3. Other New Business
Case No.19015 - 600 Block of Bolivar Street, Preliminary and Final Subdivision Plat of
Jefferson Landing (renamed to Highland Village). Request filed by F&F Development,
property owner, for a Preliminary and Final Subdivision Plat of 7.47 acres consisting of 7
commercial lots. The property is zoned C-2 General Commercial and is located at the Southwest
corner of the intersection of Missouri Blvd and Highway 50/63 and is described as part of Inlots
Nos. 657, 658,661 and 662, Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri ( Central Missouri Profes sional
Services, consultant).
Mr. Zollinger described the proposal and explained that the current zoning for the property is C -2
General Commercial. He pointed out the location of the area which is located at the Southwest
corner of the intersection of Missouri Blvd and Highway 50/63 and is described as part of Inlots
Nos. 657, 658,661 and 662, Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri . 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. He
stated they have change the proposed name from Jefferson Landing to Highland Village to steer
away from any confusion with other locations downtown. Mr. Sampson gave a little more detail on
possible business that could go into the lots and explained the size and location of each lot.
No one spoke in favor of this request.
No one spoke in opposition to this request.
There was no correspondence received on this request.
Mr. Zollinger gave the Planning Division staff report.
Mr. Wade gave the Engineering Division staff report.
Mr. Lester moved and Ms. Cotten seconded to recommend approval of the Final Subdivision Plat
to the City Council, subject to the name change for the plat and subject to the t wo variances
being approved by the Board of Adjustment. 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
