Evan Chiarelli, Division Manager of Local Initiatives at the Housing and Community Development Department, presented this item to the Committee.
The housing project in question is about 75% complete. The Hispanic Economic Development Corporation hopes to complete this project by the first quarter of next year. Construction cost increases necessitated the HEDC to request additional funding.
The Committee moved to recommend approval of this item. The City Council later moved to approve this item at the meeting Thursday.
Ordinance 250870 requested acceptance of the recommendation of the Housing Trust Fund Advisory Board for additional funding in the amount of $1,000,000.00 to the Jazz Hill Homes project developed by Flaherty & Collins Development, LLC, located on the 900 and 1000 blocks of Paseo Boulevard in the Paseo West neighborhood.

The aforementioned project seeks to preserve 181 units of affordable housing and ten historic colonnade buildings in the 1000 block of Paseo. Nine buildings are complete, but the tenth has incurred unforeseen construction costs.
The Committee moved to recommend approval of this item.
At the City Council, Councilman O’Neill raised concerns over the developers choice of a subcontractor, who had been alleged to have been stealing wages from workers. There was a discussion over what the City’s action ought to be concerning this. Councilman Duncan stated that he would like to see in writing, from the developer, a statement about how they planned to proceed and how they might remedy that choice of subcontractor.
The City Council ultimately moved to approve this item.
Resolution 250881 requested to direct the City Manager to enter into negotiations with Neighborhood Legal Support of Kansas City (NLS) to establish a pilot program providing
legal services to neighborhoods to identify dangerous structures in the City that
can be adequately repaired, spare such properties from demolition and other City
abatement costs and convert the same to quality, affordable housing. Gregg Lombardi, the Executive Director of Neighborhood Legal Support, presented this item to the Committee.
Mr. Lombardi explained that his team is proposing a project to take legal action to procure fifteen properties that are on the city’s demolition list, save them, and convert them into quality affordable housing. During a survey of houses slated for demolition with Northeast Neighborhoods, NLS discovered that 30% of the homes did not need to be demolished.
This project would save the City money they would otherwise spend in demolition costs, estimated at about $210,000.
The Committee moved to recommend approval of this item. The City Council later moved to approve this item at the meeting Thursday.
Resolution 250887 requested to direct the City Manager to review and recommend updates to Chapter 88, the Zoning and Development Code of Kansas City, Missouri in order

The Committee moved to continue this item ahead of the meeting Tuesday.
Ordinance 250843 requested to rezone the site located at the southeast corner of
Northeast 108th Street and Northeast Shoal Creek Parkway near the New Mark neighborhood in the Northland from District R-7.5 to District R-80 to allow the property owner to seek a special use permit to construct an athletic field. Staff Planner Matthew Barnes and T.J. Holman, counsel for the applicant, presented this item to the Committee.
This case was brought before the City Plan Commission on September 3rd as CD-CPC-2025-00095 and was covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
The applicant was seeking a rezoning to allow for the construction of an athletic field on the site for personal use. A rezoning request was necessary for this case because while the applicant plans to build a house on the site, he has not yet submitted permits for that structure, and would be building the field first. Under zoning regulations, this field would be counted as the primary structure without the house first being there, and would not be allowed under R-7.5.
The Committee moved to recommend approval of this item. The City Council later moved to approve this item at the meeting Thursday.
Ordinance 250850 requested to amend Ordinance No. 241051 conditionally approving the application of Historic Northeast Lofts, LLC, for a Brownfields loan to remediate Buildings Nos. 1 and 2 of the former Hardesty Federal Complex at 607 Hardesty Ave in the Lykins and Sheffield neighborhoods by repealing and replacing Sections 1 and 3 of the ordinance.
The Committee moved to continue this item ahead of the meeting Tuesday.
