Lexington's urban layout, with a strictly controlled urban growth boundary around the city and a greenbelt between it and the surrounding towns, is similar to European and Canadian cities and very unlike the typical US cityscape. This has been done in an effort to preserve the area's horse farms and Bluegrass landscape, which brings millions of dollars to the city both in the horse industry and tourism. Urban growth is also strictly controlled in the surrounding counties, with the only areas allowed for development being inside the limits of existing cities. Fayette and all of the surrounding counties have minimum lot size requirements (ranging from 10 to 50 acres minimum land to build a new house) to prevent "rural subdivisions" from eating up the Bluegrass landscape. In addition, the downtown area has also seen a recent building and revitalization boom. Most of the new projects are built on the sites of former tobacco warehouses along the South Broadway corridor. Examples of this include the "500's on the Main" of new residential condos and commercial properties along Main Street, "The Fairmont on Main," "ARTEK LOFTS," "The Lofts at Gratz Park," "Center Court," "South Hill Crossing," "The Blackhorse at Gratz Park, "Main+Rose," and "The Woodlands."
