Hi everyone! In anticipation of the Troost Overlay zoning meeting on Thursday at 6 pm at DeLaSalle (3737 Troost), weve obtained the overlay documents and posted them on the HPNA website at hydeparkkc.org. Included is a powerpoint summarizing all the public planning meetings weve had in the last three years (you will remember the ones at Mohart and Kaufman) and the recommendations from them, which is the starting point. There is a map of the proposed overlay district, the overlay document (two pages) and a zoning chart of the proposal. A couple items of note: 1. If you have questions before the meeting, call the experts at City Hall. Diane Binckley at 816-513-8817 2. It only goes to mid-block between Troost/Harrison and Troost/Forest, so Harrison and Forest properties are not affected unless they have been legally joined with a Troost property. 3. Current uses are grandfathered. 4. The goal is to pass the zoning portion of the overlay now so that we can begin to enjoy the zoning protection with regard to development on Troost. There are no design guidelines in the current proposal. The expectation is that public meetings re design guidelines will begin next Spring. That process will be lengthy. See you tomorrow night!
