Council approves rezoning at 120 Constitution Drive to allow contractor shop and eight townhome units
Summary
On a roll-call vote the council approved Bill 2024-057 to rezone 2.3 acres at 120 Constitution Drive from high-density residential to a PUD allowing a contractor shop facing the street and eight dwelling units behind it; the applicant and consultant said the lot needs significant grading and remediation and that multifamily is needed in the city.
The Jefferson City Council voted to approve an ordinance (Bill 2024-057) rezoning about 2.3 acres at 120 Constitution Drive from a high-density residential district to a planned unit development that will allow a contractor shop at the street frontage and eight townhome-style dwelling units behind it.
City planning staff asked Mr. Smith to present the preliminary PUD plan; he described the layout showing a contractor shop facing Constitution Drive, access drives and four two-unit buildings arranged as townhomes with one-car garages. Bartlett & West representative Brian McMillan told the council the site has steep grade changes, a pond currently used as a detention basin and ash/rubble, and that significant site work will be required to prepare pad-ready lots.
Applicant Kyle Berenson (represented at the hearing) said the plan calls for a phase 1 bioretention basin, extensive earthwork and stormwater improvements, and estimated breaking ground on the contractor shop within 3–4 months if the council approved the rezoning. Berenson said the developer expects to have the contractor shop finished and to begin the townhome phase by about this time next year.
No speakers registered in opposition during the public hearing. Council closed the hearing and conducted a roll-call vote. The clerk recorded unanimous approval on the motion to proceed (ayes recorded by roll call). The rezoning will continue through the city's ordinance adoption schedule, with the next formal consideration set at the council's January meeting for final passage.
