In most cases, if the tree is in poor condition or dead, a City crew will be responsible for the removal. In some cases however a permit for removal may be issued to a resident, but in all cases, the Urban Forester must first assess the tree to determine the best course of action. To schedule a visit with the Urban Forester, please call Parks at 801-629-8284. Find more information by viewing the

No, “Topping” is an antiquated method of reducing the overall height of a tree through poor arboricultural practice. It is prohibited for use on City Trees. If you are thinking of “Topping” a tree within your property, please reconsider and use an accepted method of pruning. The best course of action begins with contacting a qualified professional.
If the tree is located on City Right of Way, please call The City’s Urban Forester at 801-629-8284. If the tree is located on your private property, you might begin with contacting a Certified Arborist. Find a list of qualified individuals and companies that do work throughout the state on the

All trees will need some supplemental water to survive, especially during the establishment period. There are numerous varieties approved for planting along City streets that are drought tolerant and well suited for Utah’s harsh climate. Review the Ogden Tree Selection Guide, the Ogden City Tree Matrix or contact the Urban Forester at 801-629-8284 for ideas and suggestions for drought tolerant species.
-
There are many tree varieties that vary in size, color and shape approved for planting in your park strip. The best choice for you will depend on the planting space available, whether overhead utility is present, and your particular location within the City. The Ogden City Tree Selection Guide is a great reference to get you started.Forestry
Because you will need a permit to plant, please contact Public Works at 801-629-8271 after you have reviewed options in the Selection Guide and the Ogden City Tree Matrix.
Information you will need for the permit is: park strip width (distance between curb and sidewalk) and overall length, the presence of overhead utility lines in the vicinity of the proposed planting area, location of drive and sidewalk approaches and locations and types of any signs within the park strip area. -
Forestry
There are many reasons a tree may decline. Park strips are tough environments to survive in. Water and available rooting space are likely limiting factors to their growth. A good place to start is in checking to see if the tree is receiving adequate water. Larger trees certainly need more water than small trees and all trees will require more water when temperatures are high.

One of the highest duties of citizenship, jury duty accrues from the constitutional right to be tried by a panel of one's peers and involves direct participation in the administration of justice. As such, only a judge can excuse you from jury duty. Your employer must allow you time off to serve on a jury.Justice Court - Jury Duty
Judges can excuse you for public necessity, extreme inconvenience or if you are incapable of jury service. Clerks can sometimes, but not always, accommodate your needs when scheduling you to serve on a jury.

Property lines are determined by subdivision of land into lots or parcels. Legal descriptions define the location of the property on the ground. When a new subdivision is created, it will have metal bars with a cap (called a hub) that identifies the corners of lots. The surveyor hired by the developer of the subdivision establishes these physical points. Older subdivisions may no longer have markers at the lot corners. If there is a dispute between property owners, the only correct way to find the property line locations is by hiring a private surveyor to mark those corners.Engineering - General

Parking and Transportation
21-
Parking and Transportation
- During peak parking, about mid-day, the parking occupancy for all Downtown parking is about 50% currently. However, there are some facilities or blocks where parking reaches or exceeds the effective capacity threshold (more than 85% – which negatively impacts accessibility), and some businesses have complained that their business is being harmed by congested parking.
- The City's positive upcoming Make Ogden developments, which will dramatically add residences/businesses/employees and enhance our overall economic vitality, will overwhelm existing parking capacity.
-
Parking and Transportation
Based on the experiences from communities that have implemented managed paid parking systems, impacted businesses have benefitted in a number of ways, including:
- More reliably available parking for customers – due to higher turnover in the most convenient and high-demand parking spots.
- More vibrant, attractive downtown shopping area for customers – due to increased walkability/bike-ability.
- More attractive downtown for additional investment in residential and commercial development – creating more businesses, jobs, residences downtown – and therefore more potential customers during both the daytime and evenings.
- Additional residences downtown also tend to support lower levels of crime in adjacent business areas.
