The July 15, 2025 meeting of the Alexandria, Kentucky Planning and Zoning Commission addressed three major agenda items. First, the Commission reviewed and approved a site development plan for a new Walmart-affiliated fuel station at 6711 Alexandria Pike, featuring 16 pumps, a walk-in convenience store, and updated site infrastructure. Discussions covered traffic flow, parking, KYTC recommendations, pedestrian safety, and fire safety. Second, zoning text amendments were proposed regarding vape and tobacco retailers. The Commission voted to retain regulations for both, including a new definition for “tobacco retail store” (requiring 85% of sales to be tobacco-related) and a 600-foot separation between such establishments, while aligning terminology with evolving state law. Third, the Commission approved a zoning amendment allowing accessory structures (like sheds and pools) to be placed as close as 5 feet from rear property lines, improving flexibility for homeowners. Additionally, it was announced that a position on the Planning and Zoning Commission is opening due to the upcoming resignation of board member Michelle Nelson. The city is currently accepting applications to fill the vacancy. The meeting closed with administrative updates and an executive session concerning pending litigation.Disclaimer: This summary was generated using AI and may not capture all meeting nuances or discussions.
