This Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment expands the recipient criteria for notification letters relating to local development activity to include both owners and occupants within a specified radius from the project site. Such a change ensures that all interested members of the community, including renters, business owners, and employees, have the ability to be involved in the development process, not just those who own property.
By providing the information contained within the letter, a member of the community can lend their voice to planning process, either in person or through written correspondence. The inclusion of the public in the planning process is imperative to the creation of a Lexington that is reflective of the community values and more equitable.
