Olathe commission approves rezoning to allow Cardinal Brush expansion at South Keeler Terrace
Summary
The Planning Commission approved RZ25-0003 to rezone a parcel at 15790 South Keeler Terrace to M-2 general industrial to allow a 12,500-square-foot addition to an existing Cardinal Brush industrial building. The motion passed 7–0 and the application will go to City Council on July 1.
The Olathe Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve RZ25-0003, a rezoning request to allow Cardinal Brush Corporation to expand its industrial facility at 15790 South Keeler Terrace.
Emily Carrillo, senior planner, said the site contains a one-story, 26,000-square-foot metal industrial building constructed in 1986. The applicant proposes a 12,500-square-foot addition to support Cardinal Brush’s operations, which manufacture replacement brushes for industrial floor-cleaning equipment. Carrillo said the property currently retains county planned industrial zoning and requires a city zoning district for development activity; the requested M-2 general industrial district is consistent with the city’s future land use map and Plan Olathe policies supporting reinvestment in industrial areas.
Carrillo said the expansion meets applicable UDO requirements for setbacks, open space, parking and landscaping. Existing mature tree lines on the south and west property lines will remain; existing landscape beds will be refreshed and expanded, a new street tree will be added along Keeler Terrace, privacy fencing and evergreen screening will screen outdoor storage, and screening will be added around an existing transformer. Carrillo said the UDO allows nonconforming industrial buildings to expand if the addition matches existing materials and is compatible with surrounding properties; staff supported the proposed design and recommended approval with no stipulations. She said a neighborhood meeting had one resident in the notification area but no attendees and that staff had received no correspondence on the rezoning.
Motion and vote: A motion to approve RZ25-0003, subject to staff stipulations, was moved by Commissioner Creighton. The roll-call vote was recorded as: Commissioner Brown — yes; Commissioner Torones — yes; Commissioner Chapman — yes; Commissioner Lynn — yes; Commissioner Creighton — yes; Commissioner Corcoran — yes; Chair Wayne Janner — yes. The motion passed 7–0. Carrillo said the application will proceed to City Council for consideration at its July 1 meeting.
Next steps: The rezoning will be forwarded to City Council on July 1 for final consideration; standard development review and a final site plan will follow prior to building permits for the addition.
