LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Urban County Planning Commission is scheduled to consider two significant development proposals on August 13, including a major 594-unit residential project at White Farm on Richmond Road that has been the subject of repeated postponements.

According to [the commission's agenda](https://lfucg.granicus.com/AgendaViewer.php?view_id=4&event_id=4932), the meeting will begin at 1:30 p.m. ET in the Council Chambers at 200 East Main Street. 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](https://www.aol.com/news/housing-development-600-units-lexington-090000938.html), 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. Staff have identified 15 requirements not yet met, including proper lighting plans, depiction of public versus private rights-of-way, dumpster specifications, and adequate bicycle parking dispersed among buildings. The commission must approve or disapprove the request by October 4, unless the applicant agrees to an extension.

A second agenda item involves an amended development plan for Two Keys, the college sports bar at 503 S. Upper Street in Council District 3. [The proposal would add a patio and change parking lot circulation](https://kykernel.com/126230/news/two-keys-permit-issue-regarding-green-space-postponed-amid-neighborhood-concerns/). The Subdivision Committee has recommended postponing this request due to concerns about dumpster access and compliance with conditions from a previous Board of Adjustment case. The commission has postponed this item three times previously—on May 14, June 11, and July 9.

Two Keys requires a waiver for vegetated open space standards. Planning staff have raised questions about dumpster location, landscape buffers, and whether the raised patio would disrupt existing drainage patterns.

The commission also will consider waiver requests for Griffin Gate Center and South Farm Marketplace for open space standards, though staff noted they will report further at the meeting.
