Ogden City Council - July 14, 2026

The Ogden City Council and Redevelopment Agency held meetings on July 14, 2026, focusing on several key procurement and development issues. The City Council adopted Resolution 2026-9 to establish a fair and transparent process for filling a council vacancy, including tie-breaking procedures. The Redevelopment Agency discussed an amendment to the development agreement with Lotus Company for the Thorensson building, proposing a shift to 25 income-targeted artist loft units utilizing federal and state historic tax credits. The amendment was approved despite some opposition concerned about the balance of affordable versus market-rate housing. Additionally, the Agency considered a participation and incentive agreement with Color Sky Homes for developing 10 entry-level townhomes with owner-occupancy restrictions for three years, aimed at promoting homeownership in the Adams community investment area. This agreement was approved after some debate and a failed motion to table for further review. Public comments addressed concerns about affordable housing, historic preservation, and community impact. The meetings highlighted ongoing efforts to balance affordable housing needs, historic preservation, and economic development in Ogden.
