March 4, 2025, 4:00 p.m. · Lehi City Hall, 153 N. 100 East, Lehi
In a work session, UDOT outlined the 2100 North freeway project and flex lanes on Pioneer Crossing, and developers presented a revised mixed-use concept near the Weave building that cuts office space and adds retail and housing. Council members also discussed staffing for Family Park, which currently runs 98 hours a week at about $110,000 a year, and the attainable housing overlay with a $400,000 price cap. The only vote was approving purchase orders.

Item 3.a · Roads and utilities
UDOT update: 2100 North project
Discussed
UDOT's Andrew Jordan said the 2100 North project adds freeway lanes between the existing frontage roads, with grade separations at key cross streets, shared-use path improvements and a Jordan River crossing with a grade separation tied to the city trail network. The council discussed noise wall analysis and aesthetics, and preferred not to include optional betterments such as upgraded fencing because of their cost to the city.
Item 3.a · Roads and utilities
UDOT update: Pioneer Crossing flex lanes
Discussed
UDOT's Matt Parker said the project would remove the raised median and add flex lanes with extra lanes in the peak direction in the morning and evening, with outside lanes as through-right lanes. That would affect dedicated turn lanes at intersections and require extensive signage and lane control signals. Council questions covered sidewalks, phasing and coordination with other projects; UDOT said night work and maintained access would limit disruption.
Item 3.b · Development
Lehi Block mixed-use concept
Discussed
Gardner Group and Wasatch Group presented a revised concept near the Weave building with less office space and more retail and residential. Council members raised sewer, water, transportation and power capacity, the balance of residential and office uses, and the effect on units allowed in a future transit-oriented development area, and suggested some for-sale homes. They said more analysis is needed before changing the existing development agreement.
Item 3.c · Presentation
City department goals
Discussed
Assistant City Administrator Cameron Boyle presented goals from the budget retreat under the vision of a thriving, family-centered community, including regional transportation and transit, competitive staffing and wages, website and customer service improvements, code enforcement, and capital projects such as the downtown revitalization plan.
Item 3.d · Parks
Family Park staffing
Discussed
Parks Superintendent Steve Marchbanks said the park is staffed 98 hours a week, equal to 2.5 full-time employees at about $110,000 a year, to prevent vandalism, and that 24 employees maintain 900 acres of parks. Options included opening Sundays without staffing the splash pad or sharing staff with the Ivory Ridge splash pad, which raised concerns about divided attention. The council acknowledged the need for more staff, and the mayor agreed to look for funding.

Item 3.f · Zoning
Attainable housing overlay zone
Discussed
Planner Brittney Harris described an overlay limiting sale prices to under $400,000 for detached single-family homes on smaller lots with design requirements such as no garages. Council members asked how owner-occupancy would be enforced. Resident and home builder Jason Harris cautioned against over-regulating, which could make the price target unreachable. The council discussed adding flexibility for developers while keeping affordability and owner-occupancy.
