Lindon council approves general‑plan and zoning changes to allow Alexander Print expansion
Summary
Council unanimously approved a general‑plan amendment and zoning map change to permit a 50–60,000 sq. ft. office‑warehouse at 377 S. 800 W, allowing local business Alexander Print to expand in Lindon under regional commercial design standards.
Lindon — The City Council unanimously approved two related land‑use actions to allow a proposed office‑warehouse at 377 South 800 West.
Planning staff described the request to change the general‑plan designation from flex office to flex commercial and to rezone the parcel from Research & Business to Regional Commercial. Planning staff said the regional commercial zone contains design standards (façade articulation and a requirement for a high percentage of glass along street frontages) intended to produce a campus‑like commercial appearance.
Applicant Jeff Alexander told the council his family’s printing and fulfillment business has outgrown its current facility and wants to build a 50–60,000 square foot office‑warehouse to remain in Lindon. He said the building would include landscaping, frontage improvements and a design that could be subdivided into smaller office‑warehouse units if needed.
Council members asked about the risk that, if the Alexanders later sell, a different owner might build a lower‑quality warehouse. Staff noted the regional commercial zone’s design standards and the existing streetscape improvements in the area that will help preserve high building and landscape standards.
Councilmember Hoyt moved to approve ordinance 2025‑10‑O amending the general plan; Councilmember Stewart moved later to approve ordinance 2025‑11‑O for the zoning map amendment. Both motions passed unanimously by voice vote. Staff said the planning commission had given a unanimous recommendation in favor of the changes.
