Planning Commission Meeting - September 25, 2025

Meeting Summary

The September 25 Planning Commission meeting carried a full agenda with six items touching on annexation, General Plan amendments, conditional use permits, and a city-initiated affordable housing initiative.\n\nAustin Cooper sought annexation and R-1-22 (residential/agriculture) zoning for approximately 5.08 acres at roughly 1500 South 1100 West, known as the JDH Olson Annexation. Jordan Lee requested a General Plan amendment to change 0.50 acres at 1035 West Main Street from Medium Density Residential to Commercial. Life Time Fitness presented a concept plan for a new fitness facility near 300 East Traverse Terrace Drive, requesting an exception to the city's standard requirement that parking not be placed between buildings and the street. Jonny Warner sought conditional use approval for a transport and dirt storage operation at 7491 West 8179 North. Perry Developments requested a General Plan amendment to change 1.48 acres along Bull River Road from Low Density Residential to High Density Residential.\n\nThe most policy-significant item was the Starter Home Attainable Residential (SHAR) ordinance, a city-initiated proposal establishing a new pathway for small single-family homes in Lehi. The ordinance was designed to address affordability concerns by enabling smaller-footprint ownership housing.
