Planning Commission/ URCDA workshop
Chairwoman Crecelius called the Planning Commission/ URCDA workshop to order at 5:15 PM. She
turned the workshop over to Planning Director, Nic Hutchison. Mr. Hutchison stated legal counsel was
consulted after the last meeting, wherein 1630 North Friendship Road was tabled. Legal counsel advised
that because the way the hearing was noticed and the motion was worded, a development plan would be
needed in this specific instance. However, moving forward, property annexed would be initially zoned
by the Board of Commissioners at the annexation ordinance reading pursuant to KRS 100.209.
Commissioner Wade asked if any Board of Commissioners action would be retroactive to this case and if
the 60 days would be exceeded. Mr. Hutchison stated there would be no retroactive activity and if the 60
days were exceeded, a petition for rezoning could still come before the Planning Commission.
Senior Planner, Josh Sommer stated an initial zoning petition would come before the Planning
Commission in September and that the property had been annexed.
Workshop ended at 5:25 PM.
