AGENDA ITEM 2A Chairman Peil opened Agenda Item 2A at 9:03 a.m.
/ ORDINANCE
AMENDING Matt Wright, Senior Planner, stated that before the Commission are six (6) Code
SECTIONS / Amendments that staff is proposing based on clean-up and updates with language to the
02.01.2019 kf Page 1 of 4
Ordinance Amending code. The first items are amendments to the Historical Overly District. This item will be
Section 408.020: H-O, heard by the Historic Preservation Commission and they will make a recommendation to
Historic Overlay the Planning Commission.
District; Section
411.030: Use Groups Mr. Wright stated that the Historic Overlay District was created in 1986. The Historic
and Description of District includes four properties, with a larger district generally between Main Street and
Uses; Section Walnut and 15th to 19th Streets. These are the only areas that will be impacted with this
407.040: Site and proposed amendment unless there are additional Historic Districts or landmarks
Landscape Design; established elsewhere, outside of downtown in the future.
Section 405.020:
Residential Building Mr. Wright stated that when the Historic District was established there was not a
Type Standards; Downtown Zoning District, which was established in 2007. The Downtown Zoning
Section 407.010: District allows accessory dwelling units by right and duplexes with Conditional Use
Parking; Section Permits. Rather than repeating that in multiple sections of the code it’s easier to just take
402.030: Board of it out of the Historic Overlay because it’s already addressed in the underlying zoning
Adjustment district.
The City is recommending that bed and breakfast inns be allowed and to allow the
QUESTIONS operator to live in the accessory dwelling on the same property. If there is a carriage home
on the property, the owner can live in it and allow guests to stay in the main house.
Mr. Wright stated that there are several land uses that are listed that are permitted with a
Conditional Use Permit, but those were not defined in the code. The second amendment
would be to amend Section 411.030, which includes description of uses in the code to
define those uses. The arts and crafts studios, art galleries, antique shops, bed and
breakfasts, and museums will be defined. Currently, the Historic Overlay District listed
restaurants, which is fairy open-ended. Staff will discuss this with the HPC to see if they
want to leave that open-ended and allow any kind of restaurant, or if they would like to
further restrict the uses to only allow specialty restaurants.
Commissioner Bob Frost would like to see that guests of a bed and breakfast could stay
in either structure, whether it be the main or an accessory structure.
Mr. Wright stated that the following sections also need to be amended.
Section 407.040, Site and Landscape Design:
D. Buffers, Screens and Fencing: completely remove landscape easement requirements
for subdivisions, as Code requires landscape buffers to be in tracts.
E. Installation, Maintenance and Replacement: add screening to this section.
Section 405.020, Residential Building Type Standards: change the lot sizes for Detached
House – Large Lot, Neighborhood Lot, as well as Duplex – Standard and Neighborhood
Lot, which include a 1-ft. reduction in minimum lot widths for the two (2) detached house
lots, and adjusts lot sizes, widths, and setbacks for duplex lots to allow them to be
subdivided into individual lots/units.
Section 402.030.2 Board of Adjustment: remove all references to “use variances.”
02.01.2019 kf Page 2 of 4
Section 407.010. Parking and Loading: the amendment will allow the Community
Development Director and/or Planning Commission to allow a Schedule A or B Use to
utilize the Schedule C parking study process. This provides for more flexibility.

TO: Development Advisory Commission
FROM: Mike Mallon, Assistant Director, Community Development
SUBJECT: Review of Regulations for Erosion Control
The City currently has no building or development requirements in the Municipal Code, that apply
to properties less than one acre in size, which regulate the transfer of mud, debris, or sediment
from construction sites to adjacent properties and/or the City rights-of-way. Construction activity
continues to be seen throughout the City and there exists the potential for negative impacts of
such activity on adjacent properties which could result during times of heavy rain or snow.
