Planning commission recommends general-plan and zoning changes, approves plat amendment for 158 West 110 South
Summary
Lindon City Planning Commission voted to recommend changes to the future land use map and zoning boundaries that reduce commercial acreage and to approve a plat amendment expanding lot size at 158 West 110 South, with conditions and subject to city council action.
The Lindon City Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend amendments to the city’s general plan and zoning map for parcels near State Street and to approve a plat amendment that would expand the lot at 158 West 110 South.
The commission recommended approval of ordinance 2025‑03‑0 to amend the Lindon City general plan future land use for Parcels 140690331 and 140690332 and of ordinance 2025‑04‑0 to adjust R‑1‑20 and general commercial zoning boundaries as shown in the adopting ordinances. The commission also approved a plat amendment for the Linden Treasury Subdivision (Plat D) to increase the lot at 158 West 110 South from 21,505 square feet to just over 39,000 square feet; that plat approval is conditioned on city council approval of the general‑plan and zoning amendments.
Why it matters: the combined actions square off residential boundaries, reduce the amount of commercially zoned land behind two lots on 110 South and create a larger single parcel for the applicant. Staff said the changes make the commercial area less deep and therefore less likely to qualify for high‑density housing under current code.
Details and process: Mike Florence, presenting staff, summarized the plat amendment and the zoning/general‑plan requests. "The current lot size is 21,505 square feet. They're proposing to increase that lot size to just over 39,000 square feet," Florence said. He told the commission the subdivision requirements were met and that the plat approval should be conditioned on city council action: "this will be on hold until after Monday night when the council gets a chance to approve it." The commission recorded five conditions on the plat approval, including final corrections with the city engineer, notarized signatures on the final mylar prior to recording, and compliance with the Lindon City development manual and items in the staff report.
Public input and staff response: During the public hearing on the general‑plan and zone changes, residents questioned traffic and future development patterns (see separate article on neighborhood concerns). Staff reiterated that the application before the commission was a boundary and map cleanup, not a specific commercial site plan. When a commercial development is proposed, staff said the city will re‑notice neighbors and require a site plan and, where appropriate, a traffic study.
Votes and next steps: The planning commission's recommendations will go to the Lindon City Council; staff noted the plat amendment approval is contingent on the council adopting the general‑plan and zoning map amendments. The commission's recorded motions to recommend the two ordinances and to approve the plat amendment carried unanimously. The applicant, identified in the staff report as Todd Train of Millhaven, and Ackley Investments (Jeremy, property owner) will return with any future site plans and, if they pursue commercial development, will need to address required street and frontage improvements.
Ending: The commission forwarded its recommendations to the city council for final action and left the plat amendment approval contingent on the council’s Monday meeting.
