Johnson County Planning Commission 9-28-2026

The Johnson County Planning Commission meeting on September 28, 2026, continued consideration of Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) amendments concerning group homes and nursing homes. At a public hearing, a representative of Story Cottage Living and Senior Home supported allowing up to 12 residents through a site-specific special-exception process, while a commissioner argued for retaining an eight-resident limit. Commissioners also discussed neighborhood impacts, state licensing, and how the proposed provisions would apply to group homes generally.

The commission voted to recommend approval of the UDO amendments as presented to the county commissioners; the recorded roll call included an abstention and an absent member, though the transcript does not fully capture every vote. The meeting also included approval of prior minutes and adjournment. No procurement, contract, or spending activity was identified.
