The Louisville Metro Council rejected an ordinance (Case No. 24ZONE0112) that sought to rezone approximately 107 acres at 8000 Broad Run Road from R-R Rural Residential and R-4 Single-Family Residential to PRD Planned Residential Development. The proposal, known as "The Reserves at Parklands, Phase II," intended to create 350 buildable single-family lots. The Council's decision to reject the rezoning followed a split recommendation from the Planning Commission and was based on findings that the proposal did not conform to several land use and development policies of Plan 2040. Concerns included the scale of the development's potential negative impacts on adjacent residential uses and the transportation network, its disconnection from employment centers, and the need for a Floyds Fork Waiver due to steep slopes. The Staff Report had initially recommended denial of the zoning change due to non-conformity with Plan 2040 and concerns about environmental and transportation impacts.
