History

The city hall began construction in the mid-1990s and completed in 2003 under Mayor Democrito Plaza II. It was inaugurated on August 2, 2005, by Mayor Daisy Plaza. [1] Shortly after city officials were transferred to the new building, the old building was razed. In 2009, Mayor Plaza II began construction of a new three-story councilor's building, but construction was halted due to lack of funds. The councilor's building was finally completed in 2013 as a two-story building, and the rescue office was also opened. In 2014, a command center was added to the city hall.

The urban development patterns of Lexington, Kentucky, confined within an urban growth boundary protecting its famed horse farms, include greenbelts and expanses of land between it and the surrounding towns. This has been done to preserve the region's horse farms and the unique Bluegrass landscape, which bring millions of dollars to the city through the horse industry and tourism. Urban growth is also tightly restricted in the adjacent counties, with the exception of Jessamine County, with development only allowed inside existing city limits. In order to prevent rural subdivisions and large homes on expansive lots from consuming the Bluegrass landscape, Fayette and all surrounding counties have minimum lot size requirements, which range from 10 acres (40,000 m2) in Jessamine to fifty in Fayette.
