393. Agenda Review40

Mayor Johnson reviewed the agenda. He stated that Item #9 will be heard after Item #12. 41Councilor Condie inquired about the purchase order to Mountainland for software. Dave 42Norman stated that is for the software the Water Department uses to read the water meters. 43

44Ordinance #16-2018 adding provisions for Accessory Dwelling Units was discussed. 45Councilor Albrecht inquired if they could delete the outside light requirement. Councilor 46Condie discussed the 8,000 square foot lot requirement. Kim Struthers stated that the Planning 47Commission recommended reducing the allowed lot size from 10,000 to 8,000 square feet. He 48 9

Lehi City Council Meeting 2 February 13, 2018

reported that staff asked to remove the wording “not in tandem” in regard to parking. The 49Planning Commission wanted to keep that wording in as they only wanted side by side parking. 50

51Councilor Condie inquired if the owner sells the home, would the new owner need to re-apply 52for the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) permit. Mr. Struthers replied that they would as the 53Planning Commission wanted to know who the current owner is. Councilor Condie inquired 54if they stated that the permit was in perpetuity, could the City hold the future homeowners to 55that. Ryan Wood replied that the language in the Code should be enough for the City to enforce56the ordinance. Councilor Hancock wondered if there was a public safety aspect to knowing 57who the new owners are. Police Chief, Darren Paul, stated that it would be helpful to know 58who is living in the home in case they had to perform a search warrant. Councilor Southwick 59inquired about separate utilities for the dwellings. Mr. Struthers replied that they want to keep 60it all on one utility connection. Councilor Southwick inquired if a new owner would have to 61re-pay the fee and re-apply. Mr. Struthers replied they would, and the fee would be $25.00. 62

63Mayor Johnson stated that he is concerned about increased demand on infrastructure with the64additional density this could add. He stated that they do not know how many units will be 65converted through this process or what it will do to the density and feels they need to know 66that number. He stated that there might be areas in town where this is appropriate and that they 67might find areas of town that are near capacity and cannot have additional density added. He 68discussed the problems of having additional sewer flows without receiving additional impact 69fees. Mayor Johnson stated that they need to see a rational percentage increase and then look 70at the density and zoning map to determine what areas can handle the increase. A discussion 71was held on how to obtain that data. It was discussed that they could look at other cities who 72have done this. It was also discussed that they should look at the fees other cities are charging. 73Councilor Hancock expressed concern of allowing ADUs in some parts of town and not others, 74especially if they are in the same zone. Councilor Condie felt that could be discriminatory. 75

76Mayor Johnson reported that they will hold an RDA meeting immediately after the City 77Council meeting. 78

1103. Citizen Input (for public comments on items not listed on the agenda)111

Kelly Tenney stated that she has been a resident of northeast Lehi for 10 years. She asked the 112Mayor and Council to consider a more responsible growth pattern for Lehi. She feels they 113have enough homes and restaurants and that the traffic is terrible. She wondered where are the 114green spaces? She is seeing more and more land turned into cul-de-sacs. She wondered what 115is the plan for responsible growth? She stated that her real motivation to speak tonight is 116because as she was driving down the little dip she was shocked that they are building on the 117southwest corner of the intersection and Lehi residents will no longer get to enjoy that view. 118Her solution is asking for green space similar to Alpine City’s green space park. Mayor 119Johnson replied that they take growth seriously and are hoping to plan for growth better in the 120future. He stated that there is a lot of park planning going on now and they are looking at 121alternate forms of funding to build them.122

123Darrel Spencer reported that he has lived in Lehi for 31 years and wants them to consider the 124miniature parade. He stated that he has watched families be tested as they are asked, under the 125direction of the church, to build a float. He thinks the City should consider downsizing that 126parade so that wards aren't asked to build a float every 3-5 years. He also asked that they only 127have one parade instead of two. Melanie Hansen stated that they don't require the churches to 128build floats. She explained that she sends out a letter inviting them to build a float and 129participate. She stated that she will ensure that the letter is clear that it isn’t a requirement. 130

131JJ Tenney echoed the sentiments of his mom about the growth in Lehi. He stated that he is not132not completely against growth but it is disappointing to see what could be in these spaces. He 133wants to see more strategy on growth and see what Lehi could be.134

1525. General Plan Amendment on 3.15-acres of property located at 708 West Main Street 153

changing the land use designation from MDR (medium density residential) to 154Commercial. (Tabled from the January 30, 2018 meeting)155a. Consideration to Untable Ordinance #13-2018.156

157Motion: Councilor Condie moved to untable Ordinance #13-2018. Councilor Southwick158

seconded the motion.159160

Roll Call Vote: Councilor Hancock, Yes; Councilor Southwick, Yes; Councilor Albrecht, 161Yes; and Councilor Condie, Yes. The motion passed unanimously.162

163b. Consideration of Ordinance #13-2018, a General Plan Amendment on 3.15-acres of 164

property located at 708 West Main Street changing the land use designation from MDR 165(medium density residential) to Commercial.166Kim Struthers stated that he and Ryan Wood were asked to look at whether or not the 167Council can conditionally approve a General Plan amendment. He reported that they called 168Jody Burnett who said that they could. He explained that they would probably do it through 169a separate Development Agreement. He stated that the cleanest option is to approve the 170Commercial zone without the agreement, but if they want to tailor the approval for a 171specific use, they could do that through a Development Agreement.172

173Jeff Bermson, petitioner, was present. Councilor Albrecht inquired if the Development 174Agreement would be tied to the property in perpetuity. Mr. Struthers replied that they 175could make it binding on future owners. Ryan Wood stated that the Development 176Agreement will be conditional on the Council approving the General Plan Amendment. He 177reported that unless the specific use is recorded on the property itself, the use would only 178apply to the current property owner. A discussion was held regarding whether or not to 179make the use run with the land. Councilor Condie stated that he doesn't like having the use 180run with the land and feels that if this use doesn’t happen for some reason, that the next 181owner shouldn’t be forced to build indoor storage units. Councilor Hancock stated that he 182likes tying the property with a specific use. 183

184Jeff Bermson reported that he has a vision on how to master plan that entire area. He stated 185that the MDR zone hasn't worked for the current owners and that a Commercial zone makes 186sense. He thinks storage units work well on this property, due to the layout of the 187parcel. Councilor Albrecht feels that some commercial uses would draw more 188traffic. Councilor Hancock stated that he loves the idea of a master planned area and 189revising the General Plan; but short of having the master plan in place, he would feel more 190comfortable of having the use in place. Councilor Albrecht inquired about signage for the 191project. Mr. Struthers replied that Mr. Bermson would qualify for a pole sign or a 192 12

Lehi City Council Meeting 5 February 13, 2018

monument sign and that the buildings could also have signs. Mr. Bermson stated that he 193would like to have a monument sign.194

195Motion: Councilor Condie moved to approve Ordinance #13-2018, a General Plan 196

Amendment on 3.15-acres of property located at 708 West Main Street changing 197the land use designation from MDR (medium density residential) to Commercial. 198That the Developer enter into a Development Agreement with Lehi City with the 199following two stipulations: 1) that the signage requirement, although it allows for a 20025 foot pole sign, it will be restricted to a monument sign; 2) that the Development 201Agreement also specifies, for this property owner as well as future property owners 202that the intended use for this property is to build an indoor climate controlled 203storage facility. Councilor Southwick seconded the motion.204

205Councilor Hancock inquired if they should authorize the Mayor to sign the Development 206Agreement when it is finalized so it doesn’t have to come back to the Council. 207

208Amended Motion: Councilor Condie amended his motion to include that the Mayor is 209

authorized to sign the Development Agreement once it is finalized. Councilor 210Southwick’s second stands.211

212Councilor Albrecht stated that there may be more concerns than just the signage, there could 213be landscaping concerns, etc. She asked that the motion be amended to allow staff to with the 214developer on other things that may come up. Councilor Condie replied that his motion stands. 215

216Roll Call Vote: Councilor Hancock, Yes; Councilor Southwick, Yes; Councilor Albrecht, No; 217and Councilor Condie, Yes. The motion passed with three in favor and one opposed.218

2196. Consideration of Final subdivision approval of the Park Place Villas @ Ivory Ridge Phase 220

2, a 50-lot residential development located at approximately 3200 North 700 West in a 221Planned Community zone.222Brad Mackey from Ivory Homes, reported that this is the last phase of larger single family lots 223at Ivory Ridge and that they will have one more phase after this one.224

225Motion: Councilor Southwick moved to grant Final subdivision approval of the Park Place 226

Villas @ Ivory Ridge Phase 2, a 50-lot residential development located at 227approximately 3200 North 700 West in a Planned Community zone; subject to the 228completion of all Development Review Committee and Planning Commission 229comments. Councilor Hancock seconded the motion.230

231Roll Call Vote: Councilor Hancock, Yes; Councilor Southwick, Yes; Councilor Albrecht, 232Yes; and Councilor Condie, Yes. The motion passed unanimously.233

2347. Consideration of Ordinance #16-2018, a Development Code Amendment to Chapter 26, 235

Accessory Uses, adding provisions for Accessory Dwelling Units.236Mayor Johnson stated that he will allow public comment on this item.237

238Randy Bohme reported that he works for Richmond American Homes and they have residents 239who want to build new homes and convert the basements into rentals. He wondered what 240 13

Lehi City Council Meeting 6 February 13, 2018

defines the size of a family. Mayor Johnson stated that Lehi Code doesn’t define the size of a 241family. Mr. Bohme inquired if the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) would apply to 1100 West 24230 North. Kim Struthers replied that is zoned R-2 and R-1-22. He stated that a duplex could 243be built in the R-2 zone and the ADU would be allowed in the R-1-22 zone. Councilor Condie 244asked Mr. Bohme if he would be willing to pay twice the amount of impact fees in order to 245build the ADU as there would be two families living there. Mr. Bohme replied that he feels a 246single family home could have the same occupancy as the ADU. 247

248Tyler Gentry reported that he is with Mr. Bohme and is looking at the home at Newman Ranch. 249He wants to finish the basement for this purpose. He stated that there are already rentals that 250are not legal and wondered what is penalty is for those. He also wondered if this is approved, 251could it be reversed later. Mayor Johnson replied that there is no penalty for the non-legal ones 252as they are not allowed. Ryan Wood replied that the zoning enforcement officer could cite 253them. He explained that if the ADU is permitted and one is constructed legally and the code 254changes, that ADU is grandfathered in as it was legal at the time.255

256Councilor Southwick feels that they need to look at this more, but thinks it is something they 257should do. He wants to find out more information about what other cities are doing as far as 258fees and the density increase percentage, as well as see what areas in Lehi are critical for 259infrastructure. Councilor Condie agrees. He wants more information because if it passes 260where some neighborhoods the ADU is allowed and it isn’t allowed in others, he doesn't feel 261that is fair. He wants a date when staff will come back with the information and wants it no 262longer than two months. Jason Walker suggested discussing this at a Work Session after they 263get the information and then the Council could take action at the next City Council meeting. 264

265Mayor Johnson reported that he is concerned about calculation of the increased density and 266whether or not the current infrastructure can sustain the density increase. He stated that this 267needs to be established to they can compensate the City on the maintenance of the 268infrastructure. Councilor Hancock wants to have the data in order to tell a resident, in the same 269zone, why they can't do it when another can. Councilor Condie wants to know if the zones are 270piped differently. Mayor Johnson replied that all the lines are the same size but they may have 271fewer homes feeding into it. Councilor Condie stated that he would want to know that. Lorin272Powell stated that he would need to hire someone to do the study as it will be a lot like an 273Impact Fee study. He stated that they can’t charge an Impact Fee if they oversize the lines. 274He stated that these fees are not impact fees but are for operational maintenance. Councilor 275Hancock stated that he wants to know if there is data from cities that have put this in as to the 276increase of density. Mr. Powell stated that he wants to use 10% to run the 277calculations. Councilor Albrecht reported that Ms. Hutchings has already done the research 278and her report stated that the increase was 7%. 279

280Motion: Councilor Condie moved to table Ordinance #16-2018, a Development Code 281

