Danville City Council approves first reading of zoning change for Houstonville Road

The Danville City Commission made significant strides in urban development during their regular meeting on April 28, 2025, by approving the first reading of Ordinance 2047. This ordinance proposes a zoning change for a property located at 714 Houstonville Road, shifting its designation from two-family residential (RM-2) to Highway Business (HB). This change will affect approximately 0.155 acres of land and is expected to facilitate commercial growth in the area.

The motion to approve the ordinance was met with unanimous support from the commission, indicating a strong consensus on the importance of this development. The city clerk provided a detailed reading of the ordinance, and after a brief discussion, the commission proceeded to a roll call vote, with all members voting in favor.

In addition to the zoning change, City Manager highlighted ongoing improvements to intersection lighting on Highway 2168, which is currently a project managed by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC). This update reflects the city’s commitment to enhancing public safety and infrastructure.

The decisions made during this meeting are poised to have a lasting impact on Danville’s commercial landscape and community safety, paving the way for future developments and improvements. As the city moves forward, residents can anticipate further updates on these initiatives and their implementation.
