BECCY. THANK YOU, MAYOR, MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL, BECCY YOCHAM, I´M THE CITY MANAGER.

ITEM 6 IS A REQUEST TO APPROVE AN AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE BARRIER SYSTEM AT A TOTAL COST OF $630,000.

AS NOTED IN YOUR PACKET, THE IMPETUS BEHIND PURCHASING THIS BARRIER SYSTEM NOW IS THE UPCOMING 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP AND THE ANTICIPATED PUBLIC EVENTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE WORLD CUP THAT WILL BE HELD IN LENEXA.

BUT IN ACTUALITY, THESE BARRIERS WILL SERVE THE CITY FOR ALL OF OUR FESTIVALS AND PUBLIC EVENTS FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.

AS YOU KNOW, OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, THE CITY HAS WORKED TO ENHANCE OUR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR EVENTS AND FESTIVALS IN GENERAL, BUT IN PARTICULAR IN LIGHT OF A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS AROUND THE COUNTRY AND THE GLOBE, WE HAVE BEEN FOCUSED IN THOSE SAFETY AND SECURITY MEASURES AT IMPROVING RESISTANCE TO VEHICLE INTRUSIONS INTO OUR FESTIVAL AND EVENT SPACES.

THIS SYSTEM IS A TOOL THAT WILL NOT ONLY FURTHER ENHANCE THOSE EFFORTS, BUT WILL HELP US DO SO REALLY MORE EFFICIENTLY AND MORE EFFECTIVELY.

IT WILL BE UTILIZING A SYSTEM THAT IS SORT OF BEST PRACTICE IN THE INDUSTRY, AND IT DOES MEET FEDERAL SAFETY AND ANTI-TERRORISM STANDARDS.

SO TODAY, FOR EVENTS LIKE THE LENEXA BBQ , WHERE LANE CLOSURES AND THOSE SORTS OF THINGS ARE NECESSARY, WE HAVE TO EMPLOY WATER FILLED PLASTIC BARRIERS THAT REQUIRE HEAVY EQUIPMENT AND MULTIPLE PERSONNEL TO ACTUALLY INSTALL. IN CONTRAST, THIS BARRIER SYSTEM. WELL, THE BARRIERS THAT MAKE UP THIS EACH WEIGH 53 POUNDS AND THEY CAN BE OPERATED BY A SINGLE PERSON WITH NO TOOLS AND INSTALLED INDIVIDUALLY IN 10S EACH.

SO WE FEEL LIKE THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY UPGRADE, BUT AN EFFICIENCY UPGRADE FOR US AS WELL.

IN TERMS OF FUNDING, STAFF PROPOSES TO USE FUNDING FROM THE TOURISM AND CONVENTION FUND, WHICH, AS YOU KNOW, IS FUNDED BY AN 8% TRANSIENT GUEST TAX THAT IS PAID NOT BY OUR RESIDENTS BUT BY VISITORS TO EACH LENEXA HOTEL OR MOTEL ON EACH NIGHT THAT THEY STAY. AND THOSE FUNDS ARE RESTRICTED BY STATE LAW FOR USE IN THE PROMOTION OF TOURISM AND FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PURPOSES. AS YOU ALSO KNOW, BECAUSE OF THE TIGHT RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF TRANSIENT GUEST TAX FUNDS, WE HAVE DEVELOPED SIGNIFICANT RESERVE BALANCE IN THAT FUND.

AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WE HAVE SUFFICIENT FUNDING TO PURCHASE THESE BARRIERS WHICH FIT SQUARELY IN THE SAFETY AND SECURITY AROUND TOURISM TYPE ATTRACTION EVENTS. AND ALSO THE BALANCE THERE IS SUCH THAT IT WILL ALLOW US TO CONTINUE TO MEET ALL OUR OTHER OBLIGATIONS THAT WE HAVE FOR THE TRANSIENT GUEST TAX FUNDS, SO SUFFICIENT FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE.

PAGE 48 OF YOUR PACKET INCLUDES A COUPLE IMAGES OF THE SYSTEM.

THEY CAN BE BRANDED SPECIFICALLY FOR LENEXA. WE DO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE PURCHASE OF THE BARRIER SYSTEM,

[00:05:03]

AT A TOTAL COST OF $630,000, AND BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

AND PERSONNEL FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT ARE AVAILABLE IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SYSTEM.

QUESTIONS ON THE BARRIERS. JOHN MICHAEL. HAVE WE ALREADY IDENTIFIED WHERE WE WOULD BE STORING ALL OF THESE? YES. THEY'LL BE STORED DOWN AT THE JUSTICE CENTER. PERFECT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM 6, THE PURCHASE OF THE BARRIER SYSTEM.

SECOND. MOTION BY CHELSEA. SECOND BY BILL. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? ITEM IS APPROVED. ITEM 9 TONIGHT IS AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND ADOPTING AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY OF LENEXA

[9. Ordinance approving and adopting amendments to the City of Lenexa Comprehensive Plan Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are recommended to refine Future Land Use Map boundaries, correct mapping inconsistencies, and add a new Appendix with Design Considerations for select focus areas.]

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. SCOTT. THANK YOU AND GOOD EVENING, MAYOR AND COUNCIL, SCOTT MCCULLOUGH WITH THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT FOR THE CITY OF LENEXA.

AND I'M HAPPY TO BE BEFORE YOU TONIGHT TO PRESENT SOME AMENDMENTS TO OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

AS YOU KNOW, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS OUR OFFICIAL POLICY GUIDE FOR DEVELOPING THE CITY.

OUR PARTICULAR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LEANS HEAVILY ON VISION 2040 PLAN AND WAS ADOPTED WITH KIND OF A MAJOR UPDATE IN JULY OF LAST YEAR.

SO A LITTLE BIT OVER A YEAR OLD. IT, ALONG WITH THE ZONING STANDARDS AND SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS, HELP GUIDE ALL DEVELOPMENT IN THE CITY. WHY WE MIGHT BE BRINGING THIS FORWARD TONIGHT AS AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, IS THEY ARE TYPICALLY AN OUTCOME OF ANNUAL REVIEWS.

AND WE JUST COMPLETED A CYCLE OF OUR REVIEW OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, EVEN THOUGH IT'S ABOUT A YEAR OLD.

AND AMENDING IT ENSURES ALIGNMENT WITH CURRENT PRACTICES, POLICIES AND NEW INFORMATION WE LEARN ABOUT THE CITY.

