Summary
Leawood adopted an ordinance formally denying a rezoning request from SDO Planned Office District to MXD-4 for the Mission West MXD project; the denial and accompanying findings were adopted by roll-call vote (8–0).
The Leawood governing body adopted an ordinance formally denying the Planning Commission's recommendation to rezone a parcel north of 135th Street and west of Mission Road from SDO Planned Office District to MXD-4, together with findings incorporated from the record.
City staff explained that state statute requires a formal denial to be enacted by ordinance; staff and counsel prepared findings based on the Planning Commission record and the governing body’s prior unanimous vote to deny. During the roll-call vote, all eight council members present recorded 'aye'; the mayor announced the ordinance was unanimously approved and adopted.
Next steps: The denial as adopted will be entered into the official record consistent with statutory requirements.