-
Parking and Transportation
While current downtown parking capacity is generally adequate in some areas, there are some blocks and lots where parking is extremely congested and discourages some visitors/shoppers. The redevelopment initiatives associated with the Make Ogden plan will:
- Reduce existing surface parking,
- Increase business and residential activities,
- Increase the existing problem of limited prime retail spaces on 25th Street, and
- Increase the overall parking demand and need for related new parking structures.
Therefore, the City is developing a parking management strategy that will support planned development downtown and enhance transportation access for visitors, residents and businesses.
-
Parking and Transportation
The City's Community and Economic Development department hired a professional third-party municipal engineering firm (Kimley-Horn and Associates) to assess our parking situation and to recommend parking management options. The firm developed a parking study and report that included:
- Program assumptions, challenges and priorities
- What's worked in other communities
- Future demand estimates related to planned developments as outlined in the Make Ogden Plan
- Preliminary financial estimates
For more information, review the Ogden Parking Study Report.
-
Parking and Transportation
The parking study prepared by third-party municipal transportation firm recommended that Ogden City should seriously consider implementing a paid parking management system to address current and future parking challenges downtown.
A brief explanation regarding the need for a managed paid parking system is at Why Paid Parking?
-
Parking and Transportation
- Paid parking is critical to the health and vibrancy of a developing downtown as such allows for the equitable and efficient management of the limited parking resource.
- To avoid the need to increase property taxes for all residences/businesses to fund the required investment in existing and new public parking infrastructure (some of which do not even have/use automobiles for transportation), a pay parking system will generate the revenue to build and support parking improvements via parking fees paid by just those using the parking – including many visitors to our downtown from other communities.
- By charging for parking, cities can help create turn-over within the most convenient and desirable public parking supplies -- generally on-street spaces -- while adding and managing off-street resources appropriately.
- Reduction in traffic congestion and increase in overall attractiveness to visitors.
- Pay parking systems are more efficient than free parking --
- Allows for higher development density
- Provides for more diversity of land uses
- Provides more walkable, bike-able and vibrant city center
- With the new technologies available for payment, wayfinding signage and reservations, pay parking is easier to use and less stressful for downtown visitors -- and cash payments can still be an option.
- Paid parking is critical to the health and vibrancy of a developing downtown as such allows for the equitable and efficient management of the limited parking resource.
-
Parking and Transportation
In most communities, some businesses initially felt that pay parking would be inconvenient, discourage potential customers and employees, and reduce competitiveness with suburban retail offing free parking (malls, etc.).
HOWEVER:
- Of the most economically vibrant downtowns, almost all support pay/managed public parking as a way of enhancing business.
- Pay parking is almost universal in major cities (Salt Lake, Denver, Phoenix).
- Pay parking is also frequently found in small cities and tourist-friendly destinations (Park City, Grand Junction, Fort Collins, Estes Park, Manitou Springs, Rapid City, Flagstaff).
-
Parking and Transportation
Recommended public parking rates are reflected in the following chart (proposal draft):
Up to 1 Hour $1.50 - $2.00 street
$1.00 - $1.50 lot
Typically enforced 9:00 am-6:00 pm w/optional enforcement until 10:00 pm in high evening use areas; daily max for overnight parking.Each Additional Hour $1.50 -$2.00 street
$1.00 - $1.50 lotDaily Max $8.00 - $10.00 Special Event Rate $5.00-10.00 + Depending on demand. Parking Wallet $4.00 - $6.00 Per day (prepaid digital wallet) Monthly $60.00 - $100.00 With discounts for lower utilized facilities. -
Parking and Transportation
- Contingent on City Council approval, the City's plan is to start pro-actively managing existing parking supplies and adding new parking facilities.
- Implementing a paid parking system is required as one of the first steps to allow for the catalytic redevelopment of Ogden's downtown core -- as the Make Ogden Plan proposes.
-
Parking and Transportation
Based on the parking study recommendations, once approved by the City Council, the City will move forward with phases of implementation of the downtown pay parking within the proposed parking management area.
