APPLICABLE DEVELOPMENT CODE REGULATIONS Section 11.010. Concept Plan – Applicability: The Concept Plan gives the applicant, staff, Planning Commission and City Council an opportunity to discuss the project in the conceptual stage. The applicant can use the Concept Plan meeting to receive direction on project layout as well as discuss the procedure for approval, the specifications and requirements that may be required for layout of streets, drainage, water, sewerage, fire protection, and similar matters prior to the preparation of a more detailed preliminary subdivision plat. HISTORY March 8, 2016 – The City Council approved a General Plan Land Use Map Amendment from VLDRA to LDR February 10, 1999 – This property was annexed as a part of the Lehi West Crossroads Annexation to an A-5 Zone. ANALYSIS The applicant requests approval of a concept plan for a single family residential subdivision in a proposed R-1-Flex zone. This is a standard subdivision, with no PRD/PUD overlay. The lots and density conform to the requirements of the R-1-Flex zone for a property of less than 10 acres, which is a maximum density of 3.25 units per acre. This proposed concept has a density of 2.8 units per acre, which is less than the maximum allowed density. Upon DRC review, it was noted that a roadway should be stubbed to the west for future development of adjacent properties and to eliminate the need for accesses onto Main Street, and to provide better connectivity through neighborhoods. A zone change to R-1-Flex has been filed concurrently with this application

ACTION/RECOMMENDATIONS The Planning Division staff recommends a POSITIVE RECOMMENDATION to the City Council for the proposed Hadfield Phase 2 concept plan including the DRC comments. This recommendation is based on the following findings: 1. The applicant has filed a zone change to R-1-Flex which is in line with the property’s General Plan designation. 2. The proposed layout meets the requirements of the proposed R-1-Flex zone 3. The proposed concept is consistent with the Lehi City Development Code 4. The proposed concept conforms to the goals and policies of the General Plan. 5. The proposed concept does not affect the health, safety, welfare, and morals of the City. The Planning Commission may recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the concept plan. Please remember to include findings as a part of the motion. The Planning Commission may also advise the applicant of specific changes or additions, if any that would be required in the layout as a prerequisite to the approval of the site plan.
