Lehi Planning Commission Meeting: October 8, 2026

The Lehi Planning Commission convened on October 8, 2026, at 7:00 PM in the City Council Chambers. The meeting covered four regular agenda items: a zoning recommendation for a proposed annexation, a zone change to align with the general plan, an exception for building materials on a commercial expansion, and a mixed-use townhome project that did not meet updated code requirements. The consent calendar was empty, and no public comments were made on any item. The meeting adjourned after approximately 15 minutes.

Consent Calendar

• No items were on the consent agenda.

Public Comments & Testimony

• No members of the public spoke during any of the public hearings.

Discussion Items

• 3.1 Logan Annexation Zoning Recommendation (Danny Logan): Staff presented a request to annex 2.68 acres at approximately 1300 S 1700 W and recommend zoning: a small portion (over half an acre) as R-1-22 and the remainder (2.173 acres) as TH-5. The applicant, Dan Logan, stated he has lived on the corner for 35 years and does not intend to develop beyond the half-acre he currently occupies. The commission supported the recommendation.
• 3.2 802 West State Street Zone Change (Lawrence Snow): A request to change zoning on 0.72 acres from Mixed Use to Heavy Commercial to match the general plan and adjacent parcels owned by the applicant. Lawrence Snow confirmed the goal to consolidate three parcels. The commission recommended approval.
• 3.3 Moto United Phase 2 Building Materials Exception (Colby Anderson): An exception to allow primary building materials (likely stone) for a second recreation vehicle/boat sales and service building at 450 Millpond Drive. The applicant's representative (Andrew with Aur B Architects) noted the building will be a twin to the existing red building but blue. The commission approved the exception.
• 3.4 Tapley Project Concept (Tapley Mitchell): A proposal to add four two-story townhome units (three bedrooms, 1.5 baths each) and retain existing structures at 58 S 300 W, all rental units on one parcel. The property is zoned Mixed Use, but recent code changes require 30% of housing to be platted for individual ownership and 50% of finished interior floor area to be non-residential. The applicant stated the concept was designed before the code changed and that commercial use does not make sense in that location. Staff advised a negative recommendation due to non-compliance, but the commission expressed support for the project's location and lack of public opposition. The commission recommended denial with encouragement for the city council to consider a development agreement or code amendment.

Key Outcomes

• 3.1 Logan Annexation: Motion to recommend approval (Nicole/Bo) with findings that the zoning conforms to the general plan and includes DRC comments. Passed unanimously. Will go to city council on October 27, 2026.
• 3.2 802 West State Street Zone Change: Motion to recommend approval (Bo/Greg) with findings of consistency with the general plan and surrounding properties. Passed unanimously. Also set for October 27 city council.
• 3.3 Moto United Phase 2 Exception: Motion to approve (Nicole/Bo) with findings consistent with the development code and general plan. Passed unanimously. Final approval at planning commission level.
• 3.4 Tapley Project Concept: Motion for a negative recommendation (Bo/Nicole) citing non-compliance with recent code changes, but strongly encouraging city council to consider a development agreement or code amendment due to the project's appropriateness and no voiced dissent from the public. Passed unanimously. Will go to city council on October 27.
• City Business: Staff announced the hiring of Caden Peterson as a new planner and noted the code compliance position is open. The commission discussed the book "The 3rd Alternative" by Stephen R. Covey and "Habits of a Peacemaker," reflecting on improving public discourse and avoiding ad hominem arguments.
