Keith said the team has discussed tree planting with the parks district and proposed a community-tree day to place trees in locations wanted by residents rather than forcing plantings in turf strips. He also described a proposed financial contribution to parks in lieu of providing open space on-site: \"$7,500 for the 24 lots that were put in, plus $7,500 on future lots as well to invest in the community,\" he said, framing that figure as a potential compromise to compensate for reduced open space.

Staff and commissioners discussed applying the R-1-15 zone (which the participant said yields about 2.9 units per acre) instead of the existing A-1 zoning. Planning staff said the R-1-15 approach would likely increase lots in the open-space portion to roughly 25–29 units (the current concept showed 26), while still allowing for required stormwater retention and drainage.

Commissioners and the applicant also discussed partnering with the parks district on irrigation/water shares: staff said water shares not needed for the subdivision could be made available to parks as part of the package. Parks staff reportedly prefer investing in larger, nearby park facilities rather than creating a small isolated five‑acre community farm on the parcel.

Connectivity between the proposed neighborhood and adjacent subdivisions—specifically whether to provide a street connection or a pathway—was a recurring concern. Staff recalled earlier debate in which pathway connections were requested; some commissioners said they prefer pathway connectivity to preserve neighborhood character while still linking communities. Staff noted code options for pathway dedications: a 15‑foot easement with a developer-built fence or a 30‑foot easement where landowners build fences, and that a 10‑ to 12‑foot paved trail is a common practical width used in recent projects.

Commissioners raised equity and precedent questions: several noted that owners who previously accepted the original subdivision standards might view a new contribution requirement as the applicant asking for additional benefit after having already received development rights. Commissioner Casey said asking for the same standard the community now expects \"puts them on neutral,\" while another commissioner suggested the county should seek greater community benefit from a rezone.

No formal action or vote was taken. Staff said the likely next step is to return the proposal to the Planning Commission with updated terms, public-notice mailings to nearby owners, and a public hearing to gather neighbor comment.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Weber County Planning Commission - Work Session July 8, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At a July 8 work session, the applicant for Halcyon (referred to as Alcon/Halcyon Estate) described a revised approach for open-space land and a proposal to contribute $7,500 per lot to parks; commissioners and staff discussed zoning (R-1-15), water shares, and pathway vs. street connectivity.","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},6656081,"Landowner asks Weber County to extend C-2 zoning to encompass full parcel at 1400 South and 4700 West",1196,49515,1246000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5341767-6beaf1b2b6704bbc66d6a8e8c50943f9&start=49&end=1246","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5341767-6beaf1b2b6704bbc66d6a8e8c50943f9/thumbnail_49515.jpg","/articles/6656081/Weber-County/Utah/Landowner-asks-Weber-County-to-extend-C-2-zoning-to-encompass-full-parcel-at-1400-South-and-4700-West","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6656081-d67290f139f5aac57a329f840ae7e1a1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770846149&Signature=hKIbb9ou2S-5eCcXB-IIh1Fz6TSiZZf3PkCOY8Okq~~HfWsflHKf8ZHGk0DlveW5b2h0ychasb3UzJWtU5Vdi4q6jrc-hRbW--DRGgOrXttKpfhAU3urrdxh3k6Ymr-HbmxdxflH02OHuekIFTzR7WJdCgkgpivbTGatwtS14E-joGKSKvcEB1TYd4R-cOxtOdOS7h-9xBERxVz~hjCv2545nWcJMvD-~Id6oQ7-R9CCCLhYo3Prka1P2j1TnF30NIT5ttlLDRlWNpVEeBmtNNHJNRypYshBTRymK98bwpD3RIFu47sKfwrNeFBp47OGaYgDAB49vyhKiYuO4mBwYA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dale Jordan, the landowner of a commercial property at the corner of 1400 South and 4700 West, asked planning staff on July 8 to amend the county zoning map so the C-2 commercial zone follows the parcel boundary and covers the entire site.

Jordan said the current zoning line leaves a narrow strip of non-C-2 land around part of the parcel and creates compliance risks for his business. “We are just requesting an amendment to the line to carry it all the way out,” he said. Jordan described renovating the former store on the site and investing money to restore buildings there.

The request would move the C-2 zone boundary to the property line and, by practice, to the center of the adjacent streets. Planning staff and commissioners discussed whether C-2 (community commercial) or C-1 (neighborhood commercial) better fits the county general plan’s stated intent for mixed-use, main-street–style frontage in that corridor. Charlie (planning staff) said the general plan calls for mixed commercial, which can include storefront retail and potential residential or office above street-level uses, and suggested a development agreement to secure appropriate uses.

Several commissioners said the county could accommodate the existing business while protecting neighbors by writing specific limits into a development agreement. Commissioner Bridal said a development agreement could “run with the land” if written that way; planning staff confirmed that most development agreements are written to remain with the land unless the agreement specifies otherwise.

Staff explained that formal changes to the zone boundary require a public hearing: the proposal would go to the Planning Commission and then to the County Commission. Charlie told Jordan the public-notice and hearing process could take “a couple of months” from the time an application is filed.

No formal vote was taken at the work session. Commissioners asked staff to work with the landowner to draft options, including a possible development agreement that could limit certain C-2 uses, and to return the item to the Planning Commission for a public hearing.

Jordan said he wants the parcel to be marketable and compliant with county zoning. He also said the parcel includes an older home currently rented and that he would consider fencing or other measures to separate commercial activity from adjacent residences.

Planning staff advised Jordan to sign up for notices through the Utah public notices website or contact the county planning office to receive formal hearing notices when the item advances.

The county provided parcel identifiers during the discussion: parcel numbers 15-054-0075 and 15-054-0073 were cited by staff as the properties under consideration.","At a July 8 work session, landowner Dale Jordan asked planning commissioners to amend the county zoning map so the C-2 commercial zone follows parcel lines and covers the full property at 1400 South and 4700 West. Commissioners said a development agreement and public-hearing process are likely next steps.","actionData","errors"]
