S. New Business — Public Hearing
Case No. B16001 — 1200 Block of Monroe Street; Conditional Use Permit and Variance.
Application filed by Capital Region Medical Center, Property Owner, for the following:
1. A Conditional Use Permit to expand an existing off-site parking lot in a residential
district.
2. A Conditional Use Permit to construct an additional off-site parking lot in a residential
district.
3. A Variance of two feet from the maximum fence height of four feet to allow a six feet
tall chain link fence at the front property line.
The property is located on the east side of Monroe Street between Union Street and Stadium
Boulevard and consists of lots 1-7, 26-33, and 58-60 of Morris Subdivision, part of Outlot No.
86, and adjacent vacated public alleys, Jefferson City, Missouri (Central Missouri Professional
Services, Consultant).
Mr. Barron explained that with the new addition to the Capital Region Medical Center and the
displacement of parking because of the construction activities, the hospital has realized there is
a need for additional parking. So Capital Region is proposing to expand an existing parking lot
and also construct a new parking lot. The areas proposed are zoned RS -4 Single Family
Residential and off-site parking lots are a conditional use of the RS -4 district. The existing
parking lot was issued a conditional use permit in 1990 and is proposed to be expanded with a
paved surface. The new parking lot is proposed to be gravel. After six months the hospital will
pave it or remove it as required by the Zoning Code. Mr. Barron also explained that Capital
Region recently constructed a 6' tall chain link fence around their existing parking lots in order to
address security concerns. A variance is necessary in order to accommodate the height of the
fence. Maximum height is 4', so a variance is needed to allow the 6' fence near the street. Also
the Zoning Code has specific requirements for off-site parking lots, which includes the
installation of a Type B bufferyard adjacent to neighboring properties.
Mr. Brian McMillian, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke
representing the applicant. Mr. Martin Grabanski, Director of Facilities for Capital Region and
Jim Wisch, Chairman of the Board for Capital Region were also in attendance. Mr. McMillian
explained that Monroe street will be widened causing the parking on the street to go away. The
existing parking lot will be added to quickly and will be permanent. The temporary lot will be
gravel but will be paved after 6 months. 50 to 60 parking spaces will be displaced so the gravel
lot will have 26 spaces and the new addition will have 40 spaces. These spaces will give
employees of the hospital a place to park.
Mr. Barron gave the staff report of the required findings. He stated they appear to be met. The
area proposed for parking lots is ideal for such a use and the increased height of the fence
would have little effect on the surrounding properties and will increase the security for the
Capital Region parking lots.
Mr. Graham made a motion to approve the proposed Conditional Use Permit to expand an
existing off-site parking lot in a residential district with the following condition: Installation of a
Type B bufferyard adjacent to the neighboring properties. This was seconded by Ms. Young.
The Board voted to pass the motion 5-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Partee, Young, Graham, Hake, Rimiller.
