Board restores residential zoning for 3.74‑acre parcel near Platte City; rezoning approved
Summary
Platte County staff recommended, and the planning and zoning board approved, rezoning 3.74 acres north of 12405 Highway N from neighborhood commercial (CN) to R7 (single‑family high density) to allow one single‑family dwelling; staff said the change returns the parcel to its original residential zoning context.
Paul Thrun presented a request from Justin and Christy Kearns to rezone 3.74 acres north of 12405 Highway N from CN (neighborhood commercial) to R7 (single‑family high density). Thrun said under CN zoning a dwelling is not permitted, while R7 would allow a single‑family house; staff recommended approval noting surrounding parcels are R7 and that the area had previously been zoned residential.
Thrun told the board the parcel is adjacent to the Prairie Creek Greenway trailhead and that Timber Creek Sewer Company, Platte City Special Road District, Public Water District No. 4, Central Platte Fire and the Platte County R‑3 School District had all reviewed and signed the application indicating service availability. There were no public objections recorded on the transcript; a board member moved, the board seconded, and the rezoning passed unanimously.
Why it matters: The rezoning permits the Kearns to obtain a building permit for a single‑family dwelling and aligns the parcel with adjacent residential zoning. The decision supports residential infill next to a county greenway trailhead.
Next steps: The applicants may apply for a building permit under R7 standards; public works and utility providers will handle site‑specific permitting and service connections.
