Height Standards in R-3 Zones and Adjacent to Single-family and Open Space Zones Amendment

Ogden is considering a zoning ordinance change that would modify allowable heights in R-3 Multiple-family zones and adjacent to single-family residential or open space zones. The city is considering this ordinance in response to concerns that there is no base height limit in R-3 zones.  

The proposed ordinance would:

1. Amend the zoning ordinance to set a maximum height of four stories or 50 feet in the R-3 Zone; and
2. Modify transition standards to require additional setbacks for buildings over 35 feet high adjacent to single-family residential or open space zones.

The Ogden City Council will consider the ordinance at a public hearing on March 21, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. at the Ogden Municipal Building.
