Tabled
Pioneering agreement letting developer AFEW1 LLC recover costs of off-site 200 South road and utility improvements serving the Edgewater North and The Yard subdivisions from benefiting neighbors.

Road project
700 South (620 South) road
Recommended
New east-west collector at the TOD's southern boundary. The council adopted a cross section with raised one-way cycle tracks and no on-street parking in May 2020 (4-1, Carroll no), revised it in June, and approved a reimbursement agreement with Woodside Homes for improvements.
Zone change
Lone Automotive
In review
A car-wrap business owner asked the Planning Commission to treat an auto dealership as a use similar to those allowed in the GC-1 zone. Staff said dealerships belong in GC-2 and a gateway rezone is planned; the commission denied the request 7-0 on Aug. 19.
Public project
Fitness Center renovation
Proposed
About $4 million in repairs and reconfiguration of the 33-year-old Fitness Center, funded from general fund balance. Options would scale back or relocate the in-house Twisters gymnastics program, drawing heavy public opposition in June 2026.
Public project

Proposed
New neighborhood park (referred to in budget documents as Lakeview Park) on about 7 acres at the southeast corner of 620 South and 800 West, bordered on the east by the future 700 West extension, with a preliminary $4 million budget from park impact fees and $185,000 in PARC tax for a Phase 1 restroom and playground.

In review
City-owned property at about 825 South 900 West for which the council held a public hearing on Sept. 23, 2025 to declare it surplus; no one commented. The minutes do not give its size, intended buyer or use, or record the final action; the agenda packet (over 50 MB) could not be retrieved. It sits in the 700 West-900 West, 800 South-900 South area where the city later traded land with UDOT for the 700 West extension and declared other parcels surplus.

Updates the TOD block-type and district maps in Section 17.4.608 to match the road network. Recommended 5-0 Aug. 20, 2025.
Area or general plan
Meadow View Ranch
Recommended
Unincorporated land proposed for medium-density housing ahead of annexation. A 71.23-acre request including church-owned land drew a 4-3 recommendation for denial April 16, 2025; a smaller 25.37-acre version was recommended 4-1 on July 16, 2025 with a 5.87-units-per-acre cap. The land later reappeared in the Buckwalter Meadow View Ranch 2 annexation petition (slug american-fork-buckwalter-meadow-view-ranch-2-annexation in the council file).

