RATHDRUM — The Rathdrum Planning and Zoning Commission on July 21 will consider a 160-acre annexation and zoning request for an education campus, among other uses, at the southwest corner of Lancaster and Meyer roads.

The public hearing is at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 8047 W. Main St.

The zoning request by KTEC, NIC and Lakeland for 98 acres is for public use, 26 acres for industrial, 10 commercial and 22 for multi-family housing.

The planning commission will make a recommendation on the requests to the Rathdrum City Council.