Amendment to Chapter 26, Accessory Uses, adding provisions for Accessory 282Dwelling Units. That this item comes back to Council in the April Work Session, 283that 10% be used as a parameter for the 8,000 square foot lot size; research the fees 284that are being charged in other cities. Councilor Albrecht seconded the motion.285

286287

14

Lehi City Council Meeting 7 February 13, 2018

Councilor Albrecht stated that they are thinking of discussing this at the April Work Session 288with the intent of whatever Ordinance comes forth from that meeting, will be considered at the 289following City Council meeting. Councilor Condie stated that is his intent. He stated that if 290they need more time, that staff will let them know at that meeting. Councilor Hancock stated 291that he likes looking at the 8,000 square foot lots, but he would also like to look at the impact 292of the 10,000 square foot lot for comparison. He stated that they could go back to the 10,000 293square foot lot with a possible exception for an 8,000 square foot lot if they met other criteria.294

295Amended Motion: Councilor Condie amended his motion to add that the Ordinance will come 296

back to the City Council at the next City Council meeting after the April Work 297Session. That staff will look at the impact of both the 8,000 square foot lots and 29810,000 square foot lots. Councilor Albrecht’s second stands.299

Bandwagon Park located at approximately 900 North and 300 West changing the zoning 305from R-2 (medium density residential) to PF (public facility).306Councilor Condie inquired why this change isn’t being done on every park at once. Jason 307Walker replied that it would be very cumbersome on the Planning Department to post and mail 308the required notices for all of them. Councilor Condie suggested doing it in batches. Kim 309Struthers replied that they are looking at breaking the parks into quadrants of the City and 310doing it that way.311

312Motion: Councilor Condie moved to approve Ordinance #15-2018, a Zoning District Map313

32510. Consideration of Ordinance #18-2018, General Plan Land Use Map Amendment adding 326

areas of Heavy Commercial land use designations.327Kim Struthers reported that they are trying to separate the commercial zones to better designate328the uses. He stated that they recently pulled the Office/Warehouse use out of Commercial and 329this use will now be allowed in the Heavy Commercial zone. He displayed the map of where 330the Heavy Commercial zones would be in the City. He explained that they want to change the 331map slightly in the Mill Pond area and exclude the parcels that are adjacent to the Mill Pond 332from the Heavy Commercial. He recommended excluding the parcels south and east of Mill 333Pond Drive up to the F-MATIC building. He reported that Items #9, #10, #11, and #12 all 334relate to the new Heavy Commercial zoning designation.335 15

City Council Final approval

ANALYSISThis annexation is being done by resolution because the property is part of an existing county island. Water dedication will be required prior to the annexation being recorded with the Utah County Recorder’s Office. The proposed R-1-22 zoning is consistent with the General Plan designation of VLDRA. While most of the property falls in the MDR area of the General Plan, enough of it lies within VLDRA for staff to feel comfortable recommending annexing this property as R-1-22.

The DRC noted that the annexation boundary needs to include the existing 1900 South right-of-way. Please consider all DRC comments as part of the motion.

ACTION/RECOMMENDATIONSPlanning StaffThe Planning Division staff recommends APPROVAL of the proposed Goodrich Annexation. This recommendation is based on the following findings:

1. The proposed application conforms to the goals and policies of the General Plan.2. The proposed application does not affect the health, safety, welfare, and morals of the City.3. Other findings as determined at the public meeting.

Planning CommissionThe Planning Commission recommended approval of this annexation on February 8, 2018. No minutes were available at the time of this report.

LEHI CITY

WATER RIGHT TRANSFER PROCEDURES

The procedures in this exhibit pertain to all transfers of water rights to Lehi City such as transfers related

to annexations, zone changes, etc.

1. General Requirements. The water right dedication for an annexation is based on the zoning

designation assigned at the time of annexation. Should the zone be changed subsequent to annexation, an

adjustment will be made in order to conform to the water dedication schedule for the new zone. Acre-feet

will be rounded up if the shares/water rights do not exactly match the required amount. Lehi Irrigation

Company shares shall be used as the standard in determining the number of shares of water stock to be

dedicated. Owner warrants good and marketable title to the Stock/Water Rights and warrants that

Stock/Water Rights will be transferred free of all liens, encumbrances and security interests. Owner shall

pay all debts, taxes, charges and assessments against said Stock/Water Rights existing as of the date that the

Owner transfers Stock/Water Rights to Lehi City.

2. Irrigation Company Shares. If the irrigation shares can be used directly in the Lehi pressurized

irrigation system, the shares shall be transferred into the name of Lehi City through the Irrigation company

and the certificates delivered to Lehi City. If the irrigation company shares cannot be used directly in the

Lehi pressurized irrigation system, the change application procedure in item #4 must be followed. When the

change application is final, Owner must transfer the shares into the name of Lehi City through the Irrigation

company and deliver the certificates to Lehi City.

3. Fee in Lieu of Future Assessments. Shares of stock in mutual irrigation companies are subject to

payment of an annual fee to cover assessments levied by the irrigation company board of directors pursuant

to Utah Code Annotated 16-4-4 et seq. If the city incurs pumping costs in order to use the irrigation water in

the city system, then there shall be an additional assessment. In consideration for the City’s additional

obligation created herein for all future assessments levied by the irrigation company, Owner agrees to make

a one-time payment to Lehi City equal to the most recent assessment levied against the shares being

73

6

transferred to the City multiplied by 15.

4. Non-irrigation Company Shares. The Owner must prepare, submit, pay appropriate fees and receive

approval from State Engineer’s Office for a Joint Change of Water for said water right to be used from an

existing City source for municipal use as approved by the Lehi City Engineer. (This will allow quantification

and verification of the right by the State Engineer’s Office.) The decision on the change application shall be

considered final when the time for filing a request for reconsideration with the Utah State Engineer’s office

(20 days after issuance of the Utah State Engineer’s decision) and the time for filing a judicial review action

in the district court (30 days after the later of the issuance of the Utah State Engineer’s decision or a denial

of a request for reconsideration) has run and no judicial review action has been filed. When the change

application is final, Owner must:

a. Prepare warranty deed to transfer title to Lehi City

b. Record deed at the Utah County Recorder’s Office

c. Transfer title to Lehi City at the State Engineer’s Office

d. Deliver recorded deed to Lehi City

This subdivision is an extension of the Hadfield subdivision to the west, and it is anticipated that the style of development will match that develop-ment.

The DRC had three comments for this project. Engineering asked for the temporary turnaround on the property to the north to be moved, as it appears that lot 48 is unbuildable with the turnaround located there. Please consider all DRC comments as part of the motion.

ACTION/RECOMMENDATIONSPlanning staff recommends a POSITIVE recommendation to the City Council for the Hadfield Phase 2 preliminary subdivi-sion including the DRC comments from January 24, 2018. This recommendation is based on the following findings:1. The proposed subdivision is not detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of Lehi City.2. The proposed subdivision meets the requirements of the Lehi City Development Code in regards to subdivision approv-

als.3. Other findings based upon information presented at the public hearing.

Connectivity Standards Development Code AmendmentCity Council Report

Applicant: Lehi City

Requested Action/Purpose: Approval on proposed amendments to the Lehi City Development Code

Date of DRC Review: December 13, 2017

Required Action

Planning Commission: Review and recommendation

City Council: Final approval

Section 04.060. Criteria for Approval.No amendment to this Code, or the Zoning District Map(s), may be recommended for approval by the Commission nor approved by the City Council unless such amendment or conditions thereto are consistent with the General Plan. In considering a Code amendment, or Zoning District Map(s) amendment, the ap-plicant shall identify, and the City Staff, DRC, Commission, and the City Council may consider the follow-ing factors, among others:

1. The effect of the proposed amendment on the character of the surrounding area; 2. Consistency with the goals and policies of the General Plan.3. Consistency and Compatibility of the proposed zone with the General Plan land uses of nearby and

adjoining properties.4. The suitability of the properties for the uses requested and their suitability for the existing uses

identified by the General Plan;5. Whether a change in the uses allowed for the affected properties will unduly affect the uses, or

proposed uses for nearby and adjoining properties;6. The gain to the public health, safety and welfare from the existing classification to the proposed

amendment; and7. The overall community benefit of the proposed amendment.

ANALYSISLehi City is requesting approval of a proposed amendment to the street connectivity standards in Chapter 37 of the Development Code. The street connectivity standards were adopted by the City Council in April of 2016. Since this time, several subdivisions have come through the approval process and the street con-nectivity standards were implemented. Staff has found that the existing standards work fairly well with larger subdivisions; however, smaller subdivisions tend to easily meet the standards, and do not create the street connections to meet the intentions of the standards.

The proposed updates to the connectivity standards include superblock interconnectivity requirements, the ability to grant a density bonus for increased connectivity, additional non-residential connectivity standards, and new definitions.

The proposed amendment includes superblock interconnectivity requirements which are intended to con-nect neighborhoods together and prevent isolated neighborhoods. A superblock is a large city block bound by collector or arterial class roads and contains local streets and smaller blocks within its bounds. The superblock interconnectivity requirements propose to ensure connections to existing and future subdivi-sions and to each collector or arterial that surrounds a superblock. The draft amendment includes additional details and figures to illustrate the intent of these requirements.

Proposed with this draft amendment is to allow the Planning Commission and City Council to consider a 94

density bonus or flexibility in lot requirements as compensation for a subdivision that exceeds the connec-tivity index and meets the block length and cul-de-sac length requirements. The density bonus provides compensation to a developer to pay for additional road connections. The proposed amendment would only allow for a density bonus if the proposed road connection is not required to meet the connectivity index, block length, and cul-de-sac length requirements. The allowed density bonus would be based on the value of the improvements and land being provided.

Standards are proposed to increase the level of cross access within commercial developments and to provide some level of connectivity between commercial and residential areas to improve destination access. These standards are also proposed to address the DRC comment to address cross-connectivity between commer-cial and residential areas.

The draft copy of the Development Code amendment includes the recommended changes from the Planning the January 25, 2018, Planning Commission meeting, but the draft does not yet include the changes from the February 8, 2018, Planning Commission meeting. Staff will make the changes from the February 8, 2018, Planning Commission meeting and any changes recommended by the City Council.

PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATIONPlanning Division staff recommends APPROVAL for the proposed amendment to the connectivity stand-ards in Chapter 37 of the Development Code including the DRC comment from December 13, 2017. This recommendation is based on the following findings:

1. The proposed amendment allows the ability to ensure smaller subdivisions are well connected to other neighborhoods and provides the opportunity for compensation for connections above and beyond the standard connectivity requirements.

2. The proposed amendment would increase benefits to the public health, safety, and welfare.3. The proposed Development Code amendment is in conformance with the purposes, intent, and

provisions of the General Plan and its various elements;4. Additional findings based upon information presented during the public hearing.

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONThe Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Development code amendment at their January 25, 2018, and February 8, 2018, regular meetings. The minutes and motion from these meetings are as follows:

January 25, 2018 minutes and motion:Recommendation of Lehi City’s request for a Development Code Amendment to Section 37.050, Connectivity Standards, adding new standards for street connectivity. (Continued from the January 11, 2018 meeting)

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-1

CHAPTER 37 DESIGN STANDARDS Section 37.010. Non-Residential Design Standards. Section 37.020. Historic Commerce District Design

Standards. Section 37.030. Main Street and State Street Areas

Other Than the Historic Core De-sign Standards

Section 37.040. Multi-Family Residential Design Standards

Section 37.050. Connectivity Standards Section 37.060. Outdoor Spaces Site Design Stand-

ards Section 37.070. Parking Standards Section 37.080. Exceptions Section 37.010. Non-Residential Design Standards (Amended 01/08/13; 06/10/14; 12/09/14; 05/26/15; 08/09/16) Purpose and Intent. These standards are intended to improve the aesthetics and functionality of new non-residential or redevelopment projects which help make Lehi City a more desirable place to live, con-duct business, and visit. The specific purposes of this Section include:

A. Creating a sense of place and identification by creating a built environment that exudes quality and superior design;

B. Prioritizing pedestrian travel with improved walkability and safety while still accommo-dating automobiles through site design standards;

C. Improving the aesthetics of non-residential buildings with durable materials and design variations through architectural design standards;

D. Conserve the use of water with xeriscaped landscape areas that utilize drought tolerant trees and plant species through landscape standards;

E. Creating vibrant, healthy, and sustainable

non-residential areas for the citizens of Lehi. To meet the intent of this section, the following pro-visions shall be applied to all new non-residential developments and exterior remodels within Lehi

City, unless otherwise modified by an approved Area Plan. For exterior remodels, these standards shall be applied on a case-by-case basis as reasonably appli-cable. A. Architectural Standards. The design of a building shall be considered on all sides of the build-ing, with each façade being required to meet the terms of this Section. The following architectural standards shall apply to new development and exteri-or remodels of non-residential properties within Lehi City:

1. General Design Concepts. New develop-ment shall be designed for its specific context with a design unique to Lehi City. Developments containing two (2) or more buildings shall pos-sess a similar design theme, and the site shall be designed such that the overall development is cohesive. Building architecture, exterior materi-als and colors shall coordinate.

