She also explained that in order for the incentive conversation for the newly proposed project to happen, this public hearing to bring additional properties into one TIF district has to be completed first. Ms. mission MINUTES OF THE MISSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 21, 2026 Smith explained that some issues have arisen from the County related to revised legal descriptions incorporated into the ordinance.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Resident Joshua, who lives in the Mission Hills Apartments, asked for more lighting down Martway, Deaborn and Woodson (between Johnson Drive and Martway) for safer walking during nighttime hours. John Arnett of Mission, Kansas thanked the Council and staff for his recognition tonight, and for their support of the Sustainability Commission. He emphasized the importance of the work and the work that different departments in the City do to support sustainability. Councilmember Kring thanked Mr. Arnett and listed some of his additional accomplishments, including bringing the Sustainability Commission into the process of development project applications. She thanked Mr. Arnett for his hard work. PLANNING COMMISSION Rezoning five (5) parcels in the 5200 Block of Martway from Main Street 2 ("MS-2") zoning district to Downtown Neighborhood District ("D N D") City Planner Taylor Cunningham introduced this rezoning request from Main Street 2 ("MS-2") zoning district to Downtown Neighborhood District ("DND") for five parcels in the 5200 block of Martway to be developed as a multi -family project by the Sunflower Development Group. The current zoning requires a commercial component within the development, and after speaking with the applicant, they didn't feel like a retail component was financially feasible. Their recently completed project, The Lanes, located directly west of this proposed project, has not seen much movement in leasing of its live/work units which fulfilled the retail/commercial component of that project. All other units in the misspp �- MINUTES OF THE MISSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 21, 2026 building are rented. Additionally, there are many other vacant commercial spaces in Mission, including directly across the street in the Mission Mart shopping center. The Developer doesn't believe it makes sense to build brand- new commercial space in this project to compete with that which already exists. Staff believes this rezoning does fit within the intent of the zoning code, and would be an improved use of the space. Additionally, construction of the project actually reduces the amount of impermeable surface area and is not believed to have adverse impacts on health and safety. Staff and the Planning Commission have both recommended approval of the rezoning. There were no public comments. Councilmember Kring asked how many units were called for in the original Lanes Phase II project, which has morphed into this new Encore project. Ms. Cunningham explained there were 96 and Councilmember Kring clarified that number will now jump to 180. Councilmember Vaughn asked how many live/work units are leased and the applicant responded four. Ms. Smith added that the units are designed to be live/work units however none of the four that are leasedm out of the seven total, are being used for business operations as well as living. They are just being lived in. Moved by Carpenter -Davis, seconded by Schmid to approve an Ordinance rezoning five (5) parcels of property along the southside of Martway from Roeland Drive to 5399 Martway from Main Street 2 ("MS-2") zoning district to Downtown Neighborhood District ("DND") zoning district. Voting AYE: Komosa, Ryherd, Carpenter -Davis, Vaughn, Kring, Haden Chomphosy, and Schmid. Motion Carried. Preliminary Development Plan — Encore Multi -family Development Project (5200 block of Martway) Ms. Cunningham next presented the preliminary development plan for The Encore Multi -Family Development Project. She gave an overview of the site as it is now, along with the proposed project. A 180-unit multi -family residential project with a five -level parking garage on the west side with 241 parking stalls. Additionally, there will be 12 on street parking spaces added and, because the project will encompass the city -owned transit Park and Ride lot, the first floor of the parking garage will be dedicated for public parking. The structure itself is proposed at four -stories, which is a variance that will need to be approved. The other variance is for density because the project is anticipated to come in at five MISS)on MINUTES OF THE MISSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 21, 2026 units per acre over the density prescribed by the code. The project will add a crosswalk across Martway to the Mission Transit Center and for general crossing of the road. There will also be an eight -foot sidewalk that will connect to the existing