Planning Commission approves Bridal Ridge rezoning with conditions after remand from council
Summary
The Overland Park Planning Commission voted 9-0 Aug. 11 to approve rezoning REZ2025-00002 (Bridal Ridge) to RP-1N with stipulations including dedication of Track C to the city and a rear-yard deviation for five lots; the council will consider the item Sept. 8.
The Overland Park Planning Commission on Aug. 11 voted 9-0 to approve rezoning application REZ2025-00002 (Bridal Ridge), sending the recommendation to the City Council for final consideration on Sept. 8.
Staff said the request would change the northwest corner of 120th Street and Knoll Avenue from R-1 to RP-1N (planned single-family infill) and noted the item had been remanded back from City Council so the commission could review the proposed driveway/access shown on the plan. Staff recommended approval subject to stipulations A through Q, including a new stipulation (Q) submitted after the June hearing that requires dedication of “Track C” as park/open space to the city.
The developer’s plan shows seven lots served by a new access off 120th Street (five lots on the north side of a cul-de-sac and two on the south). Staff said a rear-yard deviation is requested for Lots 1–5 to reduce the required rear-yard depth from 20 feet to 10 feet; staff said it found that deviation acceptable because similar setbacks exist elsewhere adjacent to open space. Staff also noted geotechnical/engineering analysis will be required for the northern five lots because of grades.
Commissioners discussed access, traffic and flood-map timing. Staff said FEMA maps in the packet date to February 2009 and that Johnson County is updating flood models but no countywide adoption timetable is available. Staff and the applicant told commissioners the proposed lots are well elevated—“tens of feet above” the mapped base flood elevation—and staff said stormwater detention would not be required for this site under current rules.
Commissioner Robinette moved approval subject to stipulations A–Q; the motion passed 9-0. The matter will appear on the Sept. 8 City Council agenda; citizens wishing to speak must register using the council’s public comment form.
Vote details: motion to approve REZ2025-00002 with stipulations A–Q passed 9-0.
