Draft plan targets roughly 1,000 units, flags one‑bedroom shortfall
Summary
The consultant said the study area could accommodate roughly 1,000 housing units (potentially housing up to about 3,000 people) and that the housing analysis identified a shortage of one‑bedroom units, recommending a range of unit types and periodic code updates.
Ben said the plan envisions "a little over a little under 1000 units" across the study area and that block‑by‑block breakdowns were calibrated to ensure retail and office space would be absorbable by the market. He cautioned that final population and unit counts will depend on the developer's unit-mix decisions and could vary by roughly ±20%.
The housing analysis singled out one‑bedroom apartments as the most‑needed product in South Ogden, while existing stock contains larger townhomes and multi‑bedroom units. Ben recommended a height‑transition approach and 'missing‑middle' housing (two‑ to three‑story mixed‑use buildings and townhomes) to provide intermediary building types between taller core buildings and adjacent single‑family neighborhoods.