sidewalk at The Lanes. There is also compensatory stormwater storage in the southern portion of the site. Staff are requiring a preliminary and final plat to establish easements and access and maintenance agreements. Ms. Cunningham then reviewed the elevation slides with some detailed parking garage drawings, along with a snapshot of the development. She also reviewed amenities including an outdoor pool and private dog park, along with fitness amenities and a rooftop terrace. There will also be extensive screening around the parking garage on the north side of Martway. She also reviewed renderings of what the finished project will look like. Additionally, Staff have secured an access agreement and drainage agreement for access and maintenance needs along the creek channel. Banks Floodman of Sunflower Development explained their vision of the project along the long and narrow project site. He explained they are excited for the project. There were no public comments. Councilmember Vaughn asked how the first -floor public parking will be advertised. Mr. Floodman explained that there will be gated and secure resident parking for everything about the first level, and signage will be posted for first level public parking. She then asked why the density is important to increase and why the variance is important. Mr. Floodman explained that construction costs against number of units has to make sense while balancing the right size for the location. Councilmember Vaughn asked for more guidance on where the density requirements come from. Ms. Cunningham explained how that comes from the City's current zoning code, and shared some information on how those numbers are calculated. Ms. Cunningham explained that the requirements are decades old and are currently being reviewed to be updated. Deputy City Administrator Brian Scott explained that density is really driven by the market and costs during and after construction, along with return -on -investment considerations. Councilmember Haden Chomphosy asked Mr. Floodman whether the compensatory stormwater storage is calculated to account for increasing climate incidents or based on older standards. Mr. Floodman asked Andy Gabbert, civil engineer, to speak to this. Mr. Gabbert explained that currently flood waters come up into the parking area, but after the site work the floodwater will still misses MINUTES OF THE MISSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 21, 2026 have an area to come into but it will be moved. This is a nice alternative to them trying to force floodwaters up or down stream. Ms. Smith added that the design of the Rock Creek Channel project from several years ago was designed with higher -level rain events in mind. Councilmember Haden Chomphsoy asked about the current usage of the Park and Ride lot. Ms. Cunningham explained that it is just a handful of cars typically, and a one-to-one trade is being done of parking spaces. She also added that, related to the compensatory storage, the retaining wall behind the site was never completed behind the previous Wendy's building due to lack of cooperation by the property owner. That retaining wall will be completed to the engineer's standards with this project. Councilmember Komosa asked if the spread of unit types is typical and how does it compare to The Lanes. Mr. Floodman explained the breakdown is very similar to The Lanes, and with The Lanes they have seen a surge in desire for the studio and one -bedroom units with those being the most desirable for people who wish to not live with a roommate. Councilmember Kring shared her thoughts related to the increase in multi -family housing projects and concerns related to staffing and support of so many new residents. She also asked for a matrix of all multi -family housing in the City. Ms. Smith explained that a matrix of projects was emailed out earlier in the day. She also addressed staffing in the future and how staff are already thinking about those things related to these projects, assuring that when the density reaches a point that impacts current staffing or other resource levels, that information will be presented to the Council as they consider the projects. Ms. Cunningham explained that Police Department staff certified in crime prevention were involved in the project review process and that has been very valuable. Councilmember Vaughn asked if utility needs and water had been looked at and Ms. Cunningham explained they had been, and a consulting engineer also reviews the project. Moved by Carpenter -Davis, seconded by Ryherd to approve an Ordinance for a preliminary development plan for a 180-unit multi -family development project in the 5200 Block of Martway with stipulations. Voting AYE: Vaughn, Haden Chomphosy, Komosa, Ryherd, Schmid, Carpenter - Davis. Voting NAY: Kring. Motion Carried. kIF mission MINUTES OF THE MISSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 21, 2026 COMMITTEE