Resolution 250857 and Ordinance 250834 requested, respectively, to approve an amendment to the Gashland/Nashua Area Plan and a rezoning for the site located at the northwest corner of N.E. Barry Road and N. Prospect Avenue in the Bridgepointe neighborhood in the Northland, changing the recommended land use from residential low density to residential high density and rezoning from Districts R-80 and R-0.5 to District R-1.5 for the Bungalows at Maple Woods residential development. Staff Planner Genevieve Kohn-Smith and Patricia Jensen, a representative for the applicant, presented this item to the Committee.
These cases were brought before the City Plan Commission on August 20th as CD-CPC-2025-00081 and CD-CPC-2025-00082 and were covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
The aforementioned development would include 153 housing units in 127 buildings. These would be cottage-style developments including single-family and duplex homes.
The Committee moved to recommend approval of this item. The City Council later moved to approve this item at the meeting Thursday.
Ordinance 250858 requested to rezone the site located at 8625 Troost Avenue B in the Marlborough neighborhood from District R-2.5 to District B1-1 to allow a mesh security fence with barbed wire to be installed around a utility substation at the site.
This case was brought before the City Plan Commission as CD-CPC-2025-00091 on August 20th and was covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
The Committee moved to continue this item ahead of the meeting Tuesday.
Ordinance 250859 and Resolution 250860 requested, respectively, to rezone and to approve an amendment to the Truman Plaza Area Plan for the site located at 4250 St. John Avenue in the Indian Mound neighborhood, changing fromZoning District R-2.5 to District B3-1 and the recommended land use from residential urban low density to mixed-use neighborhood. to allow the property owner to apply for a special use permit for a motor vehicle repair facility at the site. Staff Planner Stephanie Saldari along with Choudhry Sheeraz, on behalf of property owners Connie and Craig Delong, presented this item to the Committee.
These cases were brought before the City Plan Commission as CD-CPC-2025-00118 and CD-CPC-2025-00119 on September 3rd and were covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
The subject site had been in operation as a motor vehicle repair and storage facility for some time. This use is not permitted under the current zoning, R-2.5 and the site is not designated as legal-nonconforming, which means the use preceded the zoning designation. In the 1980’s the site was granted a certificate of legal non-conformance (CLN) which permitted a gas station on the site. Some time after, the site was converted to a repair shop without proper permitting, and has been used as such for about the last thirty years. Because of the long-standing use and the services provided by the shop, the neighborhood had provided a letter of support for the applicant team’s proposed rezoning.
In order to permit the repair shop, the applicant team was seeking to rezone the site to B3-1 (commercial) and to amend the associated Area Plan to recommend neighborhood mixed-use instead of residential urban low density.
The Committee moved to recommend approval of these items. The City Council later moved to approve these items at the meeting Thursday.
Ordinance 250861 requested to approve the petition to establish the Tiffany Frolics Community Improvement District, located between Barry Road to the north, N.W. Prairie View Road to the east, N.W. 81st Street to the south (extended), and N. Berkley Avenue (extended) and N.W. Milrey Drive (extended) to the west, in the Northland.
The Committee moved to continue this item ahead of the meeting Tuesday.
Ordinance 250865 requested to approve the petition to establish the Maple Park Community Improvement District, bounded by Northeast 50th Street to the north, North Randolph Road to the east, Northeast 48th Street to the south and North Winchester Avenue to the west in the Maple Park neighborhood of the Northland. Kurt Peterson, a representative for the applicant, Star Development, presented this item to the Committee.
The subject site is a greenfield to be built out as commercial and warehouse distribution. Mr. Peterson explained that this development would be built in an effort to address lack of grocery and other food options in the area. Establishing this site as a Community Improvement District would help Star Development offset development costs, facilitating the project. Ginny Walters, president of the Maple Park Neighborhood Association, gave testimony in support of this project.
The Committee moved to recommend approval of this item. The City Council later moved to approve this item at the meeting Thursday.
