The motion passed 5–2.

Planning staff member Bill presented the draft ordinance language and the companion street‑tree list (to be adopted by county commission resolution). Bill said the change is intended to give developers predictability: instead of leaving tree selection and quantity to ad hoc planning commission direction, the county would adopt a standard list and allow staff to approve irrigation approaches. The draft requires developers to plant and maintain parkway trees until adjacent lots are sold; maintenance responsibility would transfer with property ownership.

Commission discussion included a request that any permit required to remove or replace trees on county property be processed without a fee. Commissioners also clarified that the amendment covers landscaping in the parkway and associated approval authority; it is not intended to remove other planning commission responsibilities for subdivision review.

When the commission voted, Commissioner Klontz and Commissioner Neville voted \"nay.\" Commissioners Wickerton, Ferrero, Andreotti, McCormack and the chair voted \"aye,\" carrying the recommendation 5–2. The planning commission forwarded the amendment package to the county commission for final action and asked the county commission to adopt the street‑tree list by resolution and to adopt a no‑fee policy for tree‑removal permits on county property.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Western Weber Planning Commission January 9, 2024","oneSentenceSummary","The planning commission recommended approval of a zoning text amendment to create predictable street‑tree standards and maintenance rules for county right‑of‑ways, forwarding the proposal to the county commission by a 5–2 vote and asking that tree‑removal permits be fee‑exempt.","taxTitle","Weber County, Utah","taxId",2932,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6532276,"Navy Meadows rezoning (ZMA2023‑08) tabled; planning commission asks for general‑plan map amendment notice",6143,678000,6821000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3410695-279590fbac60634381586c776701cfcd&start=678&end=6821","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3410695-279590fbac60634381586c776701cfcd/thumbnail_678000.jpg","/articles/6532276/Weber-County/Utah/Navy-Meadows-rezoning-ZMA202308-tabled-planning-commission-asks-for-generalplan-map-amendment-notice","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6532276-e6d48d03ae73736054b6e1a4f12044d4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770815400&Signature=klfQSRi52EEueLdyNU5uve3uOOnmDC3VK60pwgavFActQRAF~o4FzBAUXmAZsYLg-TecngtFxn5onVY3rltYpQxo7yfF8iOdH7MCqYT8lZYW0B7kNzDM9YHsleix4dQJ3ptzf3C2~LJFpzu3RvD4-eYj--7GPxgBcI39GqwQoaPPyXSEX5cQIq0rZewTWrmF5-jQHFrV5UiWqFfyeX60mvxJAVGpmmuU~FjlVoaLcnXlDfdhU1Dwv8MhO~In3SaDuw9ylLdLqyQKiAJhdHWvT7oxCSWVZy0zaU9A1a42BRaF2~u2v~NMGQni58TGKJ9SwPJ7har32fJEdieZ6EWIyw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Western Weber Planning Commission opened a public hearing Jan. 9 on ZMA2023‑08, a request to rezone approximately 72.75 acres at about 4000 West and 3300 South for the Navy Meadows development (a mix of R‑115 single family and an R‑3 townhome component). After public comment and staff discussion, commissioners voted to table the item to the February planning commission meeting and asked staff to prepare and provide notice for a potential general‑plan map amendment if the applicant wishes to retain the R‑3 component.

Planner Felix reviewed the concept site plan and staff observations about connectivity, pathways, proposed parkland near Hooper Slough and the presence of emergent wetlands according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service mapping. Staff recommended that R‑3 (higher density) zoning in this location would require clear justification tied to the general plan; staff suggested the cleanest approach would be to process a map amendment for the future land‑use map in tandem with the rezoning so that the comprehensive plan and zoning align.

During public comment, several nearby residents and landowners voiced concerns about adding townhomes (R‑3) in an area they described as already having a high concentration of multi‑family units, about drainage and Hooper Slough flood concerns, and about traffic impacts on 3300 South. West Haven City council submitted an email asking that the developer meet with the city and pointing out the R‑3 designation is not on the current future land‑use map.

Applicant Doug Hamblin told the commission the team is willing to cooperate with staff and take additional steps; he indicated support for the staff’s suggested connectivity and pathway treatments and said the team would work with parks staff on parking and trail details. Commissioners agreed the proper process for an R‑3 change is to either adopt a general‑plan map amendment or to provide stronger findings if they were to support the rezoning without a map amendment.

A motion to table the matter carried unanimously; the planning commission directed staff to prepare notice and materials for a potential general‑plan map amendment and to schedule the item for the next appropriate meeting (February).","The commission opened a public hearing on Navy Meadows, a proposed rezoning for about 72.75 acres at 4000 West/3300 South, and voted to table the application to the February meeting to allow staff and the applicant to pursue a general‑plan map amendment and to provide additional notice to West Haven City.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_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":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6532279,"Planning commission backs rezoning to R‑115 with conditions, asks developer to escrow funds and protect river buffer",3781,481000,4262000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3410695-279590fbac60634381586c776701cfcd&start=481&end=4262","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3410695-279590fbac60634381586c776701cfcd/thumbnail_481000.jpg","/articles/6532279/Weber-County/Utah/Planning-commission-backs-rezoning-to-R115-with-conditions-asks-developer-to-escrow-funds-and-protect-river-buffer","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6532279-2996c680a3ab05decd8c3bef7fe0d5f7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770815400&Signature=fTMlUdkJIwpneyt~CVhs30SdPfYiL1fTEjkbIWNftfbuyxSqRb-R5uaHIkTiYBKveYV4V0D677L97mxYMmz2JhpvqxEl3pJqZiH-6oNz~B-mflE~jP~OHzxF-d~1dw1zRGvNIee75QF3rzU1iUBKJKyNSv6qQa9mAZ6BbyLMI1nn9vCL7RVigaMcFm3oTJkmybnSybLJIPxF~tHU4kWxrXaFdfqq4n-Vi-W5dCukYR~bJsBxCaA6Qqtrcsuj5iH-poyw541zozP0KqjijkRKWDaUkeMxLExK9zLdRO2nAOEczM9U0GoWLpc5MnK7OEjtEo6nFX8yH~BCiDkON1-0rg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Western Weber Planning Commission on Jan. 9 voted unanimously to forward a positive recommendation to the county commission to rezone roughly 47.56 acres at about 500 North and 3600 West from A‑2 to R‑115, subject to a development agreement and several conditions intended to protect riverfront open space, manage utilities and ensure public safety.