REPORTS Finance and Administration Committee Councilmember Schmid explained that the Finance & Administration Committee met on January 14 and considered seven items. The meeting minutes and Agenda Updates related to Order of Business were approved under the Consent Agenda earlier tonight. An ordinance terminating TIF Project Plan (Rock Creek Redevelopment District No. 3C), ordinance adjusting Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District boundaries for Rock Creek Redevelopment Districts 3B and 3C, and consideration of the repeal of select City Council Policies will be considered under the Regular Agenda this evening. Two items from the meeting, Governing Body Compensation and Council Board and Commission Liaison Appointments, were items for discussion that did not require further Council action. 7a. Ordinance Terminating TIF Proiect Plan (Rock Creek Redevelopment District No. 3C) In September 2024, via Ordinance No. 1613, the City adopted a Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Project Plan for Rock Creek Redevelopment District No. 3C for a 96-unit multi -family project proposed by Sunflower Development group. Since that time, the developer has abandoned those plans and is now seeking both zoning entitlements and public incentives for a larger, revised project to be known as Encore. In order to move forward in the review process, the previous TIF Project plan is no longer valid and should be terminated. Although the TIF statutes do not address outright termination of a redevelopment project plan, taking such action also does not conflict with any provisions of the TIF Act. Therefore, the Governing Body, pursuant to its home rule powers will consider an ordinance terminating the Project Plan and repealing the relevant portions of Ordinance No. 1613. The Ordinance in the packet was drafted by Gilmore & Bell P.C. and will accomplish the termination. Termination of the Tax Increment Financing Redevelopment Project Plan requires a 2/3 majority vote of the Governing Body. There were no public comments. Moved by Schmid, seconded by Ryherd to approve the Ordinance terminating the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Redevelopment Project Plan for Rock Creek Redevelopment District No. 3C. misspp ''iTilPki1j11*19]0i:IliM6MIs] ►[d11i'Ldd11U61IMi'd4=11IRN January 21, 2026 Voting AYE: Vaughn, Haden Chomphosy, Komosa, Ryherd, Schmid, Carpenter - Davis. Voting NAY: Kring. Motion Carried. 7b. Ordinance Adiustino Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District Boundaries for Rock Creek Redevelopment Districts 3113 and 3C In 2020, Sunflower Development Group received zoning entitlements and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) incentives for construction of The Lanes, a five -story, 168-unit multi -family housing development on the site of the former Mission Bowl (5399 Martway). In 2023, Sunflower proposed a second phase immediately east of The Lanes. The Developer secured approvals for both zoning entitlements and TIF incentives for the Phase II project. As a part of that process, a separate Tax Increment Financing District, Rock Creek Redevelopment District 3C, was created. The Developer now wishes to abandon the approved Phase II project in favor of a larger development known as Encore. They have proposed a 180-unit multi- family development that will include a five -story parking structure situated between The Lanes and the new building. It will contain a mix of studio, one - and two -bedroom units along with other amenities including a pool, work facilities and a conference/office area. The development site comprises five (5) parcels of land between The Lanes and Roeland Drive. These include the parking lot formerly associated with the Security Bank/Walz Tetrick building, the City -owned transit park and ride lot, and the former Wendy's property. The entire site is approximately 3.34 acres. The zoning entitlement components of the project were presented on the January 14, 2026 Community Development Committee agenda. The Developer plans to request TIF incentives similar to those approved for The Lanes and the previous Phase II project. In order to accomplish this, the TIF District established with Phase II (Rock Creek Redevelopment District 3C) has to be expanded to include the other parcels which are currently part of Rock Creek Redevelopment District 3B. Before any of the other steps in the TIF process can occur, the parcels to be included as part of the Encore project must be reassembled into a single TIF district by removing the affected parcels from Rock Creek Redevelopment District 3B and adding them to Rock Creek Redevelopment District 3C. Following the prior week's committee meeting, the County raised some questions concerning legal descriptions included in the ordinance. Those were -ft mission MINUTES OF THE MISSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 21, 2026 corrected per the County's direction and the updated ordinance was to be considered by the Council. There were no public comments. Councilmember Schmid asked to clarify that the structure is a four-story structure with a five -story parking structure, not a five -story structure for the main structure. Ms. Smith confirmed that is correct. Moved by Schmid, seconded by K o m o s a to adopt the updated Ordinance with corrected legal descriptions approving the removal of property within Rock Creek Redevelopment District No. 3B and the addition of property to Rock Creek Redevelopment District No. 3C. Voting AYE: Vaughn, Haden Chomphosy, Komosa, Ryherd, Schmid, Carpenter - Davis. Voting NAY: Kring. Motion Carried. 