The applicant is requesting to rezone the property to GB to accommodate a proposed bar/tavern (Wind Shift Brewery) in the former office space. A rezoning to GB will accommodate both the new bar/tavern land use, as well as keep the vehicle repair, limited land use in compliance with the Unified Development Code. Any existing non-conformities on the site are permitted to remain, as the proposed change of use is less than 25% of the total building area (approx %). PREVIOUS ACTIONS/APPROVALS: On September 11, 1990, the Board of Alderman approved the Final Plat of Duncan Plaza, 1 st Plat, Lots 1 & 2 (Ordinance No. 1980). On November 19, 1990, the Board of Alderman approved the Final Plat of A Replat of Duncan Plaza, 1 st Plat, Lots 1 & 2 (Ordinance No. 2001).

The intent of the Future Land Use Policy Map is not to predetermine land uses or zoning on a specific parcel or at specific locations. Together with other elements of the Comprehensive Plan, the Future Land Use Policy Map should be used to guide Page 3 of 6

42 Project: Wind Shift Brewery Case: RZ the relationships and physical improvements needed to create the types of places that are part of Blue Springs long-range vision. The Future Land Use Policy Map designates this property as Corridor Reinvestment area. Corridor Reinvestment areas are along primary corridors in Blue Springs, outside of Neighborhood Centers, Business Hubs, or Distinct Destinations that require strategic investments to improve both the immediate area as well as the relationship to other potential places elsewhere in the corridors. Priority land uses in these areas include employment or residential uses that can support the other places, or commercial uses that require format, location, or access needs that are not compatible with more compact or mixed-use places. According to the 2014 Comprehensive Plan, Specific Plans are detailed, areaspecific perspectives of the patterns and coordination of the built and natural environment, and how these details contribute to unique places in Blue Springs. These plans offer a more refined and location-specific application of the Policies, Goals, and Targets of the General Plan to a particular context. The N1 Area s Specific Plan designates this property as a Neighborhood Retail area. Neighborhood Retail is defined as Areas for businesses primarily engaged in selling merchandise to general consumers where the exchange occurs at the location and where lots or buildings are designed for interaction with customers on the premises. Uses are primarily small-scale to increase the concentration and diversity of uses accessible to nearby neighborhoods, although one or two anchor tenants may be incorporated into walkable patterns. Secondary service, employment or residential uses may be incorporated, particularly on upper stories of buildings. Zoning: The intent of the GB zoning district is defined in Section , as follows: REVIEW CRITERIA: The GB, General Business District is intended to accommodate general trades and commercial services at specific points on arterials outside central or neighborhood business districts. The GB District is particularly appropriate adjoining a major highway. Such an area draws highway uses such as restaurants, service stations, and motels, which are not totally compatible with shopping center developments but which may be grouped together advantageously as highway service centers. Section references the land uses and building types permitted in the GB district (see previous Tables). Additionally, Section defines specific performance and design standards. In reviewing any application for an amendment to the Official Zoning Map (zoning change), the Planning Commission and City Council shall review the proposed amendment considering the Page 4 of 6

43 Project: Wind Shift Brewery Case: RZ Comprehensive Plan, the general requirements of the Unified Development Code, and the following considerations: 1. The application is in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and any official plan of program developed under the guidance of the Comprehensive Plan, and in particular the relationship of land uses within the proposed district and the relationship with uses existing or anticipated in surrounding districts. STAFF RESPONSE: The Future Land Use Policy Map designates this property as both Corridor Reinvestment and Neighborhood Retail. Corridor Reinvestment areas are along primary corridors outside of Neighborhood Centers and are generally reserved for development types that are not compatible with more compact or mixed-use places. Neighborhood Retail areas are generally reserved for smaller-format businesses that serve surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed zoning will allow the existing vehicle repair, limited business to remain, and accommodate the bar/tavern use, which fits well within the Neighborhood Retail designation of the Comprehensive Plan. Properties to the south and west along NW Jefferson Street and NW Woods Chapel Road have the same Future Land Use Policy Map designations and GB (General Business) zoning. 2. The application furthers the intent of the proposed zoning district and supports that of any abutting zoning districts. STAFF RESPONSE: The proposed rezoning matches adjacent zoning districts along NW Jefferson Street and NW Woods Chapel Road. The subject property is the only property currently zoned LI (Light Industrial) along NW Jefferson Street within 1,000-ft. of the NW Woods Chapel Road intersection (all other properties are zoned GB or RC ). Properties to the north and east are zoned LI (Light Industrial) but are accessed from NW Duncan Road, creating a small industrial park area which is reliant on quick access, but less visibility, to Interstate The precedents that might result from approval or denial of the application, and the possible effects of such precedents on the character of the area, and in particular the building form, site design, and other development patterns and urban design aspects that accompany precedents for the proposed district. STAFF RESPONSE: The requested GB zoning district is appropriate for the subject property and is more closely aligned with the Comprehensive Plan designations for the area than the current LI zoning designation. 4. Compliance of any proposed development with the requirements of the UDC. STAFF RESPONSE: The requested rezoning will allow a bar/tavern land use to operate out of a small portion of the building (approx. 1,000-sf., or 16.15% of the total building area). Since the change in use is less than 25% of the total building area the site may maintain any legal non-conformities until further changes in use or additions occur. The only development requirements that must be accommodated are parking for the new use. The applicant has submitted details on the parking requirements for both the existing vehicle repair, limited use and the bar/tavern use, as well as a count of existing parking spaces. Based on the analysis submitted, the site has 26 existing parking spaces and is required 25 spaces. Page 5 of 6

