Lindon council approves development agreement, rezones Canopy Business Park site to regional commercial

Lindon City Council on Sept. 16, 2025, approved a development agreement with Westland Development LLC and passed related general-plan and zoning changes to allow a four-building office/warehouse project in the Canopy Business Park.

The project covers about 6.8 acres and would deliver roughly 132,000 square feet of office-warehouse space across four buildings, with about 340 parking stalls and building heights capped at 35 feet, planning staff said. The council adopted the development agreement by motion (Resolution 2025-22R) and then approved an amendment to the Lindon General Plan and a zoning map change from Research & Business to Regional Commercial for the site.

The council and staff framed the actions as a compromise between the developer and nearby residents, with several conditions added to reduce noise, lighting and privacy impacts on neighboring homes. Planning staff told the council the developer will provide a 30-foot landscape setback, a continuous 7-foot masonry wall along the residential property line and clerestory windows on the rear elevations so second-story occupants cannot look directly into back yards. "It's 4 buildings, approximately a 132,000 square feet of, office warehouse space," planning staff said during the presentation.

Why it matters: the site sits adjacent to established residential lots and a popular multiuse trail. Council members said the changes create an economically viable product for small businesses while aiming to protect adjacency concerns through design controls included in the development agreement and zoning conditions.