7c. Repealing Select City Council Policies In the fall of 2025, Staff began a process of reviewing all City Council Policies. The goal of this work is to repeal any unnecessary or outdated policies and replace outdated language or procedures with clear, accurate, and actionable guidelines that reflect current practice. Tonight, five policies that it has been determined are no longer relevant are being recommended for repeal. Those include: • Council Policy 101 - Budget Amendments • Council Policy 105 - Mission Business Development Committee (MBDC): • Council Policy 108 - Relations, Elected Officials and Staff • Council Policy 121 - Park Land and Asset Management • Council Policy 125 - Policy Relating to the Annual Street Maintenance Program Details regarding the original intent and purpose of the policies and the reason for repeal is detailed in the Action Item Summary and was presented at the January 14, 2026 Finance & Administration Committee meeting. Repeal of these policies will continue the work of modernizing the City Council Policy Manual. Staff anticipate bringing forward more policy revisions or deletions throughout 2026. MINUTES OF THE MISSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 21, 2026 There were no public comments. Councilmember Schmid commented that as potential growth comes, anything that can be modernized for efficiency is great. He likes the idea of this review and the continuation of the process. Councilmember Vaughn shared her concerns that all policies are not reviewed periodically, and should the Council ask for that at meetings or will those reviews just be done. Ms. Smith explained it can become an issue of time, but Staff have started with the low hanging fruit that doesn't require a lot of Council work to modify. She explained some policy review and revision can take quite a lot of time, and some can be done quickly. Staff are committed to the process and hope to map out that review. Councilmember Haden Chomphosy pointed out a typing error that should be corrected or an incorrect date. Moved by Schmid, seconded by K r i n g to repeal the following City Council Policies: 101, 105, 108, 121, and 125. Voting AYE: Vaughn, Haden Chomphosy, Komosa, Ryherd, Kring, Schmid, Carpenter -Davis. Motion Carried. Community Development Committee Councilmember Carpenter -Davis explained that The Community Development Committee also met on January 14 and considered seven items. The meeting minutes, Right -of -Way Maintenance Agreement - Mission Flats, LLC, Johnson Drive (Metcalf to Lamar) CARS Project Interlocal Agreement, City-wide Mowing Contract Renewal with Kansas Land Management, and Rock Creek Stormwater Improvements Project - WaterOne Interlocal Agreement were approved under the Consent Agenda earlier tonight. Addendum #1 to the Agreement with Orion Planning + Design for Phase II of the Update of the City's Land Use Code, and updated Right -of -Way Use Agreement with Mission -Beverly, LLC will be considered under the Regular Agenda this evening. 7d. Addendum #1 to the Agreement with Orion Planning + Design for mission MINUTES OF THE MISSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 21, 2026 Phase II of the Update of the City's Land Use Code The City Council approved an agreement with Orion Planning + Design in November of 2024 to assist the City in updating its land use code The scope of work entailed a two-phase approach to the project. The first phase was a zoning code audit which consisted of a review of the City's current land use code and how it aligns with the newly adopted comprehensive plan and other master plans and studies in achieving the land use goals of the City. This phase also included extensive engagement with internal and external stakeholders to garner feedback about the effectiveness of the current land use code and the development process in general. This work resulted in a Zoning Code Audit that was presented to the City Council and Planning Commission at a joint work session in early December. The second phase of the project will be the actual drafting of a new land use code for the City of Mission. This will be a year -long process with work being done primarily by staff and the consultant team. There will be periodic