Lehi, UT Zoning Overlays & Bonuses: Downtown Design Guide (2026)

050 of the Lehi City Development Code, part of Chapter 37 Design Standards, governs the outdoor public spaces that make up downtown Lehi: streets, parking areas, sidewalks, and plazas. The section states its standards "apply to the specific streets and places described in the Downtown Lehi Revitalization Plan (2007)" and are meant to guide Lehi City, UDOT, property owners, designers, and developers as both public infrastructure and private sites are improved in the downtown core. The code breaks downtown into seven street types, each with its own paving, lighting, and landscaping rules.

Main Street's Historic Core (500 West to 100 East) requires brick or concrete unit pavers in medium-to-dark tones, while the Transition Zone (100 East to 500 East) and Business Zone (500 East to 850 East) require standard poured-in-place concrete. State Street Boulevard improvements must be coordinated with the Utah Department of Transportation. Every street type requires street trees over 35 feet high and wide at maturity that are hardy, drought-tolerant, and water-conserving, and prohibits species that heave paving or are difficult to maintain. Furnishings such as benches, trash receptacles, tree grates, and bollards must be limited to a coordinated range, and streetlights must come from a single model line so downtown reads as unified.

Fences and walls are separately restricted under subsection D: those over four feet are confined to the rear and sides of buildings, must be built of solid materials fitting the area's character, and may not use vinyl or chain link. 010) reinforces the same downtown vision of a walkable center with ground-floor retail and municipal buildings along Main Street from 500 West to 500 East.
