LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Urban County Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Thursday, May 28, 2026 at 1:30 p.m. EST (12:30 p.m. CST), in the Council Chambers, Government Center, 200 E. Main St., according to [the meeting agenda](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&event_id=4887).

Among the items scheduled for consideration is Mount Laurel Lands Company's request to rezone property on Old Paris Road from single-family residential to wholesale and warehouse business. The petition seeks a zone map amendment to Wholesale and Warehouse Business (B-4) zone for 1.12 net (2.62 gross) acres for property located at 2137 Old Paris Road. The proposal would establish specialty trade shops with 21 individual units and 36 proposed parking spaces, according to the agenda.

The Mt. Laurel project has previously been postponed. The company's request awaits additional public notice and staff analysis, which constitutes a technical issue with the application that must be resolved before the Planning Commission can proceed with evaluating the requested zone change.

The Planning Commission reviews and adopts the community's comprehensive plan, approves subdivision plats and development plans, and makes recommendations to the council for zone change requests. The commission will consider multiple zoning amendment petitions and ordinance text amendments during the public hearing.

Comments on these items may be submitted to the Division of Planning or planningmailbox@lexingtonky.gov by Thursday, May 28, at 10 a.m. EST (9 a.m. CST). For further information on these matters, or for persons with a disability who may need assistance in order to participate in the above meeting, the Division of Planning can be reached at 101 E Vine St., Lexington, KY.
