Lehi residents near 915 West State Street have organized a petition asking Lehi City to consider a split-zone compromise for the area. The residents stated they need the city to protect Trinnaman Lane and its surrounding neighborhood.
According to a September 1 report, resident Sheena Welch posted the petition on August 21. Welch stated that Trinnaman Lane is facing a battle between individuals and the city master plan and requested help collecting signatures.
The petition addresses a rezoning request made by the Walker family, who own the property at 915 West State Street. During a Lehi City Council meeting on July 14, 2026, Debbie Walker explained that the family must sell the property to reconcile their parents' estate. She noted the house is in disrepair and requires new plumbing and electrical work.
Neighbors expressed opposition to the rezoning during the July council meeting, stating that heavy commercial zoning would harm the neighborhood and transform Trinnaman Lane from a safe neighborhood street into a thoroughfare for heavy equipment.
The city council denied the rezoning request in July but noted the Walkers retain the right to sell the property. The council asked the owners if they would consider a developer agreement that would place restrictions on the current developer and any future owners.
The new petition asks that the Walker property be split into two pieces. This proposal suggests making the back half of the property purely residential to prevent Trinnaman Lane from becoming an access point for a proposed heavy commercial area. The petition claims a buffer zone alone would not sufficiently protect residential home values.
The matter is included on the September 8 city council agenda. The item is labeled as a development agreement consideration regarding the Nancy Walker Development Agreement for 2.581 acres at 915 W. State Street, which would allow certain restricted heavy commercial uses and other site restrictions.
