This presentation will mark the final scheduled update in a year-long process that began in January. If adopted, this would be Lexington's new framework for determining how and if to expand the Urban Service Area
Residential development, housing policy, and affordability issues. This includes zoning changes, development regulations, housing programs, and policies affecting renters and homeowners throughout Lexington.
While this ruling blocks the proposed eight-story, 322-unit apartment complex, the developer could still demolish the existing buildings and construct a new four-story, 75-foot structure under the site’s current R-4 zoning without any additional public input.
Most of the revisions added since the first draft from March add or adjust definitions of terms mirror state laws regulating sober living homes, or add points of clarification regarding how LFUCG would enforce the ordinance.
Developer Ross Boggess has been nominated by the Mayor to fill the current Board of Adjustment vacancy. Council will decide whether or not to approve his nomination.
