NEWTON, Kan. — The Newton City Commission passed an ordinance to create a Rural Housing Incentive District during Tuesday’s regular meeting. The council also adopted the development plan for a proposed multi-family housing project at SE 14th Street near South Pine Street.
The project, called The Enclave at 14th, will consist of seven duplexes for a total of 14 individual units. Central Park Studios LLC of Bel Aire is the developer.
The meeting included a public hearing on the proposal, which originally was on the agenda for July 26.
Under state statute, the Harvey County Commission and USD 373 Board of Education have 30 days to register opposition to the creation of the housing district. If neither party votes to oppose, the ordinance will take effect.
