Council approves rezoning for Peek Subdivision on 34.635 acres
Summary
The South Weber City Council voted unanimously to rezone roughly 34.635 acres at 898 E 7240 S from Agricultural to a mix of low- and moderate-density residential zones, after staff and the Planning Commission reviewed traffic and infrastructure concerns and the developer confirmed phasing and legal descriptions.
The South Weber City Council on March 10 approved Ordinance 2026-04 to rezone approximately 34.635 acres at 898 E 7240 S from Agricultural to a combination of RL‑M (14.044 acres) and R‑M (20.58 acres). Community Development Manager Lance Evans told the council the application "matches the legal description submitted by the applicant" and that the Planning Commission had unanimously recommended approval after a public hearing.
Residents had raised traffic and safety concerns during public comment and at the Planning Commission hearing, particularly about a UDOT-required access point at 925 East. Evans told the council that public comments had expressed worries about the blind corner, existing road capacity, increased accident risk, school traffic and sidewalk and infrastructure deficiencies. City Engineer Brandon Jones said the access connection aligning South Weber Drive with 925 East is a UDOT requirement and that the location is safer than alternatives farther east.
Developer Korey Kap described a four-phase buildout and confirmed the road connection must be completed in phase one. Council members questioned whether the acreage in the application was current; Evans and Jones reiterated the application is based on the developer's legal descriptions and totals 34.635 acres. Councilwoman Angie Petty moved to approve the ordinance, Councilman Blair Halverson seconded, and all five council members voted aye.
The ordinance changes the land-use designation for the parcel and clears the way for subdivision review and future permitting; it does not itself approve a final plat or specific lot layouts. Council and staff noted additional traffic and UDOT review will be necessary during subdivision approval.
