ORDINANCE NO. 85-9-2728
AN ORDINANCE REVERSING THE FINAL REPORT OF THE PADUCAH PLANNING COMMISSION ON THE
PROPOSED REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF HALEHAVEN DRIVE NEAR CONRAD HEIGHTS
SUBDIVISION, AND DIRECTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE PADUCAH ZONING ORDINANCE - 1976, SO AS TO
CHANGE THE ZONE CLASSIFICATION FROM R-2, LOW/MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONE, TO R-4, HIGH
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ZONE
WHEREAS, the Paducah Planning Commission at a Public Hearing held on August 8, 1985"
considered a proposal to amend the Paducah Zoning Ordinance - 1976, so as to change the zone
classification of certain property located along the north side of Halehaven Drive near Conrad
Heights Subdivision from R-2, Low/Medium Density Residential Zone, to R-4, High Density
Residential Zone; and
WHEREAS, the aforesaid proposal failed by reason of a negative vote, and at a Public
Hearing held on August 27, 1985, after publication of Notice pursuant to law, duly
reconsidered the said proposal and heard and considered testimony, objections and suggestions
of all interested parties who appeared at said meeting; and
WHEREAS, after considering the evidence submitted and being thoroughly advised in
the premises the Board of Commissioners does by this ordinance overrule and reverse the action
of the Paducah Planning Commission.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE CITY OF PADUCAH, KENTUCKY:
SECTION 1. The Board of Commissioners finds, relative to the proposed amendment as
follows:
1. The subject property is located in an area which is in the proximity of
Interstate Highway I-24 and near U.S. Highway 60. Business along Highway 60 has developed
extensively over the past five years.
2. The subject property adjoins property zoned and used for R-4 purposes and
property zoned H.B.D. (Highway Business District), and it was, and is, difficult to establish
a differing zone classification between them considering all factors, including uses and
nature of the property.
3. There have been no substantial residential developments on subject property, and
because of the proximity of I-24 it appears unlikely that the subject property was, or is,
suitable for low or medium density residential development.
4. Upon the territory being annexed for the City of Paducah it was classified as
R-2, Low/Medium Density Residential Zone.
5. In view of the foregoing, the original zoning classification given to the
property was inappropriate and is inconsistent with the natural development and use of
properties so close in proximity to the Interchange of I-24 and U.S. 60 West.
6. The proposed rezoning is not in agreement with the comprehensive plan of the
community; however, the business development along U.S. 60 in the area since 1980 makes the
original zoning inappropriate.
7. The property should be restricted to office buildings and development within two
(2) years, or the zoning should revert to R-2, Low/Medium Density Residential.
