Land Development Code Improvement Committee

One of the recommendations from the Planning & Design Services audit is to update and simplify the Land Development Code. The Land Development Code (LDC) Improvement Committee consists of Louisville Metro Government staff, representatives from the development industry, representatives from neighborhood groups, as well as other organizations and citizen groups. The LDC Committee will meet regularly to discuss suggested changes to the LDC. These suggestions have been received from various interested parties and citizens throughout the community.

The LDC Committee has completed the first phase of the project that focused on minor technical changes that will improve the functionality of the LDC.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of Round One of text amendments to the Land Development Code on March 29, 2012.  This recommendation is to legislative bodies with zoning authority in Louisville Metro.