meetings with a project steering committee made up of three members from the City Council and three members from the Planning Commission. The purpose of the steering committee is to provide input and feedback on the work that is being done to ensure that it is aligned with Mission's goals, and to provide guidance on questions that may arise. Members of the steering committee will include representatives from the City Council and the Planning Commission. Moved by Carpenter -Davis, seconded by V a u g h n to authorize the City Administrator to execute an Addendum #1 to the agreement with Orion Planning + Design for Phase II of the Land Use Code update in an amount not to exceed $100,000. There were no public comments. Voting AYE: Vaughn, Komosa, Haden Chomphosy, Ryherd, Kring, Schmid, Carpenter -Davis. Motion Carried. 7e. Updated Rioht-of-Way Use Agreement - Mission -Beverly, LLC The City Council recently approved a Right -of -Way Use Agreement with Mission Beverly, LLC to allow certain portions of the Mission -Beverly multi -family development project to encroach into the City's right-of-way along Dearborn, Beverly, and Martway streets. ,11 mission MINUTES OF THE MISSION CITY COUNCIL MEETING January 21, 2026 In further reviewing the attached exhibit to this agreement that showed the various encroachments, it was discovered that the previous agreement did not include a portion of the development project that will encroach into the easement for the Rock Creek Trail and right-of-way along the southside of Martway. The actual encroachment into the trail is a doorway landing, including the stairs and ADA accessible ramp. A planter box will encroach about a foot and half into the right-of-way. In discussing this matter with the City's attorney and the attorney representing Mission Beverly, it was determined that the best course of action would be to void the approved agreement and adopt an entirely new agreement with the correct language recognizing the encroachment as well as incorporating a corrected exhibit. Moved by Carpenter -Davis, seconded by Haden C h o m u h o sv to approve an updated Right -of -Way Use Agreement with Mission Beverly, LLC (Milhaus development group) to allow certain portions of the Mission -Beverly multi -family development project to encroach into the City's right-of-way along Dearborn, Beverly, and Martway streets. There were no public comments. Voting AYE: Vaughn, Komosa, Haden Chomphosy, Ryherd, Kring, Schmid, Carpenter -Davis. Motion Carried. UNFINISHED BUSINESS There was no unfinished business. NEW BUSINESS 9a. Easement Acquisition for the 2026 Johnson Drive Reconstruction Project Public Works Director Stephanie Boyce explained that additional easements have come in related to the 2026 Johnson Drive project to be approved, recorded, and paid for. Staff is still working through the acquisition project and are negotiating with property owners. Tonight, CVS and Burger King easements are up for approval. Those corporate owned properties do take more time and staff is glad to have these two resolved. There are five parcels remaining, four of which are subject to the eminent domain proceedings moving forward in February. mission MINIIIj1 3•73� i i6��L•7.[9�iz•Z•I�P►I•7I�Tira rr.[�3 January 21, 2026 Councilmember Komosa asked for an explanation of the condemnation process. Ms. Boyce explained that in a Federally funded project like this one, all easements must be acquired to move forward. Each property is appraised and staff submit the appraisals to the businesses with an offer letter for the property. These easements are all either for temporary construction easements during the project, or to expand the sidewalk facing Johnson Drive. There is a two-year warranty period for the temporary easements. Some properties choose to go to the condemnation process rather than take the City's offer. Hearings will be held in February where court -appointed appraisers will hear from the City and the property owner to determine final valuations. Ms. Smith added that the City has limited ability to use condemnation, but can for a public purpose, such as a street project like Johnson Drive. She mentioned that condemnation has a very limited scope to avoid cities abusing the process. Councilmember Vaughn asked who pays for the appraisals. Ms. Boyce explained the City pays for those appraisals, the attorney representing us in the process and the court -appointed appraisers' time. Property owners pay for their attorneys and any additional work they seek out. Moved by Carpenter -Davis, seconded by Schmid to authorize the acceptance and recording of right-of-way, permanent sidewalk easements, and temporary construction easements required for the 2026 Johnson Drive Street Reconstruction Project. This includes authorizing the City Administrator to execute the easement documents on behalf of the City of Mission and to issue payment to property owners as applicable.
