Commission clears Blue Springs Business & Technology Park for construction: 67,500‑sq.-ft. industrial building approved
Summary
The commission approved the final plat and site plan for the Blue Springs Business and Technology Park, a 67,500-square-foot industrial building on roughly 10.7 acres; staff recommended three conditions for site plan approval and two for final plat approval.
The Blue Springs Planning Commission unanimously approved March 10 the final plat and site plan design review for the Blue Springs Business and Technology Park, a multi-lot industrial development at 2305 Northeast Jefferson Street that includes a 67,500-square-foot industrial building (Building 1) on approximately 10.7 acres.
Planning staff said the site is zoned light industrial and currently vacant. The final plat will create two lots (about 10.7 acres combined) and two tracts (about 3.72 acres) and the initial phase includes a tilt-up concrete industrial building designed for multiple tenants, internal roads, public improvements and a detention basin. Staff reported the design meets the nonresidential design guidelines and the UDC requirements. The plan calls for three access points on the north side of NE Jefferson Street, required sidewalks to provide connectivity and 58 parking spaces sized to meet the minimum standard. The applicant provided a landscape plan that met UDC requirements; staff noted photometric and mechanical screening details will be reviewed during the building permit process.
Brian Ron, who identified himself with an address in Lee's Summit, thanked the commission and said the developer has worked with the city for several years and is “excited now to finally be moving forward.”
Commissioners moved to approve the final plat (PF012559468) and the site plan design review (SPDR01259469) with staff-recommended conditions. Both motions passed unanimously.
Staff said signage will be subject to administrative review and that roof-mounted and ground-level equipment must be screened to maintain a unified appearance. No construction timeline or public funding sources were announced at the meeting.