44 Project: Wind Shift Brewery Case: RZ The ability of the City or other government agencies to provide any services, facilities or programs that might be required if the application were approved. STAFF RESPONSE: The requested rezoning covers /- which is not expected to create a significant increase in demand for services, facilities, or other programs. The total building square footage is not being increased as part of the proposed development. 6. The effect of approval on the condition or value of property in the City or in the vicinity, including the likelihood of surrounding areas to be developed in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. STAFF RESPONSE: Staff believes approval of this rezoning will not reduce property values of adjacent properties or the ability to be developed in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan. 7. The requested zoning change is justified by a change in conditions since the existing zoning was designated or by an error in the current designation. STAFF RESPONSE: The property has been zoned LI (Light Industrial) since at least Street improvements at NW Woods Chapel Road and NW Jefferson Street over the past decade and the development of residential and office further to the east makes the property more suitable to a commercial zoning district. 8. The consistency of the application with other adopted policies of the City. STAFF RESPONSE: Staff believes this proposal is consistent with other adopted City policies. 9. The recommendations of professional staff. STAFF RESPONSE: Staff recommends approval of this rezoning proposal. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of this Rezoning request. Page 6 of 6

Page 2 of 5

104 Project: The Estates at Chapman Farms 3 rd Plat Case: PF FINAL PLAT Lot Layout / Requirements: The proposed Final Plat alters the boundaries of the 3 rd Plat and reduces the total number of lots approved in the Preliminary Plat from 36 to 35 lots. There is a small remaining portion of unplatted property located between Lots 14 and 112. The original approval allows for three (3) lots in this location. However, the developer desires to sell the unplatted portion to the property owner of Lot 14. Thus, prior to building permit issuance for Lot 112, the remaining portion of unplatted property located between Lots 14 and 112 must be platted. This may be accomplished via an Administrative Plat or by a separate Final Plat, depending on the need for any easement or right-of-way dedications or public improvements. There are no changes to the minimum lot sizes, widths, or building setbacks proposed. All proposed single-family lots meet the minimum 65- foot width at the build line and 7,200 square foot lot size. Standard SF- 7 zoning district setbacks are required to be met for each lot. Lot sizes far exceed the minimum, with lot sizes ranging from 12,424 sq. ft. to 27,826 sq. ft. The developer is showing a 30-foot build line to match the previous plats. Street Improvements: Sidewalks & Trail System: All street improvements are installed as required by Public Works. The required sidewalks are shown on the proposed Final Plat. As typically required, each single-family lot is required to install their abutting sidewalk prior to occupancy. However, prior to building permit issuance for Lot 112, the public sidewalk abutting the unplatted property must be installed as required by Public Works. Open Space amenities were previously approved by the PUD Final Plan. This included a loop trail system around the perimeter of the subdivision. The location of the trail has been modified in some areas to preserve existing mature trees. All Open Space amenities are installed, except for the required trail between Lots 42 & 43 in The Estates at Chapman Farms 2 nd Plat. Prior to occupancy of Lots 42 or 43, the required trail must be installed. Landscaping: Street Trees and Open Space landscaping were previously approved by the PUD Final Plan. All Open Space landscaping is installed as previously approved. As required by UDC, each single-family lot is required to install their individually required street trees and landscaping prior to occupancy. Housing Classification: The Estates at Chapman Farms PUD was approved with a minimum livable floor area classification of 1,700 sq. ft. (Class E ) for 3-car garage ranch houses and 2,300 sq. ft. (Class C ) for all other houses, including a requirement that a minimum 1,000 sq. ft. must be on the main level. Page 3 of 5

