On August 15th 2023 the County Commission unanimously approved file number ZMA2023-03, the Smart Fields Rezone, during a public hearing.

Hi Steve and Felix,

Steve, I just saw your message to Nate Reeve about the open application for Smart Fields under the A-1 zone. That application was opened in April 2021. With the passing of the new master plan in Western Weber, we made the decision to not move forward with the original application and we submitted the new Rezone Application January 2023 (this application). If needed, can you change the April 2021 application status? We will submit a new subdivision application once the rezone is approved. Do we have an estimate on timeline? Is there anything else you need from us? Thank you.

Vice Chair Favero called for a motion. Commissioner Wichern motioned the following. It was seconded by Commissioner McCormick:

1.       Forward a positive recommendation to the County Commission. Before consideration by the County Commission, the owner will voluntarily enter into a development agreement with the County; that development agreement will include provisions listed below:

a.       That the concept plan includes the appropriate width of right-of-way for 1600 South at 66’ and 4300 West at 80’

b.       The concept plan shall display that 1700 South Street continues through adjacent developments eastward

c.       That the concept plan includes a 30’ pathway southward from the corner of 4400 West and 1700 South.

d.       The number of lots shall not exceed the gross area divided by a 1/3 acre (minimum lot size for a ‘Medium-size’ lot).

e.       The development agreement will specify that the zoning will govern the allowed uses, except that uses that require a one-half acre of land or more shall not be permitted.

f.         The final layout of streets and infrastructure shall conform to the County Commission-approved concept plan.

g.       The streets shall be lined with trees, spaced at a distance so that, at maturity, their canopies touch. The trees shall be of a species that are deep-rooting and have a high likelihood of survival, given the unique characteristics of the soils.

h.       The park strips shall have six-inch angular rock.

i.         Multiple elements of water-conserving landscape plans, designed by a licensed landscape architect, are implemented for all lots within the development.

j.         There shall be a $2000.00 per lot minimum contribution or in kind or as agreed by the parks district and developer.

k.       That Dark Sky lighting is installed, dark sky compatible lighting 

l.         1600 S to extend to the far west edge of the development.

This recommendation comes with the following findings:

1.       The proposal implements certain goals and policies of the West Central Weber General Plan.

2.       The development is not detrimental to the overall health, safety, and welfare of the community.

The Smart Fields rezone request will be scheduled for a public hearing on the Western Weber Planning Commission agenda. Smart Fields Rezone Notice of Public Hearing_2.pdf 

This request for a rezone is scheduled on the Western Weber Planning Commission public hearing agenda to be held on March 14th, 2023 in the Weber County Commission Chambers, 2380 Washington Blvd. The meeting starts at 5:00 pm.

Steve,

What other documents do you need? I assume we will be on the March Planning Commission correct? Thank you.
