Planning Commission Meeting - March 14, 2024

Meeting Summary

The March 14, 2024 Lehi Planning Commission meeting was a development-heavy agenda focused on commercial growth on the city's east and north sides. The most consequential item was Cole Peck's request for a General Plan amendment on 12.81 acres at approximately 600 East 600 South, asking to change the land use designation from Low Density Residential to Heavy Commercial and Commercial under the "Lakeview Land and Rock" project. General Plan amendments are particularly significant because they alter the long-range policy map the city uses to evaluate all future zoning decisions for a property. Commissioners also reviewed Gardner Companies' "Lehi Block Retail 1" site plan with a conditional use for a drive-through at 2255 North 1200 West. Drive-through conditional uses are routinely scrutinized for traffic stacking, pedestrian safety, and compatibility with surrounding uses. In addition, Aaron Larson's request for preliminary subdivision approval of "Skyline Subdivision" — a 5-lot commercial subdivision at approximately 1700 North Boston Street — was on the agenda for review. The commission opened at 153 North 100 East with Chair Gregory Jackson, Vice Chair Brent Everett, and Commissioners Tyson Eyre, Emily Lockhart, and Nicole Kunze present, along with alternate Ken Roberts; Commissioner Beau Jones was excused. As is typical with planning commission actions in Lehi, recommendations from this meeting were forwarded to the City Council for final action.
