Council rezones 155 W. 14th St. from industrial to commercial to allow retail and service uses
Summary
The council approved a rezone of 155 West 14th Street from M‑1 (industrial) to C‑3 (commercial) after a planning commission recommendation; the site includes a 12,000 sq. ft. building and the applicant said interior upgrades and parking work are underway.
The Ogden City Council on July 15 adopted an ordinance rezoning 155 West 14th Street from M‑1 (industrial) to C‑3 (commercial). Planning staff recommended approval, saying the change is consistent with the Gibson Community Plan and the existing commercial pattern across the street.
The property is approximately 32,000 square feet with an existing roughly 12,000 square‑foot building that currently houses the Iron House gym. The owner/applicant, Tyler Alexander with GRIG, told the council the property already has had outdoor storage removed and parking striped and that interior work to prepare new commercial uses could be completed in two to three weeks after approvals. Proposed uses enabled by the rezone include beauty salons, tattoo parlors and office or retail services that are not allowed in the M‑1 zone.
Planning staff noted a few site improvements will be required to meet code, including landscaping and dumpster screening. The staff presentation said the change would avoid isolating neighborhoods and better align the property with adjacent commercial zoning.
Action and vote: Council Member Myers moved to adopt proposed ordinance 2025‑23 to amend the zoning map; the motion was seconded and passed by roll call vote. Planning staff and the applicant discussed the landscaping timeline and confirmed the applicant had contacted Rocky Mountain Power to address lighting improvements.
Noted follow‑ups: Planning staff said they will continue code compliance conversations with the property owner and will address any outstanding site items before final occupancy. The council also discussed whether to proactively consider adjacent lots for rezoning as part of a future code and general plan update; staff recommended that proposal be considered during the broader code update process.
