New Business/Public Hearing Case No. P22009 1200 Block of West Stadium Boulevard, Rezoning from C-O to C- 2 and RA-1 and Final Subdivision Plat. Request filed by Twehous Excavating Company Inc., property owner, for a rezoning of 0.61 acres from C-O Office Commercial to C-2 General Commercial, rezoning 0.22 acres from C-O/C-2 to RA-1, and a final subdivision plat consisting of 4.52 acres proposing three lots. The purpose of rezoning is to establish a zoning designation for a portion of the property which permits veterinary clinics. The property is located 380 feet south of the intersection of West Edgewood Drive and West Stadium Boulevard and is described as Part of the East Half of Northwest Quarter of Section 14, Township Range 44 North, Range 12 West, in the City of Jefferson, Missouri. (Central Missouri Professional Services, Consultant). Ms. Bliss stated the applicant is requesting to rezone three commercial lots from C-O to C-2 and C-O and C-2 to RA-1. The applicant is also requesting approval of the Final Subdivision Plat for the Ridgecrest Section Three. Consultant for property owner Twehous Excavating, Paul Samson, with CMPS, presented the case. Section three of Ridgecrest Subdivision includes three commercial lots ranging from 1.3-1.5 acres. There are no proposed right-of-way’s that will be plotted with this. All lots will have access to W est Stadium Blvd. On the plat, there are two locations where existing driveways will be used for access to the site. Mr. Wade advised storm water drainage and sanitary sewer are already in place for the commercial portion of this subdivision. Sidewalks exist along a portion of Stadium Blvd where developments have occurred and will be required along Stadium Blvd as the lots develop. No infrastructure plans are needed at this time. A drive entrance plan was submitted for review for lots 90 & 91. Stadium Blvd is an existing arterial two-lane roadway with room for a center turn lane in the future. Stormwater quality and erosion control will need to be considered on a lot by lot basis as the remaining lots develop. Street lights and fire hydrants are already in place. Ms. Bliss stated that staff recommends approval of the proposed rezoning and final subdivision plat request. Ms. Cotten moved and Ms. Hawk seconded a motion to recommend approval of the request to rezone the property from C-O to C-2 and C-O and C-2 to RA-1. The motion passed 5-0-1 with the following votes: Aye: Quigg, Cotten, Hawk, Young, and Vogt. Nay: None. Abstain: Markus Ms. Cotton moved and Ms. Vogt seconded a motion to recommend approval of the Final Subdivision Plan for the Ridgecrest Subdivision Section Three. The motion passed 5-0-1 with the following votes: Aye: Quigg, Cotten, Hawk, Young, and Vogt. Nay: None. Abstain: Markus Case No. P22010 – 900 Block of Emily Lane, Voluntary Annexation and Zoning Plan. Request filed by Mark and Julie Gerlach, property owners, for the following: 1. Voluntary annexation of 3.39 acres 2. Approval of a zoning plan for the property to be zoned RA-1 High Density Residential. The property is located 900 feet northwest of the Emily Lane terminus and is described as Part of the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 8, Township 44 North, Range 12 West, in the City of Jefferson, Missouri. (Central Missouri Professional Services, Consultant). Ms. Bliss stated that the property owner has submitted a request to annex the property into city limits of the City of Jefferson with a RA-1 High Density Residential zoning designation. The property owner hopes to utilize city utilities for future development. Mr. Barron advised the role of the Planning and Zoning Commission is to recommend a zoning district for the property upon annexation approval by the City Council. RA-1 zoning would allow up to 4 units per building, multiple units could be put on the property. A preliminary plat will be submitted at a later date with further details on the dead end of Emily Lane. Consultant for property owners Mark and Julie Gerlach, Paul Samson with CMPS, presented the case. The Gerlach’s purchased the property with a goal of multi-family development on the property, similar to the other properties on Emily Lane. Area resident Caroline Bartel at 4679 Tanman Ct, spoke about the request. Ms. Bartel had questions about the plans to extend Emily Lane and tree clearing in the area in relation to the back of her property. Mr. Barron advised there is a creek in the area and city code requires a riparian corridor along major creeks. Mr. Wade advised the minimum riparian area that is required to remain is 25 feet along the creek bank/ordinary high-water mark of the creek. There’s also an additional 35 feet for building setback. All of this would be reviewed during the site plan. Ms. Bliss stated the staff recommends approval of the requested voluntary annexation and zoning plan. Ms. Cotton moved and Mr. Markus seconded a motion to recommend approval of the zoning plan establishing a RA-1 High Density Residential zoning designation for the property upon annexation. The motion passed 6-0 with the following votes: Aye: Quigg, Cotten, Hawk, Markus, Young, and Vogt. Nay: None Case No. P22011 – Algoa Industrial Area; Staff Initiated Rezoning from M-1 (withdrawn by staff) Mr. Barron advised notices were mailed out to property owners in the area. Comments received back inquired if this would raise property taxes and others focused on the history of the area and why the M-1 district was chosen over the M-2. Many of the industrial lots within in the are have deed restrictions on them that only permit the properties to be used as indoor industrial type uses. The city is not responsible for enforcing deed restrictions, but it became apparent to staff that the deed restrictio ns played a heavy part in the decision on what zoning district to apply at the time of annexation in 2003. Because this information was contrary to what was presented last month at the Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting, staff felt it proper to withdra w the case. 7. Other New Business 8. Other Business A. Staff Updates on Prior Cases Mr. Barron advised case P22008 at 309-311 Bolivar Street has been introduced and is going for public hearing at City Council Monday, September 19th. Staff is preparing responses for City Council members that presented questions at the introduction on September 6th. B. CAMPO Active Transportation Plan-Presentation and Discussion Ms. Williams gave a presentation to members about the new Capital Area Active Transportation Plan.

The planning process is expected to be completed by fall 2023. Ms. Williams encouraged everyone to complete the survey and participate in public engagement events.
