Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Oldham County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Mixed-use rezoning in downtown La Grange
The owners of Madeline's Nibbles needed CN zoning to permanently keep apartments above and beside their restaurant. The commission unanimously backed it, and the city council has the final say.
Accessory dwelling units on residential tracts
A new state law forces the county to treat qualified manufactured homes like stick-built homes in zoning, effective July 1. HOA deed restrictions can still exclude them, so this mostly affects agricultural and non-subdivision areas.
Setback relief for industrial and commercial additions
Two businesses along Highway 146 and Highway 22 won variances to expand buildings closer to lot lines than normally allowed — one adding an event venue, the other a mower showroom. Boards weighed fire separation, parking, and neighborhood character.