AND IT HELPS TO BE CURRENT ON THOSE TO HELP STAFF, THE DECISION MAKERS AND DEVELOPERS AND NEIGHBORHOODS UNDERSTAND WHAT THE EXPECTATION IS.

THE ANNUAL REVIEW PROCESS WE JUST COMPLETED IS A REQUIREMENT OF STATE LAW.

AND AGAIN, TYPICALLY IT BRINGS FORTH SOME AMENDMENTS USUALLY, AND THOSE AMENDMENTS ARE PROCESSED THE SAME WAY THE PLAN INITIALLY IS.

SO IT INCLUDES NOTICE AND A PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

THAT PUBLIC HEARING WAS COMPLETED EARLIER THIS MONTH.

SO ALL COMPREHENSIVE PLANS GENERALLY CONTAIN A SERIES OF MAPS AND NARRATIVE LANGUAGE THAT HELPS IDENTIFY POLICIES, GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENT RELATED ITEMS. OURS IS NO DIFFERENT, AND OUR APPROACH TO AMENDING THE PLAN TOUCHES BOTH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP.

THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER MAPS, BUT THIS ONE IS FOCUSED IN ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP AND THE NARRATIVE.

BECAUSE THIS IS RATHER, IN MY MIND, KIND OF A SMALL AMENDMENT, A SET OF AMENDMENTS COMING FORWARD, PLANNING STAFF AND I TALKED ABOUT THE APPROACH, AND SO WE DECIDED TO CREATE AN APPENDIX TO THE PLAN THAT WOULD HELP US ALIGN OUR FOCUSED REVISIONS FOR THIS PARTICULAR CYCLE. AND SO WE'RE TOUCHING THE MAP AND WE'RE FIXING SOME UNINTENDED ERRORS, SOME MINOR ITEMS ALONG WITH FOUR FOCUS AREAS, A LITTLE BIT LARGER ITEMS THAT I'LL EXPLAIN IN A MOMENT ALONG WITH THIS APPENDIX THAT PUTS FORTH WHAT WE'RE CALLING DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS.

AND I'LL EXPLAIN WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE IN A MINUTE.

SO WE CHOSE THIS APPENDIX ROUTE IN LIEU OF GOING IN TO THE PLAN ITSELF AND DOING SOME THINGS, BECAUSE IT REALLY ALLOWED US TO FOCUS IN ON WHAT'S BEING AMENDED.

AND I'LL SHOW YOU THAT THE MAP POINTS SPECIFICALLY CALLS OUT THOSE PARCELS AND THEN POINTS TO AN APPENDIX.

IT ALLOWS US TO ADD A GLOSSARY TO TRACK AMENDMENTS TO THE PLAN, AND JUST PROVIDES US SOME FLEXIBILITY THAT WE WOULDN'T OTHERWISE HAVE IF WE TRIED TO GO INTO A DOCUMENT. AND OVER TIME, THAT DOCUMENT REALLY GETS KIND OF JILTED AND OUT OF WHACK.

SO THIS ALLOWS THAT INITIAL ORIGINAL PLAN TO BE VERY READABLE.

THIS IS THE PART OF THE APPENDIX. THE APPENDIX ITSELF CONTAINS TWO PARTS.

THIS IS THE TABLE THAT'S GOING TO HELP TRACK AMENDMENTS IN THE FUTURE.

SO THIS IS SETTING UP A TEMPLATE THAT'S JUST GOING TO TRACK, YOU KNOW, WHEN APPROVALS WERE MADE AND THE DESCRIPTION OF WHAT THOSE AMENDMENTS ARE.

AND THESE ARE THE ACTUAL BULLET POINTS OF DESCRIPTION OF WHAT WE'RE AMENDING THIS YEAR.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE SECOND PART OF THE APPENDIX, WHICH IS EACH OF OUR FOUR FOCUS AREAS THAT I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU IN A MOMENT, INCLUDES ONE PAGE OF DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS. AND SO THOSE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS ALL INCLUDE A DESCRIPTION OF

[00:10:03]

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS AREA, ALONG WITH NOTES AND EXPECTATIONS AROUND BUILDING FORM, SITE AND INFRASTRUCTURE, THE BUILDING KIND OF ARCHITECTURE ITSELF, THE LANDSCAPING AND MOBILITY ITEMS FOR THESE AREAS.

AND AS WE PRESENTED THIS TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, A HEALTHY DISCUSSION EMERGED ABOUT WHY ARE WE DOING THIS FOR JUST A CERTAIN SET OF PARCELS? CAN'T WE JUST UTILIZE THE UDZ, OUR ZONING STANDARDS? AND WHILE I AGREE THAT THAT HAS GENERALLY WORKS, THIS YEAR WE FOUND THESE FOUR AREAS TO HAVE SOME UNIQUE CONTEXT, SOME UNIQUE CIRCUMSTANCES. AND OUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REALLY GIVES US IN THE CITY A LITTLE BIT EXTRA OOMPH IN TERMS OF SUPPORT FOR TALKING TO DEVELOPERS EXACTING HIGH QUALITY DEVELOPMENTS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY.

AND SO WE THINK IT'S BENEFICIAL TO HAVE THESE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS IN OUR PLAN.

OTHER CITIES DO IT DIFFERENTLY. SOMETIMES YOU'LL SEE SUBAREA PLANS THAT DO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL.

WE HAVE OUR VERSION OF THAT WITH THE NEW LOOK AT OLD TOWN, FOR EXAMPLE.

IT'S VERY SPECIFIC TO THE PARCEL AND CALLS OUT SOME VERY SPECIFIC DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS.

SO THAT WAS OUR APPROACH. SO GETTING INTO THE SPECIFIC AMENDMENTS THAT WE'RE BRINGING FORTH TO YOU.

THIS AGAIN IS THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP. IT'S THE PLAN THAT CLASSIFIES EVERY PARCEL IN THE CITY WITH A LAND USE CLASSIFICATION.

THIS IS THE KEY THAT IDENTIFIES WHAT THAT LAND USE CLASSIFICATION IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT A CERTAIN PARCEL.

AND SO IT'S HARD TO MAYBE DETERMINE WHAT WE CHANGED HERE.

SO LET ME WALK YOU THROUGH IT HERE QUICKLY. THE LARGEST KIND OF MAP REVISION IS RIGHT HERE, WHERE YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE SUNSET CANYON PROJECT.

WE REVISED THAT BECAUSE AS THE CITY CAPTURED 11 TO 12 ACRES OF NEW PARKLAND, THE SHAPES CHANGED.

AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO BE TRUE TO THE SHAPES OF THESE PROJECTS AS THEY MOVE FORWARD.

SO IF SOMETHING IN ANY GIVEN YEAR IS REZONED TO A DIFFERENT SHAPE, WE'LL FOLLOW UP THAT SAME YEAR WITH A MAP CHANGE AMENDMENT. SO THAT'S ONE EXAMPLE. THEN THERE ARE FOUR AREAS WHERE WE BROUGHT IN A NEW HATCHING WITH THE NOTE HERE TO SEE APPENDIX FOR DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS.

WE THOUGHT THAT FOUR AREAS, AND I'LL WALK YOU THROUGH THOSE AREAS HERE, AT K7 AND K10 ON BOTH SIDES, WHERE IT'S CLASSIFIED FOR BUSINESS PARK. ANOTHER AREA WAS HERE AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF MONTICELLO ROAD AND PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

ANOTHER AREA WAS AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF RIDGEVIEW ROAD AND PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

AND THEN THE AREA. SORRY, RIGHT HERE ALONG 87TH STREET BETWEEN CITY CENTER AND WHAT WILL BE FUTURE RIDGEVIEW ROAD THERE.

SO THOSE ARE THE MAP AMENDMENTS. AND ESSENTIALLY THEY JUST POINT US TO THE APPENDIX WHERE THE NARRATIVE LIES.

SO AGAIN, OUR RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS INCLUDE SOME MINOR AMENDMENTS FILLING IN THE MAP WHERE GIS WASN'T HELPFUL PRIOR. AND HERE'S JUST A CLOSER LOOK AT THE EXAMPLE OF SUNSET CANYON.

SO THIS IS THE EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE MAP. AND THEN THIS IS WHAT IT WILL CHANGE INTO ONCE THE AMENDMENT IS APPROVED.

SO AGAIN, LOOKING AT THE FOCUS AREAS THAT WE'LL TALK ABOUT, I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO, IN ORDER WALK THROUGH 2.I'M SORRY, 02, 3 AND 4 FIRST, BECAUSE THERE WAS ALIGNMENT BETWEEN STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR THOSE THREE AREAS.

I'M GOING TO SPEND A LITTLE MORE TIME ON AREA ONE, WHAT WE'RE CALLING AREA ONE HERE, AND EXPLAIN WHAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION DID WITH THAT RECOMMENDATION. BEFORE WE GET INTO THOSE SPECIFIC AREAS, I'LL REMIND YOU OF THE CORRELATION BETWEEN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND ZONING.

HERE IN THIS COLUMN IS THE FUTURE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION NAME.

SO SUBURBAN DENSITY, MEDIUM DENSITY AND HIGH DENSITY.

THESE ARE ACTUALLY THE DENSITIES THAT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE CLASSIFICATIONS.

SO SUBURBAN DENSITY IS A SINGLE FAMILY THREE AND A HALF DWELLING UNIT PER ACRE LAND USE TYPE.

AND THE RP 1 ZONING HELPS CARRY THAT FORWARD.

RP 2 AT EIGHT UNITS PER ACRE HELPS CARRY FORTH THE MEDIUM DENSITY AND RP 3, 4 AND SOME SPECIAL PURPOSE DISTRICTS ARE THE HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. GENERALLY SPEAKING, YOU WILL FIND CERTAIN ZONING DISTRICTS THAT ARE CONSTRUCTED TO LOWER DENSITIES.

SO DIGGING INTO THIS FIRST FOCUS AREA AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF MONTICELLO ROAD AND PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY IS CURRENTLY HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

[00:15:04]

WE RECOMMEND REVISING THAT TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

IT WOULD, IN EFFECT, LOWER THAT DENSITY FROM 16 UNITS PER ACRE TO EIGHT UNITS PER ACRE.

WE BELIEVE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE AREA AND THE CHARACTERISTICS AND THE ZONING DENSITIES THAT THIS MATCHES THE AREA BETTER.

THE PARK AND TRAIL SYSTEM ARE A NICE DELINEATION BETWEEN THE HIGHER ACTIVITY AREAS WEST OF THE TRAIL AND THE HOUSING TYPES EAST OF THE PARK. AND SO I CAN.

LET ME HIT THIS ONE FIRST. THAT'S REFLECTED HERE, WHERE YOU SEE THE RP 1S, 2S AND 3S SURROUNDING IT.

THE SUBJECT SITE HERE IS NOT YET ZONED TO HIGH DENSITY, EXCEPT FOR THE RP 3, WHICH IS A HIGH DENSITY CATEGORY.

SO MY POINT IS IT DOESN'T HAVE THE ZONING ENTITLEMENTS TO CARRY OUT CONSTRUCTION.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DENSITIES AROUND IT, YOU MIGHT SAY, WELL, RP 3 IS HIGH DENSITY.

WHAT IS THAT DENSITY? IT'S ACTUALLY BEING CONSTRUCTED TO A MEDIUM DENSITY TODAY WITH TOWNHOMES.

SO THE CLIFFS AT WATERCRESS ARE JUST OVER FIVE UNITS PER ACRE IN A TOWNHOME BUILDING FORM.

SO AGAIN, JUST, I THINK SUPPORTING THE RECOMMENDATION TO GO TO MEDIUM DENSITY.

IT TOO CONTAINS DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS IN THE APPENDIX, AND MOST OF THESE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS HAVE TO DO WITH JUST GOOD TRANSITIONS, GOOD BUILDING FORM, BULK SCALE, MASSING OF THAT FORM, CAREFUL RESIDENTIAL ARTICULATION OF A PROJECT.

THE SECOND AREA I'LL TOUCH ON IS THIS AREA ALONG 87TH STREET WEST OF CITY CENTER.

TODAY, IT'S GOT A VARIED CLASSIFICATION IN THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP OF SUBURBAN DENSITY, COMMERCIAL HIGH DENSITY, BACK TO SUBURBAN, BACK TO OFFICE. YOU'RE PROBABLY FAMILIAR WITH THE SILO EXISTS HERE.

THIS IS THE OLD BASEBALL PRACTICE FACILITY. THIS JUST DOESN'T MATCH WHAT OUR DISCUSSIONS WITH THE DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN.

AND IT WAS JUST KIND OF AN OVERLOOK IN OUR MAJOR UPDATE.

WE HAD A LOT OF OTHER THINGS TO LOOK AT THAT TOOK PRIORITY.

