Planning Commission Meeting - April 10, 2025

Meeting Summary

The Lehi City Planning Commission met on April 10, 2025 and worked through a full agenda of residential land use items, approving several applications by unanimous vote. The most substantive item was a request by Bart Christofferson for R-1-Flex zoning on his Annexation #2 property, a 0.40-acre parcel. The R-1-Flex designation conforms with the Very Low Density Residential Area (VLDRA) designation in the General Plan and will allow an additional home to be built on the property for family members. The commission confirmed the proposal met all development code requirements before approving it unanimously.\n\nThe commission also approved a lot split requested by applicant Natalie Barron, who sought to divide her property so that two of her children could each build a home on the site. The split required resolving a water rights issue, which had necessitated the application come before the commission a second time; once that was addressed, the commission found the proposal consistent with the General Plan and approved it. Two additional plat amendments also moved forward: the Gardner Point Phase 1 plat amendment and the Ward Meadows plat amendment, both of which passed unanimously with no significant public opposition noted.\n\nIn the area of code policy, the commission took up a Development Code Amendment to Table 05.040-B affecting the neighborhood commercial zone. The change removes side and rear yard setback requirements in that zone so they align with setbacks in adjacent nonresidential zones, making the code more internally consistent for mixed-use and commercial areas. The commission also approved the minutes from its March 27, 2025 meeting. All items from this meeting that require City Council action will be forwarded for final consideration at an upcoming council meeting.
