Planning staff recommended approval with stipulations (1 through 18 in the staff report) but flagged several technical items, and the commission spent substantial time on site access, stormwater and landscaping, parking, private versus public streets, and a stipulation requiring relocating overhead power lines.

Planner Carrie Camiller said the proposal includes a requested deviation reducing side-yard setbacks from 30 feet to 20 feet, provides roughly 50.8% open space (the LDO requires 30%) and preserves about 23 existing trees along Chadwick. Staff noted the project would require private streets because certain curve radii could not meet city public-street geometric standards; the developer agreed to maintain private drives and the related maintenance obligations.

Developer representatives and attorneys focused discussion on stipulation 14 in the staff packet, which would require placing about 475 linear feet of overhead power lines along 130th Street underground. Attorney Curtis Holland asked the commission to defer that decision to the governing body and said the applicant would participate financially but requested the applicant's contribution be capped at about one-third of the cost (the applicant cited a nearby case with a different cost-sharing arrangement).

Commission discussion also centered on whether the plat should include an access easement for a roughly 1-acre adjacent agricultural parcel to avoid landlocking that parcel in the future. Several commissioners said an access easement should be required at final plat; Commissioner Franze moved to add a stipulation requiring the developer to grant an access easement to the adjacent agricultural parcel, and Commissioner Belzer seconded.

A motion to approve the rezoning, preliminary plan and preliminary plat (as amended to add the access-easement stipulation) was made by Commissioner Black and seconded by Commissioner Belzer. The motion ultimately produced a tie vote at the dais and did not carry; the transcript records a 4-to-4 split and the chair declared the motion not adopted.

After recess and a legal review of the LDO, the applicant asked for and was granted a continuance to revise the plan and continue negotiations with staff; commission staff and the applicant agreed to work together on outstanding items. No final recommendation will be forwarded to the governing body until the applicant returns with a revised submission at a future regular meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission-Regular Session - Sep 30 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners tied on a motion to approve the Villas of Chadwick rezoning and preliminary plat (case 47-25); the applicant asked to continue and the commission agreed to let the developer revise the plan for a future hearing.","taxTitle","Leawood, Johnson County, Kansas","taxId",55742,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":44,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6454156,"Planning commission recommends rezoning at Regents Park, approves revised preliminary plan",693,308000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5862551-3c36ac10f4775674952edfc70fc04408&start=308&end=1001","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5862551-3c36ac10f4775674952edfc70fc04408/thumbnail_308000.jpg","/articles/6454156/Leawood/Johnson-County/Kansas/Planning-commission-recommends-rezoning-at-Regents-Park-approves-revised-preliminary-plan","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6454156-50703a3104603a833515062d89413b06/orig.mp4?Expires=1775388638&Signature=VGAPYrKE0jk4PfZiFYAhjAqCOQkWv1~KuuAvBUjkNEAVKr4-tdsja1T0UP74TOwFk2CqquLC~Gty7KkBuhMxbnZkjYgwNaqNnyibQPKrnJ3rdD0EnL379lCfJn95rgEIlAzYLp~tDMFGMp0~Nt2KnWXMMFTRlGHV2XFit8v1Ow2jR55Vzq011vSDVS7aQH~eSUiUtU73J6Hb7eVfEFHnfZK23Btlqu8ExhSj5ULJ0DmLb9ZfErLfXERfSisk78CWTbpb0HfMTUhTSSddqMW7pbaGKG~2tp0yOlo-ECViqKrowtg69flxtze6pszrzBYguB3wRSe9Bog1iKIil6ZTrg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Leawood Planning Commission on Sept. 30 recommended approval of PC106-25, a rezoning of 4.66 acres in the Regents Park development from Planned Cluster Attached Residential (RP-3) to Planned Cluster Detached Residential (RP-2) and a revised preliminary development plan.

The change affects seven lots (lots 15 through 21) south of 130th Street and proposes converting what had been planned duplex/twin-villa slots into seven single-family lots. \"In this case, we're taking 7 duplex slots and turning them into 7 single family lots, so a reduction of 7 doors,\" applicant Tim Tucker of Phelps Engineering told the commission.

Staff told commissioners the request would reduce the number of twin villas previously planned for the broader Regents Park project, and that many off-site infrastructure elements (utilities, stormwater, cul-de-sacs) are already installed. Planner Carrie Camiller recommended approval, saying the RP-2 zoning is consistent with Leawood's comprehensive plan designation of medium-density residential and the proposal supports the city's housing objectives by providing additional homeownership alternatives.

The applicant requested one deviation under the Leawood Development Ordinance (LDO) to reduce side-yard setbacks on the rezoned lots from the standard 10 feet to 7.5 feet; staff said the same deviation had been granted for an earlier Regents Park case and recommended support of it again. Camiller also told the commission the application does not propose changes to previously approved elevations, parking or landscaping.

