The application sought to rezone several parcels to R-4 and to amend a final development plan to increase multifamily capacity (the applicant said the request would enable roughly 220 dwelling units across the site). Planning staff recommended postponement because of outstanding stormwater management questions, sewer conflicts where structures overlap utility easements, and concerns about sidewalk and street termination details on Simpson Avenue.

Applicant Tony Barrett, representing Anderson Communities, told the commission the developer will meet with staff and neighborhood residents and expects to make “some tweaks” to address the technical items and the homeowners’ concerns. Jeremy Young of planning staff said the project involves three parcels and a portion of another, and staff found the proposed change consistent with an enhanced-neighborhood place type but asked for postponement to allow resolution of the engineering and connectivity issues.

Neighborhood outreach and public comment
The applicant said staff-level talks have occurred with nearby homeowners and that a formal neighborhood meeting is planned. In the meeting a resident who said he represents a local homeowners association urged the developer and staff to consider off-site buffering and to avoid tying a private townhouse street to the new development. Planning staff noted that the downstream drainage route includes a pipe under the railroad and that water-quality and flood issues need documented analysis.

Why the postponement
Planning staff and the technical review committee identified stormwater sizing and location of proposed detention, sanitary sewer conflicts with building footprints, and Simpson Avenue termination/cull-de-sac waiver considerations as unresolved. Staff asked the applicant to return with revised plans that denote common open space, final site statistics, a tree inventory and stormwater documentation demonstrating the proposal will not worsen off-site flooding.

Next steps
The applicant and staff agreed to continue technical work and hold a neighborhood meeting. When the engineering, stormwater and utility concerns are resolved, the application will return to the planning commission for further consideration.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lexington - Planning Commission Subdivision (Sub) Committee - Jun 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Planning staff and the applicant agreed to postpone a proposed rezoning and amended development plan for South Broadway Place so engineers can resolve stormwater, sewer and connectivity conflicts and the applicant can hold neighborhood outreach.","taxTitle","Lexington City, Fayette County, Kentucky","taxId",5707,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6526886,"Planning commission approves multiple site plans, postpones two large developments",2827,3127000,5954000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3681892-0f092865125aad487488af719a530e0c&start=3127&end=5954","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3681892-0f092865125aad487488af719a530e0c/thumbnail_3127000.jpg","/articles/6526886/Lexington-City/Fayette-County/Kentucky/Planning-commission-approves-multiple-site-plans-postpones-two-large-developments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6526886-7dc2a5df575b989ff6ea3269aebc7830/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448648&Signature=I~~T2aomwgAgPtu1MUFqV~yPT7-EnjOlcRIPNcvLEENtMSMoOkBRHr6JqEESscPBBTPY9Cq5hGQzF145aNhTOvhdgwo67NWkO8jsxH1Q81GAz~sH7sOWD5hJp3Z8CHUmb2tFfcr23Lq4EoPg0VIptB0moeVpHkBF1omI5BTo998wjhNIxfiy4WJDF4nyxDbTWFVKCPvb0wPJ-hXMMqiOwlNf7IEf0MXDUAWud8yf-58dqSHS1dmKDeKS7GTFLJxnDqdtX9j50C2GnnRv6lxM6Xw74eHYkgWORrJEYAtkPyXTsAaALWggC7G9kw5tsSYyNJymbltTdklnvpDaY4iXhw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Planning Commission on June 2 recommended approval of several final development plans and an extension, while postponing two larger applications that raised questions about storm drainage, pedestrian connections and other technical issues.

Among the items approved by voice vote were the amended Patch & Wilkes Unit 1 Phase 2 subdivision, the Locust Hill Shopping Center redevelopment (PLN MJDP 25-12) with revised conditions, an industrial building addition at Enterprise Industrial West (MJDP 25-25), a Coleman Property hotel (MJDP 25-29), a zone-change request and site plan for a small commercial lot on Chestnut Street (PLN MJDP 25-28, “On the Block LLC”), an extension request for Greendale Hills Unit 3, and the Givens outparcel plan that includes a 7 Brew Coffee drive-through (PLN MJDP 24-99). Most approvals were voice votes with conditions specified in staff reports.

The commission postponed two larger proposals for additional revisions and technical review: a zone-change and amended preliminary development plan for South Broadway Place (PLN MJDP 25-26), and the mixed-use Patch & Wilkes Unit 2 application (MJDP 25-27) that included a proposed 27,000-square-foot Kroger marketplace, a fueling station and 54 multifamily units. Planning staff cited unresolved stormwater and sanitary sewer questions, pedestrian connectivity and a small area of mapped floodplain as reasons to hold both items for further work.

Votes at a glance
- PLN SMJ SUB 253 — Patch & Wilkes Unit 1, Phase 2 (amended): Motion for recommendation of approval carried on voice vote. Conditions: revised per staff; details in staff report.

Postponed for further review
- PLN MJDP 25-26 — South Broadway Place (zone change/amended PDP): Postponed at applicant/staff request so stormwater, sewer alignment and connectivity issues can be resolved; commission motion carried on voice vote.
- MJDP 25-27 — Patch & Wilkes Unit 2 (Kroger Marketplace, fueling station, 54 multifamily units): Postponed by commission motion; staff recommended additional work on stormwater management, pedestrian connections and place-builder criteria.

What commissioners said
Commissioners acted primarily on staff recommendations. When a motion was made, it was seconded and carried on voice vote for the approved items. For the postponed items staff repeatedly identified stormwater management, sanitary capacity and pedestrian connectivity as outstanding technical issues that should be resolved before a recommendation to the council.

Why it matters
Approvals clear the way for building permits or further final development plan processing for a range of projects—from neighborhood retail to a hotel and small industrial expansion—affecting traffic, parking and small-scale economic activity in the city. The two postponed applications involve larger scale land-use and infrastructure implications (hundreds of housing units and a major grocery+fuel node) and therefore require additional engineering and community coordination.

What’s next
Staff will continue review with applicants on the postponed items and bring revised plans or supplemental studies back to the commission for further action. Projects that received recommendations will continue through the final sign-off and permit stages; the staff report lists specific conditions for each approval.","At its June 2 meeting the Lexington-Fayette Planning Commission recommended approval of several final development plans and extensions with revised conditions and postponed two larger, more complex applications for additional study of stormwater and connectivity.","actionData","errors"]
