APPLICABLE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE REGULATIONS This area has a Low Density Residential (LDR) land use designation on the General Plan map. As per the General Plan Land Use text: Low Density Residential (LDR) The Low Density Residential (LDR) classification provides for predominantly single family residential areas and single family dwelling units with an overall neighborhood density not to exceed 4 units per acre. For the efficient implementation of this General Plan Land Use category, and to achieve the goals of the General Plan, the City has created the Flex Zone, which provides a diversity of lot sizes and promotes diversification and stability of neighborhoods. The applicable Zoning District classifications are R-1-12 and R-1-Flex. In cases where a parcel of property is immediately adjacent to existing R-1-10 or R-1-8 Zoning on at least 3 sides, the City may allow zoning/re-zoning of the parcel to an R-1-8 or R-1-10 Zone based on the contiguous zoning. APPLICABLE DEVELOPMENT CODE REGULATIONS From Section 04.060 Criteria for Approval, of the Lehi City Development Code, the Planning Commission should consider the following factors, among others, when reviewing a zone amendment: 1. The effect of the proposed amendment on the character of the surrounding area; 2. Consistency with the goals and policies of the General Plan; 3. Consistency and compatibility of the proposed zone with the General Plan land uses of nearby and adjoining properties; 4. The suitability of the properties for the uses requested and their suitability for the existing uses identified by the General Plan; 5. Whether a change in the uses allowed for the affected properties will unduly affect the uses, or proposed uses for nearby and adjoining properties; 6. The gain to the public health, safety, and welfare from the existing classification to the proposed amendment; and 7. The overall community benefit of the proposed amendment.
