Nieder Acres owner seeks full rezoning compromise proposal debated
Nieder Acres property owner Steve Sublett seeks annexation into the city and rezoning of the entire 30 acre subdivision for commercial use. He and other owners argue that current plans to rezone only 18 acres would erode land value and fail to address failing infrastructure and encroachment by Target Stores Inc. Aldi has bought rights to a two acre site nearby for a 14000 square foot store. A public hearing by the Lawrence Douglas County Planning Commission is set for August 25 to consider Sublett’s nine amendments and another six proposed by Myles Schachter.
