Draft Urban Growth Master Plan - Public Hearings
 
Detailed Plan Click Here
 
The consultants have finalized the draft Urban Growth Master Plan (UGMP), which can be viewed at www.urbangrowthlex.com.
 
The draft was developed to identify new urban land for housing and economic development, as stated in Goal 3 of Imagine Lexington 2045. Beginning in August 2023, the Planning Commission, stakeholders, neighborhood and community interests, and others worked to designate new land and create a plan for its future development to help address Lexington's housing needs.
 
To fulfill the Council’s direction to complete the plan by December 1, the Planning Commission has scheduled public hearings on October 17 to present the plan and take public comments and on October 31 to finalize the adoption plan. 
 
The planning staff has put together an Urban Growth Master Plan Fall Update with more information about the draft development and the upcoming hearings.
 
The draft plan recommended further consideration of an Infrastructure Funding Plan (IFP) for the new areas. Planning staff will continue collaborating across the government, the community, and stakeholders to develop an IFP that is fiscally responsible and supports the adopted UGMP.
