business park area. 247 00:08:05,100 --> 00:08:07,100 you can see over time there has 248 00:08:07,100 --> 00:08:09,100 been a lot of rezoning activity, 249 00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:11,100 away from business park and also 250 00:08:11,100 --> 00:08:13,100 a variety of residential 251 00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:15,100 districts have been introduced. 252 00:08:15,100 --> 00:08:17,100 you can see that progression 253 00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:18,100 over time. 254 00:08:18,100 --> 00:08:20,100 also, I really want to note on 255 00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:22,100 business park that zoning 256 00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:24,100 district really is mainly 257 00:08:24,100 --> 00:08:26,401 comprised of flex space, 258 00:08:27,100 --> 00:08:29,100 warehousing, light 259 00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:30,100 manufacturing, office is a 260 00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:32,100 component of it, but with the 261 00:08:32,100 --> 00:08:33,100 current market we are seeing 262 00:08:33,100 --> 00:08:35,100 less office development, so over 263 00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:38,100 time we progressed away from 264 00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:41,100 that district in this area. 265 00:08:41,100 --> 00:08:42,100 I will move to the the 266 00:08:42,100 --> 00:08:43,100 comprehensive plan. 267 00:08:43,100 --> 00:08:44,100 this is elevate olathe 268 00:08:44,100 --> 00:08:46,100 comprehensive plan just adopted 269 00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:47,100 in april and I want to talk 270 00:08:47,100 --> 00:08:49,401 about the case 7 subarea. 271 00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:52,100 this is a particular area in the 272 00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:53,100 plan. 273 00:08:53,100 --> 00:08:54,100 we did engagement on the 274 00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:55,100 comprehensive plan over two year 275 00:08:55,100 --> 00:08:57,100 period, very extensive community 276 00:08:57,100 --> 00:09:00,100 engagement in person, online and 277 00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:02,100 at events and held specific open 278 00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:04,100 house and engagement online 279 00:09:04,100 --> 00:09:07,100 events related to this subarea 280 00:09:07,100 --> 00:09:09,100 so we looked at case 7, know 281 00:09:09,100 --> 00:09:11,100 there is a lot of development 282 00:09:11,100 --> 00:09:12,100 opportunity. 283 00:09:12,100 --> 00:09:13,100 we wanted to look at a more 284 00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:14,100 refined land use plan, place 285 00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:16,100 making opportunities and some of 286 00:09:16,100 --> 00:09:18,100 the key elements that we will 287 00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:20,100 talk about this evening are 288 00:09:20,100 --> 00:09:21,100 looking at complete 289 00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:22,100 neighborhoods, building 290 00:09:22,100 --> 00:09:24,100 residential with commercial, 291 00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:27,100 perhaps vertical mixed use 292 00:09:27,100 --> 00:09:28,100 buildings. 293 00:09:28,100 --> 00:09:30,401 cohesive life style centers, 294 00:09:31,100 --> 00:09:33,100 opportunity for commercial 295 00:09:35,100 --> 00:09:37,100 arterials, maybe entertainment 296 00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:39,100 and parking when you integrate 297 00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:40,100 the uses together. 298 00:09:40,100 --> 00:09:41,100 a range of multifamily and 299 00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:43,401 higher density housing that 300 00:09:44,100 --> 00:09:46,100 transition to surrounding 301 00:09:46,100 --> 00:09:47,100 neighborhoods. 302 00:09:47,100 --> 00:09:49,100 these were talked about in the 303 00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:52,100 comprehensive plan update and in 304 00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:53,100 the document. 305 00:09:53,100 --> 00:09:54,100 we are talking about this area 306 00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:55,100 mixed use. 307 00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:57,100 mix of uses really. 308 00:09:57,100 --> 00:09:59,100 so, just one thing to note, this 309 00:09:59,100 --> 00:10:02,100 is the only area out of all 310 00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:04,100 these brown shaded mix of use 311 00:10:04,100 --> 00:10:07,100 areas that already has active 312 00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:09,100 recent construction, or 313 00:10:10,100 --> 00:10:11,100 developments reviewing through 314 00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:13,100 the construction process. 