2. Entrances. Street front entrances shall be developed on all new buildings including side-walk connections to the public sidewalk unless otherwise approved by the Zoning Administra-tor. If approved differently by the Zoning Ad-ministrator, an unobstructed sidewalk connection from the door location must be provided to con-nect to the public sidewalk. Areas between build-ing entrances shall utilize shaded sidewalks, awnings, windows, or other similar pedestrian-friendly architectural features (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Area between building entrances is treated with awning and windows to create a pedestrian friendly environment.

3. Street Facades. The façade that faces the street is the most prominent in any non-residential building. Buildings shall be designed with large panes of glass on the main level ori-ented to the sidewalk (see Figure 2). The use of clear glass on the main level oriented to the street in which the property is accessed is strongly en-couraged for retail uses. The use of faux win-

100

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-2

dows may be allowed if the use does not allow for windows on all sides of the building. Unoc-cupied utility buildings shall not be required to have large panes of glass facing the street.

Figure 2. Façade faces street with large panes of glass on first floor.

4. Variation. Non-residential buildings shall be designed with architectural wall variations spaced at intervals of thirty (30) to fifty (50) feet in linear width, depending on the size of the pro-ject (see Figure 3). The following architectural features shall be incorporated into the design of each façade of the building:

(a) Change in building materials; (b) Building projections measuring at least eighteen (18) inches to three (3) feet in depth based on the scale of the proposed building; (c) Roof line variations measuring at least three (3) feet in height; and (d) Awnings and lighting, or another archi-tectural variation approved on a case-by-case basis that creates visual interest.

Figure 3. Visual interest is created through variation in building projections and construction materials.

5. Vertical Separation. Buildings in excess of two (2) stories in height shall exhibit architectur-al detailing that establishes a vertical separation between lower and upper stories (see Figure 4). This may be accomplished by a mid-façade cor-nice or trim, a change in material, style or color, a façade step-back or roof pitch with dormer windows, or other methods.

Figure 4. Vertical separation between stories has been established by a change in building materials and architectural style.

6. Building Materials. The majority of each façade (51% or more of the wall area excluding windows and doors) shall be constructed of the following hard surface building materials: brick, stone, treated or split face decorative block (CMU), fiber cement siding and panels, wood, concrete, or other durable building material as approved by the Planning Commission. Stucco, EIFS, or untreated concrete block (CMU) may be allowed by the Planning Commission as an accent or secondary material only (see Figure 5). The Planning Commission may approve metal as an exterior building material and as a primary material on a case-by-case basis if an applicant can show that the type of metal is of a high grade and provides architectural quality to a building (see Figure 6). Vinyl siding and standing seam metal (see Figure 7) are prohibited for use as ex-terior wall building materials.

Figure 5. Building is constructed of rock and brick, with stucco accents.

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-3

Figure 6. Metal used is of a high grade and provides an architec-tural quality to the building.

Figure 7.Metal used is an industrial grade and has the look of standing seam metal which detracts from the architectural quality of the building.

7. Screening. Mechanical equipment shall be located or screened so as not to be visible from public and private streets. Screens shall be aes-thetically incorporated into the design of the building, whether located on the ground or the roof, and may include such treatments as balus-trades, parapet walls, or landscaping. Screening materials shall be compatible with those of the building. 8. Building Architectural Orientation. Build-ings shall have their architectural orientation to-wards the front of the property. The front of the property shall be defined as the street frontage from which the building is accessed. Buildings on corner lot sites shall have an architectural ori-entation towards each right-of-way. 9. Neighborhood Commercial Standards. In order to create development that is harmonious with surrounding residential uses, all develop-ments located within the Neighborhood Com-mercial (NC) Zone shall be designed using archi-tectural features that are compatible with resi-dential architecture (see figures 8 and 9) includ-

ing the following elements which shall be in-cluded in addition to the Variation requirements:

(a) Rooflines shall be pitched in a manner that mimics residential roof lines. (b) At least two of the following features shall be incorporated into the building archi-tecture:

• Window awnings; • Decorative lighting; • Shutters; • Decorative trim; • Dormer windows; • Other elements as approved by the

Planning Commission. (c) An architectural design resembling res-idential features to the greatest extent possi-ble.

Figure 8. Commercial design that is compatible with residential architecture

Figure 9. Office building with a design that is compatible with nearby residential uses

B. Site Design Standards. The following stand-ards address building orientation and pedestrian cir-culation for the commercial areas of Lehi, including its streets, parking areas, sidewalks, plazas and other outdoor places.

(a) Buildings shall be oriented to the right-of-way in order to create a “street wall” along the street edge with no front yard set-back except to allow for some minor land-scaped areas, courtyards, plazas, or a drive thru if the site constraints do not allow for

102

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-4

an alternative design. (b) Exceptions may be made for large re-gional retail developments that consist of a large retail building of fifty thousand (50,000) square feet or more of total floor area (see Figure 9). A minimum of fifty (50) percent of the street frontage shall have buildings up to the street in order to allow a regional retail exception. (c) Office parks with two (2) or more office buildings with a combined total of one hun-dred thousand (100,000) square feet or more may be oriented to an internal street or common plaza of at least one half acre in size in order to promote walkability and functionality within the development. As part of the consideration, a concept plan will be required to ensure the overall develop-ment is cohesive and proper vehicular and pedestrian circulation is provided. When this development option is utilized, a minimum of fifty (50) percent of the street frontage shall have buildings up to the street. (d) In the case a project is located adjacent to a State road or major arterial, a minimum fifteen (15) foot setback shall be required as measured from the edge of right-of-way. Landscaping, courtyards, and plazas are al-lowed within the required setback; however, a drive-thru lane may not be allowed within the required setback due to site impacts from potential street widening. (e) The requirements of Section 37.010(B)(1)(a) may be waived by the Plan-ning Commission for institutional uses such as hospitals, maintenance facilities, fire sta-tions, public utility buildings, transit sta-tions, public schools, or other institutional uses as determined by the Planning Com-mission. The purpose of waiving this re-quirement is to allow institutional uses that require access on all sides of the building flexibility to be designed in a manner that promotes safety. (f) Warehousing and Manufacturing Uses Building Orientation. Uses that are industrial in nature shall be oriented toward the adja-cent right-of-way with an allowed maximum of one (1) parking module which includes a single drive aisle with a row of parking on each side. This standard applies only for the following uses:

i. Cabinet and woodworking shop ii. Manufacturing uses

iii. Office/warehouse iv. Recycling/collection center

v. Storage units vi. Warehousing and wholesale dis-

tribution vii. Welding shop

1. Pedestrian Circulation and Street Crossings. Non-residential projects shall provide a circulation plan and show the following site improvements to improve pedestrian circulation and safety:

(a) Pedestrian walkways that interconnect the adjacent street(s), open spaces, parking areas, building entrys, and adjacent sites. Walkways shall be hard surfaced with concrete, brick pavers or asphalt. (b) Crosswalks where pedestrian walkways cross streets and internal roads and shall be constructed of concrete or brick pavers, stamped asphalt, or be painted. (c) Raised central median strips, bulb-outs and other traffic calming elements as re-quired by the City Engineer on a case-by-case basis. (d) Master planned trail connections where a project is located adjacent to a master planned City or Utah County trail. The trail connection shall be a minimum six (6) feet in width and must be constructed of asphalt or concrete.

2. Paving and Surface Materials. Sidewalks and walkways shall be constructed of concrete, and include areas with brick, concrete unit pav-ers or similar materials. Color tones should be medium to dark in order to create a uniform set-ting for the surrounding building materials and colors. 3. Fences and Walls. In general, fences and walls shall be limited to the rear and sides of buildings, helping to reinforce the feeling of Lehi as a small urban area. Fence and wall design shall conform to the provisions set forth in sec-tion 12.080 of the Development Code. Where possible, openings shall be provided in fences and walls to provide pedestrian access to other neighboring non-residential uses.

C. Landscape Treatments and Embellishments. Landscaping shall be installed in such a way that it enhances the built environment and creates an aes-thetically pleasing site. The following standards shall apply to new development and renovations of com-mercial properties within Lehi City:

1. Street Trees and Landscape Elements. In-103

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-5

stalling trees in addition to the standards set forth in the Lehi City Design Standards and Public Improvements Specifications is en-couraged. Small ornamental trees should be avoided, and drought-tolerant species that will be large at maturity encouraged. In gen-eral, new street trees should be selected as per the Lehi City Street Trees Selection Guide.

2. Xeriscape Landscape. Xeriscape landscap-

ing areas with the use of native and drought tolerant plant species provides improved aesthetics in Lehi City. A minimum of twen-ty five (25) percent of the required open space area must be xeriscaped according the definition of xeriscaping in Chapter 38 of the Development Code.

D. In the event that these provisions conflict with another section of the Development Code or General Plan, the more restrictive provision shall apply. Section 37.020. Historic Commerce District Design Standards (Amended 01/08/13; 08/09/16) The Historic Commerce District encompasses the core historic areas of both Main Street and State Street. These areas are identified as the Historic Commerce District. These areas are important identi-fying features that help link the present day commu-nity with its past, which sets Downtown Lehi apart from other cities of similar size in Utah and else-where. It is critical to encourage both reinvestment in existing properties and sensitive new construction in these areas in order to preserve and strengthen Lehi’s heritage, and to establish downtown as a thriving place of commerce. These standards are intended to serve as directions for property owners, architects, designers and developers to help them design and construct appropriate renovations and/or new infill projects that respect the historic nature of Lehi and contribute to the ongoing development of the city’s commercial profile. These standards apply only to properties that front Main Street from 500 West to 100 East, State Street from Center Street to 300 East and in the Historic Commerce (HC) District. These standards are as follows: A. Existing Structures.

1. General Renovation Concepts. Renovation projects shall always respect the architectural heritage of the individual building as well as the historical context of the streetscape (see Figure

10). The following general renovation concepts shall apply:

(a) The original building composition shall be respected, including the scale and propor-tions of the existing structure. (b) As many as possible of the distinguish-ing features of a building shall be main-tained. Alteration or removal of these fea-tures is discouraged. The original design character and integrity of the building shall be respected. (c) Avoid superimposing a fake “historical style” on the building such as “Colonial”, “Victorian”, etc. (d) When parts of a building are in need of work, they should be repaired rather than re-placed. If it is impossible to repair, then re-place with materials, systems, etc. that are historically correct, rather than imitations. (e) When inappropriate materials and forms mask the original building facades, these shall be removed, exposing the original ma-terials, proportions, openings, and design features.

Figure 10. Existing building with appropriate updating and remodeling that is consistent with the original historic design.

2. Storefront Design. The storefront is the most prominent element in any retail establishment. It must be pedestrian friendly as well as respectful of adjacent buildings. At the completion of a project, the result should be a storefront that is inviting and attractive for pedestrians. It must al-so make a positive contribution to the overall streetscape of Downtown Lehi. The following are storefront design standards:

(a) The remodeled storefront shall be con-tained within the original opening and fill the entire space (see Figure 11). It must maintain the line of the existing storefront at the edge of the sidewalk.