Consequently, City staff, at the direction of City Council, has researched other communities’
regulations regarding erosion and sediment control in order to provide for standards that would
be enforced in the City. The intent of the standards is to require property owners, developers,
builders or contractors to be responsible for preventing any erosion or transfer of sediment from
their construction sites to adjacent properties. As such, Staff is proposing amendments to
the Municipal Code, specifically to add a new Chapter, Chapter 520, to Title X
Building and Construction, of the Code of Ordinances for the City.
The proposed amendments to the Code are anticipated to be presented to the City Council on
May 20, 2019.
The proposed language is contained below:
Chapter 520. Erosion and Sediment Control
Section 520.010. Intent.
This Chapter is enacted for the purpose of regulating the erosion and/or transfer of sediment between
properties as a result of grading, construction, building or development activities on private property within
the incorporated area of the city to property; to encourage certain Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC)
standards and Best Management Practices (BMPs) to minimize erosion and prevent the movement of
sediment and debris from construction sites to adjacent properties and/or the public rights-of-way; to
avoid pollution of watercourses with nutrients, sediments, and other earthen materials generated on or
caused by surface runoff on or across the permitted area; to ensure that the intended use of the graded
site is consistent with the city subdivision and zoning codes, and related approvals and to protect property
and the public welfare. This Chapter is not intended to regulate any existing or pre-existing drainage or
runoff across or between already developed or improved properties that are not related to building,
construction or development activities.
Section 520.020. Scope and Applicability
A. The regulations contained in this Chapter shall apply to all residential and non-residential
construction sites that are greater than 300 square feet but less than 1 acre is size.
B. For the purposes of this Chapter, the term “construction site” shall mean any lot or parcel
of land or combination of contiguous lots or parcels of land, whether held separately or
joined together in common ownership or occupancy, where grading is to be performed or
has been performed for the purposes of site improvement activity, preparation, grading,
stockpiling, development, building, assembly, erection, substantial repair, alteration or
similar action, including demolition, for which a building permit is required under Chapter
500, as well as any grading or development activities that disturb land so as to cause the
movement of sediment from one property to another as a result of the construction activity.
C. For the purposes of this Chapter, Erosion means the wearing away and transportation of
earth material as a result of the movement of wind, water, or ice.
Section 520.030. Erosion and Sediment Control
A. It shall be unlawful for a property owner, permit holder, or assigns to allow for the erosion
or transfer of sediment and debris from a construction site to an adjacent property or the
public right-of-way.
B. The property owner and/or building permit holder of a construction site shall ensure that
adequate ESC measures and BMPs are in place and functioning prior to and during all
construction activities, until construction is complete.
Section 520.040 Enforcement
A. The Department of Codes Administration shall handle erosion control enforcement
through the normal routine activities that include inspecting the site, communicating with
the permit holder, contractor, developer, or owner, and issuing notices of non-compliance.
1. If erosion control measures are determined to be deficient in preventing the
transfer of sediment from a construction site to an adjacent property and/or the public
right of way the Codes Administrator or his designee may immediately discontinue
all inspections for the site.
2. In addition to immediately discontinuing all inspections for the site, upon the Codes
Administrator’s determination that erosion control measures are deficient, but not
hazardous, the Codes Administrator shall notify the contractor, developer, or owner
to take remedial action to correct the deficiencies within two (2) regular business
days. If the deficiencies have not been corrected within two (2) regular business
days, the Codes Administrator may:
a. Issue a stop work order for the site;
b. Remedy the deficiencies and bill the contractor, developer, or owner for the
actual and administrative costs of remediation. If the contractor, developer, or
2
owner fails to reimburse the City for correcting the deficiencies, the Codes
Administrator may withhold certificate(s) of occupancy, including temporary
certificate(s) of occupancy, for all contractor, developer, or owner's properties;
and pursue remedies as provided in this Code of Ordinances.
B. Enforcement of tracking mud, debris, etc.
1. Any contractor, developer, or owner and/or his employees and/or subcontractors
who deposit, spill, drop or track any dirt, earth, mud, rock, sand, shale, debris,
rubbish or other material on any right of way shall immediately remove the material
from the right of way. If the contractor, developer, or owner and/or his employees
and/or subcontractors fail to immediately remove the dirt, earth, mud, rock, sand,
shale, debris, rubbish or other material from the right-of-way, the Codes
Administrator may take any or all of the following actions:
a. Issue a stop work order
b. Discontinue all inspections for any site contributing to the violation;
c. Withhold certificate(s) of occupancy, including temporary certificates of
occupancy(s), for any site contributing to the violation.
