Weber County Unincorporated
City Zoning Code

For the purpose of this title, the Territory of Weber County to which this title applies is divided into classes of zones as follows:

¹Prior zone name references pertain to names of previously established zones that have since been consolidated into other zones in this Land Use Code. Any occurrence of a prior zone name in this Land Use Code or any other adopted governing document, or on the zoning map, shall be a reference to the currently established zone.

1. Zones mapped. Each zone and its boundaries are hereby established as described herein or as shown on the Weber County Zoning Map, which map is hosted on the official website of Weber County and is made by this reference as much a part of this title as if fully described and detailed herein.
2. Boundary uncertainty. Where uncertainty exists as to the boundary of any zone, the following rules shall apply. When such cases become known, the Planning Division Director may, but is not required to, authorize the clarification of the zoning map following these rules in a manner that provides better geographic certainty, and such clarification shall not be deemed a zoning map amendment.
   
   1. Wherever a zone's boundary is indicated as being approximately upon the centerline of a street, alley or block, or along a property line, then, unless otherwise definitely indicated on the map, the centerline of such street, alley or block or such property line, shall be construed to be the boundary of such zone.
      
   2. Whenever a zone's boundary is indicated as being approximately at the line of any river, irrigation canal or other waterway or railroad right-of-way, or public park or other public land or any section line, then in such case the center of such stream, canal or waterway, or of such railroad right-of-way or the boundary line of such public land or such section line shall be deemed to be the boundary of the zone.
      
   3. Whenever a zone’s boundary appears on historic maps to following the configuration of historic property lines established at the time, said historic property lines shall be deemed to be the boundary of the zone.
   4. Whenever a zone’s boundary has been described by legal description in an adopting ordinance, and such legal description is later found by a licensed surveyor to be invalid or in-correct, the corrected legal description shall be used as long as the Planning Division Director, after consultation with the county surveyor, can find that the corrected legal description fits the zone’s initially intended area.
   5. Where such zone boundary lines cannot be determined by the above rules, their location may be found by the use of the scale appearing upon the map.
3. Mapped zones not established herein. In some cases, a zone label on a map may reference a zone that no longer exists in this Land Use Code or has a name that has been changed. Each such zone has been consolidated by reference into a zone herein.
   

(Ord. of 1956, § 2-2; Ord. No. 2008-20; Ord. No. 2009-15; Ord. No. 2010-09)

The Land Use Table or list of permitted uses and conditional uses of each zone are plenary. As such, the following rules of interpretation apply:

1. A use that is not explicitly listed as a permitted or conditional use in the respective zone is not an allowed use in that zone.
2. The omission of a use from a zone's Land Use Table or a zone's list of permitted or conditional uses shall not be construed in any manner as an allowed use in the zone.
3. A use that is specifically listed in one zone's Land Use Table or the zone's list of permitted or conditional uses that is not specifically listed in another zone's Land Use Table or list of permitted or conditional uses is not permitted in the other zone.

Editors Note: Ord. No. 2022-06 consolidated the text that was in this section, which was named Section 104-1-3 Rules or Ordinance And Maps, into Section 104-1-2 Boundaries Of Zones, and changed this Section 104-1-3 to Rules of Interpretation.

(Ord. of 1956, § 2-4; Ord. No. 2008-20; Ord. No. 2009-15; Ord. No. 2010-09)

The more restrictive zone is the zone which has the larger area requirement.

1. Where a parcel that is split by a zone boundary contains at least two-thirds of the area required for a lot in the more restrictive zone, the area from the less restrictive zone can be used to meet the total area requirement for the more restrictive zone.
2. Where a parcel that is split by a zone boundary contains less than two-thirds of the area required for a lot in the more restrictive zone, the home must be built in the less restrictive zone. The parcel area in the more restrictive zone can be used to meet area requirements in the less restrictive zone.
