Council approves rezoning of Stamford parcel for 12 homes, conditioned on permits within five years
Summary
The South Weber City Council approved rezoning a Stamford property from agricultural to Residential Moderate for up to 12 single-family lots, with a five-year deadline for building permits; failure to pull permits will revert zoning, council members said.
The South Weber City Council approved a zoning change for the Stamford property, allowing up to 12 single-family lots if building permits are pulled within five years. "I moved to approve the ordinance ... change in zoning for the Stamford's property ... from agricultural to residential moderate with the condition of being 12 single family lots," the Chair (S4) said as he made the motion.
Planning staff and a consultant explained the mechanics of a conditional zone as a way to limit development pace. As S7 explained, "what you could do is make a zoning approval that's conditioned on building permits for these single family homes being pulled within a certain period of time. And if they're not pulled within that time, then it will revert back." Council members discussed minimum lot-size differences between RM and RLM zones (9,000 vs. 10,000 square feet) and confirmed the five-year permit window before voting.
The motion was seconded (S5) and carried by voice vote; a formal roll call tally was not recorded on the transcript. The council’s approval is procedural and conditional: staff will monitor permit activity and the zoning will revert if the permit condition is unmet.
