Title
Public Hearing: Application #PL2025-333 - Preliminary Development Plan - Pathways at Kensington Farms - Phase 1, 1231 SW Waterloo Drive; Petra Development, applicant.
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant requests approval of a preliminary development plan (PDP) for only Phase 1 of the proposed Pathways at Kensington Farms development. The proposed Phase 1 is composed of 235 detached single-family residential lots and one (1) clubhouse/amenity area on 67.39 acres. No additional phases of the Pathways at Kensington Farms development are proposed to be considered under the subject application. Future phases of the Pathways at Kensington Farms shall be considered under separate, future application(s).
The proposed Pathways at Kensington Farms Phase 1 is identical to the detached, single-family residential character and scope of Phase 1 of the preliminary development plan (Appl. #PL2025-098) for Pathways at Kensington Farms previously considered by both the Planning Commission and City Council and ultimately denied by the City Council on November 18, 2025, due to concerns about higher density residential products that made up Phases 2 and 3 of the development. No concerns were expressed at that time regarding the detached single-family residential Phase 1 component. The subject application omits Phases 2 and 3, which will be considered under future application(s) as previously stated.
Separate from this application, the applicant is in the process of negotiating a land swap, with the City of Lee’s Summit and Raymore-Peculiar School District, along the western portion of the larger Kensington Farms property for the possible development of future park and school sites.
