Yes. Welcome, everyone. It is certainly 5 o'clock, and I'm going to go ahead and call to order the Lexington Fayette Urban County Council meeting of July 1st, 2025, and the first item is roll call. Councilmember Brown? Here. Thank you. Councilmember Curtis? Yes, ma'am. Thank you. Councilmember Ellinger? Yes, ma'am. Councilmember Elliot Baxter? Yes, ma'am. Councilmember Gray? Here. What?

We have a quorum. I'd like to welcome Pastor Adam Jones from Open Door Church, and he's going to offer our invocation tonight. Thank you, Mayor. I'll offer a prayer from my faith tradition. Merciful God, our creator, we remember tonight that all persons bear your image. All persons are worthy of dignity and respect, and in your grace, you send rain and sunshine on the just and the unjust. Your son Jesus taught us that loving you is inseparable from loving our neighbor. I pray for a city that is known for loving our neighbors, no matter where those neighbors live, what country they're from, what ethnicity they are, or their economic position in life. I pray tonight for a city that reflects your justice, in which all persons have access to a good and flourishing life. I know that you love this world, and you love this city, this Lexington, and you've asked us not to grow weary in doing good to all. I'm grateful to see our government officials with diverse positions and diverse views, working together, respecting one another, even when they disagree. I pray for more and more days of peaceful collaboration in a world that demands we pick a side and destroy the other. I pray that you would strengthen the hands of these public servants for the work entrusted to them by the citizens of Lexington, and I pray that they would make decisions that are fair and good for all. I pray that our city is known one day for love, mercy, and justice, reflecting the priorities of your kingdom and reflecting the greatest call to love our neighbor as ourself. Amen. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next is we have June 10, 2025 Council Meeting Minutes. If I could have a motion to approve. Thank you. Council Member Curtis, seconded by Council Member Savigny. Are there any corrections, additions, anything? All those in favor, say aye. Aye. Is anyone opposed? All right. That motion passes. And now we have a special presentation. All right. At this time I'd like to ask Tom Harris to join me at the podium. Welcome. Thank you. Yes. I want to thank you for being here and also thank your wife, Kay, for being here. As many of you know, Tom Harris has served as the Vice President for University Relations at the University of Kentucky for many years. After many years of service, Tom is retiring from UK. During his tenure, Tom has been an invaluable leader at UK and throughout our community and I would say a good partner to LFUCG. I have known Tom and his family for several decades. They are wonderful, community-minded people. So Tom, I thank you for your service and congratulate you on your retirement from UK and we offer you our best wishes as you begin your next chapter. And now I would like to read and present you a proclamation. Here's how it goes. Whereas since 2002, Tom Harris has served as Vice President for University Relations at the University of Kentucky and whereas Tom is a 1985 graduate of Kentucky and prior to his role with the university worked in public relations and communications for Honda of America, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky, Guthrie Mays Public Relations and more. And whereas in his role at the University of Kentucky, Tom has overseen various areas of administration including government relations, alumni, marketing and public relations, the Art Museum and WUKY as well as stepping into other leadership roles when needed. And whereas Tom is known for his steadfast leadership style, his knowledge of a broad range of issues and his passion for UK sports. And whereas Tom has served on numerous community and non-profit boards, been recognized with numerous leadership and service awards and participated in both Leadership Lexington and Leadership Kentucky. And whereas we congratulate Tom on a very successful, meaningful career at the University of Kentucky. Now therefore I, Linda Gorton, Mayor of Lexington, do hereby declare July 1st, 2025 Tom Harris Day in Lexington. Congratulations. Thank you very much. Yes, thank you. Do you want to say a few words? Yeah. Alright. Here's Tom. It's such a relief to be here and where UK hasn't done something stupid or our students haven't acted inappropriately because that's usually when I get to come to council when something you all are mad at us about, about something. You know, as UK has grown and Lexington grows beside it, it is so critical for this partnership to be intertwined with each other. Obviously 800 acres in the middle of the city is a challenge for all of us. Hannah, I'm sorry, I