Louisville council to consider AdventHealth hospital campus Aug. 4
The proposed 39.9-acre Redtail Ridge campus includes a 153-bed hospital, medical-office building and helipad; council had not acted as of Aug. 1.
Louisville City Council is scheduled to consider AdventHealth’s proposed hospital campus at Redtail Ridge on Aug. 4, but no vote had occurred as of Aug. 1. The agenda lists Resolution 66, Series 2026, for its only reading and says the council may take final action on the planned unit development, a special review use for a helipad and a development agreement for 900 Rockcress Drive, according to the city’s agenda packet.
The item was continued from the council’s July 21 public hearing. The agenda and staff materials recommend approval, but a resolution attachment dated Aug. 4 is not evidence of a vote because that date was still in the future. The reporting record contains no later minutes, vote tally, signed resolution or recording receipt.
If approved, the roughly 39.9-acre plan would include a five-story, 371,600-square-foot hospital with 153 beds, including 30 shelled for future construction; a 62,000-square-foot medical-office building; a 2,000-square-foot facilities-storage building; and a helipad. The final PUD submission lists 773 vehicle spaces and access from Northwest Parkway, Campus Drive and South 88th Street. Rockcress Drive and Sorrel Avenue are nearby collector roads.
The proposal has two phases: Phase 1 would build the hospital and site improvements, while Phase 2 would add the medical-office building and related work. The application does not establish a construction start date, opening date or date for relocating AdventHealth’s existing facility.
Traffic projections and improvements
A January 2026 Kimley-Horn study projects 6,268 weekday vehicle trips for a 2030 Phase 1 scenario and 10,632 at modeled full buildout around 2040. The Phase 1 scenario assumes up to 200 hospital beds and 80,000 square feet of medical-office space; full buildout assumes 300 beds and 160,000 square feet of medical offices, beyond the initial proposal. The figures are projections, not post-construction counts, the traffic study says.
The study says the network could accommodate the project if recommended improvements are implemented, including a signal at Campus Drive and 96th Street, turn lanes and extensions near Northwest Parkway, roundabouts at Campus Drive/Sorrel Avenue and Rockcress Drive/Sorrel Avenue, and controls at campus accesses. It recommends stop control at the primary Rockcress Drive entrance in Phase 1 while reserving pavement for another left-turn lane; at full buildout, it favors a signal for emergency-vehicle preemption and visitor access. The record does not establish that the improvements are funded or built, or quantify effects on emergency response times.