105 Project: The Estates at Chapman Farms 3 rd Plat Case: PF These classifications are noted on the Final Plat and must be included in the Declaration of Restrictions. Declarations & Restrictions: Easements: Stormwater Management: Public Utilities: Platting: The applicant is proposing to expand the existing Declaration of Restrictions that are currently in effect for the 1 st and 2 nd Plats. The Declaration of Restrictions shall address the maintenance of all tracts and the minimum housing classification for the subdivision and be recorded with the Final Plat. All easements are shown on the Final Plat as required by the City of Blue Springs. However, since the unplatted property between Lots 14 and 112 is not part of the 3 rd Plat, the easements required by Public Works are not being dedicated on that unplatted property. Thus, prior to building permit issuance for Lot 112, the easements required by Public Works on the unplatted property must be dedicated. This may be accomplished via a Final Plat or separate easement document. Stormwater improvements are completed as required by Public Works. Public sanitary sewer is installed as required by Public Works. Water District #13 has provided a letter stating that the water is substantially completed. Prior to building permit issuance, the Final Plat must be approved by City Council and recorded at Jackson County. ACTION BY PLANNING COMMISSION: The Commission is being asked to provide a recommendation on the Final Plat. The plats are reviewed at this time to determine if they conform 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. The Declaration of Restrictions shall address the maintenance of all tracts and the minimum housing classification for the subdivision and be recorded with the Final Plat. Page 4 of 5

Prior to building permit issuance for Lot 112, the remaining portion of unplatted property located between Lots 14 and 112 must be platted, the easements required by Public Works on the unplatted property must be dedicated, and the public sidewalk abutting the unplatted property must be installed as required by Public Works. 5. Prior to occupancy of Lots 42 or 43, the required trail between those two lots must be installed. Page 5 of 5

Other ISSUE/REQUEST Marty Shukert, of RDG Planning & Design, will present the findings of the Community Housing Assessment Tool study (CHAT Study). BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION In 2006, the City of Blue Springs conducted a housing study to identify current housing stock, availability and affordability as well as suggestions and trends beneficial to future residential planning within the City. As it had been over a decade since the previous study was conducted and recognizing that housing styles and types have been evolving since the recession of , staff believed an updated objective renewal of the study would be beneficial. This is especially timely as the Community and Economic Development Department has been approached by numerous developers with plans and housing types not historically seen in the City. Representatives from RDG will be making the presentation to share their findings and research. Of note, this study was made possible by grant funds from both KCP&L (Evergy Energy) and Spire Energy.

There is a significant body of experience in this development community in higher density and traditional neighborhood development and a sense that as one builder put it, "some people are holding on to outdated concepts" of housing development.

In addition to encouraging new business development, the downtown initiative is also producing new small-lot single family housing on infill sites around the Main Street district. Significant opportunities for additional housing development on underused sites also exist in the district. Participants have described the primary market for this new infill development as millennial households.

Much of this work has occurred west of the railroad and has created an attractive neighborhood context for the traditional town center. It also focuses increased potential attention to the railroad corridor between SW ' and ls'h Streets, including the city annex property. ~ -..

Blue Springs is strong in essential features that can attract younger households - great schools, an emerging downtown, relatively affordable {if not always available) housing, and unusual recreational assets. While some participants believed that Blue Springs was not successfully attracting these younger families, the age cohort from 25 to 34 overperformed projections - suggesting in-migration, but the next age cohort underperformed, suggesting an inability at times to retain maturing households. However, the relatively late onset of family formation for many millennial generation adults presents a significant area of opportunity for the development of Blue Springs. ~- - _,.; - -_.._. --., -.;~. : "-., : i = _r:,_-...;:;. ~=-,=-~ w- :~-_J..._ :J-.::r'"'. - '"";-~ ~ ,- :«~l-: _-r._~-="'-oo!!.._ ~ ~~~~~~--=. -,,-,,- -r --- -~ I - ~"'."~-..1"!......, ;~=--_ : -r.-=.._:,, Steady Growth New Hlgh End Development Schools Open Space Resources Active Development Community Downtown Interest and ActiVlty "Old Town" Reinvestment Demographic Opportunity Community Services Local Financing Capabilitv Expanded Retailing (Adams Dairy Pkwy While one does not necessarily associate suburban cities with families and individuals at risk or in need, these issues exist and are highly relevant to housing planning. In the Community Services League, Hillcrest, Hope House, Truman Heritage Habitat and others, Blue Springs as a community has brought an array of resources to human service needs. Housing homeless or marginally homeless people has been a significant Issue, particularly because of the group of older motels along 1-70 and their use for semi-permanent housing. The city and its police department have developed an innovative "tier" system for regulating these facilities, with enforcement and requirement levels graded to the number of incidents and other factors at these buildings.

