The Topeka Planning Commission voted to approve PUD 2504, known in the application materials as Johnson Best Meadows (Fremont Hills), a rezoning request to create a new planned unit development that would allow multifamily residential and future commercial uses on a wooded site on the city’s southeast side.
Staff told the commission that the application would rezone the property from a mix of PUD, M2 (multiple‑family), R1 (single‑family) and M3 (multiple‑family) designations to a new PUD permitting M2 and C2 uses. The commission packet describes a two‑phase concept: Phase 1 on about 10 acres with nine buildings totaling 76 units (a mix of 1‑, 2‑ and 3‑bedroom apartments), parking and common open space; Phase 2, roughly five acres, is described as speculative and could accommodate a community center and future retail uses.
