2. Public hearing to consider approval and adoption of the Moderate Income Housing Element of Ogden Valley and West Central General Plans

Jim Gentry, County Planning Department, stated that this was Weber County's moderate income housing plan as directed by State law that all counties and cities draft. He said that this plan followed State guidelines and Chris Allred, Deputy County Attorney, had reviewed it. Mr. Gentry asked that the Commission take public comments but to table any action until he had an opportunity to review the calculations on the percentage of growth for the Ogden Valley and the lower valley with one of his staff. He noted that this figure did not affect the plan. He said that Section 5 of this plan did show a need for moderate income housing and Section 8 addressed the methods to encourage and enable the moderate income housing. Resolutions will be drafted to amend the General Plans.

 Commissioner Bischoff asked how this plan could be implemented in the Ogden Valley and Mr. Gentry said that his department was looking at accessory apartments within single family dwellings, increasing the bonus densities for clusters and P.R.U.D.s for the moderate income, etc. Chair Cain said they needed to look at an average cost of an acre in the Ogden Valley and determine how many units would have to be put on the property in order for it to rank as moderate income. Commissioner Burton asked how to factor in the septic tank issue with higher densities–would they use a common drain field or hook into a sewer system and Mr. Gentry said that they would use those methods. He said that with accessory apartments, septic systems could be enlarged if the number of bedrooms and bathrooms were limited. Chair Cain invited public comments and none were offered.

Commissioner Bischoff moved to adjourn the public hearing and reconvene the public meeting; Commissioner Burton seconded, all voting aye. 3.
