Community development reports steady building activity and 83 permits in March
Summary
City staff reported 83 total building permits and about $4 million in construction valuation for March 2025; the department opened roughly 110 code cases and noted a continued pipeline of planning cases.
City planners reported March building and planning activity to the Blue Springs Planning Commission on April 14.
Key monthly figures: Christopher Willis said staff issued 83 building permits for March 2025, representing just over $4 million in construction valuation and about 551 inspections. The department recorded nine single‑family dwelling permits in March and no multifamily permits; overall inspections covered approximately 96,024 square feet of work.
Code enforcement and planning cases: Willis said the department opened about 110 code cases in March, mostly public health, safety and welfare complaints (nuisance and trash). Planning cases active or approved during March included the Blue Springs Business and Technology Park, Lehi Spaces Phase 2, Tommy’s (approved by the commission and council), 7 Brew (approved by council), and a Tim Hortons sign approval.
Why it matters: The report indicates steady construction and planning activity as the city moves into the spring building season and continues to process redevelopment and signage requests.
Next steps: Staff expects permit and inspection activity to rise over the spring and summer months and will continue monthly reporting to the commission.