Ordinance 250868 requested to approve a major amendment to a previously approved development plan for the the Zona Rosa commercial site, located west of I-29 and north of NW Barry Road in the Northland to allow additional permitted uses in for the site, which is zoned B3-3/R-2.5, R-1.5, and R-6. Staff Planner Genevieve Kohn-Smith and ___, a representative for the applicant, presented this item to the Committee.
This case was brought before the City Plan Commission as CD-CPC-2025-00108 on September 17th and was covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
The permitted uses for much of Kansas City’s zoning has been updated since Zona Rosa was developed under a development plan. This plan, while it referenced the above zoning districts, cemented the approved uses to what had been allowed at that time. The applicants today were seeking to update those approved uses to better reflect present zoning.
The Committee moved to recommend approval of this item. The City Council later moved to approve this item at the meeting Thursday.
Ordinance 250871 requested to rezone the area located at West 35th Street to the
north, Pennsylvania Avenue to the east, Valentine Road to the south, and Summit
Street to the west (in the Valentine neighborhood) to include an HO (historic) overlay zone in order to designate the area as a local Historic District on the Kansas City Register of Historic Places. Current zoning for the area is R-1.5, R-5, R-6, and UR.
This case was brought before the City Plan Commission as CD-CPC-2025-00100 on August 20th and was covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
The Committee moved to hold this item until October 21st, ahead of Tuesday’s meeting.
Ordinance 250872 requested to rezone an area of about 0.2 acres located 200 feet south of the intersection of West 39th Terrace and Broadway Boulevard in the Westport neighborhood from District UR to District B3-2.
This case was brought before the City Plan Commission as CD-CPC-2025-00113 on September 3rd and was covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
The Committee moved to continue this item ahead of the meeting Tuesday.
Ordinance 250873 requested to rezone an area of about 0.15 acres located 150 feet north of the intersection of West 36th Street and Baltimore Avenue in the Old Hyde Park neighborhood from District R-6 to District R-1.5 to allow for a multi-unit house. Staff Planner Justin Smith presented this item to the Committee.
This case was brought before the City Plan Commission as CD-CPC-2025-00109 on September 3rd and was covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
The site contains a house that caught fire and needs major interior repairs. Before the fire, this home had been converted to a triplex. Along with making repairs, the applicant was seeking approval to allow the property to remain a triplex, which required a change of zoning, as R-6 zoning only allows for duplexes on corner lots.
The Committee moved to recommend approval of this item. The City Council later moved to approve this item at the meeting Thursday.
Ordinance 250874 requested to vacate approximately 1,168 square feet of public right-of-way in Zoning District DX-15 located at the northwest corner of Baltimore Avenue and West 20th Street in the Crossroads neighborhood.
This case was brought before the City Plan Commission as CD-ROW-2025-00021 on September 3rd and was covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
The Committee moved to continue this item ahead of the meeting Tuesday.
Ordinance 250875 requested approval of a major amendment to a previously approved development plan, zoned B3-2, for the area abutting 150 Highway on the west, W. 135th Street on the north and W. 138th Terrace on the south in the Martin City area to allow for additional permitted uses.
This case was brought before the City Plan Commission as CD-CPC-2025-00120 on September 3rd and was covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
The Committee moved to continue this item ahead of the meeting Tuesday.
Ordinance 250876 requested to amend Chapter 88, the Zoning and Development Code, by repealing and replacing Subsection 88-445-06, Residential Signs, with a new section of like number and subject matter for the purposes of allowing digital signs for Institutional and Office Uses in residential districts and adopting new standards for such signs. Staff Planner Sara Copeland presented this item to the Committee.
This case was brought before the City Plan Commission as CD-CPC-2025-00128 on August 20th and was covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
Ms. Copeland explained that this item was advanced by Councilman Willett in the interest of allowing certain institutional and office uses in residential districts to maintain digital signs. This had followed at least one case in which a school building had been required to obtain special permission from the City to construct and operate a digital sign.
Several provisions in the ordinance addressed types of locations digital signs would be permitted to be constructed in, permitted size, colors, brightness, and allowed times they may be illuminated.
