Why this petition matters

Started by Katherine Atty

As many of you know, the property at 3042 Hikes Lane (formerly St Barnabas/St John Paul II) in Louisville, Kentucky, is under contract between the Catholic Archdiocese of Louisville and LDG Development LLC. The property is currently zoned at R-4. LDG has filed their application for rezoning change to R8A, against the advice of MSD. Area residents are very concerned about the massive increase in traffic, what will become of the graveyard attached to the property, and the large potential for more sewage issues. 

This is Metro Planning Case #20-ZONE-0090

WHAT WE OPPOSE:
•Drastic Rezoning from Current R-4 (single family).

•LDG is interested in a zoning change to R-8A (allows 58 units per acre, MOST extreme density allowed in Louisville) = more profit for developer, but not the best for our community.

•Consider a lesser zone change;
R-5 (12 units per acre) approx. 114 units on 9.5 acres
R-6 (17.42 units per acre) approx. 165 units on 9.5 acres
R-7 (34.8 units per acre) approx. 330 units on 9.5 acres

•Also, the 4 story structure with 4 story parking garage is not consistent with the neighborhood. Please consider a 2-story structure.

Thanks for all your hard work, neighbors! We need all the help we can get! If you would like more direction on what you can do to stop this overdevelopment on Hikes Lane, please *like* this page: https://www.facebook.com/save3042hikeslane/
