The Lexington Planning Commission Subdivision Committee convened on June 5, 2025, to discuss several key development plans and address community concerns. The meeting focused on two main agenda items, with an emphasis on safety, stormwater management, and community outreach.

The first item addressed was the postponement of the development plan for South Broadway Place, known as PLN MJDP 2526. The discussion highlighted the removal of a driveway aimed at enhancing safety by reducing the number of exits in the area. The committee acknowledged ongoing concerns regarding stormwater management and the sanitary sewer line, indicating that further adjustments to the plan would be necessary. A representative from Anderson Communities confirmed that community outreach had begun, with plans for a neighborhood meeting to engage local homeowners, particularly as the area transitions from student rentals to more diverse housing options for professionals.

Following this, the committee moved on to the second agenda item, MJDP 25-27, which proposed a new development at 1811 Winchester Road. This plan includes a 27,000 square foot grocery store, a gas station, and 54 multifamily dwelling units. The proposal seeks to change the zoning from neighborhood business and residential to a commercial center. The committee discussed the need for pedestrian connections between the multifamily units and the grocery store, as well as the orientation of the grocery store towards Charleston Drive to improve accessibility.

The meeting concluded with a motion to postpone the first development plan, which passed unanimously. The committee emphasized the importance of addressing community concerns and ensuring that the development aligns with the needs of local residents. Further discussions and adjustments to both plans are anticipated in future meetings as the committee continues to engage with stakeholders and refine the proposals.
