We are against rezoning of AV-3 (Agricultural) land to Form Based Zoning. These changes threaten to disrupt the unique character of Ogden Valley and allow commercial property in residential areas. The application for rezone is in conflict with the Ogden Valley General Plan. Studies have shown there is no benefit to Form Based Zoning in rural settings (Form Based Zoning was created for urban areas).  According to data from the U.S Census Bureau, Eden has maintained steady population growth, while preserving its small-town charm. This balance is at risk with these proposed changes. We urge our Weber County Commissioners to deny amending the street regulating plan, which will increase commercial zoning in residential neighborhoods. Please sign this petition to voice your opposition against the New Town Eden Project, proposed amendments to the current Street Regulating Plan and proposed zoning changes.

The Ogden Valley Planning Commissioners have already...

DENIED this request (ZTA2023-03) on May 23, 2023:  Amending the Form-Based Village Zoning Ordinance to adjust the New Town Eden Street Regulating Plan.  

DENIED the appeal to the above request on Nov. 11, 2023: Amending the Weber County Zoning Map, rezoning approximately 20 acres of land at approximately 5204 East HWY 166, from AV-3 Zone to the Form Based Zone. 

1. We oppose Form Based Zoning (FBZ) for the Eden Crossing parcels (and Ogden Valley)
2. We oppose any changes to the current street regulating plan
3. We oppose Eden Crossing Development which includes:
   • 3 story apartment building/strip mall/shopping plaza
   • 100 room hotel
   • 192 condos
   • 58 townhomes
   • 37,000 SF retail space, another grocery store and another bank

Please add your signature to ask our County Commissions to deny the request to:

• Alter the current street regulating plan
• To deny any implementation of Form Based Zoning to the Eden Crossing parcels. 

You do not need to contribute to the donation. Help us preserve and keep the rural nature of Ogden Valley by signing this petition and writing an email or letter to the Weber County Commissioners.  Don't forget to say "add to public record".
