This section says cities and counties in the same joint planning unit do not have to adopt identical zoning regulations, and one local government’s zoning change cannot be made conditional on another’s matching change, except as provided in KRS 100.137(3).
Before zoning regulations are adopted, the planning commission must prepare the text and map, hold at least one public hearing, and give notice under KRS Chapter 424.
Some local governments may adopt ordinances for transferable development rights, and the ordinance must map the areas where rights can be transferred and used.
A city may amend its comprehensive plan and zoning map before annexing or transferring territory, but if it uses that procedure the planning commission must hold a public hearing and the city must give notice and act on the recommendations before the annexation or transfer ordinance is adopted.
In a county with a consolidated local government, a density development project in a traditional single-family home zone must be handled like a zoning map amendment and follow the listed procedures; the planning unit may not use the alternative zoning-map-amendment regulation for it.
This section sets the procedure for zoning map and zoning text amendments, including planning commission review, public notice, hearings, recommendation deadlines, and final action deadlines.
A legislative body or fiscal court may use this alternative zoning map amendment procedure, with referral to the planning commission, a public hearing, notice, and possible review by the legislative body or fiscal court.
For most proposed zoning map amendments, notice of the hearing must be posted on the property and mailed to adjoining owners and certain public officials.
Before a map amendment is granted, the planning commission, legislative body, or fiscal court must make the required findings and record them; they may also adopt a two-year bar on reconsidering a denied map amendment or an identical one.
For certain zoning map amendment hearings, the planning commission must give posted and mailed notice, and the hearing may be rescheduled if enough local property owners petition in time.