THIS ANNUAL REVIEW GAVE US PAUSE TO LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER AT SOME OF THESE OTHER AREAS.

SO WE RECOMMEND THAT. AND I'LL NOTE THAT RIDGEVIEW ROAD HERE IS A PLANNED ALIGNMENT TO HIT 87TH STREET.

WE RECOMMEND CLASSIFICATIONS THAT ARE MORE APPROPRIATE IN OUR MIND FOR 87TH STREET.

I WILL NOTE THAT THIS AREA HERE IS OWNED BY ONE FAMILY.

THE MAJORITY OF IT IS CLASSIFIED FOR SUBURBAN DENSITY SINGLE FAMILY USES.

IT'S A LARGE AREA IN THE GREAT PART OF THE CITY, SURROUNDED OR WITH CLOSE PROXIMITY TO CITY CENTER.

IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE CITY, IN MY OPINION, AND I THINK CONTEXTUALLY, THOUGH IT MAKES SENSE TO LAY OUT LAND USES THAT HAVE MEDIUM DENSITY HERE. SOME NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL, MORE COMMERCIAL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF RIDGEVIEW, AND THEN SOME MIXED USE, WHICH COULD BE APARTMENTS AT 16 UNITS PER ACRE, COULD BE INSTITUTION, COULD BE MEDICAL, COULD BE A NUMBER OF THINGS.

THE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS HERE RELATE TO, EVEN THOUGH ITS APARTMENTS ARE ALLOWED IN MIXED USE, WE DON'T WANT IT TO BE ALL APARTMENTS, SO WE'VE GOT SOME LANGUAGE IN HERE THAT ARE TALKING ABOUT COMMERCIAL ALONG RIDGEVIEW AND NOT DOING EVERYTHING BUT APARTMENTS.

I SAY THAT BECAUSE APARTMENTS ARE A HOT MARKET TOPIC RIGHT NOW.

SO THESE FIRST TWO AREAS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION AGREED WITH OUR RECOMMENDATION AND RECOMMENDS THOSE TO YOU.

THE THIRD AREA I WILL COVER, WHICH IS AREA FOUR ON THE PLAN.

BOTH SIDES OF THE ELBOW OF K7 AND K10 HIGHWAY.

WE ARE NOT RECOMMENDING CHANGING THE LAND USE CLASSIFICATION.

WE WANT TO MAINTAIN IT AS BP 2. WE THINK THAT MAKES GOOD SENSE WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE TWO STATE HIGHWAYS AND THE ARTERIAL STREET SYSTEM THAT IS PLANNED FOR THE AREA. BUT SINCE THE PLAN WAS APPROVED, WE'VE HEARD REALLY FROM BOTH SIDES ON NEIGHBORHOODS WITH CONCERN FOR SEMI-TRUCK TRAFFIC. AND SO WE BELIEVE THAT OUR POLICY DOCUMENT, THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, SHOULD INCLUDE POLICIES RELATED TO THAT.

AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS, WE TALK ABOUT USES THAT MINIMIZE THE NUMBER OF LOADING DOCKS AND SEMI TRUCK TRIPS.

WE PRETTY BOLDLY TALK ABOUT THAT LARGE SCALE DISTRIBUTION, FREIGHT FACILITIES ARE NOT APPROPRIATE FOR THE AREA.

BUT THAT IS NOT TO SAY WE WON'T HAVE SEMI TRUCKS LANDING IN THIS AREA, BECAUSE WE WILL AND WE SHOULD.

AND THEY COME WITH ALL KINDS OF LAND USES, NOT JUST BUSINESS PARK TYPE OF LAND USES.

[00:20:05]

AND SO WE REVIEWED THIS WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THEY RECOMMEND THIS CHANGE TO YOU AS WELL.

SO THE AREA THAT WE HAD THE LONGEST DISCUSSION ON WAS HERE AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF RIDGEVIEW ROAD AND PRAIRIE STAR PARKWAY.

IT IS NOTED AS HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. WE RECOMMENDED TAKING THAT DOWN TO MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL.

WE THOUGHT IT WAS A BETTER CHARACTER FOR THE AREA, AS NORTH OF PRAIRIE STAR ALONG RIDGEVIEW IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT CHARACTER.

WHAT YOU SEE HERE IN SUBURBAN DENSITY IS STILL THAT SAME AREA I WAS TALKING ABOUT UP ON 87TH STREET.

IT'S ALL PART OF ONE LARGE COUPLE HUNDRED ACRES WORTH OF UNDEVELOPED TO DATE PROPERTY.

RIDGEVIEW ROAD WILL ACTUALLY BE REALIGNED AND CURVE START CURVING WEST HERE.

AND SO WE HAD SOME, I THOUGHT GOOD REASONS TO SUGGEST THAT THIS GO TO MEDIUM DENSITY.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S DISCUSSION REALLY DOVE A LITTLE DEEPER INTO THE CONTEXT OF THE AREA ALONG THE EASTERN SIDE.

AND THEY ALSO KIND OF DREW ON THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH THE ENTITLEMENT PROCESS HERE.

THIS ONE IS DISTINGUISHED FROM THE ONE AT MONTICELLO IN ONE WAY THAT IT ALREADY HAS RP 4 ZONING AND ACTUALLY HAD A PLAN APPROVED THAT HAD EXPIRED.

AND SO THE PLANNING COMMISSION, MOST OF THEM LIVED THROUGH THAT AND KNEW VERY WELL THAT THERE IS A PLAN THAT THEY BELIEVE WORKS HERE IN OUR P4 ZONING DISTRICT AT A HIGHER DENSITY. IF ARCHITECTURE IS WELL THOUGHT OUT, IF THE BUFFER AND LANDSCAPING ALONG THE NORTH SIDE IS WELL MAINTAINED AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. AND THEY LOOKED AT THIS AREA.

PRAIRIE CREEK APARTMENTS LIE TO THE EAST. AND BY THE WAY, THIS AREA IN TURQUOISE HERE INCLUDES A BIT HERE OWNED BY THESE ARE DIFFERENT OWNERSHIP GROUPS AND DIFFERENT ZONING TODAY. BUT PRAIRIE CREEK APARTMENT LIES TO THE EAST.

THEY ARE ZONED RP 3. A PORTION OF IT IS CLASSIFIED APPROPRIATELY AS MEDIUM DENSITY.

I'M EMBARRASSED TO SAY THAT THE REST OF IT IS NOT.

IT'S ERRANTLY CLASSIFIED AS SUBURBAN DENSITY.

