Jefferson City Council approves rezoning plan for 140-unit duplex development

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Jefferson City Council on Monday approved a plan to rezone a portion of Wildwood Drive for duplexes as well as a new subdivision.
The proposal was brought last month by a Florida-based company, looking to rezone 51.54 acres the 1200 block of Wildwood Drive from commercial zoning to high-density residential.
The plan calls for the development of as many as 70 duplexes in the area, as well as plans for an area called the Wildwood Estates Subdivision.
The city has been working to increase housing units since a severe storm took out around 150 units in 2019.
