Section A. That a development plan in District UR (Urban Redevelopment) generally located at the northeast corner of East 63rd Street and Bushman Drive, and more specifically described as follows:
Lot A Blue Hills Centre - Tract One, A Subdivision in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri, according to the recorded plat thereof.
is hereby approved, subject to the following conditions:
1. No UR final plan shall be required for the repurposing of the former bank into an indoor event space. The applicant shall provide all required information with the building permit application which will be reviewed by Development Management staff.
2. Ordinance No. 100212, including all conditions provided therein, shall remain in full force and effect.
3. Fire and life safety systems shall be brought into compliance with current codes for the occupancy that is the space now.
4. The developer shall ensure that water and fire service lines should meet current Water Services Department rules and regulations prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
5. The developer shall have a water flow test done to ensure there is adequate water pressure to serve the development.
6. When an existing building is being renovated, is being changed in use or occupancy, or is undergoing a building addition, and the existing water service line(s) will be reused, the water service line(s) and related appurtenances shall meet the most current version of Kansas City Water rules and regulations.
7. The developer shall submit a storm drainage analysis from a Missouri-licensed civil engineer to the Kansas City Water Services Department evaluating proposed improvements and impact to drainage conditions. Since this project is within a "Combined Sewer Overflow" (CSO) district, the project shall be designed to retain rainfall of 1.5 inch depth over the disturbed area to simulate natural runoff conditions and reduce small storm discharge to the combined sewer system and manage the 10-year storm and 100-year storm per currently adopted APWA standards. The analysis shall be submitted prior to issuance of any building permits, and the developer shall secure permits to construct any improvements required by the Kansas City Water Services Department prior to issuance of any certificate of occupancy.
8. The developer shall grant a BMP easement for the proposed rain gardens to the City as required by the Kansas City Water Services Department, prior to recording the plat or issuance of any building permits.
A copy of said development plan is on file in the office of the City Clerk with this ordinance and is made a part hereof.
Section B. That the Council finds and declares that before taking any action on the proposed amendment and development plan hereinabove, all public notices and hearings required by the Zoning and Development Code have been given and had.
