EXHIBIT A 1 LYNN COMMUNITY BACKGROUND The Lynn Community Plan was prepared in response to neighbors who were concerned about a particular commercial use next to a single-family subdivision. Rather than evaluate only the adjacent zoning, a plan for the Lynn Community was developed. The Lynn Community has a history of strong neighborhood involvement in zoning issues. The community boundaries are the Business Depot Ogden to the west, Washington Boulevard to the east, North Street and the City limits to the north, and 12th Street to the south. The Lynn Community is home to the oldest neighborhood in Weber County, dating back to the 1850's. A majority of the existing historic pioneer homes are near 2nd Street and Wall Avenue, which was part of a settlement named Bingham's Fort. The Shoshone Tribe also lived in this area and would camp along the many creeks and natural springs. The Fort's walls were constructed, but the gates were never installed or used because of the good relationship that was developed between the two groups. This community has a strong history of mixing cultures and taking the good that each has to offer and nurturing relationships even when there are differences. Population Characteristics The population of the Lynn Community is younger than the rest of the city. Its under-five population is larger as a percentage than the city as a whole. It also has a smaller number of its residents which are older than 65. The racial characteristics of the community closely resemble those of the rest of the city, except a smaller percentage of its population is black. The community also has a smaller percentage of its residents with some college education than the entire City.

Some of these areas are still used for local farming. Single family residential is the main land use in the Lynn Community. Because there are three arterial streets in the community (Washington, Wall and 12th Street), there is a significant amount of commercial uses along these arterial streets.

Nearly 25% of the community is zoned for commercial uses. Again, the high percentage of commercial zoning can be attributed to the arterial streets which run through the community. The residential zoning is predominantly R-1-6 which allows single family homes.

The single largest type is single-family homes. The smallest category of housing type is condominiums. The community has the largest number of mobile homes of any of the planning communities. Almost 28% of the total housing stock is multi-family. The older houses in the community are between Washington and Wall. ---PAGE BREAK--- EXHIBIT A 3 The newer dwelling units are located west of Wall Avenue. The oldest homes and farms in the community date back to the 1850’s and 1860’s, which are found along 2nd street.

Irregular configuration of mobile home parks Zoning 2. The commercial and manufacturing uses on the arterial and major roads impact adjacent neighborhoods. 3. Multiple unit complexes that are built mid-block on a street, separate groupings of homes, e.g., pressure to zone vacant lots to multi-density on Harrisville Road. 4. The lack of height restrictions in the R- 3 and R-4 zones where new apartments are being built in the center of blocks infilling) among single family developments. 5. Ideal Trailer Court is in a commercial zone which abuts a residential zone. It is possible this development could transition to commercial uses. The Community Policies state commercial zones abutting residential zones should be “planned zones e.g., C-3 to CP-3. 6. The significant percentage of land in the area which is zoned commercial and manufacturing e.g., 24% of the total land area in the Lynn Community and the degree of land 20% commercial and 52% manufacturing) still vacant rather than developed. 7. The previous practice of allowing intrusion of commercial and multi-density developments onto single lots of existing subdivisions which creates problems for the neighborhood. 8. The single lot developments of commercial and manufacturing. Concern for commercial uses trailing down the street lot by lot. 9. There appears to be a discrepancy between C-1, C-2 and C-3 and CP zones. Is it time to amend the commercial zones to allow only CP and add standards to the Zoning Ordinance to treat all commercial zones similarly? 10. Design standards need to be added to the M-1 zones to protect adjacent neighborhoods and provide a more aesthetic look to Wall Avenue. 11. Should the Zoning Ordinance be amended to allow horses and other animals in residential zones? Liquor Uses 12. Liquor uses in commercial zones adjacent to neighborhoods are a problem. Parks 13. The impact on adjacent neighborhood from the 4th Street Park softball complex lights and public address system. Transportation 14. Projected traffic volumes for 2005 indicate segments of Washington Boulevard, Wall and 12th Street will exceed capacity. 15. The degree of truck traffic within the Lynn Community: a. A distinction must be made between through traffic on arterials and delivery trucks servicing businesses in the area; ---PAGE BREAK--- EXHIBIT A 4 b. The City Ordinances require fuel trucks to stay off certain roads, should this be extended to other kinds of trucks and types of roads? Utilities 16. Four street intersections do not meet the City’s Street Lighting Plan. 17. The cost of installing water and sanitary sewer lines in the northwest portion of the Lynn Community may constrain future development. 18. Flooding at the intersection of Washington Boulevard and 2nd Street. Connecting the Harrisville Road storm sewer with the 7th Street storm sewer to alleviate the present situation will be a multi-million dollar project. Extension of the Harrisville line has yet to be scheduled in the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan. Natural Features 19. Development within the 100 year flood plain should comply with the City’s Flood Plain Ordinance. 20. Flood damage to developments within the high water table area is possible. Historic Preservation 21. Development pressures around 2nd Street west of Wall Avenue continue to impact the preservation of the unique history of the area. 22. The historic pioneer structures found throughout the Lynn Community, especially along 2nd Street, should be preserved as a legacy. Many of the homes have been listed on the local historic register but several have not. Efforts should be made to place as many historic structures on the registry as possible. 23. The historically significant lands should be memorialized by voluntary conservation easements and land use regulations aimed at harmonizing new development with the historic. Areas where significant events occurred should be memorialized for future generations to learn from and enjoy. 24. The future park proposed west of Wall Avenue may be an opportunity to preserve culturally significant lands where residents can learn about the events that took place in this area. ---PAGE BREAK--- EXHIBIT A 5 LYNN COMMUNITY PLAN 1.