104

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-6

Figure 11. New storefront fills the entire area

(b) The remodeled storefront shall be con-tained within the original opening and fill the entire space. It must maintain the line of the existing storefront at the edge of the sidewalk. (c) The original proportion of open (clear glass) to solid (usually structural piers) shall be maintained in all remodeling projects. Clear glass shall be used for all storefront windows. Opaque, heavily tinted, or reflec-tive glass is inappropriate, and shall not be used. (d) Original materials shall be used if at all possible. Avoid the use of materials that are inconsistent with materials used at the time of original construction. Materials such as vinyl siding and EIFS shall not be used. Original proportions shall also be main-tained. (e) Existing transom windows shall be maintained or exposed, (if they have been covered over by previous remodeling pro-jects). The original location and proportions shall be maintained. (f) Bulkheads below the storefront win-dows shall retain the original proportions and be constructed with materials consistent or compatible with the age of the building. (g) Entrances shall respect the location and line of the existing entrances. Maintain re-cessed entrances if they exist. If doors need to be replaced, doors similar to the existing size, proportion and materials shall be used. Avoid door styles that conflict with the character and integrity of the building.

3. Upper Story Windows. Upper story win-dows contribute significantly to the streetscape.

They create a special rhythm that is to be re-spected and maintained. The following are upper story window design standards:

(a) Maintain the position, shape and size of the existing upper story windows. (b) Remove materials that block or screen existing upper story openings. (c) Replace existing window openings with new windows that fill the entire opening. Smaller new windows within larger existing openings are not to be used. (d) Replacement windows shall match the existing windows if possible, and shall re-spect the existing pattern and type.

4. Awnings. Awnings contribute to the streetscape in many ways and were often used as important design elements in historic storefronts. They offer shade and protection from the ele-ments as well as protecting the storefront glass from direct sunlight. They are also useful for building identification. The following awning design standards shall apply:

(a) Awnings shall fill the openings above the glass, but not extend beyond these open-ings to cover the structural piers of a store-front. They are not to cover the space be-tween the second story window sills and the building cornice (see Figure 12). They shall be designed to maintain sufficient headroom above the sidewalk.

Figure 12. Appropriate awning does not cover upper story win-dows

(b) Awnings are to respect the form of the windows and not introduce a new form that is unrelated to the existing building. Awn-ings should not obscure architectural fea-tures of the building façade. (c) Fabric awnings are encouraged (see Figure 13), except where other materials are more consistent with the original design of

105

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-7

the façade. Avoid materials that do not re-spect the original building design.

Figure 13. Awning provides shade and protection from the ele-ments, good building identification

(d) Backlit awnings are inappropriate and shall not be used.

5. Signs and lighting. Signs are an important feature in the overall streetscape and serve to identify individual stores or places of business. Well designed signs contribute significantly to the continuity of building facades in a retail dis-trict. Conversely, poorly designed or placed signs tend to disrupt this desired continuity. The following sign design standards, in addition to Chapter 23 of the Development, Code shall ap-ply:

(a) Signs shall be limited in number and placed in areas that contribute to, rather than conflict with, the architecture of the build-ing. (b) Signs shall not overpower the storefront nor obscure display windows or significant building features. (c) Signs that are backlit or flashing are in-appropriate and shall not be used. (d) Lighting should not flood the whole fa-çade of the building. Fluorescent lights are not allowed. The use of protected and indi-rect lighting from interior windows or above entrances, windows, and signs is preferred. No exterior or façade lighting should be al-lowed to extend or flood onto adjacent prop-erties or public spaces.

6. Rear Entrances. Off-street parking, often behind buildings that front on major retail streets, has put more emphasis on the rear of buildings as pedestrians/clients search for con-venient entrances to shops. A rear entrance may handle normal service activities, such as loading, shipping, and trash collection, but it can also be a welcoming element for the public.

(a) Rear entrances shall respect the archi-tectural elements of the original building and not compete with the main façade of the building. (b) Rear entrances shall be developed with appropriate signage and lighting. Awnings, used as a means to identify and provide cov-er for the public entrance, shall adhere to the standards specified in Section 37.020(A)(4) of the Development Code.

7. Colors. The proper use of colors can be an inexpensive means to alter the expression of any building, and contribute to the overall streetscape.

(a) The natural colors of brick masonry, stone, or other existing building materials should dominate the color scheme of the building. If the existing wall materials are painted, the values shall be in harmony with the materials and colors of the existing con-text. (b) Other colors shall be respectful of adja-cent buildings, utilizing similar values. Ac-cent colors must complement base colors, but not overpower the building façade. (c) Historical color palettes provided by major paint manufacturers should be con-sulted.

B. Infill Development. Gaps in the street wall in historic areas caused by the demolition of former buildings tend to destroy the continuity of the streetscape. Sensitive infill construction on these vacant lots helps restore this continuity. For require-ments and recommendations regarding storefront design, upper story windows, awnings, signs, rear entrances, and colors, refer to Section 37.020 (A). The additional following standards shall apply to infill development:

1. Design. Elements of Lehi’s historic context that may influence the design of new develop-ment include building form, massing, scale, ma-terials and colors.

2. Site Orientation. Infill development shall respect the context in which it is located (see fig-ures 14, 15 and 16). It must respect the scale, alignment, orientation, and distinguishing fea-tures of its neighbors.

Figure 16. New building as a series of bays

3. Building Continuity. Infill development shall reflect structural bay sizes, solid/void pro-portions, and established rhythms of adjacent buildings. Large building facades shall be bro-ken into bay sizes consistent with the existing ar-chitecture.

Figure 17. New infill respects the height and horizontal lines of adjacent buildings

4. Building Height. Infill buildings must not be significantly taller or shorter than adjacent ex-

isting structures (see Figure 17). No buildings are to exceed three stories. One story above ground is typically fifteen (15) feet in height, in-cluding the roof; two stories is typically twenty-five (25) feet high, including the roof; and three stories is typically forty (40) feet high, including the roof. Buildings with retail or commercial on the ground floor and living spaces above are permitted whereas stand-alone high density resi-dential is not, as per Table 05-030-C.

C. In the event that these provisions conflict with another section of the Development Code or General Plan, the more restrictive provision shall apply. Section 37.030. Main Street and State Street Areas Other Than the Historic Core Design Standards (Amended 01/08/13) The established commercial areas beyond the historic cores – which stretch along State Street and Main Street – are important and should be improved care-fully. Both streets carry heavy traffic volumes and present a powerful image for visitors and residents of Lehi. These streets also serve as transition zones between general commercial development and the historic core areas of the community. These standards are intended to serve as directions for property owners, architects, designers and devel-opers to help them design and construct appropriate new projects that are compatible with the community and contribute positively to the ongoing evolution of the City’s main commercial streets. The following standards shall apply to non-residential developments with street frontage on Main Street and State Street not located within the Historic Commerce District. A. General Design Concepts. New construction in these commercial areas shall respect and build upon the historical legacy of Lehi. New development shall be designed for its specific context. Elements of Lehi’s historic context that may influ-ence the design of new development include building form, massing, scale, materials, and colors. A new building can borrow historic features from the area, but should not try to imitate buildings that were constructed decades ago. Nor should pseudo-historic details be used in an effort to copy older buildings in Lehi or elsewhere.

Figure 18. Infill examples of building context

1. Building Massing. Building height and mass should be approved on a case-by-case ba-sis, depending on the surrounding context. Large building facades shall be broken into bay sizes consistent with development patterns previously established in Lehi (see Figure 18).

Figure 19. Building has a relationship to the street with the park-ing in the back

2. Relationship to the street. New buildings shall be built to the major street property line, with no front yard setback except to allow for some minor landscaped areas, courtyards, or pla-zas. Parking and drive-thrus shall not be allowed in the front of a non-residential building (see fig-ure 19). The only parking allowed in front of buildings is on street parking.

3. Entrances. Major street front entrances shall be developed on all new buildings, relating to the sidewalks and pedestrian travel. Off-street park-ing behind new commercial buildings may dic-tate additional public entrances, conveniently lo-

cated near the major parking areas.

4. Street Facades. The façade that faces the street is the most prominent element in any commercial building. It shall be designed with large panes of clear glass on the main level ori-ented to the sidewalk. Opaque, heavily tinted, or reflected glass is inappropriate and shall not be used.

Section 37.040. Multi-Family Residential De-sign Standards (New 06/10/14; amended 08/09/16) These standards are intended to create multi-family developments that will establish permanent neigh-borhoods and provide a sense of community. To meet the intent of this section, the following provisions shall be applied to all new multi-family residential and mixed use developments, unless otherwise modi-fied by an approved Area Plan. For exterior remod-els, these standards shall be required. A. Architectural Standards.

1. General Design Concepts. New develop-ment shall be designed for its specific context with a design unique to Lehi City. Developments containing two (2) or more buildings shall pos-sess a similar design theme, and the site shall be designed such that the overall development is cohesive. Building architecture, exterior materi-als and colors shall coordinate.

2. Side and Rear Facades. These design stand-ards shall be applicable to all sides of a building, with each façade being required to meet the terms of this Section.

3. Building Materials. The majority of each façade (51% or more of the wall area excluding windows and doors) shall be constructed of the following hard surface building materials: brick, stone, treated or split face decorative block (CMU), fiber cement siding, wood, concrete, or other durable building material as approved by the Planning Commission. Stucco, EIFS, or un-treated concrete block (CMU) may be allowed by the Planning Commission as an accent or sec-ondary material only. The Planning Commission may approve metal as an exterior building mate-rial and as a primary material on a case-by-case basis if an applicant can show that the type of metal is of a high grade and provides architectur-al quality to a building. Vinyl siding and stand-ing seam metal are prohibited for use as exterior building materials.

108

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-10

4. Vertical Separation. Buildings in excess of two (2) stories in height shall exhibit architectur-al detailing that establishes a vertical separation between lower and upper stories. This may be accomplished by a mid-façade cornice or trim, a change in material, style or color, a façade step-back or roof pitch with dormer windows, or oth-er methods

5. Building Entrances. Building entrances shall be oriented towards the street or a common courtyard area and provide connecting pedestrian access between the street or courtyard areas (see Figure 20).

Figure 20. Entrances are oriented to the street with rear-loading garages.

Figure 21. Multi-family dwelling maintains the appearance of a larger single family dwelling.

6. Two (2) family, three (3) family and four (4) family dwellings shall maintain a single family detached appearance to the greatest extent possi-ble (see figure 21). Instead of each unit mirror-ing the other, the dwellings shall be designed so that they have the appearance of a large single family unit. This can be accomplished by sepa-rating the entrance of one unit from the entrance to the adjacent unit, or by utilizing grade changes

and roof line variety. 7. Variation. Multi-family dwellings greater than four (4) units shall be designed with archi-tectural wall variations spaced at intervals of thirty (30) to fifty (50) feet in linear width, de-pending on the size of the project (see Figure 22). The following architectural features shall be incorporated into the design of the building:

(a) Change in building materials; (b) Building projections measuring at least eighteen (18) inches to three (3) feet in depth based on the scale of the proposed building; (c) Roof line variations measuring at least three (3) feet in height (d) Awnings and lighting, or another archi-tectural variation as approved on a case-by-case basis that creates visual interest.

Figure 22. Visual interest is created through variation in building projections and construction materials. B. Site Design Standards.

1. Garages. Townhomes shall be designed ori-ented toward public roads with rear loading gar-ages accessed by a paved parking area or alley way (see figure 23). Rear loading garages are highly encouraged for townhomes located on in-terior project roads with units oriented toward a road or common courtyard area (see figures 22 and 25). Multiple unit structures shall have gar-ages incorporated into the primary structure with a minimum of thirty (30) percent of the lower level gross floor area utilized as garage areas; additional garages may be detached from the principal structure. An external concrete parking structure attached to the principal structure may be allowed in lieu of the thirty (30) percent gar-age requirement.

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-11

Figure 23. Garages are located on the rear side of the townhome units with the front doors oriented to a courtyard area.

