Meeting agenda items for June 2
Among other items on the agenda, council members will discuss:
- As part of the council’s consent agenda, it will consider an agreement with HNTB Corporation to finalize designs of the Santa Fe Improvement project.
- An ordinance updating the North Ridgeview Road Overlay District, which eliminates conflicting requirements with the city’s Comprehensive Plan. The update will “support... redevelopment opportunities within and near existing commercial centers,” the agenda says.
- A rezoning request for a plot of land northeast of W. 119th St and S. Lone Elm Road for new town homes to be built in the area. The rezoning request first came to the council after the planning commission unanimously recommended in December 2025 that the council deny the request. It was sent back to staff for further review.
- Ordinance recognizing that an area within Olathe’s Tax Increment Financing District, for Bass Pro Shops, is ending after 20 years. Bonds have been fully repaid for Area 1 within the district, approximately 21 acres at the southeast corner of 119th Street and Renner Boulevard.
The meeting also includes an executive session where the council will meet with the city attorney for matters not immediately available for public record.
