The February 27, 2024 City Council meeting featured a substantial pre-council work session covering three planning-related discussions. The Council examined the 2100 North / Holy Cross Hospital Station Area Plan, a transit-oriented development framework for the area near the planned future commuter rail station. Councilmembers also received an update on the General Plan Pioneer Crossing Village Overlay concept — a proposed mixed-use development framework for the area around 1100 West and Pioneer Crossing. The Pioneer Crossing Village concept had been under discussion for some time and would continue to be evaluated in the weeks ahead. The pre-council session also included presentations on city departmental goals. During the regular session, Mayor Johnson signed an Arbor Day Proclamation recognizing Lehi's commitment to urban forestry. The Council also received a presentation from representatives of the Utah Southern Railroad Depot Museum, highlighting the historic preservation efforts centered on Lehi's railroad heritage. On the legislative side, the Council considered Resolution #2024-04, an Interlocal Agreement with American Fork City for the provision of court services, and Resolution #2024-05, a water delivery agreement with Texas Instruments — which operates a significant semiconductor manufacturing facility in Lehi. Two ordinances were on the agenda for action. Ordinance #09-2024 proposed rezoning 10.92 acres at approximately 1500 North 2600 West — known as the Willow Park Church property — from Transitional Holding (TH-5) to R-1-22 single-family residential, a conversion of a large church parcel to lower-density housing. Ordinance #10-2024 proposed a Development Code Amendment to Chapter 35, Lehi's Community Forestry chapter, clarifying the city's regulations governing both private and public trees.
