2. Public hearing regarding a request to amend the Weber County Zoning Ordinance by eliminating Chapter 4 (Gravel Zone G-1); amending Chapter 2 (Zones and Districts); amending Chapter 4 (G-2) by renaming it to Chapter 4A (G); and rezoning property located at approximately 5100 N. Shaw Drive from G-1 (aka S-1G) to AV-3

Justin Morris, County Planning Division, stated that staff is recommending the elimination of the Gravel Zone G-1 and that Chapter 4A be renamed from Gravel Zone G-2 to Gravel Zone G.

There is one property zoned G-1 and it is recommended that it be zoned to AV-3. The G-1 property owner and attorney were sent certified letters notifying them of the Planning Division’s intent to resolve the elimination of the G-1 Zone and were given 10 days to respond, but they did not.

Mr. Morris noted that this item was before the Commission on 8/11/2009 and was tabled for further clarification. After that meeting, staff met with a property representative to try resolving the issue either by rezoning the property to a gravel zone or to AV-3. Since that time, staff has made several attempts to contact them but has received no response. Chair Bischoff asked if the property owner and his attorney had been notified of today’s meeting and Mr. Morris replied they had. Commissioner Dearden asked if the rezoning was being done at the request of the property owner and Mr. Morris responded it was to clean up the ordinance. The county has two gravel zones, which are almost identical and there was only one property zoned G-1. Chair Bischoff noted that the property owner did not operate this as a business and asked if people could still get gravel from there. Mr. Morris stated that the property owner would need to get an annual business license and this had been explained to him. Chair Bischoff invited public comments and none were offered.

3. Commissioner Dearden moved to adjourn the public hearing and reconvene the public meeting; Chair Bischoff seconded, both voting aye.
