The Lehi City Council considered a land acquisition for the 2300 West road widening project during its meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 22, according to a report published September 25. The council also addressed a 2.68-acre annexation proposal, while a contested rezone for the Traverse Mountain Area was pulled from the agenda.
Resolution #2026-52, regarding the land acquisition for the 2300 West project, appeared on the council's consent agenda. The city's fiscal year 2026 budget describes the project as an expansion from two lanes to five lanes with sidewalks between Main Street and 1500 North.
The budget indicates $7 million in Mountainland Association of Governments funding for the segment between Main Street and 2100 North in FY2026. A second segment, spanning Main Street to Pioneer, carries $12 million across FY2026 through FY2029. While acquisition prices and parcel details were attached to the council agenda, they were not included in the publicly available documents.
The council also considered Resolution #2026-54, a measure to begin annexing 2.68 acres located at approximately 1300 South 1700 West. Danny Logan petitioned for the annexation. Under Utah law, a resolution of intent serves as a preliminary step that starts the annexation process but does not complete it.
A request from Perry Commercial to amend the Traverse Mountain Area Plan was postponed at the petitioner's request. The proposal, Ordinance #41-2026, sought to change roughly five acres at Timpanogos Highway and Mountain View Road from High Density Residential to Highway Commercial.
This request had previously been tabled at an Aug. 13 Planning Commission meeting before advancing through an Aug. 27 hearing. The proposal faced opposition from Traverse Mountain residents via the Engage Lehi page. Resident Rob Ludlow stated in an Aug. 17 public comment that Perry has already used all 260 dwelling units allocated under the 2012 Traverse Mountain Area Plan and borrowed 48 more from a neighboring parcel to build The Vue's 308 apartments. Ludlow characterized the proposal as planning by exception and noted a lack of public contributions in return.
No rescheduled date for the Traverse Mountain rezone has been announced. While meeting minutes confirming final vote outcomes for the Sept. 22 agenda items were not available as of Sept. 24, residents can still submit comments on the Perry Commercial proposal through the Engage Lehi page.
