The PD zoning and Campus form district, governed by a pattern book, would let future buildings be approved by staff while the JCC retains design oversight. Metro Council has the final say.

Land Development & Transportation Committee — September 10, 2026
The Jewish Community of Louisville wants to rezone its Dutchmans Lane campus to a Planned Development District with a Campus form district, replacing the current single-family and office designations. That opens the door to more flexible development on the site, and nearby residents will want to watch how traffic, building scale, and green space are handled.
