Call tonight's meeting to order.

Please join me in the Pledge of Allegiance.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.

And to Republic for which it stands.

One nation under liberty and justice for all.

As we begin our meeting this evening, I'll take a moment to acknowledge that we have a quorum of planning commissioners present with six of nine in attendance.

Commissioners Corcoran, Land and Bergida are unable to attend this evening.

Planning Commission meetings are an important part of the process for interpreting and applying the city's comprehensive plan and unified development ordinance.

It's important that our 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.

And 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 referred to as ex parte communication?

Commissioners will report that interaction when we reach that item on the agenda.

We'll now move on to the consent agenda.

And this evening we do have three items on our consent agenda.

The consent items that are listed are considered routine by the planning commission and may be approved in one motion.

There's no public hearing held for any of these items.

There will be no discussion unless the commissioner requests that a specific item be removed from the consent agenda and considered separately.

Commissioner, do you have any uh issues on the consent agenda that fall under the category that you'd like to pull for additional information or questions from staff?

Well, seeing none, I will call for a motion on the remaining on these items.

Do I have a motion for the consent agenda?

Mr.

Chairman, make a motion that we adopt the consent agenda as submitted by staff.

Thank you, Commissioner Tronis.

Do I have a second?

Second.

Thank you, Commissioner Chapman.

All those in favor say aye.

Aye.

Opposed, nay.

That motion passes six to zero.

Move on now to our regular business, and this evening we do have one scheduled public hearing.

The first public public hearing is a request for the approval of rezoning for the row at Uptown, southeast of 133rd and Black Brob Road.

Mr.

Jury is here to present the case.

Welcome, Nathan.

Thank you, Chair.

No.

Okay.

All right.

Thank you, Chair.

Welcome again.

Good evening.

Nathan Jerry, Senior Planner.

Before you tonight is a request to rezone a property from the AG or the agricultural district to the PD or Plan District.

And also to approve a preliminary development plan for the proposed 133rd and Black Bob mixed use project, also being named as the row at Uptown.

The subject property is generally located at uh 133rd and Black Bob Road, highlighted in yellow on your screen, uh located at the southeast corner of that uh intersection.

Um it is five acres and does include an existing single family home on the property as well as some trees.

Um applicant is proposing um and requesting to rezone the site from the AG district uh to the PD district uh to allow them to pursue a mixed use development.

Uh the property is between commercial zoning and uses to the south uh and west as well, and residential zoning and uses to the north.

Um it's also adjacent to an AG zone property to the east that houses Evergy's substation.

Uh the plan district or PD zoning is not one that we use too often, so I do want to provide a little bit of uh explanation on this use or on this zoning district for the record.

Um the UDO does provide the PD district as an option to encourage innovative land planning and design that is not possible under conventional zoning districts.

Applicant is pursuing this PD district because conventional zoning does not allow for their requested townhome and commercial uses on the same zoned property.

Um so every plan district is unique.

The UDO does require, and this is because the UDO does require each PD to establish their own zoning standards applicable to just their lot.

So the applicant did submit their proposed zoning standards for your review in the document entitled the zoning design standards for the row at Uptown.
