The council unanimously approved Resolution 2025‑25 renewing the exclusive nonconsent towing services agreement with Stauffer Stouffer's Stauffer Towing (15‑year partner). Police and public‑safety presenters emphasized rapid response and cooperation with fire and emergency services. Chief Warren and a representative from the towing company described joint training and rapid on‑scene service; the council voted to renew the contract unanimously.

Councilors also approved Resolution 2025‑24 adding Personnel Policy 9‑20 (Americans with Disabilities Act accommodations) to the personnel policy handbook. Staff said the policy formalizes a consistent process for requesting and reviewing reasonable accommodations to comply with federal and state law; Councilor Hansen had requested and staff incorporated technical amendments discussed at the work session. The resolution passed unanimously.

The council opened and closed a public hearing on a nonreciprocal interfund transfer related to water‑fund resources and then adopted Resolution 2025‑21 approving the transfer. Staff described the item as an accounting transfer to reflect water utilization by the general fund; there were no public comments and the resolution passed unanimously.

Council adopted the certified property‑tax rate resolution (2025‑22) after staff noted the county had revised the certified rate multiple times while state and county audits were ongoing. The council approved the rate as provided by the county’s most recent update and instructed staff to reconcile revenues to whichever certified rate the county ultimately finalizes. The measure passed unanimously.

Finally, the council adopted Resolution 2025‑23, the fiscal year 2026 budget for Riverdale City (07/01/2025–06/30/2026), including salary schedules and property‑tax revenue estimates as reported by the county; the budget passed unanimously with the caveat that certified‑rate revenue figures will be adjusted to match the county’s final certified rate.

Consent items included approval of the June 3, 2025 work session and council meeting minutes.

Several councilors thanked staff for work on the budget and personnel matters.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Riverdale City Utah City Council Meeting June 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Riverdale City Council approved multiple resolutions including a towing contract renewal, an ADA personnel policy, an interfund transfer related to water, adoption of the county’s certified tax rate (subject to final county figures) and the fiscal year 2026 budget.","taxTitle","Riverdale City Council, Riverdale , Weber County, Utah","taxId",24531,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6658374,"Riverdale Council narrows agricultural zoning, removes by-right large residential clusters",1683,2665000,4348000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5021854-92ec11340e77a112b071d3e8af37dbed&start=2665&end=4348","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5021854-92ec11340e77a112b071d3e8af37dbed/thumbnail_2665000.jpg","/articles/6658374/Utah/Riverdale-Council-narrows-agricultural-zoning-removes-by-right-large-residential-clusters","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6658374-08b7839ef2559f0cb10820f8ecd90416/orig.mp4?Expires=1775966575&Signature=iJpnViZCOf-rDcqIAqkOrXrISxaB0kjRhnArpUYeSx5AAawblvNf5vPsWf5~3gSCVn4crpl3DbeSSbN5TZ4wmWxeAnB~PHoie~DwAAyYoQOYXjTpSl~HAtpe42m61a8PWnrk9ZZbF2Gq0-936Ppbohjt8yiy6wwto5uy3dgka-rTpQWfE5eBv-A-DR2SeXsmK~GCqiUtwxzqfdqQsWcxVVyfoT3X4dWpUKM5e8x3kTvJB56Ld0dh3yR~LTOEgXv-bfTbuSTh9Xnd~c6uIyLIER83dcqf5mc3MGyNQs4ZaWlg-xSE47iqerI7SUUrPySeeo3wH-xkXKiD02QRWXoEiw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Riverdale City Council voted 4–1 to approve Ordinance 995, amending Title 10, Chapter 8 of the Riverdale City Code to change the permitted uses in the A‑1 and A‑2 agricultural zones and to remove cluster subdivisions as a by‑right use in those zones.

The ordinance, presented by Community Development staff, revises the code language to emphasize traditional agricultural activities in the A‑1 and A‑2 zones and to remove provisions that had allowed large residential cluster subdivisions as a by‑right use in agricultural areas. Councilors approved one amendment during the motion to remove the word “noncommercial” from the line addressing corrals and stables in A‑1, preserving the ability for noncommercial animal keeping on smaller parcels.

