Weber County Commission reviews Brookview Development zoning change for 40 acres

In a pivotal meeting held on June 3, 2025, Weber County officials gathered to discuss the Brookview Development, a proposed residential project that seeks to rezone 40 acres from agricultural to residential use. The site, located at approximately 4083 West and 1400 South, has garnered unanimous support from the Planning Commission, paving the way for further deliberation.

Felix Severino, representing the development team, presented the proposal, emphasizing the collaborative efforts with planning and engineering staff to create a comprehensive plan that aligns with the county's vision. The proposed zoning change to R-1-15 would allow for the construction of 116 residential lots, a significant increase in housing capacity for the area.

A key component of the proposal is the connectivity plan, designed to ensure that the new development integrates seamlessly with existing neighborhoods. This plan outlines roadways, pathways, and access points that will enhance mobility and accessibility for future residents. The development aims to adhere to the Western Weber General Plan, which designates the area for medium to large lot residential use.

The meeting also highlighted the importance of a detailed development agreement, which will specify design elements such as street widths and landscaping requirements. This agreement is intended to clarify expectations for both the county and the developer, ensuring that the project meets community standards and enhances the local environment.

As discussions progressed, the county commissioners expressed their desire for thorough documentation in the development agreement, aiming to safeguard the interests of current and future residents. The Brookview Development represents a significant step towards addressing housing needs in Weber County, with officials optimistic about its potential impact on the community.