- One key to success is a consistent parking management system across the area.
- The first phase of implementation will be in the most challenging parking areas in years 1-2, and then expanding the system over the following 4-6 years.
The Downtown Ogden Parking Management System Phasing Map reflects the proposed parking management area, and highlights that expected phases of implementation for the paid parking management system.
-
Parking and Transportation
- New public parking structures (2) located at the WonderBlock site and paid parking system updates throughout downtown represent an approximate $54,500,000 investment.
- All public parking elements will be built/owned/operated by the Ogden City Municipal Building Authority (MBA).
- The City MBA’s investment contribution will not require an increase in property or sales taxes, as related debt service will be satisfied via revenue generated from the paid parking management system.
-
Parking and Transportation
- Yes. Conservative parking revenue projections indicate the capacity to fund operating expenses and also service the annual bond payments used to build the parking structures and set-up the system equipment.
- The parking system will not require an increase in property or sales taxes.
-
Parking and Transportation
- It is expected that the system will utilize a multi-space parking meter/kiosk and an enforcement system supported by “pay-by-license-plate” methodology, along with options to pay by app or text-to-pay.
- A similar parking system is currently used at the Ogden Airport which interfaces with the city’s Information Technology and Management Services departments.
- Implementation plans include an introductory free period to allow for everyone to get used to the system.
-
Parking and Transportation
- Yes. Examples being considered include:
- For the first 3-4 months after paid parking equipment is installed in any area, parking will be no-charge if the parking app or kiosk is used.
- A grace period is being considered for businesses with existing free parking permits for employees.
- Lower parking rates or validations are being considered for the first several months.
- Contracted parking spaces related to leased spaces will be honored according to the lease terms.
- Yes. Examples being considered include:
-
Parking and Transportation
- The parking study methodology incorporated the American Communities Survey data to approximate existing usage of transit and other alternatives by downtown employees/visitors.
- The parking study assumes some moderate increase in transit usage as density is added to the downtown. However, parking projections are not reduced, but instead, only project moderate
growth in demand (1% phase 2, 3% phase 3), even though parking needs will increase more dramatically based on planned development.
-
Parking and Transportation
- Free parking really isn’t free. It’s paid for by all of us, through our tax dollars.
- This subsidy to those who can afford to own a car is of course not only fronted by car owners (disproportionately middle- and upper-class citizens), those with lower income who can’t even afford cars are also making parking spots possible through the taxes they pay.
- Although the cost of “free” parking is paid for by city residents, visitors are a large user of the resource. A paid system will include contributions from all users – including users from other communities.
- When parking turnover is incentivized through payment by the minute, there’s more parking spots for everyone when they need one.
-
Parking and Transportation
- As experienced in other communities, there will be a natural tendency for parkers to migrate to nearby residential areas – which will require additional parking restriction signage and enforcement. Successful models from other communities are available for our implementation.
- Residential properties downtown or nearby without off-street parking will be provided a permanent parking permit.
-
Parking and Transportation
- Yes. Special parking for individuals with disabilities is planned throughout the city and they may receive special considerations for posted and meter parking.
- Accessible on-street residential parking may be signed/provided to qualified disabled city residents within close proximity to their residences, on a case-by-case basis.
- Disabled individuals who apply for an accessible on-street residential parking sign will need to meet certain conditions to qualify, including:
- Must live on a residential street and live at the location for which the sign is being requested.
- Must have either a current disabled Utah license plate or a disabled placard issued by UDMV.
Cannot have a driveway or access to off-street parking.
-
Parking and Transportation
The recommended parking organization is a hybrid approach, with a vertically integrated city department model, combined with a professional services out-sourced management model.
-
Parking and Transportation
Yes. Based on recent meetings with individual businesses and stakeholder groups, comments/suggestions on how to best implement a parking management system are continually being gathered/considered.
- “Implement higher rates in high-demand areas and lower rates in less used areas.”
- “The first 15-minutes should be free to accommodate quick stops.”
