On September 8, 2025, the Olathe Planning Commission held a regular meeting with six of nine commissioners present. The meeting included a consent agenda with two items and two public hearings. All votes were unanimous (6-0).
Like to call tonight's meeting to order. Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance through the flag of the United States of America and to the Republicans. Under God, indivisible with the liberty and justice for all. So we begin our meeting this evening. We'll take a moment to acknowledge that we do have a quorum of planning commissioners present with six of nine in attendance. I want to thank everyone in the chamber for attending this evening's meeting. Planning commission meetings are an important part of the process for interpreting and applying the city's comprehensive plan and the unified development ordinance. It's important that our money meetings are conducted with dignity and respect. That applies to every person in attendance. We strive to provide an atmosphere where the ideas and opinions of all participants are held in the highest regard. Finally, the actions on the issues we discuss are ultimately under the responsibility of the City Council. As a planning commission, we're here to help the council as our elected representatives to be fully informed to make the best choices for our city. By statute, the planning commission strives not to engage with any party on the issues on our agenda prior to our meeting. Should that interaction take place as a result of a business relationship or any other interaction, which we refer to as ex parte communication, commissioners will report that interaction when we reach that item on the agenda. We'll now move to the consent agenda. And this evening we have two items on the consent agenda. Commissioners, do you need to pull any items for additional information or questions from staff? Commissioner Creighton. I would like to call uh poll item B is in Bravo, please. Okay, please know for the record that item B has been pulled for from the consent agenda. Any other questions? If not, I'll entertain a motion for the passage of item A. Do I have a motion on the consent agenda? So moved. Thank you, Commissioner Chapman. Do I have a second? Second. Thanks, Commissioner Brown. All those in favor say A. Aye. Aye. All opposed, nay. And that passes six to zero. So we'll now move forward on uh item B. Commissioner Creighton, I'll give you the floor. Tell us what you're thinking here. Okay. Thank you. Um not asking for a presentation or anything on this. Just wanted to make a comment. Um, as noted in our packet, this is an old zoning district that we don't use anymore. It's an old plan district. And this is the final plat, just all we're doing is procedural. We're just setting lot lines and the like. No issues on that. My only comment is that probably other than Mr. Corcoran and myself, who's not here this evening. We may be the only people that are still around that when that was a uh zoning category. And so the plan districts were always designed to find something a little different than the standard.
