South Weber council denies proposed General Plan amendment for 10.7-acre parcel
Summary
On Jan. 14 the South Weber City Council voted 4-1 to deny a request by Thomas Hunt and Korey Kap to change the General Plan designation of a 10.7-acre parcel from Residential Low Moderate to Residential Moderate Density, after council members raised concerns about timing and transportation links.
The South Weber City Council voted 4-1 on Jan. 14 to deny a proposed amendment to the city's General Plan that would have reclassified roughly 10.7 acres owned by applicants Thomas Hunt and Korey Kap from Residential Low Moderate to Residential Moderate Density.
Councilman Blair Halverson said he “does not favor amending the General Plan at this time.” Community Development Manager Lance Evans told the council the request aligns with surrounding lot sizes and densities but characterized the General Plan as a guiding document rather than a zoning change. Councilman Joel Dills said he favored following the General Plan while other members cited ambiguity in the transportation plan as a concern.
Councilman Halverson moved to deny the amendment and Councilman Wayne Winsor seconded; the motion carried 4-1, with Dills voting nay. The denial leaves the parcel on the current General Plan map and maintains the plan's existing guidance for the area.
The discussion centered on the relationship between land-use guidance and the city's transportation plan; council members asked for clarity about connections to South Weber Drive and potential impacts on traffic and services. Mayor Rod Westbroek and Councilwoman Angie Petty sided with Halverson in opposing the amendment. No further action on this amendment was recorded in the meeting transcript.
