The Louisville Metro Council approved a zoning change from R-4 Single Family Residential to R-5 Single Family Residential and PRD Planned Residential District for Windcrest Farms Section 3, allowing for the development of a 288-lot single-family subdivision. The development includes 248 detached homes and 38 semi-detached homes, with two lots reserved for flexible use. The project is part of an expansion of the existing Windcrest Farms neighborhood and will incorporate pedestrian-friendly streets, open spaces, and a tree preservation plan. Infrastructure improvements include road enhancements at the Thixton Lane intersections to mitigate traffic impacts. The plan aligns with Louisville’s Plan 2040, promoting mixed-density residential development and supporting aging in place by offering varied lot sizes.
This decision expands Louisville’s housing stock by introducing a mix of detached and semi-detached homes in a growing suburban area. The project aligns with the city’s long-term development plan, enhances infrastructure, and provides homeownership opportunities in a well-connected neighborhood.
