Consultation has ended. This item passed with a positive recommendation and will be scheduled for City Council on May 14th, 2024.

Lehi City wants to amend Chapter 12 of the Development Code to make things clearer. One change would allow staff to approve fences between six and eight feet where the exception is for grade or safety reasons. It also would clarify that additional fence height over six feet is an exception and does not have to be approved. Those who are requesting the additional height will need to provide evidence that they should be allowed to have a taller fence. It also clarifies that fences should still allow access to power and other dry utility equipment.

Development Code amendments allow the Planning Commission and City Council full power to decide if the change is good for the city or not. They can approve, deny or require any changes they want. And anyone can speak to the proposed changes.
