General Background

Located in Weber County on Highway 89, South Ogden is part of the Ogden-Clearfield, Utah Metropolitan Area. South Ogden City is conveniently located near Hill Air Force Base and Weber State University, as well as many attractions including Eccels Dinosaur Park, Perry’s Egyptian Theater, and Historic Union Station.

Often referred to as the “City of Homes,” South Ogden City boasts a comfortable balance of residential areas and business districts. South Ogden is largely built out with only about five percent of its properties available for new growth. With such a small percentage of developable land, land use issues will continue to focus more upon redevelopment. South Ogden City still has sizable parcels available for commercial, office, and residential development. Current development is primarily occurring in the southern end of the community, a commercial district highlighted by shopping centers, strip malls, and office complexes.

South Ogden City has a population of 16,500. The City has 6,747 housing units, 67 percent of which were built prior to 1980. While South Ogden City is committed to maintaining the current housing stock the City has provided for a diversity of housing types with zoning ordinances that allow for cluster housing and planned unit developments in every zone.
