Farm Nuisance Protection

Lehi's Development Code shields existing farms from nuisance friction with new subdivisions. Any development built next to agricultural land must fence the boundary, and the final plat must carry a permanent notice warning future residents that farm sounds, odors, and livestock risks are normal and expected.

Lehi Right-to-Farm Nuisance Protection

Some Restrictions

Lehi City Development Code § 18.030.B

A note shall be placed on the final plat that states: "This area is subject to the normal, everyday sounds, odors, sights, equipment, facilities, pests, and any other aspects associated with agricultural lifestyle. Future residents shall also recognize the risks inherent with livestock."

Agricultural Zoning Protection

Lehi sets aside three zones, Agriculture-5, Agriculture-1, and R-1-22, specifically to keep large-lot land available for farming and ranching. Development in or next to those zones then triggers the Chapter 18 right-to-farm review before the City will approve it.

Lehi Agricultural Zoning Districts

Light Restrictions

Lehi City Development Code § 05.020.B

B. The Very Low Density Residential Agricultural Districts (A-5, A-1, and R-1-22) provide for large-lot single-family residential areas. These districts are designed to encourage lands suited for farming and ranching operations.
