Lehi City Planning Commission Meeting | April 23, 2026

The Lehi City Planning Commission held a meeting on April 23, 2026, where several land use and development issues were discussed, including sign exceptions, subdivision approvals, and area plan amendments. Key procurement-related discussions involved a request by Smith for an exception to increase the height of a pylon sign from the code-allowed 25 feet to 50 feet to improve visibility near a new freeway overpass; this request was supported by the commission with conditions. Another significant topic was a conceptual area plan amendment proposed by Perry Homes to transfer residential density from West Canyon to lower areas near SR92, which sparked extensive public opposition due to concerns about increased traffic, density, and impacts on existing community plans. The commission debated the merits of the density transfer, with some members favoring a hybrid approach. Other items included approval of a preliminary subdivision by Perry Homes, conditional use for a detached accessory dwelling unit, and an amendment to a development agreement allowing signage for the Hansen Tennis Club. Motions were passed to approve the sign exception, subdivision, accessory dwelling unit, and signage amendment, while one subdivision item was tabled at the applicant's request. The meeting also included public hearings and extensive community input on the density transfer proposal, highlighting concerns about infrastructure, traffic, and adherence to the original area plan.