NEXT YEAR'S AMENDMENTS, WE WILL PROBABLY INCLUDE THIS AS A MAP CHANGE TO GO TO MEDIUM DENSITY.

AND I SAY MEDIUM DENSITY BECAUSE WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DENSITIES HERE, IT'S STILL VERY LOW DENSITY.

IT'S ALMOST SUBURBAN DENSITY RESIDENTIAL. BUT IT IS ZONED AND BUILT DIFFERENTLY.

THE DISCUSSION AT THE PLANNING COMMISSION AFTER AS THEY LOOKED AT THE CLASSIFICATION, THERE WAS CONSENSUS THAT THE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS ARE REALLY WHAT'S DRIVING THIS PARTICULAR AREA. AND THOSE INCLUDE, AGAIN, LANGUAGE THAT WOULD GO TO THE BUFFERING TO THE NORTH, ARCHITECTURE THAT'S COMPATIBLE WITH THE SAME KINDS OF ARCHITECTURE IN THE AREA.

TRYING TO GET IT A HIGH QUALITY RESIDENTIAL PROJECT TO SPEAK TO THAT CORRIDOR.

SO AFTER THE INITIAL PROJECT THAT GOT IT REZONED RP 4 EXPIRED, WE SAW A COUPLE DIFFERENT ITERATIONS THAT LOOKED A LOT MORE LIKE THE ALTO APARTMENTS TO THE SOUTH.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A DISTINCTION BETWEEN THAT. WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT KIND OF ARCHITECTURE WITH PARKING STRUCTURES AND THOSE KIND OF THINGS FIT VERY WELL ON THE NORTH SIDE OF PRAIRIE STAR. THAT'S WHAT'S DRIVING THE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS.

SO AT THE END OF THEIR DISCUSSION, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDS TO KEEP THE HIGH DENSITY CLASSIFICATION, BUT WITH THESE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS. AND WITH THAT, THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

STAFF IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE MODIFICATION FROM STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO RETAIN HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL AT THAT SITE WITH THE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS.

AND THESE ARE YOUR ACTION OPTIONS TONIGHT AND MAYOR, I AM HAPPY TO CONCLUDE AND ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

SO IF I COULD GO BACK JUST FOR A MOMENT, BECAUSE WE TALKED ABOUT ALL OF THESE IN PRETTY GREAT DETAIL BEFORE THEY WENT TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

WERE WE EARLY RECOMMENDING THE LOWER DENSITY ON THE FINAL AREA THAT YOU SHOWED? BECAUSE WE BELIEVED THAT THAT LOWER DENSITY WAS NEXT TO IT.

POTENTIALLY. I THINK WE WERE THINKING THAT THIS WAS SORT OF A STEPPING APPROACH, NOT KNOWING THAT THAT SUBURBAN WASN'T THERE.

I THINK POTENTIALLY. AND THAT'S PART OF THE EMBARRASSMENT OF NOT BRINGING THAT FORWARD EVEN IN THIS ANALYSIS.

OKAY. AND SO THAT WAS ALSO PRETTY WEIGHING ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S MINDS.

GOT IT. MAYOR, IF I COULD. I THINK THE OTHER PART OF THAT WAS THAT THIS SITE ALREADY IS FULLY ZONED FOR RP 4, AND AT LEAST FROM STAFF'S PERSPECTIVE, OUR RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH SEEING PLANS THAT WE DID NOT FEEL FIT THE

[00:25:07]

ARCHITECTURALLY SENSITIVE CONTEXT OF THE AREA WAS SORT OF WHAT DROVE US TO RECOMMEND, YOU KNOW, DOWNGRADING IT FOR WHATEVER. THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT WORD, BUT.

BUT INCORPORATING THOSE DESIGN CONTEXTS TO US IS A GOOD COMPROMISE THAT SORT OF ACHIEVES BOTH AIMS, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. I WAS JUST TRYING TO REMEMBER THE HISTORY. QUESTIONS ON COMP PLAN OR THIS ITEM IN GENERAL? BILL. ON THIS LAST ONE, YOU KNOW, THAT APPROVED PLAN WAS FOR ELDERLY. YEAH? WASN'T IT FOR SENIOR HOUSING? YES. AND TO MY MIND RP 4 FOR SENIOR HOUSING, YOU KNOW, RETIREMENT VILLAGE IS, IN MY MIND, A LOT LESS INTENSE THAN JUST RP 4 APARTMENTS, WHICH COULD BE.

AND STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT.

HOW COMFORTABLE ARE YOU WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION THAT GOES AGAINST YOURS? WELL, AGAIN, BECAUSE WE HAD A GOOD DISCUSSION ABOUT THE DESIGN CONSIDERATION BOLSTERING A HIGH QUALITY PROJECT AT THAT SITE, I'M NOW COMFORTABLE WITH THIS COMPROMISE. YOU KNOW, YOU MENTIONED DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS ON ALL OF THESE. DO WE HAVE THAT SAME KIND OF CONSIDERATION WITH CITY CENTER ITSELF? YES. I MEAN, ISN'T THAT A SEPARATE THAT WHEN SOMETHING COMES IN, WE PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO IT.

AND SO THAT WOULD BE SIMILAR TO THIS AND EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU'VE CHATTED ABOUT TONIGHT? YES. IT'S A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A LAYER OF GUIDELINES.

WE HAVE ARCHITECTURAL AND DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR CITY CENTER, THE WHOLE OF CITY CENTER THAT WE REVIEW EVERY PROJECT IN CITY CENTER AGAINST.

ON THE 87TH STREET ITEM, I DON'T KNOW. WHAT NUMBER WAS THAT? THREE? THREE. GO THROUGH THOSE, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE.

THOSE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS ON THAT ONE, PLEASE.

SURE. SO FROM. IF I CAN READ THEM. FROM A BUILDING FORM, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE HIGHER INTENSITY USES ESTABLISHED EAST OF RIDGEVIEW ROAD. THIS WEST OF RIDGEVIEW ROAD WAS IS INTENDED TO BE A KIND OF A STEP DOWN OR TRANSITION TO ESTABLISH SINGLE FAMILY.

SO WE'RE DOING LOOKING AT NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL USES, MEDIUM DENSITY AND THEN SUBURBAN DENSITY HERE.

SO THAT'S THE FIRST BULLET THAT MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT SHOULD INCLUDE A TRUE MIX OF USES, NOT JUST A SINGLE USE LIKE MULTIFAMILY.

