The Lehi City Council denied a request to rezone 12.8 acres at 600 South 600 East from low-density residential to commercial and heavy commercial at its Oct. 13 meeting, and the vote was not unanimous, the Lehi Free Press reported. The Peck family has owned the land for 50 years and used it for its trucking and mining-support businesses. [1] The city's notice of the Planning Commission's Sept. 24 public hearing described Cole Peck's request as a general plan amendment for property at about 600 South 600 East, changing the designation from low-density residential to commercial and heavy commercial. [2]
About 30 residents attended to oppose the change, citing traffic on 300 South, which lacks sidewalks and which students use to walk to school, along with light and noise. Supporters, including a nearby business owner, said small contractors and trucking companies need places to park and store equipment. A representative for the family said they were not asking for a blanket rezoning and offered 30-foot setbacks. [1]
The council voted to deny the rezone and have the owners work on a development agreement. Council member Heather Newall said that approach lets commercial uses through by another route, and Emily Lockhart objected to the motion as well. In 2024 the council voted 4-1 to table an earlier request. The owners will bring a development agreement to a future meeting, where residents can comment. [1]
