The Weber County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, to consider multiple rezoning proposals that could transform agricultural land into residential developments or public spaces. The scheduled hearing is set for 5:00 p.m. at the County Commission Chambers located on the first floor of the Weber Center in Ogden.
Terakee Farms Rezoning Proposal
One proposal under consideration involves rezoning approximately 33 acres from the A-1 Agriculture Zone to a mix of FB Form-Based and O-1 Open Space zones. This development plan includes an agreement for roughly 16 acres and may allow for the construction of townhomes and detached single-family homes.
As part of this specific proposal, the development could recognize previously approved lots in The Barn at Terakee Farms as conforming, even if they are currently considered nonconforming or grandfathered. Additionally, the plan seeks to preserve land for a future public pathway situated along the Hooper Canal.
Riverbend Farms Density Changes
In a separate matter, the Planning Commission will review a request to rezone approximately 84.94 acres located near 3800 West 400 South. The applicant is seeking to change the designation from A-1/A-2 Agricultural zones to R1-15 Residential zones.
According to Weber County, the Riverbend Farms area was previously approved as an A-1/A-2 cluster subdivision. This designation allowed for smaller residential lots by utilizing agricultural open space, maintaining an overall density of approximately 1.5 dwellings per acre. However, developing portions of that open space would cause existing lots to become nonconforming under current standards. The proposed R1-15 zoning would allow for a density of 2.9 dwellings per overall acre, which the County says is consistent with the existing smaller-lot residential character of the area.
Public Park and Deliberation
The Riverbend Farms proposal also includes a provision for public land. The applicant proposes to convert and convey approximately 19.54 acres for use as a public park. This park would be designated under O-1 zoning.
Following the public hearing on Oct. 13, the Planning Commission will deliberate to form a recommendation. This recommendation will then be forwarded to the County Commission for further review.
Next Steps for Decision
The final decision regarding these rezoning measures will be made by the County Commission at a later meeting, the date of which has not yet been determined.
For those seeking more information or wishing to participate in the meeting, the Weber Center is located at 2380 Washington Blvd. in Ogden. Project inquiries can be directed to Project Manager Charlie Ewert.