- “Parking is a problem downtown and we need better paths to off-street parking.”
- “Shorter parking time limits should be implemented on the busiest streets.”
- “We should have reserved spots for customer take-out/pick-ups.”
- “The current parking situation hurts my business as non-customers, like nearby employees, take up all the spaces in front of my store and stay too long.”
- “Increased enforcement is needed to reduce parking too long in retail areas.”
- “Require employees to park in more remote lots and maybe provide a shuttle.”
- “Only charging $1.00 an hour on 25th Street undervalues what our unique downtown offers.”
- “The planned nearby new parking garages will help reduce the current mess of parking on my street and make stopping at my business more attractive.”
- “Offer virtual parking permits for employees, residences, shoppers.”
- “Designate a portion of parking fees to downtown improvements.”
- “Convenient parking spaces have a value – people will pay for those spots if they are conveniently available.”
- “An organized parking system would provide confidence to visitors that they can easily find a spot – which would improve business.”
- “The paid parking system should accommodate customer parking validation.”

WonderBlock
- The name WonderBlock is rooted in Ogden’s past – it’s connected to the city’s historic 25th Street and gets its name from the Wonder Bread factory that was downtown for decades, located at the now vacant lot planned for the new development. It’s also a catalytic project that will boldly lead the way for the thriving downtown Ogden of tomorrow.
- The city’s rich and colorful past has set the stage for WonderBlock, and now WonderBlock will help to set the stage for the city’s rich and colorful future.
- The WonderBlock name speaks to the spirit of Ogden’s past – and the start of Ogden’s future!
-
WonderBlock
- At a high-level, WonderBlock will provide homes, offices, stores (including a grocery store) and unique public spaces. But that’s not all that will be built. WonderBlock will also be a place where ideas and people come together. Where the heart of Ogden’s past meets the best of Ogden’s future. WonderBlock will help to continue building and strengthening Ogden!
- WonderBlock will be a highly visible new development in the heart of downtown -- meaning it must represent the best that our community can offer!
- Specific elements of WonderBlockinclude:
- 354 residential units featuring high-quality amenities and walkable access to Ogden’s Arts, Culture, and Events.
- Additional residences downtown also tend to support lower level of crime in adjacent business areas.
- 100,000 square feet of Class “A” commercial office space
- 50,000 square feet of street-level retail store space
- 20,000 square foot grocery store
- Boutique Hotel
- Pedestrian pathways and public outdoor amenity spaces
- Convenient covered parking structures
- 354 residential units featuring high-quality amenities and walkable access to Ogden’s Arts, Culture, and Events.
-
WonderBlock
- In order to ensure that the important former Wonder Bread factory property in the heart of downtown (along 26th Street between Grant and Lincoln Avenues) was redeveloped in a way that would enhance and benefit downtown Ogden, the site was purchased by the City Redevelopment Agency (RDA) in December 2016 and the old building was demolished and the site cleaned up during 2017-19.
- As an owner of the property, the City RDA planned to deliver the property to a developer willing to invest in the site in order to achieve its highest and best use to benefit the community.
-
WonderBlock
- After several years of planning, including extensive public input, Ogden City’s Make Ogden Downtown Master Plan was adopted in 2020 – establishing a 25-year vision to guide growth and development of downtown Ogden. The primary purposes of the Make Ogden Downtown Master Plan are to increase the City’s capacity to build sustainable economic vitality going forward, and to enhance the attractiveness of downtown by increasing the number of jobs, housing options, pedestrian activity, public transportation, one-of-a-kind stores/restaurants/venues, and the overall downtown experience – all powerful economic factors that will improve the lives of residents and bolster the City’s financial health and prosperity.
- The six tenets of the Make OgdenDowntown Master Plan include:
- Real Estate and Land Use
- Historic and Cultural Assets
- Transportation and Mobility
- Parks and Open Space
- Social Equity
- Essential Services
- These tenets will be addressed through an orchestrated effort to promote the infill of the downtown core, attract employment, improve access to social services and amenities, coordinate public transit and open space systems, and provide variety and equity in housing opportunity.
