NeighborWorks Lincoln seeks R3 rezoning for 20-unit Zephyr Line affordable-housing project
Summary
NeighborWorks Lincoln presented a rezone request from R1 to R3 for an approximately 3-acre site at South 36th Street and Prescott Avenue to build roughly 20 units of affordable housing; the council received the presentation and had no public testimony on the item at this meeting.
Dylan Merman of NeighborWorks Lincoln presented a change-of-zone request to the City Council for the Zephyr Line project, proposing to rezone an approximately 3-acre site at South 36th Street and Prescott Avenue from R1 (residential) to R3 (residential) to allow development of roughly 20 units. Merman described outreach with nearby community members and positioned the project as infill development that aligns with Lincoln's comprehensive plan and the city's affordable action plan.
"We're proposing roughly 20 units to be developed here," Merman said, adding the project seeks to convert a former plant nursery site into housing for families. Councilmembers had no recorded questions that changed the proposal and there was no public testimony at the meeting; no final vote was recorded on the rezoning during this session.
Next steps: the application will continue through the city's zoning and permitting process and return for further council consideration as required.
