Planning Commission Work Session - March 6, 2025

Meeting Summary

The Planning Commission used this work session to review the 100 East Station Area Plan, the city's blueprint for revamping Historic State Street between 100 East and 400 East. The plan grew out of Lehi's Downtown Revitalization Plan and is intended to give the corridor a coherent mixed-use future rather than continuing piecemeal redevelopment. As presented, the area plan envisions ground-floor retail and restaurant space along State Street, with residential and office uses above. Staff incorporated the recently approved 25-unit State Street Lehi Apartment Complex into the design and built in several of the city's housing goals: residential mixed-use units, gentle density such as duplexes and small apartment complexes, and a layer of attainable, lower-cost housing to round out the corridor. No final action was taken at the work session. The commission discussed the plan in depth and signaled it would carry the matter to its next regular meeting, where a formal recommendation to the City Council was expected. Residents interested in the future look and feel of downtown State Street were directed to follow the March 13 regular meeting for the recommendation vote.
