Planning Commission Meeting - October 9, 2025

Meeting Summary

The October 9, 2025 Lehi City Planning Commission meeting was chaired by Vice Chair Brent Everett in the absence of Commission Chair Gregory Jackson. Commissioners Tyson Eyre, Nicole Kunze, Emily Lockhart, and Ken Roberts were present, along with Community Development Director Kim Struthers, Planner Brittney Harris, City Engineer Lorin Powell, Assistant City Attorney Nate Purser, and Deputy City Recorder Kate Morgan. The commission held a public hearing on a proposed Development Code amendment to Chapter 4 that would add a General Plan exhibit requirement for applicants seeking a general plan amendment. Planner Harris explained that the amendment codifies an existing practice by allowing applicants to submit a visual exhibit clarifying the scope of their proposed amendment. Commissioners discussed that concept plans are not required at the general plan amendment stage but remain required later in the development process when actual construction is proposed. Two significant long-range planning efforts were also discussed. Staff reported that the Downtown Revitalization Plan and Station Area Plan had been posted on Engage Lehi for public input, with a formal public hearing scheduled for the October 23 Planning Commission meeting. Additionally, staff announced the launch of an update to the city's Design Standards — broad architectural and visual guidelines governing commercial and residential development — at the direction of City Council. That effort will go out for public feedback shortly and is expected to include some consolidation of commercial zone categories. The commission adjourned unanimously at approximately 9:00 p.m.