IT'S NOT A TICKET TO APARTMENTS LINING UP FROM RIDGEVIEW TO CITY CENTER.

SO THAT WAS CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT. ORGANIZED USES TO CREATE A LOGICAL TRANSITION.

I TALKED ABOUT THAT A MOMENT AGO. ESTABLISHING COMMERCIAL OR RETAIL OFFICE USES AT THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST CORNERS OF RIDGEVIEW.

WE REALLY WANT TO ENCOURAGE DOUBLE FLANKING BOTH SIDES OF RIDGEVIEW ROAD WITH NONRESIDENTIAL USES.

JUST TYPICAL. AND THEN WE GET INTO PROVIDING INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT.

WHAT WE MEAN THERE IS YOU KNOW, HIGHLY PEDESTRIAN ORIENTED, LOTS OF CONNECTIONS AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.

ALIGNING FUTURE RIDGE ROAD IN A MANNER THAT SUPPORTS THE VARIETY OF USES.

WE'RE LOOKING AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT ALIGNMENTS FOR RIDGEVIEW ROAD.

WE HAVEN'T SETTLED ON ONE YET, BUT THAT'S KIND OF A WORK IN PROGRESS.

SCOTT, DO THEY ALL LINE UP WITH SHAWNEE MISSION PARK? YEAH, ESSENTIALLY. THERE MAY BE SOME MOVEMENT.

WE JUST HAVEN'T REALLY LANDED ON IT, BUT ESSENTIALLY, YES.

ENCOURAGE THE VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL MIXING OF USES, ESPECIALLY ALONG 87TH STREET.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A FINITE RESOURCE WITH CITY CENTER.

AND I THINK WE ALL CAN AGREE THAT WE WISH WE HAD MAYBE EVEN A LITTLE BIT MORE.

AND THIS COMPLEMENTS IT. IT'S SUPPOSED TO COMPLEMENT IT.

[00:30:04]

IN MY OPINION, BECAUSE OF THE USES ACROSS THE STREET NORTH OF 87TH STREET, IT CAN TAKE ON A LITTLE MORE INTENSITY AND ACTIVITY.

AND SO THAT'S PART OF OUR THINKING HERE WITH SOME OF THESE CONSIDERATIONS.

ENSURE THAT THE BUILDING MASSING CLOSEST TO SINGLE FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS IS REDUCED.

STEPPING IT DOWN AS IT GOES WEST, ESPECIALLY WEST OF RIDGEVIEW ROAD.

ENHANCING LANDSCAPING, SCREENING AND BUFFER TRANSITIONS BETWEEN DIFFERENT USES.

INTEGRATING PEDESTRIAN PLAZAS, STREETSCAPES, RESILIENT SPECIES, THOSE KIND OF THINGS THAT GO WITH MIXED USE AREAS AND INCLUDING CONTINUOUS SIDEWALKS, MIXED USE TRAILS AND THE LIKE TO CONNECT TO CITY CENTER AS THIS AREA DEVELOPS.

YEAH, I THINK THIS IS IN CITY CENTER'S SPHERE OF INFLUENCE, IF YOU WILL.

WHEN WE START TALKING ABOUT DENSITY AND 16 UNITS, DO WE CALCULATE THAT ON THE WHOLE MIXED USE OR JUST ON THE, I'LL SAY APARTMENT PART FOOTPRINT? I HATE TO SAY IT DEPENDS, BUT THE CODE TREATS IT A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF ZONING THEY COME IN FOR, WHETHER IT'S A PUD. GENERALLY, IT'S A GROSS AREA.

SO IF WE GET A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT FOR THIS SQUARE, FOR EXAMPLE, IT'S THE AREA OF THAT SQUARE INTO THE DWELLING UNITS OF THE PROJECT. SO IT'S A GROSS CALCULATION.

YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS. COURT.

SCOTT, THE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS THAT WE'RE PUTTING IN PLACE.

DOES THAT SUPERSEDE ANYTHING THAT COULD BE BY RIGHT WITHIN RP 4? SO IF SOMEBODY COMES TO US WITH AN HIGH DENSITY PROJECT THAT DOESN'T MEET THE DESIGN CONSIDERATION DOCUMENT, THEN IS THAT SOMETHING WE CAN REJECT SOLELY BASED ON WHETHER IT MEETS GOLDEN OR NOT? SO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN IS A GUIDE FOR US. SO THERE'S NO STRICT ADHERENCE THAT A DEVELOPER HAS TO LIVE BY TO MAKE AN APPLICATION. AND THERE'S NOT STRICT ADHERENCE THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION OR THE GOVERNING BODY HAS TO MAINTAIN IN DECIDING SOMETHING.

BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO NOT ADHERING, IF IT'S BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAVE HERE, OR MAYBE A DIFFERENT APPROACH. GREAT. LET'S TAKE THAT FORWARD.

IF IT'S NOT BETTER OR GOES A DIFFERENT DIRECTION THAT ISN'T SUPPORTED BY THE POLICIES, THEN WE HAVE GOOD SUPPORT TO RECOMMEND MAYBE DENIAL OF THAT PROJECT.

OKAY, I GUESS MY ONLY CONCERN IS I FEEL LIKE MAYBE WE HAD OURSELVES CONVINCED THAT THIS WAS MEDIUM DENSITY AFTER THE LAST DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAD, ESPECIALLY WITH THE PRAIRIE CREEK BEING ALMOST LOW DENSITY.

AND THEN WE NOW ARE SITTING ON AN RP 4 AND COULD POTENTIALLY BE SITTING AT 16 UNITS PER ACRE, WHEN I THINK WE HAD COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MAYBE HAVING MEDIUM DENSITY WAS THE BETTER FIT THERE.

SO EVEN IF WE PUT THIS ON THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IN THIS WAY, IT'S STILL ZONED RP 4 AND THEY'LL STILL HAVE TO COME BACK AND REZONE IT EVEN IF SOMEBODY ADHERED TO THE MEDIUM DENSITY.

CORRECT? OR THEY CAN ACTUALLY BUILD UNDER. THEY CAN BUILD UNDER.

OKAY. YEAH. THERE'S A LOT OF WHAT IF YOU KNOW, SCENARIOS THERE.

BUT THEY COULD BUILD UNDER DENSITY. OKAY. GOOD.

I THINK I'M GOOD. OKAY. ANYBODY DOWN HERE? GOOD? OKAY. SO I'M NOT HEARING THAT WE ARE MAKING A MOTION TO CHANGE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION, RIGHT? OKAY. SO I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE AS RECOMMENDED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION.

