The Manhattan city commission on Tuesday unanimously approved three requests related to the Manhattan Infill Housing project.

“Since it has changed, (the project) still includes 40 units,” said Stephanie Peterson, director of community development. “Those units are going to be three bedroom, two baths. There are 28 units that are at the LK Townhomes site, and then 12 at Lee Mill Village. There are going to be 22 for-sale units at LK and and Lee Mill Village combined. And then the 18 rental units for this project are all contained in LK.”

The city confirmed that the housing units would not be permitted for use as short-term rentals in any capacity for a 10-year period.

Manhattan city commissioners Tuesday approved more than $2 million in tax breaks to raze the downtown Commerce Bank building and build a new retail and residential space.
