BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION Friendship Manor was constructed in 1979. It is currently in need of updating to make it a safe and viable property. National Church Residences is applying for Low Income Housing Tax Credits from MHDC to rehabilitate the building and requests the City’s support in its application. This is consistent with past requests from National Church Residences. The project includes energy efficient upgrades, new mechanical systems, new roof, windows and upgrades to the individual units. Friendship Manor is located at 917 NW Summit Drive, within the Blue Springs Downtown Zoning District. In April 2007, the Downtown Master Plan and Downtown Development Code were adopted. In the Plan, Friendship Manor was identified as an appropriate location for a multi-family dwelling. Through the Code, the City of Blue Springs adopted a form based zoning code wherein Friendship Manor was rezoned to “T4, General Urban.” This zoning calls for denser and primarily residential uses. This zone allows for different types of residences, including: singles; row houses; apartment buildings; and similar dwelling types. In accordance with the Downtown Master Plan and Downtown Development Code, it is the intent of the City of Blue Springs that this location remains an apartment building.
