Fiscal Court approves Cardwell Lane rezoning to allow rural low‑density multifamily
Summary
After debate on comprehensive‑plan alignment, sewer capacity and transportation plans, the court approved a zoning change for a 25.45‑acre parcel at 827 Cardwell Lane from rural residential to rural low‑density multifamily on second reading.
Franklin County Fiscal Court adopted a zoning change on second reading for a 25.45‑acre tract at 827 Cardwell Lane, moving the property from Rural Residential (RR) to Rural Low‑Density Multifamily (RL).
Background and debate: Members proposed and voted on multiple findings of fact required under KRS 100.213, including whether the requested zoning aligns with the county comprehensive plan, whether current Department of Transportation plans call for road improvements on Cardwell Lane, and whether existing sewer infrastructure could support the proposed density. The court recorded separate votes on individual findings; some findings failed, others passed. Several members and staff noted the future land‑use designation as suburban residential in the county plan and staff recommended approval.
Outcome: On second reading the ordinance changing the zoning passed in a roll‑call vote during the voting session. The court then moved to the next items on the agenda.
