Required Action Planning Commission: Review and Recommendation City Council: Final Approval APPLICABLE DEVELOPMENT CODE REGULATIONS Section 11.080. Preliminary Plat Approval Process. The review and approval process for a Preliminary Subdivision Plat is identified in the appendix of this code, including review by the Development Review Committee, review and recommendation following a public hearing by the Planning Commission and review and approval by the City Council. Section 11.100. Effect of Preliminary Subdivision Plat Approval. A preliminary subdivision plat shall not authorize the development of land. After a preliminary subdivision plat has been approved by the City Council, the applicant may file an application for final subdivision plat approval. HISTORY The Planning Commission reviewed a General Plan Amendment on this property requesting a change to a Commercial designation with no concurrent concept plan application. The commission issued a negative recommendation and the applicant withdrew their application before the scheduled May 12, 2015 City Council meeting. Mar 2, 2016: The DRC reviewed another General Plan Amendment on this property requesting a change to a Commercial designation. The change was proposed with a concept plan for a proposed Maverick gas station and convenience store. After the applicant held several public meetings with the neighboring property owners, the application was withdrawn before it could be scheduled for Planning Commission. June 21, 2016: The Anderson Annexation was recorded bringing this property into Lehi City with TH-5 zoning. Nov 10, 2016: The Utah Military Academy’s Concept Plan was denied. The motion for denial was as follows: Apr 23, 2015:
Commissioner Hutchings moved to deny Mike Glauser’s request for approval of the Utah Military Academy concept, a public charter school to be located on the northwest corner of Center Street and Pioneer Crossing in a proposed R-1-22 (residential/agriculture) zone; citing the concerns that the Commission has with the public health, safety, and welfare; noting that there were several concerns that were brought up and discussed that factored into the decision; the first being that Meadow Elementary is a non-bussing school and that the children walking to that school would be impacted by the traffic that this proposed school would create; also finding that the applicant has not shown that they have reasonable access and stacking ability on Center Street coming in from Pioneer Crossing without using the neighborhood; and finding that putting the traffic of 380 cars in the morning and about the same in the afternoon through a neighborhood would cause undo affects to that neighborhood and would endanger their

health safety and welfare; also that the traffic in that neighborhood would unduly affect the character of the neighborhood and change their ability to enjoy their lifestyles right now because of things that would be going on; also finding that the size of the acreage for this school is inadequate, especially on the corner of Center and Pioneer Crossing because of the non-access from Pioneer and there’s not enough frontage on Center Street to allow a reasonable access without causing undo stress in the neighborhood. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Hemmert. Dec 13, 2016: The Anderson zone change was approved by City Council from TH-5 to R-1-22. March 14, 2017 – The Lehi Ranches Plat D concept plan was approved by City Council with the following motion: Councilor Hancock moved to grant Concept Plan approval for Lehi Ranches Plat D, a 10 lot residential subdivision located at the northwest corner of Pioneer Crossing and Center street in an approved R-1-22 zone; direct staff to work closely with the Boyer Company to accommodate as much of the framework that has been outlined as possible. Councilor Albrecht seconded the motion. ANALYSIS The applicant is requesting approval of a preliminary and final 10-lot residential subdivision, The Estates at Lehi Ranches. The proposed development is approximate 5.41 acres. The lots vary in size from 13,100 square feet to 22,100 square feet, with a density of 1.85 units/acre. On March 14, 2017, the City Council approved a concept that included additional density and reduced frontages for this project. The DRC indicated that the applicant would need to obtain approval from Spring Creek Irrigation Company for the project’s 36” irrigation ditch, and that the water design would need to be changed as per water department direction. Additionally, private easements will need to be marked for possible future land drain needs. Please consider all DRC comments as part of the motion. ACTION/RECOMMENDATIONS Planning staff recommends a POSITIVE recommendation to the City Council for a preliminary subdivision, The Estates at Lehi Ranches, including the DRC comments from May 17, 2017. This recommendation is based on the following findings: 1. The proposed subdivision is not detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of Lehi City. 2. The proposed subdivision meets the requirements of the Lehi City Development Code in regards to subdivision approvals. 3. Other findings based upon information presented at the public hearing.
