What this shows

Development plans from plan years 2024 to 2026, within half a mile of the address, measured to the edge of each plan's area. A development plan lays out what is going on a piece of land. The city's map draws each plan over the parcels it covers.

When a plan has been amended, the city's map keeps each version on the same area. This page shows the newest one and says how many times it was amended.

City projects are the stormwater, sewer and engineering projects on the city's project map that are planned, under design or under construction.

This shows development plans in the city's map and city projects. It doesn't show zone changes or plans still being decided by the Planning Commission. For those, see the city's planning page.

How plans are named

Plans are listed by the project or subdivision name in the city's title. Many plans are titled after the owner of the land, so when a title has no other name in it, the plan is listed as Development plan with its case number.

The plan year is the year the city's map gives for each plan. Acreage shows when the city lists it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find out what's being built near me in Lexington?

Type your address in the lookup at the top of this page. It lists development plans from the last three plan years and city projects within half a mile, from the city's own maps. For planning applications and building permits, the city's AgencyCounter development activity map shows both, and you can set it to notify you about an area.

What is a development plan?

A development plan lays out what is going on a piece of land. In Lexington, the Planning Commission approves subdivision plats and development plans. The Commission's 11 members are appointed by the mayor and approved by the Urban County Council.

How do I find out about zone changes?

Zone changes aren't on this page, because the city doesn't publish a map of them. The Planning Commission reviews zone change requests and makes recommendations to the Urban County Council. The city's Planning Commission page explains how to search applications under review, and its hearings are recorded on LexTV.

How often is this page updated?

We refresh our copy of the city's maps every quarter. Each day the page also checks the city's maps and says so here if the city has updated them since our copy. The three-plan-year window moves forward on its own each January.

Does this page keep my address?

No. Your address is matched with the U.S. Census Bureau geocoder and never stored on our servers. If you like, your browser can remember it for our other address lookups, and you can forget it at any time.
