Cemetery Road Urban Growth Overlay-Future Land Use Map

General Policy Statement:

LU-1-CRC-1 All development in the Cemetery Road Corridor shall conform to the adopted Future Land Use Map unless evidence can be presented that the proposed use is in compliance with the policies of the Cemetery Road Corridor Policy Plan and the Comprehensive Plan.

Residential Policies:

LU-5-CRC-1 All residential development and re-development should be compatible with existing neighboring residential uses. This relates to density, lot sizes, housing type and style, as it adjoins existing developments. Open space should be provided throughout and between future developments.

LU-5-CRC-2 All single family and multi-family residential development shall provide curb, gutter, and sidewalks (or other means of pedestrian circulation and linkage to the greenways system).

Commercial Policies:

LU-6-CRC-1 All commercial uses should be of neighborhood scale and character, and should be compatible with the surrounding residential uses and densities. Such uses as manufactured homes sales lots, self storage buildings, bars with less than 50% food sales, and businesses with a high percentage of outdoor storage are incompatible with the corridor.

LU-6-CRC-2 To ensure compatibility of land uses and to preserve the residential character of the Cemetery Road Corridor, O/P (Office and Professional) land uses should be encouraged along the new KY 234 highway corridor between Lovers Lane and Cumberland Trace. Such development would follow the concepts in creating and respecting a residential scale and character as set forth in the adopted overlay district.

LU-6-CRC-3 Interchange signs and off-premise billboards shall be prohibited in the adopted corridor. Large off-premise signs will not enhance the visual appeal of the corridor.

LU-6-CRC-4 Any edge of a commercial site which abuts a residential district or use must be landscaped and screened. All site development must be in compliance with the adopted Overlay District.

LU-6-CRC-5 Lighting in commercial areas should be compatible with the surrounding property uses. Lighting should be directed away and shielded from any adjacent and nearby residential uses and be focused on the intended property only, in order to prevent light trespass.

Industrial Policies:

LU-7-CRC-1 Industrial development within the Cemetery Road Corridor shall be prohibited.
