Draft Southside City Center master plan lays out mixed-use vision and implementation steps
Summary
Consultant Ben told a joint South Ogden City Council and Planning Commission workshop that the draft master plan — about 95% complete — calls for a mixed‑use city center with a pedestrian Kiesel corridor, a 35,000‑sq‑ft plaza, up to roughly 1,000 housing units, and coordinated zoning and CRA updates.
Ben, the lead consultant from Downtown Redevelopment Services, told the joint workshop the draft Southside City Center master plan is "about 95% complete" and described a two‑tier set of recommendations: a detailed core plan and a broader set of areawide suggestions. He credited Wasatch Front Regional Council funding and partner consultants for project work and said formal adoption is targeted for August–September pending delivery and state requirements.
The plan frames five implementation objectives — property assemblage and redevelopment, a multimodal plaza and pedestrianized Kiesel corridor, a façade improvement program, a height‑transition and missing‑middle housing strategy, and updates to the CRA to support infrastructure costs. Ben emphasized that the city does not own the key parcels and that public elements will be negotiated with private property owners and developers.
