R2023-04-05 - Resolution Adopting the Station Area Plan for Lehi, Utah
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Resolution R2023-04-05 adopting the Lehi FrontRunner Station Area Plan as presented and as recommended by the Local Advisory Council
BACKGROUND:
The Lehi Frontrunner Station Area Plan was initiated by Lehi City, in collaboration with UTA, in 2022. The plan was funded by UTA, with a local contribution from Lehi City. Design Workshop was selected as the consultant through a RFB (Request for Bids) process, facilitated by UTA. This plan was approved by the Lehi City Council on January 10, 2023.
This plan was completed in tandem with the Thanksgiving Point Area Plan, which will establish land use controls and design guidelines for the larger station area, including properties controlled by UTA. The Thanksgiving Point Area Plan will be added to the Lehi Station Area Plan as an appendix once it is adopted by the city.
As required by state statute and UTA Board Policy 5.1, the UTA Local Advisory Council has approved the proposed Station Area Plan by resolution AR2023-02-03 and has recommended adoption of the Lehi FrontRunner Station Area Plan by the Board of Trustees.
DISCUSSION:
The subject planning area covers approximately ½ mile from the Lehi Frontrunner station, including areas recognized as Thanksgiving Point. The proposed Station Area Plan incorporates the following recommendations:
• The existing park & ride would be reduced to approximately 300 stalls and integrated into future transit-oriented development.
• It is recommended that the site be configured to accommodate a future fixed-guideway transit line to be integrated into the future transit-oriented development and accessible from the Frontrunner Platform.
• Land uses recommended for the site include: 200 residential units, 270,000 Square Feet Office, and approximately 50,000 Square Feet of Retail space.
State statute and UTA Board policy require Station Area Plans to be adopted by the Board of Trustees prior to UTA’s involvement in implementing the associated development.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Lehi Station Area Plan has been formally adopted by the Lehi City Council and approved by UTA’s Local Advisory Council. Any modifications will require an amendment and additional approvals.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No immediate impact