- The WonderBlock development was planned to help achieve the Make Ogden objectives. The unique development proposes a mixed-use, lifestyle centric, experience led project in the heart of downtown Ogden, connecting directly to Historic 25th Street. The project will be a combination of residential dwellings, retail, office services, food and beverage, as well as hospitality.
- All of the project elements will be connected via attractive public spaces that will support special events – creating a unique sense of place that will draw people throughout the region to our awesome downtown.

- Based on the Make Ogden Downtown Master Plan that envisioned a significant high-quality mixed-use development at the site – providing new residencies, retail, office, grocery and hospitality – the City Redevelopment Agency (RDA) was contacted by several potential private developers that were interested in the site.
- Initial proposals fell short of meeting the type of development envisioned at such a high level.
- Private development investment alone was not sufficient to achieve the vision and maximum impact of the site.
- Therefore, the RDA decided to negotiate with a private developer that was willing to partner in a joint venture with the City RDA in order to accomplish all of the objectives – maximizing the potential of the highly visible site adjacent to the historic downtown district, including:
- Reducing existing surface parking (not the highest/best use of downtown property),
- Increasing business, job and residential activities in the downtown core – all benefitting existing businesses,
- Increasing effective parking infrastructure that also serves adjacent areas,
- Complimenting the existing historical and cultural assets – and the overall attractiveness of downtown Ogden as the place to live, work and visit.
-
WonderBlock
- As authorized by Utah State Code 17-C, and by the Ogden City Redevelopment Policy, the city RDA has the option to perform potential developer engagement utilizing one of three different processes:
- Public Solicitation
- Direct Negotiation
- Unsolicited Proposals
- For WonderBlock, the RDA considered concepts from several potential developers and decided to “directly negotiate” a potential project with a developer that offered the highest level of competency and ability to deliver according to the RDA’s vision/objectives for the site – J. Fisher Companies.
- As authorized by Utah State Code 17-C, and by the Ogden City Redevelopment Policy, the city RDA has the option to perform potential developer engagement utilizing one of three different processes:
-
WonderBlock
- At some point in the near or far future, the land might be transferred to a developer, and based on current market trends, a lower-end apartment complex with surface parking lots (or similar) would likely be the outcome.
- Such a development would fall way short of the enhanced market value and attractive asset envisioned as the catalytic project known as WonderBlock. Therefore, an alternative project to WonderBlock, without City engagement, would likely NOT include:
- Retail or commercial space – including a grocery store – and the associated jobs.
- Multi-level parking infrastructures to maximize land use and support adjacent judicial courts and downtown retail.
- Enhanced “back-of-house” access for south-side 25th Street businesses (200 block).
- Public outdoor amenities to enhance the attractiveness of downtown Ogden and facilitate special events.
- Higher property values as the new/higher standard for downtown land values in order to drive sustainable economic vitality for the community.
-
WonderBlock
- The WonderBlock development would be a private/public partnership between the developer, J. Fisher Companies, and Ogden City Redevelopment Agency (RDA).
- J. Fisher Companies and the City RDA will own the WonderBlock development, and J. Fisher Companies will operate the associated residential, retail, commercial, grocery and hospitality spaces.
- If the WonderBlock development is sold in the future, the City RDA will receive an agreed upon portion of the sale proceeds that can be used to satisfy some/all of the outstanding initial investment, as determined by the project’s performance.
- The parking structures located at WonderBlock will be owned and operated by the Ogden City Municipal Building Authority (MBA).
-
WonderBlock
- The WonderBlock development residential/retail/commercial/grocery/hospitality elements represent a $188,000,000 total investment.
- The proposed project would be a joint venture between a developer (J. Fisher Companies) and the city RDA.
- Therefore, both parties are investing in the project according to the following table.
- The RDA’s investment contribution will not require an increase in property or sales taxes.

