Lehi Drive Thru Concept

CLOSED: The Planning Commission approved this project.

The applicant requests review and approval of the Lehi Drive Thru Concept located at 600 West State Street. The concept shows the layout of the two drive thru buildings, parking, and potential future landscaping. The development of this parcel is being done in conjunction with the City to complete improvements along State Street. You can see a copy of the proposed plan in the "Documents" section on the right hand side of this page.

The proposed concept plan shows two approximately 1,000 square foot buildings with drive thru facilities. The drive thru facilities are a conditional use in the Mixed-Use zone and will need to be applied for at the time of site plan. Both buildings would have patio areas on the west side of the building for outdoor dining. Parking will be provided for employees and people getting takeout. This development is located within the Urban Village district in Chapter 37 of the Development Code. The Development Review Committee commented that it would be subject to the requirements in that section for site design and architecture.

Separate drive thru facilities will surround both buildings and will allow for stacking within the parking lot areas. In addition, the buildings will have the drive aisle between the buildings and State Street. The Development Review Committee commented that parking lots or drive aisles are not allowed between the building and street in the Urban Village District. The applicant is requesting that an exception be granted to allow the drive aisles.

Landscaping will be provided throughout the site. The site will need to meet the landscape standards for non-residential uses, including a minimum of 50% waterwise landscaping. Due to the residential to the north of the site, a landscape buffer will need to be provided to buffer between the commercial and residential uses. The Development Review Committee commented that the site will need to provide fencing and sufficient landscape buffering along the residential property lines. The applicant has indicated in their narrative that they are requesting an exception to encroach on the buffer zone with the property to the north, which can be considered in a Mixed Use zone. The Planning Commission will need to determine whether this exception is warranted.
