An industrial developer may reenter Olathe by annexing about 149 acres near U.S. Highway 169. On Monday evening, Kansas City-based Jones Development will go before the Olathe Planning Commission to request the annexation of about 149 acres on the northwest corner of 167th Street and U.S. Highway 169. City documents state that the developer plans to rezone and develop the site. The developer has a 40-year history of industrial work. Olathe spokesman Cody Kennedy said there are no plans right now for the type of development on the site. Annexation is a requirement before the land can be rezoned or developed.
