LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Planning Commission will convene Wednesday for a work session to review updates on three major initiatives shaping the city's growth and development, according to [the official meeting agenda](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&event_id=4754).

The session will focus on [Blue Sky Works](https://www.blueskylexington.com/about), a [Small Area Plan for the Blue Sky Industrial Area](https://www.imaginelexington.com/plans-projects/blue-sky-works) near the intersection of I-75 and Athens-Boonesboro Road. [The industrial area was incorporated into the Urban Service Boundary in 2023](https://civiclex.org/weekly-posts/blue-sky-plan-intro) and now covers an [area home to approximately 150 businesses supporting over 1,000 jobs](https://news.civiclex.org/council-to-hear-presentation-on-blue-sky-industrial-park/). Sam Castro from TSW Design will present a 30-minute update on the plan's progress.

[The comprehensive planning effort aims to assess existing land use and infrastructure, develop a coordinated framework to improve access and mobility, and recommend zoning updates that support industrial needs](https://www.blueskylexington.com/about). The Blue Sky Works team includes multiple consultants evaluating economic potential, transportation infrastructure and community engagement.

The commission will also review updates to [Lexington's Complete Streets Manual](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/complete-streets), a guide for planning and designing streets that serve all transportation users safely. [The city adopted a Complete Streets Policy in 2022 and an Action Plan in 2023](https://civiclex.org/weekly-posts/an-update-on-lexingtons-complete-streets-initiatives), with [starting in 2026, Council will receive detailed implementation updates](https://civiclex.org/weekly-posts/an-update-on-lexingtons-complete-streets-initiatives). Kenzie Gleason, Planning Manager for Outreach and Strategic Planning, will present a 15-minute update on the manual's revision.

The final agenda item involves a Residential Zoning Lab Report from Eve Miller, Senior Planner in Long Range Planning. [Miller previously presented an overview of the Blue Sky Small Area Plan](https://civiclex.org/weekly-posts/blue-sky-plan-intro) and will discuss findings from research into residential zoning practices.

The work session begins at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Phoenix Building's third-floor conference room.
