtAgPbuB7Q0A0grtim7h4o7tVfQT3f8l0Pp2qV646n7zuP3yiLI05bAMkU~FaEOQWd7poilq9-cuwslYaa8E-UIVKcU~oqgz1Cxbti-cimOE0h3kD0LFln1CT7TOVX0YpE-yyKnWhHAJgn0yrGr1RJx~tGP4s6Qm7VEgG5J2kQOERN0cEj9uKmOk~NaSh81AwcfUcqJpR05mhjEQfiSs-734cUJ5YSq3svkp-U7GkYHMVR6jpbo3Ssy8q91j1~cUINTk-MJ9wYALZSu8QuRA7wneK4P7srZSdPqpzxlPjYg09wcdjCLkZdRbXzKnmAxaX6GXomiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ogden City Council voted unanimously April 1 to authorize the city’s participation in a New Markets Tax Credit financing package for the Marshall White Community Center, a financing structure city staff say unlocks more than $2 million in net project funds.

The vote authorizes the city to proceed with a structure that uses a community development entity allocation, a private investor and a special‑purpose nonprofit to channel tax credit equity into the project. Council Member Jared Ritchie moved to adopt proposed Resolution 2025‑6; Vice Chair Hyer seconded and the roll call was unanimous.

At a public presentation earlier in the meeting, Cody Rogers, an attorney the city retained for the transaction, described how the program works and how the Marshall White Center financing will be structured. Rogers said Community Development Finance Alliance (CDFA) has allocated $10,000,000 of NMTC authority to the project. That allocation yields $3,900,000 in federal tax credits, which U.S. Bank will claim over a seven‑year compliance period. U.S. Bank agreed to invest at $0.80 per credit, producing about $3,120,000 in equity to the project; after fees and closing costs, Rogers estimated the net benefit to the project at “over $2,000,000 that the project is receiving essentially for free.”

Rogers and city staff described the structure in detail: the city will long‑term lease the property to a specially formed nonprofit special‑purpose entity (SPE), which will receive NMTC‑related loans. The SPE will reimburse the city for prior project expenditures; the Municipal Building Authority (MBA) will serve as the leveraged lender and will receive loan payments during the seven‑year compliance period. Rogers estimated the MBA will receive roughly $97,000 per year in loan interest and noted the city’s annual participation costs are small—about $2,500—while the lease payment from the city to the SPE is approximately $100,000 per year during compliance.

In council discussion, Council Member Jared Blair asked for a short list of intended uses for the newly available funds; Ed (staff) said the money will pay for landscaping, exterior lighting, sidewalk improvements, interior equipment, fencing and new pickleball courts. Rogers said closing costs and fees are estimated at about $300,000 plus modest miscellaneous expenses.

After the council vote, the Municipal Building Authority (MBA) held a separate consent and resolution process to accept the leveraged‑lender role and amend its budget. MBA trustees voted to adopt proposed Resolution 2025‑2 and Resolution 2025‑1 and approved a budget amendment to record the flow of funds related to the transaction. Justin Sorensen, MBA staff on the call, confirmed the accounting entries and noted the budget amendment figures in the staff presentation; he said the working number sent earlier was $6,880,000 though the draft amendment text in the packet listed $6,900,000 (staff flagged the discrepancy during the meeting for clarification).

Why it matters: the NMTC structure is intended to attract private capital into low‑income communities by giving an investor federal tax credits in exchange for equity. City staff said the arrangement lets Ogden add project elements that had been cut for budget reasons without transferring ownership of the center: “the city continues to own it,” Rogers said, while the SPE and MBA handle the compliance and funding flow.

Council and MBA votes at a glance: Council adopted Resolution 2025‑6 (motion: Council Member Ritchie; second: Vice Chair Hyer) by roll call (Blair: aye; Chburka: aye; Graff: aye; Myers/Meyers: aye; Ritchie: aye; Hyer: aye; Chair White: aye). The MBA adopted proposed Resolutions 2025‑2 and 2025‑1 by roll call (Trustees Graff, Ritchie, Blair, Cheburka/Chburka, Vice Chair Hyer and Chair White all voted aye).

City staff said they will return with closing documents and additional implementation steps required by the NMTC compliance schedule. Rogers and MBA staff answered technical questions at the meeting but no substantive changes to the approved structure were made.

Clarifying details: CDFA (Community Development Finance Alliance) provided a $10,000,000 allocation of NMTC authority; that allocation converts to $3,900,000 in tax credits; U.S. Bank committed $3,120,000 in equity at $0.80 per credit; estimated closing costs $300,000; estimated net grant‑like benefit to the project > $2,000,000; expected annual city lease payment to the SPE ~ $100,000; MBA estimated to receive ~ $97,000 annual interest during compliance; municipal participation costs roughly $2,500 per year.

What’s next: staff will finalize loan and closing documents, reconcile the budget amendment numbers for the MBA, and return with the final closing schedule and any additional council or trustee actions required under the NMTC compliance regime.","Ogden City Council approved a resolution to participate in a New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) financing package that will provide roughly $2 million in net, non‑repayable funds for the Marshall White Community Center project; the Municipal Building Authority adopted companion resolutions and a budget amendment to receive and manage the funds.","actionData","errors"]
