Draft Plans

Draft West of K-10 Plan

Since late spring, the Planning Office has been developing a sector plan for the area generally west of K-10 and south of Hwy. 40 containing approximately 2,065 acres with the input of property owners and stakeholders. Part of the planning area is east of K-10, south of Bob Billings Parkway to Clinton Parkway. Please see the planning area map below. This plan will help guide the city when making future land use decisions within the planning area when and if property is annexed into the city. This plan does not annex or rezone property. The plan will also help the public to visualize how the city intends the area to develop in the future.

The Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission approved the fourth draft of the West of K-10 plan at their regular meeting on October 20, 2008. The PC approved draft of the West of K-10 Plan can be found in the links below.

The next step in the approval process for the West of K-10 Plan is review and action by the City Commission. The Commission will likely take up this item at a meeting in November. The City Commission meets at 6:35pm in the City Commission Chambers, City Hall, 6 East 6th Street.
