Zoning board approves multiple short‑term rental permits, postpones Duke Road application
Summary
The board approved several conditional‑use permits (Burnworth Properties, Stephen Dennis, Lucy Jones) and postponed the Behavioral Health Real Estate (Duke Road) application to April 13, 2026; vote tallies were not read aloud in the transcript.
At its March 2026 meeting the Lexington‑Fayette County Zoning Board of Adjustment approved multiple conditional‑use permits and postponed one application to the April meeting.
Burnworth Properties LLC (PLNBOA26-5) was presented by Tony Barrett and approved on the expedited docket following staff recommendation. The Behavioral Health Real Estate Associates request for a Duke Road application (PLNBOA26-6) was asked to be postponed by Matthew Douglas; the board agreed and set the item for the next monthly meeting on April 13 at 1:30 p.m., noting no additional mailed notice would be sent.
Stephen Dennis’ application for 817 Hidden Stream Drive (PLNBOA26-2) and Lucy Jones’ request (PLNBOA26-7) were both approved on motions citing staff recommendations and standard permit conditions. In the Dennis case, the applicant described prior short‑term rental experience and the board approved with conditions recommended by staff. In the Lucy Jones case, the applicant said she would personally manage the property and limit street parking; one neighbor opposed but the board approved the permit.
In several cases where extensive public comment occurred the board recorded motions and outcomes on the record; the transcript does not include explicit roll‑call vote counts for these approvals.
