The Urban County Planning Commission unanimously approved a zone change for an assisted living center or nursing home in the Meadowthorpe neighborhood.

Antique Drive is an access road behind the Meadowthorpe shopping center. Solomon Van Meter, the developer, has proposed building a 30-bed assisted living center or nursing home on the property. The lot is currently vacant.
