An ordinance was proposed to close approximately 29,912 square feet (0.69 acres) of unimproved public right-of-way, specifically North Twelfth Street and a portion of unimproved High Street, both located north of Rowan Street in Louisville, KY. This closure is requested by the Waterfront Development Corporation to facilitate the development of Waterfront Park Phase IV. The Planning and Zoning Committee recommended approval of the closure on June 3, 2025. Staff reports indicate that the closure will maintain public facilities and aligns with the city's Comprehensive Plan. Utility agencies have coordinated with the applicant to ensure that existing utilities within the right-of-way will be maintained or relocated. All associated costs for the closure and any necessary utility work will be borne by the applicant/developer. The Planning Commission's Consent Agenda, on April 24, 2025, previously passed a motion to recommend approval of the closure by a unanimous vote of 6-0.
