Lexington, Kentucky Planning Commission October 22, 2026

The Lexington Planning Commission meeting, broadcast by LEX TV on October 22, 2026, considered two major development applications. For the proposed Andover Commons project at 4200 Todd’s Road—1,427 homes on 136 acres, with commercial uses and requested subdivision waivers—the commission approved the zoning and development plan with conditions and granted four waivers; the waiver vote was corrected to record one opposing vote. Neighbors raised concerns about traffic, rural-edge buffering, school and utility capacity, and unfunded infrastructure, including a cited $7.4 million estimate for improvements at the Man o’ War/I-75 intersection. The applicant and staff said transportation, sewer capacity, and other engineering details would be addressed before construction and as the project is phased. No contract award or procurement was identified.

The commission also considered UpCampus Student Living LLC’s request to rezone properties near East High Street, Stone Avenue, and Hagerman Court for a proposed 233-unit building. After debate over building scale, historic properties, tree canopy, affordability, student housing, and parking, the commission voted to disapprove the zone change and indefinitely postpone the associated development plan; each action included one abstention. No purchasing decision, solicitation, or contract award was identified.
