Shawnee council unanimously rezones 7.4 acres for 'Elysium Fields' development

The Shawnee City Council on Jan. 12 unanimously approved rezoning 7.4 acres from agriculture to single‑family residential for a development the recording identified as Elysium Fields. The approval was announced during the council's update to the public.

The rezoning was presented in the council's regular business update and described in the meeting feed as a unanimous approval. The recording does not state a mover or seconder, does not provide a numerical roll call of council members by name, and does not include additional details about conditions, developer commitments or a site plan.

Council members approved the change to the city's zoning designation to allow single‑family homes on the parcel; the announcement in the meeting feed said only that the council "unanimously approved the rezoning of 7.4 acres from agriculture to single family residential for a new single family home development called Elysium Fields." The recording does not specify a timeline for construction or additional permits required.

The council's next regular meeting is scheduled for Jan. 26 at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers at Shawnee City Hall.
