Council accepts goals of Bullitt County 02/2025 comprehensive plan; members link housing to public‑service planning
Summary
Shepherdsville’s council read ordinance 025007 to accept the goals and objectives of the Bullitt County 02/2025 comprehensive plan. Council members said the plan underscores the city’s responsibility to ensure new development has sufficient emergency, school and utility capacity.
The Shepherdsville City Council read ordinance 025007, which accepts the goals and objectives of the Bullitt County 02/2025 comprehensive plan.
Council member Jennifer Mendez sponsored the ordinance reading. During discussion, council member Brad quoted the plan’s community‑facilities objectives to emphasize the council’s role in ensuring growth is matched by services: he read objective language saying the county should "ensure that new development and future growth areas are adequately served by public facilities and services, such as emergency response, schools, recreation, solid waste disposal," and to "identify existing development that is not adequately served by public facilities and utilities and create a plan to equitably distribute these services."
Council members said adopting the county plan’s goals will inform future land‑use and infrastructure decisions, including where the city encourages residential growth. They discussed the plan in the context of the annexation presentation earlier in the meeting and said staff should align annexation and development reviews with the plan’s service and facilities objectives.
No final adoption vote on ordinance 025007 was recorded at this meeting; council members indicated they will sponsor the ordinance for formal reading at the next meeting and staff will prepare any crosswalks between the county plan and city regulations for council review.
