Planning commission approves Battle Creek Plaza site plan and preliminary subdivision
Summary
The Lindon Planning Commission approved site‑plan and preliminary major subdivision applications for Battle Creek Plaza, allowing 92,600 sq ft of office/warehouse space across four buildings and preliminarily subdividing the property into 56 condominium units, subject to conditions for landscaping, engineering corrections and recordation documents.
The Lindon Planning Commission on June 9 approved site‑plan and preliminary subdivision applications for Battle Creek Plaza, a multi‑building office and warehouse development proposed by Westland Development. Staff said the project would create 92,600 square feet of office and warehouse space across four buildings, provide 319 parking stalls where 211 are required, and include a seven‑foot masonry wall and landscaping to buffer adjacent residential properties.
"The project exceeds the minimum parking requirement by providing 319 parking stalls," staff said, and recommended approval subject to corrections. During its presentation staff flagged several plan items that must be resolved before final approval, including tree counts for interior parking‑lot landscaping, street‑tree spacing, and photometric calculations to document light impacts. Staff also said rooftop and ground‑mounted mechanical equipment must be screened from public view.
Applicant Troy Dana and city staff said the development will be condominiumized, with phase one comprising buildings A and B (26 units) and phase two comprising buildings C and D (30 units), for a total of 56 office/warehouse condominium units. Staff told commissioners the plat totals about 6.83 acres and includes required cross‑access, utility, pedestrian and emergency access easements.
Neighbors asked about landscape buffering and the placement of the masonry wall adjacent to the trail; staff clarified the wall will be on the north side of the trail and that landscaping will be installed on both sides to soften the transition to residential yards. One commissioner asked whether the 8 West driveway was too close to a nearby stop sign and whether that could cause queuing; staff said the city engineer will review driveway distance and circulation as part of final engineering review.
The commission moved to approve the site plan with conditions that require final engineering corrections, compliance with the Lindon City Development Manual and Title 17 zoning standards, screening of mechanical equipment, and satisfaction of all items in the staff report. The commission also approved preliminary subdivision platting with standard conditions — final interior condominium elevations, finalized CC&Rs and bylaws with notarized signatures prior to recording, and any plat corrections required by staff.
The applicant indicated a desire to begin site work as soon as staff reviews and permits are complete and said they hope to begin construction before the end of summer.
Actions at a glance: the commission approved the site plan and granted preliminary subdivision approval for Battle Creek Plaza, both subject to the staff‑recommended conditions and final technical corrections.
