This emergency ordinance rezones approximately 97 acres on Minor Lane from R-4, OR-2, and C-2 to EZ-1 Enterprise Zone to support a major industrial development. The site will host four office/warehouse facilities totaling 1.2 million square feet, with primary access through Minor Lane. The project involves the removal of an on-site mobile home community, with significant efforts to assist displaced residents, including housing counseling, financial relocation assistance, and multilingual outreach. This rezoning aligns with the Plan 2040 goals and reflects the area's transition from residential to industrial use.
This rezoning facilitates substantial industrial development in Louisville, providing economic benefits, increased employment opportunities, and modern infrastructure. It also incorporates measures to mitigate the impact on displaced residents.
