Commission approves rezoning for 74‑unit development at 600 South and 4700 West
Summary
The Weber County Commission approved rezoning roughly 25.69 acres from A-1 to RE-15 to permit a 74-unit subdivision with required roadway and pathway improvements and a parks donation of $7,500 per unit.
The Weber County Commission on April 22 approved an ordinance rezoning about 25.69 acres at approximately 600 South and 4700 West from A-1 to RE-15 to allow a proposed 74-unit residential development.
Planning staff told commissioners the proposal fits the general plan’s medium‑lot density and includes developer-funded connectivity: a network of 10‑foot pathways, sidewalks on both sides of new streets where pathways are absent, and roadway upgrades to 4700 West. The developer proposed a $7,500 per‑unit parks donation for 74 units as part of the development agreement.
Staff said the proposal was reviewed by the planning commission (initial hearing in August 2023) and adjusted afterward to refine pathway connections and right‑of‑way improvements; staff and the planning chair and vice‑chair reviewed later refinements and did not require the item to return to planning commission. The applicant testified at the public hearing that staff had been “great to work with.”
Commissioners emphasized transportation and connectivity concerns in an area experiencing growth and noted the development agreement includes provisions requiring the developer to construct the specified infrastructure and dedicate right‑of‑way so future road widening would not fall to county taxpayers. After discussion, the commission approved Ordinance 2025‑07 on a roll call vote.
The rezoning and development agreement require the developer to construct pathways and make roadway improvements to a 32‑foot right‑of‑way with sidewalks and a center turn lane where specified. Staff said the canal pathway adjacent to the site lies outside the applicant’s property and the developer proposed alternative pathway connections where practical.
