The Alexandria Planning and Zoning Commission meeting on April 7, 2026 opened with approval of prior meeting minutes and moved quickly into new business focused on recent state legislation affecting manufactured housing . The commission reviewed updates to Kentucky Revised Statute (KRS) 100.348, which will take effect July 1, 2026, and significantly changes how qualified manufactured homes are defined and regulated, including prohibiting local governments from treating them differently than single-family homes and removing prior manufacturing date restrictions. Members discussed the implications for local zoning, noting the urgency to adopt compliant language before the law’s effective date to retain some design and placement standards. The commission unanimously approved a motion directing staff to open a case file and draft recommended zoning text amendments for review at a future meeting. Additional updates included brief discussion of ongoing city development activity, such as anticipated progress on the Kroger project and land clearing near the VFW property, though no formal applications have been submitted for that site. Routine business included approval of invoices and a city update highlighting continued work on the new city building, upcoming opportunities for board members to tour the facility, and the recent approval of a Veterans Hall of Fame monument project at the city site. With no further business, the meeting adjourned.
