Title IV, Land Use Section – B.S. Code of Ordinances (by reference) 8. 2003 Comprehensive Plan (by reference) STAFF COMMENTS Scott Allen, Director of Community Development, stated that before the Commission is a request to change the zoning from “T4” (General Urban) to “T5” (Urban Center). The property is located on the Southwest corner of SW 8th Street and West Main Street. It is currently one lot that use to be the former US Bank drive thru property. The applicant proposes to build a chiropractic health center on this property. The 2006 Downtown Master Plan identifies this area as the “Main Street Approach”. The Plan states “as the properties redevelop, they should do so in primarily a residential manner, but could have designs that could transition to other uses.” The approval of the Downtown Development Code (DDC) in 2007 identified this property as suitable for live/work type buildings on the Downtown Zoning Map Overlay (pg. 46 attached). The applicant is proposing to build a “Type IV: Small Commercial Building” as identified in the DDC on page 13 (attached). (This type of building is not allowed in the T4 zone, and only with a Conditional Use Permit in the T5 zone.) The project was heard by the (DRB) “Downtown Review Board” on Wednesday, December 3, 2014 and the project was recommend for denial with a 5-0 vote. The Planning Commission’s vote this evening will be a recommendation to the City Council on Monday, December 15, 2014. If the rezoning would be approved the applicant would need to go through the Conditional Use and Site Plan process. Staff is unable to recommend approval due to the stark contradiction to the Downtown Master Plan. QUESTIONS Planning Commissioner Jason Sanders asked if the DRB heard the presentation that is being presented tonight. Mr. Allen stated no, they only read the staff report. Planning Commissioner Ken Billups asked if the DRB provided any reasoning as to why they denied the plan. Mr. Allen stated that their vote was considered for denial because the proposal didn’t coincide with the Downtown Master Plan. Planning Commissioner Travis Graham wanted to clarify that the denial was because of the building style not the building use. Scott Allen stated yes that is the case. If it’s more a live/work two story office retail mix there wouldn’t be an issue. P.C. Minutes – 12.08.2014 Page 2 of 5 kf NOT APPROVED APPLICANT Richard Hu, HJM Architects 7520 Washington Street Kansas City, MO 64114 Mr. Hu stated that it has been some time since the Downtown Master Plan was created and times change. Dr. Goldsworthy owns the Blue Springs Chiropractic Health Center that has been in business and located on 12th and Main for over 40 years. Mr. Hu stated that the proposed project will be for a 6,000 square foot medical center / sports medicine office. Since Dr. Goldsworhty is wanting to relocate, this development will free up to 2,000 square feet along Main Street. Mr. Hu displayed two drawings of the actual building layout. Parking will be in the rear so that the building will be pushed up toward Main Street so there is a dense main street feeling. The applicant will keep the street parking as well. There will be a drop off area with a canopy in the back. There will be a front door off of Main Street, with a lobby that connects Main Street to the back parking lot. All material will be brick, stone and glass and will create a taller street front off of Main Street. QUESTIONS None. WITNESSES IN FAVOR Clay Swope P.O. Box 506 Blue Springs, MO Mr. Swope stated that most of the people that will visit this clinic is for folks that are on crutches, wheel chairs etc. Mr. Swope stated that he was also a part of the attendance for the Downtown Master Plan and stated that nothing has been produced in 7 – 8 years from this plan. Frances Hose 1400 NW Cedar Court Grain Valley, MO Ms. Hose is the president of the Historical Society and a member of the Historic Preservation Commission. Ms. Hose stated that she was also a part of the Downtown Master Plan, she owned a home and Tea Room on Main Street. Ms. Hose stated that this lot has been vacant for many years. Ms. Hose feels that it would enhance the downtown area. Aston Goldsworthy 8809 SW 1st First Street Lee’s Summit, MO Mr. Goldsworthy stated that they see around 14,000 patients each year at the current site. They also bring 25,000 people from the metro area. They have a good patient base and want to stay in Blue Springs. Goldie “Suzie” Gafeller 708 SW 17th Street Blue Springs, MO Ms. Gafeller stated that there is a need for this chiropractic center and likes the fact that folks can be treated locally instead of traveling to Kansas for care. P.C. Minutes – 12.08.2014 Page 3 of 5 kf NOT APPROVED Bob Watson 712 Main Street Blue Springs, MO Mr. Watson has an insurance business directly across the street from this proposed business.

