Body
Issue/Request:
A rezoning and preliminary development plan application was filed with the City in 2016 proposing to rezone 76 acres from AG to R-1 and plat 164 lots, for the Whispering Woods single-family residential subdivision. The application was considered by and subsequently recommended for approval by the Planning Commission on February 14, 2017. The application was considered by and subsequently denied by the City Council on March 2, 2017. The application was reconsidered by and subsequently remanded back to the Planning Commission by the City Council on March 9, 2017. The rezoning and preliminary development plan presented for reconsideration is unchanged from the original submittals.
The applicant proposes to rezone approximately 76 acres located at the northeast corner of SW Pryor Rd and SW Hook Rd from AG (Agricultural) to R-1 (Single-Family Residential). The property is immediately north of Hawthorne Hill Elementary School and west of Lee’s Summit West High School. The proposed Whispering Woods subdivision will be a six-phase single-family residential development composed of 164 lots and 15 common area tracts.
The subject application also includes a preliminary development plan. Preliminary development plans typically do not accompany rezoning applications for R-1 zoning. However, the applicant is requesting one modification to the UDO which can only be granted as part of a preliminary development plan application. A modification is requested to the R-1 minimum rear setback requirement of 30-feet to allow a 20-foot rear setback for Lots 1-4 and Lots 129-144. Staff supports the requested modification.
