The Louisville Metro Planning Commission recommended approval of a text amendment to Chapter 1, Section 1.1.9 of the Land Development Code (LDC), extending the expiration date of approved development plans for affordable housing projects from two or three years to five years. This amendment was requested by the Louisville Metro Council Resolution No. 52, Series 2025. The change aims to provide more flexibility for affordable housing developers, acknowledging the complexities and timelines involved in such projects. The Planning Commission deliberated on the proposal, with supporters highlighting its potential to encourage additional affordable housing. Opponents raised concerns about staff-level extensions and the enforceability of affordable unit provisions. Following a public hearing, the Commission voted 6-1 to recommend approval of the amendment to the Louisville Metro Council and other legislative bodies with zoning authority.
