Case No. P15011 — 2301 and 2305 E. McCarty Street, Rezoning from C-2 to RA -1 and
Comprehensive Plan Amendment. (Continued from September 10, 2015). Request filed by
Price Development Company LLC, property owner, John Price, authorized representative, to
rezone 0.49 acres from C-2 General Commercial to RA -1 Multi -family Residential and an
amendment to the development plan map of the Comprehensive Plan to show the property as
High Density Residential. The property is located at the northeast corner of the intersection of E.
McCarty Street and Doehla Drive and is described as lots 18 and 19 of Doehlas Subdivision,
Jefferson City, Missouri.
Case No. P15014 — 2219 E. McCarty Street, Rezoning from C-2 to RA -1. Request filed by
planning division staff to rezone 0.52 acres from C-2 General Commercial to RA -1 Multi -family
Residential. The property is located at the northwest corner of the intersection of E. McCarty
Street and Doehla Drive and is described as lots 1 and 2 of Doehlas Subdivision, Jefferson City,
Missouri.
Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that Case No. P15011 was continued from the
September 10, 2015 meeting in order to pair it with the staff initiated Case No. P15014. He stated
that each case proposes to rezone the properties from C-2 General Commercial to RA -1 Multi-
family Residential. Mr. Barron explained that the development plan map of the Comprehensive Plan
shows the property at 2301 and 2305 E. McCarty Street as commercial and the property is currently
vacant. Mr. Barron explained that the property at 2219 E. McCarty Street is shown as high density
residential on the development plan map, but is zoned C-2 and developed with a residential four-
plex. Mr. Barron explained that the purpose of the requests is to make the property at 2301 and
2305 E. McCarty Street available for multifamily use and to clear up the non -conforming zoning of
the property at 2219 E. McCarty Street.
Mr. John Price, 3120 Arrowhead Drive, New Bloomfield, Missouri, spoke regarding this request
and explained that the he purchased the lot at 2301 and 2305 E. McCarty Street in 2007. He stated
that he later listed the property for sale as commercial. Mr. Price explained that since he has listed
the property there has been no interest for a commercial development. He stated that he has been
approached about potential multi -family residential development of the property, and is seeking a
rezoning to a multi -family residential district in order to make the property available for a buyer
interested in developing the property with duplexes or a 4-plex.
No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received.

center/preschool and parking lot. He explained that a future greenway route is shown across the

with the Parks Department staff regarding the development plan for the property and determined
that there would be sufficient space to locate a future greenway across the site.
Mr. Wade explained that all storm water drainage from the site is proposed to be intercepted with
a series of rain garden/detention areas. He stated that this is proposed to address new storm water
quality requirements that became effective in July 2015.

gardens. He explained that the rain garden's maximum depth is 12 inches and are designed to
percolate the water to prevent standing water. Mr. Oberkrom stated that the rain gardens will be
located outside of the fenced playground areas. He explained that the proposed development will
be a good fit in the existing neighborhood. Mr. Oberkrom stated that there is adequate
ingress/egress off of Truman Boulevard.

this request. Mr. Bates distributed a visual depicting the proposed development. He explained that

amend the text of Chapter 35, Zoning, Section 35-28 Land Use Matrix and Section 35-41 Specific
Use Standards, with respect to the following:

use of the C-2, M-1, and M-2 districts.
3. Establishment of Landfill as a special exception use of the M-1 district.
4. Establishment of composting site as a permitted use in the M-2 district and a special
exception use of the C-2 and M-1 districts.
5. Establishment of specific use standards for composting sites.
The complete text of the amendment is available for review at the Department of Planning and
Protective Services, 320 E. McCarty Street, or may be viewed at the Planning and Zoning
Commission webpage at: www.jeffersoncitymo.gov.
Asphalt Plants
Mr. Barron described that asphalt and concrete plants are often located on quarry sites, which are
a conditional use of the RU district, and staff are proposing to establish asphalt/concrete plants as a
conditional use of the RU district in order to allow the two uses to exist together within that district.
Heavy Equipment Sales
Mr. Barron described that a directors determination was conducted in 2007 regarding heavy
equipment sales. At that time it was determined that such uses are suitable to be permitted in the
C-2, M-1, and M-2 zoning districts. He explained that this amendment would formalize that
determination by incorporating it into the Zoning Code.
Landfill
Mr. Barron described that the existing Allied Waste landfill is zoned M-1, which is a zoning district
where such uses are not permitted. In order to fix the nonconforming nature of the existing landfill,
and recognizing that such uses are suitable for the M-1 district with proper review through the
special exception process, staff are proposing to establish landfills as a special exception use of the
M-1 district.

Composting Sites
Composting sites are not listed within the land use matrix of the Zoning Code. In 2010, a
Director's Determination was conducted in order to establish which districts the use would be
permitted in and what additional standards they would be subject to. This amendment would
incorporate the Director's Determination into the Zoning Code.
Mr. Lester suggested including composting sites as a Conditional Use in the RU Rural Use
zoning district.
Ms. Cotten moved and Mr. Vaughan seconded to recommend approval of the proposed
amendments to the Zoning Code, including the addition of composting sites as a conditional use of
the RU district as suggested by Mr. Lester, to the City Council.

Aye: Cotten, Dutoi, Fitzwater, George, Lester, Vaughan, Yarnell, Wiseman
