Title

Public Hearing: Application #PL2022-431 - Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Amendment - Amendment of Chapter 33, Articles 6 (Use Standards), 8 (Site Standards) and 15 (Rules of Interpretation and Definitions), of the Lee’s Summit Code of Ordinances; City of Lee’s Summit, applicant.

 

Body

Issue/Request:

 

The voters of Missouri approved an amendment to the state constitution legalizing recreational marijuana on November 8, 2022. The City needs to adjust various ordinances to accommodate the legalization, including Chapter 33, the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). New uses have been introduced that required placement in the UDO’s use table. Location controls that require a 1000’ buffer from schools, churches and daycares have not changed with the state legislation.  Rather, the state has better defined how the buffer is measured.
