Council adopts ordinance formally denying Mission West MXD rezoning
Summary
By an 8–0 roll-call vote, Leawood’s governing body adopted an ordinance formalizing the Planning Commission’s recommendation to deny rezoning of Mission West to MXD-4 and approved staff findings incorporated into the ordinance under state statute.
Leawood’s council adopted an ordinance that formally denies a rezoning request for the Mission West MXD project.
Staff attorney Patty Bennett explained that Kansas statute requires a formal denial by ordinance; she and staff compiled findings from the record to be incorporated into the ordinance. The ordinance reflects the governing body’s prior decision at an earlier meeting and is presented as the formal action required by state law.
Because the item relates to zoning, the clerk conducted a roll-call vote. The clerk recorded eight ayes and no nays; the mayor announced the ordinance was unanimously adopted.
Outcome: The Planning Commission’s recommendation to deny the rezoning was formalized by ordinance and the findings were adopted as part of the record; any further procedural steps will follow statutory timelines for land-use appeals or future applications.
