Calling for denser and more efficient growth, City of Lawrence leaders have approved regulations that prohibit new neighborhoods in rural areas near the city’s boundaries unless that land is ready to be added to the city. As part of its meeting Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission voted unanimously to approve an amendment to subdivision regulations for Lawrence and the unincorporated areas of Douglas County. The amendment bars the development of additional rural subdivisions, and instead requires potential developers to request that the land be added to city so the neighborhood is subject to city lot sizes and other standards.
