Symphony Development said it wants the parcel to be included in the existing College Farms PRD so the new lots will match the surrounding neighborhood’s lot sizes (average about 0.41 acres) and the same HOA and amenities. The developer presented a “base plan” showing seven lots under standard R‑1‑22 rules; Symphony asked for up to nine lots by committing additional right‑of‑way dedication and neighborhood amenity upgrades such as pool shade or a modest entrance landscape.

Neighbors at the hearing expressed concerns about adding lots adjacent to existing half‑acre homes, loss of mature trees, and how adding units affects HOA governance, architectural control and amenity capacity. Several residents asked that any new lots be tightly controlled on design and buffering and suggested a resident advisory committee to give existing homeowners input on design decisions.

Council discussion focused on two issues: land‑use fairness (residents asked not to change the long‑standing expectation of large lots in this neighborhood) and whether the developer should be required to add amenities or buffers if the council allows additional density. City engineering staff advised that the applicant could be credited one additional lot if the developer dedicates right‑of‑way and constructs curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements to 1500 North; staff said the frontage only supported one additional lot without more extensive work.

After deliberation the council voted to approve the R‑1‑22 rezoning but not the full nine‑lot plan Symphony requested. Instead the council approved a Plat F concept limited to eight lots and directed staff to work with the applicant to draft a development agreement that would permit an office‑warehouse style use (the applicant had proposed office/warehouse with indoor storage) or the specific lot layout as an exhibit. Council members said the development agreement should include buffering and other protections for adjacent homeowners; the developer agreed to explore those terms and present a draft returned to planning commission and council.

Ending: The council approved the zone change to R‑1‑22 and granted conditional concept approval for an eight‑lot Plat F, and it sent the developer and staff back to craft a development agreement that details permitted uses, buffering and an advisory process with residents. The item will return to planning commission and then to the council for final approval of the development agreement and plat.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lehi City Council Live Stream | August 26","oneSentenceSummary","The Lehi City Council rezoned a 5.2‑acre parcel adjacent to College Farms from TH5 to R‑1‑22 and approved an eight‑lot concept after residents asked for buffering and architectural protections.","taxTitle","Lehi City News, Lehi, Utah County, Utah","taxId",20072,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6493013,"Lehi RDA adopts Skyview community reinvestment plan, approves budget and related development agreement",2718,13093000,15811000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5693387-119ea5f9ec99a6153d5316285a88dd37&start=13093&end=15811","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5693387-119ea5f9ec99a6153d5316285a88dd37/thumbnail_13093000.jpg","/articles/6493013/Utah/Lehi-RDA-adopts-Skyview-community-reinvestment-plan-approves-budget-and-related-development-agreement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6493013-f9f1fd16a07297b9de90a178ba655fa9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771009981&Signature=TJDEjIt2KWcw6ag~5XGr9L5qnpjMrWDzNltA~ixEBJXbQ45jBfU~eecZYxwqQOESUJ5hL14YwnQaiGsvWnuiBzcdMFsM2bmWBIc~N8TDWf16BUANe8HS~Dk7OOUrsdL8y9Nsz4WUi5zgkFFD48o-g6ozgKag7jcCHSE8R7vnqbcEE0wGXsEBoqs8QQZmjeBf04n6NdMYSrbzUHZiPkiJcFD6X9TcEqBZHVrTRZfqTBGMgunFWulLsqcNrXs3QlCqGnKvAendxrwO4vwb9pFE2aWGkiK0Jx888Kpg1Mdknq5a83PsOJd73~NI5DXJ5JXEx2BwW-wD0xhMjwbsDMZH4g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lehi Redevelopment Agency and the City Council moved forward with a community reinvestment project area the agency labeled Skyview, a 28.84‑acre retail and mixed‑use parcel north of SR‑92 and just west of Center Street.

At a public hearing the agency adopted a project area map and official project budget and then approved interlocal and development agreements to allow tax‑increment style reimbursements for qualifying public infrastructure and to support recruitment of prospective retail tenants. Agency staff said letters of intent from prospective retailers and fitness users are in process; the developer told the agency it had been negotiating leases and LOIs for months.

Key elements in the agency’s approvals:

- Project area and budget: The agency adopted a 28.84‑acre project area and an official budget for the project area; the budget allocates anticipated incremental sales tax (and related receipts) for developer reimbursement and administrative set‑aside. Staff will file required state notices and the 30‑day public reporting items required by statute.

- Development agreement: The agency approved a development agreement with Gardner Plum and Equestrian Partners (the lead developer) that will reimburse qualifying public‑infrastructure costs on a post‑performance basis. Staff emphasized the agreement requires performance — the developer must build and generate projected sales tax before reimbursements are released.

- Interlocal with the city: The city and the agency approved a companion interlocal agreement to route the city’s portion of incremental sales tax to the agency for reimbursement under the development agreement. Under the model used, a portion of future incremental sales tax will be retained for a 10% set‑aside for low‑ and moderate‑income housing or related programs as required by state law when annual proceeds exceed specified thresholds.

