Lehi City Council listed more than a half-dozen action items on its amended agenda for the Nov. 10 meeting, headlined by a proposed update to the city's fire code and a previously tabled annexation request.

The regular session, scheduled for 7 p.m. at Lehi City Council Chambers, included Ordinance #51-2026, which would amend Lehi Municipal Code Title 10 Chapter 2 and adopt the 2024 International Fire Code and the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) Code.

The fire code item followed a work session presentation on proposed WUI amendments listed on the council's Nov. 9 agenda.

Why the fire code matters

Utah cities have been updating their wildfire rules to comply with state law. During the 2025 legislative session, lawmakers adopted HB 48, which required cities to adopt WUI codes and map local wildfire-risk zones. A follow-up bill, HB 41, passed during the 2026 session and updated the state's WUI standard from the 2006 Utah code to the 2024 International Wildland-Urban Interface Code.

At a Sept. 15 Alpine City Council meeting, Alpine city attorney Caden Lyon explained that the updated state requirements generally require areas on a local WUI map to meet or exceed a Smoothed Structure Exposure Score of 5, according to Alpine's meeting minutes. Lyon said the main reason for the update is so a city can receive state help in case of fire.

Lyon also said the WUI code applies to new construction. Existing homes would not be affected unless a property owner undertakes a remodel or addition, according to the Alpine minutes.

The state's updated WUI requirements are scheduled to take effect Jan. 1, 2027.

Annexation, zone change and development

The agenda also listed the Logan Annexation, a request to annex 2.68 acres at approximately 1300 South 1700 West with R-1-22 and TH-5 zoning. The item had been tabled at the Oct. 27 meeting. Petitioner Danny Logan's request included a public hearing, a resolution approving the annexation agreement and an ordinance approving the zoning.

Separately, the council listed the Jarvis Zone Change, Ordinance #52-2026, which would rezone 1.89 acres at approximately 1840 North 2300 West from A-5 (agricultural) to R-1-8 (residential). The petitioner is JDJ Investments LLC.

An update to the Clark Meadows Concept was also on the agenda. The 12-lot concept, petitioned by Matt Loveland, requests two lots of bonus density in lieu of reimbursement for project improvements near 1700 West and 1300 South.

Infrastructure and other items

Two consent-agenda resolutions addressed infrastructure. Resolution #2026-71 would approve an agreement with Cole Peck for construction of the Mill Pond Waterlines Phase II. Resolution #2026-70 would approve an interlocal cooperation agreement with Utah County for a pedestrian bridge over SR-92 at Center Street.

The agenda also included a public hearing on Resolution #2026-69, amending the city's consolidated fee schedule for Steinway piano rentals, recitals and maintenance. Ordinance #53-2026, a comprehensive update to the development code's definitions chapter, and Resolution #2026-74, appointing a member to the Metropolitan Water District Board of Trustees, rounded out the listed items.

No meeting results were available as of publication. The council meets at 131 N. 100 E. in Lehi. Agendas and meeting materials are posted on the city's Granicus page.
