Title
Public Hearing: Application #PL2021-485 - Preliminary Development Plan - Furniture Mall of Missouri, 900 NW Blue Parkway; Hive Design Collaborative, applicant.
Body
Issue/Request:
The applicant proposes an exterior renovation for the existing commercial building. A preliminary development plan for the subject property was approved in 2006 as part of the Lee’s Summit East Shopping Center (AKA Summit Fair) commercial development. Proposed renovations to the exterior include the use of a conditional material (corrugated steel siding system). The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) does not allow administrative approval of this material and requires the City Council approve the use of the proposed conditional material.
The applicant also seeks approval of a sign package (23 signs) that exceeds the total number allowed to be administratively approved per previously approved PDP (6 signs).
