Staff reported that Utah law (UCA 19-5-108.3 and implementing guidance from HB 507) requires municipalities to adopt and publish standard operating procedures and template forms for stormwater construction controls. Staff said the draft documents are largely the state template with minimal local edits; adoption satisfies the statutory duty to post the SOPs and forms on the city website.

Councilmember Maureen (motion) and Councilmember Katie (second) moved to adopt the package of SOPs and forms; the council voted unanimously to adopt. Staff said the documents can be amended in future meetings if operational issues arise and that the city is already technically late on implementation because the state deadline had been Jan. 1; adopting now and posting the forms corrects the compliance gap.

The materials govern stormwater management and construction-site controls, and staff said they provide a consistent inspection and enforcement framework for construction activity in the city.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Farr West City Council Meeting 01/02/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Far West City adopted the Utah Stormwater (USWAC) preferred best management practices standard operating procedures and associated forms required by state law (UCA 19-5-108.3/HB 507) and will publish them on the city website.","taxTitle","Farr West, Weber County, Utah","taxId",7500,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6673497,"Council approves accessory building permit for Steve Peterson at 2444 W.

Parkin told the council she provides occasional boarding — usually two dogs and occasionally up to four for short stays — primarily for repeat customers and that animals stay inside the home with her family. Councilmembers noted there is no specific “dog sitter” category in city licensing and that the proposed activity triggered a kennel/boarding permit because she indicated the potential to host more than two animals.

Councilmember Katie proposed conditions that parallel Parkin’s application: a maximum of four dogs at one time, individual stays not to exceed seven days, and a requirement that boarded animals not be outside unattended. Katie made the motion to approve the conditional-use permit with those conditions; Tim seconded. A roll-call vote recorded all councilmembers present voting in favor.

The council recorded the conditions in the motion so staff can monitor compliance and enforce the permit terms if complaints arise.","The council approved a conditional-use permit for Sophoni Parkin to provide occasional boarding of up to four dogs for no more than seven days per stay, with a requirement that boarded animals not be left outside unsupervised.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6673507,"Council approves 2025 business-license renewals, holds several for follow-up",690,630000,1320000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172463-30a6c9bd07ef3cbb2544e1b547aad5cd&start=630&end=1320","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172463-30a6c9bd07ef3cbb2544e1b547aad5cd/thumbnail_630000.jpg","/articles/6673507/Farr-West/Weber-County/Utah/Council-approves-2025-business-license-renewals-holds-several-for-follow-up","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6673507-89ebcde7a692a293eba9affdd24c1b4c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771173029&Signature=axz9Gjtd4Qv6eIX-f0ySd1QSbrF0V23W~B6nuwmgmjkbjSKuUmdt01NUC7VFJg0tnpwKbP9Xs-pnMRg9xhbTIylPZ7LK0VjMBTjlufEmkntZEQXGagOjA396GP-2ipr8rTICzsHeNpQLQoOk053I1AlxacyFumNts3x8-3RYmK9Q8pgqDHRE3Xf8zFf0ags7ooFTQ5jdoorjz7ExAcSn2GHECuutKcyjvTuMepCxceuKpwGS0-CfAkZMDYKdYJNQPDjgb5jBsjMycdZdJEHNGhQjHcbv4YpiiMecc15r0OwQzTAuNNu5IyLH1czKEAWi5F0vZaezOn24d2TWHR5WXw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Far West City Council voted to approve the city’s 2025 business-license renewals with exceptions for a list of flagged businesses that councilmembers asked staff to investigate further.

Council discussion cataloged multiple businesses whose addresses, site-plan compliance, conditional-use permits or actual operations raised concerns. Items the council asked staff to follow up on included: TriStar/site-plan compliance; Far West Barber Shop (address discrepancy); Associated Foods (truck parking on a city road); Bella’s (bus storage concerns); RW Woodworks (residential address used for full-scale woodworking business); Far West Auto (noncompliance of rear yard operations); Mountain Land Supply Company (site-plan updates); Rocky Mountain Aluminum Art (temporary operations); Utah Structures (site-plan and temporary status resolution); Rocky Mountain Fence Company (site-plan/conditional-use compliance); J & G Automotive (operating without license); several multi-business registrations at residential addresses; and a Fisher Homestead Assisted Living project where construction was stopped.

