The Goddard Planning Commission approved the zoning change and development plan Nov. 9.

It would be the first project approved since Goddard passed the most restrictive duplex design regulations in Sedgwick County earlier this year. Derby is working on housing rules too: its Planning Commission held a workshop Nov. 5 on limits for residential units in commercial and industrial districts.