Public comment at the hearing included both support and cautions. One resident urged care about long‑term impacts on services and transparency about how tax increment money is used; others supported the agency’s role in assembling the infrastructure package needed to attract regional retail that, staff said, would not locate without coordinated public‑private investment.

Agency and city staff noted two points often asked by residents: (1) the plan does not itself rezone property — it establishes a financing framework and project area; zoning and land‑use approvals still follow regular planning and building processes; and (2) the agency’s reimbursements are explicitly post‑performance: the developer must build the improvements and generate tax receipts before receiving the pledged portion of incremental revenue.

Ending: The agency and city will complete statutory notices and reporting; staff will monitor LOIs and the developer’s schedule. The development agreement and budget include time limits, administrative fees and a 10% housing set‑aside for qualifying proceeds; staff said they would return to the council with required reports and recommended next steps as tenants and construction plans firm up.","The Lehi Redevelopment Agency adopted the Skyview community reinvestment project area — a 28.84‑acre site north of SR‑92 — and approved a budget, interlocal agreement with the city and a development agreement to reimburse qualifying public infrastructure on a post‑performance basis.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6493016,"Perry Companies proposes moving 600 canyon homes to lower parcels; council presses on infrastructure, traffic and quarry grading",2637,117000,2754000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5693387-119ea5f9ec99a6153d5316285a88dd37&start=117&end=2754","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5693387-119ea5f9ec99a6153d5316285a88dd37/thumbnail_117000.jpg","/articles/6493016/Utah/Perry-Companies-proposes-moving-600-canyon-homes-to-lower-parcels-council-presses-on-infrastructure-traffic-and-quarry-grading","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6493016-4bb5e90f1554f1dc98d141e9ea6e27e9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771009981&Signature=f2Hwhga4Mse9itFhOcCvO6rs8X7fdBvKeVWNE390BQMh3zrY0g6Zt07lmkBWIAV0-5Frdnw1iKbf6514vXT5UaIWz7UbFulQ5xhP3RHC1OBuXnJ-BfU-exKDSUMabR3xpxo~8qz1wMHKFp3yfZXZmRGBrzFxHq7pxWA-c2m2PPBSn5hzAp0KCptz~YJQBuyQKl6Hgp23Eq0PV1LOg5Fwqtg3dzx8xNl1IMLGZV8WssfUpAF~7nxkffx7igv3yPs~EzVKbi0XlIVZPOdw6ki60ZgK2EgDOdtuoldBVw1jFUa5JgiETmKhtDmv~PBH-1osPRrMLLRl4S-mRwBOWY7g7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Perry Companies representatives told the Lehi City Council they want to move roughly 600 entitled residential units from West Canyon down to remaining developable parcels along SR‑92 and onto adjacent Riverbend holdings.

The proposal presented by Matt Swain said moving the units “out of the canyon” would allow the company to dedicate the canyon portion to permanent open space and avoid additional residential traffic on hillside roads near schools, churches and parks. Perry also asked to rezone a small parcel near Central Utah Bank along SR‑92 as commercial to reflect “highest and best use” near the highway.

Council members and staff pressed Perry on technical details the presentation did not include. Questions focused on three clusters: (1) grading that Geneva (a third party operator) has already performed in West Canyon and who authorized it; (2) capacity of culinary water, pressurized irrigation and sewer if several hundred units are moved to the lower area; and (3) traffic and emergency‑response impacts, especially at Morning Vista and Timpanogos Highway.

Perry said it does not own nor control Geneva’s sand/gravel operation and that Geneva had contractual rights to grade the hillside. The developer repeated it intends not to build homes in West Canyon and that, once Geneva’s activities are finished, Perry would pursue a perpetual open‑space dedication for that acreage. Council members said residents have raised concerns that the hillside will be visibly altered and that regrading and revegetation plans would need to be part of any long‑term solution.

On utilities, city staff said initial review suggests sewer and water could likely support additional units but further capacity studies would be required. The city noted there are already planned improvements, such as paving and widening of Flight Park Road that are programmed in the capital budget. Staff also flagged that additional on‑site infrastructure — internal roads, water tanks, fire flows and other systems — would be the developer’s responsibility.

On traffic, city planners and the public works director said a traffic study would be required before detailed approvals and pointed out that moving density down to SR‑92 would change trip patterns: instead of many trips traveling through hillside streets, vehicles would be routed to Timpanogos Highway and Morning Vista. The city said mitigation could include signalization, median treatments and additional east‑west connectors; staff and some council members emphasized studies rather than assumptions.

Several council members warned the council and developer that the proposal raises long‑standing sensitivities. The West Canyon area was controversial when the area plan was approved years ago; some council members and residents said it is difficult to accept a change now after substantial grading has occurred. Perry replied it had been discussing the relocation concept with city staff for months and that one goal is to create denser, more transit‑oriented housing closer to SR‑92 and the planned transit station.

Council members asked Perry to return with more concrete materials: a proposed area‑map amendment showing parcel‑level allocations, a traffic and utilities capacity study, conceptual regrading/revegetation options for the canyon area (to be coordinated with Geneva), and a clearer legal explanation of the rights Geneva holds to mine or grade. Several council members said they were open to the idea in principle but not to approving conceptual changes without studies and a community outreach plan.

