Title
Application #PL2026-266 - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT - Greenway and Trails Master Plan; City of Lee's Summit, Applicant.
Body
Issue/Request:
The original comprehensive study of greenways and trails in Lee’s Summit was completed in 1998. Since then, two updates have been completed for the plan; the first update was completed in 2006 and the second was completed in 2019. With Jackson County’s implementation of the Rock Island Trail corridor - in addition to several other contributing factors - a third update to the master plan has come to fruition. The updated master plan will be incorporated in the city’s forthcoming effort to update the comprehensive plan.
This version of the plan retains many of the key principles from the previous greenway master plans, including a planned 40-mile greenway loop around the city. It also incorporates a number of new elements in response to ongoing changes in the community.
Proposed Motion:
I move to direct staff to present a resolution adopting Appl. #PL2026-2666 - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT - Greenway and Trails Master Plan; City of Lee's Summit, applicant.
