LAND USE ELEMENT 3-11D. Kentucky 313 CorridorIntroduction: The Fort Knox Military Reservation in northern Hardin County is animportant asset to the community and it is a major employer and major land owner.The military reservation, due to its mission, has its own unique land use pattern andimpacts related to that land use. Although local government has no control over landuse within Fort Knox it must address the impacts that the reservation has on theremainder of the community generally, and specifically, the impact that land use insurrounding areas has on the mission of Fort Knox and the impact that Fort Knox’smission has on adjacent properties. The Kentucky 313 Corridor identified by thisplan and in local regulations is just such an area. It is located along Kentucky 313just south of the Fort Knox military reservation.Natural Features: The Kentucky 313 Corridor has areas that are relatively flat togently or severely sloped. Some of the area is heavily wooded and a portion isaffected by the floodplain along the Rolling Fork River, Mill Creek and Mud Creek.Existing Land Use: The existing land use pattern in this area is marked by sparsesingle-family residential use at a very low density as well and some nonresidentialuse. There are a few more densely developed residential areas in the form ofsubdivisions towards the southern portion of this area.Recommended Land Use Pattern and Development Criteria: The following arerecommended land use types for the Kentucky 313 Corridor generally. Also providedare general guidelines for development in Kentucky 313 Corridor.‣ Residential uses are discouraged.‣ Where residential uses are allowed they should be very low density uses,such as Residential Estate.‣ Development within the floodplain is discouraged.‣ The requirements of the Kentucky 313 Corridor, outlined in theDevelopment Guidance System, should continue to be applied to this area.‣ Development in this area should be undertaken in a way mindful of theimpacts of the Military reservation and in particular the noise impacts.‣ The Regional Wastewater Facilities Plan identifies this area as part of arural watershed and does not propose a regional wastewater treatmentsolution in the next twenty year planning period. The continued use ofon-site treatment/disposal systems is expected. As development occurs,construction of decentralized wastewater collection and treatment systemswith long-term management, operation and maintenance is desired.E. Industrial AreasIntroduction: Industry, primarily the manufacturing, fabrication and/or distributionof goods has been, and will continue to be, an important part of the Hardin County2008 Comprehensive Plan
LAND USE ELEMENT 3-12economy. The undeveloped industrial areas in Hardin County are limited. One is theexisting industrial park located immediately southeast of the City of Elizabethtownroughly between the Western Kentucky Parkway and US 62. Another is theundeveloped property located adjacent to I-65 near Glendale.Natural Features: The existing industrial area has some rolling terrain and wet areasadjacent to streams but has areas that are flat and unencumbered by environmentalconcerns or hazards. The Glendale property is relatively flat without any realconstraints.Existing Land Use: The existing industrial area has heavy commercial uses inaddition to light and heavy industrial uses. There are sporadic residential uses also.The Glendale industrial site is undeveloped property used most recently for lowintensity agricultural use.Recommended Land Use Pattern and Development Criteria: The following arerecommended land use types for the Industrial Areas generally. Also provided aregeneral guidelines for development in Industrial Areas.‣ The community should insure that utilities and other infrastructure areadequate to serve future expansion of existing and future industrial areas.‣ Developed areas need to have adequately sized lots available and readyfor industrial development in order to aid industrial development efforts.‣ The community should examine providing community facilities/amenitiesto serve industries (i.e. walking paths, parks).‣ The community should explore Airport expansion in order to providecommuter service thereby attracting the varying types of industrydependant on it.‣ Public areas in and around industrial areas could have improvedappearance and character.‣ Convenience commercial uses (i.e. daycares, banks and restaurants)serving employees and the surrounding area should be encouraged. Otheropportunities for appropriate mixture of uses should be explored.‣ Land use otherwise should be limited to light and heavy industrial uses.F. Interstate Commerce AreasIntroduction: Hardin County is fortunate to have interstate class highways as part ofits roadway network. Interstate class highways, in the case of Hardin County theywould be I-65 and the William Natcher Western Kentucky Parkway, serve regionalareas connecting cities. As such they carry higher volume, higher speed traffic withlimited interchanges with other roadways. At appropriate interchanges, there is anopportunity for commercial uses that serve the transient public as well as the localpopulation. The Interstate Commerce areas identified by this plan are just this typeof area.2008 Comprehensive Plan
