Lehi's Planning Commission will consider 13 development and zoning items at a public hearing Thursday, Aug. 13, including a 10-lot subdivision that stalled in July and the Walker family's reworked proposal for commercial development on State Street.
The hearing begins at 7 p.m. at the Lehi Civic Center Council Chambers, 131 North 100 East.
Vivian Estates 5B returns
JDH Development's request for the Vivian Estates 5B preliminary subdivision, a 10-lot single-family project near 600 East and 300 East, was tabled at the Thursday, July 9 Planning Commission meeting and returns Aug. 13. No reason for the tabling appears in public records.
The broader Vivian Estates Phase 5 project has been moving through Lehi's approval process since early 2026. The Planning Commission recommended the zone change on the 11.58-acre site at approximately 2125 North 600 East on Feb. 26, and the City Council approved it March 24 as Ordinance #12-2026, changing the zoning from TH-5 (Transitional Holding) to RA-1 (Residential/Agriculture).
Walker development agreement
The Estate of Nancy Walker is bringing a development agreement for 2.581 acres at 915 W. State Street, a direct follow-up to the City Council's July 14 denial of the family's request to rezone the property from residential to heavy commercial.
Nearly 25 neighbors opposed the outright rezone at that meeting, citing truck traffic concerns near Trinnaman Lane, which already handles congestion from HADCO Construction and a UTA park-and-ride. Council member Emily Lockhart suggested a developer agreement at the July 14 meeting to narrow permitted uses.
"We are happy to come back to the table with an agreement," Debbie Walker told Lehi Free Press on July 23, after the council's denial. "No matter what happens, change is coming to Lehi. We can't stop it, it's happening."
The Planning Commission will make a recommendation on the agreement; final approval rests with the City Council.