Endorse the idea of a neighborhood park west of Wall Avenue, the placement of which is not known, preferably centrally located in the neighborhood. The owner of land in the center of the block north of 2nd Street between Wall Avenue and Lynne School Lane has expressed interest in creating a park on this site. ---PAGE BREAK--- EXHIBIT A 6 d. Consider zoning options of the four corners at 2nd and Wall based on the following: 1. The vacant southeast and northwest corners be rezoned and developed prior to consideration of the other corners which have uses on them, unless such consideration of the other corners is for R-3 zoning. 2. Any zoning consideration will be Conditional Overlay zoning with a development agreement to ensure design and use compatibility with the character of the area. Compatibility considerations shall include, but not be limited to, single story buildings, pitched roofs, and brick or atlas brick as the primary exterior material. Without limitation on other possible use restrictions, in no event shall convenience stores and service stations be an allowed use. 3. Zoning options will only be considered on the northeast corner, southeast corner and southwest corner if the individual parcels on the respective corners are combined. Combining properties shall not extend beyond the limit of the corners as defined by the map. 4. Zoning option considerations are: Northeast corner – R-3/CO Northwest corner – R-3/CO, PI/CO or C-1/CO Southwest corner – R-3/CO Southeast corner- R-3/CO or C-1/CO Ord 2005-36 adopted 6/7/2005 e.

Zoning option be considered for senior housing use only; 2. Proper edges be maintained and created where needed to protect the residences; and 3. Development shall include design standards to integrate the development to the existing residential neighborhood. Ord #2012-29 adopted 5/22/12 i. When considering zone changes in the area north and south of 2nd Street west of Childs Avenue, the planning commission and city council should review the history of the site and area. The commission and council should consider measures to preserve historic structures or features or memorialize culturally significant sites in harmony with future development. j. Historic preservation should be promoted in this community. k. Consider creating a historic district or neighborhood conservation district along 2nd Street. l. Historic structures that are considered contributing should be placed on the Ogden City Register of Historic ---PAGE BREAK--- EXHIBIT A 7 Resources and preserved into the future. m. Land where important historic events occurred should be memorialized. n. Monuments and markers should be used to identify the area’s history to inform the public of the historic events that occurred in the first neighborhood in Weber County and the charitable association between the early settlers and the Shoshone Tribe. o. Existing small farming operations along 2nd Street and 7th Street should be allowed to operate as their historic use. 4. PLAN MAP - - see attached 5. DIRECTIONS TO THE STAFF a. The Engineering Staff should complete and record the alignment of both Century Drive between North and 12th Streets and Grant Avenue between 2nd and 4th Streets. b. The Planning Staff should study the possibility of creating a zoning ordinance exclusively for mobile home subdivisions. c. Review commercial zones to eliminate C zones in preference to CP zones; add standards for review to the Zoning Ordinance in order to eliminate the need to have Planning Commission review of all CP applications, except on appeal. d. Add design standards to the M-1 zones. e. Plant trees along the edge of 4th Street Park on 4th Street and Wall Avenue rights-of-way. Also prepare parking options on 4th Street to minimize impact to adjacent residential uses. f. Prepare options regarding horse and other animals for possible Zoning Ordinance amendments. Such options should look at animals for residential use only (not business), space requirements and design standards. g. Contact Utah Power & Light to add missing streetlights at the five locations identified in order to meet the Ogden Street Lighting Plan. h. Request the Utah Department of Transportation to do a speed study on Wall Avenue between North and 12th Streets. i. Work with UDOT to assure a stop light is added at the intersection of Wall Avenue and 7th Street. Zoning Changes adopted by the Ogden City Council on December 4, 1986.
