Developer seeks subdivision of Brentwood Promenade to create two bank outparcels
Summary
Husch Blackwell attorney Patrick Ekelkamp presented Bill 6609 asking the board to subdivide the Brentwood Promenade to create two outparcels for UMB Bank and Chase, explaining the change is for asset management and that planning commission recommended approval 7-0; the parcels proposed (0.53 and 0.67 acres) fall below the PD overlay's 1-acre minimum but the overlay permits waivers.
An attorney for HRP Brentwood LLC presented a proposal to subdivide part of the Brentwood Promenade to create two separate outparcels for bank buildings.
Patrick Ekelkamp (Husch Blackwell) said the owner's affiliate is requesting Bill 6609 to subdivide the property so each bank building would sit on its own parcel within the planned-development overlay that governs the Promenade. He said the Target parcel is separate and the subdivision would carve two parcels out of the remaining development. The planning commission considered the request and recommended approval by a 7'0'00 vote.
Ekelkamp said the action is intended for asset-management purposes (for example, to allow different financing arrangements for each parcel), not to change existing uses, parking, lighting or landscaping. He said cross-access easements will remain in perpetuity and that no immediate signage or use changes are proposed.
Board members questioned parking viability and minimum-lot-size rules in the plan-development overlay, which sets a one-acre minimum. Planning staff said other parcels in the same overlay are already under one acre and that a waiver or similar treatment has precedent; the two proposed lots would be about 0.53 and 0.67 acres.
The board completed a first reading; the item will return for a vote at the May 18 meeting.
Why it matters: The subdivision affects property ownership, financing options and potential future development controls at a major Brentwood shopping center that includes Target, Whole Foods and other retailers.
What's next: The board will consider Bill 6609 for final action at its May 18 meeting.
