City Council - November 14, 2023

Meeting Summary

The November 14, 2023 Lehi City Council meeting was one of the more substantive sessions of the fall, featuring a lengthy regular agenda with multiple ordinances, development approvals, and policy decisions. In the pre-council session, the mayor and council received updates on The Point development project from Alan Matheson, heard a Lehi fiber network update, discussed a potential development agreement for the Gardner property at the corner of Redwood Road and 2100 North, and reviewed a proposed conservation easement for the Traverse Mountain area. The council adopted several ordinances at the regular session. Ordinance 62-2023 amended the city's animal code, removing the cumulative restriction on animal ownership rights and increasing the maximum number of dogs allowed per household from two to three — a change the Planning Commission had recommended in October. Ordinance 66-2023 added a proposed long-range "north shore offshore freeway" corridor along the north side of Utah Lake to the Master Transportation Plan. Ordinance 64-2023 updated the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan with new trail connections between Dry Creek Elementary and the Dry Creek Trail. Ordinance 65-2023 established new requirements for traffic impact studies in the Design Standards Manual. Ordinance 67-2023 amended Chapter 37 of the Development Code to add an exceptions clause to the Multi-Family Design Standards. On the development side, the council considered final subdivision approval for River Point Phase 3, an 11.36-acre residential project by Edge Homes at approximately 1050 North 3750 West, and reviewed the Hardman Farms 67-unit Planned Unit Development concept at approximately 3200 North Indian Ford Drive. A public hearing was held on Ordinance 63-2023 to vacate the section of 100 North between Center Street and 100 East. The council also approved Resolution 2023-69 authorizing a construction contract with Tycon Construction for the Flight Park pressurized irrigation reservoir, and Resolution 2023-68 making new appointments to the John Hutchings Museum Board of Trustees.
