City committees and commissions did not meet for the week of June 29, 2020-July 3, 2020 due to Independence Day.
July 6-10
City Plan Commission
- CASE # CD-SUP-2020-00021 – 4400 Campbell St. The Plan Commission unanimously rejects the application for a Special Use Permit for a Short-Term Rental use up to 16 guests and possibly for events.
- This seven-bedroom home, located in Hyde Park at the corner of Campbell and 44th Street, is being utilized as an Airbnb. The applicant stated that there is a great need for an Airbnb of this size, as it’s difficult if not impossible to find large houses like this for short-term rental in Kansas City. Neighbors testified that this house regularly has more than eight guests and that the house is often noisy.
- City code dictates that an Airbnb must be registered with the city and that no more than eight guests may stay at the rental. The special use permit sought to increase the number of guests legally permitted to stay at the property.
- CASE # CD-CPC-2019-00209 Continued until July 21.
- A request to approve a Development Plan for a gas station, convenience store, and multi-tenant retail buildings on about 1 acre located at 2303 Cleveland Ave or generally located at the southeast corner of Cleveland Ave and E 23rd St.
- Located within the East 23rd Street PAC neighborhood association
