Revised Experian/Esperia development plan approved with infrastructure timing and Evergy relocation deadline
Summary
The commission approved revisions to the Experian/Esperia preliminary development plan, shifting improvement triggers to Areas B and C and setting milestones (including a hard completion deadline of 11/01/2028) for utility relocation and public improvements tied to future development.
The Planning Commission voted 10–0 to approve revisions to the Experian (referred to in the record also as Esperia) preliminary development plan (PDP 2026-7), updating the timing and triggers for required public improvements and utility relocations tied to development in Areas B and C of the site.
Staff explained the revisions remove Area A as a trigger and instead tie public‑improvement requirements to development in Areas B and C; the change reflects updated traffic counts from nearby uses and is intended to trigger improvements when a user commits. Tony from engineering described milestones and said the commission included a hard deadline for completing improvements: "there's a hard deadline of 11/01/2028 to complete the improvements." (Tony)
Developer representative Greg Musil said the team is agreeable to the timing structure and noted utility relocation (Evergy) and supply‑chain lead time drove the long lead times cited. He said design and coordination with Evergy will proceed when a project is triggered by an actual building user.
Commissioners discussed being proactive versus reactive on public improvements but ultimately approved the revised PDP with stipulations A through DD and a performance‑surety framework tied to the relocation milestones.