Retail, hospitality, and food and drink offerings at the Adams Dairy Parkway interchange at 1-70 have grown considerably during the last twelve years. In addition, the design standards and shared use sidepath along the street itself have made it a significant residential development corridor with the potential to be a multi-modal spine that helps link the community together. Similarly, the city has invested in creating an attractive "complete street" corridor along Highway 7 south of Moreland School Road, which can also become an incentive for higher density mixed use development. -~.',,.. :t..

Although markets have mostly recovered, the memory of 2008 remains and, combined with greater mobility and generational preferences, has changed the nature of the renter/owner split. Other people who come to a city for employment or residence want to try it out before becoming invested in it. This has resulted in a major expansion in the rental market nationwide and in the metropolitan area. Blue Springs has generally not been part of this process and, despite relatively healthy rental production in 2018 (photograph at left), has not kept up with demand. Therefore, much of the city's rental stock is old and often not in good condition..-.;:- J'-' a-~... =T,,il-'I,,:{ ~ :-;_: j _,_-~ _,,,_~ / ~ - -_ ~ c::::"~. :,~ ~-- -' 1 ~ --!

Depending on lot size, infrastructure can easily range from $25,000 to $35,000 per unit, making it very difficult to deliver workforce housing. Also, the developer must carry these costs while lots are sold and homes are built. In addition, growth areas such as the south side of Blue Springs require interceptor sewer extensions. If these costs are front-ended by the first developer, that business is at considerable risk while awaiting reimbursement from other developers for connection to the line. As a result, various types of private/public partnerships are ohen necessary to meet overall city goals.

They do not have profit expectations, can do their work as 501(c)(3)s, and do not entail personal risk. Creation of a neighborhood reinvestment corporation was a key recommendation of the 2006 CHAT study. To date, Habitat is the only nonprofit corporation actively involved in housing, and most of its volume is in rehabilitation. An effective CDC remains a significant priority for Blue Springs.

But builders and developers still express concerns with both these ordinances and other policies. Some suggest that the higher residential densities permitted are obviated by TND requirements such as alleys; landscaping requirements are too costly and sometimes inappropriate in context; permit and utility connection costs are unnecessarily high or cause them to pay to connect to utilities that they built, among others. It is not the intention of this document to take sides, but rather to call attention to issues and provide a recommendation that can help lead to solutions. Lack of Availability Lack of Multi-famlly Production The Density Debate and Resident Opposition Producer Risk Aversion Infrastructure Community Development Entities Regulatory Issues Downtown and Corridors People in Need Downtown Blue Springs has been a major area of growth for the city and continues to present many opportunities. This process was initiated by the 2007 Downtown Master Plan and continued with the adoption of the Downtown Development Code and creation of Downtown Alive. Now, in 2019, considerable progress has been made, the status quo has changed, and other opportunities exist to continue downtown's development as a neighborhood and an important housing resource. The 2014 comprehensive plan called attention to older corridors that remain image centers. Of these, Adams Dairy Parkway presents a highly positive character, but the older corridors like Highway 7 and Woods Chapel, present many of the same problems experienced by other urban strips - poor walkability, extensive hard surfaces, inefficient or underused development forms. They also provide significant opportunities.

The city's service organizations have tried to meet this need with facilities like Hillcrest, but some people use long-stay motels for housing. These buildings are usually not well-suited to this type of occupancy or to helping people transition to more appropriate housing. The issues leading to homelessness are complex and no city can solve them all.

Some CDCs are organized as Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs), which provide special access to some financing, Including Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC). (Note: Missouri is not presently approving LIHTC projects). CDC will have a close relationship with local lenders, who will provide construction financing and are likely to participate in mortgage lending. An CDC should work across income ranges and housing types as needed. A CDC will determine its own course but may focus on: Development of "affordable" Independent Hvlng for seniors An innovative environment for homeless and near homeless families, designed to provide a transition to self sufficiency A new workforce housing development using various tools to put new urbcin single-family housing within the reach of a range of Incomes.