Ending: Perry left the meeting with a direction to continue coordination with staff, to supply the requested technical studies and to engage Geneva and Riverbend on access, grading and timing. The council did not take formal action at this meeting and asked staff to return analysis and options once studies are ready.","Perry Companies asked the Lehi City Council to relocate roughly 600 residential units titled for West Canyon to parcels lower on the mountainside and adjacent land near SR‑92, saying the move would protect the canyon and concentrate housing where infrastructure and commerce are planned.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6492995,"Council votes at a glance: August 26, 2025 — parking rules, retaining walls, ADUs, bonds, interlocals and RDA actions",3113,7731000,10844000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5693387-119ea5f9ec99a6153d5316285a88dd37&start=7731&end=10844","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5693387-119ea5f9ec99a6153d5316285a88dd37/thumbnail_7731000.jpg","/articles/6492995/Utah/Council-votes-at-a-glance-August-26-2025-parking-rules-retaining-walls-ADUs-bonds-interlocals-and-RDA-actions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6492995-2c04df5a3a3e0b68aac9f3bfb22ca521/orig.mp4?Expires=1771009981&Signature=P1gFCH9X11dSVqmjaShl~tPgGi0GFsZgAGsMxGHMuikGEEHm3MP0gSMF27dN4u2V94JmUh8ttUxHtXMCdjI-j5B1UkPYQPR0ouCvc0JIy~HLCBdKj39H9TAJVrGLOQHwTWkDBH-lkkWrA-sHLGTmyRrEYPBI55XgAr4FKq~DLwokuakeeOqcCD3zXWEqWmyyCkWL8Rpe6Z70qyuivtcEQ06JvEgESkRpbtcwtWqHA8w774rh1gR2etVjNc3nXsez8D~W6JqzLDJjthRjH8p8sFLJfeC~cokYI1IAarRx~doT2A7qKQBcgKgNCDW4v7OpK3EY0HHM6Zi1mk2xbjeW-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Key formal outcomes from the Aug. 26 Lehi City Council and Redevelopment Agency sessions (votes taken; roll‑call results noted where recorded):

- Winter parking ordinance: Council approved an amendment to Lehi Municipal Code Title 7, Chapter 1 removing the seasonal “no overnight parking Nov 1–Mar 30” requirement and leaving enforcement for declared snow events and post‑storm periods. The motion was approved by roll call. Staff rationale: enforcement burden and low number of plow nights undercut year‑round prohibition; staff will send notices to residents when storms threaten.

- Retaining wall standards (ordinance 51‑2025): Council approved a development‑code amendment adding detailed design, submission and safety requirements for retaining walls (drainage, factors of safety, geotechnical reporting and inspection requirements). Vote was unanimous.

- Accessory dwelling units (ADU) code change (ordinance 407‑2025): Council approved code changes to detached ADU rules, including a lower minimum lot size (from 15,000 sq ft to 0.33 acre / 14,520 sq ft) and grading/steep‑slope considerations. The council approved the ordinance after staff and engineering recommended limiting slope allowance and requiring grading plans for steeper sites.

- Water bonds resolution (Resolution 2025‑60): Council approved parameters to issue bonds for water fund projects in the 2026 budget, including a maintenance/storage building and PI reservoir improvements. Bond counsel attended to answer technical questions. Council passed the resolution by roll call.

- Interlocal cooperation: Council approved an interlocal agreement with American Fork City for cost sharing on the Pony Express Parkway (1900 South) extension to American Fork; Utah County provides project funding through MAG assignment. Council approved by roll call.

- UDOT 2100 North master agreement: Council approved a master agreement with UDOT governing protection and adjustment of city utilities as the state constructs the 2100 North freeway improvements. Council approved changes to Exhibit E specifying acceptable utility settlement criteria.

- College Farms Plat F: Council rezoned a 5.2‑acre parcel from TH5 to R‑1‑22 and approved an eight‑lot concept after debate; staff and the developer will draft a development agreement with buffering and design controls before final plat approval.

- RDA actions and closeouts: The Redevelopment Agency adopted the Skyview Project Area Plan, its project budget, an interlocal with the city and a development agreement for Gardner Plum and partners; the city council adopted the ordinance and interlocal as well. Separately the council and RDA approved dissolution/closeout of two previous project areas — Thanksgiving Park and the SR‑92/Digital Drive project areas — returning all incremental tax receipts to taxing entities. Agency staff will file required statutory notices and monitor performance under Skyview.

Ending: Many items approved were authorizations to proceed (study, budgeting, interlocals, project area adoption) rather than final building approvals. Several items require follow‑up: traffic and utilities studies for major area‑plan amendments, a development agreement draft for College Farms Plat F, and statutory filings and periodic performance reports on the Skyview RDA project area.","Lehi City Council and the Redevelopment Agency approved a package of ordinances, resolutions and RDA actions on Aug. 26 that together affect winter parking rules, retaining walls standards, accessory dwelling unit rules, water‑fund bond authority, highway interlocal agreements and multiple RDA project area actions.","actionData","errors"]