won't be there to turn the volume down on the soccer field anymore. But it's so critically important that the university and this council and the city as a whole work together. I appreciate the partnership with all of you. It's been a pleasure to work with you. Thank you very much for this, Mayor. Thank you. Thank you. We'll get a photo with Tom and Kay and the council. All right. Thank you. Now we are ready for public comment for issues on the agenda and we have two people signed up and the way this works is I'll call your name and you'll come to this podium over here and you'll need to repeat your name for the record and state your council district and you'll have three minutes. So although I do see, let's see, is Austin Wilkerson here? Are you yielding time to Amy Clark? Yes, ma'am, I am. It says you are, but you can decide. I yield my time. Okay. All right. Very good. So, Amy Clark, you'll have six minutes and six minutes flat. Welcome. Thank you. Good evening, council members. And I have copies of what I'm about to say. Please state your name. If you want to suspend the rules. I will. Please state your name and your council district. My name is Amy Clark. I'm in the third, as I was Tuesday. I have copies. If you wish to suspend the rules and see them now rather than later. Give them to the clerk if you would, please. Building Lexington business. Grow up or take out. Lately we see more and more quick serve and drive through businesses on our major roads. More and more curb cuts for their entrances and exits. Lots of uncontrolled traffic in and out, not necessarily at intersections. More pavement than ever in drive aisles for service at the vehicle as well as in parking. And less actual building floor space for good jobs and homes. Landscape and trees at the minimum. Flood plains and streams contained and channeled. Even sent into culverts underground at times. It's a national trend that's a bad fit for Lexington. It hurts our bluegrass way of life, not just our bluegrass landscape alone. I urge the council to deny this ZOTA and adopt instead a corridor business AB3 zoning regulation to support safe and equitable corridor design through balanced and efficient land use with complete streets that can support commuter cycling, sidewalks, and real bus routes, frequent ones. Vote no on B3 ZOTA 25-2, an ordinance that will strike the 30% minimum building area requirement set just last June in the growth management ZOTA for land in the B3 corridor business zone. And I would note that a developer may meet the building requirement either on a single lot or distributed over several lots through building areas shared over a planned development with varied uses. The B3 zone can be allowed on all but local street frontage, urban collectors, arterials, and so on. But this B3 requirement regulates businesses in the B1 neighborhood business zone too, when they want a new drive-through permit from the BOA as a conditional use. Thus, B3 and B1 business development under this ZOTA affects us all. Please keep the current regulation in place by disapproving today's ZOTA, which comes to you with a highly divided recommendation from the planning commission and was not recommended by the planning staff, requiring a minimum 30% building area, 30% of the lot as a whole, or the planned development. A threshold set not really high, but actually just slightly over the 27% average of building area for our corridors as a whole in 2019, the average was 2019, levels the playing field. It balances the availability of corridor land for different purposes, summer business, summer housing, professional, all kinds of things. Homes and good full-time jobs need building area on our corridors. This is a cornerstone of the 2018 and 2023 comprehensive plans. If investors developing a national quick serve franchise on corridor land can get high lease rates and a rapid return with minimal construction expense, building construction, sometimes a mere kiosk and vast drive-through lanes, then what land will be left for diverse local businesses and housing that must invest, must invest in major construction? We need both on our corridors to make better bus, cycling, and pedestrian routes viable and safe. This is another cornerstone of our last two comprehensive plans. These routes in turn make housing and commuting hugely more affordable. And I know affordable is important to all of you. For people starting out, families supporting children, seniors on a fixed income, indeed all those who cannot keep one and two cars. Is the ordinance today more complicated than that, up or down, good or bad? Yes, the devil is in the details. I won't have time for many. That's why the best course is to vote down the soda now and start fresh. It gets too complicated. The current 30% lot coverage or building footprint requirement should really be made a 30% or 0.3 building floor space requirement