Staff reported the plan changes Lot 1 from a townhome-commercial mix to commercial-only, and found the overall development meets the EAMP residential requirement because a senior housing building on Lot 5 fulfills the residential component.

Staff noted Lot 1 is a 3.21-acre parcel within an 8-acre CC-zoned development and that the revised proposal calls for two commercial buildings of about 8,250 and 3,500 square feet. The plan was approved based on revised staff recommendations and standard sign-offs, and the commission also voted to accept the associated EAMP compliance report.

Applicant representative Josh Cecil with NJL said he agreed with staff recommendations. Commissioners approved the development plan and the EAMP compliance report; staff will complete the usual technical sign-offs before final certifications.","The commission approved an amended development plan for Secure Justice Property Unit 6, Polo Club Center Lot 1, changing a proposed townhome-commercial mix to commercial only; staff found the project met the EAMP residential requirement due to existing senior housing on Lot 5.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6660639,"Commission approves Hamburg East amendment for Firebirds Wood Fired Grill with staff conditions",942,1850000,2792000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2434670-41ee0b88587e1b03abcbd47f724b3d32&start=1850&end=2792","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2434670-41ee0b88587e1b03abcbd47f724b3d32/thumbnail_1850000.jpg","/articles/6660639/Lexington-City/Fayette-County/Kentucky/Commission-approves-Hamburg-East-amendment-for-Firebirds-Wood-Fired-Grill-with-staff-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660639-3bbb1755aaf1a51967fe12c673869e42/orig.mp4?Expires=1770896846&Signature=a1Cxg0I-cvczzRL3FO8pIE2WbLM5PZAIJo68Joh7FEoIqMx-aj8LdUPlXZK8YSEeAgXw-0YgmilC8L2BCga6~2Mr1XyA42blVgYyYH~pp9GpsSFX3I4so1VLBkncTz530CWe9dNEgoLD1J01hHtqrx1kRGrjodhUbSiSc2YtuZESTHdCBDX0vjWkhRsVhsP8DD5Fe4cKf1axav-bP5pqLpRHvcdlzf50yULvwSyWEaniYj9s9NlYcw1wfUAyNHqpSsrCpYUPL~GCesrynshLyFiJCZ-xughpm4H2r9GY073Yz6oSNO4tVuNwwtSmQY7R52tOnMrgwV7Gn8Kv4I5sjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Development Planning Commission approved the development plan amendment (PLN MJDP 24-100 Hamburg East Lot 4C) to revise the building footprint, square footage, parking and circulation for the proposed Firebirds Wood Fired Grill at 2400 Polo Club Boulevard. Commissioners also accepted the Expansion Area Master Plan (EAMP) compliance report for the site.

Planning staff reported the site is in Zone CC within the expansion area and that revised plans had been submitted on Feb. 3. Staff recommended approval subject to a set of conditions that remain outstanding: an updated tree protection plan and inventory for Lot 4C, notation of exactions to the Division of Planning, and a lighting plan meeting Article 30 of the zoning ordinance. During the hearing commissioners noted they did not have the revised plan documents displayed in the meeting packet and asked staff to provide legible materials for review; staff acknowledged the omission but confirmed the compliance finding remains.

A motion to approve PLN MJDP 24-100 with the 17 proposed conditions carried; a separate motion to accept the EAMP compliance report for the site also passed unanimously.

The vote followed staff presentations and a development-plan review that identified required conditions and sign-offs.

Staff described the site as roughly 0.99 acres on Canebrake Drive, north of the interstate, in an area the urban growth master plan labels for flex industrial uses. Planning staff said the proposed use—an enclosed building to store large RVs—aligns with the place-type and development-type recommendations of the master plan, and that the project would add sidewalk connections and street trees where none currently exist.

Commissioners asked several technical questions about parking, vehicular-use area landscaping and a proposed on-site RV dump station. Planning staff said whether the paved circulation areas are labeled “parking” or “circulation” they are subject to vehicular-use-area landscaping standards and screening requirements. Tony Thomas, representing the applicant (D and J Realty owner David Samarkar), described the proposed building as enclosing five large RVs and said the applicant will design a sanitary dump station to meet local sanitary requirements and connect to an existing manhole on the site’s south corner.

