Prairie Villiage city council voting on changing zoning laws tonight.
The recommendations aim to revise two residential zoning districts to implement best practices for midscale apartments, townhomes and other "missing middle" housing options between single-family homes and dense apartment complexes, she said. The current zoning laws lack a mechanism for small to midscale housing.

Voted unanimously for changes
The Prairie Village City Council voted unanimously Tuesday for changes in zoning that helps the city advocate for and preserve attainable housing.
By revising zoning for the R-2 district (two-family) — like the city's Corinth area — and the R-3 district (garden apartment), he said the committee aims to shift away from density and focus on building form, scale and provisions for small and medium apartments.

Just saw this link on Reddit. Had missed this update but bummer to hear it got amended.

https://shawneemissionpost.com/2022/10/ ... ed-181596/

The amended recommendation now explicitly suggests that the city planning commission exclude multi-family housing units, like duplexes and apartments, from areas of the city already zoned for single-family housing districts.

The city council’s action Monday also completely removes multi-unit houses and courtyard patterns from the housing task force’s first recommendation.

Accessory dwelling units, including small-lot detached single homes, will still be allowed in single-family districts under the revised recommendations.

Maybe the old Jones/ new Macy's could be a haunted house. It's got very little natural light, so it could operate as a fright factory year-round. And the neighborhood has a relatively affluent demographic -- so it could be a high-class house of horrors.

Have anything to do with the ongoing resistance to multi-family housing?

Why is there so much noise about multi-family housing in Prairie Village? Is there even any space in the city that is undeveloped?

It's a city dominated by single-family homes so of course they (SFH owners) are all terrified of apartments. They've had a lot of teardowns, so that adds to the terror. Toss in the Airbnbs and "attainable" discussion and it's pretty scary! /s

When we moved back to KC, Prairie Village was our preference. It was inboard and relatively modest in terms of housing size. But as we searched, we quickly realized that everything in the city that went on the market regardless of quality garnered significant interest from multiple buyers. Never seen that kind of competition before for a home. Our agent was frustrated because we would not bid significantly higher than asking price and told there was no point at looking any further in Prairie Village if we weren't willing to do so.

Further outboard than I had hoped. The market was really tight when we moved back.

City Hall meeting today at 6pm to discuss removing recommendations for more missing middle housing in PV. I see the Stop Rezoning signs everywhere when I'm driving through PV. Should be an interesting one...

https://shawneemissionpost.com/2023/02/ ... ns-193140/
Single-family and ‘by right’ references would be removed:

The amendments, proposed by Councilmembers Dave Robinson and Courtney McFadden, would remove references to single-family zoned districts.
As written, the recommendations urge the adoption of more affordable housing solutions — including duplexes, triplexes and row housing — in all areas of the city, including single-family zoned neighborhoods.
The proposed amendment would remove single-family zones from that discussion.
Likewise, the current recommendations would also allow for homeowners to build projects like accessory dwelling units on their property “by right,” without having to notify their neighbors.
By removing “by right” references, the amended recommendations would essentially make it easier for neighboring homeowners to challenge such projects.
