Commission backs rezoning of 1001 N. Kentucky to allow townhomes; forwards recommendation to City Council
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended rezoning 1001 North Kentucky Street from BN to TR 1.8, supporting denser townhome development consistent with the historic town-center vision; the item will go to City Council on June 2, 2026. Commissioners discussed alley access and potential alley rebuilding as part of engineering/site-plan review.
Planning staff presented a request to rezone 1001 North Kentucky Street from BN (neighborhood business) to TR 1.8 (townhome residential), a change staff said aligns with the comprehensive plan for the historic Town Center.
"The proposed TR 1.8 covers 0.3 acres along the West Side of North Kentucky Street within the historically significant area," said the downtown development planner, and staff recommended approval. The applicant, Casey Gregory of Sanchez and Associates, confirmed the property address during the hearing: "It is, 1001 North Kentucky Street." Gregory described the likely product as a townhome-style development with typical ~25-foot-wide lots. Commissioners pressed on access; staff and the applicant said alley access is possible but could require rebuilding the alley and any off-site improvements would be shown during site-plan review and a traffic-impact analysis.
Commissioner Craig moved to close the public hearing and approve the rezoning; the commission voted unanimously, 7–0, and the item will be forwarded to City Council for final action at the June 2, 2026 meeting.
What this means locally: the zoning change would permit attached units (townhomes, duplexes, triplexes) and is intended to support denser residential infill consistent with the city's Town Center vision; specific lot layout, access improvements and traffic mitigation will be addressed at site plan review.
