Imagine Lexington is the outcome of over two years of study, deliberation, and public input. Though it is very much its own unique product, it was built with significant support from existing plans and studies that serve to further Lexington’s community vision.
This plan is also the result of a tremendous amount of groundwork by way of outside research, presentations, work sessions, and committee meetings led by Planning staff, the Planning Commission, and the Urban County Council.
This page provides links to all supporting plans and archived materials relating to the 2018 Comprehensive Plan’s development process.
2013 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Adopted in 2013, Lexington's first policy-based plan was the first to eliminate the future land use map. The plan set the foundation from which many of the goals of Imagine Lexington developed.
2017 RURAL LAND MANAGEMENT PLAN
This plan, which originated in 1999, is dedicated to the planning and management of land uses in the Rural Service Area.
EXPANSION AREA MASTER PLAN
Adopted by the Planning Commission in 1996 as an element of the Comprehensive Plan, the Expansion Area Master Plan (EAMP) is a regulatory document that is intended to guide growth within the identified Expansion Areas along the periphery of the Urban Service Boundary.
MULTI-FAMILY DESIGN STANDARDS
These standards for multi-family developments, in conjunction with the zoning standards provided by the City of Lexington, are intended to provide a shared starting point and a common language for both developers and Planning staff that serves to facilitate the progress of multi-family projects in Lexington.
IMAGINE NICHOLASVILLE ROAD
Imagine Nicholasville Road is a 20 year plan for the Nicholasville Road corridor. The plan focuses on safety and efficiency for people traveling by car, bus, bike, or on foot and will influence incremental land use and transportation decisions along the corridor.