MOTION PASSES. THANK YOU, SCOTT. ITEM NUMBER 10 IS AN APPROVAL OF ADDENDUM ONE TO THE ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH FINKLE+WILLIAMS

[10. Approval of Addendum One to the architectural/engineering services agreement with Finkle+Williams, Inc. for Phase 3 design services for the construction of Fire Station 6 This addendum to the existing agreement with Finkle+Williams, Inc. approves Phase 3 design services to begin creating the architectural construction documents for Fire Station 6.]

FOR PHASE 3 DESIGN SERVICES FOR CONSTRUCTION OF FIRE STATION 6.

TODD.

[00:35:03]

OKAY, I'M ALL SET. THANK YOU, MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

TODD PELHAM, I'M THE DEPUTY CITY MANAGER AND ALSO PROJECT MANAGER FOR FIRE STATION 6.

TONIGHT WE ARE BRINGING FORWARD FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, AN ADDENDUM TO THE CURRENT AGREEMENT THAT YOU APPROVED ALL THE WAY BACK IN OCTOBER OF 2024 FOR DESIGN AND ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR WHAT WE AT THAT TIME, DIVIDED THAT UP INTO WHAT WE CALLED THREE PHASES.

AND PHASE 1 OF THOSE DESIGN SERVICES WITH FINKLE+WILLIAMS WAS FOR THE RELOCATION OF THE LIVEWELL EMPLOYEE HEALTH CLINIC.

WE'RE HAPPY TO SAY THAT THOSE DELIVERABLES ARE COMPLETE AND WE'LL BE MOVING INTO THAT SPACE HERE PROBABLY THE 1ST OF JANUARY.

SO THE SECOND PHASE OF THAT CONTRACT, AND WHAT WE TALKED TO YOU JUST RECENTLY IN OCTOBER, WAS THE.

WE BROUGHT FORWARD THE MASTER PLAN FOR THE FIRE STATION 6.

THAT MASTER PLAN RECOMMENDED A NEW BUILD CONCEPT FOR THE FIRE STATION 6.

AND AS YOU REMEMBER, THOSE MASTER PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDED SPACE NOT ONLY FOR THE FIRE STATION, BUT ALSO FOR OUR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT.

IT ALSO LOOKED AT THE FUTURE SITE PLANNING FOR THE ENTIRE SITE.

IT ALSO LOOKED AT THE CAPITAL AND OPERATIONAL COST FOR THAT NEW BUILD CONCEPT.

THE DIRECTION THAT STAFF RECEIVED AT THAT TIME WAS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT NEW BUILD CONCEPT AND CONSTRUCT A 27,250 SQUARE FOOT, THREE BAY FIRE STATION WITH A RESIDENTIAL COMPONENT.

BUT IT WOULD ALSO HOUSE THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT AT ABOUT 3000FT² WITHIN THAT BUILDING.

ALSO, AS WE ENDED OUR DISCUSSION, WE ALSO TALKED ABOUT THE COUNCIL'S DESIRE TO BRING FORWARD THIS CONTRACT IN AN ACCELERATED FORMAT. SO TONIGHT WE ARE BRINGING THAT FORWARD FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION FOR TWO REASONS.

ONE IS REALLY THE PROTECTION AGAINST PRICE ESCALATION AND THE $28 MILLION KIND OF TOTAL BUDGET THAT WE SHOWED YOU.

WE ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING AT PROBABLY EIGHT, ALMOST 12 MONTHS BEFORE THIS IS ACTUALLY BID.

SO THERE'S ABOUT A 2% PRICE ESCALATION FOR EVERY QUARTER THAT WE DON'T GET THIS BID.

OKAY? SO BY BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND GETTING THAT DESIGN PROCESS, WHICH WE THINK IS GOING TO TAKE ABOUT EIGHT MONTHS TO COMPLETE, THAT JUST ACCELERATES OUR TIMETABLE TO GET INTO THE FACILITY.

THE SECOND PART OF THAT IS, AND SOME WE TALKED TO YOU ALSO ABOUT, IS THE CURRENT OPERATIONAL COST OF MAINTAINING THE OLD CITY HALL BUILDING.

AND THE FASTER THAT WE KIND OF BRING THAT FACILITY DOWN AND DEMO THAT, THE QUICKER WE CAN REDUCE SOME OF OUR CURRENT UTILITY COSTS THAT WE ARE SPENDING ON THAT FORMER FACILITY. SO WITH THAT, WE HAVE BEEN IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH FINKLE SINCE OUR LAST MEETING IN OCTOBER.

WE'RE BRINGING FORWARD A DESIGN CONTRACT FOR CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR FIRE STATION 6 THAT INCLUDES SEVERAL OTHER SUBCONSULTANTS WITHIN THAT NUMBER.

HENDERSON ENGINEERING FOR ONE. ALSO A SPECIALTY FIRE STATION CONSULTANT OUT OF WASHINGTON STATE THAT WILL ALSO BE ON THE TEAM THAT SPECIFICALLY WORKS IN THE PUBLIC SAFETY REALM AND HAS BUILT OVER 500 FIRE STATIONS BEFORE.

SO REALLY A GREAT SPECIALTY ARCHITECTURAL FIRM THAT WILL BE ON THE TEAM.

SO WITH THAT, WE'VE NEGOTIATED A FEE OF $2.4 MILLION THAT YOU'LL SEE HERE IN YOUR BRIEFING MATERIALS.

TYPICALLY THAT FEE IS NEGOTIATED FEE BETWEEN 8% AND 10% OF YOUR CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

SO YOU KIND OF DO THE MATH OFF OF THAT. IT'S ALSO BASED ON THE SPECIALTY, THE KIND OF THE TYPE OF BUILDING THAT YOU'RE BUILDING.

SO WE THINK THAT'S AN APPROPRIATE FEE. WE'RE EXCITED TO WORK AGAIN WITH FINKLE+WILLIAMS, WHO IS A LOCAL ARCHITECTURAL FIRM THAT WE DO HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH.

THEY WERE SELECTED IN A COMPETITIVE PROCESS FROM TEN FIRMS THAT SUBMITTED.

AND FINKLE+WILLIAMS WAS SELECTED ARCHITECT FOR THIS PROJECT.

SO WITH THAT WE'LL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. BUT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION IS TO MOVE FORWARD FOR THESE PHASE 3 SERVICES FOR THE DESIGN OF THE FIRE STATION SIX. QUESTIONS FOR TODD? BILL.