2. Natural features. Townhome and multiple unit projects shall respect and maintain natural features such as existing trees, hills, drainages, wetlands, bodies of water, or other natural fea-tures. 3. Development plans shall include a landscap-ing plan for the front yards, which shall be in-stalled by the developer. For projects with more than ten (10) units, the landscaping plan shall in-clude at least one (1) tree for every two (2) dwelling units, half of which shall be coniferous evergreen trees and one shrub of five (5) gallon size for each two (2) dwelling units. The conif-erous trees shall be at least six (6) feet in height and the deciduous trees shall be at least two (2) inches in caliper.

4. Streets. Interior project streets shall include on-street parking, curb extensions, sidewalk fur-niture, and crosswalks. 5. Each multi family dwelling project shall provide fencing along interior property lines where incompatible or less intensive uses exist. The required fencing must be a six (6) foot sight obscuring fence. Fences over four (4) feet tall or sight obscuring fencing shall not be located be-tween the buildings and the street. Where there is fencing located along the street, openings in the fence shall be required to allow sidewalk access from each building to the public sidewalk. 6. Each multi-family project with ten (10) units or more shall include amenities for the residents of the project as per Table 37.080 of the Devel-opment Code. Because each project will be dif-ferent in nature, the amenities are likely to be different. The amount of amenities required shall be in proportion to the proposed number of

units in the development. The required number of amenities is listed in Table 37.080 Multi-Family Development Amenities Requirements. Amenities shall be provided according to project size or comparable equivalent amenities as re-quired or recommended by the Planning Com-mission and, if City Council approval is re-quired, as approved by the City Council. Ameni-ties included are:

(a) Picnic Areas. Picnic areas shall consist of a barbeque and two (2) tables on a con-crete pad with a cover. (b) Sports Court. Sports courts shall be at least five hundred (500) square feet and con-structed with concrete or equivalent hard surface area. (c) Playground. Playgrounds shall be con-structed of commercial grade materials and include equipment for younger children and older children. (d) Club House. A club house shall be used for gatherings of residents and be at least seven hundred and fifty (750) square feet in size complete with restrooms. (e) Pool. Pools shall be sub-surface and be no less than twenty (20) feet by forty (40) feet in size. (f) Tennis Courts. Tennis courts shall be professional regulation size and be con-structed of concrete or equivalent hard sur-face area. (g) Splash Pad. Splash pads shall be at least three hundred (300) square feet in size, in-clude a minimum of three (3) vertical spray features, and be constructed of concrete.

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-12

7. Buildings shall be oriented to the right-of-way in order to create a “street wall” along the street edge with no front yard setback except to allow for some minor landscaped areas, court-yards, or plazas. Parking shall not be located be-tween the street and buildings and shall be placed at the interior portion of the property (see figure 24). 8. A minimum of twenty five (25) percent of the total landscape area must be xeriscaped as defined by the Development Code. Xeriscaping is strongly encouraged in passive open space ar-eas with turf grass used in a central active open space area.

9. Pedestrian circulation. Mult-family residential projects shall provide a circulation plan and show the following improvements to improve pedestrian circulation and safety:

(a) Pedestrian walkways that interconnect the adjacent street(s), open spaces, parking areas, building entrys, adjacent sites and adjacent master planned trails where applicable. Each building located along a public road must provide a sidewalk connection from the building entrance to the public sidewalk. (b) Walkways shall be hard surfaced with concrete, brick pavers or asphalt. (c) Crosswalks shall be placed where pedestrian walkways cross streets and internal roads and shall be painted or made of concrete or brick pavers.

C. Downtown Spacing Requirements.

1. The existing single-family characteristics of the central residential neighborhoods of the City shall be maintained. For the purposes of this subsection, a central residential neighborhood shall be defined as any existing residential neighborhood in an R-2 or R-3 Zone within the area from State Street to 400 South and from 500 West to 850 East including any dwellings or properties fronting on said streets. In order to maintain the existing single family characteris-tics of said central residential area, any new two family, three family, four family or multi family dwelling within the defined area, and where al-lowed in an R-2 or R-3 Zone, shall not be locat-ed within a four hundred (400) foot radius (measured from building footprint to building footprint) of the nearest existing two family, three family, four family or multi-family dwell-ing except when located in a Planned Unit De-

velopment or unless otherwise approved by the Planning Commission and City Council.

Section 37.050. Connectivity Standards (New 04/26/16) A. Purpose. These standards are intended to create a connected transportation system between neighbor-hoods and commercial areas within the City. The specific purposes of this Section include:

1. Promoting Encouraging walkability active transportation through additional connections and shorter block lengthsincreased destination access. 2. Improving emergency access and response times to neighborhoods by increasing the number of street connections. 3. Increasing effectiveness of delivery access. 4. Providing better routes to interconnect neighborhoods, shopping, recreation, civic build-ings, employment centers, schools and parks. 5. Reducing impacts of development onPre-serving capacity of Master Planned arterial and collector roads for regional trips by providing al-ternative routes for local trips. 6. Preventing isolated developments that in-crease dependency on automobiles. 7. Reducing vehicle miles travelled and travel distances to improve the air quality and health of residents. 6.8. Decreasing air pollution through shorter travel distances and reduced usage of cars.

B. Definitions.

1. Block Length – The distance along any giv-en road frontage between two intersections with 3 or more connecting links (see Figure 25). Links that connect into a cul-de-sac shall not be considered the termination point of a block length (see Figure 26).

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-13

Figure 25. Example block length measurements.

Figure 26. Example block length measurements with a cul-de-sac.

2. Chicane – An extension of a curb typically on a local street to provide an element of traffic calming. 3. Connectivity Index – A ratio of roadway links and nodes that serves as a metric for meas-uring the level of connectivity.

4. Cul-de-sac Length – The distance from the street intersection to the throat of the cul-de-sac bulb (see Figure 26).

Figure 26. Example of cul-de-sac length measurement.

5. Curb Extension – An extension of a curb in a roadway to narrow the road at pedestrian cross-ings to provide additional safety for pedestrians and serves as a traffic calming measure. 5.6. Isolated Development – A proposed subdi-vision that does not connect to existing subdivi-sions in a superblock by means of a local street. In an isolated development, travel to other sub-divisions or destinations in a superblock is only achieved by means of a collector or arterial road (see Figure 27).

Figure 27. Example isolated development that only connects to collector roads and does not connect to the adjacent subdivision. Travel from point A to point B can only be done by means of using a collector road.

6.7. Links – Streets that connect to nodes or ex-ternal streets not included in the proposed devel-opment. 8. Node – Street intersection or cul-de-sac lo-cated within a proposed development. A street intersection exists where two or more named roads intersect. 9. Pedestrian Walkway – Any trail, sidewalk, or pathway that is intended for use by pedestri-ans. 10. Street Stub – An existing street constructed within an existing subdivision that extends to the property line of an adjacent undeveloped proper-ty. Streets are stubbed to ensure interconnections with future subdivisions (see Figure 28).

7.11. Superblock – A large block includ-ing an internal network of blocks and local streets bounded by roads of a higher classifica-tion than local roads, such as collector roads, ar-terial roads, and highways (see Figure 29). In no case shall local roads serve as the bounds of a superblock. The Jordan River and Utah Lake create the edge of a superblock.

Figure 29. Example of a superblock bound by collector and arterial roads.

C. Circulation Plan. A circulation plan shall be pro-vided as part of a preliminary subdivision plat appli-cation.

1. The circulation plan must address street connectivity, pedestrian circulation, emergency access, and parking movements. In cases where cut-through traffic is likely, traffic calming measures such as curb extensions, chicanes, raised crossings, or other features may be re-quired. 2. The circulation plan shall show the connec-tivity index, block length dimensions, cul-de-sac length dimensions, pedestrian facilities, and any proposed traffic calming features.

3. The circulation plan must take into account access and connectivity on adjacent parcels. On a case-by-case basis the Planning Director and City Engineer may require changes to stub road locations if it will increase the connectivity with-in an adjacent property. 4. A circulation plan will be required for pro-posed developments with more than one acre in project size or with more than ten (10) units. The Planning Director and City Engineer may waive the requirement for a circulation plan on a case-by-case basis.

D. Connectivity Index Calculation. The required connectivity index is calculated by dividing the total number of links by the total number of nodes (see Figure 2730).

Figure 2730. Example connectivity index calculation showing nodes and links. This example shows 23 links and 13 nodes which equates to a connectivity index of 1.77.

1. For the purposes of calculating the number of total links, one link beyond each node shall be included in the connectivity index calculation. Street stubs that provide future access to adjacent properties or streets that connect to existing streets are considered links. 2. An additional ½ link shall be included in the connectivity index calculation for each of the fol-lowing:

(a) Hard surface pedestrian walkway con-nection through a cul-de-sac with a mini-mum width of ten (10) feet including an ad-ditional two five (2) foot soft landscaped shoulder on each side (see Figure 2831); (b) Hard surface master planned trail con-nection with a minimum width of (10) feet including an additional two five (2) foot soft landscaped shoulder on each side (see Fig-

113

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

ure 2932); (c) Internal hard surface trail segment con-necting two roads with a minimum width of ten (10) feet including an additional two (2)five foot soft landscaped shoulder on each side (see figure 3033).

Figure 2831. Cul-de-sac with a pedestrian connection to allow access to an adjacent open space.

Figure 2932. Pedestrian connection to a master planned trail.

Figure 3033. Trails make pedestrian connections between multiple streets.

3. An additional ¼ link shall be included in the connectivity index calculation for each roadway segment where homes face an amenitized open

space, park, or natural area (see Figure 3134). The roadway segment shall have a minimum three hundred (300) feet of frontage along the said open space.

Figure 3134. Park layout allows access from all sides with home fronts facing the park. E. Residential Connectivity Standards. All new residential subdivisions with ten (10) or more units or more than one acre shall meet the following connec-tivity index, block length, and cul-de-sac length standards for public roads. Private roads shall be re-viewed on a case-by-case basis: however, a public road may be required to prevent a private road in a subdivision from stubbing into a future or existing public road.

1. Required Connectivity Index. The minimum required connectivity index shall be required based on the project density as identified in the following table of minimum connectivity index scores:

Density Minimum Index Score 0-2.5 DU/AC 1.5 2.6-4 DU/AC 1.6 4.1+ DU/AC 1.75

(a) Reduction in Required Connectivity In-dex. The required connectivity index may be reduced if the applicant provides clear and convincing evidence that it is impossible or impracticable to achieve due to the follow-ing limitations:

i. Topography Road grades that ex-ceed 10 percent;

iii. Utah Lake;

114

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-16

iv. Delineated wetlands; ii.v. Other significant natural or historic

features iii.vi. Existing adjacent development; iv.vii. Rail corridors; and v.viii. Limited access roadways.

Reductions in the required connectivity in-dex will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must require recommendations from the reviewing departments and Planning Com-mission and approval by the City Council. The total allowed reduction to the required connectivity index will be based on an anal-ysis of existing conditions that prevent con-nections. As part of the analysis, City staff will ensure the internal connectivity of the subdivision meets the required connectivity index and that connectivity is provided to adjacent properties where possible.

2. Maximum Block Lengths. Maximum block lengths allowed shall be required based on the project density as identified on the following ta-ble:

Density Maximum Block Length 0-2.5 DU/AC 1,000 ft. 2.6-4 DU/AC 800 ft. 4.1+ DU/AC 600 ft.

(a) Increase in Block Length. The maxi-mum allowed block length may be increased if the applicant provides clear and convinc-ing evidence that it is impossible or imprac-ticable to achieve due to the following limi-tations:

i. TopographyRoad grades that ex-ceed 10 percent;

ii. Natural features including lakes, rivers, designated wetlandsJordan River;

iii. Utah Lake; iv. Delineated wetlands;

ii.v. Other significant natural and histor-ic features;

iii.vi. Existing adjacent development; iv.vii. Rail corridors; and v.viii. Limited access roadways.

(b) Increases in block length will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must require recommendations from the review-ing departments and Planning Commission and approval by the City Council.

3. Cul-de-sac Length Standards. Maximum cul-de-sac lengths allowed shall be required based on the project density as identified on the following table: 3.

Density Maximum Cul-de-sac Length

0-2.5 DU/AC 400 ft. 2.6+ DU/AC 250 .

