Lexington Planning Commission to discuss Blue Sky Area Master Plan and housing updates

The Lexington Planning Commission is gearing up for a significant work session on July 17, where key updates on the Blue Sky Area Master Plan and the Downtown Master Plan will take center stage. The meeting, set to take place at 1:30 PM in the Phoenix Building, promises to deliver crucial insights into the implementation of House Bill 443, now known as Kentucky Revised Statute 102.75.

Commission members expressed anticipation for the Blue Sky update, highlighting its importance in shaping the future of Lexington. "The Blue Sky update will be significant," one member noted, emphasizing the need for thorough discussion on what has been learned in the area.

Affordable housing remains a pressing concern, with discussions indicating a need for more community input. Mr. Wilson acknowledged that there has been little progress since the last presentation, but assured members that the commission is aware of the community's interest in this issue and plans to revisit it soon.

As the commission prepares for its upcoming meeting, the focus on urban development and housing solutions underscores the ongoing commitment to enhancing Lexington's livability and sustainability. The outcomes of the July 17 session could have lasting implications for the city's growth and community engagement.