Public project
ADA transition plan
Proposed
A federally required plan to identify and schedule fixes for accessibility deficiencies in city facilities and rights-of-way, announced Aug. 8, 2023.
Road project
FrontRunner/I-15 flyover (Meadows to 1020 West)
Proposed
Long-discussed overpass to connect the fast-growing area west of I-15 and the FrontRunner TOD to the rest of American Fork. A 2015 study with UDOT, UTA and Union Pacific stalled; in late 2022 the city sought state funding, with design and right-of-way protection estimated at $5 million-$6 million.
Development agreement
Egg Farm Economic Development Area
In review
Economic development area in which developer Reed Bromley is reimbursed for infrastructure from tax increment. A 2013 second amendment set interest at 2.5%; in November 2022 Bromley asked the council to restore 5% for 2002-2013, while staff said remaining EDA capital projects face a shortfall.
Public project
North County Equestrian Park takeover
Proposed
Proposal for American Fork, Lehi and Highland to take over operation of the Utah County-owned equestrian park to keep it from being sold for development, at roughly $80,000 a year split among the cities.
Road project
I-15 flyover/overpass at 1020 West
Proposed
A proposed overpass/flyover connecting The Meadows area and Pioneer Crossing at 1020 West, estimated in 2021 at about $60 million and involving the city, UDOT, UTA and possibly Woodbury Corporation. City leaders sought state funding help from legislators in November 2021.
Code change
TOD ground-floor commercial requirement
Tabled
Crescent Communities proposed limiting the TOD transit core's 25% ground-floor commercial requirement to collector streets, roughly halving retail in its 370-unit project. City staff said commercial space is central to a planned CRA to fund 200 South; the council discussed it Sept. 21, 2021, without reaching consensus.
Public project
Kester parcel near the boat harbor
Proposed
Possible city purchase of a 4.2-acre partly wet parcel for trails and wetland mitigation; an appraisal was pending in October 2020.
Road project
Central Corridor bus rapid transit study
Proposed
UDOT/MAG/UTA study, to which American Fork contributed about $9,000, recommending bus rapid transit along the rail corridor through Lehi and American Fork toward Provo. Presented Oct. 6, 2020.
Area or general plan
Parks level of service and south-side parks
Proposed
Staff said the city has 4.54 acres of parks per 1,000 residents against a 6.25-acre standard, needing 57 acres now and 187 more by 2030, roughly $17 million in land now. Discussed Sept. 15, 2020.
Annexation
American Fork South Stake Annexation
In review
Proposed annexation of 4.307 acres; public hearing Jan. 14, 2020 with no comments.
Road project
300 West and 200 South roundabout
Completed
The city built a roundabout at 300 West and 200 South to improve access to the UTA FrontRunner station for American Fork commuters. It ties into a roundabout already designed on the south side of I-15 at the West Frontage Road and 200 South (7750 North), and includes pedestrian access, wayfinding, striping and signage. The road reopened to traffic on Sept. 25, 2026.
Road project
Pony Express Parkway
Approved
The extension would connect Lehi's existing Pony Express Parkway (1900 South) to American Fork's 700 West, creating a new east-west route. MAG approved $12 million, with $1 million available for design and $11 million not released until 2027; right-of-way will be bought for an eventual five-lane road but only two lanes would be built first. American Fork approved a 50-50 interlocal agreement on Aug. 12, 2025: each city pays half of a 6.77% local match (about $858,687 total; about $429,344 for American Fork), Lehi buys right-of-way west of the city line and AF east of it. AF officials worried about dumping traffic onto 700 West before connecting roads exist, and the endangered Ute ladies'-tresses orchid could delay or alter the route; AF's public works director said being shovel-ready in 2027 would be 'really aggressive.'
Zone change
Timpview Logistics Center
Approved
Industrial project on about 21.5 acres; the council adjusted the PF/PI-1 zone boundary in January 2024 and again June 25 to align with the planned Deer Park Drive right-of-way after the first approval lapsed.
Code change
Detached accessory dwelling unit ordinance
Approved
New rules required by state law allowing backyard homes on single-family lots of 11,000 square feet or more, with parking, setback, materials, owner-occupancy and 90-day minimum rental standards.

Approved
Residential subdivision next to wetlands; the council approved a sidewalk cross-section variance May 9, 2023 to reduce wetland impacts.
Public project
Fire Station 53
Under construction
Third fire station for the south side of the city, initially in an existing home leased from UDOT while the city works on a property trade; staffing nine new firefighters costs about $1.4 million a year, partly funded by a proposed 9% property tax increase. A permanent station costing $20-30 million could go to a bond vote around 2028.
Code change
Sidewalk maintenance code amendment (Section 12.12.030)
Approved
Makes property owners responsible for cleaning sidewalks along front, side and rear frontages (Section 12.12.030). Recommended 4-0 Dec. 3, 2025; adopted by the council in September 2026.
Site plan

Approved
Site improvements at the existing National GMC dealership in the GC-2 zone, including eliminating a required landscape strip along the I-15 wall to gain pavement and fire access. Approved 7-0 by the Planning Commission Sept. 16.
Zone change
American Fork Hotel zone change
Approved
A planned 122-room Woodspring Suites extended-stay hotel in the GC-2 zone near I-15 sought to build 129 parking stalls rather than the 153 required. The Planning Commission recommended denial 5-2 on Aug. 19, but the City Council approved the reduction 5-0 on Sept. 8; a site plan and traffic study are still required.
Annexation
Chipman/Stake Center annexation
Approved
Stakeholders' annexation of about 24 acres along 700 South and the American Fork River for the Chipman Estates subdivision, zoned PR-3.0 Planned Residential, with a 10-foot shared-use path along the river.

