Skye Area Plan amendment, Mixed Use 1 unit range
Recommended for approval · 4-1
DR Horton, which is buying about 38 acres and residential units held by Gardner Group, asked to raise the allowed range in Mixed Use Area 1 from 517 to as many as 627 equivalent residential units and to convert four nonresidential ERUs to residential, without raising Inverness's overall total. Scott Bishop said the change would move about 198 townhomes from upper Inverness to land near SR-92 and swap some upper-area townhomes for single-family homes. Staff said this could reduce hillside units and local road congestion. No public comment. The commission recommended approval 4-1.
- Applicant: DR Horton (Scott Bishop)
- Mixed Use 1: 517 → up to 627 ERUs
- 4 ERUs nonresidential → residential

Skye Area Plan second amendment, adding 883 acres and 300 residential units (Ordinance 56-2023)
Approved with conditions · 5-0
Scott Bishop of D.R. Horton said Texas Instruments had asked for adjustments listed in Exhibit A, that a well and booster pump stations for the water system had been drilled or built, and that D.R. Horton had paid for long-lead items and expected UDOT permit revisions on Center Street connectivity to SR-92 in 30 to 60 days. Staff, including City Administrator Jason Walker and Water Manager Greg Allred, said infrastructure might not keep pace with both the project and Texas Instruments' needs and recommended proceeding with caution. Council Members Southwick, Hancock and Condie asked about water timing, Center Street and church-parcel restrictions. Brian Debotelho, speaking for himself and five residents, asked that a 14-foot unkept open-space strip called the 'Bermuda Triangle' become residential so adjoining owners could maintain it. Council Member Koivisto's motion removed 60 residential units (ERUs), directed staff and the applicant to work on Exhibit A, kept the church language unchanged and required the strip to be dedicated to the city.
- Acres added: 883
- Residential units added: 300 (60 ERU units removed by motion)
- Applicant: D.R. Horton (Scott Bishop)
- Condition: Bermuda Triangle strip dedicated to Lehi City

Skye Area Plan amending the Micron Area Plan (Ordinance 46-2022)
Approved with conditions · 4-0
DR Horton's representative said the plan had only minor changes from the concept plan and that the dedicated open space next to Draper would go into a conservation easement. Texas Instruments asked that up to 60% of its buffer be available for solar panels and storage while keeping a 500-foot buffer from homes. Two residents spoke at the hearing. Rob Ludlow raised the lack of a public park and of Development Review Committee comments; Lindsay Gehman raised open space, schools, traffic numbers and fire evacuation. The council approved the plan with conditions: the entitlement was reduced from 2,436 to 1,751 ERUs; the developer must work with Alpine School District on infrastructure and bus-grade roads; 20% of the TI buffer may have any use in the use table, 40% solar only and 40% native; staff must work with the developer on buffer alignment; the traffic study must be updated; and the developer must work with Parks on open space near SR-92. Council Member Chris Condie voiced concern about usable buffer south of the TI building toward SR-92.
