Neighborhood housing text amendment

Louisville's zoning rules would newly allow duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, multiplexes up to 12 units, cottage courts, walking courts and townhomes by-right in many districts, with design standards and neighbor notice for projects of five or more units. Supporters say it adds badly needed housing supply; critics worry it erodes single-family neighborhoods and public input.