(h) Cul-de-sacs shall not be allowed in the R-2, R-2.5 or R-3 zones unless the applicant provides clear and convincing evidence that a cul-de-sac is be necessary to develop the entire parcel due to the following limita-tions:

i. TopographyRoad grades that ex-ceed 10 percent;

ii. Natural features including lakes, rivers, designated wetlandsJordan River;

iii. Utah Lake; iv. Delineated wetlands;

ii.v. Other significant natural and histor-ic features;

iii.vi. Existing adjacent development; iv.vii. Rail corridors; and v.viii. Limited access roadways.

Requests for cul-de-sac within the R-2, R-2.5, and R-3 zones will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must require recom-mendations from the reviewing departments and Planning Commission and approval by the City Council.

4. Superblock Internal Connectivity. All new roads constructed within superblocks shall inter-connect all existing stub streets and future adja-cent vacant properties in order to prevent isolated developments. New subdivisions shall meet the following requirements:

(a) Connect new roads and pedestrian walkways in the proposed subdivision to all existing streets and pedestrian walkways stubbed to the property (see Figure 35).

115

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-17

Figure 35. Subdivision under construction is connecting to an existing street stub.

(b) Provide street stub connections to adja-cent undeveloped properties at a maximum spacing equivalent to the maximum allowed block length (see Section 37.050(E)(2) to find applicable maximum block lengths). Street stub spacing is measured along the property line of a proposed subdivision (see Figure 36). Street stub connections shall be placed to commercial areas for future con-nections as part of commercial redevelop-ment projects.

Figure 36. Street stub spacing is shown with red arrows placed along the property lines of a subdivision.

(c) Connect local streets to each collector or arterial road located on the edges of a su-perblock, unless it is a limited-access road-way that specifically prohibits local street connections (see Figure 37).

Figure 37. The subdivision connects to each collector and arterial street bounding the superblock with the exception of Pioneer Crossing, which is a limited access roadway.

(d) Not create isolated developments within a superblock that requires travel on collector and arterial roads to get to other destinations within the same superblock. Exceptions for isolated developments shall only be allowed if the applicant provides clear and convinc-ing evidence that it is impracticable to con-nect roads to adjacent properties due to the following limitations:

i. Road grades that exceed 10 per-cent;

ii. Jordan River; iii. Utah Lake; iv. Delineated wetlands; v. Other significant natural and histor-

ic features; vi. Existing adjacent development;

vii. Rail corridors; and viii. Limited access roadways.

5. Connectivity Density Bonus. New subdivi-sions that exceed the minimum connectivity in-dex and meet the block and cul-de-sac lengths may be eligible for flexibility in lot sizes, frontages, or a density bonus subject to approval by the City Council as part of the preliminary subdivision approval process. When connectivi-ty bonuses are proposed, the following shall be considered:

(a) Street connections that are required to-wards meeting the connectivity index, block length, or cul-de-sac length requirements shall not be eligible for a density bonus. (b) Additional connections included in a subdivision design to meet the superblock internal connectivity requirements may be considered as part of a connectivity bonus if the connections are not necessary to meet

116

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-18

the connectivity index, block length, and cul-de-sac length requirements. (c) The value of additional improvements and property dedicated to Lehi City for streets shall serve as the basis to determine the allowable density bonus.

F. External Street Connectivity Standards. In addi-tion to the internal street connectivity standards, ex-ternal connectivity shall be maintained.

1. Cul-de-sacs. In cases where cul-de-sacs have one (1) or two (2) rows of lots between the end of the cul-de-sac and an external road, a hard surface pedestrian connection with a minimum width of ten (10) feet including an additional two (2) foot soft shoulder on each side shall be uti-lized to connect to the external street (see Figure 3238).

Figure 3238. Sidewalk connection from cul-de-sac connects to an external collector road.

2. Pedestrian connections shall be utilized to connect proposed developments to master planned trails and adjacent existing or future de-velopments where applicable. Connections shall be of a hard surface with a minimum width of ten (10) feet including an additional two (2) foot soft shoulder on each side.

G. Non-Residential Connectivity Standards. All new non-residential subdivisions containing the dedi-cation of public roads shall meet the following con-nectivity index and block length standards. Private roads shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis: however, a public road may be required to prevent a private road in a subdivision from stubbing into a future or existing public road.

1. Required Connectivity Index. The minimum required connectivity index score shall be 1.5 for non-residential developments.

(a) Reduction in Required Connectivi-

ty Index. The required connectivity index may be reduced if the applicant provides clear and convincing evidence that it is im-possible or impracticable to achieve due to the following limitations:

i. TopographyRoad grades that ex-ceed 10 percent;

ii. Natural features including lakes, rivers, designated wetlandsJordan River;

iii. Utah Lake; iv. Delineated wetlands; ii. Other significant natural and histor-

ic features; iii.v. Existing adjacent development; iv.vi. Rail corridors; and v.vii. Limited access roadways. (b) Reductions in the required connec-tivity index will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must require recommenda-tions from the reviewing departments and Planning Commission and approval by the City Council. (c) The total allowed reduction to the required connectivity index will be based on an analysis of existing conditions that pre-vent connections. As part of the analysis, City staff will ensure the internal connectivi-ty of the subdivision meets the required connectivity index and that connectivity is provided to adjacent properties where possi-ble.

2. Maximum Block Lengths. Maximum block lengths allowed shall be one thousand (1,000) feet for non-residential subdivisions.

(a) Increase in Block Length. The maxi-mum allowed block length may be increased if the applicant provides clear and convinc-ing evidence that it is impossible or imprac-ticable to achieve due to the following limi-tations:

i. TopographyRoad grades that ex-ceed 10 percent;

ii. Natural features including lakes, rivers, designated wetlandsJordan River;

iii. Utah Lake; iv. Delineated wetlands;

ii.v. Other significant natural and histor-ic features;

iii.vi. Existing adjacent development; iv.vii. Rail corridors; and v.viii. Limited access roadways.

117

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Increases in block length will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must require recommendations from the reviewing de-partments and Planning Commission and approval by the City Council.

3. Cul-de-sac Standards. Cul-de-sacs shall not be allowed in any non-residential zone.

(b)(a) Cul-de-sacs may only be allowed if unless the applicant provides clear and con-vincing evidence that a cul-de-sac is be nec-essary to develop the entire parcel due to the following limitations:

i. TopographyRoad grades that ex-ceed 10 percent;

ii. Natural features including lakes, rivers, designated wetlandsJordan River;

iii. Utah Lake; iv. Delineated wetlands;

ii.v. Other significant natural and histor-ic features;

iii.vi. Existing adjacent development; iv.vii. Rail corridors; and v.viii. Limited access roadways.

(b) Requests for cul-de-sacs within non-residential zones will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and must require recom-mendations from the reviewing departments and Planning Commission and approval by the City Council.

(c)4. Cross Access. It is highly encour-aged for nNon-residential and multi-family resi-dential site plans to shall provide pedestrian and vehicular cross-access to adjacent developments to allow auto and pedestrian trips to occur be-tween developments without the need of using the street (see Figure 3339).

Figure 3339. Adjacent non-residential uses provide cross-access which reduces trips required on the surrounding streets.

5. Non-residential to Residential Connections. New non-residential and multi-family residential site plans shall meet the following requirements:

(a) Connect all existing street and pe-destrian walkway stubs to proposed streets and walkways within the site plan. (b) Extend all existing street stubs through a proposed non-residential or multi-family site plan to an adjacent collector or arterial street (see Figure 40).

Figure 40. Local street stub connects a residential subdivision through a commercial site to an adjacent arterial street.

(c) Stub roads to abutting vacant prop-erties shall be spaced not to exceed 1,000 feet as measured along the property line of the proposed site plan (refer to Figure 36). The maximum stub road spacing may be in-creased if the applicant provides clear and convincing evidence that it is impracticable to achieve due to the following limitations:

i. Road grades that exceed 10 per-cent;

ii. Jordan River; iii. Utah Lake; iv. Delineated wetlands; v. Other significant natural and histor-

ic features; vi. Requirements for a secure campus;

vii. Existing adjacent development; viii. Rail corridors; and

ix. Limited access roadways Section 37.060. Downtown Outdoor Spaces Site Design Standards A. General Description. These Site Design Standards address the various outdoor spaces that form Lehi – its streets, parking areas, sidewalks, pla-zas, and other outdoor places – which provide set-tings for the architecture of Lehi, and connections to and from the various buildings. The design of outdoor downtown spaces should be

118

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-20

equal in quality as the buildings themselves. This will help create a downtown district that is unified and consistent, and which results in a positive down-town image.

B. Purpose. The following standards describe how to treat public spaces located in Downtown Lehi. These standards apply to the specific streets and places described in the Downtown Lehi Revitaliza-tion Plan (2007). These standards are intended to provide direction for Lehi City, UDOT, property owners, designers, and developers as improvements are made to both public infrastructure and sites, and privately-owned spaces in the Downtown area.

C. Streets and Streetscape. Each of the streets in Downtown Lehi can contribute to the establishment of a positive place for residents and visitors. The width of the roadway, the number of lanes, on-street parking, street trees and landscaping shape our first impressions of an area. The following Outdoor Spaces Site Design Standards address each typical road and street in Lehi, as de-fined in the Downtown Lehi Revitalization Plan (2007):

1. Street-type A: Main Street Historic Core. This portion of Main Street is located between 500 West and 100 East. The segment is both lim-ited and defined by the narrow street right-of-way and the adjacent line of structures or “street wall” along the street edge. Streetscape improvements in this area should oc-cur within the confines of the right-of-way where possible. In cases where buildings are missing or where they detract from the historic character, the front setback may be re-aligned toward the rear, if the overall effect improves the pedestrian character of the adjacent sidewalk, and with the approval of the Lehi Planning Commission.

(a) Paving and Surface Materials. Side-walks and walkways shall be constructed of brick, concrete unit pavers or similar materi-als that respect and celebrate the historic na-ture of the area. Color tones shall be medi-um to dark in tone in order to create a uni-form setting for the surrounding building materials and colors (see Figure 3441). (b) Lighting and Furnishings. Streetlights and furnishings shall be coordinated throughout Downtown Lehi. Furnishings shall be limited to a select range of benches,

trash receptacles, tree grates and bollards. Streetlights shall be selected from a single model line and coordinate with other down-town streetlights.

Figure 3441. Example of a brick walkway with medium to dark tones

(c) Landscape Treatments. Street trees shall be large (>35’ high and wide) at ma-turity, hardy, drought-tolerant, water con-serving and traditional appearance. Tree species shall be avoided that will heave pav-ing and sidewalks, that are overly dense or difficult to maintain.

2. Street-type B: Main Street Transition Zone. This segment of Main Street extends from 100 East to 400 East. The roadway has a more open, residential feel than the historic core segment, despite the narrow right-of-way. Streetscape im-provements should be contained within the right-of-way, merging the diverse range of adjacent uses within a uniform streetscape design. The following Outdoor Space Site Design Standards shall apply:

(a) Paving and Surface Materials. Side-walks shall be standard poured-in-place concrete. (b) Lighting and Furnishings. Streetlights and furnishings shall be coordinated throughout downtown. Furnishings shall be limited to a select range of benches, trash receptacles, tree grates and bollards. Street-lights shall be selected from a single model line and coordinate with other downtown streetlights.

3. Street-type C: Main Street Business Zone. This section of Main Street extends form 400 East to 850 East. The roadway here is wider than other portions of Main Street, and is lined with a range of commercial uses. Streetscape improve-ments in this area shall reinforce the sense of a

119

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-21

unified parkway along the length of Main Street. The following Outdoor Space Site Design Stand-ards shall apply:

(a) Paving and Surface Materials. Side-walks shall be standard poured-in-place concrete. (b) Lighting and Furnishings. Streetlights and furnishings shall be coordinated throughout downtown. Furnishings shall be limited to a select range of benches, trash receptacles, tree grates and bollards. Street-lights shall be selected from a single model line and coordinate with other downtown streetlights.