Development agreement
City land sale near 700 South 100 West
Approved
About 6.5 acres of surplus city land; notice of intent to sell on the July 14 agenda and sale to Love and Chipman for $1.4 million approved Sept. 8 with a covenant dedicating land for roads and the American Fork River corridor.
Area or general plan
General plan update
Approved
Two-year rewrite of the city's general plan covering land use, transportation, moderate-income housing, development focus areas, parks and trails, public facilities and water, and historic preservation. Staff scaled back land-use changes after a large February hearing; the Planning Commission recommended it 7-0 Aug. 19 and the council adopted it 5-0 Sept. 8.
Code change
Park strip and street tree code
Approved
Full rewrite of Chapter 12.16 governing trees in park strips, with approved and prohibited tree lists, planting distances, width standards allowing small trees in 4-foot strips, a grandfather clause and expanded enforcement. Reviewed by the Planning Commission Sept. 2 and adopted by the council Sept. 8.
Public project

Road project
700 North / 200 East improvements
Approved
Road and utility improvements around 700 North and 200 East. In 2024 the city bought land from Sonya Laney (May 28) and a 6-square-foot slope and utility easement from Anita Gibson (June 25); the 700 North connector design was complete with bids pending.
Subdivision
Bridges at Fox Hollow
Under construction
Conservation subdivision next to Fox Hollow Golf Course in the PR-3.0 zone. In 2024 the council approved a performance-in-lieu agreement with Bridge Haven (February), a revised development agreement adding three lots in place of a clubhouse (September) and side setback reductions (November).
Road project
Lakeshore Drive
Approved
The FY2027 budget names Lakeshore Drive among $51.8 million of road and public works improvements. In 2025 AF's public works director described a proposed Lake Shore Drive extension as an additional east-west connection to be built alongside the Pony Express Parkway extension. Limits, cost and schedule have not been published.
Public project
Public works facility
Approved
New public works building (Phase 1, north side of the 200 North campus) financed with Local Building Authority lease revenue bonds. The council authorized up to $50 million on Dec. 9, 2025, then on Jan. 13, 2026 capped the bonds at $40 million (staff had sought $45.25 million) after Councilmembers Holley and Taylor objected to a 45,000-square-foot design. Phase 2 for south-side garages would need a separate bond. WPA Architecture was proposed as designer in July 2026.
Annexation
Earl Annexation
Approved
Annexation of 10.91 acres in the TOD East Neighborhood Edge area between existing single-family neighborhoods. Petition accepted July 14; at an Aug. 4 work session Century Communities showed a 90-townhome concept (about 8 units per acre), which most council members said was too dense, asking for more detached homes near 7 units per acre. Requires right-of-way for 330 South, 200 South and 570 West.
Code change
Easements code amendment (Section 15.01.110)
Approved
Changes Section 15.01.110 to drop side-lot public utility easements while keeping 10-foot front and 5-foot rear easements. Recommended 4-0 Dec. 3, 2025; a version was adopted by the council in July 2026.
Code change

