Commission approves Herrick Estates rezoning, planning staff cites canal-aligned pathway
Summary
Weber County Commission unanimously approved Ordinance 2025-18 to rezone the Herrick Estates site at 601 South 3600 West; staff emphasized connectivity to the Hooper Irrigation Canal, required right-of-way dedications and pathway standards included in the development agreement.
The Weber County Commission on July 1 approved Ordinance 2025-18 and the associated development agreement to rezone roughly 32.112 acres at approximately 601 South 3600 West from A-1 to R-115 for the Herrick Estates development (ZMA 2025-01).
Planner Felix Reno presented the proposal, noting the planning commission had held a public hearing and recommended approval. Reno said the R-115 designation reflects lots averaging roughly 15,000 square feet and that, using gross acreage, the developer’s concept plan yields about 93 lots.
Reno highlighted several required improvements that are included in the development agreement: right-of-way dedications and roadway improvements, a pathway alignment that follows the Hooper Irrigation Canal, and specific street types and widths. He described street-type standards in the concept plan: a 60-foot right of way for one street type, a 66-foot right of way for a neighborhood collector (with a 10-foot pathway), and a 100-foot right of way where larger improvements are expected.
Other points recorded in the hearing: - Connectivity: Staff and the planning commission prioritized alignment of the proposed pathway with the Hooper Irrigation Canal; the developer included an additional 2.4 acres of Musgrave property to better achieve that alignment. - Roadway improvements: Reno said required asphalt improvements on 3600 West would extend from the development’s northern boundary to 725 South, not to 900 South. - Platting: Reno told the commission that no plat had been proposed or recorded at the time of the hearing; the rezoning is coupled to the development agreement and future plat review.
Public comment: None was offered during the hearing.
Action: Commissioner Jim Harvey moved approval of Ordinance 2025-18; Commissioner Gage Frower seconded. The commission recorded unanimous ayes and carried the motion.
Provenance: The item was introduced as a public hearing (ZMA 2025-01) and the planning-staff presentation and subsequent roll-call vote are recorded in the meeting transcript.