-
WonderBlock
- No – property taxes for property owners will not increase due to the City Redevelopment Agency’s investment into the WonderBlock development.
- The bonds associated with the City RDA’s investment in the residential/retail/commercial/hospitality elements of WonderBlock will be paid via the increase in taxable value of the WonderBlock development (Tax Increment Financing or TIF), along with some funds from lease revenues from the City’s previous development investment at Business Depot Ogden (BDO).
- The revenue bonds associated with the City Municipal Building Authority’s investment in the new parking structures located at WonderBlock and parking management system downtown, will be paid via the revenue generated from the paid parking system.
-
WonderBlock
- The high-quality residential apartments at WonderBlock will be just south of Historic 25th Street and unique downtown, one of Ogden’s most interesting and culturally rich areas. One minute you could be biking along the river, and the next minute be meeting friends under the neon dragon on 25th Street. Connected to the heart of the city, WonderBlock is a place where mountain and urban living become one.
-
WonderBlock
- Ogden’s colorful history has shaped our vibrant community and downtown arts and entertainment district, and it has always been known for its access to nearby outdoor assets. WonderBlock will add even more options and further support Ogden’s offerings as the place with the best dining, shopping, and entertainment. And where there’s always something new to explore
-
WonderBlock
- Historic 25th Street has long been the center of the city’s downtown experience. And now, there is an opportunity for retailers to become part of Ogden’s next chapter and expand the treasured center of influence in Ogden – and for existing retailers to benefit from the exposure to more visitors, as well as new employees/residents. Here, visitors will experience authentic downtown Ogden while also being surprised by a host of places to shop, dine, and explore – making downtown Ogden even more attractive as a top destination for visitors. “Make Ogden” is gaining more and more momentum, and WonderBlock is right at the forefront!
-
WonderBlock
- WonderBlock is a mixed-use project, not just one product type (like a shopping mall). The mix of uses (residential, retail, office, hospitality) helps to ensure its long-term success and useful life.
- Additionally, the project will add 354 new housing units, helping to respond to the housing shortage in Ogden and across the Wasatch Front. The region’s housing demand is forecast to remain strong, in spite of potential future economic changes.
-
WonderBlock
- During peak parking, about mid-day, the parking occupancy for all Downtown parking is about 50% currently. However, there are some facilities or blocks where parking reaches or exceeds the effective capacity threshold (more than 85% -- which negatively impacts accessibility, and some businesses believe the congested parking is hurting their business).
- The City's positive upcoming Make Ogden developments – including the WonderBlock development, will dramatically add residences/businesses/employees and enhance our overall economic vitality, and will also overwhelm existing parking capacity.
- The redevelopment initiatives associated with the Make Ogden Plan will:
- Reduce existing surface parking,
- Increase business and residential activities,
- Increase the existing problem of limited prime retail spaces on 25th Street, and
- Increase the overall parking demand and need for related new parking structures.
Therefore, the city is developing a parking management strategy that will support planned development downtown and enhance transportation access for visitors, residents and businesses.
- Additional parking structures and investments to improve existing parking facilities are indeed planned as part of the WonderBlock development and in support of other downtown developments. Supportive parking structures as recommended in the recent parking study completed by the city, with easy access to pedestrians and residential/commercial/retail areas, are significant investments in the future development of downtown Ogden.
- Structured parking will support a greater density and quality of development throughout downtown, replacing many of the current surface parking lots that consume a significant amount of property with better utilized space that benefits the whole community.

Make Ogden
- After several years of planning, including extensive public input, Ogden City’s Make Ogden Downtown Master Plan was adopted in 2020 – establishing a 25-year vision to guide growth and development of downtown Ogden.
- The primary purposes of the Make Ogden Downtown Master Plan are to increase the City’s capacity to build sustainable economic vitality going forward, and to enhance the attractiveness of downtown by increasing the number of jobs, housing options, pedestrian activity, public transportation, one-of-a-kind stores/restaurants/venues, and the overall downtown experience – all powerful economic factors that will improve the lives of residents and bolster the City’s financial health and prosperity for generations to come.
