The Weber County Planning Commission will hold a series of public hearings on Oct. 13, 2026, to consider several rezoning proposals that could transform large tracts of agricultural land into residential neighborhoods and public parks. The meetings, scheduled for 5:00 p.m. at the Weber Center in Ogden, will address multiple developments ranging from townhome communities to large-scale residential zones.

Wagstaff North Rezoning Proposals

One major proposal involves the Wagstaff North area, where an applicant has requested to rezone approximately 150.37 acres located near 3800 West 400 South. According to a notice from the Weber County Planning Division, the request seeks to change the land from an A-2 Agricultural zone to an R1-15 Residential zone.

In addition to the residential rezoning, the county is considering an additional measure for the Wagstaff North site. Officials are considering rezoning approximately 30.25 acres of the 150.37-acre parcel adjacent to the Weber River from the A-2 Agricultural zone to an O-1 Open Space zone. This change is intended for the purpose of creating a public park.

Wagstaff-Nilson Residential Expansion

A separate request for the Wagstaff area involves the Wagstaff-Nilson project. This proposal seeks to rezone approximately 84.94 acres located at 3800 West 400 South from A-1 and A-2 Agricultural zones to the R1-15 Residential zone.

Following the public hearing on Oct. 13, 2026, the Planning Commission will make a recommendation regarding this rezone to the County Commission. The County Commission will hold a later meeting, the date of which has not yet been determined, to make a final decision on the matter.

Willow Village Development Plan

In the Willow Village area, the Planning Commission will review a proposal to rezone approximately 33 acres from the A-1 Agriculture Zone. The proposal seeks to convert roughly 31 acres into a FB Form-Based Zone and 2 acres into an O-1 Open Space Zone.

The development plan includes an agreement for approximately 16 acres that could allow for the construction of townhomes and detached single-family homes. Additionally, the proposal aims to recognize previously approved but now nonconforming lots in The Barn at Terakee Farms as conforming lots and seeks to preserve land for a future public pathway along the Hooper Canal.

Riverbend Density and Park Conversion

The commission will also deliberate on the Riverbend Ph3,4 project. The applicant is requesting R1-15 zoning for an area that includes previously designated residential lots and land proposed for additional lots on land previously designated as privately owned agricultural open space. In exchange for this zoning, the applicant proposes to convert and convey approximately 19.54 acres for a public park.

County officials noted that Riverbend Farms was previously approved as an A-1/A-2 cluster subdivision, which allowed for smaller residential lots in exchange for agricultural open space while maintaining an overall density of approximately 1.5 dwellings per acre. Developing some of that open space would make existing lots nonconforming to that density standard. Consequently, the county is considering R1-15 zoning for existing Riverbend lots to remain consistent with their smaller-lot residential character, alongside O-1 zoning for the proposed 19.54-acre public park.

Meeting Details and Accommodations

All scheduled hearings will take place at the County Commission Chambers on the first floor of the Weber Center, located at 2380 Washington Blvd. in Ogden.

For those requiring special accommodations during the meetings, such as elevator access, ground floor meeting rooms, or digital meeting recording systems, the county advises notifying officials at 801-399-8794. Project information for these developments remains available through the Weber County frontier portal.
