Rezoning approximately 1.3 acres generally located at the northeast corner of W. 46th Street and Summit Street from District R-0.5 to District R-0.75, and approving an amendment to a previously approved development plan to allow construction of a 67-unit multi-family structure (14728-P-2 and 14728-P-3)

PLANNING, ZONING & ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE recommends "ADVANCE AND DO PASS, DEBATE"
Patty Noll, City Planning and Development, gave the staff report on the Ordinance. The development plan approved in 2016 proposed construction of a three and four story multi-family residential structure with 67 units. A mix of one, two, and three bedroom units offer a total of 99. The current plan continues to propose 67 units but increases the number of bedrooms to 129. This is possible due to the additional level (four vs. three levels) on Summit Street as well as deletion of a proposed swimming pool. Parking count will simultaneously increase.

A plan by developers Doug Weltner and Bryan Johnson has earned unusually clear support for a 67-unit apartment building just north of the Country Club Plaza.

The Kansas City Plan Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved the 46Summit proposal, buttressed by letters of support from several neighborhood groups. The plan is scheduled to go before the City Council’s Planning & Zoning Committee Wednesday.

Commissioners approved the L-shaped, three-story apartment building on what is now partly vacant land after no one testified against it. That’s a marked difference from several other recent apartment proposals for the Plaza area, one of which was killed by public opposition. Several letters of support were entered into the record.
