Picture living in a neighborhood where you can walk down the street to purchase milk or eggs, or even walk to a gym, doctors appointment, or work. Lehi City staff envisions the neighborhood commercial zone creating these opportunities. Staff also realize the concerns that residents have with commercial uses coming into their neighborhoods.

This project is an attempt to understand those concerns and come up with solutions. Currently we are trying to understand the concerns. After we gather this initial feedback, we want to work collaboratively with the residents, development community, and the Planning Commission and City Council to establish new standards making neighborhood commercial zones an asset in our neighborhoods.

    Provide feedback below on the buffering requirements. 

    • Minimum 12 foot landscape buffer between residential and the parking or building of the neighborhood commercial.
      • 12 foot buffer is for a one-story building
      • Any building over 20 feet in height requires an additional foot of buffer for every foot of building
        • half of the additional space must be landscaped. The other half can be parking or other hard surface. 
    • A six foot screening treatment must be provided between the neighborhood commercial and residential areas.

    Parking spaces are required based on the type of use. We do not currently have a reduction in the number of parking spaces. Would you like a reduction for neighborhood commercial? Or maybe a maximum number of stalls instead?