Commissioner Baker moved to approve the map amendment PLN MAR 25-1 (D and J Realty) from B-5-P to I-1; Commissioner Jonathan Davis seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The commission also moved to approve PLN MJDP 24-93 (development plan for Covey Ridge Lot 4) and later voted to approve PLN MJDP 20-493 (the Canebrake development plan) subject to the revised staff recommendations that require depiction of parking per Article 16, sidewalk facilities, and other standard conditions. Staff noted final certification of the development plan remains contingent on submittal of the required revised plan documents and technical sign-offs.","The commission approved rezoning of 125 Canebrake from B5P to I-1 for an enclosed recreational-vehicle storage facility and accepted revised staff recommendations for the companion development plan, subject to standard sign-offs and conditions including sidewalks, parking depiction and a dump-station design.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6660647,"Red Mile mixed-use plan postponed for two weeks after commissioners raise 40% commercial limit and parking concerns",527,1316000,1843000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2434670-41ee0b88587e1b03abcbd47f724b3d32&start=1316&end=1843","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2434670-41ee0b88587e1b03abcbd47f724b3d32/thumbnail_1316000.jpg","/articles/6660647/Lexington-City/Fayette-County/Kentucky/Red-Mile-mixed-use-plan-postponed-for-two-weeks-after-commissioners-raise-40-commercial-limit-and-parking-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6660647-0f858561b9cb810927c6333aa04bdf1d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770896846&Signature=jF30ft9f4i3XparNprDmDTgnGsx0zEDXawMjrD83nkOyqPUUHiqfzM3gPUkX52Yo19dcZg3q5KckkrTk5xLXVo2g8L9DZNqCfWlMLZbLvESjJgR5ZRCgoXHChwsFgY96ka1JgaCSCKgnlJ1Zoumcp6AaWffZV8jU-1g25KSlVsFccQ8-z4s7iXW1Bs71XFX2QBFf3bHFTspDArwKp-oOk0PdREljic0uiyqCHtpbsyzKBCXIuKyxef~EULCxM9512KVfG8eeVqSjaWxlRw0irWPan1jjV5oLiuatTCwNn4RkQLMiCSxznAj7Zx5kHPOsBtyTZ4ZOCY00yt5pCP5U3A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Development Planning Commission on an unspecified March hearing postponed consideration of the Red Mile Mixed-Use Development plan for two weeks to March 13.

Commissioners and the applicant discussed a newly flagged condition that would limit commercial square footage at the Red Mile site to 40% of the project until a mixed-use building is constructed. Matt Carter of Vision Engineering, representing the applicant, confirmed the 40% threshold arose from a zoning/article 28 interpretation and that staff had prepared a note to add to the plan to show the permitted square footage until the mixed-use building is constructed. Carter said the team has been addressing tree mitigation required for a proposed hotel and had proposed planting 32 replacement trees as part of their mitigation plan.

Commissioner Jonathan Davis asked whether the development plan could be approved while the mixed-use building remained to be delivered; staff said the plan could move forward with a note denoting the restricted permitted square footage until the mixed-use component is built. Commissioners pressed about parking and the development’s history: one commissioner noted the plan had been postponed several times (the transcript references six or seven postponements) and asked why issues persist at this stage. Commissioners also requested staff review prior small-area work and earlier parking-garage concepts for the larger Red Mile area to ensure consistency with earlier planning efforts.

After discussion, Commissioner Owens moved to postpone PLN MJDP 24-56 (Red Mile Mixed Use Development) for two weeks to March 13; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

The commission directed that, at the March 13 hearing, the applicant and staff should clarify the 40% commercial threshold, provide the tree mitigation plan and address parking and consistency with previous small-area planning for the broader Red Mile site. No final development approvals or conditions (other than the deferral) were adopted at the meeting.","The Development Planning Commission voted to postpone the Red Mile Mixed-Use Development plan two weeks to March 13 after commissioners and the applicant discussed a new 40% commercial cap, tree mitigation and parking issues.","actionData","errors"]