Supporters of the ordinance said the change clarifies the city’s land‑use framework and aligns the zoning code with the city’s future land‑use map. Community Development staff explained that the current cluster‑subdivision language had functioned as a “catchall” and sometimes allowed residential development to be shoehorned into agricultural zones without full application of residential standards.

Resident James Pritchard Purine testified during public comment in opposition to the proposed amendment. Purine said his property, annexed from Ogden, had been treated historically as potential development land and that the change “caught me by surprise,” adding that he preferred smaller residential lots and had been working with the city on a potential rezone. Purine also said he opposed the ordinance “because of the wording of cluster subdivision” and described discussions he had had with city staff about rezoning and subdivision options.

City staff responded that the text amendment does not prevent a landowner from seeking a rezone. Community Development staff said a rezone remains a separate, available process that may require a general‑plan amendment if the property’s current future‑land‑use designation differs from the requested zoning. Staff noted that cluster subdivisions as currently written require a minimum of 25 dwelling units and that A‑1 minimum lot size rules mean an applicant would need substantially large acreage (the code discussion cited about 15 acres as typical to meet size thresholds and about 27,000 square feet as the practical minimum lot size under the two‑thirds rule in A‑1).

Several councilors asked for clarity about how the change would affect existing nonconforming uses. Staff advised that existing lawful uses at the time of the change (for example, a cemetery or existing agricultural uses) would become legal nonconforming uses and could remain until discontinued; converting those properties to a new use would require subsequent approvals as applicable.

Council deliberations focused on the balance between protecting agricultural character, preventing incompatible uses, and preserving reasonable rights for existing owners. Councilor Stevens raised questions about examples of cluster developments elsewhere and about whether the change would unfairly limit owners. Councilor Haas and others voiced concern about restricting small‑scale stables on smaller parcels; the council’s adopted amendment removed the word “noncommercial” from the A‑1 corral/stable line so that small parcel animal keeping would remain allowed under the A‑1 standard.

The motion to adopt Ordinance 995 as amended passed 4–1. Councilor Stevens cast the lone no vote.

Looking ahead, staff said the city will incorporate these code changes into a forthcoming comprehensive development code update and that property owners who want residential subdivisions must pursue rezonings and, where required, general‑plan amendments.

Clarifying details recorded at the meeting included that a cluster subdivision in the A‑1 zone requires a minimum of 25 units, the A‑1 minimum lot size is 40,000 square feet and cluster subdivisions use a two‑thirds minimum‑lot‑size rule resulting in roughly 27,000 square feet minimum lots, and that a practical acreage threshold cited in discussion was about 15 acres for such a subdivision to be feasible.","The Riverdale City Council approved Ordinance 995 to amend Title 10, Chapter 8 of the city code, limiting certain residential and commercial uses in A‑1 and A‑2 agricultural zones and requiring rezonings for large residential subdivisions.

The presenter, identified as a market representative, said their organization runs markets in Syracuse, West Point and Sunset and uses a marketing approach focused on vendor stories and local businesses. “Our markets average about 35 to 40 vendors a week,” the presenter said. The representative proposed launching a Riverdale market after July 4 and running the season through October.

City staff and councilors raised logistical concerns including parking capacity, crowding near the playground and splash pad, and a potential overlap with a planned outdoor classroom infrastructure project. Michelle (city staff) said parking would be the “big concern” and warned against using the fire station parking lot; she also noted increased visitor traffic from new playground equipment and the splash pad.

Community Development staff said they would work with the market organizers to identify a suitable site and that the city did not expect any council action that night. Councilors encouraged the market organizers to coordinate with city staff on logistics and timing.

The market representative said they would work with the city and that city staff did not expect a formal council action; the council committed to staff coordination. No formal approvals or funding commitments were made at the meeting.","A private market operator proposed operating a weekly farmers market in Riverdale from July to October, promising 35–40 vendors and vendor storytelling marketing.
