Council approves rezone at 2666 North 400 East to community commercial downtown
Summary
The North Ogden City Council voted unanimously to rezone 2666 North 400 East from Residential City Center to Community Commercial Downtown (Ordinance 2025-02) after a planning commission recommendation; applicants said the property will be used primarily for low-intensity office space.
The North Ogden City Council on Feb. 25 approved an ordinance to rezone 2666 North 400 East from Residential City Center to Community Commercial Downtown, Ordinance 2025-02, a change recommended unanimously by the Planning Commission on Feb. 5, 2025.
Scott Hess, planning staff, summarized the application and the commission's recommendation: "we do have an application for a rezone from the residential city center zone to community commercial downtown CCDT. ... Historically, this home has been used as a variety of home occupation businesses, and currently, what they wanna do is convert it into office space essentially for, legal counsel and then potentially architecture." Hess said the parcel sits adjacent to established commercial zones and a mix of commercial and multifamily uses across Washington Boulevard.
The applicants, Trevor Osborne and Catherine Osborne, were present and offered to answer questions. Council member Dalpaz said he watched the Planning Commission deliberation and noted neighborhood turnout was light: "the neighbors in that block, they usually show out in force if there's something they're not happy with. And, there was 1 person that showed up and had some pretty positive sentiments." Council member Watson said the change aligned with the general plan: "moving the line by 1 property is not gonna impact the main idea of the general plan. So I support this rezone request as well." Council member Cole referenced the Planning Commission's review of potential site issues such as fencing and concrete pads.
The council moved to a roll-call vote. Council member Pulver voted yes; Council member Watson voted yes; Council member Barker voted yes; Council member Severing voted yes; Council member Dalpaz voted yes. The mayor announced the motion passed unanimously.
The ordinance changes the zoning designation for the single parcel at 2666 North 400 East to Community Commercial Downtown, which, as presented in the meeting, would allow conversion of the existing dwelling to lower-intensity office uses rather than higher-intensity commercial or multiunit residential development. Planning staff said the change "fits in well with the neighborhood" and noted that the parcel had a history of home-occupation uses.
The council did not amend the ordinance on the floor. The Planning Commission record and the ordinance number were referenced during the vote; the council did not attach additional conditions during the meeting.
The decision may affect future permit reviews for building alterations or change-of-use permits; council members and staff directed applicants to follow standard permitting and improvement processes for any physical site changes.
