Planning Commission Meeting (6/11/2026) | LEE'S SUMMIT, MO

The City of Lee's Summit Planning Commission held a meeting on June 11, 2026, primarily to review and approve a rezoning and preliminary development plan for a new Dylan's grocery store, including a fuel kiosk with canopy and additional retail space. The project involves rezoning approximately 21.61 acres to a commercial district to accommodate a 100,000 square foot grocery store with gas pumps and four future outlots. The commission discussed several modification requests related to landscaping buffers, lighting pole heights, building facade materials, and wall articulation. Staff supported most modifications except for the facade material reduction. The commission unanimously approved the rezoning and preliminary development plan with an added condition requiring the applicant to work with city staff to develop an elevated facade for the fuel kiosk. Additional topics included stormwater management, traffic impact near a nearby school, pedestrian connectivity, and community engagement. The meeting also included updates on upcoming code changes and community events.
