Student Senate asked city commissioners on Tuesday to maintain a six-month grace period following the implementation of a new zoning code for the city. Part of the code would establish clear zoning boundaries between the city and University of Kansas, a current gray area. It is still being reviewed by the commission.

The zoning boundaries between the city and the University are to be enforced July 1. Jason Boots, Student Senate community affairs director, asked the commission to extend this date to Aug. 15.

This would maintain previous agreements with the University.

“I think it’s important to keep that goodwill between the city and the University,” Boots said.

The July 1 date was set because city officials expected to pass the ordinance more than a month ago.
