Title
Appl. #PL2025-195 - REZONING from AG to CP-2 and PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN - Douglas Corporate Center, approximately 9 acres located at the southeast corner of NE Lee's Summit Rd and NE Douglas St; Dahmer Brothers Investments, LLC
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant proposes a rezoning from AG to CP-2 and preliminary development plan (PDP) for a 30,750 sq. ft. commercial development on 9.14 acres located at the southeast corner of NE Lee’s Summit Rd and NE Douglas St. From an architectural perspective, buildings are primarily proposed as 1-story structures. The proposed exterior material palette includes stone, brick, EIFS, aluminum composite metal panels and cementitious panels.
Please note that the plan depicts a total of five (5) lots. Lot 5 is shown as the site of an indoor, climate-controlled storage facility. The applicant is currently not prepared to proceed with preliminary development plan and special use permit approval for Lot 5 and therefore only serves illustrative purposes. Preliminary development plan and special use permit consideration for a storage facility on Lot 5 shall be required under a separate future application.
The applicant requests a modification to the parking lot setback requirement from the public right-of-way. Staff supports the requested modification and additional information on this is provided later in this report.
Proposed Planning Commission Motion:
I move to recommend APPROVAL of Appl. #PL2025-195 - REZONING from AG to CP-2 and PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN - Douglas Corporate Center, approximately 9 acres located at the southeast corner of NE Lee's Summit Rd and NE Douglas St; Dahmer Brothers Investments, LLC.
