Rezoning for Leavenworth Street lots fails after public outcry
No townhomes will be built in the neighborhood just east of City Park. The Manhattan City Commission made this decision after residents expressed their opposition to changing the neighborhood's zoning to allow adjacent multi-unit dwellings.
Developer Gavin Schmidt, director of business development at BHS Construction, had petitioned to rezone two lots: one at 300 North 11th St. and the other at 1020 Leavenworth St. The proposed change was from low-density residential to low-density residential attached, which would have allowed the building of townhomes or duplexes.
