Council asks staff to confirm whether city adopted a PUD text amendment; no formal action taken
Summary
Council members reviewed a previously proposed text amendment concerning planned unit development (PUD) language and asked staff to verify whether Shepherdsville formally adopted the change; no vote or ordinance change occurred at the meeting.
Council members discussed a previously circulated PUD (planned unit development) text amendment that had been proposed by Mount Washington and noted concerns that older PUD language could have been used to circumvent zoning intent.
Council member Mike and staff recounted that the city had not signed on to Mount Washington's text amendment and said they believed Shepherdsville did not adopt the same language. Staff asked for time to review city ordinances and meeting minutes to confirm whether Shepherdsville formally adopted the amendment.
Council members agreed there is no immediate action required unless staff find an adopted ordinance; if an ordinance is found, staff said they would prepare language to remove or revise the PUD provisions in coordination with the planning commission.
The discussion included background that PUD language in the past had allowed some developers to pursue zoning outcomes beyond the text's intended mixed-use allowances. Staff noted one earlier PUD had resulted in litigation before some current council members served, and the request is intended to "close the loop" if the city had previously taken an action that is not reflected in current records.
Staff committed to researching the city's ordinance history, identifying any adopted PUD language, and returning with a recommendation; council members did not direct an immediate ordinance change at the meeting.
