Planning Commission Meeting - February 13, 2025

Meeting Summary

The February 13 Planning Commission meeting featured a notable proposal to amend the Holbrook Farms Area Plan by adding a 7.15-acre parcel and allowing townhome development on a portion of the site. The applicant submitted a concept plan illustrating 85 townhome units on 6.39 acres, yielding a density of approximately 13.3 units per acre, with 369 total parking spaces including two per unit and one guest space for every three units. The proposed amendment would apply a residential overlay to Section 14 of the area plan, allowing townhomes on interior portions not fronting major roads like 3600 West, 2100 North, or the hospital road, while preserving the commercial character along those corridors. The commission also considered other development applications on its agenda for the evening. The Holbrook Farms amendment was significant because it would shift land originally designated for commercial use toward residential development in one of Lehi's largest master-planned communities, an area that has seen steady buildout of both housing and commercial properties over the past several years. The public engagement process for this item was managed through the city's Engage Lehi platform, where residents could review project documents and submit comments. Items receiving favorable recommendations from the commission would advance to the City Council for final action.
