The Overland Park City Council approved a rezoning application for a 100-acre development near 167th Street and U.S. Highway 69. The project by Price Brothers will feature hundreds of housing units and commercial space.
Why it matters
The site required formal rezoning from its previous rural designation to accommodate the proposed density of residential homes and retail sites. The developer included specific buffering measures between the residential and commercial sections of the property.
The plan allocates 56 acres for 122 single-family homes, 15 acres for 343 apartment units, and 30 acres for commercial development. The project total encompasses roughly 100 acres.
