> Ogden Limits Apartment Development Along Busy Roads to Boost Single-Family Homes

Ogden city leaders approved a zoning change to restrict apartment developments along major traffic corridors, aiming to preserve these areas for commercial use and encourage more single-family housing.

Main takeaways:

• The new zoning policy directs multifamily housing projects away from high-traffic roads like Wall Avenue and 12th Street, focusing instead on walkable areas with parks and community amenities.

• Mayor Ben Nadolski and city officials believe this shift will balance the city's housing needs, addressing concerns over an oversupply of apartments and a lack of single-family homes.

• As Ogden updates its general plan, city leaders are actively seeking community input to ensure a balanced approach to future development, with public meetings planned to gather residents' feedback.
