The proposed zone change to multi-use would permit high-density housing, commercial, and light industrial development at 3502/3506 Lexington Rd. This area is currently identified as single-family residential on the future land use map (Madison County Comprehensive Plan (2021), p. 19). Our community would like to see the land use zone remain single-family residential. 

The Fiscal Court has not yet added this issue to their agenda. Their agenda is posted the Friday afternoon prior to the Tuesday morning meeting. This delay has been a relief as we have had time to understand the proposal and process, engage stakeholders, and review applicable laws/regulations. If you would like to read the county Comprehensive Plan and guidelines regarding land use, development, and subdivisions, you can find them here: https://madisoncountyky.us/index.php/comprehensive-plan

***PLEASE NOTE: The recommendation by the Planning and Development Commission in support of the zone change was based on the Madison County Comprehensive Plan. Specifically quoted was p. 22, paragraph titled, “Northern Madison County.” We contest this paragraph was taken grossly out of context. If you look at the Future Land Use Map on p. 19 and read the Development Criteria, the detailed description is contrary to the zone change recommendation.
All arguments against the zone change should state the zone change IS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

While schools, emergency services, traffic/road conditions, etc. will all be impacted by this development, the decision hinges on if PUD UC-11 zone is/is not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan.

For this issue, our united community will be referred to as Neighbors for Deliberate Development.