After public hearing (no speakers) and brief commission discussion, Commissioner Belzer moved to approve the rezoning and revised preliminary development plan; Commissioner McGurren seconded. Commissioners voted by voice and the motion passed; staff will forward the recommendation and the case to the governing body for final action.

The commission approval includes the plan as presented and the applicant's agreement with the 28 stipulations listed in the staff report. The applicant said they will proceed with the stipulations as written.

The commission's recommendation now goes to the governing body for a final decision, where the previously approved elements of Regents Park and the new RP-2 lots will be considered together.","The Leawood Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of a rezoning and revised preliminary development plan for 4.66 acres at Regents Park (case PC106-25), moving the proposal to the governing body after a voice vote.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6454147,"Mission West MXD plan continued after staff recommends denial citing lack of integration and pedestrian focus",5600,7200000,12800000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5862551-3c36ac10f4775674952edfc70fc04408&start=7200&end=12800","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5862551-3c36ac10f4775674952edfc70fc04408/thumbnail_7200000.jpg","/articles/6454147/Leawood/Johnson-County/Kansas/Mission-West-MXD-plan-continued-after-staff-recommends-denial-citing-lack-of-integration-and-pedestrian-focus","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6454147-bedf76b4e3b907971f31fdde2faa7f99/orig.mp4?Expires=1775388638&Signature=h9CSPy1lX452Qqqlw68JSfNoSLiJeiZsM313L7M-GpbtZLWyPVDnxB6DTCas~W5WhEqzd1ytG6yJoteHJqG9Bqzk73wzTNi98cwPVgkQ5sROUinr3Izm1wCVMkIMpBGtC4m0XnL83cCRYNQcE8JD6yRlz9MFjCG-2KK8gYxlV40uRbW4qbjcVdCfQmFGIVY6V-V8JAVX~DhjgVBl5wBknUgNdOKhfffIF0qO59~--re2zrv7SugNXaTHfqwH~Kmpn-e8XT0HtEo4dFDw7j1P094ZS7qmq10cDP967YWhrs3~MotnOamrcaU2YbLYomfXna5Y8MbDuBwUoF0JXQ1Aaw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Planning Commission reviewed Case 72-25, Mission West MXD, a proposal to rezone roughly 22.6 acres north of 130th Street and west of Mission Road from Planned Office District (SDO) to Mixed Use District 4 (MXD-4) and to approve a preliminary development plan and preliminary plat. The project proposes approximately 471,000 square feet of development, 326 residential units and structured below-grade parking.

Staff recommended denial, saying the submission did not meet key directives in the Leawood Comprehensive Plan and the 130th Street community plan. Planner Cameron Ewing told commissioners that although the property is identified on the future land use map as appropriate for MXD-4, staff found the north and south parts of the site insufficiently integrated and that pedestrian-scale \"village\" elements called for by the corridor plan were not convincingly present. Staff also compared the application to the previously approved Oxford Promenade development immediately across 130th Street and said Mission West lacked some of the elements the commission had accepted previously.

The applicant's design team, represented by Patrick Reuter of Clover Architects and developer Rick Odo, disputed the denial and said the plan intentionally adopts a configuration similar to Oxford Promenade but includes additional open space, two large ponds, extensive plazas and fully underground parking beneath the multifamily buildings. \"We have about 2 acres worth of ponds ... more green space and plaza areas throughout the plan,\" Reuter said. He and the developer said the design intentionally places buildings and parking to screen surface lots from 130th Street and to provide multiple internal plazas and trails.

Key technical items in the staff report and applicant presentation included a requested FAR/parking deviation (applicant proposed 1.5 spaces per residential unit instead of the LDO's 2 spaces per unit), the request for a 55% residential FAR discount, the proposed structured (below-grade) parking and the configuration of circulation and access points. Staff said it had reviewed traffic and parking analyses and that the proposal met many LDO requirements but still lacked the degree of on-site integration called for in the corridor plan.

Public comment included one resident who supported the project as a desirable rental alternative and praised the developer's attention to green space. Commissioners extensively questioned the applicant on site circulation, the location of garage entrances, phasing, the number of pad sites/drive-through lanes along 130th Street and the feasibility of moving more parking underground to expand interior amenities.

Following discussion, Commissioner Garnsey moved to continue the case for additional plan refinement and staff-applicant coordination; Commissioner Belzer seconded. The planning commission voted to continue the case to a future regular meeting so staff and the applicant can refine the plan and respond to the commission's concerns.","Staff recommended denial of Mission West MXD (case 72-25); applicant and developer argued the plan meets the community plan and provides more green space and underground parking than a nearby approved project. The commission voted to continue the case for further refinement.","actionData","errors"]
