The Louisville Metro Council approved the rezoning and subdivision of approximately 62.24 acres at Windcrest Farms Section 3 from R-4 Single Family Residential to R-5 and PRD Planned Residential District. The development includes 288 lots, comprising 248 detached homes, 38 semi-detached homes, and 2 flexible-use lots. The project emphasizes walkability, aging in place, and intergenerational living through varied housing types. Binding elements include preservation of tree canopy, construction of new intersection improvements at Bardstown and Thixton Lane, and detailed homeowner association requirements. The project connects to the existing Windcrest Farms neighborhood and aligns with Louisville Metro’s Plan 2040 goals for housing choice and neighborhood compatibility.
This rezoning expands Louisville's housing options by enabling a large, mixed-style residential development in an area previously zoned for lower density. It promotes sustainable community design, enhances infrastructure, and supports diverse, intergenerational housing opportunities.
