Oldham County Planning Commission July 28th 2026

The Oldham County Planning Commission held a meeting on July 28, 2026, to consider several zoning map amendments, development plans, and waiver requests. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a zoning map amendment and development plan for the Radcliffe Inn project, which involves rezoning properties for a boutique hotel and event space with associated parking waivers. The commission approved the zoning changes and development plan with binding elements requiring compliance with ordinances and review of any plan changes. Another significant agenda item was the development plan and waiver requests by Nukem Oil Company for a convenience store and gas station, including waivers for impervious surface area and lighting levels; these waivers were approved unanimously. The commission also reviewed a zoning map amendment and development plan for an 84-unit apartment complex on West Highway 22, which faced substantial public opposition due to traffic safety and infrastructure concerns. The commission voted 10-2 to deny the zoning map amendment and deferred the development plan decision pending further information. Throughout the meeting, commissioners discussed traffic impact studies, infrastructure adequacy, historic preservation, and community concerns, with motions passed on zoning and development approvals and waivers, as well as a denial and deferral related to the apartment project. The meeting also included procedural votes and a lunch recess.