The proposed lots are generally located north of SE Crimson Court, east of SE Monterrey Drive, north of SE Shamrock Lane, and west of SE Taylor Road. A few minor changes have been made to the Final Plat that deviate from the approved Preliminary Plat, including the addition of Tract S for storm water detention. Because of this addition, the square footage of the lots adjacent to the detention area were reduced, but still meet all minimum requirements. PREVIOUS ACTIONS/APPROVALS:  On July 17, 2006 the Planning Commission recommended approval of an annexation request (A-2-2006), this included the area encompassing the proposed Parkway Estates subdivision. The City Council approved the Annexation on September 6, 2006.  The Parkway Estates Preliminary Plat (06-06-18) was approved by the Planning Commission on July 24, 2006.  The Planning Commission recommended approval of the Rezoning (R-9-2006) to SF-7 (Single-Family Residential) on July 24, 2006. The City Council approved the Rezoning request on September 6, 2006.  On July 24, 2006, the Planning Commission also recommended approval of the Parkway Estates PR-O Concept Plant (PRO-1-2006). The City Council also approved PR-O Concept Plan on September 6, 2006.  The Parkway Estates PR-O Final Plan (06-12-11) was approved by the Planning Commission on January 22, 2007.  The Planning Commission approved an Amended Preliminary Plat (PP-8-08- 1837) on August 25, 2008.  The Planning Commission approved an Amended Preliminary Plat (PP-7-10- 2681) for Lots 1-75, 382 & 383, Tracts C & H-1 on September 27, 2010. FUTURE APPLICATIONS/REVIEWS ANTICIPATED OR REQUIRED: Final Plat approval is required for future phases within the Parkway Estates PR-O that have yet to be developed.

Page 3 of 6  Project: Parkway Estates PR-O 21st Plan Case Number: PF-12-14-4699 FINAL PLAT Lot Layout/ Requirements: The lot requirements for the “SF-7/PR-O” zoning district have been met with some minor changes from the Preliminary Plat. Public Utilities: Public utilities have been completed to date including sanitary sewer, storm sewer and water for only those lots currently being platted. Stormwater Management: A detention area (Tract S) for the plat has been provided on the eastern edge of the area currently being platted. Easements: All easements have been provided as required by City codes and as requested by the City of Blue Springs. Association Agreement: The applicant has provided a revised copy of the Conditions, Covenants and Restrictions for the Parkway Estates PR-O subdivision. They must be recorded with the Final Plat. Sidewalks: Per UDC Section 406.030. B. a four (4) foot sidewalk is required on one side of all local streets, with the exception that sidewalks are not required on the radius of turnarounds at the end of cul-de-sacs or on cul-de-sacs less than 200 feet in length. As noted in the Condition No. 6 of the Preliminary Plat approval: “The sidewalk along one side of Monterrey Drive and along one side of each cul-de-sac shall be installed, or a financial guarantee established with the City, prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for each lot where sidewalks are required.” Street Improvements: The street improvements for SE Amber Court, SE Auburn Court, and SE Scarlet Court have been completed. Streetscape, Common/Open Space & Landscaping: A signed and sealed landscape plan was submitted and approved with the original PR-O Final Plat (06-12-11) identifying the required buffer areas, required plant units, landscape buffers and placement of required street trees. The typical lot landscaping was also included requiring forty-five (45) plant units to be installed on any single-family lot. The previously approved landscape plan has not been changed with the proposed plat application. A common area for detention (Tract S) has been completed. Page 4 of 6  Project: Parkway Estates PR-O 21st Plan Case Number: PF-12-14-4699 Classification: Parkway Estates PR-O Lots 28 through 63 located on the east side of Monterrey Drive are classified as Class “E,” requiring a minimum of 1,800 square foot homes. This is consistent with the previously approved PR-O Final Plat and Preliminary Plat. ACTION BY PLANNING COMMISSION: The Commission is being asked to provide a recommendation on the Final Plat. The plat is reviewed at this time to determine if it conforms to the requirements of the City’s development codes; and there are appropriate assurances that the proposed improvements will be completed, should the developer fail to perform. The Planning Commission may recommend approval, modify approval or, if the plat does not meet the requirements of the City, recommend denial. Approval of the Final Plat by the City constitutes an acceptance of the easements shown on the plat. Endorsement of the Final Plat by the City confers on the owner the right to record the plat, and to use the plat as an instrument to transfer lot ownership. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Final Plat application subject to the following conditions: 1. Approval by the Planning Commission based on the representations of any drawings presented as part of this application does not waive any requirements or development standard contained in the UDC. 2. All remaining sidewalk improvements along local streets must be installed prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy for each lot where sidewalks are required. 3. Prior to building permits being issued, the Final Plat and Association Agreement shall be recorded with Jackson County and all required documents must be returned to the Community Development Department once the plat has been recorded. 4. As-Built Drawings (also known as Record Drawings) marked up to reflect changes made during the construction process shall be prepared and submitted to the Public Works Department in both electronic and hard copy version. 5. The applicant shall provide a performance and maintenance bond for any incomplete public infrastructure. Page 5 of 6  Project: Parkway Estates PR-O 21st Plan Case Number: PF-12-14-4699 6. A final survey of the detention basin (Tract S) is required to verify as built constructed features match storm drainage plan requirements.