Acting Planning Director Charlie reviewed the staff report and a developer concept plan. He told commissioners the applicant proposes medium large‑lot residential development under R‑115 standards, has submitted civil plans now in second review, and is voluntarily offering a 300‑foot buffer along the Weaver River to be donated to the park district — roughly 35 acres of open space — that staff expects to be improved with trails, benches, parking, restrooms and water refill stations.

A central issue at the hearing was emergency access. County code limits the number of homes that may be served by a dead‑end road; developers may exceed basic thresholds only if they provide approved emergency egress. The applicant proposed to finance and escrow a temporary emergency egress (a 20‑foot improved travel surface sufficient for fire apparatus) while working to secure rights through neighboring parcels for a long‑term connection. Staff recommended limiting initial construction to no more than 14 new homes until an emergency egress is installed; the recommended development agreement included triggers and timing for escalation of permitted homes if the egress is documented and built.

Staff also noted the need for sewer infrastructure and a lift station shown in the county sewer master plan; the applicant indicated willingness to oversize sewer lines and install a lift station if required. Charlie said floodplain mapping and wetlands inventory will be reviewed during subdivision and development agreement drafting; staff recommended that no development occur within identified floodplain areas and that the donated river buffer remain as parkland.

After public comment from nearby landowners raising concerns about flooding, road impacts and private property effects, the planning commission moved to forward a positive recommendation to the county commission with staff’s conditions plus an added clause that utilities be built to future build‑out sizes; a pioneering agreement (to cover upsizing costs only) may be included to allow the developer to be reimbursed for upsizing, but not to shift initial installation costs for utilities.

Commissioners McCormack, Andreotti, Romero, Wickerton, Neville, Collins and the chair voted in favor; the motion passed unanimously. The county commission will receive the planning commission’s recommendation and consider the rezone and development agreement in a later public hearing.","The planning commission voted unanimously to recommend rezoning about 47.56 acres near the Weaver River from A‑2 to R‑115, contingent on a development agreement that includes sewer annexation, flood‑plain protections, a donated 300‑foot river buffer for parkland, and escrowing funds for a proposed emergency egress.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6532281,"Planning commission forwards unanimous recommendation for Single Tree Acres subdivision final approval",298,182000,480000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3410695-279590fbac60634381586c776701cfcd&start=182&end=480","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3410695-279590fbac60634381586c776701cfcd/thumbnail_182000.jpg","/articles/6532281/Weber-County/Utah/Planning-commission-forwards-unanimous-recommendation-for-Single-Tree-Acres-subdivision-final-approval","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6532281-718235ed2b4ae27234d327041c48a7eb/orig.mp4?Expires=1770815400&Signature=SPV7Zqk3s0lCPMuKVyVXW43H6yHY5Ibm-So46YpHz~Lth~ZqTWH9tC44GAb5~lcZIagLYO4oVUs0cBuoEpU68xz3T2krsLNQVTUbaMrLNHiOzMic1mRGcWI2JxHncyRQCuxIXqrAXsGZECuDQZDSCEg3Bks8gAOiTZpoT1Dsk0SFrKGc2PQXy~vD8Dj-BPUW8Q-oi9zVLk7Ahxb2kWbunPbkX6gl6EyLgeQMzpsnKZdzz5KJ-PEHiW24E0W5DZitlt80jIAdvPRCvKa35gSytdhaxV7s7VvmbDU~4SZ5sf26CfESq4P5p6z1gPcO3eb4S5g0SBV21r9kZHiroJsF5Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Western Weber Planning Commission unanimously voted Jan. 9 to forward a positive recommendation to the county commission for final approval of the Single Tree Acres subdivision, a proposed 25-lot residential development at 2200 South 4520 West.

Staff Planner Felix told commissioners the subdivision was previously rezoned to the R-115 zone and that civil plans are on a second round of county engineering review. Charlie, the acting director, and staff recommended final approval subject to a development agreement and four conditions in the staff report.

The staff recommendation requires that the subdivision conform to the development agreement, that funds to cover the cost of all remaining subdivision improvements be held in escrow with the county engineering department at the time of recording, that annexation into the Central Weber Sewer Improvement District be completed before the subdivision plan is recorded, and that civil plans and the subdivision plan receive final approval before the county commission hearing.

Commissioners asked no substantive policy questions during the presentation. After a motion to forward staff recommendations, Commissioners Collins, Neville, Whitaker, Feveiro, Andriati, McCormack and the chair voted \"aye,\" and the motion passed unanimously.

The planning commission’s recommendation will now go to the Weber County Commission, which has final authority on final subdivision approval and the development agreement.","Western Weber Planning Commission voted unanimously to forward a positive recommendation to the county commission for final approval of the 25-lot Single Tree Acres subdivision, with four conditions tied to a development agreement and engineering review.","actionData","errors"]