I THINK I BROKE MY MICROPHONE. NOPE. THERE IT IS.

STUBBY FINGERS. I KNOW THIS WAS MENTIONED THE LAST TIME WE TALKED ABOUT THIS, AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE LEFT IT, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE LOSING THE FOUNTAIN.

AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A CORNER, ALMOST LIKE WELCOME TO LENEXA.

[00:40:04]

COMING OFF THE HIGHWAY GOING WEST. WE'RE MOSTLY WEST.

I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE SOME KIND OF CONSIDERATION OF.

AND I DON'T HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS, BUT NOT JUST A BUILDING, BUT SOMETHING THAT.

ALMOST LIKE A LANDMARK, YOU KNOW? GO TO THE GREEN FOUNTAIN SPINACH WEEK OR GO TO THE PINK FOUNTAIN IN OCTOBER KIND OF THING THAT BECOMES A SHORTHAND OF WHATEVER THIS FEATURE, WHICH I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WILL BE, IS, BUT I THINK WE SHOULD CONSIDER THAT KIND OF THING. AND NOT JUST SOMETHING TO STICK IT ON A BUILDING.

IT'S GOT TO WORK WITH IT. AND WE GOT GOOD, SMART, CREATIVE PEOPLE.

BUT I SURE HOPE WE THINK ABOUT THAT KIND OF THING.

NO QUESTION. JUST THANK YOU. OKAY. GOT THAT, ELLEN? OKAY. OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONTRACT. WORTH NOTING, JUST FOR THE RECORD, THAT THE FIRE STATION ITSELF DOES NOT GET APPROVED UNTIL THE CIP PROCESS IN JANUARY. THIS ONLY APPROVES FINKLE+WILLIAMS TO GET STARTED ON DESIGN PROCESS SO THAT WHEN A CIP IS APPROVED, WE´LL BE READY TO START WORKING ON GETTING BIDS AND REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF COSTS THAT WE HAVE IN THE PROJECT.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO APPROVE ADDENDUM ONE TO THE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES FOR FINKLE+WILLIAMS FOR PHASE 3, FOR FIRE STATION 6. MOTION BY COURTNEY, SECOND BY MARK.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU, TODD. ITEM 11 IS APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT WITH THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF JOHNSON COUNTY AND THE CITY OF OVERLAND PARK TO FUND AND

[11. Approval of an agreement with the Board of County Commissioners of Johnson County and the City of Overland Park to fund and operate a pilot express bus transit line connecting Kansas City International Airport to Lenexa City Center and the Overland Park Convention Center, coinciding with the 2026 FIFA World Cup In partnership with Johnson County and the City of Overland Park, the City is planning to test an express bus route connecting Kansas City International Airport with Lenexa City Center and the Overland Park Convention Center, timed to coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The route was awarded federal grant funds through the Mid-America Regional Council, with matching funding coming from Johnson County, the City of Overland Park, and the City of Lenexa. The City's planned contribution is $200,000. ]

OPERATE A PILOT EXPRESS BUS TRANSIT LINE CONNECTING KANSAS CITY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO LENEXA CITY CENTER AND THE OVERLAND PARK CONVENTION CENTER, COINCIDING WITH THE 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP. MIKE.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. THANK YOU, CITY COUNCIL. I WANTED TO BRING THIS BACK ON OLD BUSINESS FOR YOU ALL TONIGHT TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF AN UPDATE ABOUT MORE WORLD CUP THINGS, BUT THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR. IT'S BEEN ABOUT A YEAR SINCE THE COUNTY APPROACHED US IN THE CITY OF OVERLAND PARK TO CREATE A PARTNERSHIP THAT WOULD FUND A PILOT PROGRAM TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT A RAPID EXPRESS ROUTE FROM THE AIRPORT TO A COUPLE OF SITES IN OUR COMMUNITIES WOULD BE VIABLE FOR A LONG TERM OPTION FOR PEOPLE TO GET TO AND FROM THE AIRPORT WITHOUT HAVING TO DRIVE UP THERE OR GO PAY FOR PARKING. AND THUS IS BORN THE JOHNSON COUNTY UNITED AIRPORT DROP AND RIDE.

NOT PARK AND RIDE, AND I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT HERE IN A SECOND.

LIKE I SAID, IT'S A MULTI-JURISDICTIONAL PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN OUR THREE ENTITIES.

AND NOT ONLY IS IT FOR THAT LONG TERM LEGACY PROJECT THAT I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT WITH WORLD CUP FESTIVITIES AND HOW WE CAN USE THAT TO LEVERAGE ONGOING THINGS. BUT IT'S ALSO TO SUPPORT THE EASE OF TRAVEL FOR THE WORLD CUP.

OBVIOUSLY, THE OVERLAND PARK CONVENTION CENTER IS IN AND AROUND A LOT OF HOTELS, AND SO IS LENEXA CITY CENTER.

WE'VE GOT ONE UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET, IN ADDITION TO THE TWO THAT ARE HERE TODAY.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT MADE OUR TWO SITES KIND OF ATTRACTIVE FOR THE COUNTY TO APPROACH US TO PARTNER ON THIS PILOT PROJECT.

SOME OF THE PARTICULARS OF THE AGREEMENT. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE AN ONGOING THING.

THIS IS FOR A LIMITED DURATION. THE JOHNSON COUNTY TRANSIT AUTHORITY ACTUALLY APPLIED FOR A FEDERAL GRANT THROUGH MID-AMERICA REGIONAL COUNCIL AND WAS AWARDED $2 MILLION. BUT WITH THAT COMES A LOCAL MATCH, WHICH WILL BE SHARED EQUALLY AMONGST JOHNSON COUNTY, THE CITY OF OVERLAND PARK AND LENEXA AT $200,000 EACH.

IF YOU RECALL, AND YOU'VE READ IN THE NEWS, JOHNSON COUNTY HAS ACTUALLY ALREADY SECURED A NUMBER OF BUSSES FOR ALL OF THE TRANSIT NEEDS THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO COORDINATE AND PLAN OVER THE LAST YEAR FOR THE WORLD CUP, AND TEN OF THOSE BUSSES WOULD BE DEDICATED TO THIS ROUTE, AND I'LL TALK ABOUT OPERATIONAL DETAILS ABOUT THAT AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY HERE IN A MOMENT.

BUT YOU CAN SEE A PICTURE OF OUR NICE JOHNSON COUNTY BUSSES.