315 00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:14,100 already has development 316 00:10:14,100 --> 00:10:15,100 approvals and now going through 317 00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:17,100 building permit review, so we 318 00:10:17,100 --> 00:10:19,100 see it as somewhat unique that 319 00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:21,100 developments started prior to 320 00:10:21,100 --> 00:10:23,100 plan adoption and then when you 321 00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:25,100 get to the other subareas, those 322 00:10:25,100 --> 00:10:26,100 could have approved 323 00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:28,401 developments, but not actively 324 00:10:31,100 --> 00:10:32,100 under construction now. 325 00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:34,100 getting closer to the property, 326 00:10:34,100 --> 00:10:35,100 mixed use. 327 00:10:35,100 --> 00:10:37,100 so, we'll get into the specific 328 00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:39,100 of the development cases but you 329 00:10:39,100 --> 00:10:41,100 see referenced on the screen and 330 00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:43,100 location in the mixed use area. 331 00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:46,100 what mixed use means is, looking 332 00:10:46,100 --> 00:10:49,100 at stratified uses, so mix of 333 00:10:49,100 --> 00:10:51,100 residential, commercial, 334 00:10:52,100 --> 00:10:53,100 employment opportunities within 335 00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:55,100 a larger development area, often 336 00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:57,401 pedestrian oriented design so 337 00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:00,100 meant to integrate transition 338 00:11:00,100 --> 00:11:01,100 between the land uses. 339 00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:04,100 we also added a vertical mix use 340 00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:05,100 overlay in the comprehensive 341 00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:06,100 plan. 342 00:11:06,100 --> 00:11:08,100 these are areas where vertical 343 00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:10,100 mixed use, so commercial ground 344 00:11:10,100 --> 00:11:13,100 floor with residential or office 345 00:11:13,100 --> 00:11:15,100 above is encouraged by the 346 00:11:15,100 --> 00:11:17,100 comprehensive plan. 347 00:11:17,100 --> 00:11:18,100 we know over time we will 348 00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:20,100 continue to evaluate this 349 00:11:20,100 --> 00:11:21,100 overlay. 350 00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:22,100 there is portions of it that 351 00:11:22,100 --> 00:11:23,100 have already been through the 352 00:11:23,100 --> 00:11:24,100 development process here. 353 00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:26,100 but this is another layer of the 354 00:11:26,100 --> 00:11:28,100 case subarea. 355 00:11:29,100 --> 00:11:31,100 so, really I want to hone in on 356 00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:33,100 this concept plan briefly. 357 00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:35,100 there were two different 358 00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:38,100 development teams that worked on 359 00:11:38,100 --> 00:11:39,100 this together. 360 00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:41,100 this is somewhat unique and do 361 00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:42,100 not see this all the time. 362 00:11:42,100 --> 00:11:45,100 we have two development teams 363 00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:46,100 submit around the same time, go 364 00:11:46,100 --> 00:11:47,100 through the development review 365 00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:49,100 process together, coordinate 366 00:11:49,100 --> 00:11:51,100 with staff back and forth on 367 00:11:51,100 --> 00:11:54,100 changes to the plan and really 368 00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:55,100 did joint neighborhood meeting, 369 00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:57,100 which we'll highlight later, so 370 00:11:57,100 --> 00:11:59,100 it is somewhat unique and really 371 00:11:59,100 --> 00:12:01,100 these two cases are interrelated 372 00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:03,100 in how they relate to the 373 00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:04,100 comprehensive plan. 374 00:12:04,100 --> 00:12:06,401 they are inner-dependent with 375 00:12:07,100 --> 00:12:08,100 each other to align with the 376 00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:10,100 comprehensive plan so talked 377 00:12:10,100 --> 00:12:11,100 about the development teams you 378 00:12:11,100 --> 00:12:12,100 need to progress together. 379 00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:15,601 they are more then willing to 380 00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:17,100 work through the development 381 00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:19,100 process so that unique aspect I 382 00:12:19,100 --> 00:12:20,100 wanted to highlight. 383 00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:21,100 finally I want to talk why we 384 00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:23,100 are here. 385 00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:26,100 we will be honing on the zoning 386 00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:27,100 district. 387 00:12:27,100 --> 00:12:29,100 so, two things we look at are 388 00:12:29,100 --> 00:12:31,401 zoning and preliminary plan. 389 00:12:32,100 --> 00:12:34,100 with the zoning district we are 390 00:12:34,100 --> 00:12:37,100 looking at conformance with the 391 00:12:37,100 -->

