Title
Public Hearing: Application #PL2018-184 - Rezoning from AG and R-1 to RP-3 and Preliminary Development Plan - Allera, approximately 32 acres located at the southwest corner of SW Pryor Road and SW M-150 Highway; Olsson Associates, applicant.

Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant proposes to rezone 31.473 acres, located at the southwest corner of SW Pryor Rd and SW M-150 Hwy, from AG (Agricultural) and R-1 (Single-Family Residential) to RP-3 (Planned Residential Mixed Use). The proposed Allera subdivision will be a three-phase development composed of 159 single-family lots, and 12 common area tracts.
The 31.473 acre property is currently a mix of 3 un-platted and 2 platted parcels. The platted parcels are currently zoned R-1 (Single-Family Residential), one of which has an existing single-family home. The remaining three un-platted lots are undeveloped with two being zoned R-1 (Single-Family Residential) and one zoned AG (Agricultural).
The proposed Allera development will provide a housing type not currently available in the Lee’s Summit housing market. The new single-family homes will range from 1300-1900 sq. ft. and be priced in the $200-$250k price range. The applicant is proposing to construct these homes on lots that will be a minimum of 38’ x 110’ with a minimum lot area of 4180 sq. ft. The modern two-story homes will be constructed with lap siding, metal/composite roofing and textured siding.
While the RP-3 district allows residential uses ranging from single-family to multi-family, the applicant only proposes to construct single-family homes. All development of this site is tied to the approved plan and any deviation from single-family residential will require a new preliminary development plan approval.
The applicant proposes three modifications. The first modification is to the required minimum lot width of 50’, to allow for a minimum lot width of 38’. The second modification request is to the required minimum 20’ rear yard setback, to allow for a minimum 15’ rear yard setback. The final modification request is the required low impact landscaping screening buffer, to allow for no landscaping screening buffer. Staff supports the modification requests.
- 159 lots
- 12 common area tracts
- 31.473 acres total acres (1,370,963.88 sq. ft.)
- 5.05 units/acre - overall residential density, including common area - 10 units/acre maximum density in the RP-3 district
- 8.98 units/acre - overall residential density, excluding common area
