Louisville

Description

A citywide Land Development Code amendment to allow duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, and similar housing types along corridors and in qualifying new subdivisions, with administrative approval when all special standards are met.

Impact summary

Would open more of the city to small multifamily buildings; members want more time on suburban density, teardown limits, and appeal rights before voting.

Neighborhood housing text amendment

A five-years-in-the-making amendment would allow duplexes through fourplexes and similar housing types along corridors and in new subdivisions, with administrative approval if every rule is met. Members tabled it again to sort out concerns about suburban density, teardown restrictions, and residents' ability to appeal administrative decisions without suing in circuit court.
