Commission approves final plat and site plan for Lehi Place Flex Spaces Phase 2
Summary
The planning commission approved a four-building flex-space development at 3405 NW Jefferson Street, establishing two lots and a private stormwater connection to an existing detention basin; staff recommended conditions covering sidewalks, screening and signage.
The Blue Springs Planning Commission unanimously approved March 10 the final plat and site plan design review for Lehi Place Flex Spaces Phase 2, a four-building light-industrial flex-space development proposed at 3405 Northwest Jefferson Street.
Planning staff told commissioners the site occupies about 4.19 acres in an existing light industrial zoning district and will create four new buildings (labeled A–D), two developable lots and one tract reserved for an extended dry detention basin. The project design mirrors existing flex space to the north and includes corrugated metal siding, composite wood accents and floor-to-ceiling storefront windows.
Staff said the project meets zoning requirements and nonresidential design guidelines. The plan requires half-street improvements and an ADA-compliant five-foot sidewalk along the Jefferson Street frontage; the public sidewalk will connect to Building D. Parking will provide 62 spaces (which meets the minimum) plus 21 additional stalls and interior garage parking accessible via overhead doors. Staff recommended approval of the site plan design review with four conditions and approval of the final plat subject to four conditions.
Patrick Joyce, representing Kimley Horn, said the team was available to answer questions and described placement of ADA stalls and future considerations for Building E outside this phase. Commissioner Craigle asked about ADA parking and the team pointed to ADA stalls in front of Buildings C and D on the submitted plans.
Commissioners expressed a question about buffer width between Building A/B and the detention basin; staff said the dry detention basin edge to the building is about 4.8 to 5 feet on the plan and reiterated it would be dry except during rain events. The commission approved the final plat (PF01259466) and the site plan design review (SPDR012596467) by unanimous vote.
Staff noted that photometric and mechanical screening details will be reviewed in the building permit stage and that signage will be reviewed administratively.
