The 47th and Mission Road area design review overlay district is established by this
part, enacted to implement the goals and policies of the 47th and Mission Road Area
Concept Plan, adopted by the cities of Westwood, Roeland Park, and the unified government.
The 47th and Mission Road Area Concept Plan was drafted pursuant to the Interlocal
Cooperation Act, K.S.A. 12-2901—12-2909 and12-744(c), and the interlocal agreement
between the Cities of Roeland Park, Westwood, and the unified government (collectively
"jurisdictions"). This subdivisions translates the relevant portion of the plan within
the boundaries of the unified government into the zoning ordinance, in addition to
all current regulations. This subdivision will accompany a similar ordinance adopted
by each jurisdiction to ensure consistent implementation of the 47th and Mission Road
Area Concept Plan. In addition, this subdivision establishes the 47th and Mission
Road area development and management committee as a multijurisdictional body to assist
in implementation of the plan.