Several members of neighborhood associations from various places across the City gave public testimony in opposition to this ordinance. One concern referred to the allowance of digital signs on major arterials. Legal definitions, as well as street classifications, can change. If a street in a residential zone is rebuilt to accommodate more traffic, it may be reclassified as a major arterial, therefore allowing digital signs, which may invite the transformation of the area from primarily residential to commercial.
Also of concern was the potential risk to health and public safety with those signs acting as a distraction or reducing visibility for drivers. One neighbor testified that these signs may also not be necessary, as several schools already inform parents and students through flyers, emails, etc. Retrofitting existing analog signage, they argued, would be a misuse of funds.
The Committee moved to continue this case.
Ordinance 250877 and Resolution 250878 requested, respectively, to rezone the area and to approve an amendment to the Martin City Area Plan for the site located at the northwest corner of East 135th Street and Oak Street in Martin City, changing from Zoning District B2-2 to District MPD, changing the recommended land use on the northern portion of the site from mixed use community to commercial, and approving a related development plan to allow for commercial and storage development.
These cases were brought before the City Plan Commission as CD-CPC-2025-00124 and CD-CPC-2025-00140 on September 19th and were covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
The Committee moved to continue these items ahead of the meeting Tuesday.
Ordinance 250794 requested approval of the plat of KCI Logistics Parks Third Plat, on approximately 430 acres located at the southwest corner of North Winan Road and Highway 92 in the Northland, creating two lots for the purpose of industrial development. Staff Planner Matthew Barnes presented this item to the Committee.
This case was brought before the City Plan Commission as CLD-FnPlat-2025-00025 on August 20th and was covered in that week’s edition of the blog.
This item concerned a minor textual edit to the record; updating the title to read “one lot, one tract,” instead of “two lots”.
The Committee moved to recommend approval of this item. The City Council later moved to approve this item at the meeting Thursday.
Ordinance 250910 was sponsored by Councilwoman Patterson-Hazley to designate a section of Euclid Ave between 11th and 12th streets as Sarah Rector Way. The Rector Mansion is at 2000 E 12th St in the Forgotten Homes neighborhood. Rector was at one point in her life the richest Black woman in America. Naming this stretch of road would honor her civic and philanthropic legacy in Kansas City.
Sarah Campbell, the granddaughter of Sarah Rector, gave public testimony in support of this honorary naming. Councilwoman Patterson-Hazley also explained that this effort was expedited to be completed ahead of a movie premier honoring Sarah Rector’s life. In addition to the honorary road naming, she explained that the goal is to have the Rector Mansion placed on the African American Heritage Trail and to place an historic marker on the property with information about the site’s history.
The City Council moved to approve this ordinance.
City Plan Commission
Wednesday, October 15th at 9am
The City Plan Commission was attended this week by Chairman Coby Crowl and Commissioners Sean Arkin, Forestine Beasley, Tyler Enders, Todd Forbes, Luis Padilla.
CD-CPC-2025-00142 requested approval of a Project Plan in an R-1.5 Zoning District for the site located at the southeast corner of Northeast Barry Road and North Cleveland Avenue in the Northland, allowing for the landscaping of Private Open Space Tracts for a development to be known as Monarch Townhomes.
This case was on the Commission’s consent agenda and was recommended for approval with little deliberation.
CD-CPC-2025-00138 requested approval of a project plan for 283 residential units
on about 56 acres and located at the southwest corner of N Line Creek Parkway and NW Old Stagecoach Road in the Northland to be known as Hill Creek Commons.
This case was on the Commission’s consent agenda and was recommended for approval with little deliberation.
CLD-FnPlat-2025-00022 requested approval of a Final Plat in an MPD zoning district on about 12 acres and generally located at the northeast corner of Woodland Avenue and East 18th Street in the Parade Park neighborhood, creating 4 lots for a multi-family development.
This case was on the Commission’s consent agenda and was recommended for approval with little deliberation.
