LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Planning Commission's Zoning Committee will consider five proposals to rezone properties across Lexington-Fayette County during its regular meeting on May 7, according to [the official agenda](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&event_id=4869) posted by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government.

The committee, meeting at 1:30 p.m. at the Phoenix Building's third-floor conference room, will hear applications ranging from conversions of residential areas to commercial uses to residential redevelopment proposals.

Among the petitions is a request from Mt. Laurel Lands Company to rezone 2.62 acres at 2137 Old Paris Road from single-family residential to wholesale and warehouse business, which would be accompanied by a major development plan amendment.

Edward McGhee is seeking to rezone approximately 11.12 acres across two properties on Tates Creek Road and Saron Drive from single-family residential to medium-density residential, as well as approval of a subdivision plan known as Tom Collins Farm.

Another agenda item involves LCD Acquisitions, LLC requesting a zoning change for roughly 7.4 acres along Chair Avenue, Hayman Avenue and South Broadway from light industrial and wholesale business zones to a Corridor Node zone, linked to a project called the Standard at Lexington.

The committee will also consider Fox South, LLC's petition to rezone 1.09 acres at 500 Southland Drive from professional office to neighborhood business, along with requests for multiple variances and a waiver related to parking areas and landscaping requirements on the property.

RAK Properties Lexington, LLC is requesting a zone change for 4.72 acres at 2501 Sir Barton Way from professional office to medium-density residential, tied to a proposed apartment development.

In addition to the zone map amendments, the committee will review a text amendment to the city's zoning ordinance regarding accessory uses at horse race tracks, specifically to allow retail sales of alcoholic beverages as an ancillary use.
