The Louisville Metro Council adopted Ordinance O-023-25, amending Section 11.4.7 of the Land Development Code (LDC) to revise neighborhood meeting requirements for certain development plans. This amendment mandates neighborhood meetings for revised development plans submitted within three years of a rezoning approval, particularly if they involve significant changes such as a 25% or more increase in density or building footprint (or 500 SF), exceeding maximum height, changing property use (e.g., professional office to assisted living residence or restaurant to carwash), or significant deviations in design. The amendment aims to enhance community engagement and provide adequate notice to property owners about proposed changes. The Planning Commission recommended approval after public hearings on August 21, October 28, and December 5, 2024, with the final recommendation to approve passing by a vote of 6-4.