CD-CPC-2025-00097 – requested approval of an MPD final plan for Woodhaven Amenity Tract in an MPD zoning district located at the northeast corner of N Robinhood Ave and
NW 97th St in the Northland.
This case was on the Commission’s consent agenda and was recommended for approval with little deliberation.
CD-CPC-2025-00139 requested approval of a Project Plan in an R-5 zoning district on about 12.5 acres and located at the southeast corner of Northwest Barry Road and North Childress Avenue in the Northland, allowing for the landscaping of Private Open Space Tracts for a development to be known as Weatherby Meadows.
This case was on the Commission’s consent agenda and was recommended for approval with little deliberation.
CD-CPC-2025-00146 requested approval of a rezoning from District R-80 to District R-7.5 for the site located about 150 feet north of the intersection of North Platte Purchase Road and Northwest 78th Street (7825 N Platte Purchase Dr) in the Northland. Staff Planner Justin Smith and the applicant, Tobin Kennedy, presented this item to the Commission.
An existing home is on the subject site, fronting N Platte Purchase Dr. The applicant was seeking to subdivide the lot, as it spanned the block from both Platte Purchase Dr in the front to N Liberty St in the rear. Subdividing this lot would allow for the construction of a new home that would front N Liberty St. In order to achieve this, the zoning for the site needed to be changed.
The Commission moved to recommend approval of this item.
CD-CPC-2025-00130 and CD-CPC-2025-00129 requested approval of an amendment to the KCIA Area Plan and approval to rezone a site of about 107 acres known as known as The Retreat at Woodhaven and located at the southwest corner of NW 100th Street and N Platte Purchase Drive in the Northland. The requested area plan amendment would change the recommended future land use for the site from Commercial, Residential Low Density, Open Space/Buffer, and Mixed Use Community to Residential Medium Density. The requested rezoning would change the site from districts B3-3, R-7.5, and MPD to only district MPD. Staff Planner Genevieve Kohn-Smith and Patricia Jensen – Rouse Frets White Goss Gentile Rhodes, P.C., a representative for the applicant, presented these items to the Commission.
The applicants were seeking these items in order to construct a new residential subdivision in a rural context area, totalling 676 dwelling units across a variety of building types (including duplex, town home, rowhouse, and cottage style), both for rent and for sale.
Ms. Jensen expressed the concern of the applicants with several of Staff’s conditions on approval, mainly related to requiring the developer to construct a waterline extension and providing private stormwater easements.
The Commission moved to recommend approval of these items with some modifications to the conditions and corrections therein.
CD-SUP-2025-00033 requested approval of a Special Use Permit, within a R-0.5 zoning district, in order to construct a parking garage on the site located at 414 E 22nd St in the Crossroads and Hospital Hill neighborhoods. Staff Planner Ahnna Nanoski and Paul Osborne – McClure, a representative for the applicant, presented this item to the Commission.
This case follows a separate demolition review brought before the Historic Preservation Commission as CH-DM-2025-00070. This review covered the demolition of a facilities building on the site. Built in the 1930’s, it was a product of Kansas City’s first Ten-Year Plan for public improvements. It housed utilities such as central heating, laundry, incinerator, and an ambulance garage for the Kansas City General Hospital. While demolition was held for 45 days, it was ultimately permitted to proceed, allowing for the construction of the new parking garage.
The proposed parking garage would serve hospital staff for the Hospital Hill campus. Per 88-420-13-A, required parking spaces must be located on the same lot of the use to be served by the parking. Accessory parking areas require the same or a more intensive zoning classification than that required for the most intensive of the uses by the accessory parking area, unless approved as a special use permit. Ms. Nanoski explained that the criteria for approval of a special use permit in this case includes things such as whether the plans are compatible with the surrounding area’s scale and design, and whether or not it will have an adverse impact on pedestrian safety and comfort.
The Commission moved to recommend approval of this item.