C. If the notice of violation is not complied with, the Codes Administrator shall institute the
appropriate proceeding pursuant to City ordinances and at law or in equity to punish,
restrain, correct or abate such violation, All other violations of this Chapter may be
forwarded to the City Prosecuting Attorney for consideration of filing charges.
D. Any person who shall violate a provision of Chapter 520 or fail to comply therewith, or with
any of the requirements thereof, in addition to any other remedy or action available to the
City or Codes Administrator, shall be punished, upon conviction, pursuant to Section
100.080.C of the Blue Springs Code of Ordinances. Each day that a violation continues
after due notice has been served shall be deemed a separate offense.
E. The imposition of the penalties herein prescribed shall not preclude the Codes
Administrator or legal officer of the jurisdiction from instituting appropriate action to
restrain, correct or abate a violation, abate a violation pursuant to Sections 245.060
through 245.150 and 245.270 herein and this Chapter, or to prevent illegal occupancy of
a building, structure or premises, or to stop an illegal act, conduct, business or utilization
of the building, structure or premises.
Section 520.050. Severability.
If a Section, Subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this Chapter is, for any reason, held to be
unconstitutional, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Chapter.

DATE: April 30, 2019
TO: Development Advisory Commission
FROM: Mike Mallon, Assistant Director, Community Development
SUBJECT: Proposed amendments to the Unified Development Code (UDC) to adopt
regulations for the zoning, land use, and development standards related to
medical marijuana uses and facilities
On November 6, 2018 the voters of the State of Missouri approved Amendment 2 to the
Constitution of the State of Missouri which purportedly legalizes medical marijuana within the
State. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services has released Draft Rules to
effectuate the provisions of Article XIV for medical marijuana uses and facilities. Under the
timeline established by Article XIV, applicants seeking to open medical marijuana facilities
may begin submitting applications to the DHSS on August 3, 2019. As part of that
process, applications need to have locations of proposed facilities specified and must show
compliance with any local regulations enacted in addition to the provisions of Article XIV.
On January 7, 2019, City Council adopted a Resolution enacting an Administrative Delay
in accepting or processing applications in the City related to medical marijuana, with the
expectation that staff bring forward necessary amendments to the City Code in the 2nd
Quarter of 2019 to comply with the timelines established by the DHSS.
Article XIV of the Missouri Constitution identifies four types of Marijuana-related businesses:
Cultivation Facility, Dispensary Facility, Infused Products Manufacturing Facility, and Testing
Facility. The existing Unified Development Code (UDC) does not currently provide any
regulations that allow for the sale, cultivation and distribution of medical marijuana in the City.
As a first step, City staff has researched necessary changes to the UDC to regulate Medical
Marijuana businesses for zoning, land uses and other development standards that are seeking
to operate facilities in the City once authorized by the State, including:
1. The UDC needs to provide definitions for medical marijuana facilities and identify for
zoning districts in which they may be permitted throughout the City.
2. Local governments may also establish a reduced separation distance from the 1,000-foot
requirement in Article XIV from these facilities to schools, child day care centers, and
churches.
3. In addition to the buffer requirements, local governments may enact other regulations
regarding the time, place and manner in which medical marijuana facilities may operate
in the City.
Attached to this Memorandum is DRAFT language to amend various Sections of the UDC that
staff believes are necessary and recommended to adopt regulations for the zoning, land use
and development standards related to medical marijuana uses and facilities.
The anticipated timeline for adopting UDC Amendments for medical marijuana uses is identified
below:
1. Review by the Development Advisory Commission: May 2, 2019
2. Review by the Planning Commission: May 13, 2019 Public Hearing
3. Review by the City Council: May 20, 2019 Public Hearing
