Bardstown Road Corridor• Introduction: This planning area is composed of the frontage lots alongBardstown Road (US 62), from the Elizabethtown city limits to Upper ColesburgRoad. This planning area is part of the Urban Area Planning Group.• Existing Land Use: As might be expected along a major roadway corridor, thisplanning area is perceived as a commercial and industrial hub for the community.However, the Corridor is actually predominantly residential composed of singleand multi-family development. The former rock quarry property on the northside of Bardstown Road was recently redeveloped as WACO Subdivision (48Heavy Industrial lots), and Huntington Ridge Subdivision (7 Commercial lots) wasdeveloped recently on the south side of Bardstown Road. A variety of existingcommercial land uses provides services and employment opportunities. Theresidential developments have increased the need for commercial land uses andother services such as a church, a daycare, and climate controlled storage.2008 Comprehensive Plan
