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
Land use regulations and development approval processes. In Lexington, this includes zoning changes, development standards, subdivision approvals, and how planning policies shape neighborhood development and growth.

The Blue Sky Area was not included in the Urban Growth Master Plan. Now, Planning Staff and their consultants will develop a vision for how it will fit into the Urban Service Area expansion.
