General RV Agreements and Infrastructure Financing
The RV park sought to make its winter exemption permanent, allowing guests to stay through the winter without breaking their 120-day stay limit. City leaders found that the policy has increased tax revenue and reduced winter moving hassles without causing police or safety issues.

Highway Fencing and Subdivision Code Updates
The city updated subdivision rules to mandate solid masonry walls along I-84 and I-89 corridors for new developments to protect against fires and highway hazards. Code changes also incorporated state requirements for family impact considerations and streamlined external accessory dwelling units.
External Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) Streamlining
Following state law changes, South Weber is removing the requirement for a conditional use permit to build an external ADU. Building an ADU will now follow standard building permit rules, making it easier for families to build backyard cottages for aging parents or relatives.
