The Louisville Metro Council approved a zoning change for 11100 Garden Trace Drive from R-4 Single Family Residential to R-7 Multi-Family Residential to allow the expansion of the Mt. Washington Road Apartments. The plan includes the development of 82 additional units as an extension of a previously approved 666-unit project. The proposed site spans 36.68 acres and is located south of Mt. Washington Road, connecting with the existing multi-family development to the north. The new phase will maintain design continuity and share infrastructure access with the original site. It supports diverse housing options and intergenerational living, aligned with Plan 2040 goals. The project received preliminary subdivision and Detailed District Development Plan (DDDP) approval, along with newly added binding elements to guide construction and preservation efforts.
This rezoning supports increased housing diversity and density in a growing residential area near major commercial and employment corridors. It promotes affordable housing opportunities and aging in place while utilizing previously approved development patterns and infrastructure.