00:22:11,401 buildings that are fronting 644 00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:14,100 along college boulevard and two 645 00:22:14,100 --> 00:22:15,100 additional buildings proposed 646 00:22:15,100 -->

00:34:45,100 west 48 west of kansas city 1013 00:34:45,100 --> 00:34:48,100 missouri here with chris from 1014 00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:51,100 platform the applicant and matt 1015 00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:54,100 the civil engineer at 1016 00:34:54,100 --> 00:34:56,100 kimley-horn. 1017 00:34:56,100 --> 00:34:57,100 with a staff report like that 1018 00:34:57,100 --> 00:34:59,401 and taylor's presentation, the 1019 00:35:01,100 --> 00:35:02,100 last thing to do is go over 1020 00:35:02,100 --> 00:35:05,601 details so will limit to three 1021 00:35:06,100 --> 00:35:08,100 bullet points because we worked 1022 00:35:08,100 --> 00:35:11,100 with a long time, staff worked a 1023 00:35:11,100 --> 00:35:12,100 long time and this is from our 1024 00:35:12,100 --> 00:35:14,100 perspective if you told me I had 1025 00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:16,100 three bullet points, here is 1026 00:35:16,100 --> 00:35:17,100 what I would say. 1027 00:35:17,100 --> 00:35:19,100 first, this is a down-zoning as 1028 00:35:19,100 --> 00:35:22,100 taylor did a good job 1029 00:35:22,100 --> 00:35:23,100 describing. 1030 00:35:23,100 --> 00:35:24,100 a significant down-zoning. 1031 00:35:24,100 --> 00:35:27,100 something that can have up to 1032 00:35:27,100 --> 00:35:29,100 144 feet, so this is significant 1033 00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:32,100 down-zoning from bp to r3. 1034 00:35:32,100 --> 00:35:33,100 point two is we really believe 1035 00:35:33,100 --> 00:35:35,100 this is a reasonable and quality 1036 00:35:35,100 --> 00:35:37,401 and traditional transition from 1037 00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:40,100 commercial to the north, future 1038 00:35:40,100 --> 00:35:41,100 commercial we just heard about, 1039 00:35:41,100 --> 00:35:44,100 commercial to the east, to the 1040 00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:45,100 residential to the south and 1041 00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:47,100 southwest, including but not 1042 00:35:47,100 --> 00:35:50,100 limited to the extensive tree 1043 00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:51,100 preservation. 1044 00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:52,100 we didn't highlight that much 1045 00:35:52,100 --> 00:35:53,100 but you are looking at the 1046 00:35:53,100 --> 00:35:55,100 aerial and seeing how much trees 1047 00:35:55,100 --> 00:35:57,100 to the west and tree stand to 1048 00:35:57,100 --> 00:35:59,100 the south when we are done. 1049 00:35:59,100 --> 00:36:01,100 extensive tree preservation. 1050 00:36:01,100 --> 00:36:03,100 the third point and say the most 1051 00:36:03,100 --> 00:36:04,100 important point is the 1052 00:36:04,100 --> 00:36:07,100 consistency with any project of 1053 00:36:07,100 --> 00:36:09,100 scale, there is something that 1054 00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:11,100 is inconsistent with the comp 1055 00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:12,100 plan goals or something to 1056 00:36:12,100 --> 00:36:14,100 discus, but here in all ways as 1057 00:36:14,100 --> 00:36:16,100 taylor emphasized in writing and 1058 00:36:16,100 --> 00:36:17,100 verbally tonight we are 1059 00:36:17,100 --> 00:36:19,100 consistent with elevate olathe 1060 00:36:19,100 --> 00:36:21,100 and udo, whether pedestrian 1061 00:36:21,100 --> 00:36:23,100 oriented with the trail 1062 00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:24,100 connection or sidewalks or mixed 1063 00:36:24,100 --> 00:36:26,100 use nature or the mixed housing 1064 00:36:26,100 --> 00:36:27,100 because we have townhomes and 1065 00:36:27,100 --> 00:36:29,100 traditional multifamily. 1066 00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:33,100 so, we will again as taylor be 1067 00:36:33,100 --> 00:36:34,100 back with the preliminary 1068 00:36:34,100 --> 00:36:37,100 development plan and hone in on 1069 00:36:37,100 --> 00:36:39,401 architectural details, but for 1070 00:36:40,100 --> 00:36:41,100 tonight we ask you to please 1071 00:36:41,100 --> 00:36:43,100 consider and hopefully recommend 1072 00:36:43,100 --> 00:36:44,100 to the city council this 1073 00:36:44,100 --> 00:36:45,100 rezoning and the associated 1074 00:36:45,100 --> 00:36:47,100 concept plan and if there is 1075 00:36:47,100 --> 00:36:49,100 questions now chair or later, I 1076 00:36:49,100 --> 00:36:50,100 am happy to answer those. 1077 00:36:50,100 -->
