LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Planning Commission’s Subdivision Committee is set to consider three major development proposals that would bring multi-family housing and commercial space to different parts of Lexington, according to a meeting agenda for today.
The most advanced proposal would transform several properties near the University of Kentucky campus. Lyndhurst Place, a multi-family development project involving properties on East High Street, Hagerman Court, and Stone Avenue in District 3, is scheduled for a Planning Commission hearing on Oct. 4. The development would require rezoning from Medium Density Residential and Professional Office zones to Downtown Frame Business, according to the agenda.
The Subdivision Committee recommended approval of Lyndhurst Place subject to the Urban County Council approving the proposed zone change and correcting several technical deficiencies in the development plan. These include adding landscape buffers, bicycle parking spaces within 20 feet of the building entrance, and clarifying stormwater management plans, the agenda states.
A second project, Berry Crest, would redevelop property on Nicholasville Road and Pasadena Drive in District 10. The 1.61-acre site includes parcels at 131 and 147 Pasadena Drive and 2395 Nicholasville Road. The project would require rezoning from Single-Family Residential to Neighborhood Business and has been scheduled for a Planning Commission hearing on Oct. 4.
Staff recommendations for Berry Crest include a drive-thru conditional use permit, removal of existing Pasadena entrances with new sidewalks and curbs, and resolution of stormwater and sanitary sewer capacity issues. The committee also recommended this project for approval pending the zone change and correction of 15 noted deficiencies in the development plan.
A third proposal, Turner Commons, involves three parcels at Forbes Road, West Main Street, and Turner Commons Way in District 11. The project would consolidate existing parcels and redevelop them under an Industrial Redevelopment Planned Unit Development zone. However, the Technical Committee recommended postponement of this proposal, citing questions about conformance with multiple zoning ordinance requirements.
All three projects would require final Urban County Council approval of their proposed zone changes before the Planning Commission could issue final approvals, according to the agenda.
