TOPEKA (KSNT) - The Topeka Planning Commission discussed and voted on a lot rezoning for a potential QuikTrip, ultimately recommending the rezoning to the city council.

The properties, located at 3835 Southwest 29th Street and 3825 Southwest 29th Street, needs to be rezoned from a C-4 Commercial District and a Two Family Dwelling District to a C-2 Commercial District to allow for the development of a new automobile service station type I.