Councilmember Boyd moved to approve the 25 business-license renewals with the exception of the businesses discussed at the meeting; the motion passed unanimously. Councilmembers instructed staff to compile a list of the licenses to be placed on hold so that staff could verify address, site-plan compliance and conditional-use status and pursue enforcement where businesses were operating without a license.

Councilmembers also discussed longer-running noncompliance cases and asked that code enforcement follow through with notice and escalated actions when voluntary compliance is not achieved.

The motion approved the bulk renewals while preserving the council’s option to withhold or revoke any license that is not in compliance.","Far West City Council approved a slate of 2025 business-license renewals but held a subset of licenses for compliance or address verification, and directed follow-up enforcement for businesses operating without proper licenses.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6673512,"Far West council rezones West Creek site to ICZ, approves development agreement with limits on standalone warehousing",1900,1760000,3660000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172463-30a6c9bd07ef3cbb2544e1b547aad5cd&start=1760&end=3660","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172463-30a6c9bd07ef3cbb2544e1b547aad5cd/thumbnail_1760000.jpg","/articles/6673512/Farr-West/Weber-County/Utah/Far-West-council-rezones-West-Creek-site-to-ICZ-approves-development-agreement-with-limits-on-standalone-warehousing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6673512-edda4853a980f0bf6bc7193c74c198b5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771173029&Signature=U1YuLZARXqYSSzOKQPNL6p0xbtp74K42BlZrPmTlnOVm4z1sa5qDdWIAV13Fv481Xf684IQzbsRjYzSedxUCoDQa~9VidKVQL4HqDzbOi07ASAJJP0nUrTQ79kn2TsDFkm8rHito8oxBM2E5qnZzNa32tCuGqwnPYolbWuo0sfSAZA7AKqWV-TPHkGO6l5DxbhYujaCK9F3puRxj-JyJTpHp1SatuUZXre2YNUzZrz~ozx7m~dCmfPjONFMQX1onDdEmUirNS~-QiayERCIZ4LR2QezbpEjim1UI8vzmlOqvCSvFWkQQyPuSARWrYlGZNrovmO5P2gEQSMapAdOP9g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Far West City Council voted 4–1 to rezone the West Creek Master Development to the Innovation Commercial Zone (ICZ) and later approved the West Creek Master Development Agreement with a modification limiting standalone wholesale and warehousing uses.

The rezoning vote came after discussion about the General Plan, traffic and potential building heights. Councilmembers debated compatibility with the city’s General Plan, concerns about traffic shifting onto Cottonwood Drive and the possibility of large warehouse buildings adjacent to residential properties. Opponents cited language in the General Plan that calls for restrictions on legal access and for protecting moderate-income housing strategies; supporters argued that the development agreement could mitigate traffic impacts and that development controls in the agreement and future site plans would limit negative effects.

The development agreement had been the subject of extended discussion at the meeting. Developers and staff clarified that the ICZ list of permitted uses is broad and that removing wholesale and warehousing outright could unintentionally exclude businesses that have warehousing as a component of broader operations. Council and staff negotiated language to preserve permitted uses in the ICZ while preventing any single structure from being used solely for wholesale or warehousing. The final development-agreement language adopted states that land uses must comply with the ICZ in chapter 17.31 of the Far West Code of Ordinances, except that wholesale and warehousing shall not be permitted as the sole or exclusive use of any individual structure; the agreement also requires a mix of at least three different uses across the development.

Council members also sought and received commitments that future site-level development proposals would return to the council for review and that traffic-calming measures on Cottonwood Drive are addressed in the agreement.

Votes at a glance: Rezoning to ICZ — passed 4–1. West Creek Master Development Agreement (with the warehouse/wholesale language inserted to prevent sole/exclusive use in any structure) — passed 4–1.

The council’s actions set the zoning and development framework for the property south of Forest City and east from Cottonwood Drive. The developer and staff confirmed that individual building permits and future site plans would be subject to further review and that the development agreement’s protections are intended to reduce the risk of large, nonretail warehouse districts immediately adjacent to residences.","The Far West City Council approved rezoning for the West Creek Master Development to the Innovation Commercial Zone and later approved a related development agreement that prevents wholesale/warehousing from being the sole use of any single structure; both votes were 4–1.","actionData","errors"]
