The Context
In 2023, Lexington’s Planning Commission recommended a 2,800 acre expansion of its Urban Service Boundary in five locations across Fayette County.
Now, we have one year to create a plan for urban development, transportation, parks, and infrastructure and more in the expansion areas.
The Process
Part One:
Gather Information & Input
We’ll develop guiding principles for the expansion areas based on community input, market data, and an understanding of existing conditions.
Part Two:
Build Concepts & Draft Plan
The guiding principles will help us develop concepts for how urban development, transportation, parks, and infrastructure should be built in the areas.
Part Three:
Review & Check
We’ll gather public feedback on the concepts, make any needed revisions, and then create a detailed plan for how these concepts will be implemented.
What values will guide the plan?
The 2024 Urban Growth Plan will be guided by:
Five values from Lexington’s 2023 Comprehensive Plan, which express the needs and desires of the entire city
The individual characteristics and existing conditions of the five expansion areas
We want to know how this expansion can…
Build Successful Neighborhoods through housing, neighborhood design, and community facilities
Protect the Environment, including Lexington’s waterways, carbon footprint, and natural resources
Create Jobs & Prosperity by attracting jobs to Lexington, building up local businesses, and improving economic mobility
Improve Transportation Networks with complete streets, public transit, and better traffic management
Promote Social & Racial Equity through housing, transportation jobs, and policy
We also need to consider the existing conditions of…
Parkers Mill & Man O War
Winchester Road & Hume Road
Athens-Boonesboro & Brenda Cowan
Todds Road & Canebrake Drive
Blue Sky
