TOPEKA (KSNT) – Topeka City Council approved an ordinance to rezone 1.36 acres of a company’s undeveloped land for proposed residential development on Tuesday.
An ordinance to rezone for multi-family housing 1.36 acres out 5.78 acres of land, parcel from ATA Development LLC, was approved on March 10 by city council — setting the stage for a plan of adding 18 duplexes along the west side of Southwest Urish Road.
The proposed project includes the construction of 18 two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplexes with single garages. The renter-occupied spaces would be $2,499 a month and is aimed to be market-rate age in place housing.
City council also approved a resolution that would now require the city to look into ATA Development’s application for a Reinvestment Housing Incentive District to raise project financing, which would later be reviewed by the Secretary of Commerce.