- The six tenets of the Make OgdenDowntown Master Plan include:
- Real Estate and Land Use
- Historic and Cultural Assets
- Transportation and Mobility
- Parks and Open Space
- Social Equity
- Essential Services
These tenets (all critical for the success of downtown Ogden and focused on simultaneously) will be addressed through an orchestrated effort to promote the infill of the downtown core, preserve and enhance historic assets, attract employment, improve access to social services and amenities, coordinate public transit and open space systems, and provide variety and equity in housing opportunity.
- Currently, Ogden City Community and Economic Development is moving forward with several projects related to “Episode 1” of Make Ogden, including the WonderBlock Development, plans for an enhanced Union Station and surrounding campus, and a Downtown Parking Management System.
- Regular community events are currently ongoing to update the public on the status of the development activities associated with Make Ogden, and to solicit ideas that might improve implementation.
-
Make Ogden
- Ogden City is experiencing a surge of collaboration, innovation, and increased economic opportunity in the aerospace and national security industry. This boom is bringing more growth in workforce partnerships, thirsty for connection and collaboration – which benefits the overall economic sustainability of the entire community.
- Ogden City Community and Economic Development has been working on “placemaking” improvements, as outlined in Make Ogden, intended to cultivate a quality place where businesses and talent want to work and live.
- Ogden’s vibrant downtown, with our unique historical and cultural assets, is an ideal location for the defense tech sector, and is already home to SkiCAMP, a United States Air Force software development factory, Catalyst Campus, and others.
- Such companies and organizations are attracted to our restored historical spaces, and some are seeking new spaces configured for their needs that are close to all the unique amenities offered by downtown Ogden.
- Along with Ogden’s proximity to Hill Air Force Base, Ogden is a prime location for current and future growth in the national security innovation industry. The enhancements described in the Make Ogden downtown master plan will further increase our attractiveness for additional growth in this important business sector – as well as a diversity of many other industries.
- Such growth can provide opportunities for existing Ogden businesses and high-quality jobs for residents.
-
Make Ogden
- As with all cities, the costs associated with providing normal city services continue to rise.
- The primary source of revenue to pay for city operating costs is property taxes, along with sales taxes to a lesser degree.
- Unless the city actively works to encourage investment and development of underutilized properties in the areas with the highest potential (like downtown), then existing taxpayers will have the full burden of the increasing costs.
- However, as new development is planned, facilitated and encouraged – such as the development projects proposed in Make Ogden – the tax burden can be spread over a larger population and supported by enhanced properties with higher values that previously contributed very little to the city.
- The development of commercial properties in particular contributes a higher share of property taxes – which can reduce the overall tax burden on residential properties.
-
Make Ogden
- Ogden City has limited growth opportunities as it is geographically surrounded by other communities, which increases the importance of maximizing any vacant or underutilized properties within the city (densifying downtown) to their best use in terms of serving community needs and creating value to help sustain the city economically.
- Most of the properties that the city has purchased (via the city redevelopment agency) are sites that were blighted and had significant barriers to redevelopment, and the likelihood for private investment and development to meet city needs was very limited. Often, the costs for demolition or site remediation discouraged private investment to the level needed, and sites/buildings would otherwise remain neglected and unusable for years.
- In such cases, the city’s involvement in improving the sites and preparing for redevelopment projects is the key to creating positive outcomes for the community.
- As an example, Ogden City previously invested in the infrastructure to prepare the current Business Depot Ogden business park, making it attractive for additional private investment. As a result, the entire community now benefits from a significant annual return on that investment that helps support the city overall. Without the city’s involvement, the area would likely have only realized a fraction of its potential as a major economic powerhouse that it represents for our entire region.
-
Make Ogden
- Gentrification is usually described as the process of changing the character of an area through the influx of more affluent residents moving in and improving housing and perhaps displacing current inhabitants. It is a common and controversial topic in most cities as there can be positive and negative outcomes that need to be balanced.
