The committee will hear an update on [short-term rental regulation enforcement](https://engage.lexingtonky.gov/short-term-rentals), which could include discussion of potential changes to the rules governing the estimated 979 licensed rentals currently operating in Lexington. [Regulations initially adopted in July 2023](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/short-term-rentals) set occupancy limits and density rules to prevent clustering of short-term rentals in residential neighborhoods, and the city approved amendments in December 2024. The committee will also receive a presentation on the [Blue Sky Small Area Plan](https://www.blueskylexington.com/about), a comprehensive planning effort for [the industrial area near Interstate 75 and Athens-Boonesboro Road](https://civiclex.org/weekly-posts/blue-sky-plan-intro). [The Blue Sky Activity Center is home to approximately 150 businesses supporting over 1,000 jobs](https://civiclex.org/weekly-posts/blue-sky-plan-intro), with more than 60% in industries paying at least $20 per hour such as manufacturing, construction, and warehousing. [The plan will assess existing land use and infrastructure, develop a coordinated land use and transportation framework to improve access and connectivity, recommend zoning and policy updates supporting industrial needs, and promote sustainable development](https://www.blueskylexington.com/about). [The area was incorporated into the Urban Service Boundary in 2023](https://civiclex.org/weekly-posts/blue-sky-plan-intro) and is being planned for future redevelopment. The committee agenda also includes an update on the "A Sense of Place" initiative and approval of the June 2 committee summary. Items referred to committee will be considered as well. The meeting will be held in the Council Chamber at the Urban County Government Building, 200 E.
