APPLICABLE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE REGULATIONS Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) The purpose of the Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) classification is to provide for large-lot single-family residential areas and/or hobby farm developments. The overall neighborhood density is not to exceed 2.5 units per acre. Applicable Zoning District classifications, depending on the area, include R-1-15, RA-1, and R-1-22. APPLICABLE DEVELOPMENT CODE REGULATIONS 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. HISTORY March 13, 1992 – This property was a part of the Paul Peterson Addition Annexation. December 14, 2004 – The Colony Pointe Plat A subdivision was approved by the City Council and included this property. This lot, Lot 45A, was not included as a part of the PUD (see excerpt from the plat to the right).

ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting an amendment to the Zone District Map from A-1 to R-1-15. The property is currently an undeveloped lot, and the applicant has indicated that they intend to subdivide the property for future 15,000 square feet residential lots, similar to the adjacent Colony Point Plat C lots. The requested zoning is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map designations of Very Low Density Residential (VLDR). Since the property is less than 2 acres in size, the General Plan allows this property to be zoned RA-1. As a condition of recording the zone change ordinance, and prior to submission of a preliminary subdivision application, the owner/developer needs to complete the required water dedication for the applicable zone. ACTION/RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Division staff recommends a POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION to the City Council for the proposed zone change including all the DRC comments. This recommendation is based on the following findings: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The proposed zones are in line with the character of the surrounding area. The proposed zone change is consistent with the goals and policies of the General Plan. The proposed zones are consistent and compatible with the zoning of the developments east and west of the property. The proposed change is consistent and compatible with the General Plan land uses of nearby and adjoining properties. ssThe proposed change will not unduly affect the uses, or proposed uses for nearby and adjoining properties. The proposed change does not affect the health, safety, and welfare of the City.

Lehi City Development Review Committee

March 9, 2016 Kirk Bailey Zone Change DRC Redline Comments

Kirk Bailey – Requests review of a Zone Change on approximately 1.03 acres of property located at 1948 West 900 North changing the zoning designation from A-1 to R-1-15. DRC Members Present: Glade Kirkham, Kerry Evans, Greg Allred, Kim Struthers, Gary Smith, Mike Howell, Ross Dinsdale, Craig Barratt Representatives of the Applicant: Mike Carlton Date of Plans Reviewed: 3/7/16 Time Start: 12:20 PM Time End: 12:25 PM DRC COMMENTS: Consistency with the elements of the Lehi City General Plan. This area has a Low Density Residential (LDR) designation on the General Plan. As per the General Plan Land Use Text: Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) The purpose of the Very Low Density Residential (VLDR) classification is to provide for large-lot single-family residential areas and/or hobby farm developments. The overall neighborhood density is not to exceed 2.5 units per acre. Applicable Zoning District classifications, depending on the area, include R-1-15, RA-1, and R-1-22. Effect of the proposed amendment on the existing goals, objectives, and policies of the Lehi City General Plan. From the Lehi City General Plan Land Use Element the following goals and policies related to residential development should be considered: 1. The Residential Districts of the City are intended to provide a range of housing choices to meet the needs of Lehi City residents. 2. Offer a balance of housing types and densities. 3. Preserve and maintain the City’s residential areas as safe and convenient places to live. DRC GENERAL COMMENTS: 1. As a condition of recording the zone change ordinance, and prior to the preliminary subdivision application being scheduled for Planning Commission, the owner/developer needs to complete the required water dedication for the RA-1 Zone. For the RA-1 Zone, the rate is 1.13 acre feet per acre of culinary water and 2.56 acre feet per acre of irrigation water. 2. Because the property is less than 2 acres in size, this change to the RA-1 Zone is consistent with the General Plan designation of VLDRA. THIS ITEM WILL BE SCHEDULED FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ON APRIL 14, 2016.