Code change
Natural gas regulator stations in PF zone (AF014)
Approved
Code amendment requested by Questar Gas allowing natural gas regulator stations in the Public Facilities zone. The council adopted them as a conditional use with screening, wall and height standards (Ordinance 2026-07-16) plus a narrow definition (2026-07-17) on July 28, rather than the permitted use the planning commission recommended.
Road project
Overlay Project 2026
Under construction
Mill-and-overlay of three streets: the top two inches of asphalt are milled and replaced, with pedestrian-ramp and curb-and-gutter improvements. Bids opened June 25, 2026 (project ST2026003) against an engineer's estimate of $647,310. Low bid was JKT LLC at $592,145.45, followed by Asphalt Construction & Excavating Co. at $606,289.75; nine firms bid, up to $814,058.
Road project
100 West improvements, 100 North to 700 North
Under construction
Phase 1 replaces utilities under 100 West from 100 North to 700 North: new water lines, sewer pipe replacement on certain blocks and storm-drain improvements. Work next to Shelley Elementary was scheduled between May 26 and Aug. 1. Phase 2 in 2027 adds curb, gutter, sidewalk and roadway improvements. An earlier segment, 100 West from 300 South to 700 South, was rebuilt with water-line replacement and completed in September 2025 for $1.96 million.
Road project
200 South widening (Patriot Station CRA)
Approved
The city will reconstruct 200 South between Mill Pond Road and 570 West, widening portions near the FrontRunner station to two travel lanes in each direction with turn lanes at key intersections and a multi-use trail from Mill Pond Road to I-15. Phase 1, a roundabout at the Frontage Road with improvements to about 570 West, is complete. For Phase 2 the city reported in February 2025 that CRA funding had been secured and that it is working with property owners on right-of-way acquisition while final design proceeds. The FY2027 budget lists 200 South among $51.8 million in road and public works improvements, and on Aug. 25, 2026 the council considered a pioneering agreement with AFEW1 LLC (Edgewater North development) for system improvements along 200 South.
Road project
700 North Connection
Approved
A new road will connect 700 North between 100 East and 200 East, with a traffic signal at 700 North/100 East and a roundabout at 700 North/200 East. The city says it will improve connectivity, relieve arterials such as 300 North and improve school-travel safety on 700 North. Design is in its final phase but pending right-of-way acquisition; power-pole relocations are being planned and water and storm-drain designs are coordinated with UDOT. The FY2027 budget lists 700 North among its road projects, and the Aug. 25, 2026 consent agenda included a reimbursement agreement for 247 East 700 North.
Zone change
American Fork Townhomes land use amendment and zone change
Approved
Change of two parcels from the Planned Community land use designation to Design Commercial, with a matching rezone, for flex office/storage ('retail flex') space. The Planning Commission recommended it 7-0 on June 3, 2026; the City Council later approved it.
Public project
Dixie Well
Approved
City culinary water well site on the west side. The land use designation changes from Residential Very-Low Density to Institutional/Public Facilities and the zone from PR-3.0 to PF; site design, screening and the well building come later in a site plan. Recommended 7-0 by the Planning Commission June 3, 2026, and approved by the council.
Code change
Land use code rewrite
Approved
Comprehensive rewrite of the city's land development code by consultant Cherylyn Egner, cutting it from more than 800 to about 530 pages and moving administrative approvals to the Development Review Committee with the Planning Commission as appeal authority, as required by state law.
Area or general plan
Polycentric City Master Plan and Transit Circulator Study
Approved
MAG- and city-funded plan by MHTN Architects, Horrocks and Alta Planning organizing growth around six activity centers, with transit (microtransit first, circulator later) and trail corridors including a Rail Trail, American Fork River Trail and Spring Creek Trail.
Subdivision
High Pointe apartments (Lake City Row Phase 2)
Approved
Bach Homes apartments and townhomes (High Pointe, northwest part of Phase 2; Bach also controls the northeast part, Summit) in the Lake City Row planned community created by the 2019 Vest annexation, north of 620 South. The annexation agreement requires 100 square feet of commercial space per home across 1,058 entitled units, with commercial built ahead of residential phases; the DRC denied the plat in August 2025 for lacking the commercial element. After a Sept. 30, 2025 hearing, the council on Nov. 11, 2025 reversed the denial 3-2 (Holley and Hunter opposed), saying the decision sets no precedent for other phases. Written findings adopted Dec. 9, 2025.
Site plan
Climb Concrete
Approved
Concrete business site plan on about 5 acres in the I-1 Industrial zone, approved 5-0 April 22, 2026.

Road project
700 West extension
Approved
The city plans to extend 700 West between 620 South and 800 South, partly on land it is getting from UDOT in a parcel exchange at about 700 West 620 South. The council adopted a resolution of intent on Jan. 27, 2026, which Councilmember Ernie John said secures the connector corridor, access through Lakeshore Drive and the Fire Station 53 site; the Utah Transportation Commission approved it Feb. 20, 2026. In return the city gives UDOT land along a possible future limited-access east-west highway (the Vineyard Connector alternative from 1900 South in Lehi to I-15 along the power line). A later cooperative agreement says 900 West would never get a signal at that highway and could be restricted or closed as it widens, while the 700 West extension would get a signal. On March 24, 2026, the council declared city land near 700 West 900 South surplus for transfer to UDOT. At the February 2026 budget retreat staff listed a MAG funding request of about $5.05 million to build 700 West from the Pony Express Parkway north to 200 South as a TOD major arterial.
Annexation
Buckwalter Meadow View Ranch 2 Annexation
Approved
Refiled petition to annex about 96.4 acres south of the city; an earlier version was denied because it would have left an unincorporated island. Petition accepted March 24, 2026. Related: on Aug. 12, 2025 the council (4-1, Hunter opposed) changed the land use map for about 25.37 acres of the Meadow View Ranch area near 800 South 100 East (county address 7058 N. 5750 W.) from low to medium density residential ahead of annexation.
