LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Urban County Planning Commission will hold a meeting on subdivision and development items on August 13 at 1:30 p.m. ET in Lexington, according to the commission's agenda.

The White Farm proposal would bring 480 multifamily units and 114 townhomes to the 30-acre property at 3515 Richmond Road in Council District 7. The project is being developed by Hillpointe, a Florida-based real estate firm, and would represent the company's first Kentucky development. The Subdivision Committee has recommended approval of the White Farm plan, though it requires a waiver to utilize a private pump station.

The staff identified 15 requirements not yet met for the White Farm development, including proper lighting plans, depiction of public versus private rights-of-way, bicycle parking distribution, and clarification of easements. The Subdivision Committee recommended approval subject to multiple conditions and correction of requirements not met.

Also on the agenda is a development plan amendment for WML Properties, LLC (Two Keys) at 503 S. Upper Street to add a patio and change parking lot circulation, with a requested waiver for vegetated open space standards. The Subdivision Committee recommended postponement due to concerns about dumpster access and Board of Adjustment compliance.

The owners of the new Two Keys location on South Upper Street have filed plans with the city to put in a patio for dining on the side of the building, eliminating at least seven parking spots. Neighbors who live in the homes behind the restaurant have expressed concern about the proposed patio, which will replace part of an existing parking lot.

The White Farm development plan and two waiver requests for Griffin Gate Center and South Farm Marketplace will accept public comment during the hearing procedure outlined in the agenda.
