Housing plan review postponed in Chanute public input awaited
City Planning Commission postponed the Housing Plan and Residential Area Analysis review due to an administrative error and extended the public comment period to December 15. The panel also approved a rezoning of a five acre parcel near Plummer Road and K-39 from R-1 to R-2, noting anticipated industrial uses. The vacation of part of West 2nd Street was tabled pending legal advice on the implications for a pre-1913 building nonconforming to zoning.
