The Louisville Metro Planning Commission recommended approval of a zoning change from R-4 Single Family Residential to R-5 Single Family Residential and Planned Residential Development (PRD) for properties located at 9300 and 9308 Old Bardstown Road, and 10313 and 10311 R Thixton Lane, Louisville, KY. The proposed development, known as Windcrest Farms Section 3, is a 288-lot subdivision on approximately 62.24 acres. It includes 248 detached units, 38 semi-detached, and 2 lots that can be either detached or semi-detached. The plan incorporates required open space. A traffic analysis for the Crosby Farms Subdivision, which is part of this development, determined that a left-turn lane is not warranted on Old Bardstown Road for the proposed entrance, based on Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Highway Design Manual criteria. Despite some resident opposition regarding increased traffic and congestion, the Planning Commission's motion to recommend approval passed by a vote of 8-0.
