A controversial zoning issue in Villa Hills will be heard at the Planning and Development Services of Kenton County (PDS) meeting tonight at 6:15 p.m. Lakeside Christian Church, 195 Buttermilk Pike.
The meeting room will accommodate only 900 people. It was rescheduled because of the over-flow crowd trying to attend the last meeting.
The zoning issue involves The Sanctuary, the development of land sold by the St. Walburg Convent to Ashley Commercial Group. PDS has approved the zoning from residential to mixed use. The city council unanimously supported the re-zoning.
The development will include a large apartment complex and some commercial.
The opposition, Defend Villa Hills, says this will increase traffic in what has been a residential area — attacking the “integrity of Villa Hills” and “ending the era of Villa Hills as a bedroom community.”
The City of Villa Hills issued a notice about the meeting, saying that a quorum of the city council may attend the meeting but no city business would be undertaken by the council.
Here is the agenda for the meeting:
