LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Planning Commission’s Zoning Committee is scheduled to consider zoning changes and land-use regulations during a meeting on July 2, according to the official agenda.

The committee will review a petition from Plumbers and Steamfitters Local No. 452 Building Corporation seeking a zone change for approximately 4.9 acres at 1770 and 1800 Harrodsburg Road from Single-Family Residential to Corridor Business. The Fayette County Board of Education approved the sale of the former Southside Technical Center building to the union for $5.5 million in April 2026, intending to repurpose it for trade training operations.

The committee is also scheduled to consider three new zoning ordinance text amendments. One would address large-scale solar energy systems in agricultural zones and establish provisions for brownfield development. The proposed solar amendment follows months of work by a council solar working group that examined how large-scale installations could be regulated on farmland while protecting agricultural land.

A second amendment would add a definition for attended donation centers and allow them in certain commercial zones including Corridor Business (B-3), Wholesale and Warehouse Business (B-4), and other districts. The third amendment would create new regulations for data center uses across Lexington.

The agenda also lists four postponed zoning map amendment petitions. These include applications from Mt. Laurel Lands Company, South Broadway Project Owner LLC, Edward McGhee, and RAK Properties Lexington for various properties throughout the county. The meeting is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. ET at the Phoenix Building’s third-floor conference room, with the next Zoning Committee meeting set for August 6.
