Planning Commission continues Distillery District plan amid floodplain, truck-storage concerns
Summary
The Lexington City Planning Commission agreed to continue consideration of the Distillery District West Unit 1 development so the applicant can address floodplain, FEMA map amendment and equipment-storage questions raised by staff and residents.
The Lexington City Planning Commission on Feb. 13 continued consideration of an amended development plan for Distillery District West Unit 1, citing unresolved floodplain issues and questions about proposed overnight parking of rental trucks on site.
The commission continued PLN MJDP 24-10 to the March 13 meeting so the applicant can pursue a CLOMR (Conditional Letter of Map Revision) with FEMA, finalize engineering sign-offs and proceed through the Floodplain Appeals Committee review required for storage and work within the floodplain. Chris Cheney, planning services staff, presented the application and noted the plan proposes a 4,500-square-foot building and associated parking on property that is partly in the floodway and partly in the floodplain. Cheney also flagged Article 19 of the zoning ordinance as the regulatory standard for floodplain uses and noted staff had revised recommended conditions for the proposal.
