The Weber County Planning Commission recommended approval of a legislative rezoning to expand the C‑2 commercial zone to cover a 2.46‑acre property near 1402 South and 4700 West, forwarding a development agreement to the county commission with specific conditions and exhibit language.
Staff told commissioners the rezoning clarifies an ambiguous zone boundary and asked the landowner to dedicate appropriate right‑of‑way at the time of design review or subdivision while allowing existing legal nonconforming structures to remain until demolition or acquisition is required. Staff and the commission discussed planned right‑of‑way widths: 132 feet for 4700 West and 80 feet for 1400 South. The draft development agreement (Exhibit A in staff materials) calls for dedication of the final right‑of‑way at the time of land‑use permit or design review and for compensation provisions if a public entity acquires privately occupied structures.
Commissioners and staff also discussed design‑stage requirements including meeting county engineering sight‑distance and intersection triangle standards and integrating complete‑street elements where buildings do not occupy future right‑of‑way. Staff said sight‑distance analysis already shows adequate visibility for current conditions but that trees or other obstructions would need to be removed or adjusted as improvements are implemented.
A motion recommending approval with the development agreement terms and staff‑recommended Exhibit A passed on a roll call vote. Commissioners noted the agreement will clarify when dedications and hard improvements will be required, and that nonconforming uses are to be managed under code provisions until a public entity or developer requires removal or dedication.
