A 2.8-acre stretch of agricultural land near 1600 South in Farmington is set for residential development after the City Council rezoned the property Tuesday, Sept. 1.

The council passed Ordinance 2026-34, changing the zoning from AA, or Heavy Agriculture, to LR, or Large Residential, with a Planned Unit Development overlay. The property sits at 44 W 1600 S and 1575 S Frontage Road.

The ordinance took effect immediately.

For neighbors in the Tuscany Village subdivision, which borders the site to the south, the rezone means new homes are coming to land that had been zoned for agricultural use. The former Bamberger Electric Railroad right-of-way runs along the property's western edge.

The rezone clears the way for the Avocet Subdivision, a residential project proposed by Centerville-based CW Avocet, LLC. Darlene Carter is the company's CEO, according to business records. The council also considered a schematic subdivision layout and preliminary PUD master plan for the project at the same meeting, according to the Sept. 1 agenda.

Mayor Brett Anderson signed the ordinance. City Recorder DeAnn Carlile attested the document.

The property spans four parcels. A small strip of the main parcel, about 0.008 acres, was previously conveyed to the Utah Department of Transportation for I-15 widening under a warranty deed recorded July 30, 2025, tied to UDOT Project No. S-R199(343).

The Farmington Planning Commission held a public hearing and recommended the rezone to the council, according to the ordinance. Community Development Director Lyle Gibson serves as the staff contact for the planning commission.

The number of homes planned for the site, proposed lot sizes and the individual council vote tally have not been made public in available records. Meeting minutes from the Sept. 1 session have not yet been published.