4. Street-type D: State Street Boulevard. State Street improvements should focus on converting the wide, utilitarian highway into an attractive urban road, particularly in the vicinity of the State Street Historic Core. Improvements shall be implemented in consultation with UDOT. The following Outdoor Space Site Design Standards shall apply to State Street Boulevard:

(a) Paving and Surface Materials. Side-walks shall be standard poured-in-place concrete. (b) Lighting and Furnishings. Streetlights and furnishings shall be coordinated throughout downtown. Furnishings shall be limited to a select range of benches, trash receptacles, tree grates and bollards. Street-lights shall be selected from a single model line and coordinate with other downtown streetlights. (c) Landscape Treatments. Street trees shall be large (>35’ high and wide) at ma-turity, hardy drought tolerant, water con-serving and traditional in appearance. Tree species shall be avoided that will heave pav-ing and sidewalks, that are overly dense or difficult to maintain.

5. Street-type E: Center Street Greenway. Im-provements here shall establish Center Street as a “festival” place, distinguishing it from other roads in the area. The treatment shall clearly de-marcate Center Street as a place of special events, and the home of unique cultural features. The following Outdoor Spaces Site Design Standards shall apply

(a) Paving and Surface Materials. Side-walks shall be standard poured-in-place concrete. Park strips shall be planted with grass, other plants, and in some cases, pav-ers similar to those established for Main Street sidewalks.

(b) Lighting and Furnishings. Streetlights and furnishings shall be coordinated throughout downtown. Furnishings shall be limited to a select range of benches, trash receptacles, tree grates and bollards. Street-lights shall be selected from a single model line and coordinate with other downtown streetlights. (c) Landscape Treatments. Street trees shall be large (>35’ high and wide) at ma-turity, hardy, drought tolerant, water con-serving and old fashioned in appearance.

6. Street-type F: Collector Streets. These streets shall be formalized with sidewalks, curb and gutter, park strips and street trees. The fol-lowing Outdoor Spaces Site Design Standards shall apply:

(a) Paving and Surface Materials. Side-walks shall be standard pour-in-place con-crete. Bulb-outs shall utilize the same con-crete unit pavers or similar materials along the length of Main Street. (b) Lighting and Furnishings. Streetlights shall be coordinated throughout downtown. No street furnishings are envisioned on these streets. Streetlights shall be selected from a single model line and coordinate with other downtown streetlights. (c) Landscape Treatments. Street trees shall be large (>35’ high and wide) at ma-turity, drought tolerant, water conserving and old fashioned in appearance. Trees along this street should be distinctly differ-ent than those located on Main Street or oth-er downtown roads. (d) Tree species shall be avoided that heave paving and sidewalks, or which are difficult to maintain. (e) Park strips shall be planted with drought tolerant turf and/or groundcovers.

7. Street-type G: Local Streets. Local streets should be slightly modified to include sidewalks while maintaining the rural feeling that exempli-fies the charm of the area. If possible, sidewalks should be incorporated with the existing drainage swales. The following Outdoor Spaces Site De-sign Standards shall apply:

(a) Paving and Surface Materials. Side-walks shall be standard poured-in-place concrete. (b) Lighting and Furnishings. Residents should be consulted to determine the need and desire for streetlights.

120

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-22

D. Parking Lots and Alleys. Parking lots and rear alleys are critical places for creating a harmoni-ous and desirable downtown area. These spaces shall be treated with the same care as adjacent streets, with a focus on “fitting in” and putting the needs of pedes-trians in front of motorists. A well-conceived shading strategy provides a level of order and structure that can transform a parking lot from an undifferentiated asphalt expanse into a clear-ly articulated, safe, comfortable and visually interest-ing place. Where parking is located adjacent to a pub-lic road, trees, low walls and other appropriate vege-tation shall be used to separate the parking area from the sidewalk and street. Parking lots shall be well-landscaped.

1. Lighting and Furnishings. Lighting shall be provided in all parking lots. Contemporary style poles and fixtures will provide a nice contrast to nearby "old fashioned" streetlights, although most styles should be allowed. Fixtures which are "night sky" friendly (which limits upward lighting) shall be used. 2. Landscape Treatments.

(a) Parking lots shall be landscaped with a mix of medium to tall trees (25-45 feet high and wide). (b) Trees should have a heavy canopy to provide good shade. (c) Trees shall be drought-tolerant, water conserving, and distinctly different than those located on Main Street or other down-town roads. (d) Tree species shall be avoided with roots likely to heave paving or which are difficult to maintain. (e) Trees shall be typically planted in rows within barrier islands, according to existing Lehi City spacing requirement. Clustered tree planting may be preferable to rows in certain cases.

Figure 3542. Parking lot with access to adjacent uses

3. Access to Adjacent Uses and Buildings. Sidewalks and paved connections shall be pro-vided between parking lots and nearby buildings and points of interest (see Figure 39).

E. Street Trees and Landscape Elements. Large shade trees are a defining element of Downtown Lehi. As the area grows and changes, the planting of additional trees is encouraged, particularly along downtown streets and roads. In general, new street trees should be selected that are large at maturity, since this will reinforce the pleasant, traditional char-acter of the area.

1. Street Furnishings and Lighting. Street fur-nishings and streetlights shall be coordinated throughout downtown. A cohesive system of furnishings and lightings shall be implemented throughout the area, according to a detailed Fur-nishing and Lighting Plan. The style of furnish-ings and lighting shall exude a sense of high-quality investment and civic pride. Streetlights shall be selected from a single model line, with variations according to the lighting function re-quired and the specific area to be lit. 2. Fences and Walls. The application of fences and walls is dependent on the use of these fea-tures, the surrounding uses to be screened or buffered, and site context. In general, fences and walls in Downtown Lehi shall be limited to the rear and sides of buildings, helping to reinforce the feeling of a small urban area. The use of fences and walls should be limited to locations where they benefit the surroundings or are rigid for buffering. In general, these features shall be constructed of solid materials that fit with the overall feel of the area. The design of fences and walls should respond to surrounding fence treat-ments.

Section 37.070. Parking Standards (New 12/09/14; amended 08/09/16) A. Purpose. These standards are intended to cre-ate off-street parking areas for new development and redevelopment projects that promote functionality, safety, and aesthetics. B. General Requirements.

1. Every building, structure, improvement, and use shall provide permanent, maintained off-street parking as specified in this Chapter. The

121

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-23

parking shall be a continuing obligation of the property owner as long as the use continues. It shall be unlawful for a landowner to eliminate required off-street parking unless otherwise pro-vided on the parcel and approved by the City. 2. If parking is located on a lot or parcel under different ownership, a perpetual easement must be recorded in the office of the Utah County Re-corder prior to final approval. 3. Any lights provided or required to illuminate a parking area shall be arranged in a manner that will reflect light away from adjacent properties and roadways.

4. All required parking lots and parking struc-tures shall be hard surfaced with asphalt, brick pavers, concrete, or other impervious material. Pervious parking surfaces (see figure 3643) may be allowed if drainage or any environmental det-riments are mitigated. The materials shall be ap-proved by the City Engineer and be capable of handling the anticipated size and weight of vehi-cles, including public safety vehicles.

Figure 3643. Pervious concrete allows water to percolate through to the ground and reduce the amount of storm water run-off.

5. Each parking lot shall be surrounded by a concrete curb, or other border approved by the City Engineer to ensure the life of the surface and to limit the access to approved ingress and egress locations.

6. Private parking shall not be designed to al-low backing onto a public street, unless other-wise approved by the City Engineer.

7. No parking shall occur in any alley, drive-way, traffic isle or delivery area, nor shall it in-terfere with the ingress/egress of a site.

C. Site Design Standards.

1. Site Accesses

(a) Minimum Access Width. Any access al-lowing ingress/egress to a site shall be con-

structed according to the following stand-ards:

i.One-Way Access. A minimum width of

16 (sixteen) feet and maximum width of 18 (eighteen) feet shall be maintained for one-way accesses (see Figure 3744).

Figure 3744. One-Way Access

ii.Two-Way Access. A minimum width of

25 (twenty five) feet and a maxi-mum width of 28 (twenty eight) feet shall be maintained for a two-way access (see Figure 3845).

Figure 3845. Two-Way Access.

iii.Two-Way Access with 3 Lanes. A min-

imum width of 34 (thirty four) feet and a maximum width of 36 (thirty six) feet shall be maintained for a two-way access with 3 (three) lanes (see Figure 3946).

Figure 3946. Two-Way Access with 3 Lanes.

(b) No access shall exceed the set maxi-mum width unless otherwise approved by

122

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-24

the City Engineer. (c) Site accesses located along any State Road shall comply with the Utah Depart-ment of Transportation access standards. (d) Non-private drive approaches along the curb line shall be wider than the associated site access width. When the access adjoins the street with a curb return, the minimum radius for the back of curb shall be 11 feet. When the access is designed using an ap-proach flair, the approach bottom shall be 10 feet wider (5 feet on each side) than the ac-cess width.

2. Pedestrian Corridors.

(a) Any parking lot in excess of one hun-dred (100) stalls shall provide a hard surface walkway with a minimum width of five (5) feet from the parking lot and/or street to the entrance of the building (see Figures 40 47 and 4148). (b) Planter areas with trees and/or shrubs shall be placed along the pedestrian walk-way as part of the required ten percent (10%) parking open space requirement.

Figure 4047. Parking lot with pedestrian access from the street to the building.

Figure 4148. Parking lot pedestrian walkway with pockets of landscaping.

3. Lighting and Furnishings. Lighting shall be

provided in all parking lots, utilizing attrac-tive poles and fixtures in contrast to nearby streetlights. Fixtures shall be selected that are night-sky friendly (which limits upward lighting) and shall comply with Section 12.110 of the Development Code. LED parking lot lighting is highly encouraged to help focus light on-site and reduce light overflow to adjacent properties.

Figure 4249. Parking lot has been landscaped with trees that create a heavy canopy and provide shade.

4. Landscape Treatments. Where parking is

located adjacent to a public road, trees and other appropriate vegetation should be used to separate and define the edges of the park-ing area from the sidewalk and street. All parking lots shall be well-landscaped ac-cording to a detailed landscaping plan.

D. Parking Dimensions.

1. Each off-street parking stall shall have min-imum dimensions of not less than nine (9) feet in width and eighteen (18) feet in length.

2. Compact parking stalls of eight and a half (8.5) feet in width and sixteen (16) feet in length may be utilized as approved by the Planning Commission and subject to the following:

(a) Compact stalls may only be used for us-es with low parking turnover such as office, industrial, commuter parking lots, schools, institutional uses, and other uses as ap-proved by the Planning Commission. (b) Compact stalls may be used only in parking lots with fifty (50) stalls or greater. (c) Compact stalls may be used only in ir-regular or odd shaped portions of the site, where standard stall sizes cannot be utilized. (d) No more than ten percent (10%) of the total number of required parking stalls shall

123

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-25

be designated for compact car parking. (e) Compact stalls may be used only where the tires of parked cars contact wheel stops or curbing that allows for vehicle overhang. However, the overhang area must be a land-scaped area, not a sidewalk or other pedes-trian walkway.

3. Unless otherwise approved by the City En-gineer, each parking module, defined as one ac-cess aisle servicing a row of parking on each side of the aisle, shall have a minimum aisle width and stall size as set forth in the following dia-grams:

(a) Two-Way 90˚ (Perpendicular) Parking Module – high parking turnover (uses such as retail, restaurants, grocery stores, etc.): Uses that must accommodate a higher per-centage of full size trucks or heavy equip-ment (such as a contracting business, con-struction company, etc.) may be required to provide a 64 (sixty four) foot parking mod-ule.

Figure 4350.

(b) Two-Way 90˚ (Perpendicular) Parking Module – low parking turnover (uses such as office, schools, institutional uses, etc.):

Figure 4450.

(c) One-Way 60˚ Parking Module:

Figure 4551.

(d) One-Way 45˚ Parking Module:

Figure 4652.

(e) One-Way 0˚ (Parallel) Parking Module (end stalls must be a minimum of 24 (twenty four) feet in length):

Figure 4753.

(f) Two-way angled parking shall maintain a minimum twenty (20) foot drive aisle.

