Loading...
Summary
The Leawood Planning Commission approved a preliminary plan and special use permit for a two‑phase medical outpatient building at Parkway Plaza, replacing a previously approved retail slot. Staff conditions and impact fees must be addressed before permits are issued.
The Leawood Planning Commission on June 24 approved a preliminary plan and special use permit for the Jamieson Medical Building at Parkway Plaza, a phased medical outpatient facility planned north of 130th Street and west of Bridal Street.
Staff said the applicant proposes a single‑story, 6,500‑square‑foot medical outpatient care building in phase one with a future 5,500‑square‑foot expansion in phase two, for a combined 12,000 square feet. The proposal substitutes the previously approved 12,500‑square‑foot retail slot and would result in a floor‑area ratio of about 0.15 for the lot. Cameron Ewing, planner I, told commissioners the request requires a special use permit because the development would include ambulatory surgery capabilities as part of a multidisciplinary pain management practice.
The commission approved the application with the stipulations recommended by staff, including a revision to correct the legal name on stipulation No. 2 and requirements to provide a final landscape plan and a photometric study at final plan. Ewing said the applicant must pay a park impact fee, a public art impact fee (or install a piece of public art), and a corridor impact fee for 130th Street prior to issuance of a building permit. Staff also recommended a stipulation that remaining unstriped parking adjoining Lot 19 be striped per the Leawood Development Ordinance once Lot 19’s parking is finished.
Vic Mosby of Anker Architectural Consulting, appearing for the applicant, said the team had reviewed the staff report and had no outstanding issues. Commissioner Fishman noted the property had been vacant for a long time and said the proposal “looks like a better idea,” and Commissioner Belzer moved approval. Commissioner Nadelman seconded the motion. The commission voted to approve the case; the record shows an affirmative voice vote and the chair announced the case approved.
The preliminary plan does not finalize building elevations, landscaping details or lighting; Ewing said elevations provided are preliminary and must conform to Parkway Plaza design standards at final plan. The staff report listed 29 stipulations attached to the approval.
Construction may proceed only after the applicant satisfies the listed stipulations and impact‑fee requirements and obtains required building permits.