- As for the activities envisioned by Make Ogden, the increases in new residential units will take place primarily on vacant land. Further, the development of new business sites and enhancements of current historic assets will only increase access to employment opportunities at all levels. And finally, enhanced transportation development in the downtown area will further increase the livability of all residential areas in and adjacent to downtown Ogden.
-
Make Ogden
- Yes. For example, one of the development projects in Episode 1 of Make Ogden is the WonderBlock development, and the mixed-use residential/retail/commercial/hospitality/parking project will include sustainable energy sources, such as solar electricity.
- Additionally, there are certainly efficiencies inherent in the denser multi-family residential development downtown as proposed by Make Ogden, versus single-family residential developments.
- Finally, Electric Vehicle charging stations are currently being planned in various locations downtown and will also be included in the new parking structures as proposed in Make Ogden.

Make Ogden
- As authorized by Utah State Code 17-C, and by the Ogden City Redevelopment Policy, the city RDA has the option to perform potential developer engagement utilizing one of three different processes:
- Public Solicitation
- Direct Negotiation
- Unsolicited Proposals
- When developers are sought for a particular project via public solicitation, qualifications are described by the city and interested developers can submit application packages that demonstrate how they qualify as the best development partner.
- As authorized by Utah State Code 17-C, and by the Ogden City Redevelopment Policy, the city RDA has the option to perform potential developer engagement utilizing one of three different processes:

Make Ogden
- No – property taxes for property owners will not increase due to the City Redevelopment Agency’s investment into development projects, as such projects are not funded by existing property or sales taxes. As new development is increased through redevelopment activities, the city’s overall tax base is strengthened – which can reduce the tax burden on existing residents.
- For example, the bonds (funds borrowed) associated with the City RDA’s investment in the residential/retail/commercial/hospitality elements of the WonderBlock development will be paid back over a number of years via the increase in taxable value of the WonderBlock development (Tax Increment Financing or TIF), along with some funds from lease revenues from the City’s previous development investment at Business Depot Ogden (BDO).
- Additionally, the revenue bonds associated with the City Municipal Building Authority’s investment in the new parking structures located at WonderBlock and the proposed new parking management system downtown, will be paid via the revenue generated from the paid parking system – much of which will be paid by visitors from outside the community.

The primary purposes of the Make Ogden Downtown Master Plan are to increase the City’s capacity to build sustainable economic vitality going forward, and to enhance the attractiveness of downtown by increasing the number of jobs, housing options, pedestrian activity, public transportation, one-of-a-kind stores/restaurants/venues, and the overall downtown experience – all powerful economic factors that will improve the lives of residents and bolster the City’s financial health and prosperity for generations to come.
The Make Ogden Downtown Master Plan recognizes that the Ogden we know and love was born out of Ogden’s Union Station. As such, the restoration and redevelopment of the Union Station is seen as the pinnacle of Make Ogden. As Make Ogden works to build economic sustainability, a renewed Ogden Union Station will once again be positioned as the heart of downtown.
-
Union Station
No. The current Union Station facility will not be torn down or removed. Any potential changes will be enhancements to restore and preserve the Station.
Union Station is the heart of our city and the jewel of the Make Ogden Downtown Master Plan. The main portions of the building, including the Grand Hall, have been on the National Registry of Historic Places since 1973 and the facility is one of the most vital assets of the community.
Join us for our 100th Anniversary of the historic Union Station in 2024!

Union Station
The museums at Union Station will certainly be maintained, and a number of key enhancements are being considered. For example, current concepts consider moving the museum collections into a new, state-of-the-art facility on the site. This would provide a better environment for the collections and an opportunity to present current and new exhibits in new and exciting ways.
-
Union Station
Yes.

Union Station
While there is still a lot of input to consider before actual Union Station Campus plans are finalized, it is certainly anticipated that community event space will be a strong component of the historic site. Currently proposed concepts include connections throughout the campus to attractive public spaces -- supporting special events and our unique Museums.
