State-Mandated Changes to Planning/Zoning

Boone County & Union – 2063 Hathaway Rd. Zone change returns for 39.5 acres from single family to 382 housing units: 88 paired patio homes and 294 townhouses in 22 buildings, all to be sold, no rental. This density is larger than approved in the 2040 Master plan. These homes are to be manufactured as newly allowed by state law. Other issues include: 1. moving entrance and KYTC traffic study; 2. reducing setback from Hathaway; 3. insufficient parking; 4. rear of buildings face Hathaway, so need for screening fences; 5. preservation of creek and ponds, tree cover and open space; 6. entrance needs to be public with sidewalks; 7. state widening Hathaway later. Part of the plot is in Union and Union would annex remainder into the city, but opposes manufactured housing and density. Tech Committee Sept 17, 5 p.m. Final Action Oct 1, 7 p.m.
