Ogden City Council - March 24, 2026

The Ogden City Council held a special meeting on March 24, 2026, which included a public hearing on proposed fee increases for golf services and a detailed discussion and vote on a zoning reclassification and development agreement for a residential project at 1201 16th Street. The council approved incremental increases to golf fees, including season passes and punch passes, to keep pace with inflation and operational costs. The zoning discussion focused on rezoning approximately four acres from R-2 to R-2S to allow development of 42 owner-occupied townhomes with deed restrictions requiring ten years of owner occupancy. The council unanimously approved the rezoning ordinance after extensive public input addressing concerns about parking, traffic, neighborhood character, and community engagement. The meeting also featured an extended public comment session regarding the local ICE facility, with community members expressing concerns about alleged violations of the facility's conditional use permit, detainee treatment, and the impact on immigrant families. Council members acknowledged the limitations of local authority over federal agencies but committed to further oversight and discussions, including scheduling additional meetings to address these issues. The council also responded to questions about city parking facilities and chemical storage at the sewage treatment plant, indicating forthcoming reports and reviews.
