The neighborhood commercial zones are intended to be applied to those areas of the city where traditional commercial development patterns have established generally small scale commercial uses in neighborhoods throughout Ogden City. The neighborhood commercial zones are to provide for the reuse of existing buildings and new construction of buildings that will be compatible with and complement the residential character of the areas where they are located. The purpose of the design standards is to provide physical upgrades in building appearance, site improvements, signage limitations and other features of development that not only improve the individual property but improve the neighborhood character and are consistent with traditional compact neighborhood development. Key to the requirements is compact development, mixed uses, being pedestrian oriented and reflecting the traditional built environment in which they are located.
A. Limited Scale Neighborhood Commercial (NC-1): The NC-1 zone is intended for those small single lot developments or small clusters of single lot developments that run linearly along the street or are located at intersections of streets but are less than two and one-half (2.5) acres in composite size.
B. Expanded Scale Neighborhood Commercial (NC-2): The NC-2 zone is intended for the northwest corner of 7th and Monroe and the 2400 block of Monroe. These locations have existing larger scale buildings, multiple property owners, and serve a larger area than just the immediate neighborhood. The relationship of the development of the block beyond individual property lines, mixed uses, and the other characteristics of the neighborhood commercial zone are important for this zone.
