The Unified Government Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the Rosedale Master Plan during its meeting on August 25, 2005.

The Master Plan will serve as a roadmap for future development in Rosedale. It does not change current zoning or existing structures. Rather, it is a concrete guide to ensure that future development coincides with community wants and needs.

The Master Plan is the product of a thorough process of community dialogue and partnership. Neighborhood leaders, business owners, community stakeholders, and representatives from local agencies, schools, churches, and the University of Kansas Medical Center participated in the formation and development of the Plan.
