6. New Business/Public Hearings
Case No. P21003– 718 Lafayette Street, Rezoning from RS-4 to N-O. Request filed by The 62nd &
65th Regiments Legacy Foundation, Inc., property owner, to rezone .17 acres from RS-4 Medium
Density Residential to N-O Neighborhood Office. The property is located 250 feet south of the
intersection of E Dunklin Street and Lafayette Street and is described as Lot 9 and part of Lot 8 of Little
and Keyes Subdivision in the City of Jefferson, Cole County, Missouri.
Ms. Lewis stated the property owner is requesting a rezoning of the property, formally a single family
home, in order to accommodate use of the existing structure as an office. The office use would be
minimal, typically consisting of a single person, and the organization is associated with activities at
Lincoln University. She explained permitted uses within the RS-4 and N-O districts are similar, but the
N-O district permits office operations to be conducted within a principal building; whereas the RS-4
district is solely intended for single family residential living and activities.
Jack Markway, 2104 Green Meadow Drive, Vice President of The 62nd & 65th Regiments Legacy
Foundation Inc., presented the case. He stated that the main goal of their foundation is scholarships
for Lincoln University students. He explained that they lost their former location on East Capitol, when
the tornado came through. They ended up moving to a temporary location that did not meet all of their
needs. The location at 718 Lafayette Street became available to them and the purchased it through an
estate. Since the purchase they have cleaned up the property and invested a lot of time and work. He
stated the location would be used as storage space, meeting space and an office.
Carol Tolbert Beavers, 726 Lafayette, asked the Commission if the property was sold in the future
would another zoning or rezoning action be needed? Mr. Barron stated that the zoning will stay with
the property when/if the property is sold. She also asked what the new zoning would mean as far as
alterations of the property. Mr. Barron stated that it would only basically allow the building to be
committed to office use and that a rezoning should not have any bearing on the adjacent lots still being
zoned as residential.
Ms. Lewis stated staff recommends approval of the request to rezone the property from RS-4 to N-O.
The proposed rezoning to Neighborhood Office District will enhance the current use by creating a
space that will benefit the neighboring institution. She stated that the request is intended to increase
educational opportunities within the community without conflicting with the long -term goals of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Cotton announced that she is abstaining from voting on the case. Ms Gampher, alternate, was
designated as a voting member for the case.
Mr. Dutoi moved and Ms. Fretwell seconded to approve the request to rezone the property, consisting
of 0.17 acres, from RS-4 to N-O.
The motion passed 8-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Quigg, Deeken, Dutoi, Fretwell, Record, Butler, Hawk and Gampher
Nay: None
