LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Planning Commission’s Zoning Committee is scheduled to consider four new zoning map amendments on Wednesday that would reshape commercial and residential development across Lexington, according to the official meeting agenda.
The committee is meeting at 1:30 p.m. in the Phoenix Building’s 3rd Floor Conference Room to review proposals that include a downtown Main Street rezoning, conversion of agricultural property to commercial use, and residential development expansion in outlying areas.
A Cowgill Development proposal would rezone nearly half an acre at 512 and 518 E Main Street from Professional Office to Downtown Frame Business zoning, potentially enabling mixed-use development in the core downtown corridor. The proposal includes variances to reduce buffer requirements for vehicular use areas and property perimeter buffers, and would eliminate a required cross-access connection.
Three other zoning map amendments are also on the agenda. OK Gentry, LLC seeks to rezone approximately 45 acres on Athens Boonesboro Road from agricultural and interchange service business zones to corridor business zoning. Ball Homes, LLC is requesting conversion of 37 acres at 5085 Athens Boonesboro Road from agricultural to medium-density residential zoning. Anderson Communities, LLC proposes rezoning 123 acres at 4200 Todds Road from agricultural use to a mix of neighborhood business and medium-density residential zones.
The committee will also address four postponed zoning applications, including Mt. Laurel Lands Company’s proposal to convert property on Old Paris Road to warehouse business use, and similar residential rezoning requests on Tates Creek Road, Saron Drive, and Sir Barton Way that have drawn community opposition over traffic and connectivity concerns. One postponed text amendment would allow attended donation centers as a principal use in certain commercial zones.
The Planning Commission’s Zoning Committee reviews proposals and makes recommendations to the Urban County Council for zone change requests. Its next meeting is scheduled for September 3.
