Commission rezones 65 acres for Maybus subdivision; park dedication and traffic upgrades required
Summary
The Weber County Commission approved Ordinance 2026‑07 to rezone 65 acres to R115 for the Maybus subdivision (2.9 units/acre). The development agreement requires a 17‑acre park dedication to the West Weber Park District (or $7,500 per door if the district declines) and selected street and intersection improvements based on a traffic impact study.
The Weber County Commission on March 17 approved Ordinance 2026‑07 to rezone roughly 65 acres from A2 to R115 for the Maybus subdivision (ZMA 2024‑08), a change that allows an average density of 2.9 units per acre.
Felix Yarino, the county planner presenting the item, summarized the proposal and the development agreement: the plan envisions single‑family detached lots, street systems, pathways and public open space. He said the developer agreed to dedicate 17 acres of parkland to the West Weber Park District as part of the approval or, if the park district declines, to pay a fee of $7,500 per door as an alternate contribution.
Yarino said the development agreement includes a traffic impact study and lists required improvements to nearby corridors and intersections. Among the conditions is that the developer will install downward‑directed, fully shielded lights at the northeast and northwest corners of 6700 West and 900 South; roadway widening, restriping and other off‑site improvements on 6700 West, 7100 West and portions of 900 South are also included.
Commissioner Sharon Bolos asked whether the park district had accepted the land; Yarino said negotiations were ongoing and the district had not yet signed a final agreement. Commissioners sought and received a clear staff commitment that, if the district declines the parkland, the developer’s alternate contribution or dedication will not enable the developer to exceed the approved density — lot averaging still caps development at 2.9 units per acre.
The commission approved the ordinance by roll call. The development agreement and the traffic mitigation exhibits must be satisfied during subsequent subdivision and improvement‑drawing reviews before lots are platted and building permits issued.
Next steps: the developer must finalize any agreement with the West Weber Park District or pay the fee per door; subdivision improvement drawings will be reviewed to ensure required intersection and street improvements are included before final platting.
