The agenda's centerpiece is a [development plan for White Farm](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&event_id=4946), a 594-unit residential project at 3515 Richmond Road that would bring 480 multifamily units and 114 townhomes to a 30-acre property in Council District 7. The project is being developed by Hillpointe, a Florida-based real estate firm making its first Kentucky venture. The Subdivision Committee has recommended approval of the White Farm plan subject to multiple conditions, though the project requires a waiver to utilize a private pump station. Staff have identified 15 requirements that must be addressed before final approval, including proper lighting plans, bicycle parking distribution, clarifications on existing and proposed easements, and dumpster enclosure specifications. The commission is also scheduled to vote on whether to grant the requested waiver for the private pump station. The Planning Commission also is set to consider three waiver requests unrelated to White Farm. [Griffin Gate Center requests a waiver for open space standards](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&event_id=4946) for a Clarion Hotel project at multiple properties near Newtown Pike and Coleman Court. [South Farm Marketplace, Lot 1 also requests an open space waiver](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&event_id=4946) for property at 4051 Nicholasville Road. A third waiver request involves the Bryant Property at 1800 Bryant Road, which seeks relief from substantial completion standards. Additional commission items on the agenda include [a request from Cellco Partnership, operating as Verizon Wireless, for a temporary wireless telecommunications facility at Keeneland Race Course](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&event_id=4946), and a public facilities review for a food pantry at Whitney Young Park. The meeting is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. at the Urban County Government Building, 200 East Main Street. ## Sources - [LFUCG Meeting Agendas](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&event_id=4946) - [The Lexington Times article on White Farm development consideration](https://lexingtonky.news/2026/08/13/planning-commission-set-to-consider-594-unit-white-farm-development-two-keys/) --- This article was generated by AI (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) based on source material from LFUCG Meeting Agendas, enriched with 2 web searches.
