Two Lincoln Affordable Housing Projects Get Green Light From City Council
The area has developed somewhat haphazardly, with urban development to the south and southeast, while the areas to the north, east and southwest are largely rural areas.
Lorenz said the area is expected to continue to expand southward over the next several years, as work on South Beltway and Standing Bear High School is completed, both of which are expected to be completed in 2023.
Baade is asking for annexation of the land as well as a zoning change, and a Planning Commission hearing on the project is tentatively scheduled for Jan.5.
Lorenz said if the approval process goes smoothly, work on the project could begin as early as the summer.
