The Overland Park Planning Commission meeting on May 12, 2025, focused on the continued discussion regarding the Metcalfe Village project, located at the southeast corner of 150 Ninth Street and Metcalfe. This item was carried over from the previous meeting to ensure proper notification and is linked to a northern parcel that was recently approved for mixed-use development.

The southern piece under consideration includes 270 apartment units and 45,847 square feet of retail space across six buildings. The area is designated as a compact neighborhood and commercial hub in the Overland Park framework. Surrounding properties include large lot residential areas, small lot single-family homes, duplexes, and triplexes, with commercial and industrial zoning across Metcalfe to the west.

The proposal includes various uses, such as a gas station and a daycare, with additional plans for drive-through facilities and general retail. The development plan has undergone several revisions over the years, but the current proposal remains largely consistent with previous approvals. Staff recommended approval of the project, subject to stipulations outlined in the staff report.

The meeting also featured comments from Patrick Royer of Clover Architects, who represented the applicant. He confirmed that there were no significant changes to the proposal since the last discussion. The commission did not raise any questions, indicating a smooth path forward for the project.

Overall, the Metcalfe Village development is poised to enhance the area with residential and commercial options, reflecting ongoing growth and planning efforts in Overland Park.
