Planning Commission Meeting - March 13, 2025

Meeting Summary

The March 13 Lehi Planning Commission meeting focused on two significant long-range planning efforts shaping Lehi's future growth. The commission reviewed and made a formal recommendation on the 100 East Station Area Plan, which covers the Historic State Street corridor from 100 East to 400 East. The plan envisions mixed-use development with ground-floor retail and restaurant space topped by residential and office units, emphasizing live-work opportunities, gentle density housing such as duplexes and small apartment complexes, and affordable housing options. The plan incorporates the recently approved 25-unit State Street Lehi Apartment Complex and was scheduled to go before the City Council for a vote on April 8. The commission also discussed the North Lehi Station Area Plan, a forward-looking planning framework for development around a future FrontRunner commuter rail station at 3200 West Traverse Mountain Boulevard. This plan addresses how Lehi will accommodate transit-oriented development in the northern part of the city as Utah Transit Authority considers expanding commuter rail service. Both area plans reflect the city's broader strategy of guiding growth toward walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods rather than allowing continued sprawl-style development. The commission's recommendations on these plans would inform City Council decisions in subsequent weeks.