relative to the land. That way you can stack the building in stories and really conserve the land, get more on the land. That would be, I'm sorry, amending the current lot coverage standard to adopt the corresponding FAR standard is more flexible, allowing investors to stack building area in multiple stories. Two story business, think of our main streets, very welcome and familiar pattern. Offices above, thank you. Thank you. All right, that completes our current public comment. And so it's time for second reading of ordinances. Item one, an ordinance changing the zone from a single family residential R1A zone to a planned neighborhood residential R3 zone for 11.587 net. 11.924 gross acres for property located at 1899 Parkers Mill Road, Rose Holdings Lexington LLC, Council District 10 in item two. An ordinance amending Article 820 of the Lexington Fair Urban County Zoning Ordinance relating to the corridor business B3 zone to remove the minimum building lot coverage requirement. Approval 6-5, thank you. Thank you, is there a motion to approve? Motion approved. Thank you, Council Member Ellinger, second by Council Member Baxter. And when you're ready, do a roll call vote, please. Council Member Brown? Yes. Yes. Thank you. Council Member Curtis? Yes on one, no on two. Okay, thank you. Council Member Ellinger? Recuse on one, yes on two. Thank you. Council Member Elliot Baxter? Council Member Hale? Thank you. Council Member Legree? Yes. Council Member Lynch? Yes. Council Member Morton? Yes. Thank you. Council Member Reynolds? Yes on one, abstain on two. Thank you. Council Member Savigny? Recuse on one, no on two. Thank you. Council Member Sheehan? Yes. Vice Mayor Wu? Yes. Council Member Beasley? Yes on one, no on two. And Council Member Boone? Yes, ma'am. Thank you. All right, thank you. It looks like those both passed. Now we're ready for first reading of ordinances.

Thank you. Thank you. Are there any walk-ons, council members? All right, are there any motions to suspend the rules? Vice Mayor Wu? Thank you, Mayor. On behalf of the administration and in consideration of our impending recess, I move to suspend the rules and give second reading to ordinances three through five. So moved. We can't do three and four, we can only do five, because it's got schedules. The three and four have budget amendments with them, so. So just item five. I think only item five. All right, well that's it. There aren't any more motions to suspend. Thank you. All right, is there a second to Vice Mayor? All right, Council Member Ellinger seconds. Any questions? All those in favor of the suspension of the rules, please say aye. Aye. Anyone opposed? All right, so we have number five, if you'll give it second reading, please. Item five.

And I just, since being out in the announcement work session, I saved it for here. So, I might have a couple pictures, possibly. So this weekend, I had the privilege of attending two powerful events that put equity front and center. The Lexington Pride Festival can also get connected Lex Digital Accessibility Expo. So this weekend, the Pride Festival was more than a celebration, it was a declaration. A declaration that in Lexington, we choose equity, visibility, and belonging. And it reminds us that inclusion doesn't happen by accident. It takes intention, action, and the courage to stand with our LGBTQIA community every day. I'm proud to represent a district that shows up with love, with purpose, and with power. And it was a great time. So, a lot of different council members out there, a great time. In the 11th district, and then moving on to the digital accessibility. I also attended the Let's Get Connect, well, Get Connected Lex Expo, hosted by the Digital Accessibility Work Group. This event brought together community members, tech partners, and service providers to discuss how we can close Lexington's digital divide. I want to send a sincere thank you to Council Member James Brown, Council Member Hale for his work on that. Troy Black out of the Mayor's Office, Commissioner Rogers and all that attended, and the entire team for their leadership on this initiative. Their commitment to digital equity is helping shape a more connected and inclusive Lexington. So, equity shows up in how we plan, who we include, and the barriers we work to break down. These events reflect the work we still have ahead, and the power of a community we have led, that we lead with intention. So, thank you. Thank you very much. Council Member Beasley. Thank you, Mayor. I just want to wish Council Member Legria a happy birthday. That's all. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone else have announcements? Did you have something? Okay. All right. That brings us to our public comment, and we do not have anyone signed up. So, that brings us to a motion to adjourn. All right. All those in favor, say aye. We are adjourned. Thank you all for coming.
