Prairie Village is getting heated over a plan to expand affordable housing

An ad hoc committee appointed by the mayor of Prairie Village has submitted recommendations meant to diversify the city’s housing stock and affordability. The plan, among other things, would change zoning rules to allow more multi-unit buildings in zones designated for multi-family housing. Dan Schoepf, a member of Prairie Village United — a group organized in opposition to the recommendations — questioned the city’s ability to mandate diversity and rent costs. And he raised concerns about expanding the use of accessory dwelling units.
