West Haven City Council approves Isom rezone application for new flag lot

West Haven City Council has taken a significant step towards facilitating residential development by approving a rezone application for a property located at 2817 South 2700 West. During the meeting on May 8, 2025, the council unanimously voted to rezone the parcel from a two-family residential (R-2) designation, allowing for the creation of a flag lot. This decision will enable the property owners, Caleb and Chassidy Isom, to separate a half-acre of their land for sale as a buildable lot.

The council's approval came after a thorough discussion regarding the qualifications for the flag lot, with assurances from city officials that the proposal meets all necessary criteria. The council expressed confidence in the rezone, although some concerns were raised about potential challenges related to the property’s topography and existing storm drainage systems.

In addition to the rezone approval, the council addressed a resolution concerning a memorandum of understanding with the Weber County School District. This agreement will facilitate the placement of a chicken container for storing emergency response equipment, enhancing the city’s preparedness for emergencies.

These decisions reflect the council's commitment to supporting residential growth and improving community safety through strategic partnerships. The approval of the rezone is expected to contribute positively to West Haven's housing market, while the emergency equipment storage initiative underscores the city's proactive approach to emergency management.
