Warren County’s residential real estate inventory will be growing soon.

The City-County Planning Commission of Warren County approved some housing developments large and small at its Thursday meeting that should add to that inventory.

The largest, an 80-lot development on 26.8 acres next to Phil Moore Park on Scottsville Road, was recommended in a 9-0 vote for rezoning from agriculture to single-family residential. Warren County Fiscal Court has the final say on the rezoning. The development calls for no more than 80 lots, with each residence having at least 1,800 square feet of living space.

The rezoning request was postponed for a month while developer Jody Allen worked out the best access to the property, but now he said he’s ready to start building houses.

“The topography was a challenge,” Allen said of the property that sits on a knob above the soapbox derby track at Phil Moore Park. “But we were able to purchase property from Charles Plemons next to the development and get access to the property from Upton Road.”

The development on property that had been owned by Crossland Community Baptist Church will not be accessible from busy Scottsville Road, only from Upton Road.

“We’re ready to start building,” Allen said. “The majority of the lots are already sold. The demand for housing in that area is really strong.”

A number of smaller developments were given the go-ahead by the planning commission.

Another development on 15 acres near the intersection of Scottsville Road and Plano Road will add to that area’s apartment inventory. The property owned by Bowling Green Partners LLC and managing partner Tom Pappas was recommended for rezoning from Planned Unit Development and Commercial to Multi-Family Residential and Highway Business. About 1.7 acres are earmarked for Highway Business, with the remaining acreage to be developed as apartments.

A plan by Vision Engineering of Lexington to develop 131 twinhomes at 265 Walnut Creek Drive near Morgantown Road was approved by the commission. The property is already zoned Multi-Family Residential.

The commission approved rezoning 5.1856 acres at 731 Pleasant Hill Road near Cemetery Road from agriculture to residential estate, with developer Mike Hymer of BCTA Properties LLC planning to subdivide the property into five lots for single-family homes.

BCTA Properties also got approval on a Detailed Development Plan to construct six buildings containing 48 two-bedroom apartments on 3.6379 acres at 344 Dye Ford Road. The property is zoned General Business.