CD-SUP-2025-00018 requested approval of a Special Use Permit in an R-6 zoning district for the site located at 4843 Woodland Ave in the Blue Hills neighborhood to allow for Neighborhood Serving Retail in an existing building. Staff Planner Matthew Barnes and Robert Pendleton, a representative for the applicant, presented this item to the Commission.
The site contains an existing corner store and small parking lot, which the applicant plans to repave. The building is currently vacant and boarded up. The applicant will also add small planters along the sidewalk of the site, and plans to reopen the vacant structure, repairing walls, windows, and doors.
A list of permitted uses for Neighborhood Serving Retail was also provided by Mr. Barnes. This list excludes liquor stores, taverns and nightclubs, and tobacco and vape stores.
The Commission moved to recommend approval of this item.
CD-CPC-2025-00131 and CD-SUP-2025-00031 requested approval of a rezoning and of a special use permit for the site located at the northeast corner of Broadway Boulevard and West 40th Street in the Westport neighborhood. The site is currently zoned UR (Urban Redevelopment) and the applicant was seeking to change the designation to B3-2 as well as receive approval, through the special use permit, to operate an entertainment venue (500+ capacity) on the site known as Warehouse on Broadway. Staff Planner Justin Smith and Martin Arling – Kaw Valley Engineering, Inc., a representative for the applicant, presented these items to the Commission.
The subject site is within the boundaries of an existing UR plan to build a hotel, which has since lapsed; the hotel never being built. The UR plans allows for the building on the site to be used for restaurant and retail and requires 31 parking spaces. Previously, this site was a restaurant.
Today, the site is operating as a restaurant with some entertainment onsite. However, in March of this year, a code violation was issued to the property owners for operating as an entertainment venue with a capacity of 500+, which was not allowed under current zoning. Staff gave applicants the options to make a major amendment to the existing UR plan or to rezone the site back to base zoning, in this case B3-2, and obtain a special use permit to operate as an entertainment venue.
Staff also expressed that while there were some concerns over the impacts of large crowds for events, these could be mitigated. Parking operations were already being undertaken by the property owners, and the implementation of the KC Streetcar was also expected to alleviate some parking concerns. Trash was also an issue brought up by the Commission, and it was suggested the owners work with Midtown KC Now to address this.
Ultimately, the Commission moved to recommend approval of the rezoning request and approve the special use permit, and added the condition that the applicants work with Midtown KC Now or other CIDs in the area to mitigate the impacts of large crowds related to issues such as parking, noise, and trash.
CD-MISC-2025-00003 was a project update concerning an amendment to the criteria for the City’s Area Plans, replacing the present classification system of future land uses with Place Types instead. Lead Planner Jennifer Reinhardt and Staff Planner Cindy Trivisonno presented this progress report to the Commission.
Place types are a new, more flexible framework of land use planning that other cities are beginning to adopt, such as Charlotte, NC and Denver, CO. These include flexible categories that define the character of an existing area, including its mix of land uses, development form, and design. They illustrate the desired future development patterns in different parts of a city, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach.
They employ several different criteria, including development form, community context, and future land uses. Staff provided a table (below) to show the various place types they are proposing, and their definitions. Note: this table is a draft.
These place types largely recommend scale and intensity as opposed to land uses alone.
Staff is currently updating the Truman Plaza and KCIA Area Plans, and are starting to implement this style of classification in those documents. Those documents are expected to be completed by winter of 2025. In spring of 2026, Staff will make updates to the KC Spirit Playbook Comprehensive Plan for its Design Guidelines. Also in 2026, staff will be updating the Briarcliff/Winwood and the Little Blue Valley Area Plans.
CD-CPC-2025-00149 requested approval of a Major Amendment to an existing Master Planned Development (MPD) for the site known as Municipal Farms on about 441 acres located at the southwest corner of Eastern Avenue and Raytown Road in the Eastwood Hills neighborhood, allowing for expanded uses, including Non-Accessory Parking.
The Commission moved to continue this case without fee to November 5th, ahead of the meeting Wednesday.
