The Pleasant View City Council on Oct. 14 unanimously approved a general plan amendment and a companion rezoning for about 8.12 acres at 3917 North Capstone Way (near 3800 North/Highway 89), changing the propertyfrom a high-density residential designation (RE5) to a Manufacturing Commercial Mix (MCM) designation.

The two actions — Ordinance 2025-22 (general plan amendment) and Ordinance 2025-23 (rezoning) — passed by roll call vote with all five council members voting yes. Planning staff told the council the Planning Commission recommended approval of both items.

Why it matters: The property was rezoned earlier this year to a zone intended for townhomes but a developer later pursued single-family homes and encountered setback conflicts with the RE5 standards. Planning staff said the developer pulled out and the owner has now applied to return the site to a commercial/business-park designation and the MCM zone. Council members discussed the siteand noted the railroad crossing alignment remains an outstanding issue that could affect final lot layout.

Planning staff described the recent history and the current application. Tammy, planning staff, said, "We have received a recommendation of approval for both of those items from Planning Commission." She also told council members the developer is holding off on a final layout until the location of the railroad crossing is resolved.

Council discussion was limited. One council member said it "makes sense" for the area to be commercial given existing conditions; another said the railroad crossing remains a material constraint for final design. No public commenters spoke during the public hearing.

Votes at a glance:
- Ordinance 2025-22, General Plan Amendment for approximately 8.12 acres at 3917 N. Capstone Way (Weber County parcels 19-015-0078 and 19-403-0006): Motion by Nelson, second by Gibson. Roll call vote: Arrington Yes; Gibson Yes; Marriott Yes; Nelson Yes; Yuri Yes. Outcome: approved (5-0).
- Ordinance 2025-23, Rezoning of the same 8.12 acres from RE5 (high-density residential) to MCM (Manufacturing Commercial Mix): Motion by Gibson, second by Nelson. Roll call vote: Arrington Yes; Gibson Yes; Marriott Yes; Nelson Yes; Yuri Yes. Outcome: approved (5-0).

Next steps and context: With the council approvals, the propertydesignation and zoning will reflect commercial/business-park uses rather than the RE5 residential standards previously applied. Planning staff indicated the developer and property owner will await resolution of the railroad crossing alignment before finalizing subdivision layout and setbacks. The Planning Commission had recommended approval prior to the council vote.
