Richmond annexes Ramsey Farms parcels, keeps agricultural zoning
Summary
The Board of Commissioners adopted Ordinance 26-10 to annex multiple Ramsey Farms Kentucky LLC properties into Richmond while maintaining agricultural (AG) zoning; city staff said annexation will enable future road connectivity with nearby industrial acreage. The vote was unanimous.
The Richmond City Board of Commissioners adopted Ordinance 26-10 on second reading to annex several parcels owned by Ramsey Farms Kentucky LLC into the city limits while keeping the properties zoned AG (agricultural).
City Manager summarized the ordinance, citing KRS 81A-412 and KRS 81A-410 and confirming the parcels are contiguous to city boundaries, served by municipal utilities and suitable for urban purposes. He told commissioners that annexing the land will give the city the opportunity in the future to connect Duncan Lane with Lancaster Road, noting the parcels lie near the city's new industrial park acreage.
The ordinance text lists the affected properties and sizes as read into the record: 1837 Lancaster Road (part of tract 1, 343.53 acres), 172 Elliot Ford Road (part of tract 1, 343.53 acres), and a segment described as Duncan and Lane (part of tract 2, 18.02 acres). The ordinance directs the planning and zoning and GIS departments to update the city's official map and requires the city clerk to forward the ordinance and related documentation to appropriate local and state authorities. The measure takes effect upon adoption and required publication under Kentucky law.
The board moved the ordinance and held the required vote on second reading. The clerk recorded affirmative votes and the ordinance was adopted.
Next steps: planning and zoning and the GIS department will implement map changes and the city clerk will file the ordinance and documentation with the appropriate authorities as required by statute.
