Ogden, UT Zoning — Only Plans

Overview

Code type

euclidean

Naming convention

lot-size-encoded for R-1 (R-1-5 / R-1-6 / R-1-8 / R-1-10 — number = min lot in 1,000s sf); two-family uses suffix (R-2, R-2EC, R-2S 2023 small-lot); commercial numeric (C-1/C-2/C-3) with CP-* parking variants; industrial numeric (M-1/M-2); downtown uses CBD / C-2/CP-2 downtown variants.

Existing Title 15 is a traditional Euclidean code on amlegal. ZoneOgden UDC rewrite (Titles 14/15/17/18 consolidation) was in Planning Commission hearing 2026-03-11; draft at zone-ogden.com. Profile captures legacy Title 15 because UDC is not yet adopted as of 2026-04-19. Wasatch Front / UTA-served city => full suite of UT state preemptions applies.

State preemptions

UT-HB82-InternalADUapplies

Qualifying condition

HB 82 (2021 eff 2021-10-01) applies to all Utah cities of 1st–5th class in res_sf zones. Ogden pop 87,321 (Census PEP 2024) is a 2nd-class city (10,000–100,000) per Utah Code §10-2-301; has res_sf base districts R-1-5/R-1-6/R-1-8/R-1-10 — qualifies.

UT-SB140-HB409-DetachedADUapplies

Qualifying condition

SB 140 (2023) + HB 409 (2023) eff 2023-05-03 — res_sf/res_mf/mu parcels statewide. Ogden has res_sf (R-1-5/6/8/10), res_mf/duplex (R-2, R-2EC, R-2S), and mu (CBD / downtown mixed-use) zones — qualifies.

UT-HB462-MIH-Plan-Frameworkapplies

Qualifying condition

HB 462 (2022, amended 2023/2024) requires Wasatch Front MPO cities with pop >5,000 to adopt a Moderate Income Housing (MIH) element, select ≥3 of 24 menu strategies, and report annually to Utah DWS. Ogden pop 87,321 >> 5,000 threshold; Weber County is a core WFRC (Wasatch Front Regional Council) MPO member; Ogden hosts the FrontRunner commuter rail station at 25th Street — qualifies on all counts.

UT-HB462-StationAreaPlan-SAPapplies

Qualifying condition

HB 462 requires cities containing a UTA fixed-guideway (FrontRunner / TRAX / BRT) station to adopt a Station Area Plan (SAP) around each station certifying density / housing / multimodal / mixed-use goals. Ogden Intermodal Transit Center (FrontRunner at Wall Ave / 25th St) is a UTA fixed-guideway station — city must adopt a certified SAP for that station area. Ogden draft SAP is part of the Make Ogden / Station District planning efforts; certification status with WFRC/UTA should be confirmed against the WFRC SAP adoption roster.

notes	Atomized claims: Title 15 Chapter 15 R-1-* lot-size and 35 ft height = confirmed via Google snippet + v1 research. R-2S Ord 2023-41 = confirmed via ogdencity.gov/DocumentCenter/View/26315 (non-amlegal primary). UT HB 82/SB 140/HB 409/HB 462/SB 174 trigger predicates = confirmed arithmetically (pop 87,321 >> 5,000; Weber County in WFRC MPO; UTA FrontRunner station present; all res_sf zones in scope). Chapter 3 overlay roster (FP / SA / TO / CO) = confirmed via Google snippet of Chapter 3 TOC; DGOD / ICO / HP / AIZ = partial (ordinance text not retrieved; inferred via Make Ogden 2023 draft and city landmarks/airport context). 3 claims remained unverifiable under amlegal_403: exact C-1/C-2/C-3/M-1/M-2 dimensional tables, R-3/R-4 split details, current WFRC SAP certification status. Thresholds: 43/46 = 93.5% supported → verification status partial. No claims contradicted.
