ZONING (CONTINUED FROM 4)
fect this plan. The owners would have had to apply for a zoning change to accommodate their "mixed use" structure regardless.
The proposal has been submitted, but before this plan could come to fruition, several things must happen with the city.
The first step in the approval process starts with the planning office, the day-today city planning staff. The planning office would make a recommendation — it does
not approve or deny a proposal — to the planning commission, a board of 10 appointed officials and to the Lawrence City Commission.
This case was different. The Hancock District, Oread Avenue to Mississippi Street on west 12th Street, and the Snow House, 706 W. 12th St., were listed
706 W. 12th St were invited on the National Register for historic places in Douglas County. Because the corner at 12th and Indiana streets was within 500 feet of those historic landmarks, the Historic Resources Commission would have to approve the proposal first. State law requires that planned proposals near historic sites be reviewed.
If approved by the resources commission, the proposal would go before the planning commission. If it was approved there, the city commission would then have to approve it.
"The project will unfold in the coming months."
approve it. If it was approved by those three departments, that would conclude the governmental process, allowing the property
owners to develop.
This would not happen overnight. Michelle Leininger, an Area/Neighborhood planner with the planning office, said that proposals often change before they're approved.

Krebs added that sometimes the steps of getting a proposal passed go smoothly and changes take a short amount of time, but it doesn't always work like that.
This proposal was no different. The redevelopment won't happen tomorrow.
"The project will unfold in the coming months," Brian Foxworthy, an architect with Incite Design Studio, the firm that submitted the proposal, said.
Goans said it's a slow process.
Krebs agreed with the six-month estimate.
"It may take six months;" he said.
"It may be a long time before there's any construction," she said.
One group that had little control with any aspect of the process was the Oread Neighborhood Association. It was not a voting body, Leininger said. She added that the Neighborhood Association could not like a proposal, fight a proposal with the planning commission and city commission, but had no voting power to approve its addition to the neighborhood.

THEATRE (CONTINUED FROM 6)
nior, said he keeps his characters apart by the way he speaks. One character speaks nasally, while the other sounds more natural.
Because "And Then There Were None" is a play, it leaves room for error because accompaniment isn't present, Waite said.
Going into the summer, Fleming thought the shows would be difficult to keep separate, but she found out she was wrong.
Her characters are contrasting and even
though the shows are both mysteries, they are different in styles.
"Something's Afoot," directed by Staniunas, is a musical, so everything is choreographed.
Fleming said she enjoys the musical because the style of the script allows the actors to be ridiculous in ways they normally wouldn't.
"I personally don't go walking around singing how lovely the world is." Fleming said.