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-26

Figure 4854. Example of a two-way angled parking module with twenty (20) foot drive aisle.

(g) In a case where compact parking stalls are utilized on one side of the aisle, the module width may be reduced accordingly. Compact stalls shall be a minimum eight and a half (8.5) feet in width and sixteen (16) feet in length where there is a two (2) foot overhang.

E. Parking Structure Design Standards.

1. Parking Stall Size Reductions.

(a) Low Parking Turnover Uses. Uses with a low turnover parking rate in-cluding office, residential, schools, and other uses as approved by the Planning Commission may be allowed to have reduced parking stall dimensions as defined in this section. Parking stall dimensions may be reduced to eight and a half (8.5) feet in width and in the case a stall has two (2) feet of over-hang space, a stall may be reduced to sixteen (16) feet in length (see Figure 4153). Stalls adjacent to a support col-umn or wall shall maintain an eight and a half (8.5) foot wide clearance.

Figure 4955. Parking structure stall dimensions for uses with a low parking turnover rate.

(b) High Parking Turnover Uses. Uses with a high turnover parking rate in-

cluding retail, restaurants, movie thea-ters, medical/dental offices must meet the parking stall dimensions defined in this section. Parking stall dimensions shall maintain standard dimensions of nine (9) feet by eighteen (18) feet un-less otherwise approved by the City Engineer. Where stalls are located next to a support column or wall, the mini-mum parking stall width may be re-duced by six (6) inches.

2. Required Structured Parking. Office and re-tail uses with more than two hundred fifty (250) proposed parking stalls and are over parked at a rate of one and a half (1.5) times or greater than the number of required stalls shall utilize struc-tured/underground parking for a minimum of fifty (50) percent of the proposed parking to prevent excessive areas of surface parking. The Zoning Administrator may allow an exception to this if clear and convincing evidence is pro-vided that a parking structure has a negative impact on the proposed use.

3. Parking Structure Design.

(a) Parking structures shall be designed with similar components and materials as the principal on-site building. Exterior ma-terials shall consist of concrete, masonry, rock, glass, and/or other materials approved by the Planning Commission. (b) It is highly encouraged to utilize hori-zontal beam construction that avoids plac-ing support columns or walls adjacent to parking stalls and aisles.

Figure 5056. Parking structure built into the slope with low visibil-ity from the street.

(c) In cases where a site is sloped, parking structures shall take advantage of the to-pography by retaining the slope with the structure (see Figure 5056). Where possible the structure should not be visible from the

125

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-27

public street. (d) Exterior facades of a parking structure shall provide a variation of materials, wall projections, or change in architecture every one hundred (100) to one hundred fifty (150) feet (see Figure 5157).

Figure 5157. The parking structure façade exhibits variations with the use of embossed concrete walls and the use of pillars and ca-ble.

(e) Parking structures shall be designed to allow natural light and public visibility to improve safety. (f) Parking structure stairways shall be covered and it is strongly encouraged to enclose the stairway with architectural el-ements that relate to the principal building (see Figure 5258).

Figure 5258. Parking structure stairway is enclosed with the use of materials to match the principal structure.

4. Screening. Any associated equipment (trans-formers, ventilation shafts, elevator equip-ment, etc.) shall be screened from public view by landscaping, screen walls, or other feature that may be incorporated into the design of the structure.

5. Landscaping. Any parking structure shall be landscaped around the base with the use of trees and shrubs. It is strongly encour-aged to provide landscaping on the top lev-

el of the structure with the use of planter beds or potted plants (see Figure 5359).

Figure 5359. Top deck of a parking structure with large land-scaped area.

F. ADA Accessible Parking. As part of the min-imum off street parking requirements, all property owners and applicants for development approvals are required to comply with the minimum standards for the provision of handicapped parking stalls as identi-fied and required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as amended. The parking stalls shall be identified by typical ADA symbols and should be placed in areas that are most convenient to the en-trance to the structure.

G. Shared Parking Standards. The Planning Commission may authorize, with a recommendation from the City Engineer, shared parking of one park-ing lot for multiple uses if the following criteria are met:

1. A site plan submitted concurrently identify-ing the locations of each use and the pro-posed parking area.

2. The applicant shall provide clear and con-vincing evidence that the proposed uses have separate peak parking periods that do not conflict.

3. A shared parking agreement and a cross ac-cess easement shall be recorded in the office of the Utah County Recorder.

4. The building entrances are no greater than three hundred (300) feet from the nearest edge of the parking lot.

5. The applicant shall provide a parking analy-sis completed by a licensed traffic engineer

126

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-28

with the following information: (a) Projected peak parking hours for each use; (b) Number of required parking stalls for each use; (c) Number of existing or proposed parking stalls.

H. Bicycle Parking Standards. Active transporta-tion continually becomes more popular as a healthy alternative to automobiles and as such the demand for bicycle parking facilities has grown. The following standards are to provide secure and accessible bicycle parking facilities and to encourage continual growth in active transportation and lessening of traffic con-gestion.

1. Required Number of Bicycle Parking Stalls.

The minimum number of required bicycle parking stalls for any use shall be five per-cent (5%) of the total required number of vehicular parking stalls with a minimum 2 stalls. Where a project is located within a half mile of a permanent transit station or located adjacent to a master planned trail or other regional bicycle facility, a minimum ten percent (10%) of the total required ve-hicular parking shall be provided. In all cas-es, the number of bicycle parking stalls shall be exclusive of required vehicular parking stalls.

2. Bicycle Parking Design Standards. (a) Required bicycle parking shall be locat-ed on the same site as the principal use and shall be easily accessible from adjacent pub-lic streets and/or trails. (b) Outdoor bicycle parking must be locat-ed near the building entrance but not to in-terfere with the entrance (see Figure 5460) or if located away from the entrance a pe-destrian path leading to the entry shall be provided. In addition, outdoor bicycle park-ing must be located such that it is visible to help prevent theft.

Figure 5460. Bicycle parking is located near the building entrance

in such a way it does not interfere with pedestrian traffic.

(c) Bicycle racks shall be an “inverted U” design that allows for bicycles to be locked on the frame (see Figure 5561). Other bicy-cle racks may be used as approved by the Zoning Administrator if the proposed bicy-cle rack provides two locking points. Bicy-cle racks shall be anchored to the ground as to resist rust and prevent removal by vandal-ism. Other creative or artistic bicycle racks may be approved by the Zoning Administra-tor if the subject rack provides two points of contact for the parked bicycle.

Figure 5561. Inverted U bicycle rack is basic and provides two locking points with space for two bicycles.

(d) Long Term Bicycle Storage. Uses such as office or institutional uses where a person may stay for a long period of time and bene-fit from long term bicycle parking. Long term and secure bicycle parking encourages an increased number of bicycle trips and helps to prevent theft. Office or institutional uses with a vehicular parking requirement greater than two hundred fifty (250) stalls shall place required bicycle parking either within a secure covered parking area (see Figure 5662), bike lockers or an indoor bi-cycle storage room/area (see Figure 5763). It is encouraged to provide secure bicycle parking areas or indoor bicycle storage rooms for office uses with less than two hundred fifty (250) required vehicular stalls as well as other uses with a long term bicy-cle storage need.

Figure 5662. Covered secure bicycle parking area allows access only to those who use it to prevent theft.

Chapter 37 Design Standards DRAFT 1/31/18 Adopted 09/11/12

Lehi City Development Code Page 37-29

Figure 5763. Indoor bicycle storage room provides maximum security for stored bicycles and encourages bicycle use.

(e) Reduction in Vehicular Parking. A re-duction in the required vehicular parking for office and institutional uses is allowed at a reduction rate of one (1) vehicular stall for every two (2) indoor bicycle parking stalls provided in addition to any required in-door/secure bicycle parking stalls. A maxi-mum ten (10) percent reduction in vehicular parking stalls shall be allowed for additional indoor bicycle parking. (f) It is highly encouraged to provide bicy-cle user end facilities for uses that have long term bicycle parking and higher bicycle use. User end facilities include showers, lockers, and dressing areas. A five (5) percent reduc-tion in vehicular parking stalls in addition to other reductions or a two (2) percent reduc-tion in parking lot landscape area may be approved if user end facilities are provided within the principal building. User end facil-ities shall provide separate showers, lockers, and dressing rooms specifically for the use of bicycle users.

I. Reduction in Required Parking.

1. For all Uses and activities located within the Mixed Use or Historic Commerce Districts no minimum parking requirements are identified. Rather it is the policy of the City to maintain all existing uses that do not meet the parking re-quirements of this Code within the Mixed Use or Historic Commerce Districts and to encourage additional uses and activities. However, in re-viewing and approving new Uses within the Mixed Use (MU) and Historic Commerce (HC) districts the Zoning Administrator, Reviewing Departments, and Planning Commission will be guided by the parking requirements as contained

in Table 37.090. Parking requirements for the Mixed Use (MU) and Historic Commerce (HC) districts shall be as approved by the Zoning Ad-ministrator, Reviewing Departments, and Plan-ning Commission.

2. In all other zones, an applicant may request for a reduction in the amount of parking stalls. The applicant must clearly demonstrate that the required number of parking stalls is unnecessary for the proposed use and any possible future use of the building. Requests to lower the amount of parking stalls must be approved by the Planning Commission following a recommendation by the Reviewing Departments. Any request which lowers the amount of parking stalls by more than twenty (20) percent shall not be approved by the Planning Commission.

J. Landscaping.

1.

Public Utility Easements Development Code AmendmentPlanning Commission Report

Applicant: Lehi City

Requested Action/Purpose: Approval of proposed amendments to the Lehi City Development Code

Date of DRC Review: January 17, 2018

Required Action

Planning Commission: Review and recommendation

City Council: Final approval

Section 04.060. Criteria for Approval.No amendment to this Code, or the Zoning District Map(s), may be recommended for approval by the Commission nor approved by the City Council unless such amendment or conditions thereto are consistent with the General Plan. In considering a Code amendment, or Zoning District Map(s) amendment, the ap-plicant shall identify, and the City Staff, DRC, Commission, and the City Council may consider the follow-ing factors, among others:

1. The effect of the proposed amendment on the character of the surrounding area; 2. Consistency with the goals and policies of the General Plan.3. Consistency and Compatibility of the proposed zone with the General Plan land uses of nearby and

adjoining properties.4. The suitability of the properties for the uses requested and their suitability for the existing uses

identified by the General Plan;5. Whether a change in the uses allowed for the affected properties will unduly affect the uses, or

proposed uses for nearby and adjoining properties;6. The gain to the public health, safety and welfare from the existing classification to the proposed

amendment; and7. The overall community benefit of the proposed amendment.

ANALYSISLehi City is requesting review and recommendation of a proposed amendment to the subdivision require-ments for public utility easements in Chapter 11 of the Development Code. Many of the new developments that are currently under construction (i.e. Holbrook Farms, The Exchange, etc.) have private streets that are different in width than a typical public street as well as reduced setbacks for the housing units. The Power Department has found it difficult in some cases to fit their power infrastructure in a 10’ public utility ease-ment, especially if the street does not have a planter strip. The Power Department has been working with Planning Staff to draft this proposed amendment to hopefully solve the problem. The amendment would require a 15’ public utility easement on streets that do not have a planter. This would ensure that the Power Department still has adequate room to place their lines and above ground equipment without conflicting with water services and natural gas lines.

RECOMMENDATIONS/POSSIBLE ACTIONSPlanning Division staff recommends a POSITIVE recommendation to the City Council for the proposed amendment to the public utility easement requirements in Chapter 11 of the Development Code including the DRC comment from January 17, 2018. This recommendation is based on the following findings:

1. The proposed amendment ensures that there is adequate space to provide public utilities in devel-opments that have non-traditional street widths and smaller building setbacks.

2. The proposed amendment would increase benefits to the public health, safety, and welfare.3. The proposed Development Code amendment is in conformance with the purposes, intent, and

provisions of the General Plan and its various elements;4. Additional findings based upon information presented during the public hearing. 132

PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONThe Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Development code amendment at their February 8, 2018, regular meeting and recommended approval of the proposed changes for public utility easement require-ments.
