Manhattan city commissioners approved Kansas State University’s request to rezone a tract of land as part of its Edge District development plan.
The 15.7 acre area on the northeast corner of Kimball and College Avenue was rezoned from university college district to mixed use in a unanimous 4-0 vote. Commissioner John Matta was not present at Tuesday’s commission meeting and did not vote. The planning board recommended approval of K-State’s request.
Stephanie Peterson, director of community development, reminded the commission that the land could not be conditionally rezoned depending on what the university planned to do with it, providing it adheres to zoning restrictions.
