Rezone of 6.9 acres at 605 North Jackson Avenue
Discussed
Planning Manager Barton Brierley said Ogden City Community Development petitioned to rezone 6.9 acres from R-1-6 to R-1-5 to allow slightly smaller single-family lots. The city bought 6.5 acres from the school district as surplus property and is buying the rest. The Planning Commission recommended approval after a May 1 hearing. Council Member Richard Hyer said the city made commitments to the school district board about the existing cul-de-sac and transportation improvements that he feels are not being honored. The council said residents can raise concerns with staff or the Planning Commission as the subdivision moves forward.

Approved · 7-0
The council rezoned 6.9 acres for single-family lots; the city bought 6.5 acres from the school district and is buying about 0.40 acres more. Planning Manager Barton Brierley said the Planning Commission recommended approval May 1 and the zoning fits General Plan goals of expanding homeownership and in-fill. One resident spoke in favor of single-family homes. Vice Chair Marcia White urged staff and the eventual developer to consider alternatives to the planned cul-de-sac layout, and Council Member Richard Hyer said nearby residents want a through street for connectivity.
