He provided an aerial photo of the area. He identified that there are 7.47 acres in the proposed plat and this subdivision is part of the effort to redevelop the Old Saint Mary’s Hospital site. Mr. Zollinger stated there are 7 lots, with two of them having existing buildings on them. One will be used specifically as a driveway to access the rest of the development. The remaining lots will be used for new developable lots. He explained that each lot varied in size and that no new streets will be created. He also noted that a development agreement is currently in place to connect the sidewalk from the intersection of Missouri Blvd and Bolivar Street to the sidewalk along the south side of Bolivar Street. He stated that two lots would not meet the zoning requirements, one due to a rear setback requirement from a proposed lot line and one due to lack of street frontage. He stated th at variances from these zoning code requirements have been applied for and will be heard by the Board of Adjustment on May 14. Mr. Paul Sampson, Central Missouri Professional Services, 2500 E. McCarty Street, spoke regarding this request. He handed out copies of the preliminary and final subdivision plat.

The motion passed 9-0 with the following votes: Aye: Cotten, Lester, Mahoney, Markus, Quigg, Vogt, Yarnell, Deeken, Vaughan 4. New Business/Public Hearings Case No. P19013 – Proposal to rename W. Miller St (Rear) to Courtney Way. Request filed by city staff for the street name change of an alley named W. Miller Street (Rear), from its intersection with Hart Street, 100 feet north of Industrial Drive, to its intersection with W. Miller Street, 300 feet west of Brooks Street. The proposed new name for the alley is Courtney Way. Ms. Nanoski described the proposal and explained the reason behind this request is to avoid conflict with the name of the existing street, W. Miller Street, within the 911 disp atch area and USPS services. She stated The 1908 Sanborn map inspired staff’s choice to rename W. Miller Street (Rear) to Courtney Way. Prior to the construction of Highway 50/63, W. Miller Creek ran perpendicular to Bolivar and Harrison Street. The Courtney Shoe Co, now being redeveloped as a mixed-use building, also sits at this location. Renaming the alley to Courtney Way provides the alley with a valid name and highlights Jefferson City history. No one spoke in favor of this request. No one spoke in opposition to this request. There was one correspondence received on this matter, which was in favor of the name change. Ms. Nanoski gave the Planning Division staff report. Ms. Cotten moved and Mr. Vaughan seconded to approve the request to rename W. Miller Street (Rear) to Courtney Way. The motion passed 9-0 with the following votes: Aye: Cotten, Lester, Mahoney, Markus, Quigg, Vogt, Yarnell, Deeken, Vaughan Case No. P19014 – Zoning Code Text Amendment Pertaining to Medical Marijuana Facilities. Request filed by city staff to amend the text of Chapter 35, Zoning Code, with respect to the following: 1. Establishment of Medical Marijuana Cultivation Facility, Medical Marijuana -Infused Products Manufacturing Facility, and Medical Marijuana Testing Fac ility as permitted uses in the M-1 Light Industrial and M-2 General Industrial districts. 2. Establishment of specific use standards pertaining to Medical Marijuana Facilities. Ms. Nanoski explained that Missouri voters approved Constitutional Amendment 2, in November of 2018, allowing marijuana to be cultivated, processed, and sold for medical purposes. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services are tasked with implementing the provisions of Amendment 2, including licensing, certification, and regulation of medical marijuana facilities. Medical Marijuana Facilities are establishments that cultivate, dispense, manufacture, and test medical marijuana. Local municipalities may enact land use regulations dealing with the location of such facilities. In order to incorporate medical marijuana into the City’s zoning code, Planning Division Staff are going to execute the code amendment in two parts, (1) establish land use regulations for the cultivating, processing, and testing facilities (2) establish lan d use regulations for the retail facility. She stated Medical Marijuana Facilities are divided into four types, in accordance with the Missouri Constitution, as follows: 1. Medical Marijuana Cultivation Facility – an establishment that farms, stores, transports, and sells medical marijuana. 2. Medical Marijuana Testing Facility – an establishment that acquires, tests, certifies, and transports medical marijuana. 3. Medical Marijuana-Infused Products Manufacturing Facility – an establishment that specializes in marijuana-infused products, for example oils, edible products, and waxes. 4. Medical Marijuana Dispensary Facility – a medical marijuana retail establishment. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services proposes that new Medical Marijuana Facilities shall not be within 1,000 feet of any then-existing secondary or elementary school, child day care center, or church. Local municipalities can reduce or eliminate the 1,000 foot separation requirement. She explained that medical marijuana facilities are largely industrial in character, with production and wholesale services being provided. In the M-1 Light Industrial and M-2 General Industrial districts, the following uses, similar in character are permitted: Industrial Manufacturing and Production, Industrial Processing, Industrial Distribution, and thus, M-1 Light Industrial and M-2 General Industrial zoning districts are appropriate zoning designations for a Medical Marijuana Testing Facility, Medical Marijuana-Infused Products Manufacturing Facility, and Medical Marijuana Cultivation Facility. She stated that s taff recommends specific use standards that align with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services 1,000 foot separation between Medical Marijuana Facilities and elementary or secondary sc hools, child day care centers, or churches. No one spoke in favor of this request. No one spoke in opposition to this request. Ms. Joy Sweeney, 2842 Foxdale Drive, spoke on this case. She explained that she would like to make sure that the City of Jefferson is not willing to negotiate on lowering the buffer zone. There was no correspondence received on this case. Ms. Nanoski gave the Planning Division staff report. Mr. Vaughan moved and Mr. Lester seconded to approve the zoning code text amendment pertaining to medical marijuana facilities as presented by staff . Mr. Marcus discussed the different measuring methods and asked that we clarify that in motion. Mr. Vaughan amended his motion to include the DHSS measurement requirement for the 1000 foot buffer method of measurement. Mr. Lester seconded. The motion passed 9-0 with the following votes: Aye: Cotten, Lester, Mahoney, Markus, Quigg, Vogt, Yarnell, Deeken, Vaughan 5. Other Business A.
