The city of Lexington will hold a public hearing for the Urban Growth Master Plan on Thursday, Oct. 17, at 1:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber of the Government Center. The meeting aims to gather public input for the full draft of the Urban Growth Master Plan (UGMP) before its adoption.
Public engagement is a key part of the planning process, and community feedback is essential for this project. Residents can comment in person at the hearing or provide their opinions online at urbangrowthlex.com. Comments or questions can also be emailed to imagine@lexingtonky.gov.
Lexington’s Division of Planning is leading the 2024 Urban Growth Plan process with assistance from TSW Design, a consultant hired to help research and write the Master Plan.
"This plan is the culmination of an intense year-long project I’ve had the privilege of leading,” said Sam Castro from TSW Design. “By establishing a master plan for 2,800 acres with the potential to accommodate at least 17,000 new homes, the idea is to promote walkable neighborhoods while protecting and integrating greenways and open space throughout and providing a greater mix and variety of housing to make finding a home more attainable. By maximizing the land, we can also continue to protect Lexington's agricultural land."
Individuals with disabilities who require assistance to participate in this meeting should contact Planning at (859) 258-3160 in advance so arrangements can be made.
