Lexington’s Preservation & Growth Management Program
Lexington’s Urban County Council adopted the Goals and Objectives of Imagine Lexington 2045, the city’s Comprehensive Plan on June 15, 2023. Theme E Goal 4 calls for the Community to build upon the work the government has already conducted to create a new process to determine long-term land use decisions involving the Urban Service Area. This process is meant to ensure sustainable use of the Urban Service Area, preservation of significant agricultural areas, and a research based approach for future expansion.
Included in Theme E, Goal 4 is a specific reference to the start of the review of the process to incorporate input from the Urban County Council in collaboration with the Planning Commission and a deadline for the adoption of the process into the Comprehensive Plan of August 1, 2026.
