Large proposed multifamily development in Goddard clears a hurdle

Even as Wichita-area homebuyers continue to struggle to find attainable housing options, the city of Goddard is close to giving approvals for Lange Real Estate to be able to move forward with a development that could help ease at least some of that demand. Lange wants to build duplexes, and perhaps quadplexes, sixplexes and even a limited number of single-family homes, on a 155-acre site west of 167th Street West between Maple and Central. In an interview with The Eagle, Ryan Mills, director of development for Lange Real Estate, said there is likely to be approximately 275 lots with a total of 550 to 600 residences in the phased development, with tentative price points anywhere from the mid-$200,000s to $350,000. At its Nov. 9 meeting, the Goddard Planning Commission approved a zoning change and development plan necessary for Lange’s project to go forward. The Goddard City Council will consider final approval of the project at its Nov. 16 meeting. “We’re challenged with: How do you provide moderate affordable housing options and do that in an efficient manner?” Mills said at the planning commission meeting. “I think it’s important for the community to understand that diversity in housing is an obstacle
