Altura Amended and Restated Master Development Agreement
Description
A landowner-initiated plan for 1,531 homes — single family, townhomes, limited multifamily, and a small commercial component — across about 500 acres, with six miles of public trails, a donated 10-acre park, and density triggers. The commission recommended it to the city council 6-1 with conditions.
Impact summary
Adds up to 1,531 homes and roughly 1,300 more residents over 15-25 years, bringing an estimated $17 million in impact fees but straining water, roads, and schools.

Altura Development Proposal
A resident speaking for the Altura opposition group submitted a 2000 landowner lawsuit showing the Northview Estates acreage was downzoned from HP-3 to HP-1 as part of a master development agreement, and urged the city not to allow further zoning reductions. Altura returns to the Planning Commission November 4.
Hillside Development and Safety
A resident group delivered a mission statement opposing a proposed development on the hillside, citing traffic, strained emergency services and the city's own hillside protection zone standards, and urging the council to vote no.
Altura Development Proposal
The proposed Altura project would annex and develop roughly 500 acres of Marriott family property on North Ogden's north bench. The planning commission is set to review the master development agreement and issue a land use recommendation on the annexation, with the City Council holding final authority.
The Highlands Hillside Rezone Proposal
A core fight: opponents said the mixed-use, higher-density Altura plan violates the general plan's hillside residential designation; staff and the developer argued clustering at roughly three units per acre fits the plan's medium-density range. Commissioners agreed the general plan is outdated and needs an update.
