LEXINGTON, Ky. — A major mixed-use development combining a Kroger supermarket with 288 residential units is scheduled to appear before the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Planning Commission, according to a subdivision committee agenda dated June 4, 2026.
The Patchen Wilkes Unit 2 project at 1811 Winchester Road, being handled by EA Partners, would develop eight multi-family buildings with 288 apartments on the site. The technical subdivision committee recommended the project’s approval subject to addressing multiple design and infrastructure requirements.
However, the development plan still faces significant revisions before moving forward. The committee identified 22 requirements that have not yet been met, including specifications for open space, building heights, landscaping buffers, stormwater management details and pedestrian access. The staff also flagged design considerations related to sanitary sewer capacity and the storm water management proposal.
The planning committee will scrutinize how pedestrians will access the proposed Kroger location on an adjacent lot and whether the developer has resolved a Letter of Map Revision status. Committee members noted the need to align access points between the two properties and clarify ownership and maintenance responsibilities for stormwater management areas.
The project is tentatively scheduled for the June 11 Planning Commission meeting. Final approval would require Urban County Engineer acceptance of drainage and utility infrastructure, traffic engineer approval of street access, landscape and tree preservation assessments, and sign-off from the Water Quality Division on capacity requirements.
The planning panel also considered an amendment to Greendale Hills Unit 3 on Mulundy Way, where a developer requested an extension to add commercial buildings and associated parking to a previously approved residential plan. That project was approved by the Planning Commission in June 2024 and now appears on a tentative schedule for June 11 consideration.
Four other subdivision and development proposals were postponed, including projects on Upper Street, Southland Drive and South Broadway. They are tentatively rescheduled for consideration in June, July and later summer dates.
