Your mom lives next door to the proposed site and they haven't even consulted her??? That's a little bizarre if you ask me given the money they may have already invested. Perhaps you should contact the developer to see if there is a deal to be made if that's what you're looking for.
That is what is upsetting me the most. This is the first we hear about this is a letter from the city asking for objections about rezoning. It is like they hoped she would miss the letter or something and let it slip by. She already tried to find out who the developer is, but she said they wouldnt tell her. I have no idea who she called, but I assume it was the number for the City Planning that was on the letter she got. Is there a way I can find out who it is?

Where is the home?
In Ogden, on the north end. Directly across from the burger joint on Ogden Road. It is right along the tracks near the train yard. The apartment building to her North is called Alyth Lodge and there is a Hobby shop in the main floor. Kinda across the street from her is a new multi family complex that is being built.

You mentioned it's an infill. That'd be an extra 25' of frontage. If it is RM-5, probably worht acquiring. RM-4? Perhaps not, depending on guidelines.
I am sure that is why they are not pursuing my moms property, it is the nicest house on the smallest lots. 2 of the 4 south of her at 75' lots and 2 are 50' lots. What do you mean by RM-5 , RM-4, what would be the difference in cost?

I think the most important question is whether the 4 southern properties eventually hit a street. If so, she has a better chance of doing something. If not, it's the wild west on her block.
I am not sure what you mean by this, but this info might help.

South of her are the 4 lots in question, then 3 more lots with houses then a smallish apartment type building. It doesn't a street for probably 5 more houses past the smaller apartment building, and even then it is not really a street as much as an alley exit that matches with a street intersection.
