The property is located on the west side of South County Club Drive 350 feet north of Old Lohman Road and is described as part of the Southwest Quarter of Section 8 and part of the Northwest Quarter of Section 17, Township 44 North, Range 12 West, Jefferson City, Missouri (Central Missouri Professional Services, Consultant). Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that the applicant intends to develop the property as a single family residential subdivision, and is proposing a rezoning of the property from its current C-1 Neighborhood Commercial designation to RS-2 Single Family Residential in order to proceed with the subdivision platting process. He stated that an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Development Plan map to show the property as intended for low density residential use, rather than its current designation of commercial, is proposed in order to support the plan to develop the property in a single family residential manner. Mr. Brian McMillian, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke regarding this request. Mr. McMillian distributed a visual depicting the area to be rezoned. Mr. McMillian explained that the current property owners intend to sell the property to Mr. Jim Lage.

Request filed by Boys and Girls Club of Jefferson City for a Special Exception Use Permit to operate a Neighborhood Center/Community Activity Building in an RS-2/ RS-4 zoning district. The property is located on the east side of Lafayette Street at the intersection of Franklin Street and is described as part of outlots 26 and 82 and part of vacated Franklin Street right of way. (Central Missouri Professional Services, Consultant). Mr. Barron described the proposal and explained that The Boys and Girls Club of Jefferson City is planning to construct a new facility to replace their old facility located 727 East Elm Street, which was acquired by the Missouri Department of Transportation as part of the Highway 50 / Lafayette Street Interchange project. He stated that the proposed site is on property being transferred to The Boys and Girls Club by Lincoln University, and is located adjacent to the new Parks and Recreation/Lincoln University Wellness and Recreation Center. Mr. Barron explained that the property is zoned single family residential, and is located on the border of an RS-2 and RS-4 district. He stated that rather than pursue a rezoning of the property to a category that permits the use outright, which might establish a district that would conflict with the surrounding community, institutional, and single family uses, a special exception permit for a Neighborhood Center/Community Activity Building is being requested. Mr. Barron explained that the plans consist of a 18,400 square foot two story building. He stated that the building would share a parking lot with the Recreation and Wellness Center, and would gain access via a driveway through the shared parking lot. Councilman Graham explained that in order for The Boys and Girls Club to apply for grants they have to own their own property. He stated that Lincoln University is deeding The Boys and Girls Club this piece of property with the understanding that if they do not decide to build there, the property will revert back to Lincoln University. Mr. Brian McMillian, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke regarding this request. Mr. McMillian distributed a visual depicting the site of the proposed Boys and Girls Club. Mr. McMillian explained that the old facility on East Elm Street was displaced by the new Lafayette Street Interchange. He stated that the original location was proposed at the intersection of Locust Street and E. Atchison Street. Mr. McMillian explained that the opportunity came along for Lincoln University to partner with the City's Parks and Recreation Department at the current site on Lafayette Street. He stated that a separate building for The Boys and Girls Club will be constructed on this site where they can use the gym and recreational facilities but remain as a separate entity. Mr. McMillian explained that there is adequate parking on site for both facilities however overflow parking is available at Jefferson City High School. He stated that peak time parking will be around 6:00 and 7:00 p.m. when parents are arriving to pick up their children. Mr. McMillian explained that the entrance was relocated farther to the southwest where there is better site distance and a well-lighted crosswalk is proposed. He stated that few children will be walking to the facility as most of the children will be bussed there. Mr. Jim Vossen, 826 Boonville Road, spoke regarding this request and mentioned that several students will be walking from Thorpe Gordon to The Boys and Girls Club. He explained that they are also proposing a teen center for high school students. No one spoke in opposition to this request and no correspondence was received. Mr. Barron gave the Planning Division staff report.
